Dear Journal,

It's finally summer break. I've been waiting for it for so long, but now that it's here I feel more miserable than ever.

The suns out today which doesn't leave much for me to do apart from watch Alice buy unneeded stuff online, Alice truly needs a new hobby. She's going to kill me for writing that but you know I'm right Alice!

That little trick of hers was getting quite old very fast. I couldn't even think about going to the Volturi without her telling Carlisle the second she saw me deciding to go.

They just don't understand not having a mate, not having someone to share eternity with. It was hard for them to even realise what it would be like if they lost one of their mates.

I'm alone.

Truly and utterly alone.

I snapped shut my journal with a loud thump and laid it down on my desk.

Before I knew it I was standing in front of my window, looking down upon the wild life.

Listening to the birds sing their songs made my heart darken.

'Even birds have mates' the thought frustrated me. I left my room and the window behind me.

Once I was down stairs I quickly found Alice, who was sitting at the computer, shopping again. She hadn't left that worthless piece of junk in two days, since the others went hunting.

She said it was her was of having fun while the others were gone but I thought differently I think it is her way of dealing with being away from Jasper, her mate.

"Alice I'm going to go for a run," I told her before running as fast as I could out the back door, heading east towards the highway and my meadow.

I thought I heard her mutter a soft 'Okay' but I wasn't sure.

Half way to my meadow I came across a horrible sent. I stopped running at once and quickly jogged back to where I smelt it and got a better sniff.

The smell burnt my nostrils as it went into my lungs, it smelt like dog.

Then it clicked. Werewolf.

I didn't understand why this one was so close to the highway and in our territory.

I ran along the very edge of the trees closest to the highway just to make sure the dog wasn't harming any humans or betraying a secret.

Luckily I did decide to come back and see if everything was well, because as soon and I got close enough to the highway to see the road I saw a huge black wolf walk into the middle of the road and I also saw the driver of the car coming up the road wasn't paying attention to the road. 'An accident waiting to happen' I thought.

"CHARLIE!" a woman shouted but it was too late the man –Charlie – in the driver's seat hadn't seen the wolf in time and the car was sent flying into the closest tree.

I ran down to the car as fast as I could. As I was running there I saw the man's body lying motionless in front of the car, Charlie was dead.

'Oh god, Bella! Can't someone drive past and see us! And save her!' the woman's thoughts appeared in my mind.

I was ripping open the backdoor of the car by this point and what I found wasn't a much better sight than seeing Charlie dead only a few feet away.

"Save her!" The woman screamed at me. I could see she had more chance of serving than her daughter.

"Ma'am, I will do everything I can to help you," I told her but she wasn't listening to me, she didn't care about herself. All she scared about was her daughters' safety.

"Please, just let me die and save our little Isabella! I don't care what it takes and I don't care that you are not what you seem, just save her!" her voice was fading and I knew she didn't have long left of this life.

I felt like I needed to assure her of her daughters' safety.

"Yes Ma'am," I said.

"Tell our Isabella that we loved her with all our very hearts and she must not forget that! Not ever! Look after our little Bella. I love you Isabella Marie Swan..."

Her voice fading into nothing and I saw her eyes roll back into her head and I could no longer hear her heart beating.
