As our conversation about the chances of Disney being on crack ensued Edward began to look more worried by the minute. Whats eating him? I put my burger down and motioned for Alice to follow me to the bath room.

"OH great the woman pack leads the way to the rest room once more." Jasper sighed letting go of Alice's hand and she trotted after me to the bathroom.

"I think something's up with Edward, he looks… I don't know worried that something's going to happen that he can't stop or something." I whispered as Alice leaned against the sinks. She paused and bit her lip in thought.

"Maybe it's nothing." She said a little too quickly for my liking.

"Ok what's up. You know something and I'm going to find out Alice." I said giving her a warning look.

"It' doesn't matter. You can't do anything about it now." She said in a low whisper. "No one can." And she walked out not looking back. Now what in the world was that about? Someone knows something and doesn't have the decency to bring me into the loop. I stomped out of the bathroom and rejoined my friends/traitors. As I sat down Edward looked more frantic than he did before I left. I shrugged it off and told myself I would ask him when we left. I had one bite if my hamburger left so I shoved it in my mouth and jumped up from the table.

"Ok guys, let's go." I made a move to get up from the table, but now it was hard to stand on my feet. I wobbled a little and Edward caught me motioning for Jasper to get my legs.

"Keep your wings folded in Bella." Jasper said in a pissed off fashion. "I keep stepping on them." I just noticed that even though he was I felt no pain. None at all.

They drug me outside and into the forest near the Mc Donald's and laid me down. I just noticed the sky was getting dark and a storm was moving in. Everyone set up camp as I laid in the dirt unable to move. After everyone settled down Edward drug me over to a small cave entrance protruding from some rocks nearby.

"I'm sorry." He whispered in my ear as he laid me down once more. Even though the cold from the floor of the cave was seeping through my clothes, I began to drift to sleep when Edward spoke again. "I love you, Bella. Don't forget I always have."

I was about to respond to this with an 'I love you too' speech. But the words were lost in my throat as my eyelids dropped and the world became pitch black.

By morning the storm had passed and I woke up to find I was alone in the cave. No Edward. No Alice or Jasper. Not even Jacob. I wobbled to my feet and walked slowly to the mouth of the cave.

Even outside the cave, there were no signs of my friends. After accepting the fact they left me I went to open my wings and fly off to find them, when my feet wouldn't leave the ground. At all. Confused by this I walked over to a puddle of water occupying the place where I assume the fire from last night was. I looked in it tensely and tried to extend my wings again. Nothing. I turned my back to the puddle and looked in it again. The only thing left on my back was two slits in my shirt where my wings would be.

"No." I said simply as my voice slowly went up in volume. "Noo!" My wings. Gone. This must be a dream. MUST be. The wings I had learned to love, the very things that kept me close to the one I love. Gone.

I went over to a tree and punched it with all my frustration pint up inside. I heard the thunk of my hand hitting the tree and then the ear splitting sound of the bones breaking in my hand.

"AAAUUUGHHHH!" I yelled dropping to my knees cradling my right fist in my left. Tears began to cascade down my face, turning the dirt under me into mud. Knowing that this was in fact not a dream, I turned to the sky and yelled.

"I know your there guys. Come out and face what you did. COME OUT NOW." I yelled as my voice bounced around the empty space consuming me. I heard wings flutter and the thud of feet on the ground behind me.

" Bella, they left. Edward, Jacob, and Alice all just left while we were sleeping." Jasper said trying to calm me down. I turned and glared at him, tears stinging my eyes.

"I can't believe that they would do something like this to me." I cried, new tears staining my cheeks. " Well then Jacob, where could they have gone. WHERE!" I yelled.

"Bella I don't think they wanted us to come with them. Or they would have told us where they were going." Jasper whispered rubbing the spot on my back between my shoulder blades. Why would Edward do this to me? Of all the ways to say 'I don't love you anymore' this must be the worst.

"I love you, Bella. Don't forget I always have."

Edward, you may have given up on me for what I can see as no reason at all, but I'm not giving up. Not on him, not on saving the world from a mad scientist. He can push me away but there's no way I'm gonna give up. I looked up to Jasper and smiled through my tears.

"You think you can carry me?" I said still smiling.

"Ok I'm done being all caring like. It's exhausting. And also I've been meaning to tell you, you're defiantly bipolar." Jasper said folding his arms in front of him.

Edward POV

I landed roughly on the sand and tucked in my wings pressing up against the side of a building. I turned and motioned for Jacob and Alice to follow me. To take good measures I had Alice send Aro away to not draw attention to us. He couldn't stop sneezing. Alice clambered over and smacked onto the wall next to me.

"You know Bella's gonna be pissed. She's not going to give up on you or the world that easy. You probably just poured gasoline on a fire." Alice whispered in my ear.

"I know, but it was worth a shot." I said as Jacob followed after Alice.

"Worth what?" He said squatting down to avoid being seen.

"Nothing." I said quickly. He doesn't need to know. It would only make it that much harder. I turned around and looked around the building we were hiding behind. In the distance was the most threatening building I will ever see. California's Academy of Science.

A/N

Wow where to begin? Homework, Sucks. Water polo, exhausting. School, boring as hell. Hanging with friends, not much time to do. Writing chapters, nearly impossible. That pretty much sums it all up. What a month, I haven't even touched my word document let alone my lap top. Yikes, tiring. Well It's spring break so maybe I can get a chapter or two in. Until next time.
