Chapter 20

I was tense all the way home. Alice began to scan through the future as I parked in front of the car. I quickly got out and marched towards the door, ignoring what everyone was thinking. I walked in and then froze:

Alice was packing a couple items of clothing into a very small bag and so was Esme. Carlisle was gathering up his documents into a briefcase. I went downstairs and saw Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett leaving through the back doors, " We're going for a quick hunt before we leave." I nodded as they ran into the forest.

Oh, so we would be leaving. I was beginning to go to Carlisle's office when Alice ran in.

" Why do I see us leaving?" Alice asked frantically.

I didn't answer.

" Well!?" She yelled. By now everyone was crowded around us with confused.

" We don't need to move."

" Then why do I see us packing. What happened today Edward?" Asked Alice.

" Nothing, there was too much blood so I left." I replied.

" No, not that. What happened after school?"

I sighed. " Micheal Flanagan. He's very suspicious of us. Of me."

"What did he say? Or…think?" Asked Carlisle.

" 'I swear to God, that guy is NOT human. I don't know what he is, but I WILL find out.' His thoughts exactly."

Nobody said anything.

Esme was first to speak. " What does this mean?"

" I don't think we should stay here any longer." Carlisle replied.

Rosalie looked shocked. " What!? For some stupid though like that!? Flanagan isn't even smart enough to figure us out."

" We still should. We don't want to take any chances of exposing ourselves."

Rosalie huffed and glared at Edward. " This is all you're fault you know." She yelled.

" Rose! Calm down. We would have left soon anyway." Emmett said. Trying to calm her down.

" Yes. Exactly. Carlisle and Esme are suppose to be claiming 33 now. They look 10 years younger than they claim to be." Alice added.

Esme had some slight concern on her face. " But where will we go. We've lived in many places and we haven't been gone long enough to live in most towns and not be remembered or recognized. And the towns that we have, none of us like at all. And we can't possibly go down south."

" Well…" Carlisle was thinking and so was everyone else.

" Somewhere gloomy, cold…" Carlisle said to himself.

" Rainy, cloudy…" Jasper said. All of them still thinking.

" Somewhere with a mall close by!!!" Alice chimed.

" We do own a couple of houses in different places. No need to build a new one." Esme added.

" What about the one in Buffalo?" Jasper asked.

" No. We don't have a garage there and no mechanical tools. How am I gonna work on the cars?" Rosalie replied.

" The one in Oregon?" Carlisle asked.

" Can't. The forest we hunt at has been cut down. Well most of it. Now it's a park." I answered.

" We could always go live with the Denali family." Esme suggested.

" No Way! There isn't a mall for like a million miles! And my room there doesn't have a walk in closet." Alice pouted.

" Well then where will we go?" Carlisle asked. He didn't sound worried or anything. This wasn't much of a problem. But we had to get out of this town for a while.

There's always…forks…no…Edward wouldn't allow it. Alice thought.

I really did like the house in Forks. It was my favourite… Esme mentally sighed.

Man that forest was filled with so many bears! Hunting was always so fun. We were happy there…Emmett thought.

Jasper thought the same. Rosalie thought about how many garages we had and how she missed her convertible. ( She didn't bring it. Along with the Jeep.) Carlisle was thinking of how small the hospital was and how he was sure that the new staff would be sure to welcome him.

As much as they wanted to, I couldn't go back. Too many memories and too many broken promises. I flinched as I thought of Bella's beautiful face and the sweet strawberry scent of her hair.

I would like to visit Forks Cemetery…to pay my respects. Alice's face suddenly fell and she looked like she was about to dry sob.

I couldn't believe my Bella was gone. What had happened to her? Had she lived her life like I hoped she would? Had my poor angel forgotten me like I told her too. As much as I wanted to know, I knew it would hurt too much.

" So where are we going to go?" Rosalie asked.

" Well, I was…kind of thinking of going back to-." I cut Emmett off before he finished the sentence.

" I know what you were thinking Emmett, you were all thinking of the same place." I said. I noticed now that I had to be near Bella, even if she wasn't physically there.

It would cause me much pain. But I needed it.

" And if you really want to, then I guess were moving to Forks." I said coldly. I ran up the stairs to my room and laid on my couch and thought about my Bella.

This would be good for Edward, and good for all of us. Esme thought.

It will hurt to be in Forks for a while, because of all the memories. But it's better to remember than to forget. That was Alice.

Alice was right. It was better to remember than to forget. Not like I ever would. Not like any of us would. We all miss her, some more than most, but this move will effect us all.

I love you Bella. And I will be near you soon. I thought as I let out a quiet dry sob.

No matter what happens, I will love you. Forever and for eternity.
