Ok here is chapter 2. I know the ending to chapter 1 was a bit off but please trust me with this story. Give it a chance and you will see that it had to happen. I hope you like this chapter and will let me know. However, don't just review and tell me it sucked like someone did. Tell me what you didn't like about it so I know. If you don't like it then don't read it or review it. Plain and simple.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or anything from it but if I could, Edawrd would be handcuffed to my bed as I type and would be begging me to come join him for some fun *wink wink*

Thanks and Enjoy!

Thanks again to preciousfairymom80 who helped me create this story and figure out the plot!

Chapter 2

BPOV

When I came to I was in the Cullen's living room. Was everything just a dream? I opened my eyes to see Carlisle sitting beside me, his head in his hands.

"Edward?" I asked him.

Carlisle looked up at me with broken eyes and just shook his head. Suddenly I couldn't breathe and my head was spinning again. I tried to get up and run but Esme and Rosalie just held me back down and shushed me.

"Bella, it will be alright" Esme said softly. "Edward tried to protect you. He did this for you to be safe."

The images came flooding back to me suddenly, the fire, the smoke, James running towards me, Edward crashing into him, the fire, the screaming… I tried to get up again but was held on the couch. I screamed out and cried and shook my head.

"NO! THIS CAN'T BE TRUE! TELL ME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!" I demanded.

"Bella, it happened" Carlisle said. "I am so sorry Bella, so very sorry." Carlisle pulled me up to him and held me while I cried heavily against his shoulder. "Would you like to go home Bella?"

I couldn't speak but I just shook my head, I didn't need to be alone. I didn't want to be away from Edward's room, his scent, his memories. Esme stood and went to the home phone and dialed Charlie's number. I heard her speaking softly, her words broken by dry sobs.

"Charlie? It's Esme, something happened. No, no, Bella will be ok but it's Edward… A bear showed up while we were… well it attacked and we tried to fight it off and get Bella out of there. Edward wouldn't let it near Bella, yes, yes Charlie, she wants to stay here. No Charlie, Edward is gone…"

When I heard those words I collapsed into Carlisle's arms and cried more.

"Carlisle is going to sedate her so she can get some sleep. We will keep an eye on her. May she stay with us for a while? She wants Alice and Rosalie near her. Thank you Charlie, would it be ok if she missed some school? Ok you will call them and explain right? Thank you Charlie." Esme hung up the phone and looked at me with soft eyes.

"Thank you" I managed to get out between sobs. Then I felt the prick of the needle as Carlisle administered a sedative and I started to drift off to sleep.

When I awoke I felt cold arms around me and called out "Edward?"

"No Bella, it's me" Alice said softly. "Edward is gone."

I burst into tears again as Alice pulled me tighter. I barely heard the door open and then I felt a calming wave sweep over me. Jasper. I drifted back into an uneasy sleep and didn't know how long I was out.

When I woke again the room was dark and I heard soft whispers near the foot of the bed.

"Hello?" I called out softly. A small lamp was turned on beside the bed and I saw Carlisle and Esme standing there.

"Hi Bella, how are you doing?" Esme asked tenderly, motherly.

"I…I don't know…" was all I could say.

"Bella, I spoke with Charlie earlier today and we spoke about you and school. Everyone at school knows what happened to Edward and we all think it best if you don't return there. Charlie has given permission for you to get your GED if you want and we wanted to ask you something" Carlisle said.

"Ok…what?" I said, uneasily.

"Well, we all decided that we would be better off if we moved and we would like to know if you would want to accompany us" Carlisle explained.

"What about Charlie?" I said shaking softly, trying not to cry again.

Esme sat beside me on the bed and pulled me close to her. "I spoke with Charlie and explained to him that Edward had asked you to marry him and that we still think of you as a daughter. He said that whatever you wanted was what he would choose. We cannot imagine life without you there Bella. Would you come with us?"

"Where to?" I asked pulling in close to Esme.

"Well, we have a house in rural Pennsylvania that we decided upon. There are more sunny days there but the hospital there already has said they would love to have me. You wouldn't have to go to college if you didn't want. We just want you with us Bella. We love you" Carlisle said and then reached his hand out to me. "Will you be a part of our family?

I looked from Esme to Carlisle then noticed Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, and Emmett standing in the doorway waiting for my answer.

"Ok" I said nodding my head. How could they all still love me so much when I was the reason that Edward was gone?

"Bella," Jasper said, crossing the room to me. "I know what you are feeling and you are wrong. You are not the reason that Edward is gone and we want you with us. You are our sister."

I started crying again and Jasper sent another calming wave my way. I could only imagine how I was making him feel and was grateful that he could calm me.

The next 2 weeks passed quickly and in a blur as the moving plans were made. I spent the entire time in Edward's room. I stayed in the bed cuddling his pillow, smelling him on it. I even had conversations with Edward and told him all about the moving plans. I couldn't accept the fact that he was gone. I told Esme that I wanted all of his clothes and belongings packed and taken with us and she just nodded with understanding. I took pictures of his room so I could remember exactly how it looked. Alice walked in on me one day and found me sitting in the closet, hugging one of Edward's sweaters. It smelled so much like him and I couldn't bear to let it go. I started crying again and she just held me and rocked me slowly.

I couldn't bear to leave Edward's room to go home and pack so Charlie packed my things for me and came over to visit me before I moved away. I didn't know what to say to him other than I loved him. He seemed to understand and I was grateful for the comfortable silence he and I could share.

Once everything was packed and ready I hugged him tightly and stood in the driveway looking at the silver Volvo. Alice, Jasper, and I were going to be riding in it to Pennsylvania. I was nervous about the emotions I would feel and Jasper sensed it. He sent me a reassuring wave and told me he would let Alice drive so he could help me deal with it. I just nodded and hugged Charlie one more time.

"Goodbye Dad, I love you. Thank you" I whispered into his ear.

"I love you too Bells. You take care and call me when you guys arrive" Charlie said while squeezing me tightly.

"Bye" I said one more time as I got into the backseat of the Volvo and we headed down the driveway.
