Today's the day.

I'm leaving rehab and starting my life fresh.

I called Bella yesterday…but got the machine again.

I told her how much I loved her, how much I missed her, and that I'd be coming home today.

I can barely contain my excitement as Mom and Carlisle help me load my stuff in the trunk and we head home.

I feel good, like I'm ready to get back out into the world.

I'm nervous too though, because the first place I'm going is to see Bella.

I hope she'll let me speak to her.

I hope she'll give me another chance.

After what feels like forever, we finally arrive at our destination.

It's surreal how from the outside the house looks exactly the same.

Any person passing by would never have a clue about how much had happened in that house.

I walk up to the front door and use the spare key my parents had to unlock the door.

With a shaky hand, I turn the knob and walk inside.
