This chapter is inspired by One and Only by Timbaland and Fall Out Boy, and not just because that is my new ultimate favorite song.

Edward didn't come back that day. He didn't come back the next day, or the day after that.

I didn't have to look after he jumped out the window; I knew he was leaving again. And I went into shutdown mode, just like last time.

Alice came running into Edward's room moments after he left. "Bella, where's Edward? I saw him—" She saw me sitting there alone and her eyes filled with pity. "Oh, Bella,"

I didn't cry. I couldn't make the tears come.

Alice made me go back to Charlie's that very same day. "You have to get your stuff," she said, pulling me out the door. I didn't really put up a fight, following passively as she plunked me in her yellow Porsche and drove me to Charlie's.

I kept my eyes down as we approached the front door. Alice, on the other hand, kept her head up and let her anger show plainly in her tawny eyes.

It took Charlie five minutes to answer the door. Alice was about to rip it off its hinges when he opened it.

"Alice Cullen," he greeted her coldly, refusing to even look at me. "Where's your brother?" he smirked.

"He's not here right now," Alice said icily, and changed the subject. "Bella would like to pack up her remaining possessions.

"I don't have them." Charlie shrugged.

"You don't have them? Where are they?" Alice demanded.

"Storage center. You can ask if they'll give you the key, I doubt if they will though."

Alice was dumbfounded. Her face turned a violent shade of red. "Go to hell, Charlie!" She grabbed my arm and shoved me in the Porsche, where I promptly began to cry.

It has now been seven months since Edward left.

I had taken to staring out the window for long periods of time, waiting for him to come striding back to the mansion in the woods. He never did.

After that day, the day my life ended for the second time, Alice did everything she could to try and cheer me up. But I wouldn't even speak, and I barely ate. All I did was sleep, vomit, and wait for Edward.

Yeah, I know, it's damn short. This chapter is just kind of a filler, like a bridge between five and seven. And I just wanted to make Charlie seem a bit more evil.

I'm loving the response I got from the last chapter. I realize you all are pretty pissed at me, but honestly, I had so much damn fun with all that.

Next chapter will be more exciting, I promise.

Review!
