Authors note- I am skipping some years. go read it

Bella 18 turning 19 the next day

They day was coming for me in two days. It was staring me in the face. Charlie has been excited for about a month now. I found that sick. I hate him he hates me and everything works out. The past three years have been a thrill trying to fit all the time I have with Edward. He is still my best friend. Well one thing changed.. He got a girlfriend. No I don't care. Okay maybe I do. I guess it seems I am jealous, and I am. Did I mention I love him? Not like a brother, this was different. But I had my chance. He belongs to somebody else. I had two minutes before he would be here

I got out of the house and saw a silver Volvo waiting for me on the drive way. I got it and smiled.

"Hey". I said

"Hello" he smiled back at me.

"So...Where are we going?" I asked

"Where do we always go" he challenged

The beach

"Oh." The rest of the ride was quiet we pulled up to the beach and Edward opened my door for me.

Always the gentlemen. He grabbed my hand and we walked along the beach. We walked like that until the sun went down.

I sat down in the sand and looked at the sky. Edward sat next to me.

"I'm going to miss you Bella." He said breaking the silence

"I'm going to miss you to. But what other choice do I have. I don't want to say goodbye." I looked down

"I knew this was coming. Just never thought time would go by so fast.' He whispered

"Edward " I sighed "Edward, You will always be number one, Always have been. I going away will never change that. I promise."

After that we said nothing. He drove me home. I saw Charlie at the television. He never paid attention and I stopped caring. I got upstairs and went to bed. I had a big day tomorrow.

When I woke up I felt another body in my bed. Actually many body's. I opened my eyes and saw everyone on my bed. Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Edward.

"Wakey, Wakey sweetheart." Alice said

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY." They all said at the same time

"Yeah what a birthday." I muttered

The day went on with them saying they will miss me and that made things harder. I now knew where I was headed tonight.

It was 8:00. Charlie said I had to be out by 8:30. Everything was packed and I was ready to go. Alice kept dragging my bags out of my car, and Rose unloaded them. They obviously didn't want me to leave, But I had no choice.

"Guy's he wants me out okay. I have ten minutes. If I am not out I don't know what he would do, and I do not intend to find out." I said

They put on sad faces and packed my stuff in my blue Toyota corolla.

I gave them each a hug telling them I would see them in a few years. I finally got to Edward.

He came up to me and gave me a tight hug. I felt tears on my shoulder. I have never seen him cry.

"Bella. I am going to miss you so much." He cried

"I know." I sobbed into his chest. "We got to be strong okay." I said. He nodded

I pulled back and looked at my watch. 8:27.

"I have to go now." I whispered. I gave Edward one last hug and got in my car.

I hate him. I hate Charlie for putting me through this. It was his fault I had to leave. He said if I am not out I was going to regret it. I don't want to know what he would do.

I drove and drove. I cried and I couldn't stop. I drove for four days barely making stops and I reached my destination.

New York.

Bella age 22

Today was my birthday, and the anniversary of leaving my life behind. I went to college and got a degree in literature. I am a writer now. I work at times newspaper, and I have great paying job and my life turned over. I was depressed most of the time. But It got better. I walked through my house and put my keys on the counter. I went to my beached themed bedroom and layed down (A/N: Bedroom theme link on profile). I lived in a apartment complex (Link on profile) It was very nice. i bought it after I got my job. I got paid alot and it was gorgeous. My kitchen was pretty big (link on profile) It had wooden cabinets. and nice appliances. My family room was my favorite( link in profile). In the back on the apartment complex there is a view of all the buldings it is gorgeous. (the view link in profile). I am happy.

I dance. I go to clubs sometimes. People know me there. I am very clumsy but I can dance. The week was coming to a close and I was planning on flying to California to see everybody. I havent heard a word from them. But that was good because it made it easier to let go. I was excited to see them all Edward most of all.

It was finally friday. I just got off of the plain and I saw Alice. She ran up to me full seed and screamed while hugging me. Everyone looked but we didnt care.
