The next morning when Alexis woke up, she groans, dammitt she was going to have to go to the Cullen house to pick up her car. She went to the bathroom, took a shower, got dressed and went downstairs. Once again her mom had already left for school. She went outside to get going to the Cullen house but stops short. Sitting outside her house was her Dodge Challenger. Alexis went into the house to get her spare key to unlock the door. As soon as she opened the door she was hit with Emmett's scent.

Her eyes begin to tear up at his scent, she looks on the dashboard and there's a single red rose and a note, it read

*Baby,*

*I still call you baby, because you always will be my baby. I'm sorry, I am so sorry for what I said. Please believe me I didn't mean it, you hurt me when you said you should have never given your heart to a vamp. And I wanted to make you feel as bad as I felt in that moment. It was stupid and childish.*

*I wasn't with you because I wanted sex, I was with you because I love you with all my heart and soul. You are the only one for me, and I still love you. But I'm sure I've ruined any chances of you ever taking me back. To be honest I rather you kill me than to live without you.*

*I hope someday you can forgive me and we can be together again, but until that time comes know that I will forever love you.*

*Love,

Your Emmett*

Alexis was crying by the time she finished reading the note.

"Then why did you do this to us?" She asks in a whispered tone.

She got out of her car with the rose and note in her hand, going to the garbage she threw them away and walked back into the house. Little did she know, Emmett was in the woods watching. He heard what she had whispered and his dead heart ached, but when she threw the rose and note away, his heart broke in two. His eyes filled with tears that would never fall, turned and left. Probably for good. A few moments later Alexis came running out of the house and took the rose and note out of the garbage. Hugging them to her chest she went back into the house, it was all she had left of him.

Alexis went upstairs to her room, she took out her photo album. She began to flip throught the photo album, looking at all the photos of her and Emmett, of her and the rest of the Cullens. She placed the note into the album and pressed the rose into the album. Closing the album, Alexis put it at the bottom of the box she was packing.

Alexis moped around the house after she finished packing, she sat on the sofa watching movies that she had seen with Emmett and cried. When Liz got home she found Alexis asleep on the sofa, her face tear stained. She sighed, picked her daughter up and carried her to her room. When Liz set her down, she crawled into bed with her.

"Baby, what happened?"

"It's over between Emmett and me."

Alexis went on to explain to her mother what had happened. Elizabeth grew angry at Edward for manipulating Emmett and making him leave. She let her daughter cry into her shoulder until she had no more tears to cry.

Alexis sighs, "I miss Daddy."

"I know you do. Your Daddy would be the perfect person to handle this right now. He'd hunt down Edward and kill him then torture Emmett until he came to his senses and came back to you.

Alexis started laughing through her tears, "He really would do that, wouldn't he."

"Yes, baby, he would do anything to make you happy." Liz says with a chuckle.

"So, when Daddy wakes up, let's not tell him about this, maybe Edward's part but not Emmett's."

"Okay."

They sat there in silence for a while, with Liz running her fingers through her daughter's hair to calm her down. Eventually Alexis looks up at her mother.

"Mom, I think I'm going to head to school now. I packed my stuff into my car, I'm going to call Samantha and tell her I'll meet her at our dorm."

"I think that's a great idea, you need to get a fresh start. Staying here is only going to depress you. Why don't we go over to your Uncle Charlie's and let him know, we can also check up on Bella and see how she is doing."

They head out to the back yard and jump the fence, walking around to the front of the house, they get to the door and ring the bell. A very worried Charlie answers the door.

"Liz, Lexie, come on in." Charlie says as he leads them into the living room. He turns and see the sad expression on his niece's face and envelopes her in a hug.

"Oh, Munchkin, I'm sorry this is happening to you too. How are you holding up?"

"It hurts, Uncle Charlie."

"I know it does, kiddo, but I promise if you let it, thing will get easier. If only I knew where those two boys were, I'd blow a hole in them."

"Charlie, they're vampires, they virtually indestructible."

"Then what would hurt them?" Charlie asks.

"Lycan teeth."

"Too bad Peter isn't awake yet, he's going to be so pissed off when he wakes up." Charlie says.

"I said the same thing earlier. Well, we came over to tell you that Lexie is leaving tomorrow for school, and to check on Bella, how's she doing."

"I'm worried, Lizzy, she's just been sitting in her chair looking out the window with tears streaming down her face." She hasn't eaten or had anything to drink."

Liz puts her hand on Charlies shoulder, "Give her some time, Edward was her first serious boyfriend. She needs time to heal. If things don't improve, we'll see what we can do."

"You're right let's give her some time." Charlie agrees.

"Lexie, why don't you go up and see her, maybe you can help." Liz tells her daughter.

"Right, Mom."

Alexis goes upstair and knocks on Bella's door, she gets no response so she opens the door.

"Bella?"

Upon hearing her cousin's voice, Bella reacts. She gets up from the chair and throws her self into Alexis' arms and begins to sob. Alexis doesn't say anything, she just lets her cousin cry, while silent tears run down her face as well.

"They're gone." Bella says.

"Yeah they are, Bells, but you can't let their leaving destroy you. You're stronger than that."

"But I need Edward."

"No, you don't, you can't make your life about Edward. You have to look out for yourself, do thing for yourself. He isn't your sun and moon.

"But I love him."

"Fine, love him, don't obsess about him." Alexis tells her.

"Aren't you upset that Emmett's gone, didn't you love him?"

"Yes, Bella, of course I'm upset, and I love him very much, but life goes on and I refuse to let his leaving take over my life. I will always love him, he's my mate, but he didn't want this so I have to let him go," She lied. She wasn't about to tell her that this was all Edward's fault.

"You have got to let Edward go too. I know it will take some time, but you have to try. Now I wanted to tell you that tomorrow I'm leaving for school, but if you need me I'll come right back, okay?"

"Okay."

Alexis kisses Bella on the head. "I love you, Bells."

"I love you too, Lexie."

With that Alexis leaves Bella alone and Bella goes back to staring out the window.

When Liz and Alexis get home, she calls up Samantha and tells her that she's going to head on out to school.

"I'm sure Rose told you what happened." Alexis says.

"Yeah she told me, Fuckin' Edward."

"Well Emmett's the idiot for listening to him."

"Yeah he is, are you alright?"

"No, but I will be. Is Rosalie still going to Seattle?"

"Yeah, she'll be staying at the apartment and going to class."

"Good at least your girlfriend loves you enough not to leave you."

"How did you know Rose didn't break up with me too?"

"Because it's not her style to let anyone dictate to her." Lexie tells her best friend.

"Emmett isn't that way either, it's just going to take him a while to realize that." Samantha says.

"Well, let's see if I'm still available if and when he comes back."

"Wait a minute, I thought Lycans mated for life."

"We do, but Emmett and I never mated officially, so the connection isn't as strong as it would have been if we had actually mated." Alexis explains, "Emmett can only sense me when I transform. If we were mated we would sense each other all the time, even over great distances."

"So, then you could actually find someone else, and Emmett would be shit out of luck." Samantha asks.

'Basically, yeah, it's not likely, but it could happen." Alexis explain.

"Well then he better get his act together."

Alexis sighs into the phone, "Don't hold your breath, hey I got to go I'm going out with my mom and Uncle for a farewell dinner, then going to bed early."

"Alright see when I get there."
