It was so strange waking up from the pain and realizing that I was now a vampire, but what was even stranger was that Edward wasn't there. None of the Cullen's were besides Emmett. It hurt so bad to find out that Edward had left me again. He knew I would need him to get through this, but he left anyway. Apparently Emmett had been pretty angry at Edward for his decision and decided to stay, and help me out.

So for the past century and a half Emmett and I have been moving from place to place going to high school when they would allow us to sign up without a parent, and college when they wouldn't. I have learned so many things I had never even thought about in my human life, but I didn't care. Going to school was just how I passed the time. We went by the last name of Taylor, and said we were brother and sister. He usually pretended to be a year older than me.

We both had good days and bad days, after all both of us had lost the most important people in our lives. Emmett would often be gone for days at a time, usually hunting, but I preferred to stay in my room when I was having a bad day. I'd sit there and sob tearlessly as I thought of Edward and wondered why he had left me again. It was hard, but most of the time I was able to live (haha) with it.

We've lived all over the country, and we went to England once. We figure it's been long enough, and people won't remember the Cullen's or the Swan's anymore, and so we're returning to Forks, Washington. I'm going to be a junior, and he's going to be a senior. We figure we'll stay for a couple years, and then we'll go start a new life somewhere else. Hopefully Forks won't be as hazardous to me now as it was when I was human.

Emmett thinks coming back will be a good way to help both of us move on. I agree to an extent. I think it will help become more at peace with the others leaving, even though we won't be able to completely forget about it.

Today we arrived in Seattle, and found an apartment just outside of Forks where we are going to be staying for the next few years. Tomorrow is our "first" day at Fork's High, and we're both hoping it will be a good one. Then we are planning on going hunting on Friday. This is our normal routine. Go to school during the week. Hunt during the weekend. It all works out, but I must say I'm beginning to realize why Edward didn't want me to live this life. It's very lonely, and very boring. If I had him it wouldn't be. Emmett said once that he had never realized how dull the life of a mate-less vampire is.

AN: I almost left it here. Very short, but it was all I really had for this chapter. So this is actually what was going to be chapters one and two, but oh well….

Forks High. I hated it here. We had been back for a year now, and everywhere I went reminded me of Bella. Everything was different, it had been a hundred and fifty years after all, but I hadn't thought it would be that different. Our house was gone. Torn down with the rest of the forest that had once been my safe haven. The meadow is gone. I don't know what is in its place; I didn't even want to know. Alice had a vision of me trying to find it and being torn to pieces when I couldn't, and so I didn't even look for it.

I was walking out to my car with Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie when Alice just stopped. It was clear she had seen something, but I didn't know what. I looked at her questioningly and she continued to walk again. "Two new vampires will be joining us at school today." Was all Alice said, but she was grinning, and it made me wonder what was really going on.

"Don't even think about it Edward. This is going to be a nice surprise. I promise." She thought as we got into the car; Alice and Jasper in the back seat, Rosalie and I in the front. I drove at over a hundred miles per hour, and we reached school a few moments later. I got out of the car along with the others, and we all headed to our home rooms.

My first class was English. I walked into the classroom and sat down at my seat looking around the room to see if one of the new vampires happened to be in the class. There weren't very many kids in the room yet, but I could see who Alice had been talking about already. He was coming in the door, and I almost gasped when I saw him.

Emmett didn't even look at me as he walked across the room and over to the teacher handing him a piece of paper. I knew what that was for, I had had many of them before. Today was Emmett's first day. This teacher wouldn't introduce him. She pointed him to the empty seat right behind me, and he came and sat down.

"Hey bro." Emmet thought menacingly. I winced and turned to face him.

"Emmett. Bella's here isn't she?" I asked as the bell for class rang. He didn't answer, but I knew she was. He wouldn't have left her alone. No that was what I did. I turned to face the front of the room and pretend to pay attention while I waited for class to be over.

Emmett met me in the hall outside of my homeroom, and we walked together pretending to be looking for our next class. He had something very important to tell me, and I knew this would change how my day went. We walked, and he seemed to be thinking about how to word whatever he had to say.

"Bella, I don't know if you're going to want to stay here after what I saw." He started.

"Ok, what did you see? I don't think we should leave, it couldn't have been that bad." I said.

"Oh but it was Bells." Emmett said. "I walked into my homeroom, and the teacher directed me to a seat right behind another vampire."

"So there are other vampires here." I interrupted him, "That's no reason to leave."

"No, but the fact that the vampire was my brother might be."

"Edward?" I said and swallowed hard. I didn't want to feel as terrible as I did. It had been a hundred and fifty years. I should have gotten over him by now, but I hadn't.

Emmett just nodded and I shook my head. "We're not leaving." I said, "But we're not going to be friends with them either." I could tell he didn't like what I was saying, and so I changed my mind slightly.

"We won't be friends with Edward, how about that?" I said and he grinned. He was finally going to see Rosalie again.

EBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEBEB

I sighed as I walked to lunch, Emmett by my side. I wanted nothing more than to disappear. I was going to see Edward for the first time since I had become a vampire. Emmett was beside himself with excitement. Rosalie was right there within his reach, and he was going to have her back now. I realized this might mean that I would be alone for the rest of eternity wandering the globe with no one but myself to keep me company.

We walked into the cafeteria, and I saw them immediately. Mainly because Alice was standing up, scanning the room for us. She saw us, and she ran (with human speed) over and hugged me. I smiled at her and hugged her back. My best friend was here.

"Oh Bella!" she squealed looking at me as we walked towards the others "I can't believe you're here, and Emmett!" she said hugging her brother. We reached the table, and I watched from the side as Emmett was reunited with his family. Rosalie hugged him so tight I didn't think they would be able to go the rest of the day without each other. Jasper hugged me and said how glad he was that I was back, and that he had been furious with Edward for leaving me. I smiled and hugged him. Rosalie didn't look at me. She had reason to hate me now, and I understood. I was the reason she hadn't seen her husband for over a century.

Edward sat at the table glaring down at his food the whole time. I was smiling, but I couldn't help looking at him. I sighed and decided I had to leave. I couldn't stand being this close to him. It hurt too much.

"Hey Emmett, I'm gonna go. I'll see you later ok?" I said as he sat down with the others. He looked at Edward and then back at me and nodded. I knew he wanted to be with Rosalie tonight so I told him not to come back to our apartment. He smiled gratefully and I left.

As I was walking out to my car I heard something that made me turn around. "Bella." The angelic voice said and I sighed again.

"Don't Edward." I said turning away from him and continuing to my car. He grabbed my wrist and turned me around.

"Bella I need to talk to you. Please?" he asked pleadingly.

I gave in. It was the only thing I could do. "Fine." I said "Get in." I motioned to the passenger door to my car.

AN: Guys I'm sorry it's kinda short. I've been camping all weekend and just had time to sit down and write this today. If you're also reading my other story please know that it might be a while before I get around to writing more of it. I'm stuck, and it's summer so I've been enjoying my time with my friends. Ok?

Tell me what you guys thought of this chapter. What do you think should happen next?
