A/N: Hey guys! APs are finally over! Whew! Here we go!

Bella:

I received an invitation to Edward and Belle's wedding on Friday. Should I go? Probably not. Besides, I'm happy where I am, in Volterra with Aro, Jane, Heidi, the rest of the guards, and of course Alec.

Therefore, I wrote a letter and put in the Cullens' front door.

Dear Cullen Family,

It is thoughtful that you have invited me to Edward and Belle's wedding. However, I will kindly decline, as it is too painful for me to attend. In fact, I have to leave your family forever. Let me address each of you.

Carlisle, you were like a second father to me. Thank you for standing by my side even though I'm no longer engaged to Edward.

Esme, I love you. You are the best mother a girl could ever have. Thank you again for being my mother.

Rosalie, I'm sorry our relationship hasn't improved, but I'm still glad we gave it a try.

Emmett, you are my best friend and brother. I love you.

Alice, Alice, what can I say? You were my best friend. I can tell you like Belle. Treat her to shopping trips more often than not.

Jasper, stop killing yourself just because you almost killed me that dreadful day. I forgave you a long time ago.

Belle, I know you are new to the family, but I'm not going to forget you. I'm not jealous of your relationship with Edward. In fact, I want you to be happy. Live with Edward happily for me.

And Edward. I'm not going to forget you. I still love you, don't get me wrong. But Edward, I know you moved on. I'm happy for you. Marry Belle and live with her happily forever, as a final request from your ex-girlfriend.

And me? Where would I go? For now, I've left Denali and am just going to go where the wind takes me.

Take good care, my dear friends.

Bella

I dropped the note, and transported myself back to Volterra to get ready for the ball. I don't love Edward anymore, but I love Alec with all my heart. Don't get me wrong. I still care for Edward, I just don't love him. So I love Edward, I'm just not in love with him.

Belle, Rochester NY:

I picked up a note that said: To the Cullens.

"Edward!" I called.

He was instantly by my side. "Yes, love?" he asked.

"There is a note. Can you call the family together so that we can read it?" I asked.

"Sure, love," said Edward. Within a few minutes, everyone was gathered in the living room.

"I'll read it," I said. I opened the note and cleared my throat.

"Dear Cullen Family," I began.

"Wait," said Emmett. "Who's it from?"

"We'll know soon enough. Let's see. It says: 'It is thoughtful that you have invited me to Edward and Belle's wedding. However, I will kindly decline, as it is too painful for me to attend. In fact, I have to leave your family forever. Let me address each of you. Carlisle, you were like a second father to me. Thank you for standing by my side even though I'm no longer engaged to Edward,'" I said. I paused to let everyone absorb the information.

I heard Edward gasp. "Bella," he said.

I looked at him coldly and continued. "'Esme, I love you. You are the best mother a girl could ever have. Thank you again for being my mother. Rosalie, I'm sorry our relationship hasn't improved, but I'm still glad we gave it a try. Emmett, you are my best friend and brother. I love you. Alice, Alice, what can I say? You were my best friend. I can tell you like Belle. Treat her to shopping trips more often than not."

I saw Alice smile at this.

I continued. "Jasper, stop killing yourself just because you almost killed me that dreadful day. I forgave you a long time ago," I said.

Everyone froze. Then, I saw Jasper slowly smile. "Jasper, what did you do to her?" I asked.

It was Edward who spoke. "Belle, love, on Bella's 18th birthday, Jasper attacked her. That was why I left Bella. So she could be safe," said Edward quietly.

I nodded and read, "Belle, I know you are new to the family, but I'm not going to forget you. I'm not jealous of your relationship with Edward. In fact, I want you to be happy. Live with Edward happily for me. And Edward. I'm not going to forget you. I still love you, don't get me wrong. But Edward, I know you moved on. I'm happy for you. Marry Belle and live with her happily forever, as a final request from your ex-girlfriend."

Everyone was silent. Edward was dry sobbing in his hands. I was going to have a serious talk with him later. After all, Bella's moved on. He should too.

I quickly read on, "And me? Where would I go? For now, I've left Denali and am just going to go where the wind takes me. Take good care, my dear friends. Bella."

Everyone was stunned.

Then, Rosalie spoke. "You know, Bella cannot just wander around as a nomad forever. You heard about the Volturi's ball. Every vampire, even nomadic ones, have to go. We'll see her at the ball," she replied.
