Chapter Nineteen: Katie's POV

"Bella, are you ready for school?" I knocked on her bedroom door. There was no answer. "Bella, you here?" I asked. There was still no answer. I opened the door and she wasn't in there. In fact, all of her stuff wasn't there, all the stuff she had brought from Washington. On her bed was 7 letters. Each and our names on them.

I picked mine up and opened it.

Katie, I haven't run away with Alec, so I'm not in Italy. I haven't run away with any but myself. You have been so good to me, but I can't take it anymore there is so much to think about, and I need to break free. Yu are my best friend, so please be my best friend and don't look for me. I am going to the only place that truly understands me. Alec and I aren't together anymore. I just need my space; I'll come visit but please don't come find me. I'll love you like my sister forever. ~Bella Swan.

I started to cried tearless tears and I scooped up everyone's letters and ran downstairs.

"Where's Bella?" Amy asked.

"She's gone, she ran away." I sobbed.

"She didn't!" Brett gasped.

"She did, everyone got a letter." I cried

I handed everyone their letters and they opened them and read them.

"She's really gone."Amy sobbed.

"I can't believe it. She ran away with Alec." Brett mumbled.

"She didn't, she wrote that in mine, she said that if I really was her best friend we wouldn't go after her. She didn't run away with anyone." I told them.

Colin came over and gave me a tight hug and held me close.

"We need to make some phone calls, see where she went."

"No, we wouldn't be loyal to her if we tried to contact her." Madi told them. "We've done everything we can for her."

"But she owes me twenty bucks." Derek sighed

"This twenty bucks?" Amy said and grabbed twenty bucks off the ground that he dropped.

"She always came through on her bets." Derek chuckled.

"I'm going to school." I told them.

"After all of this you are still going?" Amy asked shocked.

"I need answers." I told them and I went in Bella's car to school.

I was late for Choir but Edward didn't mind. We sang and I missed Bella, I didn't have anyone to talk to and laugh with. The bell rang for the period to end and I stayed behind to talk to Edward.

"You were there last night, what happen to her?" I asked him as I came off the platform where we had class.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Edward said and kept looking at his papers.

"You were at the vampire exclusive with Tanya, I know that much, what the hell happen to my girl?" I roared.

"I don't know I saw her walk in side with tears streaming down her face and she grabbed her things from Gianna and she left, I tried to follow her out but she had already left and I had a plane to catch." He explained.

"I doubt that you didn't see her between the time she had gotten her stuff and you went to the plane." I told him.

"What happen to Bella Edward?" I asked through my teeth.

"I don't know Katie." Edward said. "Look I look after my own family." He threw his pen on the table.

"YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS AND YOU KNOW I AM SPEAKING THE TRUTH. YOU CONSIDER HER AS YOUR FAMILY. WHERE IS SHE?" I yelled.

"Look I have another class to teach, maybe Emmett as seen her." Edward said

I just need my space; I'll come visit but please don't come find me. I sighed and walked to my next class

"Has anyone seen Isabella Swan?" Emmett asked as I walked out when he was calling role.

"She isn't in school today." I told him and raised my hand as I sat in my squad place.

"She ran away from home." I told him telepathically.

Emmett's eyes were full of fun and carelessness. But his eyes were taken over by hurt and wonder.

"Okay today we are shooting hoops, Katie Swan come see me." Emmett said and everyone started to play basketball.

"Where is my little sister?!" Emmett asked.

"I don't know, she ran away from home. When I went in to get her for school, her things that she brought from Washington and the things she bought with her money is gone. She has no phone, iPod, or laptop. Everything the Porters bought, she left, clothes included." I told him.

"Did she leave a note or anything?" Emmett asked.

"She left everyone a note, in mine she said that she and Alec broke up and that she needed space and she told us not to look for her." I sighed.

"She didn't tell anyone where she was going?" He asked.

"I think she told Edward, but he won't spill." I told him.

"Right, go home Katie, go hunt, your eyes are black. You're excused." Emmett told me.

I nodded and thanked him. I went into changed and got in the car and drove to the mountains to go hunting.
