*Zoey's P.O.V*

Her name was Isabella Swan, she just moved to Forks to live with her father, the police chief. She was from Phoenix, Arizona, and she drove my father insane.

"I need to leave for a few days," I heard my dad packing up clothes into a bag.

"Why?" Carlisle asked. He just got home from the hospital and everyone updated him on what was going on. Rosalie made me stay away from my dad since he was blood thirsty. I knew he wouldn't hurt me but I also knew sometimes vampires were unpredictable.

"Her blood." my dad snarled, "It is driving me insane. I was so close to just sinking my teeth into her today. I need to get away before I put her and our family in harm." He was storming down the stairs and Carlisle followed.

"Where are, you going?" Esme asked, she hated when one of her children left home, even if it was for a day.

"I am going to go Denali to stay with our family up there." Edward replied.

"Son please, let's just talk this over." Carlisle tried to calm him down but Edward was to mad to listen. He stormed out of the house and got in his car. Before I knew it he was pulling away, without even saying goodbye.

I couldn't help but feel sad. This is the first time since I was reunited with my father that we were actually going to be apart for a while. I could feel tears filling up into my eyes as I excused myself to my bedroom. I laid on my bed as I broke into a sob. I didn't like the feeling of him leaving, I didn't like knowing when I would see him again. I also didn't like not being able to try to talk to him about this, he just left all of us out of the loop and I hated trying to read his minds to figure out what he was thinking. I heard a knock on my door and I sat up to see Alice walking in.

"He'll be back in less than a week, he just needs some time to regroup himself. Your father hasn't had the urge to drink human blood in a long time." Alice said softly as she sat next to me on the bed. I wiped my tears away and looked at her.

"He didn't say goodbye. He just left." my voice was weak, I felt like he abandoned me. Alice pulled me into a hug and I let her hold me while I cried a little more. I felt so silly crying over this, but I just haven't felt alone in a long time.

"Zoey, I promise you that your father is about to become a new man, and you're going to be happy for him." She gave a reassuring smile and I nodded. "Tell me about your day?"

I looked at her and laughed, "my day?" She nodded. "Well it was good, classes were boring and pointless like always and I sort of met a boy." I looked down at my hands.

"You met a boy!" She shouted, "What is his nam-" I threw my hand over her mouth.

"Hush Alice, we live in a house of vampires. I don't want anyone to know." I whispered.

She smiled and looked at me, "Honey, you can never hide anything from a vampire."

"That's right," I looked up to see Rosalie standing by the door. "So, you met a boy?" I didn't say anything, I didn't want Rose upset with me like she was with my dad. "So?" She asked one more time, and I nodded. She walked over and sat on the other side of me. "Well tell us about him?"

I looked at her with a little shock, but proceeded to tell them both about the cute boy from math class. "His name is Carter, he is on the basketball team, and he is a junior. That's all I know." Alice was beaming at me, and Rose was surprisingly smiling at me. "Please say something, either of you." I looked back and forth between them.

"I had him in my chemistry class last semester," Alice said, "He is a nice boy. I approve." I looked at Rosalie.

"Well even though he is a human, I would rather my favorite niece date someone with a heartbeat than someone with a craving for blood. So, I approve too." I threw my arms around her neck.

"Are you serious?" I asked them both, "You guys just threw a fit over my dad's choice in girls."

"This is different, you're part human. You need to be with someone who isn't going to drink your blood. If you keep our family's secret a secret, then we will be fine." Rose looked at me, and I hugged her again. I was so happy that they approved of something. I just wish I could have talked my dad about this too.

"What are we approving of?" Emmett was standing in the doorway with his arms crossed in front of him.

"Just the fact that Zoey here has a crush on a junior boy." Alice sang, as she stood up to exit the room.

"A crush?" Emmett's mouth dropped, "No way, not happening. She is not allowed to date remember. Not till she is eighteen."

"She is eighty-six love." Rose said walking over to him.

"Well until she looks like she is eighteen." he stated.

"I stopped growing over like three decades ago." I pointed out.

"Well then I guess you aren't ever allowed to date." He winked at me and I threw a pillow at him. He caught it and threw it back.

"Stupid vampire reflexes." I mumbled when Rose and Emmett walked down stairs to give me some alone time. I heard Emmett chuckle and I smiled. As much as they drive me crazy. I sure do love my family.

I got ready for bed, and turned the lights off. I laid there in darkness for a little. It was so different not having my dad here to say goodnight. I reached for my blackberry. I scrolled through my contacts till I found his name. I clicked his number and texted him.

To: Dad

Hey dad, hope you made it safely. I just want to let you know I miss you already and can't wait for you to come home.

xoxo Zoey

I laid there in silence for a few minutes then my phone buzzed underneath my hand. I opened the text.

From: Dad

Just made it. I miss you too. Be good for everyone and I will see you soon.

Love, Dad

I smiled at the message and put my phone on the table next to my bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.
