After leaving Hayley's house I was off to Portland. I needed to see where my family was. I just wanted to check on them.

I had reached Portland in just a few minutes. It wasn't that far from Seattle. I knew I was going to find the house that my family lived in, but I didn't really know where they lived. I needed to find a phone book. But where I could I find one?

I stopped at a gas station that was just on the inside of town. After filling up my car with more gas, I walked inside the crummy gas station that smelling cigarette smoke and stale candy. The man at the counter looked like he was about sixty. His name tag said, Curtis.

"What can do for you, ma'am," he asked.

"I was wondering if you had a phone book," I said smiling. "I'm not from here I was trying to find someone."

"Of course we do," Curtis said. He smiled and I could see that his ten teeth probably hadn't been brushed in a while.

He pulled a large phone book from the counter behind him and sat it in front of me. It didn't take long for me to find my dad's name, phone number, and address. He was living at 3201 Hale Avenue. I closed the phone book and handed it back to the old man.

"Can I get you anything else, beautiful?"

"No," I replied. "Thank you for letting me use the phone book."

"You're welcome and make sure you come back if you need anything else." He smiled and winked at me.

I left the dirty gas station and got back in my car to punch in the address in my GPS. Once I started driving, it began giving me directions until I was on Hale Avenue and then I found the house—3201 Hale Avenue. I parked across the street so I could look at it from a distance.

It was a nice two story, beige house, with green shutters. There were two cars parked outside the garage. I recognized one as mom's and one as my dad's. They must really live here. A red corvette with other girls inside pulled up outside the house and honked. A few seconds later a young girl walked out of the house—Stella. I calculated in my head, she was fifteen now. She looked so much like me. You couldn't deny that we were sisters. I looked back at the house. There was a woman waving out the window at Stella—mom. I saw Stella wave back at mom and then the corvette sped off. Now all I need to see was dad and I would be happy. I waited a few more minutes and I saw mom and dad walk out the house and lock the door. They looked like both of them were dressed up for something. They both got into dad's car and drove off to where they were going.

That's all I needed—I just wanted to make sure that everyone was okay. Now it was time for me to go home…back to the Cullen house.

~.~.~.~.~

I was driving back to Forks. It was almost five o'clock. I hope the Cullens aren't too worried about me. Maybe I should call them. No; I still needed more time alone.

I needed to think about all that had happened today. I was able to see my family. Mom and dad looked happy together. They looked happier than they had when we were all living together as a family in Portland and I was there with them. Stella looked happy with her friends. It was good to see that she was getting over what happened with me and moving on. It was weird to think that in one more year, she would be the same age as me. Stella would be turning sixteen and they would probably throw her a party and give her a car. I wondered if they kept my car that had been given to me on my birthday. It was probably in the garage waiting to be given to Stella.

It was good to be able to talk to Hayley and find out about what had happened after that night with everyone. I had learned from Hayley that Alex was a police officer and his mom had died a couple a years after Adam had left. It was sad how Adam would never get to see his mom again and he would never know what happened to her. Hayley had finally gotten what she wanted all those years ago. I remembered her saying how much she wanted to date Alex and now her dream had come true. Hayley and Alex were going to be getting married in June. The human Bree was invited but not the new vampire Bree. It was so sad how Alex would never see his brother again. Alex never showed much emotion, but when Hayley said my name I could see the hurt in his eyes.

So much had changed with everyone since the night Adam had I had left. Our families and friends had changed but so did we. I was the only one that knew how much we had changed…
