Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed! I'm so sorry it's so short but this is like a filler chapter, to get some things out of the way before chapter 13.

Chapter 12 Good-byes

Edward's POV

School today had been. . . fairly interesting to say the least. It had started out normal, that was until lunch came around. I saw Bella and Alice together, talking when they walked into the lunch room. The only thing I heard was the last part of their conversation when Alice had giggled, 'have fun in Bio!' She smiled, then skipped to our table. Both Rosalie and Jasper were upset that Alice had befriended the new girl. Emmett had been too preoccupied with playing with his food to notice. I slyly glanced at Alice, and pleaded with her to share what they had talked about.

It's none of your business. You should find out soon enough though dear brother.

"You keep saying that Alice, I doubt I'll be finding anything out, anytime soon." I muttered under my breath.

Lunch only lasted so long, it came and went faster than usual. Before I knew it I was seated in Bio, awaiting Bella to grace me with her presence.

When she walked in, my stomach dropped. I had no idea why, and I had a feeling Alice's words meant something more than I had thought. We had talked in class, as usual. Nothing happened, and I had begun to lose hope for finding out the meaning behind Alice's words.

When the bell rang I felt saddened, not just because time had flown by so quickly, but because I was so much more closer to leaving school. . . and leaving Bella.

We walked out together and I held the door open for her. She smiled, blushed, and a soft giggle had escaped her lips. She looked up at me to whisper a 'thank you' when her foot caught the door jam, and she tripped. But I was fast enough to catch her before she fell. I rapped my hands around her slender waist while she opened her eyes, her hands on my shoulders. She looked up at me with her big brown eyes. From this close I could see the specks of blue better.

"Are you okay?" I whispered to her as I sat her upright.

"Um. Yeah. . . thanks. Edward." She looked dazed and confused which made me slighty laugh.

"No problem."

I heard someone clear their throat, and wasnt too surprised it was one of Bella's family members. I released my grip on her immediately and she took a measured step away from me. I was lieing to myself when I thought I didn't miss her touch.

"Uh. Jacinda. This is Edward. Edward Cullen. Edward, this is Jacinda Brandon." She introduced us, but kept a firm gaze with Jacinda. She smiled and held her hand out for me, with weariness I shook it. Not trusting her at all. I touched her hand, and then a fiery warmth spread its way up my arm. I yanked my hand away fast, and put both of my hands in my pockets.

I figured she had done that on purpose to hurt me.

"It was nice to meet you. Edward." She adverted her eyes, and grabbed Bella's hand, leading her off to the locker room doors.

After gym Rosalie Emmett and Jasper were practically fuming with anger and frustration at how easily the Brandon's could have beaten us at volleyball today. Instead it was a tie with 0-0 because neither one of us ever dropped the ball. When we told Carlisle and Esme of the many new things we found out about them they were fascinated, especially Carlisle on the powers they could do with the ball and how their agility copied our own.

I started to think about how easily it is for me and Bella to talk. Every day I look forward to going to Bio and I wished we had more classes together. I more then ever, wished Bella and I were human so things wouldn't be so difficult. Just a boy and a girl being friends and maybe one day more then friends but in reality things aren't that easy because I'm not just a boy and she's not just a girl. We are supernatural, immortals and we have forever to figure out were we belong. I just haven't found that yet. Or so I thought.

Bella's POV

I was so happy Jacinda didn't mention anything about Edward but when I heard her ask me in her head if we could talk, I immediately knew what was to come. I nodded my head and we silently ran through the woods until we stopped at a small stream.

"So what's up?" I asked trying to keep everything light.

"Nothing much but, I really need to speak to you about something." she said. "And I know that you already know what it is." We both laughed a little.

"Yeah about that, it wasn't what you thought, or still think- " she cut me off with her hand.

"Bella, you might be hiding this or you still don't realize it but I think you're slowly falling for Edward." I stood there frozen thinking through her words. Could I fall for Edward? Could he feel the same? No Bella! You barley know him! But I feel so comfortable around him; he makes me smile every time I see him. To soon too fast!

I was having this conflict with myself that I just wanted to turn everything off and go to sleep or something. I took a deep breath and figured out what I was going to say.

"Just because you saw me and Edward that close doesn't mean anything. I fell- " she cut me off for the second time and I had this feeling it wasn't going to be the last.

"It's not that. Hear me out okay?" I let out a breath of frustration but let her continue.

"The second I saw the Cullen's I was disgusted by them like any other fairy would be, but when I saw you explaining to us not to hurt them, that they're different, you had this look on your face like a person explaining their favorite movie to someone. That got me curious to see what was so different about them that would change your whole view on them. When you told us about each one of them you had the same look on your face, well except for when you told us about blondie. That other day when I saw you in Edward's arms you had a completely different look on your face. One I haven't seen since we were little girls. You had this little sparkle in your eye that you always got when you were happy or excited about something. You had that exact look on your face when you were looking at Edward. Bella all I'm saying is that to just be careful. We're leaving tomorrow and we wont be here to back you up. But if he does hurt you, you call me and I'll personally kick his ass." I giggled and hugged her real tight.

"Thank you Jacinda. I still have my doubts but, I know I can always count on you. I'm going to miss you." I almost wanted to cry.

Jacinda laughed, "Babe, don't start the water works just yet." We smiled at each other and ran back home.

When we walked into the living room, we were getting questioning gazes from everyone.

"What?" Jacinda said annoyed that everyone was looking at her.

"Where were you girls?" Gale asked.

"What are you? My mom? Bella and I went to go hangout before we left. Nina and Bella went shopping, I wanted to be with her too." She said while crossing her arms over her chest.

"Fine." He said.

"Give me that." Jacinda ran over to Peter who was watching a basketball game and took the remote from him and started changing the channel while getting comfortable on the coach.

"Hey!" Peter and Gale yelled at Jacinda trying to get the remote back but failing miserably. Me and Nina both grabbed some grapes and sat down on the floor in front of the couch and watched and laughed at Peter, Gale and Jacinda running around the house. The rest of the night we all spent together having a great time, but knowing in a short period of time that would all end.

It was Sunday morning, the very morning we have all been dreading.

Today we decided would be good for everyone to go back to their assigned place, which meant I would be alone again for the rest of my time in Forks. Nina has been crying while packing her things and Peter has tried to comfort her for the past hour but nothing will work. Jacinda has been tough but when you look in her eyes you can tell she didn't want to leave. The guys were also upset but tried to look happy for us.

When Jacinda tele-ported all there things back she came up to me and gave me a hug and whispered in my ear so soft no one else could hear except me.

"Stay safe Bella. We're all worrying about you the most. Remember what I said yesterday." she kissed me on the cheek and went to hug Gale and Peter. I ran to Nina and she hugged me real tight while saying comforting words. "You'll do fine, Bella. You were okay before we got here and you'll be okay when we leave." I pulled away and looked at her. "Buy me something in Europe?"

"Defiantly."

I walked up to Peter who tried to lighten up the mood by saying out loud.

"You be a good girl Bella. We don't want to go home without you." I smiled at him and Gale hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek.

We all gathered in a circle. "The faster you go, the faster we will be together again." I said while looking at everyone. "We will think of each other every night but we can't let this distract us from our mission. Everyone have their pendant?" they all nodded while touching there's.

Every fairy has a pendant. They look simple but beautiful at the same time, a stone on a steel chain. The chain was made of 3 thin silver strips that were braided. The stone was oval shaped and was the color of whatever fairy gift you have. Mine was a light aqua color, Nina's was clear, Jacinda and Gale's were a bright red and Peter had a deep green color. You get your pendant when you're first born and don't get another one. It's a part of you and you have to take care of it. When you get older and are part of a coven your pendant is sort of connected to your mate and coven members. For example if Jacinda was wearing her pendant and was in serious trouble, her pendant would start glowing a soft red. It would also affect our pendants by turning them red or hotter temperature, telling us that Jacinda needs help.

"Okay guys I'll try to call sometime in the next few days." We all hugged once more then in the blink of an eye they were gone.

And I was alone again.

For the rest of the day I did my homework, cleaned the house and watched TV. It was only around 5 in the afternoon when I decided to go out for a run, even though it was raining. As a water fairy I love the rain so it didn't bother me the least. But secretly I wanted to run into Edward again. I put on some jeans and a white V-neck T-shirt with a gray jacket and let my hair fall down my back. I grabbed my pendant and ran outside.

I was just jogging and looking around at the beautiful greenery around me when I heard a loud crash, then a couple of seconds later a scream. Not any scream, Edward's scream.

Oooo, cliffy! I hope you didn't hate this chapter as much as I did writing it. Its so boring and kind of sad but like I said I needed these scenes out of the way for next chapter.
