Don't Own Twilight. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Gone Forever

Don't know what's going on

Don't know what went wrong

Feels like a hundred years I

Still can't believe you're gone

So I'll stay up all night

With these bloodshot eyes

While these walls surround me with the story of our life

Edward POV

She was gone. Gone forever. Never would I see her smile again. Never would I see that rosy red blush run up her cheeks. I had lost something more precious than anything. I had lost my soul.

I had come in from South America for my monthly pop up when I had heard the news. Emmett had come to pick me up from the airport when the news came on the radio. Emmett quickly tried to turn the stereo off before they could start the report. I slapped his hand to listen and saw him fidgeting. That's when the reporter came on, I can still here her voice announcing, even now.

And the search still continues for eighteen year old Isabella Swan. Last scene in La Push Washington on May 2nd. If you have any information concerning the search please contact the police of Forks Washington, 1-800-MISSING.

I had snapped off the radio before they could continue on with the report. I glanced over at Emmett to see him looking abashed at the steering wheel. "You knew didn't you?" I accused him.

He glanced up, "Well yah Edward. Its just…well Carlisle thought it best not to tell you. You know make it easier for you."

I glared at him, "Make it easier. What do you think you would do if that was Rosalie they were announcing dead on the radio?"

"Well technically they aren't sure she's dead." He muttered. My voice had risen all the while through this tirade.

It became low and fearful. "Do you really believe that?" I asked quietly. The chances were unimaginable. Knowing Bella it was all but impossible that she was still alive. I had left to protect her and the end result was her death. Now I was more than dead. "Emmett I'll run the rest of the way." I said.

"Edward seriously its like seventy more miles just relax…" I cut him off by opening the door while he was driving at hundred miles per hour. "Edward." He shouted after me. I didn't hear him. I couldn't hear anything but the wind roaring in my ears and a constant ringing that shook my head.

My last thoughts were, 'This must be what dying feels like.' I don't remember anything after that.

The pain that had lasted after that had never fully healed. Memories of her still assaulted me now and then but I usually kept them under a tight rein. I was the same towards my family as I had always been, maybe a bit more cold and distant but I still listened when the spoke and commented when necessary.

We had been living in Quillayute for more than a year now, and the world had seemed as bleak as ever. It was just after Christmas break and we were set to start the second semester at Quillayute High for this coming Monday.

Bella POV

The bell rang to signal the end of first block, with reluctance I pried myself away from the comfortable seat in the back and went to mix with the students in the hall. Doors on either side of the corridor were swinging open one by one as more students filed into the massive stream that navigated towards the lockers.

As I was walking past the Home Economics classroom a familiar face caught my eye. "Sophi, over here." I waved towards her. Her tense expression melted once she caught my eye. She rushed over and eagerly linked our arms while gabbing all the while of her first class.

That was the fantastic thing about Soph. She is shy and quiet when you first meet her but as soon as she lets loose she's an unstoppable tirade. Just now she was telling me of her horrible experience with the Home Ec teacher, Miss Griffin.

"I swear as soon as she saw me it was an instant dislike. She told me to put on an apron and made me sit in the very front row. While she was wafting this ghastly smelling mixture under our noses. It was dreadful."

I laughed at her, "And what color pray tell was this horrible smelling liquid?"

"This disgusting brown icky goo. It was enough to make any poor girl hurl." The look on her face told me it must have been really dreadful. "And the worst part was that everyone in the class seemed to like it. I kept seeing some of the girls dipping their fingers in it and licking them."

"This extremely icky brown goo wouldn't happen to be called chocolate? Would it?" I asked with an angel's face.

"Oh my god that's what the teacher was calling it too." She gasped.

I couldn't help it, when I saw her astonished face I burst out laughing. A couple kids passing by us turned around to glare and Sophi had to pinch my arm to get me to quiet down.

"Why are you laughing?" she asked with a glower.

I clutched my sides, "Sophi…chocolate is a sweet." She gave me a quizzical look which made me stop and explain. "You know how you have a preference for grey fox when we hunt?"

"Yes but what has that got to do with anything?" I held up a hand to stop her.

"Well humans have certain foods they like too. Chocolate to them is like grey fox to you." When she finally comprehended what I was telling her she look aghast.

"Eww. That sounds nauseating. Who in their right mind would want to eat that goo?"

"Well I don't think those humans in your class would be to keen to go out and drink a fox in cold blood either." My point was starting to grow on her.

"Oh. I see what you mean." We walked in companionable silence after that. "So…do you remember the first time you ate chocolate?" she asked. I glanced at her astonished. None of us really talked about our past lives, especially me.

Before I knew it, I was describing my first chocolate endeavor. "I was eating chocolate way before I can even remember. But there was this one time when I was ten that I remember the most." I looked over at Soph and she gave me an encouraging smile, "it was the day before my tenth birthday and my mom was working late. One of her students had broken his leg and she was gathering all his work for the next two months."

"I remember being so angry with her because we were supposed to be leaving for Hershey Park that night."

"What's Hershey Park?" asked Sophia.

"It's this big amusement park that endorses candy. She was taking me there for a present. Anyways when she called and told me we couldn't go I was crushed. You know the whole nine year old dream going up in smoke."

"That night when she came home I didn't talk to her. Then in the morning I woke up to this really weird sight." That day came back so vividly, the large posters that covered the walls and the brown streamers running across the ceiling.

"What did you wake up too?"

"She had somehow in the middle of the night come in and decorated my entire room as a Hershey endorsements add. There were big banners that had HERSHEYS written all over them. That wasn't even the best of it."

"When I started to move I felt this weird crinkling under me. It turns out my mom had poured over a hundred small Hershey kisses on my comforter and my floor was littered with a thousand bags of m&ms."

"She must have been waiting outside the door because a moment later she barges in carrying a huge chocolate cake with ten of the biggest Hershey kisses I've ever seen."

"Wow that seems like one of the best birthdays ever." Commented Sophi.

I glanced away from her and looked at my shoes, "It was." I said softly. "The best part was that we devoured that cake and all the other chocolates that day." I laughed at the memory, "I was puking my guts out for a week."

We laughed together, "It sounds like you had an awesome mom Bee."

My entire body softened as I remember my mother's warm and open face, "Yah, I did." I whispered so low that she could barely hear me.

We reached the quad then and spotted Pogue and Kahl coming out from their first block classes too. We all met in a small corner of to the side that was shadowed by a large sycamore tree.

"So how is your lovely ladies day going?" asked Pogue as he pulled Sophia around so that her head rested against his chest.

"Fine and yours?" I asked him sweetly.

"Three words," he said while holding up three fingers, "Quantum physics sucks!" we all laughed and chatted about the rest of our schedules.

As it always was I had only one class with Kahl and Sophi each and two with Pogue. The rest of the eight day block I was on my own. Before we could separate at the noise of second bell Sophi grabbed my arm to halt me.

"I almost forgot to tell you something else happened in Home Ec."

"What?" I asked while reading a map of how to get to my physiology class.

"There was a girl who sat next to me. She didn't like the chocolate either." She said.

"Soph she might have been just allergic to it." I rebuked.

"No it wasn't that. She just seemed sort of tense like me, and she sort of looked out of place with the students too."

"Out of place in what way. Like psychopath out-of-place or our kind of out-of-place?" I asked.

"Our kind of out-of-place. And she sort of looked like me. She had this really blond hair and was extremely pretty even by my standards. Though not even close to you Bella."

My insides had started to turn to ice as she described the girl. There was only one other family like us that I knew had vampire that looked like that. I didn't want to but I had to ask. "Did she by any chance mention her name?"

"Yah." Said Sophi, "It was something like Rose, Roseanne, Rosemund…"

"Rosalie." I said through numb lips.

"That's it." She exclaimed while snapping her fingers, "Rosalie. Rosalie Hale."

Ah ha. It has taken me weeks but I have finally finished this chapter. Sorry the Edward POV is so lame it'll get better I promise. Anyways the whole chocolate story will come into play later so bear with me, I love reviews.

Tata,
