Hey Guys. I'm really sorry that my chapters are so short. I will try to make them longer in the future.

Edward & Bella
Forgive and Forget
Chapter 2
(Edward's POV, present)
"What do you want Rosalie." I hissed into the phone, leaning back against the tree I had been sitting in.
"Edward, you haven't been answering any of our calls! What's wrong with you! Esme is going crazy, and Alice has tried to go see Bella-" I cut her off.
"Don't say her name." I growled. I could almost hear her eyes roll.
"Whatever Edward. Alice has tried to go see her, twice already! You need to come home." I could hear them all converging around Rosalie, listening to what I was saying.
"Edward! You need to get your ass back here! This is all your fault!" I heard Alice scream. Her voice sounded hoarse, like she had been crying. I also heard Jasper murmuring comforting words to her.
"Son?" I heard Carlisle's voice, and I took in a deep breath, even though I didn't need it.
"I can't come home Carlisle." I said, letting that breath out.
"Edward, look-" I cut him off.
"I. Can't. Come. Back." Just before I closed the phone, I heard Esme break into hysterics. I slammed it shut, squeezing my hand around it, turning it to dust.
(Bella's POV, present)
I called Jake the next morning, five times. The first three times, Billy answered, and told me that Jake was sleeping. The last two times, the phone just rang, and I left a message at the end, right after the beep.
"Bella, are you alright?" I heard Charlie call from outside my bedroom door.
"Yeah dad, I'm fine." I called out, cursing myself for how hoarse my voice was. I heard him knock again.
"Bella, what's wrong?" He asked, and I could tell he was beginning to worry.
"Nothing dad, I'm fine!" I croaked. "I think I'm sick, that's all. I'm staying home today." I heard his sigh, and walk away from the door.
"Yeah, I wish I was sick…." I muttered to myself, as I let the tears fall softly down my cheeks.
(Jacob's POV, 2 years earlier)
"They're gone!!" The tribe yelled over the roar of the bonfires. I just rolled my eyes, and grabbed another hot dog.
"Yeah, woot woot…" I muttered, scarfing that one down as well. My father had stayed home. In his wheel chair, he couldn't make it the far up the cliffs. I offered to carry him, but no, he was to proud for that…
Was this a good thing? I thought about that. The Cullens weren't really that bad. I mean, Carlisle was an amazing doctor, and their "adopted" kids never made any trouble. And Bella. They left Bella here. She would be distraught. I thought about that as well. Was I glad that he left? I wasn't sure. But…. Bella. She would need someone to lean on, a shoulder to cry on. She is going to be broken. Does that matter to me?
No, no it doesn't.
