I sat at the table across from Charlie, he had left me alone after what happened with the Cullen's, jasper had explained what had happened and Charlie thought it was a good idea if I just stayed away from them. Hey I wasn't the one to argue with my grandfather I was going to stay away from them anyway. After Edward and Emmett trying to make me choose between them, I couldn't do it every time I thought about it I ended up in tears. So I decided to stay away from them completely. Not because Charlie told me to stay away but I had to if I wanted to keep my sanity while Jake was gone, though I did find it easy to stay away from Edward.

"Anna, are you listening?" Charlie said making me look up from my breakfast that I had been playing with my cereal for the last five minutes. My stomach was churning every time I tried to eat I felt as if I were going to puke.

"Sorry what did you say?" I asked putting my spoon down and looking up at him. He looked like he hadn't been sleeping properly but I could guess why. I didn't mean to be a burden on him but with Jake gone I couldn't stay with Alice and jasper any longer it didn't feel right.

"You're going to be late do you want a lift?" he asked getting up and taking his coffee cup to the sink. He was wearing his uniform and he was already late after all he did have to wake me up a couple of times. I seemed to only sleep peacefully in the very early hours of the morning.

"Um I'll drive" I said getting up and carrying my bowel to the sink he took it off me and washed it out.

"Okay I won't be home till late tonight so feel free to eat without me." he said messing my hair up as he walked into the living room.

"Okay um do you know what time you'll be home?" I asked following him running my fingers through my hair to fix it up before wrapping my arms around myself everything seemed to be getting colder with every day that went by without Jake.

"I'm not sure will you be okay? You can invite Alicia over if you want" he said shrugging on his jacket and doing it up.

"Yeah I'll be fine don't worry about me." I said smiling he frowned at me.

"Have a good day today bells I'll see you tonight. If you need anything just call okay" he said walking over and pulling me into a bear hug.

I stood at the door as Charlie walked to his cruiser and drove off. I walked back in the house and up the stairs, grabbing my stuff for school and an extra jumper hoping it wouldn't get any colder I walked down the stairs to start my day. I grabbed my car keys I walked out the door locking it I sighed and turned to my car the green beastie sat in the drive way. Charlie insisted I get a proper car instead of driving around in my mum's beat up old truck. So we went out car shopping, that day was awesome Charlie and I laughed and talked about anything and everything. Guess I needed to spend the day with him we were so much alike well that's what mum used to say but spending the day with him really was one of the best days I'd had since Jake left.

Sitting in the driver's seat I remembered when I had started it up for the first time I looked at Charlie and we nodded I had the biggest smile on my face. I was glad I could get the green one, the blue and the white just weren't me. I put my bag beside me and closed the door keeping the cold out. Putting the key into the ignition I smiled as the engine roared to life if this was the good part about my day then I was going to enjoy it.

I turned slowly into school my eyes moved straight to the black Chevrolet impala parked next to the jeep Emmett had started to drive to school. I pulled into an empty park on the other side of the parking lot. I looked over and saw Emmett sitting on the hood of the jeep as Alicia leaned against Heath who was leaning against the Chevy. After what had happened at Charlie's no one had seen Edward I sighed, this was my fault I don't blame Alicia and Heath for hating me. As much for a dick Edward was sometimes I think I'm starting to miss him. I frowned and pushed away any thoughts of him away. I knew I was the cause of it even if Alicia had told me it wasn't I could see it in her eye's I sighed grabbing my bag from the passenger seat next to me and I got out of my car and locked it. I turned around and came face to face with the one man I thought I'd never see again.

"Hey" his voice low and soft. I stared up at his face a small smile was on his face. "I missed you Anna." I slipped past him but he grabbed my arm I turned around to try pull away from him but his grip was tight.

"Don't run from me" he growled pulling me back against him I closed my eyes tight hoping this was one of my nightmares.

"I'm sorry" I whispered "just let me go please" his arms wrapped around me

"I missed you" he said softly into my ear I shivered.

"Let me go James." I said pulling back away from him.

"Hey Anna!" I looked around and saw Heath walking over to me Emmett and Alicia were behind him I looked back at James he was looking over at Heath he had his shoulders squared up ready to fight. I didn't waste time getting away from James I ran into the school passing Alicia as she called out to me but I just kept running I didn't want her to see me scared out of my mind. I stopped as I got inside out of James's sight. I leaned against the wall taking deep breaths trying to stop my head from spinning. Everything came crashing down around me. James was back. Jake was gone. I was alone.
