Thanks for reviewing! You made my day!

Alice was already off the couch, phone in hand, dialing. I stared at the precise rendering of my mother's family room. Uncharacteristically, Jasper slid closer to me. He lightly touched his hand to my shoulder, and the physical contact seemed to make his calming influence stronger. The panic stayed dull, unfocused.

"Bella," Alice said. I looked at her numbly.-

"Bella!" I was snapped out of my flashback and into the present. I saw a pixie like face staring at concerned. She had short, black hair. Alice.

"Alice?" I asked disoriented. "Y...you're Alice, aren't you? You and someone else were in the hotel with me...Jasper." I said trying to piece together my flashback.

"Oh, Bella, you remember me!" She hugged me tightly, her face was light up.

"Bits and pieces." I said feeling slightly more happy, but still frustrated.

"Bella, who are these people?" Danny asked me with rage in his voice.

I turned to glare at him, "I don't know exactly but I think that it's best you leave. Now!" I said icily.

"No way-" He began. But didn't finish. I shut his mouth and sent him back out the window where he came. I closed my eyes to concentrate. I saw through his mind where he was. I made him break out into a run at vampire speed and didn't stop until he was at the house. I opened my eyes to see seven pairs of eyes watching me curiously.

I flushed extremely embarrassed. "Sorry," I muttered. "He was really getting on my nerves."

I heard a deep chuckle. It came from an extremely muscular boy...more like man. I looked at him curiously trying to remember who he was. "Emmett." He said still smiling. I couldn't help but smile back, my smile was tentative, however. He was so massive yet playful and gentle.

"I'll introduce the rest of them later, I believe you had a couple of questions to ask me." Edward said, his voice still tight from the brawl that took place only moments before. On cue, the rest of them left, well, more like vanished.

"I'm sorry about Danny. He is extremely over protective. But I don't know why." I muttered. "He just doesn't get it."

"Doesn't get what?" Edward asked curiously. His brows furrowed together.

"He's tried to be with me on more than one occasion, but I kept turning him down. I know he really cares for me, but it's not my fault if I can't return those feelings." I said.

"Why not be with him?" Edward asked sadly. "You can't remember anything of your old life so why didn't you take up his offer."

"Because, I'm not supposed to." I answered as if that were the most stupid question in the whole world. His facial expression was nothing but blatant shock. "Every time we begin to get...close, I stop before we can even hold hands. I don't know why. Something inside me told me that it just wasn't right." He stared at me with nothing but mystification. "I know that sounds like I need to be put in a cell with padded walls but... I just couldn't shake the feeling...I can't." I said shrugging my shoulders. "I know that someone is meant for me, but it's not him, so why waste my time? Have you ever felt that way?" I said slightly embarrassed, I was pouring out the secrets of my...non-existent love life to him.

"Not too long ago." he whispered.

I peered up at him, his face held nothing but love. I was immersed into his topaz eyes for a moment. "So...um. How do you know me? How did we meet? Tell me everything."

He then proceeded to tell me everything, not leaving out a single detail. He told me about when we first met, the meadow, and all of his blood lust for me. When he told me about James and Victoria I let out a gasp.

"So that's why!" I said more to myself than to him, but he heard anyways.

"'That's why' what?" he asked me his eyebrows furrowed and his angel face became even more heavenly.

"I ran into Victoria a couple years ago. She said we used to be friends and she said that she could help me learn things about myself. Until she tried to kill me..or whatever it is we do." I said laughing at the last part. I didn't want him to know how close she had gotten. I fought back a shiver as memories of that day began to resurface. Her wild, red hair, her eyes only of pure hatred as she took out her lighter. "Mate for mate."

I saw him grow very tense, everything about him was tight and he was trying very hard to suppress his anger. "She what?" He said in a strangled voice.

"It's nothing. I am very capable of taking care of myself. Now please continue." I said trying to close this subject to further conversation.

He sighed and continued with the story. He then told me about my birthday party, and his voice was a whisper when it came to the end...our end. How he left me.

I then remembered only one thing that he said to me. The day he left me.

"Bella, I don't want you to come with me."

I gasped and looked desperately into his eyes. "You didn't want me?"

"Bella, I'm a good liar. I have to be." He desperately tried to explain. The panic was in his eyes, he didn't want me to leave again, that I could see. But he told me that he didn't want me...

I was beginning to remember bits and pieces of that day. The walk in the woods...the detached look on his face when he told me he was leaving...the dead look in his eyes when he said he didn't want me...and I remembered how I felt. Some part of my mind was screaming I told you so! I told you he was too good for you! I told you this wouldn't last! What made you think that you were ever good enough for him? He deserves someone like Rosalie, not an insignificant human girl like you. What made you think he actually ever loved you?

The truth was cruel like a kick in the face and I stood there dazed his voice slipping away like someone turning down the volume of a radio until it was silent. Everything was silent. I didn't hear my unnecessary breathing, I didn't hear his voice anymore, and didn't hear the birds. Nothing. It was silent, and it comforted me, and scared me. I was beginning to be pulled under by an overwhelming sense of despair. Waves of pain reared up so high I couldn't function. Then there was nothing. It was pitch black and even with my heightened sense of sight, I couldn't see. I desperately tried to find the surface, the light, anything. I was just stumbling around in the darkness. After a few minutes of this nonsense, I began to get angry andthen frightened, then all of a sudden everything was clear. I looked up and saw Edward holding me, only then did I realize I was on the floor. Carlisle was there as well.

I got up abruptly, blushing violently, I saw a concerned and pained look in his eyes, "I'm okay, I just need time to think this over. It's quite a lot." I said. His eyes were full of sadness and I had to look away. "I'll be back. I promise." I whispered as I jet through the door.

"Bella?" Alice asked me, "Are you going so soon?" She asked, a slightly frantic look was hidden in her eyes.

"I need time to think." I mumbled dismissively. I tried to go around her, but I was caught in her marble arms and suddenly I was embraced in a fierce hug.

"I've missed you. You have no idea how long I wondered it would be before you found us." Alice mumbled into my shoulder.

I drew away from her shocked at the statement that was just said, "What?" Her eyes went wide with anxiety as she realized what she had just done. "Y..you knew?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Bella...I...I changed you."
