No POV

It wasn't until the day after Kyle left that it hit the Cullens that they would have to go on with their daily lives, as if Kyle hadn't just been taken from them. Only what they had come accustomed to, were habits that were the best parts of their day. Esme and Rosalie had no reason to cook breakfast anymore. Esme could no longer sneak him sweets behind Emmett and Rosalie's backs. Nor anyone to kiss goodbye on their way to school. Rosalie was the most affected by Kyle's absence. She no longer smiled just because the sun was shining. Many times when people spoke to her she was too far into her own thoughts that she would have to be shaken to come out of it. Nothing seemed to matter to her anymore. School, not that it meant much anyway, her cars, or the others. The only one in the family that could bring back to the world was Emmett. He tried to keep her out of the house with hunting, but she had lost her appetite and was done after a few gulps. They took time off from school to go on trips, but they had both seen the world so many times that The Great Wall of China might as well of been their backyard fence. It was decided that it would be best for everyone if they went back into their daily routines.

From the very first day it was noticed that Kyle was missing from the Cullen group. No one dared approach to ask any of them about Kyle. Except Angela. With most of the Cullens she wasn't comfortable enough to talk to any of them without Kyle being there, but after so long she really got worried and wanted to know what had happened to him. So she asked the one Cullen she could talk to without being anxious. During last period gym class, in the bleachers, she approached him as he sat watching the other students play volleyball on the court. Not that he didn't notice her coming.

Edward POV

Without using my enhanced peripheral vision, I could still sense Angela approaching me during gym class. It was optional play, and as usual before Kyle came into our lives, I tried not to stick out as anything other than a normal teenager. From what I could tell from the approaching girl, whose sweet scent was getting stronger as she came closer, she opted not to play as well in order to talk to me.

"Hi." I turned to the sound of her shy greeting and melodic voice. Hoping to settle her nerves, I let her know I gladly welcomed her presence, and gave her my best winning smile. Like a mouse being mesmerized by the eyes of a king cobra, she looked into my eyes and relaxed.

"Hello." I answered. My voice making her relax even more. She stared at me a little longer than she should of and she knew it. Trying to play it off as nothing, she continued on with her reason for coming.

"I was wondering if Kyle was okay." "Of course she was here for Kyle.'

"He's gone."

"What!" her eyes widened in shock. "How could he just be gone?"

"It was the night of his party." Usually I don't bother explaining myself to others, but I knew Angela wasn't a gossiper like Jessica. "His real parents found him and took him home."

"Oh! Well I guess it's good that he found his real parents, but I wish I had gotten to say goodbye." Then she gasped. "And I had kissed him. I didn't get a chance to talk to him about it. I shouldn't of kissed him. At that I felt a flicker of hope. I looked at her pretending not to of seen every detail of the entire kiss. 'She didn't feel anything for Kyle?'

"Yeah, it's been kind of hard on all of us." I said sadly. Okay maybe I'm using my true sad feelings for my own benefit, but I can't help it. I've wanted her and haven't been able to have her.

"Oh I bet you guys really miss him." She said sympathetically and sat down next to me. "Is he going to visit?"

"We don't know. They haven't given us their address yet." 'Awe poor Edward. Is that why Rosalie has been so depressed lately. She's seemed crushed.' Angela thought.

"Has he called or anything?"
"Yeah we text with him as he drove to the airport, and we've web chatted a few times. He seems okay where he is so far." She calmed down at this news and her posture loosened. 'Awe he moved before he got to see that movie he wanted to. We were going to go with Tyler and Jessica." She thought with her head in one hand looking back at the class playing their game.

'This is falling into place too easily.' I thought even though I feel that I should not be doing this.

"He left before we could go see Jurassic World together." I was going to surprise him with two tickets for us to go." I lied

"Oh that's we were going to see together with Tyler and Jessica."

"Really... You want to go with me to it. I mean, so the tickets won't go to waste." I smirked and she froze. 'Oh my gosh! Did Edward M. Cullen just ask me out? Ahhhhhh!' I tried not to laugh at this thought.

"Yes." She simply answered holding back a smile, but I could still see her facial muscles straining to stay in place. "Oh wait when is it, so I'm not ditching Tyler and Jessica. We were going this Saturday."

"Perfect, mine were for Friday." They will be anyway.

"Oh that does work out perfectly." She made a small squeak that I wasn't supposed to hear. 'I can't wait to tell Jessica!'

'Oh dang it'll be all over school by the end of tomorrow.'

"I'll see you Friday then." I smiled again. Then I stood up and put my backpack on. And made for the door to leave. Angela watched me walk away with confusion.

"Where are you going?"

"The bell is about to ring." I called back to her. A half second later the bell actually rang and I smiled up at her. She breathed a beautiful chuckle and started to gather her own things to leave.

As I sat in my car alone, I thought over what just happened. 'It's going to be okay that I'm going on a date with Angela. Kyle only kissed her once, and Angela was very happy that I asked her out.' My phone vibrated, and I took it out to see a text from Alice.

Don't worry about it. Everything will be fine. I looked up to see Alice walking to the car with Jasper to drive home. Emmett was dragging Rosalie at a slow pace by the hand over to their car next to us. Emmett was worried about his mate. She barely even talks to him anymore. At the same time we both backed out of the parking lot to head home.

Emmett POV

On the way home with Rosalie, all I could think of was her sadness. I've never seen her this bad before. Helpless was the only thing I could feel when I'm not able to bring her out of it. I missed my son too; then the thought came to me. 'Am I still a father? Kyle isn't here for me to take care of anymore. Some other man is doing that. No! I can't think like that. Even if Kyle is away, I'll be any type of father I can be to him.' Then I had a great idea. It would either make things better or make it worse.

As we pulled up to the house, I bolted into the house leaving Rosalie looking shocked. I shouted 'Hi' to Esme on my way up to Rosalie and my room where our laptop sat on our desk. After firing it up, I logged into our Skype account to see if he was online. And he was. "What are you doing?" Rosalie asked dryly as she walked into our room and lay on the bed. I didn't answer her as I sent a request call.

"Hi Dad." Kyle answered my call a few moments later. Rosalie straightened at hearing Kyle's voice, but didn't move from the bed.

"Key kiddo." I smiled back "How have you been? We miss you out here."

"I miss you too dad. Where's mom?" I turned to Rosalie. She was still on the bed.

"She's right here. Rosalie come here. Kyle's on." As if she didn't know. She walked over to the computer table and sat on my lap. She still had a hard time looking at Kyle sometimes without crying. This time she managed to smile at him, and Kyle smiled his big winning smile back at her.

"Hi." Kyle knew from past web chats, that at if he called her mom directly she would cry and run off.

"How's your new home going?" she asked slowly.

"Good."

"Why doesn't the phone we gave you work?"

"There are no cell towers here. They only have telephone poles"

"Where are you that they don't have a cell tower?" I asked shocked. 'Where do they have you that you can't call us from anywhere?' Kyle didn't answer since Rosalie jumped in and asked,

"Where's Jacob and Mellissa." She refused to ever refer to them as Kyle's parents.

"They're not here." They never were.

"Your clock says its eight at night. Why are you home alone at night?" Kyle turned around and realized I was looking at the clock that hung on the wall and it was dark outside his window.

"They work late. I usually just see them in the morning before school, and a lot on weekends."

"Have you made any friends in school yet?" I asked. "Bet you're Mr. Popular like your dad."

"Not really. A lot of the guys seem to act like children around here, and the girls stare and giggle at me too much for my liking. So I still pretty much keep to myself.

"Yep just like me!" I smiled widely and he laughed.

"Where are everyone else?"

"HI KYLE!" everyone shouted from various areas in the house. Of course they were listening. Everyone rushed to our room to gather in front of the screen.

"Hi everybody." Kyle waved at everyone smiling.

"Kyle, time for bed." A male voice said. Kyle frowned up at the voice at his bedroom door.

"Okay." Then he turned back to us. "I gotta go." Everyone hid their disappointment with a smile and waved goodbye.

"See you later son." I whispered. Kyle kept looking back and forth between me and his door. Which meant that his dad was still at the door.

"Bye."

"Kyle." Rosalie asked quickly. "When do you think we will see you again?" they both looked longingly at each other.

"I promise, I'll do anything I can to see you again."

"I love you." She managed to keep her tears out of her speech, but I could hear it starting.

"I love you too." He ended the call and the screen went to the blue and white Skype background.

Smiling up at Rosalie, I was proud of her. She managed to talk to Kyle without breaking apart. She seemed to be in deep thought.

"What are you thinking?"

"Did something seem off to you?" she still looked in thought.

"What do you mean?"

"Kyle said no one was home, and then Jacob told him to get off the computer." I gave that some thought and admitted it was a little strange. Kyle doesn't lie to us. "And why is it he never tells us where he lives?" Also strange, but that's not unheard of from Kyle.

"Well babe he doesn't know our address, or the address from our last home."

"Yeah that's true. But why are all his chats with us so short. It's always right before ten minutes he ends the call. A few rimes I've timed them, and this one was exactly nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds. I tried to keep him online on purpose the last time to see if he would go past ten minutes, and then it just dropped. We didn't get an answer when you tried to call him again." I remembered that web chat. Kyle was getting nervous and answered us more quickly and shorter answers than usual.

"I remember that one."

"He kept looking past his screen as if someone was watching him."

"Calm down babe." I hugged her in my lap and rubbed her arm. "We know where he is, even though Kyle won't tell us, Jasper has a GPS installed on Kyle's computer and he is in Maine. If we find out that something is wrong, we'll hop on the first plane and get him."

Rosalie seemed to be a lot better this time after this talk with Kyle. Granted she was now worried about Kyle, but at least she talking again and not depressed and going back into her own head.

No POV

"Kyle, that was too close." Adam Baylin said calmly, but Kyle could hear the serious undertone in his voice that matched the serious look in his eyes. They had to keep strict security rules at the estate. Kyle isn't supposed to exist. Adam is supposed to have no knowledge of Kyle being alive. It would be hard to explain how Adam happened to have a son who was an almost exact replica of himself. Cellphones are too easily traced, and with their advanced security on the internet their computer signal was a lot harder to get an exact reading on it. No one else knew about this estate except Adam and his small staff, but he wasn't going to make it too easy for anyone trying to find him. Adam softened his look and his voice at his son, "I know you miss them Kyle. And I know ten minutes at a time is not enough."

"I just promised mo…Rosalie that I would see her again." Kyle interrupted, and looked Adam in the eyes; both serious and pleading, "When will I get to see them again?" Adam sighed and gave that some thought. Over the past few months Kyle has learned a lot from Adam. Like him, Kyle excelled with a gift for levitation of himself and other objects. Their personal relationship was a little more complicated than mastering Kyle's abilities. Adam would call Kyle son with affection, and Kyle called him Dad often. You would think they were normal father and son. Then their were discussions like this and they knew they had to treat each other with caution over sensitive topics such as Kyle's family. Neither of them had gotten mad at each other before, but in the back of both their minds, they had an instinct that I could be dangerous. Adam knew from past experience how destructive a child of these experiments could be in they ever lost their rationality.

"I'm working on that Kyle." Adam moved to sit next to Kyle on the edge of his tub. "Son. I know you want to go back to live with them, but that would mean that I would have to give you up. I love you. I want you to live only with me. We could visit yes, but you wouldn't be able to live in their house again."

"I love you too dad." Kyle moved closer to him and hugged him. Kyle knew Adam loved him just as much as Rosalie does, and it would kill him for me to leave. "I'm not just going to throw you away and leave you. I want to live with you too. We could all live together." Adam laughed at such a crazy idea.

"Kyle…Why would your family just let me live with them." Kyle had forgotten the little detail that his family were vampires and Adam might not like being a human in a house full of them.

"I can't tell you that." He answered. "But I know they would be okay with it." Kyle remembered the story Jasper told him on their first day living with the family. Alice just introduced herself and moved in their stuff. Adam smirked at Kyle as he came out of his thoughts and kissed his head.

"Good night son."

"Goodnight dad." And Kyle got ready for bed.

As he lay in bed he knew everything would be okay. Earlier, after Adam left, Kyle snuck back on his computer and sent a Skype text to Alice. It was his email address and then quickly got off and shut down the computer again. She was the only one to have it. That same night as Kyle slept Alice emailed him her ideas on how to make Adam comfortable living with them. She hadn't told the others yet, but would have to soon. He wouldn't be living in the same house as them, but he would be close.

When Adam left Kyle's room, after Kyle expresses his belief that the Cullens would welcome him to live in their house. Just like that. Adam was still smirking as he headed for his study. When Adam approached the door to his study, he knew someone was there already. If Kyle would of walked into this room he would of panicked. In the chair facing away from the door sat the man at the graduation and almost shot Kyle. Adam on the other hand was completely relaxed and calmly walked into the room and sat at his desk.

"So what do you have to report?" Adam didn't need to ask why he was here; he never came into his office unless it was to report.

"We have a security breach." He answered calmly. "It isn't an immediate threat, but you'll have to make arrangements to move to another secure location soon."

"How did this breach occur?"

"I'm not sure yet. There's a trace in the IP codes that doesn't belong to us. All outside codes are supposed to bounce to other locations across the world. This code has managed itself into our system. It hasn't been there long."

"How long until we have to leave?" Adam had remained calm throughout this explanation. He had always known that someone from the experiment had still been looking for him, and may eventually have to leave.

"About a week, but you shouldn't stay with the boy. He's a dead giveaway. You should split up."

"What!" Adam knew that they needed to leave, but he had planned for them to be together. Adam loved having Kyle in his life again. He'd only gotten him back for a few months

"You can't get caught with him. If they're able to trace you, eventually they'll have personnel watching you." The man watched Adams disappointed face and was trying to think of a way to get around splitting up from Kyle. "It's not like its forever. You had enough security cleared from this area before we brought him here, once everything cools down again we'll bring him back. Adam came out of his thoughts. He didn't have a choice. "Should I inform the attorney to practice his part?"

"Yes." Adam gave in. "I'll start the preparations tonight. In about two days we'll put the evacuation in motion."
