A/N: Wow these updates are coming out extremely fast now, and I'm afraid that the story is coming to a close. I plan on writing two more chapters and then an epilogue. I'm not sure if I'm going to write a sequel or not.

Thank you once again to all of my readers and reviewers. This story wouldn't have pulled through if it weren't for you.

Disclaimer: Twilight or its characters are not mine, only this strange plot!

BPOV

It had been three days now since Edward's strange outburst. He had made absolutely no attempt to contact me through Carlisle, Emmett, or Jasper's phone. I was starting to get really sad. I missed him so much.

I had tried staying positive, telling myself that they were all fine and would be home sometime over the weekend. But every time someone would offer to do something with me, I turned them down. Alice and Rose had invited me shopping at least three more times. Angela and Jessica had asked me to a movie. That one was a big no. Ang was going with Ben and Jessica would be going with Mike. Yeah, that'll make me feel so much better.

After four days had gone by, my sadness morphed into frustration. I was easily irritated and wasn't really in the mood to do anything. Charlie had been bringing home pizzas now, since I had stopped cooking and cleaning. I was running out of clothes fast, and almost agreed to another one of Alice and Rose's shopping trips. But then I remembered that Edward was close to them, and I would push them away.

By the sixth day Edward was gone, my frustration turned into anger. I would snap and yell at people when they would ask me for something. As soon as I got home, I would shut myself in my room, listening to Linkin Park in my CD player as high as it would go. Surprisingly, it was rather soothing to hear the harsh tones and screaming voices of Bleed It Out.

I had tried writing my anger out. I had picked up a pad of paper and actually intended to write a journal entry. Instead I started to vent, yelling and knocking things over. By the time I was done with my rampage, my CD player lay on the floor, my hamper had been knocked over so clothes were everywhere. The comforter was thrown off of my mattress, and the curtains in front of my window were hanging on by threads.

Some of the things I had been yelling, weren't exactly very nice either.

"How the hell could he tell me he loved me, then just pick up and go camping the very next day? There is no way he would do that without telling me where he was going! Dammit I know that you can hear me Edward! And when you get back you are in so much trouble!" When I thought I was finished with my rampage, I felt completely insane. Not only for yelling at thin air like it was Edward, but for being so gullible. Esme, Rose, and Alice had to be covering for him. I had my mind set. If Edward didn't give me a call by the end of tonight, I was going to the hospital tomorrow. If Esme was lying to me, the one way to find out was to go to the hospital and see if Carlisle was there.

XxXxXxXx

It was now Saturday. It was around 10:30 in the morning. I figured that was the earliest that was politely possible to go barging into a hospital. Charlie was out of the house by the time I was even up. Another fishing trip with Billy.

I pulled into the parking lot of the hospital, turned the car off, and sat for a few minutes to think. Was I really about to do this? Was I really going to go searching for Carlisle, convinced that the whole Cullen family was lying to me? I had no choice. It was awful to have doubt in Edward or any of them. But there was just something wrong with this picture.

I got out of the car and walked into the building. It was cold and smelt strongly of cleaning products. I approached the front desk cautiously. The woman sitting behind it was very pretty. She had short brunette hair, and small, almond shaped, brown eyes. She looked to be in about her mid twenties. She wore thick framed read glasses and a nurses uniform.

"Hi welcome to Forks hospital. Can I help you with something?" Her voice was incredibly high-pitched and very perky. She reminded me of Alice.

"Yes actually. I was wondering if Dr. Carlisle Cullen was working today?" I tried to keep the suspicion out of my voice.

"Well yes as a matter of fact he is. I believe he's with a patient right now, but he should be taking his break soon. His office is right around the corner. I'll let him know that you're looking for him. Can I have your name please?" I was turning away as she asked me this, and was not expecting to be asked for my name. Thinking quickly, I made up a name.

"S- Skye. Skye Turner." She nodded her head and picked up a pager. I turned and started to walk towards where she said Carlisle's office was. I half expected her to call me back asking for more information.

I opened the office door and went to stand in the corner. I felt foolish trying to hide, but had the feeling that if Carlisle saw me, he'd turn right around.

I had been waiting for about ten minutes when I heard the sound of laughter and shuffling feet. I tried to squeeze myself farther into the corner but ended up twisting my ankle and fell right as Carlisle opened the door. He shut it quickly and ran over to help me up.

After I was back on my feet, Carlisle took the time to see who I was.

"Skye Turner huh Bella?" He sounded amused. I decided to play along.

"Hey, I've always liked the name Skye and Turner just seemed to sound right." He laughed and walked around to sit at his desk.

"I suppose you're looking fr Edward?" He got straight to the point, and didn't waste any time.

"Yes Carlisle, I am. I know it's awful for me to come here and weasel answers out of you, but I need the truth. I can obviously see that you guys aren't camping." He chuckled and stood up yet again.

"Well Bella, you came to the right place. Unfortunately, I am a terrible liar so I'll just take you straight to Edward." He led the way out of the office and I was truly confused. Was Edward here then?

A short while later, we had stopped outside one of the patient rooms with the blinds folded shut.

"I'll leave you two alone. Please tell Edward I'm sorry for not keeping his secret." I looked up at him and nodded. When he was out of sight, I faced the door.

I didn't even knock . I just quickly turned the knob and forced myself inside. Once I was in, I shut and locked the door expecting to find Edward lying down or in his wheel chair. I was way off.

Edward was standing in front of a water dispenser, getting himself something to drink. Standing!

"Edward." I mumbled. I was in shock and couldn't find any words to say. When he heard me, he turned abruptly and looked me in the eyes. A second or a year may have passed, but either way didn't matter.

I couldn't find anything to say. My legs were like lead, glued to the floor leaving me unable to move. Edward however was moving just fine. He ran the distance of the room at an amazing speed, and before I knew it, I was in his warm and loving embrace. I closed my eyes, and tears spilled out of the corners.

"Edward I missed you so much." All anger and frustration had left me. Just gratefulness remained. For being in his arms. For him being able to walk. For having him back. For everything.

He pulled away and there were tears streaking down both of our faces. He leaned in and kissed me gently, then led me over to the bed. We sat down, and he began his long explanation of his disappearance.

Did you guys like it? I've had a few guesses as to why Edward had to leave, and two of them were very good! You'll understand why he left in the next chapter. It will most likely be in EPOV most of the time.

Peace, Love, and much writing,
