Bella POV

Rose had been very quiet since she had been given the news from Jasper and Emmett. Carlisle had told us at home later that she was in shock. She hadn't reacted yet how the rest of us had. She hadn't shown any anger or shed a single tear. She would just keep herself to herself, keeping quiet never talking. Jasper the usual calm one had never looked so ill. His face was grey, his eyes red from his crying sessions when he was alone. Emmett just didn't seem to know what to do. He would very often be asking Charlie, Carlisle and Esme for advice, but all they could recommend was giving her time to let it sink in. The torture of never knowing what Rose was thinking was obviously torturing him, the pain showing in his face.

I climbed out the cab of my truck and grabbed my bag. Rose was still in hospital and Edward was coming to pick me up to go and visit her in an hour and a half. Emmett had been there all day, having taken the week off work. I think he just wanted Rose to talk to him. I grabbed the mail before going into the house, flicking through it, expecting it all to be for Charlie. I was surprised to see there was one for me. I never received mail. I opened it and began reading, my body beginning to shake the further to the bottom I reached.

Dearest Bella,

Just a note of warning for your mind. I hope you have noticed all that is happening around you, seen what has happened to your brother and blondie. Your family must feel destroyed, but who can they blame? You Bella Swan. If you didn't exist, if your life wasn't so perfect none of this would have happened. Emmett wouldn't have lost his pride and Blondie wouldn't currently be lying in a hospital bed.

Who could be next Bella? You could be the one to make this all stop.

Would you want to see that pixie friend of yours go insane before your eyes? Having to see her own father decide to put her in an asylum, knowing that it was all your own fault.

What about Chief Swan? Could you sit back and watch as the next robbery he is called out would be his last?

Bella I hope you have clearly understood what you have to do, as there is really only one answer. You won't try to do anything stupid and call the cops as I will know. You wouldn't want that pretty boy of yours to get hurt now, would you?

Your Guardian Angel.

I swallowed hard as I re-read the last sentence of the letter again. I couldn't allow whoever was doing this to hurt anyone, especially Edward. They were correct when they said there was only one thing I could do to stop all this. I had to leave to make all my family safe.

I looked down at my hands, to the ring Edward had put there himself. I would have to leave this for him. I knew I wouldn't be strong enough to tell him face to face. My grief would deceive me and I knew he would know there was a lot more to this than first thought. We were too well connected to each other. I would pack and leave tonight. The sooner I got away the safer everyone would be. The safer my Edward would be. But then he wouldn't be my Edward anymore. I would be giving him up for somebody else to love. He would hurt at first but over time he would get over it and learn to move on. As for me I would forever love him. He would always have a place in my heart, no matter what happened.

Half an hour I had a bag packed. I was travelling light, as I didn't want things to hold me back. I also didn't want to carry too many memories of what would be my past life with me. I didn't have any photographs or sentiments, purely essentials like clothes. I packed a few bits of food I found in the cupboards and pulled the note pad out that Dad kept around to write any notes down. I ripped the first sheet off and wrote all the letters I had to, leaving them all addressed to the people I cared about to much on the kitchen table.

I knew where I was going, it would be my first of many destinations, never really knowing where I had in mind to spend my life. I was going to catch a plane to Phoenix, Arizona. My Mom had originally come from there, I knew I had a couple of cousins who still lived there but I wouldn't be going to see them. I was going there for familiarity. Before Mom had died we had holidayed there as a family a couple of times plus Phoenix was a big place. Big enough for me to get lost in and never be found.

I put my bag on my shoulder closing the door behind me for the very last time, walking out to my truck. I would leave it at the airport. I didn't care what happened to it after that. I didn't care about anything after that as my life wouldn't be worth living but I had to live it somehow.

Emmett POV

When I pulled up outside the house I noticed Bella's truck was gone. We must have just missed each other, her and Edward would be arriving at the hospital to see Rose. Carlisle and Esme were currently sat with her while she slept giving me chance to nip home to shower and change. I was grateful to everyone at this time, they were all being so supportive to Rose, if only Rose could start to talk.

I threw my Jeep keys down on the kitchen table noticed a number of sheets of paper addressed to all of us in Bella's untidy handwriting. What was going on? I found the one addressed to me opening it and reading.

To my brother bear Emmett,

I am so sorry for having to leave at such a bad time. I know my leaving will hurt you all when you are all so hurt already. I will miss you and Rose so much and would really wish that one day you could be married. My "sister" being official, but of course I won't be around for that.

Please forgive me Em, I love you and Rose so much. Goodbye.

Bella.

I stared down at the note at shock. What was Bella talking about, what did she mean she wouldn't be around and why was she saying goodbye? I heard a knock at the door and ran to answer it, hoping it was Bella, she had forgotten her keys and now she was going to give me some answers to what this was all about. It wasn't it was Edward.

"Where's Bella?" I demanded.

Edward stood confusion to my question and shock from my attitude obvious across his face,

"What do you mean? I have come to pick her up to take her to the hospital" he stuttered.

"You mean she isn't with you?" I asked, the realisation beginning to sink in. Bella had really left us all.

"No" Edward replied. I placed the note Bella had addressed to me in Edward's hands and he read quickly before he spoke again, much more frantic this time.

"What does she mean she has left?" Edward asked, his voice beginning to crack.

"I don't know but she has left a note for you too."

Edward glanced at me quickly before running through to the kitchen and grabbing the sheet of paper that had been addressed to him. His hands were shaking as he unfolded the letter and his eyes darted quickly across the page as he read. He didn't say anything as he reached the bottom of the letter, but instead dropped it on the floor before running upstairs. I didn't know where he was heading but I picked up the paper Edward had discarded and began to read.

Dear my brave lion Edward,

I am so sorry for what I am doing but I have to leave now. You could say our fling was fun while it lasted, like a high school crush, but now it must end. I must move on with my life and so must you Edward. I need you to be strong for me Edward as you still have the rest of your life to live. The wedding was a nice thought and I was so flattered when you asked me to be your wife, but I have left your ring on my dresser in my old room. It is yours now, it has always been yours. I am so sorry for what I have put you through, it was all a mistake but fun while it lasted. I know your heart will mend in time and your soul mate is out there somewhere. You just haven't met her yet.

Sorry again for leading this on for as long as I did.

Bella

What was going on? I asked myself over and over again. Bella kept talking about having to leave but she never explained why and knowing Bella like I did, I knew she would never leave like this without a full explanation. I looked across at the table again where the remaining letters remained. There was a letter for Dad, one for Alice and Jasper and one addressed to Carlisle and Esme. I couldn't help but think that they contained the answers and before I could stop myself I was ripping them open and reading them. It was no use though. None of the letters contained answers, they were all similar to Edward and my letters. All just apologies and to her leaving, never saying why she had to leave. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialled the number of the police station. Dad answered.

"Dad I think you had best come home now."
