"Oh My God! Bella I'm so sorry!" Alice cried as Bella walked into the room.
Bella's cheeks were tear stained and her eyes were all red and swollen.
"How could they do this to me? My best friend and my husband! I trusted them!" she sobbed into Alice's stone shoulder.
"Wait, WHAT? Your best friend? But surely that means…. oh no, not Jacob!" Alice was so appalled; it felt like she was going to throw up.
"Yeah, I can't believe it. On my daughter's birthday and in my bed!" Bella was so mad she was shaking.
"Well, you can stay here as long as you like Bella", Alice said, gently patting her shoulder.
"Kay. Thanks", said Bella. "Anyway, I best go get the rest of my stuff. Keep an eye on Renesmee will you?"
"Sure, no problem, Bells."
As Bella stepped in to the house, she noticed that it seemed empty.
She walked upstairs to pack her last few bags and found a note on the bedside table.
It read:
"Dear Bella,
We are so sorry for causing you all this pain and hurt. We never meant for you to find out like that. We have decided that it would be best if we left.
We're sorry, take care of yourself, and Renesmee for us.
Love you for always,
Edward and Jacob."
A few weeks later, Alice came home, wondering what mood Bella was going to be in today.
"Bella, we need to talk." Alice said seriously as she walked into the room.
"Yes?" asked Bella, her eyes now a gleaming bright red.
"It's been a month, please. You have to stop." Alice was begging.
"Stop? Stop what?" Bella pretended to act confused.
"Killing all these humans. It's wild. It's crazy. It's… It's out of control!" Alice raged at her. "Look, Bella, if you don't get yourself sorted, the Volturi will get involved, and we don't want that."
"Okay, fine then. I'll try."
"Thank you." Alice said curtly.
Later that evening, while Bella and Alice were watching TV, Bella decided she needed to talk to Alice.
"Alice, I think I should move out."
"What? But what about Renesmee?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can control myself. Not just yet. And as for Renesmee, you would keep her. I mean, if you would? I just don't think that I can take care of her at the moment."
Alice was really confused. "Urm, okay, so, when are you going?"
"In the morning, if that's alright, I've told Renesmee that she's going to stay with you for a while."
The next morning Alice awoke to find that Bella had already left.
She had scrawled a thank you note and left it on the kitchen table.
Alice had made sure Renesmee was still asleep, then got out her phone.
"Hey, it's me." She whispered into her cell. "Yeah, I'm fine. Bella's gone, Renesmee is still asleep. No, I haven't told her, what if she told Jasper? What? Oh okay. Yeah I'll see you later. Love you too." She whispered and then went to get dressed.
