Edwards POV-

We looked everywhere for Alex. She was gone. Jasper and Emmett searched outside while Alice and I looked for somthing in her room.

"Her backpack's gone." Alice said. Great. Another running away in the making. Emmett and Jasper came back and said she covered her tracks pretty well. Thye couldn't track her down.

"Edward!" I heard Bella yell. I into our room and she was holding a piece of paper.

"She's nowhere! She even covered her tracks." She haned me the paper and I read it. (AN- I'm not going to repeat the letter just FYI) "She left? Why does she think she'll be gone so long?"

"I don't know but, there's really nothing we can do right now but, go on. Let her do this."

"Bella!" I snapped. How could she say there was nothing we could do? She's our daughter and were just gonna act like nothing happened?

"Edward she has to do this. You saw what happened to Jake she's right. What if next time someone gets killed! What if it's Abigal too? What then?" I didn't say anything. I looked at the floor and thought. She could of let us help her get things under control. She could of practiced on us, well if it wasn't anything dangerous but still.

"I just don't see why she could let us help-"

"Edward!" She snapped. I looked up at her. "For once you need to have faith in your daughter and believe in her. All this time you've been going over board being the protective father. Now she's 18, she's a mother, she grown up Edward. Let her do this on her own. We've been there for her every step of the way...no it's her turn." I just looked at her. I took in the word she said. I grabbed the box Alex left and opened it. I looked at the golden star locket. It was nice. Somthing I'm sure she worked hard to get.

"I guess we'll be holding onto this until she get's back then." I said looing down at the necklace. I closed the box and out back on the table. Bella and I walked down stairs. Everyone else was in the living room. When we got back there we past the note around. Jacob was the last to read it.

"She didn't even say goodbye." He said. She never does. She just leaves like she did now.

"This is her way of saying goodbye." Emmett said.

"She could of said it to us."

"She's never been good at it." Alice said. "When she leaves she always writes a letter. She never says goodbye to someone's face."

"Why?"

"We don't know." Jasper said.

"She just never has." Bella said. She looked out the window. I could tell she was jsut as worried as I was. I grabbed her hand and she looked at me. She just smiled. It was that smile she put on when she was nervious and worried.

"We're all worried Bella." Rosalie said.

"I know."

"It's natural to be. She's your daughter, but don't worry. She'll be just fine." Carlise said.

"So what are we going to do?" Jacob asked.

"We go on with our lives, until Alex get's back." Carlise said.

"What!" Jacob jolted up from the couch.

"Jacob be quiet you'll wake Abigal." Esme said.

"Well you guys all expect me to just go on like nothing happened?"

"No we expect you to stay calm and wait like the rest of us." I said.

"We have to take care of Abby. You're her father remember?"

"I know but I can't just stay here while Alex is out there by herself! What if somthing happened to her?"

"Jacob!" Bella yelled and he looked at her. "Don't you think we're all worried about her? Like Carlise said she'll be fine."

"How do you know?"

"Because it's Alex." Rosalie said. "If she get's hurt she'll heal with in the next few seconds, if she get's attacked, by a human or vampire, she can fight them off or simply run away. She can conpell them as well. You know how effective it it." Jacob didn't say anything.

"Bella will you watch Abby please?"

"Course." Then she stormed out of the house. Bella turned to Rosalie. "I don't think I've ever heard you say somthing that nice about anyone." We all laughed but Rose just gave her a glare.

Jacob's POV-

I ran out in the forest. I couldn't believe she just up and left without even talking to me! It's like I was nothing! Went to the that meadow. Where I first saw her. Then I remebered that Victoria was still alive as far as I knew. What if she found her! What then?

I understand leaving everyone else but I don't understand as to why she would leave Abigal? I mean she's her whole world! We could have helped her with her powers. She didn't have to leave. There has to be somthing else. Was it Trey? Was it because he was hunting her down or somthing?

I walked to Sam's house. The guys were getting back from patrol.

"Hey Jake." Embry said.

"Hey man." Seth said. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I was just trying to clam down."

"What happened?" Jared asked.

"Alex left tonight. Like out of nowhere she just packed up and left without a word."

"Are you serious?" Embry asked. I shook my head.

"What'd she leave?" Paul asked.

"To get her powers under control. She doesn't know when she'll be back."

"I'm so sorry man." Seth said.

"Well Jake if you need to you can always stay here." Sam offered.

"Thanks, for now though I'm just going to go back. Abby's still there."

"Alright then."

"Bye!" They all said as I left.

"Later!" I just walked. The more I walked to more I calmed down. The Cullens were right. She'll be fine. I'll still worry but I know Alex just as much as they do. She doesn't need anyone helping her. She'll be back before you know it.
