I can't thank you enough for reading my story. I am a new writer so I'm a little nervous. Check out my bio for character pics. Here is a new chapter as a thank you. Enjoy!

Chapter 4: What Hurts The Most

I pulled into my drive way and noticed that my brother Emmett's car is parked on the sidewalk. I shot him a text telling him to get his ass outside to help me carry the kids since they were still asleep. I open the car door and careful not to wake them unbuckled their harness. I reached out to grab Masen still waiting for Emmett to come out a grab Libby.

Finally what seemed like a lifetime but in reality it was probably 2 minutes he came out.

"What the hell took you so long?" I whispered to him. I didn't want to risk waking up Masen.

"Relax Bells I was on the crapper. Rosalie made her "famous" shrimp scampi and she should know my now anything that lives in the water gives me the shits. I swear women, with all that shitting I just did I think I lost about 5 pounds." He said rubbing his stomach like he's in pain.

"Yikes, well at least your day was a little bit better then mine." I said as I was putting Masen down in his bed. Emmett did the same with Libby.

We left both doors shut halfway and turned their monitors on so we can hear them when they wake up. I walked to the living room with Emmett trailing behind me. We sat down on the couch and I just stared at the blank screen on the TV thinking about today's events.

"What happened today with Edward? Did he do something to piss you off because I swear he is my best friend, but I'll kick is ass if I have to" He asked me becoming furious.

"He asked Tanya to move in with him." I will not cry, I will not cry.

"Yep, I'm gonna kill him." He said standing up and heading towards the door. Wait was he really gonna go over there?!

"Emmett wait! Sit your ass down! Listen I've come to realize that Edward and I will never happen again. Yes it hurts like hell, yes we share 2 beautiful kids, yes a part of me will always love him. But I have to let him go. Obviously he's moved on, I guess I will have to do the same. I know it's going to be hard but I need to do this." Now I can let the tears falls.

Emmett reached out for me and I just lost it right there. Everything that happened today and last year came flooding in my head. Edward and I separating, Edward moving out, signing the divorce papers, him telling me that he met someone, meeting Tanya for the first time at OUR hangout that WE always go to with OUR friends, being the 7th wheel, now this whole move in situation.

"Shhh Bella, I know this is killing you but like you said it is time for you to move on. You can't let the past dictate your future. It's time for YOU to be happy."

Emmett is right. SHOCKER. It is time for me to be happy. I'm no longer Bella Cullen. I am Bella Swan. Single ready to mingle.
