Okay sorry it is taking me so long to update. I have been going through some personal shit. But, I am going to sit here and channel all my hate for my now ex and the world around me into my stories. I will have a lot more time to write for a short bit here. I am not normally one for these long messages that people really could care less about, but you all deserve to know why I haven't been updating. But, I am back now and stronger than ever.

Bella POV

I sat at the kitchen counter looking out the kitchen window. Alex was sitting out on the swing with some boy she met in her English class. I was trying to keep a close eye on them, but every few seconds my eyes wondered to the clock next to me. It was nearly four and I hadn't heard for Charlotte. I was about to dial her number when the doorbell rang. I got up and walked to the entry way. I was surprised to see Nate standing there. "Nate you don't come around here much anymore." I said as I smiled at him.

"Mrs. C I was here three days ago." He said as he looked at me.

"Right… it seems so much longer than that. Come in." I said as I opened the door up more. "What can I do for you?" I asked him.

"Can I borrow your Wi-Fi? I am supposed to video chat with my soon to be roommate and our internet has been acting up." He said as he held up his laptop for me to see.

"Sure, make yourself at home." I said as I looked at him. "You want something to eat?" I asked him as I walked back into the kitchen. He just sat down where I was sitting before.

"That you be great if you don't mind." He said as he looked at me.

"I never do." I said as I smiled at him. "So are you looking forward to starting school?" I asked him.

"Eh, school is school." He said as she looked up from the computer for a minute.

"Have you heard from Charlotte today?" I asked him.

"Yeah she called me this morning. She was going out sightseeing." He said as he fiddled with his computer. "She said something about going up in a helicopter." He said as he looked up for a second.

"Carlisle!" I yelled as I walked towards the staircase. I walked up to his office he was on the phone. He just held up his finger telling me to wait a minute.

"That sounds fun princess. Call me later." He said before he hung up.

"Was that your daughter?" I asked him.

"When did she become my daughter?" He asked as he got up.

"When she called you and not me. Do you know what she is planning to do today?" I asked him.

"She is taking a helicopter tour." He said as he looked at me.

"And you are okay with that?" I asked him.

"Relax." He said as he smiled at me.

"Something happens to my baby, I swear to god … I will cut off your dick." I said as I looked at him.

"Okay." He said as he wrapped his arms around me.

Nate POV

It was odd sitting in the Cullen's kitchen alone. I could picture Charlie there. She would always hop up on the counter and just smile at me. She would sit right between there fruit bowl and the iPod dock. When I would say something stupid she would throw an apple at me. It was here in this kitchen she told me about her 'curse'. Her words not mine. To me there is nothing wrong with her.

I just smiled weakly as I saw her smiling face on my Facebook wall. She had posted all the pictures from her trip so far this morning. I browsed through them as I waited for Bryan to get online. She was happy you could tell it. How could I be so upset about this when she was so happy? I looked though all the pictures before closing out the page and checking my emails. There was an email from Charlie. She sent me a video. I was in awe as I opened it.

"Hey there Sweets, I don't know when you are going to get this. You have never been good at checking your emails, but I just had something I wanted to say to you. First off, SMILE!" She was smiling and laughing as she said that last part she was sitting on a sofa in what I assumed was her hotel room. "Second, I know it doesn't seem like it right now. But, I will always love you Cowboy. Enjoy." She said as she picked up her guitar. "I've been a walking heartache…" She sang. (God Gave Me You, Blake Shelton)

"Hey there Nate, what are you doing… oh am I ruining a moment here?" Emmett asked as he walked into the room. I just smiled at him as I listened to Charlie.

"You're sister is amazing you know that right." I said as I looked at him.

"Yeah she gets that from Bella." He said with a laugh. "Are you regretting not going with her?" He asked as he looked at me.

"What are you Dr. Phil?" I asked as I looked at him.

"I have been watching a lot of Dr. Phil this summer. Rose got a new project." He said as he got a soda out of the fridge. "Now answer the question." He said as my video chat popped up.

"Yo dude." Bryan said as his face popped up.

"Hey man." I said as I looked at the screen.

"Hey let me in on this." Emmett said as he looked at the computer.

"Who is the big guy?" Bryan asked. Bryan was a super geek if I had ever seen one. We had been chatting since we got the room assignment.

"This is Emmett." I said as I pointed to Emmett.

"Also known as Dr. Phil." Emmett said with a laugh before he walked away.

"Is he like your brother?" Bryan asked.

"No way. He is my … exs brother." I said as I looked at him. It killed me to call Charlie an ex.

"Weird…anyways so I looked on your Facebook trying to get to know you better. I have one question who is the hot blonde and is she single?" He asked with a laugh.

"You can't date Charlie." I said as I looked at the computer.

"Why?" Bryan asked.

"Because he still LOVES her!" Emmett yelled across the room.

"Emmett why don't you go fuck yourself or something?" I asked him.

"Because you're like a brother to me and I am giving you some brotherly advice. Get on a damn plane and go get her." He said as he looked at me.

"Am I in the middle of something?" Bryan asked.

"No." I said as I looked at him.

"Okay look here dude, play him the video." Emmett said as he looked at me. "He would tell you the same thing. OSU or traveling around the world with the love of your life? It's not a hard decision." Emmett said as he looked at me.

"What?" Bryan asked. I could tell he was lost.

"It's nothing it's not like I could afford to pick up and take a plane to L.A. And if I could want am I supposed to do drop to one knee and pull out this tiny little diamond ring I bought or her?" I asked. "Charlie deserves better than that."

"That's it you're listening to Bella's story." Emmett said as he looked at the computer. "Nice talk." He said before he exited out of the window. "Don't make me carry you." He said as he walked towards the stairs.

Charlotte POV

I was still on the high from the helicopter ride as I sat down at dinner with my sister and James. He was like an uncle to us. He was the one who helped make my mother's career. "I can't believe that you are so big." James said as he looked at me.

"Well, I was what seven the last time you came to visit?" I asked as I looked at him.

"Yeah well you know the music business keeps me busy." He said as he smiled at me.

"Right." Sydney said as my phone went off. "Seriously … let me guess it's Cowboy?" She asked as she looked at me. I looked at the name and smiled. "Just go home to him." She said as I answered the phone.

"Hey sweets." I said as I got up from the table.

"I got your video." He said on the other line.

"I knew you would." I said as I walked outside.

"I miss you." He said.

"I miss you too." I said as I watched cars rush by. "I meant every word I said before." I said as I looked in the window of the restaurant.

"Did you know that your father gave your mother an engagement ring that was less than a hundred dollars because he didn't want money to seem like a factor in their relationship?" He asked with a laugh.

"They told you the story. God I feel for you." I said as I looked around.

"Yeah well… I'll live." He said. I sat outside for a good thirty minutes talking to him before I went back in. Sydney and James were almost done with dessert when I came back to the table.

"You know when your mother left town after their almost wedding he had to go track her down." James said as he looked at me.

"What point are you getting at here?" I asked him.

"Go home and tell the boy you still want him." He said as he looked at me.

"There is more to it than that." I said as I looked at him.

"No there isn't. You are freaking out about holding him back, but bitch your just holding yourself back." Sydney said as she looked at me.

"Did you just call me a bitch?" I asked her.

"What are you going to call mom?" She asked.

"No, I am going to tell her when I land." I said as I got up. "I will call you and tell you what to do with my stuff." I said as I started to walk away.
