Panic. That was the best word to describe how Angela, Jess, and I were feeling right now. Bella was supposed to have met up with us and hour and a half ago at the Italian restaurant but she never showed up. Each of us had tried to reach her like 15 times each it seemed like but no answer! I even tried to reach my brother knowing that he was following her but he didn't answer his phone either! This was bad! Like on a scale of 1 to 10 this was a 20!

"Okay that's it we need to go look for her!" I stated as I stood up from our table at the Italian restaurant. Angela, Jess, and I had decided to go ahead and eat while we waited for Bella when we thought that she was just going to be a couple of minutes late.

Jess and Angela nodded in agreement and we quickly paid for our meal and started to head to my car.

"Oh my god Bella!" I heard Angela exclaim and I quickly looked over in the direction Angela was looking and there she was! I quickly ran over to her and pulled her into a huge hug.

"Jesus Bella! Where the hell have you been!?" I exclaimed as I pulled away and quickly looked over her to make sure she was truly okay.

"I'm sorry you guys, I was at the book store for a while and then…" Bella said and then trailed off.

"Then we ran into each other when she was walking to meet you three here, and we just lost track of time." My brother stated making his presence known.

At that Angela and Jess looked at each other and then looked at Bella with smirks on their faces. "Oh don't worry about it. We're just glad you are okay." Jess said.

I rolled my eyes at them and then turned to the couple, "Well actually it's not completely okay! Haven't you learned how to answer a damn phone!? I was worried sick!"

Bella blushed and looked at her feet, "I'm sorry Winnie my phone was on silent…"

She was lying. They both were. Something happened, and I wanted to know but when I turned to my brother and saw the look on his face I decided that now was not the best time to question them so I decided to wait until later.

So I sighed and pulled Bella into another hug. "It's okay. I'm glad you are okay. Did you like the book store?" I asked changing the topic quickly.

Bella looked at me and gave me a small smile, "Yeah you were right it was probably my new favorite place."

I laughed and nodded, "Yeah it's pretty great!"

"Well I think it's time to get Bella something to eat." Edward said ending our conversation, probably wanting alone time with his girlfriend.

Jess then gave Bella and Edward an apologetic look, "We are so sorry Bella, but we already ate!"

Angela nodded with the same look on her face, "Yeah we thought you were going to just be a few minutes late not a whole hour late."

Bella waved it off, "It's okay you guys don't worry about it."

Edward stepped closer to her and wrapped an arm around her waist, "You three can go ahead and head back to Forks and I'll make sure Bella eats and gets home safe."

Angela and Jess turned to me as if asking me if it was a good idea, and I just shrugged in response and nodded at my brother, "That sounds good. I'll see you at home Edward and I'll see you tomorrow Bella!"

And with that Jess and Angela said their goodbyes to the pair and the three of us headed to my truck.

"So do you think they did it in his Volvo?" Jess asked with a smirk on her face as we drove down the highway.

At that we all started to laugh loudly, "Oh my god Jessica! Seriously!?" I exclaimed through my laughter.

"Well they did spend a lot of time alone together, not answering their phones." Angela added giggling.

I shook my head, "Can we please not talk about my friend having sex with my twin brother!" At that Angela and Jess started to laugh again.

When we finally stopped laughing we drove in silence for a while and then Jess decided to speak up again, "Do you think Bella did the whole foggy hand print thing on the car window like that scene from Titanic?"

Jess and Angela started to laugh again and I groaned, "Seriously I just ate! I don't want to throw up a perfectly good meal!" I exclaimed but I couldn't help but start laughing with them.

From there Angela thankfully decided it was time for a topic change and started to talk about plans for prom night. And that conversation lasted until we reached Jess's house, Angela and I said our goodbyes to her as she walked towards her house and waved goodbye to us.

"So what do you really think Bella and Edward were doing together?" Angela asked as we headed towards her house.

I sighed, "Honestly I don't like thinking about it because the only things that enter my head are bad thoughts."

Angela nodded and turned to look out the passenger window, "Same here. I'm just glad that she's okay."

"Same here." I agreed, and we drove the rest of the way to Angela's house in silence. And once we arrived and reached over and gave my friend a hug and said goodbye. I waited until she was safely in her house then I drove down the road towards home.

Once I got there I pulled into the garage and saw that Alice and Jasper were waiting for me at the garage door. I smiled at them as I turned off my truck and got out, grabbing my dress and then walking over to them where Alice pulled me into a tight hug.

I hugged her back and then pulled away from her, "What happened Alice?"

She turned to Jasper who nodded and grabbed my dress and walked away as Alice pulled me into the house and towards the living room where the rest of our family was waiting.

My eyes widened slightly and walked over to the arm chair and sat down, "Okay this is scaring me. What is going on?"

Alice sat down on the couch closest to me and sighed, "Bella was almost attacked today. By that group of guys you saw outside of the dress store."

I froze. Shit! I knew something bad had happened! Why the hell did I suggest her to go to that stupid bookstore alone!?

I stood up and headed straight to the front door but Carlisle stopped me, "Winifred this isn't your fault. You can't see the future like Alice, you can't read minds like Alice. You had no idea that this would happen. You cannot blame yourself."

I shook my head and for the first time in a long time I felt the roots of my hair start to change and went from their usual ginger color to a light blue, "But it is my fault! I let her go by herself! I should have insisted that I should go with her more. God! If Edward hadn't been there whatever they would have done to her would be on me!"

At that moment I felt the guilt and sadness I was feeling start to leave me and I quickly turned to Jasper who was standing in the doorway, "Stop it right now Jasper! I need this! I need to feel this, I have been too careless lately and now my carelessness almost got someone important to my brother hurt or possibly killed!"

At that Esme rushed over to me and pulled me into a tight and motherly hug, "Winnie stop! This is not on you. No one is blaming you. And no one has said that you have been acting careless. If anything we are happy that you are branching out and coming out of your shell."

I shook my head and pulled away, "Stop it all of you! This is on me! And you may not have said it but I know you all think it! I have been careless and reckless! I've been getting close to humans, talking to people from the reservation and worse lying to them by saying I'm not a Cullen, and then telling Bella our family secret." I yelled and started to pace back and forth.

"You all have been saying that Edward is the one that is putting this family in danger, but it's me! It's been me this whole time, and you all know it! But you have been walking on eggshells around me and not saying a word, and I can't let you guys do that anymore…"

Right when I said that Alice jumped up and grabbed my shoulders, "No! Winnie! Don't you dare leave us!"

At that the room become silence and the tension began to rise. And then Rosalie walked over to me, "Winifred stop this now! We don't blame you! For any of this! So don't you dare leave because you think it's for the best because it's not!"

I shook my head again feeling the roots of my hair now change from light blue to a bright red and moved away from all of them, "How is this not my fault Rosalie?! I put our family in danger by telling Bella our secret, I'm putting Jess, Angela, and the rest of them in danger by just being around them, and now what's worse is that I was stupid enough to let Bella go off on her own in a city filled with dangerous people! So please tell me Rosalie how the hell this all isn't my fault!?"

The room fell silent again and I waited a couple of moments for someone to say something, and when nobody did a chuckled sadly and looked at all of them, "You got nothing right? So this is for the best. It has to be."

And with that I ran to my room and started to pack my things as fast as I could. I had to get out of there quickly, before anyone could stop me, especially my brother but knowing him he'll most likely be with Bella until morning and then come home so if I kept up the pace I was going at now I would be able to have everything I'd need ready to go in about 2 hours.

Surprisingly none of my family members came to my room to try and stop me, in fact I didn't even see them when I was loading my things into my truck. Not even Alice had tried to stop me… I know I deserved it, because of the way I yelled at them but I was kind of hoping that they wouldn't be so mad at me that they wouldn't come say goodbye to me. But that's how it went, because just as planned two and a half hours later I was driving down the road leaving Forks and my family behind.

I drove for two straight days, only stopping for gas or when I needed to hunt, and at first I didn't know where I was going but then after the first day of driving I knew exactly where I wanted and needed to go. I was going home.

I stood in front of the house I used to call home in Chicago. I had been standing there for seemed like hours, I haven't been here for almost 112 years. No one lived here, Carlisle bought it when Edward and I became vampires, and then hired someone to come to the house at least once a week to keep it clean and well kept. He really was an amazing person.

Anyways, after a few more moments standing front of the large two story house I took a deep breath and walked up to the front door and opened it. I stepped in and it was like going back in time. Everything was still exactly where it had been the last time I had seen it. It was almost hard to believe. It was like I was coming back from a long trip. I set my things down and walked down the hallway and toward the front living room or as it used to be called the drawing room.

The drawing room was a large room with a large window that had an amazing view of the garden in the front yard, in the center of the room was a little glass coffee table and around it sat a love seat couch and a three seated couch and a round arm chair. In the far left hand corner of the room was the large grand piano, I could almost see my mother sitting on the bench with my brother while he practiced playing the beautiful instrument. I smiled sadly at the thought of my mother and my brother and then moved down the hallway towards the kitchen.

The kitchen looked like how I remembered it except Carlisle took the liberty of upgrading the major things like the stove, oven, and add a refrigerator. But besides that it was exactly the same, I could almost smell my mother's sugar cookies and lemonade. She had tried countless times to teach me how to bake her famous sugar cookies but I never could get them right. I would always pout afterwards but she would always tell me, "Winnie the sugar cookie isn't the sugar cookie. Sugar cookie is the recipe." Again I smiled at the memory and then headed to the next room. My father's study.

My father's study was a medium sized room that was covered with books. Like my room in Forks but more, I don't know manly I guess. My father was the person that gave me my love for books, I would sit in here for hours and hours reading every book I could get my hands on, and he would sit behind his desk working and smoking his pipe. I was a major daddy's girl, no doubt about it. My father was my hero, my first love, he was my daddy. Losing him was probably the hardest thing I had to go through. I started to feel my hair turn light blue and I shook my head and moved on to the next room.

I walked upstairs and opened the door to Edward old room, it was a normal sized bedroom and had sheet music covering the room. Yeah my brother started writing his own music at a young age. It was horrible of course, but he kept going. I was about to leave the room but then something caught my eye, on the top shelf of the old bookshelf was an old worn Peter Rabbit stuffed animal! I laughed and rushed over and picked it up. I had gotten this for Edward when I was 10 for his 11th birthday. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was his favorite bedtime story when he was younger so when my father took me out to find him a birthday present I instantly pick out the stuffed animal. Edward of course said that he hated it, he was a boy wanting to look cool in front of his friends so he just shoved it into his closet, I had always thought that he threw it away when he got older… I had no idea that he kept it. I smiled and gave the stuffed rabbit a hug before setting it back where it was.

The next room I went to was my own room. When I walked in I smiled at the sight of it, it was like the rest of the house preserved in time. I walked over to my small desk and opened the top drawer, inside I saw an old picture of the first boy I ever liked. I picked it up and started to laugh, at the memory. His name was William Evans, he was Edward's best friend at the time and I just thought he was the most beautiful man to ever walk the earth! Every time he came over to see Edward I would follow them around like a puppy. And on William's 13th birthday we went over to his house for the birthday party and I found this picture sitting on the kitchen counter so I grabbed it and hid it inside my dress. God I was such a freak! I then placed the photo back in the drawer and went over to my closet.

The first thing I saw was the dress my mother got me for my 16th birthday, it was pure white with long sleeves and a little puffy at the shoulders there was a light pink ribbon around the collar. It reached the floor and had a frilly lace at the bottom. I feel in love with that dress the moment my mother had given it to me, but sadly I never got to wear it because a couple days before my birthday my father got sick, and then my mother followed shortly after. So there was no time to celebrate.

After I left my room I went to my parent's bedroom. Now in my time it wasn't proper for a husband and wife to share a bedroom or even a bed. The only time you did was for well… well for sex. But my parents weren't ones to follow rules so they shared a bedroom and a bed. I walked over to my mother vanity and sat down smiling, all her jewelry was there, I remembered playing dress up with her and we would pretend it was my wedding day or that I was a princess getting ready for a ball.

I pulled open the top drawer and picked up her small jewelry box that held her most precious pieces of jewelry. I opened it and pulled out a small chain of pearls, she told me that her mother gave the necklace to her on her 18th birthday and that it had been passed down from generation to generation and that on my 18th birthday I would get it. I had always was so excited for that day, the day that never came. I sighed and then placed the necklace around my neck and ran my fingers over the small white pearls, I guess 112th birthday would have to work.

The next thing I pulled out from the small box was my favorite piece of jewelry she owned, her engagement ring. It was so beautiful, but she always told me that it didn't matter what the ring looked like all that mattered was that man that was holding it, but it was nice to get a nice ring as well. I laughed at the memory of her words and then slid the ring onto my ring and smiled at it.

After that I put the box away and walked over to my father's night stand and pulled open the top drawer, inside sat his favorite pipe, a box of cigars, and his pocket watch. I picked up the old pocket watch and opened it. He had always talked about how Edward was going to get this when he turned 18, and that it was to be passed down to Edward's son. Yeah my family was big on tradition.

I held the old watch close to my chest and let myself fall down onto the bed. I closed my eyes and I felt my hair start to change followed by my face and then the rest of my body until I sat up and looked at the mirror on my mother's vanity. I didn't see Winnie Cullen anymore, in her place I saw young girl with long sandy blonde hair and blue/green eyes, I saw Winifred Jane Masen. And for the first time in a while I allowed myself to cry.

I cried over my past, over the life that I should have had with my brother and parents, over the fact that I left the only family I would ever have, over the fact that even if I went back they may not ever forgive me. And lastly I cried because now I was alone.
