EPOV

Two years had passed since I last left forks. I had told the woman I loved that I didn't want her and left. I felt horrible. But it was the right thing to do. Now here I am leaving the airport from Seattle to then drive to forks to meet my family. I had told them when I called last that my visit was going to be short. I didn't want to see her. I didn't want her to see me. I just missed my family.

After leaving Forks it wasn't long till I also left my family the Cullen's as well. I couldn't stand all the love they shared with each other. Lame? I know. But after many attempts to forget Bella through tracking and travelling, I failed. I just couldn't get her out of my head, every thought was about Bella. So when Alice called and told me to come home I slowly made my way back.

They had moved back to forks, it was Esme's favourite home and the others missed it. They had decided not to go to school for another year or two, for they too were missing Bella. I personally think it was their way to keep an eye on her, after I left her. I didn't like it. How was Bella meant to live the life she was meant to have with a coven of vampires sitting in the shadows watching her? I told them not to but they just wouldn't listen. They still continued to live there.

As I pulled into the long windy drive way it wasn't long until I could hear the bustling minds of my family. I truly did miss them all. The second I stepped out of the car I had Alice's small arms wrapped around me.

"Edward! How are you? I've missed you! God so much as happened! I got more clothes, and finished another fashion course, I re-did jaspers and my room, oh and yours, I hope you don't mind. I also got you a whole new wardrobe full of clothes and..."

"Wow Alice, let him breath" Jasper placed a hand on Alice's shoulder and she took a step back.

"Thanks Jasper," I said embracing him in a quick hug, "hi Alice, yeah I'm good. I missed you too and I don't mind about the room, I don't plan to stay that long anyway. Where is everyone else" I quickly realized it was only us three outside, and quickly side stepped Jasper and Alice and headed for the front door.

"See I told you he wouldn't mind Jasper" Alice said shooting a glance towards Jasper.

"I never said he wouldn't, I just said you shouldn't"

"Anyways, Edward everyone is inside, Esme insisted that we should wait for you to come in but I have missed you too much!"

"Okay Alice and like I said I missed you too, it has been quite lonely without you around! Hello?" I called out to the rest of my family as I walked inside. Alice was right. There was Carlisle and Esme ready to greet me just off the front entrance, and Emmett and rose just behind them. I didn't waste time; I embraced both Esme and Carlisle in a hug.

"Hi mum, dad, I've missed you, sorry about being away for so long" Carlisle let go but Esme continued to hug for a bit longer.

"Oh Edward, I've missed you so much, are you okay, have you been well?"

"Yes Esme I've been good, how about you?"

"That's good son, yeah we have all been good, buts it's good to have you back home where you belong" Carlisle placed a hand around Esme's shoulders, but they were pushed out of the way pretty quickly by Emmett.

"Ed! What's up brother, it's been no fun around here without you. Heard you went to Africa, catch any good meals? Or ladies for that matter?"

"Emmett! Shut it, sorry Edward he doesn't think, hi how are you holding up?" I had to admit, rose could be a huge pain in the butt, but she sometimes said the right thing at the right time.

"Yeah I'm good rose, yourself?"

"Im fine, but I have to say, the place hasn't been the same without you!" everyone laughed and agreed. I missed them all so much and I now know they did too; maybe sticking around for a bit longer wasn't that bad of an idea after all.

The rest of the night continued in the same manner. We went for a family hunt and then returned home. That's when everyone took off to their rooms for the night. This was going to be the hardest time. I sat on my couch in my room looking out of the window at the stars while my families spent time alone with the ones they loved. All I wanted was to be lying next to Bella on her old bed in her small room. But I knew that couldn't happen.

As I was watching the stars I wondered if she was out there watching the same sky as well. I wondered if she missed me, or if she had forgot about me. I wondered what she was doing and what she was wearing and mostly what did she dream about each night, and if she still called my name in her sleep, like the times I was there with her. I knew I would never find out and as much as that hurt I knew it was for the best.

~**~

I didn't move from my couch the next morning until Alice came rushing in with Emmett, rose and Jasper pulling me away to hunt with them. I didn't really have a choice so I went along with it. It was good to have some company again while hunting. I had gotten used to hunting alone, and it was no fun. Emmett and I tackled each other for a mountain lion we came across, which we lost as rose flew in and took it right from under us. I had forgotten how easily Alice and Jasper hunted. Alice simply used her visions to find her prey and jasper used all his senses from when he was fighting with Maria. They left the rest of us to shame.

It wasn't long until Emmett and rose, after a lot of remarks about my virginity and some hits here and there, left after rose dragged Emmett into town to shop. Jasper had to leave for a history class in Seattle, which left me and Alice. We sat together on a tree branch high enough to overlook the whole of forks and half of the reservation. We talked about everything we had missed in each other's lives. We were so relaxed, just like the old days.

"I feel for Emmett, rose won't let him get out of there alive" Alice laughed and I joined.

"Poor Emmett, I would hate to be in his shoes"

"I don't think it's too bad!" Alice said tapping my on the arm,

"Yeah but Alice you like shopping, us guys have better things to do"

"Like what Edward! All you do is play your stupid piano and study for things you already know!"

"Yeah but we have a manliness to maintain"

"And what is that meant to mean?" Alice was laughing again harder.

"We have to plan how to make our favourite lady happy"

"Oh really? And who might that be?" she said looking at me with a smile across her face

"You, my darling, little, pain in the ass, sister of course!" Lie! Lie! Lie! Bella was my favourite, most loved, treasured, darling girl! I loved Alice, but nowhere as close as Bella.

"Aww your sweet! But I don't believe you, I know you better than that Edward, but don't worry we don't have to talk about her"

"Thanks Alice"

"For what?

"Being there, you say and help so much without saying a word. I do love you little sister!"

She looked at me with so much love in her eyes. 'I love you too Edward!' She thought. I smiled at her but then looked down. I had to ask her, and it was now or never.

"How is she Alice" she knew who I meant.

"I don't know"

"Wait what? I thought you came to live here to look after her?"

"We did Edward, but then Carlisle suggested we listened to you, so none of us has been anywhere near her house or forks high" she hung her head, I saw in her thoughts that she really was ashamed of wanting to do otherwise.

"What about your visions, you would have seen her from time to time"

"I did for the first couple of months but then nothing, the last vision I saw was her rushing off in her truck to some place, but then she just cut off, I haven't seen one since"

"Where was she going?"

"That's the think, I never saw that part"

"How was she before that?" as much as I didn't want to know, I had to find out how was going.

"Not good Edward" she didn't look at me, but I saw glimpse of my Bella in her head as she remembered them. Bella was a mess. I saw her at school, not listening to anyone, then again in her room crying herself to bed, then screaming once asleep. Over all, the images that kept on coming spelt one thing out, she wasn't handling it like I hoped. She was worst, and this wasn't the life I wanted for my Bella.

"Are you sure she is okay? I mean now you have stopped having visions about her? Do you know why that is?" I needed to know she was better now. To make sure she was safe.

"We don't know, but I talked to Carlisle and she thinks she disappeared from my visions because she let go of us. You remember the first time I had a vision of Bella?" oh course I did, it was the day after I saved her from being crushed by Tylers truck. She knew I remembered so she continued. "Well that was the day Bella first entered our life, or really came into contact with you. And I think my last vision was the day she let you go. I'm sure she is fine Edward" she meant it, she was truly sorry. What if she was right about her visions, had Bella let me go? Was the only reason Alice had visions of Bella was because she was connected to us?

"I hope your right" I hoped they weren't wrong and she was hurt, because then it would be my fault and I couldn't deal with that.

"Me too, but in the mean time are you okay? Really? And don't try and lie because I will see it!"

"Truthfully? ... No" she was right, what's the advantage of lying; she would find out, and then I would get it.

"Talk to me Edward, let me in, I'm here for you" and she was. She always had. She was my best friend and sister.

"I don't know where to begin Alice"

"Start from the begging, if you get stuck ill help" she placed my hand in hers. And I felt at home, I truly did love my sister. I took a deep breath and begun. I told her everything, starting at the first day I met Bella. From what I got up to when I wasn't with them, to the way I felt as I told her we were leaving. I confessed to all my feeling out loud for Alice, and she sat there next to me and took it all. She listened and asked questions when appropriate. I felt relieved when it was all out, but it didn't solve the main problem, I still couldn't be with Bella.

"Oh Edward, I'm so sorry!" Alice said once I was done, she wrapped her arms around me into a hug. I hugged her back and we stayed like that for some time.

We didn't let go until we heard someone back down on the ground clear his breath.

"I'm so sorry to interrupt, but Esme wants to spend some quality time as a family. I think we are watching another movie or something, are you too coming?" Jasper said from under us. He didn't have to yell, my hearing picked it up as if he was next to me.

"Coming Jasper!" Alice grabbed my hand and we jumped down from the tree. Once we reached the ground, Alice kissed my cheek and replaced my hand with Jaspers. We then together ran off back home.

Jasper was right; we spent the rest of the night together as a family watching old fashioned movies. Every so often we would comment about when the movie had just come out how brilliant it was, and how times had changed. I found myself zoning out many time and thinking about Bella. I know Alice had told me she was fine, and I know no one else was worried but I dad to know. It was driving me crazy. How could Bella just disappear from Alice's sight when moments before she was living hell? What did a car ride do to make her disappear? I had to go see her. It would hurt more than anything to see her again but I had to do it.

I saw Alice doze out into a vision and as I watched in her mind I saw me going to Bella's house. The vision didn't show a lot but enough, and when it was done she looked over to me. I gave her an apologetic look and she nodded towards the door.

'Go Edward, I'll tell them you went hunting and need some time alone, just don't be too long! Good luck' Alice thoughtlooking back to the TV. I mouthed thank you to her then took off from the couch and threw the doors and headed for Bella's house. I heard Alice tell the others I was going hunting as I ran down the drive way.

I didn't bother driving. I would take too long. So I stuck to forest and side roads, sticking to the shadows, even if it was already dark outside. It didn't take long before I was running along the side streets of forks. I ran past mikes fathers' shop where last time I was here Bella worked, I knew the familiar scent I learnt to love wasn't around so I figured she no longer worked here.

As I came across forks high I decided to run around it quickly to check the old place out, but as I did I found Bella's scent wasn't around here either. She must have transferred to another school or was sick and hadn't attended in a while. But deep down I was beginning to worry.

As I finally reached Bella's street, I was waiting for her scent to hit me the closer I got to her house, but it never came. I soon found myself sitting in the tree just outside Bella's window. Of all the places I thought this would be where her scent would be the strongest, but I couldn't smell anything. I wondered if over time I had forgotten her scent or became immune to her call. But I knew that wasn't right.

I decided to jump into her window. As my feet hit the floor I was careful not to make a noise, just in case she was asleep. But as I went to her bed ad found she wasn't there, I knew something wasn't right. As I listened I could just make out the small heartbeat and breathing of someone in the house, her father down the hall. But that was the only sound I could hear in the house. Her father was the only one home. How could this be?

I started to pace the room, where could she be? Her scent was not fresh, but even that was hard to figure out, I was still having second thought about me being immune to her scent. She could have gone to LaPush, her father was friends with the chief and he had a boy her age, what if they had gotten together. She could be staying there for the night. I was so wrapped up in the thoughts of Bella I accidently knocked over her washing basket sending all he dirty washing flying across the floor. Her scent from the clothes hit me as the smell from them was released.

The strong potent smell was so old. It was Bella's, I now knew that, I also found out I wasn't immune to Bella's smell alter all. But why wasn't her scent around here? I considered asking Charlie himself but quickly decided against it. He wouldn't be happy to see me. But how else could I find out?

I decided the best way was to ask Carlisle, maybe he would know the answer. I jumped out of Bella's window and made my way back to our house, I we getting quite worried about Bella. What if something went wrong? As I was running down a small side street I noticed something stuck to a light post. I was there when I came down this street before on my way to Bella's house but I didn't take much notice of it. But this time I was drawn to it.

It was a flyer, a missing person's flyer. And on the front was a pitcher of my Bella. I suddenly became very dizzy and had to lean on the pole for support. My Bella was missing? How? When? Why?

I looked back up to the flyer and read the subscription:

MISSING

'Bella Swan'

Went missing on the 22 November

Last seen Driving a red 1953 Chevrolet pick up

Heading out of town towards Seattle

If found or have any other information please

Contact the police ASAP

My Bella went missing in November. I didn't know the year but the flyer was old, it had been on this post for quite a while. I didn't waste any time, I ripped the poster of the pole and ran back home. I didn't know what to do, where to begin. I had to find my Bella. I loved her to much to sit around and wait, and hope she is okay. What if she needs me?

I ran as fast as I could home, I needed to see Carlisle and I didn't have any time to wait. I ran into the living room, scaring everyone who was still watching a movie. Alice must not have seen me coming because even she looked shocked. I quickly handed the flyer to Carlisle who gasped when he read it. I was already at a computer. I had to find out how long ago she went missing.

Carlisle handed the flyer to Esme who had the same reaction as Carlisle.

"What is it?" Emmett asked. He was always inpatient.

"Bella's missing" Esme answered covering her mouth and looking over to me.

"What!" Alice stood up from the couch where she was leaning against Jasper.

Esme read out the flyer to them while Carlisle came over to the computer to me.

"I need to find out when" I told him. He nodded then walked over up to his study.

"Ill help" he called from his desk upstairs.

"I didn't see this" Alice was still freaking out.

"You haven't seen anything in over two years babe, it's no surprise you didn't see this" Jasper set a calming vibe over the house; it helped but didn't take away my persistence. Nothing could.

I started going thought all the police darter online and couldn't find anything. I looked up everything that had happened in the last year. There was nothing.

"Bella where the fuck are you!" I didn't mean to scream but this getting on my nerves. My Bella was out there somewhere, probably in trouble and here we were watching movies just an hour ago.

I looked up at my family and found them all staring at me. They were all talking to me through their minds telling me they are sorry and to calm down we would find her. It wasn't helping.

I was about to yell at them to do something when Carlisle came down the stairs stopping right in front of me.

"Found it! Bella went missing just two and a half months after we left. So that was two years ago. I'm sorry Edward, but no one has seen her or found anything leading to where she would be. They have given up on her, suggesting she is dead or ran away on purpose, but with no leads all over America, they consider her being dead would be the most obvious conclusion, I'm sorry" he hang his dead. This hurt him just as much as it hurt me.

"What about money? Did she have enough to go overseas?" Emmett asked.

"I don't think so. She hardly had enough for intuition. I was going to help her out but well we left." I told him. It wasn't a bad idea. Bella could have left the country but I didn't think she had enough to fly somewhere and live on the rest of it, and where would she go if she did have enough? I couldn't name one place.

"We will find her Edward; we will travel all over America if we had to" Esme declared walking over to me and placing her hand over my shoulder.

"Thank you Esme, but you guys stay here. You love it here and there is no need for you all to come. I will go and search, I have nothing else I was going to do and I was leaving soon anyways. And plus her blood calls to me. If I find her, when I find her, I will call you straight away. Sorry but I really have to leave now. I can't wait around any longer" I went to walk out the door when Alice ran past me blocking my way.

"You Edward Cullen are not leaving without me! We all get it, you love her, but so do we. You think you can't sit around here and wait for her to turn up, well either can I! I'm coming! Carlisle has the hospital and Emmett and rose will soon be planning another wedding soon, but me and jasper? We are free, and I would love nothing more to find my best friend. And plus Jasper and I haven't travelled in some time, it would be nice, don't you think Jazz?" she shot a look at Jasper, it wasn't treating, more pleading if anything, Jasper got up from the couch and walked over to her grabbing her hand.

"Alice if you didn't suggest it I was going to. And Edward, you will need the company. And the extra senses would help find her faster, I just finished my history class today, so it's a perfect plan" they had a point; they would be a huge help. But I knew I would not be a good person to be around. A part of me just wanted to leave here so I could take my anger and frustration and mostly pain from my action on some tree or boulder. I didn't want them all to witness that.

I looked between Alice and Jasper. They were both pleading in their heads for me to accept. I let out a sigh before running my hands through my hair. Did I want this?

"Fine, Alice and Jasper I would love for you two to come, but I only want to find my love as soon as possible, I hate to think of what she is going through"

"Oh Edward we understand, thank you so much. I'll go get packed. Jasper ill pack your stuff while you get the car up and running, we will be taking Edwards Volvo. Edward you just say good bye and breathe!" Alice took off up the stairs. That was one thing I loved about my sister, she always took control in the right moments, and it always helped.

It wasn't long until Jasper, Alice and I were in the car saying our last goodbyes to our family. We promised to keep in touch with any information, and Carlisle promised to keep track of Bella's profile online for us and tell us if there was any new information. Even if we all highly suspected there wouldn't be, it still helped. I knew the only chance I could find Bella was to look for her, and I also knew I had the biggest chance of finding my Bella. If I couldn't find her, no one could.

Alice looked at me from the backseat through the rear view mirror. She smiled at me and mouthed and thought the words 'let's go find our Bella'. I sent her back a smile and slammed my foot to the ground, sending the car speeding down the driveway, and on to the highway towards Seattle.
