Thank you Columbus Day! I wouldn't have gotten this chapter, or the last chapter from "Forgetting the Past" up yet.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. The only character from this story that I own is Shane, and he left for a little while….

Previously: " I have to know for sure." Was all Jane said as she ran out the door.

Bella's POV

We were all really worried about Jane. Okay, I take that back. I was pretty worried about Jane. Everyone else was only worried about Shane.

Sometime's the Cullen's would almost seem happy when I mentioned Jane left, but they tried not to show it. I tried reading their minds, but they kept blocking me out by thinking random things.

Even Carlisle.

Why would they do this? They were definitely hiding something, and I wanted to know what it was. So during the time that Jane was gone, and I had nothing else to do, I decided to call a family meeting.

Jane's POV

This was bad. No this was more than bad. This was ripping me apart piece by tiny piece.

How could he not remember? We had so many good times together. It pained me to think that he wouldn't remember anything of what had happened between us. I would never be able to move on from him, but he didn't remember me, so would he be able to move on?

I had so many questions, some of which I didn't even want to know the answer of. But I had to go find it. I needed the answers.

I hoped with all my heart that he would at least act the same, and like the same things. If that was the case, I knew exactly where he would be. But I had my doubts…

I ran to the closest beach I could find. Knowing that if he liked the same things, he would be here.

Shane always loved the beach. I began to love them because of him. We would walk down the beach together every Sunday night we were together. Holding hands, just like in the movies. We would talk about everything. Between his life before meeting me, my life before meeting him, being a vampire, being a human, and all of those complications, we never ran out of stuff to say. Even if we did, we would walk in silence. A very comfortable silence at that…

The beach I found was very much like the one I would go to with Shane. Perfect. Maybe he really would be here. I hoped so.

I searched the entire beach, hoping to find some trace of him.

Nothing.

He wasn't here. As soon as that registered in my mind, I had practically given up hope.

I didn't know where he was, why he left me, or if he would ever love me like he used to. I knew there was no use in trying anymore. If we were really meant to be fate would bring us together.

Bella's POV

"Okay. Start explaining." I said. They all knew what I was talking about, and they were all completely uncomfortable with talking about it.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Emmett said, trying to sound convincing. It didn't work.

Rosalie kicked him under the table. "Yeah you do, Emmett." She said as he mouthed "OW"

Well, as Rose just admitted, you know what I'm talking about. And Emmett, if you really want to be the tough guy, you will be the one to explain it." I said getting aggravated.

"What's to explain?" He asked innocently. "We haven't been acting weird at all." He was acting as if he were in court.

"I never said you were Emmett." I said rolling my eyes. Emmett wasn't going to help me at all. "Whatever you guys have against Jane, I want to know right now." I demanded.

"Look, Bella, I can honestly say we have absolutely nothing against Jane." Carlisle said calmly.

"Then do you have something wrong with me?" I asked pained.

"Of course not! Bella why would you even think that?" Esme said worried.

"Maybe because for the first time in close to thirty years I see my best friend, and instead of being friendly, and helpful, you guys are almost completely ignoring her. And me too when I'm around her! And you all keep blocking your minds so I can't see what you're thinking, and whenever I mention Jane leaving, you guys seem to get happy! It makes no sense!" I tried very hard not to yell but I did anyway… the Cullen's had never treated me this way before. Except for Edward when he first met me and was trying to resist my blood. But that was different.

Now, something I was absolutely not expecting happened. Alice started dry sobbing. Hard. "That's why we've been acting weird Bella! What you just said! Your best friend is back, and even though it had been almost thirty years, you still consider her your best friend. it's like she comes back, and we're suddenly replaced. I don't want that to happen! None of us do! We never want to be replaced, because we love you! But so suddenly you will do things with her that you won't do with us, and pretty soon you're going to like her better, and then you are going to forget all about us!" She started yelling. I almost couldn't understand the words towards the end, because she was dry sobbing so hard.

As I looked around, I noticed Esme was dry sobbing too. Jasper, Carlisle, and Emmett were all looking into their laps, their expressions sad. Rosalie's expression was also pained. Not like the others, but it still had sadness locked inside. And Edwards. My poor, poor Edward. His expression was more like agony than anything else.

They were all expecting me to leave them for Jane.

Wooowwwww. Wonder what's gonna happen… Just kidding! I already know! Hehe! But you don't, and I'm sure you want to, so review and I'll update as soon as possible.
