Recap: (The bolded stuff is new)

After waking up on a Sunday morning, Bella decides she is going to stop by the Cullens, since they were supposed to return from a hunting trip that morning. Of course, she is greeted by Alice who is a little more exuberant then usual. Bella assumes it was due to a vision, but Alice refused to tell her what it was about. Edward then tells Bella that Alice had been chipper like that all weekend. After talking for a while, Bella gets a call from Jessica, asking her to baby-sit her little sister, while she was on a date with Mike. After Edward made fun of her, saying she'd probably drop the kid, she agreed to the job, just to prove Edward wrong. Then Bella goes home to have dinner with her father and the Blacks. Realizing that she had no cheese, Bella jumped into the car to pick some up from a store. On her way though, a traffic jam caused by a fatal car accident stopped her. After looking closely, she realizes that the mangled car involved was Edward's Volvo. Not knowing if vampires can die or not, she rushes to the Cullens, praying that her love is alive.

I pulled into the Cullen's driveway in record time. Well, record time for my old geezer of a truck. I cut the engine, and hopped out, quickly making my way to the door, knocking on it, hands still shaking. I needed Edward to be there. I needed to feel his cold, stone-like arms around me. I needed him to be alright. If vampires could die, and I had lost Edward forever, I didn't know what I would do.

The door swung open, and Alice pulled me into a sisterly hug. Oh no. "Edward," I stammered, getting right to the point, "Where is he?"

Alice frowned, and pulled me inside. "You saw the crash site." It wasn't a question.

I'm pretty sure my heart stopped. She was frowning. If he was okay, wouldn't she be laughing at my unnecessary concern? "Yes." I said; my voice still shaky.

She didn't say anything right away. That scared me. She was still looking at me, with that frown still plastered across her face.

"Oh no Alice," my voice didn't even sound like my own, it has raised an octave, and was still trembling. "Alice, just tell me where he is. He is here right? Oh God Alice, a car crash can't kill a vampire can it?" My voice raised another octave, sounding as if I were on the verge of hysterics. "I mean, you killed James, so it has to be possible, but…" I trailed off; I couldn't bear to say the words. "It's not that easy, is it?"

Alice sighed, pulling me into another hug. "Calm down, Bella." She was rubbing my back soothingly, and it was rather comforting. I never realized how sisterly she was. But did she really expect me to calm down?

"Calm down," I breathed, "How can I calm down, when you won't answer my question?"

"He's okay Bella," she said. "It's not that easy."

I only responded by squeezing her tighter, and sobbing into her shoulder.

"He's in his room," she said, releasing her hold on me, and I let go of her in return. I wiped away my tears, and smiled weakly at her, in appreciation. She smiled back, ruffling my hair slightly. "I didn't mean to scare you," she whispered. "I keep forgetting you're only human, that there are still a few things you don't know."

I nodded, "It's alright," I patted her shoulder, "Thanks Alice." And with that, I dashed up the stairs as quickly as I could, of course tripping once or twice. The second I saw his door, I dashed inside.

Edward was sitting, cross-legged, on his couch, his head buried in his hands. The second he heard me, or smelled me, he glanced at me, frowning at my sullen appearance.

At the sight of him, I practically leaped into his lap, and hid my face in his shoulder. In return, he wrapped his arms around my waist. I inhaled into his neck, breathing in his scent, too beautiful for any cologne to capture. A few tears escaped my eyes, and fell softly to his shoulder. "I thought I lost you," I murmured after a moment.

He shook his head, and kissed my hair. "A simple car accident isn't going to hurt me," he seemed almost amused at my ignorance.

"A simple accident?" I exclaimed, pulling away, only far enough away to see his face. "Your car was wrapped around a tree, and then it exploded! That's not simple!"

He winced. "It exploded?" he asked. "Poor Volvo…"

I smacked his arm, "Poor Volvo?" I asked, my tone serious, "I see my boyfriend's car, crashed into a tree, then watch it explode, and think that I lost him forever, and you're saying poor Volvo? The pain the Volvo was going through certainly wasn't on the top of my fears list."

"Oh, Bella…" he pulled me into his chest. "I didn't know that you had seen the accident, if I had, I would have called, at least. I thought you were eating with the Blacks?"

I sighed, "I was making lasagna, and we were out of cheese. I had to run to the store, and there was quite a traffic jam. When I saw your car, I didn't know what to think. I didn't know if vampires could die like that. I told Charlie, and then drove here as fast as I could. I didn't want to believe it, but the back of my mind was telling me to."

"Silly Bella," he squeezed me gently, "Vampires aren't that easily killed." I saw him smirk, but then his face was suddenly serious. He picked me up bridal style, and carried me down the stairs, sitting me on the couch. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie were sitting in the living room, their eyes glued to the news on the giant screen TV.

"…the accident caused a large traffic jam, as well." The woman anchor announced, "The driver of the moving truck is in Forks general hospital, and is in critical condition. The driver of the Volvo however, has been pronounced dead. The carnage of the accident destroyed the car, and there are no traces of the young driver's body. Edward Cullen, a senior at Forks high, was seventeen years old."

Although Edward was sitting next to me, his arm draped around my shoulders, I couldn't help but shudder at the announcer's words, as the whole Cullen family, and myself, gaped at the screen.

"We have to leave," a male voice suddenly said from behind us. I turned my head to see Carlisle and Esme standing behind us. "There's no way that Edward could just pop out unscathed."

"And where would we go?" Rosalie snapped. "Good going Edward, now we have to leave because you couldn't keep your eyes on the road."

Edward glowered, "Be quiet Rosalie," he retorted, "I don't see you following the laws of the road."

"Rosalie is right about one thing though," Alice piped in, trying to avoid the fight. "Where would we go? The weather here is perfect, where else can we go where the sun never shines?"

Rosalie snorted, "Why don't we just stay here, and grieve our dear brother," she eyed Edward rudely. "Why should we have to suffer because he's an irresponsible driver?"

Jasper rolled his eyes, "Rosalie, shut up," he said, "It's not Edward's fault. He was hit, remember?"

Emmett punched his arm, not with his full strength, but not playfully either. "Don't you talk to my wife like that. Besides, if Alice would have warned us, this would have never happened." He shot Alice a rude look.

Alice's jaw dropped, "So you're blaming this on me?" she sneered humorlessly.

"You bet," Emmett retorted menacingly.

Jasper jumped up, "Hey, you can't talk to her like that either." He yelled at Emmett.

"Enough!" Carlisle boomed, silencing the room. I had never seen him this angry. I had never even really seen him yell. He was always so calm, and collected. "It was an accident, no one is at fault."

Esme sighed, "You should all just be happy that Edward is okay," she said sweetly, laying a hand on Edward's shoulder. That was Esme alright, always concerned and motherly.

"I second that," I agreed. Edward chuckled, and pulled me closer, and Rosalie glared at me.

"I suppose that wherever we go, she will be coming?" she asked, venom dripping from every word, she glowered at me again, and I had to look away from her beautiful, intense eyes.

Edward growled, "Yes," he sneered. "As long as she wants to, of course." He added lightly, eyeing me.

I gave him a 'are you crazy' look, "I told you, I will always want to be where you are." I smiled, "Wherever that may be."

Alice beamed, "Good answer," she received a glare from Rosalie, but no one else seemed opposed to me tagging along. I smiled at the reaction I got from the Cullens. Everyone but Rosalie wanted me to be a part of their family.

He smiled, satisfied with the response from his family and me, and turned to Carlisle. "Where, might I ask, will it be?"

He sighed, "Denali." He replied, "The only other place that has weather like Forks is in Oregon, that's way too close to here. Denali is the only other perfect place."

Rosalie snorted, "Great, just great." She rolled her eyes. "Now we have to go back to being Eskimos."

Alice sighed, "Rosalie, stop complaining. You and Emmett can stay here if you'd like."

"Fine," she snapped, "Emmett and I can stay here. You guys go move across the country."

Emmett groaned, "Hey, I want to go." He replied, frowning at his wife "I happen to like Denali, and I want to stay with the family." He offered me a friendly look. "All of it."

Rosalie growled, "Fine then, I'm going to go pack, but—"she shot me a glare,"—don't expect me to have any family bonding with her" She snapped her head around, and darted up the stairs, to her bedroom. She hated me. I didn't get it, what did I ever do to her?
