4. Realization

Jasper: C'mon! You both keep getting to say the disclaimer! It's my turn!

Alice: No Jazz it's my turn!

Emmett: Alice you wish! It's MY turn!

Jasper: Mine!

Alice: MINE!

Emmett: MINE!

Edward: *Jasper, Alice, and Emmett are arguing in the background* All of the Twilight characters belong to Stephenie Meyer. There. It's been said! Gosh! *walks away*

Emmett, Jasper, and Alice: Awe man! Not fair!

Jasper: Oh wait! Amanda and Andrew belong to Team Cullen-Hale! Ha ha h-ALICE! *Emmett tackles him*

Emmett's POV

Andrew held up a crumpled up piece of paper. Jasper ripped the piece of paper out of his hand and unfolded it. He read it over once and then let it fall out of his hand. I quickly reached over and picked it up and read it over several times, trying to make sense of it.

The note read:

Dear family,

Amanda, Rosalie, Bella, and I are leaving. For good. We are tiered of some of you and want nothing to do with you. Don't come looking for us. We don't want you to find us. Leave us alone. We never want to see you again.

Sincerely,

Alice, Amanda, Rosalie, and Bella.

I felt like I could cry, but I knew that there would be no tears, that all I would be able to do is sob tearlessly. I watched as Jasper disappeared up to his room and as Edward collapsed onto the floor and started to sob.

I turned back and looked into Andrew's pained expression. He stared at me and I could tell just by the look on his face of how important Amanda was to him. I coughed up a sob and threw myself at Andrew, and somehow he was able to catch me.

After about ten minutes of sobbing in various spots of the living room; first with Andrew, then beside Edward on the floor, then I somehow made it to the middle of the floor and I curled up into the fetal position on the floor and sobbed some more there, and then I crawled onto the couch and cried there. I finally stopped sobbing and stared at Andrew who hadn't moved an inch. Edward had collapsed into a heap on the floor and was staring at his wallet which held a picture of Bella. I listened and heard Jasper's sobs from upstairs. I couldn't take it anymore, and I took the note and went to my room.

Jasper's POV *Two Weeks Later*

I sat on my bed and stared at a picture of the love of my life, who didn't love me anymore. I sighed and put it down and listened for the noises that came from my house. Carlisle and Esme had taken Jake and Nessie out for a couple of weeks so that Edward would be calm enough to tell Nessie about Bella. I could hear Edward sobbing from his cabin and Andrew in his room next to mine crying. Emmett was the loudest though because, well, it's Emmett. I got up and walked over to Emmett's room and knocked on the door.

"Its-its- its open." Emmett managed to say. I opened the door and stood in the doorway. Emmett held the note that Andrew had found, a picture of Rosalie, and a birthday card Alice had given him. I looked him over and then noticed something very strange…

"Emmett what are you wearing?!?!" I yelled. I'm guessing that Andrew and Edward heard me because before Emmett could answer, they stood on either side of me.

"Is that Amanda's bra!?! Emmett!!" Andrew yelled.

"Oh my God!! Emmett! Why? Why Bella's thong?!" Edward yelled.

Thank god the thong and bra were over his clothes.

Emmett sniffled and sat upright on his bed. "I-I-I…I MISS THEM SO MUCH!" he yelled and began to sob. Andrew was sitting next to him in a flash, also crying. I heard a choked sob come from my right. I looked at Edward and he collapsed and I caught him before he hit the ground and dragged him to the bed.

We sat there for hours sobbing until it hurt. We finally stopped and sat in a circle on the bed. In the middle of the circle sat Bella's thong, Amanda's bra, a picture of Rosalie, a birthday card from Alice, and the note. Everything was quiet.

"OH MY GOD!" Emmett yelled and jumped up. Edward, Andrew, and I jumped at Emmett's sudden outburst.

"I can't believe we never NOTICED!!!!" Emmett continued to yell.

"What are you talking about Emmett?" Andrew said. I could hear his British accent coming out. It only came out when he was nervous or excited and stuff (says Amanda) just like my southern accent.

"The note!! Alice didn't write it!!" Emmett yelled out, a wide and happy smile plastered across his face.

"What do you mean Alice didn't write it?" I said.

"It's not her writing!" Emmett exclaimed.

"How can you be so sure?" Edward asked. I'm surprised he didn't just read his mind like he does to everyone else.

"Look at the note and then look at the birthday card!" Emmett said and shoved the note and card into our hands. I held it up and realization spread over my face.

"MY HONEYBUNCHES OF LOVE DIDN'T WRITE THIS!" I exclaimed.

We all began to jump around laughing and shouting until good ol' eddiekins had to go and be all serious.

"If Alice didn't write this, that means someone else did. And whoever did, doesn't want us to find them." Edward said.

"Who would do this?" Andrew asked flopping onto the bed.

"Lemme see the note again." I said and took the note from Andrew.

I looked it over. I recognized the writing, but from where? Then it hit me.

"I should have known! Jazz you idiot you should have known!" I said hitting myself in the head.

"Okay Jazz, we all know you're an idiot, but please do explain." Edward said.

I glared at him but continued. "I know this writing! Its-its- its Maria's." I said and Edward's mouth dropped.

"Dun dun dun duuuuun!" Emmett said and we all turned and glared.
