Memo: Sorry it took me so long to update- recently started another story...

Note: THANK YOU guys to all who reviewed- some of you guys actually guessed what I was probably was going to make the plot...

It helped-

It was funny though, lol- everyone wanted them to stay together!!

Sidenote: OHMIGOD!!- okay, for those people in America- you know for the whole entire elections thing, right?- It's ridiculous, my family didn't receive any reminder to vote or register or anything, and I checked with relatives, quite a few of them didn't either

The few who did, voted Republican two years ago...the those who didn't receive them voted Democrat!!- did anyone else notice this??

Disclaimer: No such thing!!

Bella's view-

Silently walking away, recovering myself, I seated myself at a bench in the park; my hands around my knees, rocking me back and forth.

I waited silently for him to approach, to live up to what he had said "This time, I'm gonna make it hard for you."

He had lied though apparently, he was never going to. I had left, and he wasn't coming...

Perhaps, I rejoiced, he had finally figured out the truth! That I wasn't good enough for him, that it would be best if he left me!! This way he could be happy, safe, and content!

I had already caused too much pain in the first place, and I didn't want to do it again.

The saddest part was however, that I wanted just so badly to accept, to be with him forever. Just the two of us.

That couldn't happen though, I knew, I had already turned him down.

Closing my eyes, and letting the tears flow freely down my face, I thought of Rosalie.

"Hey Rose," I had asked. "Can you send this to Charlie and Mom and everyone." I had handed her the money back.

"Nonsense Bella," she had replied. "I gave that to you. If you want though, I'll send them some more. You can believe me when I say that I've made more than enough to go along in my life. Almost 75 years of collecting gets you bored. With Emmet too..." she had trailed off.

"Well, thanks anyways," I had replied, still holding the money out. "Still take it though. I assure you that I want nothing to do with it. I still will pay you back for your generosity however. Bye then," I had said, putting the money on a counter when I left the room, leaving her puzzled.

"Hey Bella," she had called, coming after me. "Take my number. And you also, just to let you know, will have problems adjusting when it comes to the sleep counter. For about a year I think- or less depending on who knows what- you'll have the capability of sleeping, but probably no more than that. You won't need it, just to let you know," she had finished, handing me a paper which I assumed had her number on it. I had been right.

I remembered something more now- the look of puzzlement in her eyes, the generosity she had showed.

"Don't worry Bella," she had said when I thanked her for the money, "what are sisters for?"

"Sisters?" I asked, obviously confused at the moment.

She shrugged, smiling to herself. "Yeah," she nodded. "I guess we are now."

"So as sisters," I wanted to ask now, two and a half years later, "will you accept me now that I've turned down your brother?" I wanted to cry.

"Are you still there for me?"

My eyes still closed, I remembered her number. Everlasting memory apparently did have it's advantages.

Taking my phone out of my pocket blindly- thankful it was waterproof- I dialed the number instantly, putting the phone to my ear.

The phone brought instant relief to my ear, it's coolness calming me. The vibrations giving me a headache...taking my mind off of him.

Biting my lip, I trembled as I heard the first "Hello?"

"Rosalie?" I cried, squeezing my eyes shut harder. "It's me," I muttered, not bothering to say my name; it brought back too many memories.

"Bella?" she gasped as I winced.

"Yeah," I answered. "Did I bother you or anything?" I asked, hoping she'd say yes. "I'll hang up if you want me to Rosalie, if you don't want to hear my voice or anything, I'm sorry for-"

"Stop being such an idiot Bella," she laughed into the phone. Liar, I cried,I could hear her voice trembling. "Now why did you call?"

"I," I began, ":I-"

"What happened to Edward?" I heard a much gruffer, and harder voice into the phone now- Emmet. "What did he do to you?"

"Stop it Emmet,' I heard Rosalie hiss, "She'll tell us when she's ready, she-"

"He's fine Emmet," I began, "He-"

"What did he do to you?" Emmet asked again into the phone. "We've been trying to contact him forever, but he's not answering-"

"He didn't do anything Emmet," I interrupted, my voice suddenly hoarse. "Can you please hand it back to Rosalie?"

My hand was shaking around the phone, trying to near any source of comfort.

"Sorry about him Bella," she started. "Don't worry, I'll slap him for you later," she laughed. "But-"

"He proposed Rosalie," I cried, clenching my other hand into a fist. "At DisneyWorld too...Japan," I clarified. "I turned him down Rose," my throat made into a knot, "I-"

"Bella, I'm sorry," she started. "I don't think I'm the right person for this. Bella, I'm sorry, but I-"

I didn't bother listening to the rest though.

I needed comfort, and not an excuse.

Body trembling, I called the only other number I could for support.

My mother.

Rosalie's point of view-

"Why did you do that Rose?" Emmet asked beside me, curious to why I turned her down.

I sighed at his utter simplicity, and ignored him.

"I mean," he said, "you could have given it to Alice. She just turned down Edward you know," he started, "you should have at least done something Not left her like you did. She-"

"Shut up Emmet," I rolled my eyes. "Only she can help her self through this. She doesn't need my advice for this. It's her own decision, not one I can make for her."

'Why?" he asked, persistant.

"You're not a girl Emmet," I sighed again, "you wouldn't get it."

Thankfully, he shut up. To me it didn't make sense why I did that either, in truth, but I knew it was best for her.

She could only make this decision by herself, and I couldn't put any intake on it.

It wasn't for me to make. It was her own decision, her own actions, and she had to get herself through it.

It was, besides the point, the only way I had gotten Emmet.

She had to follow her heart, as dead as it may be, and help make her go through this

(Note: she's NOT selfish, she's just trying to make Bella make her own decision)

Renee's view-

Gardening was not an easy task, I sighed. The amount of weeds that I had to get rid of, basically told me that flowers weren't worth it.

I had no idea how people did this.

Breathing in again, I pulled out another weed, straining my neck.

A quartet of dafodils weren't worth two hours of almost breaking my disc...

"Phil," I cried, not caring that he had a game in two hours. He could wait, I couldn't. "I need help!"

"Just give me a minute," he barked from the kitchen, on the phone. It was the reason I loved him, ever since Bella- I gulped- left, he was constantly by my side. "There's someone on the phone for you," he said. "One of your girlfriends probably, I think," he clarified.

"Tell her to call back later," I gasped, struggling to pull a weed out.

"She's crying," he cringed, "really loud."

"Oh,' I let go, and turned to face him, "it'll take a minute. You can do this for a bit."

"No problem," he walked over and pecked my cheek. "Take as long as you want."

"Hello?" I said into the phone. "Who is it?"

"Mom?" a voice whispered into the phone, "It's me."

I froze, my breath caught in my throat, and began to cry.

"Don't call here again," I cried. "I lost a daughter already- there's no need for anyone to remind me! You bi-"

"Mom," the voice tried again. "It's me Mom, I'm alive."

"Bella?" I gasped, my face crumpling.

Phil, who I noticed was watching me, suddenly became furious.

"We can't have these calls anymore," he shouted, his face blown up and red. He lunged for the phone, but I moved out of the way.

"One minute Phil,' I whispered, "give me a minute."

"Why are you doing this to me?" I whispered into the phone, "can't you just leave me alone?"

"Mom," she tried again, "Alice saved from the crash Mom, all those years ago. It's me- for real mom, it's Bella," she said.

"My Bella died two and a half years ago," I snapped, my heart pounding against my ribs. "She-"

"Alice saved me," she said. "I love you Mom," she said, "I would never lie to you."

"Bella?" I cracked, my voice hoarse and bare. I couldn't breathe...It was her.

"Yeah Mom,' she laughed silently, "I've missed you so much. I'm in Japan right now, don't ask why though. I-"

"I've missed you so much Bella," I cried, panicking. Bella was alive! "What happened to you?"

"Edward found me," she whispered. "In India."

"India?" I asked, trying to make small talk. "What were you doing in India?"

"I was a God," she laughed. Bella's laugh, I noted...having not heard it in so long..."The God actually," she laughed.

"Ohmigod Bella," I gasped, realization finally hitting me. "You weren't trafficked were you? Ohmigod Bella! I just watched Human trafficking sweetie on Lifetime- it was awful! How did you escape?"

"Relax Mom," she sighed, "I'm fine. I wasn't trafficked. Um, Mom, I can explain when I get there."

"Oh Bella," I sobbed into the phone, my heart sputtering.."I've missed you so much Honey. So much."

The line went dead.

Bella's view-

An arm wrapped around my waist, and I froze, shutting off the phone as soon as I realized who it was.

Opening my eyes for the first time in five minutes, I looked over to see Edward next to me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, silently.

"Here," he said, and handed me a card and a pamphlet. "There's about four thousand, give or take, in cash with your tickets. Keep the card for my bank account if you need more," he explained next to me, smiling.

"Aren't you mad," I asked, "that I turned you down?"

"I can't force you into anything," he shrugged. "Perhaps you're right. Perhaps we-"

"Give me seventy-five days," I gasped, feeling the tears start again. Why was he so great?

"Two and a half months," he chuckled. "Should have guessed."

"Yeah," I smiled, happy that he figured it out.

"Take as long as you need,' he shrugged. "I can wait. I-"

"Thank you Edward," I smiled, standing up.

"Don't be," he whispered, reaching for my face. "I'll wait as long as you need Bella, never forget that."

"I have to go Edward," I whispered, turning around and stepping back. "I-"

"Bye," he grinned crookedly. The one I loved so much..."I'll-"

Taking another step, I turned to kiss him on the cheek. "I'll be eternally grateful," I whispered, and left.

Edward's point of view-

"And I'll be eternally waiting," I finished.

I didn't think she'd heard though. She was gone.
