Thank you to all those who didn't give up on me this is for you guys. Please review.


I held on to Rosalie in the rain for what seemed like hours. Our tears finally stopping, my shivering body shook Rosalie out of her haze. She scooped me up into her arm, ignoring the mud and water that we tracked into the house. She met Alice outside the shower. " Oh sweetie" She whispered. Rosalie wordlessly walked us into the bathroom and peeled off the soaked layers of our clothes. She pulled me close to her in the warm water.

The sheer intimacy of the moment blocked out all other thoughts, as she began to wash my hair. Her strong fingers combing through the tangled mess easily. I felt her cool lips on her favorite spot on the back of my neck. They pressed themselves over my skin lightly. The soft gesture made me turn in her arms and cling to her, my blunt nail scraping over diamond hard skin. Rosalie brushed her hand through my hair as she rocked me slowly. As I began to drift off I felt gentle hands dress me and the warm sheets of Rosalie's bed.

My night was filled with terror as the faces of my past came to haunt me. Their hate filled eyes and twisted faces. I thrashed in my sleep. My demons clawing at my soul. Trying to rip through to my heart. They had waited until I was weak, and they were claiming me, the pain was unbearable. I felt someone shaking me. Their eyes changed to the dark soulless eyes of James. His laughter, just as his demonic face twisted into a smile my demons lunged for me, and I awoke screaming. Sweat dripped down my body, my chest heaved as I tried to force air to my screaming lungs.

I felt Rosalie's lethal arms wrap around me and pull me onto her lap. But the images were oh so vivid. " Bella look at me. Its okay I've got you" He soothing voice broke through the blood rushing in my ears. She peppered soft kisses all over my face until my heart beat slowed. She didn't push me to tell her what happened. Which I was thankful for, when I did speak my voice was rough and scratchy.

The door opened and Alice came in with a glass of water, she sat on the edge of the bed, her face paler than normal and lacked her usual spark. " Thank you Alice." She paused and nodded her head at my decision. " She will Bella, just ask her. I think its a good idea." The pixie said before she gracefully left. " Rose, I want to leave Forks." I said slowly. I felt her nod against my hair. " Okay, I was thinking we could head up to Denali to see our cousins." I nuzzled my face into her neck. Her soothing scent lulling me into sleep.

The next morning I slipped out of bed while Rose was packing. Wrapping my self in one of Rose's silk robes, I stood by the glass doors leading to her balcony. I tested the door, it was unlocked. The wind greeted me gently, leaving the purple robe billowing around me as I looked out onto the Cullen land. The sun sat just above the trees, casting a scarlet huge that filtered through the trees. The air was crisp, a tell tale sign that winter was coming. I watched as birds flew over head, disappearing into trees.

I felt a smile creep onto my face as I felt someone watching me. I made to turn around but soon found cool hands skimming my sides to rest on the balcony. I leaned back into Rosalie who wrapped her arms around my waist. She let out a sigh of content, " Good morning my love" She said her smooth voice making my heart flutter. I turned in her arms to face her, she looked beautiful. Her topaz eyes were gentle, a soft smile graced her lips, I leaned in and pressed a sweet kiss to her cool lips. " Good morning Rose, have you packed?" I asked her softly. The peaceful silence around us to beautiful to break with loud voices. " Yes, I packed for you too. We can go when ever you want." She said. With a small nod I asked if I could have breakfast first. She said that would be fine, yet neither of us moved from our spot on the balcony. We stayed there in each others arms surrounded by the rising sun, until Esme called up and told us that my food was ready.

I gave Jasper one last hug thanking him for all his help. " Don't worry Bells , we will get this all sorted out." He said in his southern drawl. As Rosalie's jeep pulled away, I watched the trees blur. As we passed the " you are no leaving Forks" sign. The reality of why I was leaving hit me. And hit me hard. I leaned my head against the window, desperately wishing my past would become a blur, just like the trees.
