Previously:

Well I can feel Edward emotions now he is almost here. Why is he feeling smug, happy, and proud? Not the emotions I would expect from someone who just had to leave their mate. And now they are changing to depression and self-loathing. I think I should keep an eye on Edward, and keep my thoughts hidden. Something isn't right, and I am going to get to the bottom of it…

BPOV (June 16, 2006)

I can't believe I am graduating today. Victoria has been a great help to me getting over Edward. She promised to be here for me and hasn't let me down yet. She has become my best friend and sister. I hope she finds her mate she deserves happiness.

We came to an agreement that I won't be changed until after my 21st birthday, but never fully coming to a decision on the date so that Alice doesn't see it. We are doing it as a spur of the moment type thing.

I still think about The Cullens here and there. And I talk to Vicky about it. She understands why I miss them. I don't miss Edward since he only used me for a distraction, and I don't miss Alice that much because I felt I was only a toy for her enjoyment, but I do miss Emmett my bear of a big brother. He gave the best hugs, and I miss his goofy smile that showed his dimples that you could help but smile back too. I also miss Carlisle and Esme they were the parent that I never had. They took care of me not the other way around. Don't get me wrong I love my hair brain of a mother Renee and Charlie, but I liked the way Carlisle and Esme took care of me. I even miss Rosalie even though she was a complete and utter bitch to me, she always told it to you straight no sugar coating, and I respect her for it, but the only I miss the most is Jasper. I never got to really know him because Edward always said that it was too dangerous for me to be around him. I wish that I could tell him that it wasn't his fault what happen at my birthday, maybe one day in the future if I see them again, and anything is possible the future have unlimited possibilities.

Well back to the present, Jessica just gave an awesome speech, and now everyone is getting called to get their diplomas. "Isabella Swan" the principal said. I walked across the stage and has handed my diploma Charlie cheered. Once everything was done me and Charlie went to the diner, ate dinner, and talked.

"I am so proud of you Bells. Even after everything you have been through. You are still standing strong. I glad you had a friend like Vicky to help you out, and I am glad you are going to college at UW." Charlie said.

I looked at Charlie with tears in my eyes and said, "Yeah me and Vicky are going to be roommates which reminds me you do know I am going with Vicky to find a place closer to school that a 2 bedroom and going to have to apply to jobs to be able to pay. Remember by the end of this month we planned on moving in together so we are ready for school."

"Yes I remember. I can't believe you are all grown up, and don't worry about me I will be fine. I took care of myself before you came back I can do it again. Just don't forget about your old man over here, and you don't forget that if you need anything I am only 3 1/2 hours away." Charlie said.

"I know dad. I will remember, but anyways what is going on with you and Sue Clearwater lately? You two have been getting a little smitten." I said grinning at Charlie who now has red cheeks.

"Oh hush you, you have been reading too many romance novels. Smitten really? I just helping her cope with the loss of Harry, but anyways we need to get back home and start packing you up so you are ready to go when you find you a place." Charlie said.

I laughed, "Trying to get rid of me already. Well at least I will know you are being fed properly without me around. I am honestly going to miss you dad, but your right lets go start packing." Went left the diner and went home to pack.

Two day later near Seattle

"I already brought a place on the outskirts of Issaquah, between the two parks off of route 900." Vicky said.

"Alright then, so are we going to look at it?" I asked.

"Yup" Vicky said as she popped the "p".

After about 30 minutes we pulled up to a nice log cabin. At first I thought it was a small cabin just for the two of us, but when we got closer I could tell there was more than meets the eye. I could not believe my eye this cabin was amazing. (Pictures on profile)

"Since you are practically drooling I take it you like it?" Vicky giggled.

"Hell yeah this is amazing." I said excitedly.

"Just so you know I get the upstairs bedroom. I don't need you falling down the stairs when I am going to hunt." said Vicky with a smirk on her face.

"Oh har har. I have got better with my balance thank you very much, but I see you have everything set up which is good. Now the only thing to do is move my stuff in. Are you sure you don't need me to get a job I feel bad to use your money." I said.

"Don't be silly I have been saving money for about 300 years. If you saw my bank I think you would shit yourself. Now let go shopping for food for you and take in the town to see what Seattle has to offer." Vicky said.

I sighed, "Ok, let's go see Seattle. Lead the way." Vicky laughed at my antics.

…

When we got to Seattle we walked around taking in the sites. We sat down at a café near the University, for me to eat, when a cute guy from the college came in. I noticed how Vicky was looking at him like she just saw the sun for the first time. I could tell she found her mate. Now I just need to figure out how to get them together.

"See something you like there Vicky." I teased her, but she didn't respond. So I waved my hand in front of her face to get her attention and said, "Man you got it bad Vicky. Why don't you go and try to talk to him?"

"No I couldn't. I don't even know what to say to him, and what if he is looking for someone? I think admiring from right now would be ok. Jeez, what is wrong with me he is just a human I shouldn't have problem going and talking to him." Vicky said sounding a little fluster with herself.

"Vicky, he is your mate not your food. You are taking his feeling into account. Here I'll be right back." I said getting up. I walked over to him before he got a chance to sit down and said, "Hey I was wondering if you would like to sit with me and my friend. We are new to town and are trying to get to know a few people. I'm-"

He interrupted me, "Isabella Swan from Forks, I am actually from Forks myself I graduated from there last year. My name is Riley Biers." He stuck out this hand for me to shake.

I was shocked to say the least, but I shook his hand and said, "It's Bella actually, and wow what a small world. So what do you think about my offer?"

"Sure I would love too." He smiled, then look to my and Vicky table and was stunned as much as she was at first. When we got to the table stuck out his hand for Vicky to shake but instead of shaking it he kissed the top of it, not affected by the cold, and said, "Why hello. I am Riley and what might your name be?"

"Victoria but you can call me Vicky if you like." said Vicky softly as she swooned over him.

"Victoria you have a beautiful it is very fitting." said Riley.

We sat for a few hours talking getting one another. Vicky never told him about her being a vampire but that is expected she wants him to get to know the real her before dropping something that big on him. When we all got up to leave Riley exchanged numbers with us, then we said our goodbyes. Riley kissed Vicky's hand again before parting ways. It was sweet. I am glad she finally got her mate. I wonder when I will find my mate. We in a few years I will have forever to see I won't give up hope. Well now were off to buy food for the cabin for me to eat.

JPOV

The family is heartbroken over the loss of Bella. Emmett isn't his usual pranking, goofy, lovable self. He doesn't even want play video games anymore. He misses his baby sister. Alice isn't the ball of energy she normally is and she hardly shops anymore. I can tell my wife misses her best friend and sister. Carlisle is working a lot more to keep his mind off of Bella. He always did consider her, his daughter. And poor Esme, when Carlisle is home she is usually sobbing over Bella with him in their room, but when he isn't she is trying to keep the family together. What the most shocking is Rose even is missing Bella! You can't tell by her outward appearance, but it is in her emotions. I even miss, Bella, her emotions were always so pure. It was an empathy wet dream. Edward is the only one who is back to his normal self-loathing self, but he has been hanging with Tanya a lot more. I wonder about them at times.

Anyways today is one of those days where they are hanging out, and the emotions I am getting from him are self-loathing and lust, and from her is a massive amount of lust. I can't take it I have to get away from all the emotion.

"Alice, would you care to join me on a hunt?" I asked my wife.

"Sure I would love too." Alice said.

We ran about 5 miles out and stopped. I was getting all my thoughts in order when Alice started to speak to me.

"2 days ago she would have graduated. I wonder how she is doing." Alice sighed.

"Why don't you take a look to see? I won't tell anyone." I said.

"I already have I can't see her anymore. I always get blurry vision. I tried about 3 months ago. I don't know what going on. I can see everyone else just fine, but her. Well that a lie because Laurent get blurry every once in a while." she told me.

"Wait Laurent get blurry. That is a little odd. I maybe someone is thinking about coming to talk to him but change their mind. Your visions are based on decisions. We will worry about that later. I do wonder about Bella though. She should not be blurry. Hmm, maybe it is her ability she was able to block Edward gift. Maybe it grew stronger. Or she is so taking things as bad as we are and not making any decisions. We as vampires can work around our emotions. So I can only imagine how she is taking things." I told her.

"I just don't know, and to answer your questions. Yes Edward and Tanya are together. I am not sure they are mates, but I am pretty sure they aren't, and no, Bella and Edward were not mates. I am not sure who Edward's actual mate is, but Bella did open him up to actually having a relationship to Tanya. I can't answer who Bella's mate is, or if she is going to be happy because I can't see her anymore. And I need to tell you something I need you to promise not to get angry about. I have seen to get angry about it." Alice said.

"Well that is not something I want to hear before you tell me something, but I will try and hear you out and not get angry." I hesitatingly said to her.

She sighed, "Well now at least the outcome is better. Um, we aren't mates about a week ago I saw a vision of me with my mate. I am so sorry Jasper if I would have known I wouldn't have told you that we were mates shortly after we got together. Don't get me wrong the time we have had together been great it is just-"

"You are happier with him. I understand, what I couldn't understand was how anyone could be with a monster like me. I am a little upset, but thank you for telling me instead of dragging it out until you had your mate knocking on the door." I said feeling hurt and upset from me, and relief from Alice.

"Thank you Jasper. You are still my best friend, and yes I agree with you on us getting a divorce. One day you will find your mate. Don't give up hope. I also see you with her I just never seen her face, only her back, but hey I can tell you Peter and Charlotte are going to like her. They never liked me. Just be happy and keep an open mind and heart." said Alice.

"I think after the divorce is finalized I am going to go visit them to get away from everyone's emotions. I am going to spent time with Peter and Charlotte for a little while, but I promise I will come back and hopefully things would have calmed down." I said feeling good about the decision.

"That is a great idea Jasper. Just remember I love you I always will just not the same as before. You deserve to be happy also." said Alice. Her emotions started to show back to the way she before everything happened.

I smiled at her, "Come on let's go break the news to everyone else." And with that we took off toward the house…
