Well, it appears that I'm not going to get those 15 reviews, which does disappoint me. But I decided to reward those of you who did review with another chapter! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Hah, I think I've kinda forgotten to do one these, so yeah I don't want people to think I'm SM, as much as I'd LOVE to be her and have her brilliance.

Oh, and I don't own any of the Cullens or characters. If I did, I wouldn't be writing FF, I'd be...ahem...enjoying some time with the Cullen men. (;

APOV:

"Anything," he answered.

"Well, I just saw Bella, and she's not doing very well," I explained. I told him everything that had happened, and his expression became sad and sympathetic. "She feels that the only way for her to make it through all of this and be happy is to become one of us." I paused, scrutinizing his expression, which was indecisive.

"How could this life make her happy?" he questioned.

"She could be with someone she loves, which is Edward, and -"

"Edward is married; he can't just leave his wife," Carlisle interrupted me.

Once again, I explained Bella's reasoning. I could see understanding spread over his face. "Well, it does make sense, and I see her point, but I hate doing this to someone with potential, someone that has a life worth living!" He shook his head, torn.

"I know, but this is different. Bella's empty without Edward or Jacob, and to be honest, I'm not sure how long she'll last like this. She doesn't feel like she has anything or anyone else in her life that could make it complete. She may be physically healthy, but emotionally, she is dying. I know this would help her," I persuaded him. I knew it was going to work.

"I see. I'm guessing that you would like me to do the deed?" My father chuckled lightly.

I nodded and giggled along with him, "Yes, sir!"

As we went downstairs, Edward was just about to leave to go hunt. We made sure we blocked our minds as he stalked silently out of the living room. He must have been really furious because he didn't even try to figure out why we were blocking our minds from him.

My father and I ran back to Bella's house. Just like Edward used to do, we scaled the wall and slid through her open window. We were met by a startled, pajama-wearing Bella. But the shock wore off quickly once she saw Carlisle. She looked like she had just won the lottery. Actually, to her, becoming a vampire was probably better than any amount of money.

Before she could speak, I instructed her, "Bella, there is no time for celebrations. You have to tell Charlie you're leaving. I don't care what you say, but there is no way you can be around him for a while after this. "

I could tell by the look on her face that she had forgotten about Charlie. A tear rolled down her panic-stricken face; I knew she really loved her father. I gently wiped the tear from her face, and told her that she may be able to see him again someday. All she did was nod and leave her room.

I heard her pace down the steps as she took a deep breath. Meanwhile, Carlisle and I packed all of her belongings. Oh how this girl needed a new wardrobe! I mentally scheduled a trip to the mall.

"Charlie, I just can't do this anymore!" I heard Bella holler.

"Bells, what are you talking about?" Charlie asked, clearly confused.

"I can't be stuck in Forks; I need to get away from everyone and everything here," she cried.

"What's wrong with Forks? You've never had a problem with it til now. Did something happen?"

"I don't want to be stuck like Mom was. I want to have some excitement in my life," she said.

"Bells, since when have you cared about having a fun-filled life? You used to turn down invitations to parties to stay home and study. You've had plenty of opportunities to have fun. If it's me, I can change. Just please, Bells, don't go," Charlie pleaded.

Bella's eyes sprung with tears as she finalized her argument, "No, Charlie, I'm leaving. I'm not sure where I'm going, or if I'll even call. Don't expect anything."

Charlie's eyes became glassy as he stared at the hardwood floor.

"Dad, you know I'll always love you, I just don't want to be stuck in Forks. This isn't the life for me," she comforted him.

"I know Bells, I love you too. I guess Forks isn't the most ideal place for a teenager to live," he said .

"Exactly. I'm going to go get my bags" she replied.

"Okay," he said. He tried one more time, "I'm going to miss you kid; I really wish you wouldn't go." He ruffled her hair as another tear fell from her eye.

"I know, I'll miss you too. But I need to leave. I really hope I can explain later because I can't now," she sighed sadly as she began to walk up the steps.

Before Charlie could ask any further questions, Bella came back upstairs and grabbed her bags. Carlisle and I gave her silent hugs as we told her where she needed to meet us. We hopped out the window as Bella left to say her goodbyes to her father.

BPOV:

Next to leaving Edward, it was the most difficult thing I had ever had to do. I loved my father dearly, and having to lie to him and hurt him like that was torture. The look on his face was going to haunt me forever. I wished I could tell him the truth, so he could understand and not feel so rejected, but I couldn't. I silently prayed that I would be able to see Charlie again.

"Goodbye Dad, I love you, and you're the best father anyone could ever have," I choked, blinking back tears.

Charlie gave me a hug and said, "Goodbye Bells, I love you too. I'm really going to miss you." A tear fell from his left eye. I'd never seen my dad so emotional. Normally, he was awkward when he let out his true feelings, but this must have really affected him.

I returned the hug and grabbed my bags. I walked out the door without looking back at my former home, knowing that if I did, I would just run back inside. I got in my antique red truck and drove to the remote spot that Alice had directed me to. Being in the car gave me an ample amount of time to think. I let the tears drain freely from my eyes. Yet, I was excited. In three days, I would be the creature I had longed to be. I would be eternally youthful, and I could wait for Edward. My life would be complete. A small voice in my head, one which I had never heard, screamed his name. Jacob! It cried. What about Jacob?!

More tears began to flow as I remembered my other love. Would he even speak to me after this? How could I explain this to him if he did want to talk to me. I pondered these thoughts the whole way. Finally, I saw Alice's and Carlisle's pale complexions glowing in the moonlight. I parked my truck and stepped out into the deserted, grassy area and walked over to them.

"Bella, this is going to be absolutely, unbearably painful, but if this is what you want..." Carlisle began to admonish.

"Yes, this is exactly what I want," I replied firmly.

"Okay then, I guess we should get to this as quickly as possible. Please lie down," he instructed me. Alice gave me a reassuring hug and squeezed my hand as I followed Carlisle's instructions. "Just close your eyes, and don't think about what I'm doing. In other words, just go to your happy place," he continued.

In that moment, I thought of Edward. I imagined being in his marble, ice-cold arms and looking into his ochre eyes. His eyes were impossibly perfect as they bore into mine. I stretched up to meet his lips with mine, and I felt his cool mouth kiss me. His sweet breath was intoxicating. In my fantasy world, Edward had no limits. He didn't have to hold back; he could kiss me as passionately, and as long as he wished. And that's exactly what he did. I dreamt and dreamt of this when I suddenly heard the crackling of a fire. I pulled away and looked and saw the bright, dancing flames of a fire. At first, I only saw it, but then, I felt the flames engulf me.
