My hits almost doubled with just one chapter! I'm so happy :) This is the chapter that is going to be hardest to write, both emotionally and in the literal sense! I'm running dry on ideas, and Edward and Bella aren't together! Well, they are together as a couple, but Bella has left! It's hard! If it doesn't turn out how I had hoped, I'll make the next chapter super amazing!

Oh yeah, I've had a lot of stick before for saying 'mum' instead of 'mom'. I'm sorry, but I'm British, so I'll put mum. If it really bugs you I'll change it, but for now...mum.

Alice

We sat at the dining room table, for the first time in a long time. Esme and I sat either side of Edward, as if holding him up. I saw the same look in his eyes that I'd seen time and time again when we left last year. All he had on his mind was Bella, Bella and Bella. His decisions kept changing. One minute he almost felt like going back to Italy, but he'd obviously seen the wrong. Then he'd decided to find Bella, and then he changed his mind. For the last half an hour, he hadn't made any decisions at all. I wasn't sure if I was worried or not.

Edward

Bella. My Bella. The way her breathing jumps when I touch her. The way her eyes light up, or her brows furrow at a thought silent to me. The way that she clutched closely to me when she used to think we only had hours left. Bella...

Bella

I waited patiently for her to find her keys. I could hear them jangling on the other side of her door. My eyes wandered through the brown contacts over the house in front of me. The walls had been bleached white, with pale blue shutters. Even her smell was radiating from the whole place. It was comforting. Suddenly the door swung open, and there she was. My mum... Her blonde hair was pulled back into a lazy bun, held in place with a pink flower clip. She was wearing a light blue poncho and a white skirt. Her eyes were wide open as she drank in the image before her. Me, with no suitcase, just a small carrier bag with my ruined shoes in from running so far.

"Bella?" she asked her voice stunned.

"Hi mum. It's me." I whispered.

Jasper

I watched Alice closely as her eyes rolled back.

"She's gone to Florida...she's with Renee." She said. Edwards groaned loudly as Emmett held his head in his hands. Oh no! I didn't feel calm enough myself to help anyone else. We stayed in silence, as we waited for a decision. We all looked to Carlisle. He had his eyes closed as he concentrated.

"I think...that we leave Bella alone for the meantime. We'll give it until the winter comes in Florida. Then Alice and Emmett go out there to persuade her to come home. If she is reluctant we send Edward in to explain everything. If she agrees he will take over from Alice and take her to Isle Esme again to relax. In about a year's time, she'll feel ready to come back to us." We all nodded in agreement. Apart from Edward, who swiftly stood up to leave.

"I think I'll go for a walk." He murmured. Alice rolled back her eyes, and then nodded.

"Let him go." She said. Slowly, he opened the glass door and stepped out into the cold, bitter air.

Renee

I sat Bella down at the kitchen table. Taking out two glasses I poured us a glass of lemonade each, and then sat down to talk.

"Tell me everything! Why are you here so suddenly? Would it hurt you so much to phone once in a while? Oh Phil will be so pleased to see you! How long do you plan on staying? Oh gosh, I'd better get some fresh bed sheets out of the laundry room for you. I'm so pleased you're here, I've missed you so much!" I bumbled, so excited to have my girl here. Bella just looked down. I paused to take a long gulp of lemonade. The Florida heat dehydrated every living thing within minutes. Bella did the same, but pulled a face and set the glass down in disgust. I felt slightly perplexed, but I guessed I did like my lemonade more sour than most people.

"Mum..." she started. I interrupted her.

"I'm so sorry Bella, where are my manners?" I giggled. "How is Edward?" Bella bent in half, clutching her waist, as if in pain. Her face scrunched up and her chest heaved in and out like she was sobbing. No tears escaped her eyes.

"Mum...I've lied to you. We're not who you think we are. I'm not who I used to be." She whispered. I rushed to her side, pulling her close. I leapt away at the coldness of her skin. Only then did I notice her eyes. Not the same chocolate brown. Her skin was flawless, her wispy hair thick and vibrant. She was beautiful, yet hideous to me and the same time.

"Oh Bella. What's happened to you?!" I pulled her in closely, ignoring the cold. I clutched my baby girl to me.

Emmett

"NO!" Alice screamed. I looked at her. She lifted her head from the mountain lion she had been drinking from. As our eyes met, the message was clear. I dropped my bear as we sprinted back to the house.

Well, what do you think? This has sort of developed from just Renesmee's death to all sorts of things. Being Renee was fun. I was acting all 'flappy' to prepare for this scene. I had to cut loads of it out, so when I've finished Eternity's Rose, I might put it in as an 'out-take' kind of thing. It was the best thing I've ever written but it was just too rambling :(

Reviews please...because you love me.....
