Author's Note: For the past week Bella has stayed home "sick" doing nothing but keeping her head faced down on the pillow and hunting every night. She hasn't seen the school, the outside world, or any other place beside from her bedroom and the bathroom for the whole week. Henry had forgiven Elizabeth because it wasn't her fault that it happened. Elizabeth is now enrolled as a junior high school like Bella. The humans know Elizabeth as Bella's twin sister who just moved up here from New York which is where Bella supposedly moved here from. Bella hasn't formed full sentences in a full week and its concerning everyone. In the past week, Bella finally decided to start again and have a normal life as if Edward never came back. (I doubt that could ever work) You will find out that Edward is much worse.

Back-to-School
A week later…
I pulled myself off the bed and went to get dressed for another day of school. I went into the bathroom to get ready. The eyes of the girl looking back at me from the mirror were empty and lifeless like she was missing her soul. I got in and took a quick shower, not giving my brain time to wander to other thoughts. I slipped into my clothes and made a brush levitate through my hair before going downstairs. Elizabeth waited for me downstairs already dressed and ready to go.
"Are you driving today?" She asked getting up from the sofa. I nodded and opened the front door and getting out. "Henry's on another business trip, he said he'll be back in two days." She closed the door behind her and we made our way to the car. I wasn't angry at Elizabeth because I knew that nothing was her fault and Henry knew that too. She was always attempting to provoke me to speak a full sentence, something I hadn't done for a week now. I merely nodded at her and got in the car slamming the door closed. "Bella, are you sure you want to go back to school today?" I nodded again but kept my eyes straight forward. I was done moping around all day. I had to move on with my life, what's done is done.
I started the car and stepped on the gas with the radio as the only noise in the car. I stared at the road ahead without really seeing anything. I kept repeating to myself that I was okay now and that I was stronger than this, I shouldn't let a guy be the end of my life. Today was a new day and a new me. It was a while before I realized that Elizabeth had put in a CD. One of her favorite songs came on as the third track. It was 'C'est La Vie' by BWitched. I was starting anew and I was doing it right this time so I thought why not sing along with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was a bit shocked that I was actually singing again at first but then she went with it and joined me. I felt a lot better after the song pulled to an end. I laughed as we pulled into the parking lot of the school and parked my car. When I turned off the engine Elizabeth grabbed my arm and I turned to look at her.
"I'm glad you're okay now," she whispered softly before opening her door and stepping out.
"I am too," I replied with a smile.
I pushed my own door open and stepped out of the car. Elizabeth went over to my side of the car as I closed the car door and waited for me to walk with her. We walked side by side across the parking lot ignoring the stares around us.
"Bella!" Alice yelled from behind me. I turned around just in time to receive the massive force of her hug. "Oh Bella, I'm so glad you're okay. I wanted to go see you but Henry didn't think that was a good idea so I didn't." Her voice was a bit muffled on my sleeve and she was talking almost too fast.
"Alice," I groaned struggling to free myself from her grip. "Alice, please let go of me. It's getting a bit uncomfortable." She loosened her grip and looked up to look at me. "What?" I asked wondering why she was staring at me like that.
"It's just that, Henry said you haven't said a full sentence all week. You seem fine to me," she muttered. I laughed and broke free of her hold.
"I'm great, Alice. There's no reason not to be. I'll see you later, okay?" I walked away towards the school but I could hear her muttering something behind me that I couldn't make out.
I took a deep breath just as the bell rang and headed to my first class. Take it one step at a time. You have nothing to worry about yet, you don't have to see him until lunch. That was what I thought before I felt a stone cold arm grab my wrist.
Author's Note: Bella has play rehearsal today so she will have to face Edward as Juliet on stage. How does that sound to you? Not a lot of things happen in this chap but it was just a transition chap. For those who find it hard to believe she can move on, she really hasn't but she's putting on a front.
