Whoa, baby, that was a BIG response. Cliff hangers are very helpful, whether anyone likes them or not. Here's another chapter!

Chapter 14

Edward's POV

Since I had left Bella, I had completely given up trying to read people's minds. It just seemed pointless, because I knew exactly what my family thought. Carlisle and Esme were concerned, and worried. Rosalie was uninterested, but worried. And Alice, Jasper, and Emmett were scared, hurting, and depressed. I could see it in their face when they thought I wasn't looking. But I couldn't get away from the guilt I put myself through. It was always, and would always be there. So listening to my family's thoughts really didn't help me. But now, I needed some information.

Standing there, right in front of me, was the exact reason for my miserable existence. The only reason I hadn't gone to the Volturi to beg for them to kill me. Knowing that she was out there, living a much needed life without myself or my family. She still looked the same as when I had left. The same thoughtful brown eyes and small delicateness that I loved. I loved every part of her.

But what disturbed me the most was that her eyes held no recognition. They didn't light up when she saw me, or crinkle at the ends when she smiled that knowing smile that I loved so much. They reminded me of the way they were when she first saw me. I saw the same widening of the eyes when she assessed me, but there was a look of knowledge there, as well, like she had already seen me. But of course she had seen me before. She was mi- of course she wasn't mine. What was I thinking? She didn't belong to me. She was trying to have her own life, I thought. What was going on?

I quickly searched through my family's mind, and paused when I came to Alice's.

We didn't want to alert you suddenly Edward. She was in a car accident.

My fist curled into balls. But she looked fine.

It appears that she procured amnesia. She can't remember anything about us. About any of us. About you.

I'm sure Alice had not meant for that last part to slip out, but I was already gone. I fell to the floor gasping, "What have you done?" It came out louder than I had expected, but I didn't care. Why couldn't have Alice had left her alone? We could've moved before she remembered anything. Why was Bella able to forget? No, she needs to forget. No longer could I look into her eyes, and see the memories. She no longer remembered, and I was left standing where no where knew.

I felt Esme's arms wrap around me and Carlisle's hand on my head. After a while, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett were standing around me, hovering around the most insecure person in the room.

"Alice?"

And then I heard her voice, and all I had held in came out. Her voice brought a wave of things I barely recognized.

"I know his voice."

I felt Alice whimper next to me, and stand up to walk over to Bella.

"Really? What do know about it?" Alice's voice was wavering between fear and hopefulness.

"Yes. I hear in my dreams every night."

I froze, and heard Carlisle say, "Let's go into the living room."

This is short, I know, and I'm super sorry. I have a TON of homework and projects, so I'll update it soon with a longer chapter. Reviews are LOVE!
