Eventually my last exam arrived, the extra studying definitely helped. For three short hours I was able to block out everything and focus on my exam; but everything comes to an end and soon I was plunged straight back into total despair.

I drove home quickly, in silence, ignoring all memories of him and of us. Places that we had been that seemed to stick out like a sore thumb, where if I looked for too long I could almost see my memory play out like a movie in front of me.

I scrambled out of my car and raced to my bedroom when I got home; my usual routine for avoiding everyone.

I sat in the chair by my window, thinking. What should I do now?

Hours passed, each one was agony. The hole in my chest was throbbing.

Suddenly I realised what I would have to do, the only thing that could perhaps make me normal again. I tossed the idea around for a while until I had made up my mind.

I would leave Seattle, leave our memories, our friends, him. I would let things go back to the way they were before I showed up and messed things up for them.

I would go to Florida, Renee would be thrilled. Maybe there, somewhere completely different to here would help me put myself back together again.

To some degree anyway, I never would be completely whole again.

In her last email Renee suggested I go and visit her, I knew Alice and Rose where letting her know what was going on. That was good. I'd surprise her, I would book a flight tonight, I decided, leave in a few days.

Edward's Point of View

When I got home the others were still there, I didn't stop to greet them. I needed to solace of my room to figure out what had dawned on me today and to figure out how to fix it.

Bella's Point of View

The next morning I began packing my suitcase after booking a flight for tomorrow. While I was packing I tried to figure out how I would tell Rose and Alice, they would be hurt, I just hoped they'd understand and let me go.

I needed this, didn't I?

Once I was done I set my suitcase near the door with my carry-on bag on top.

I headed downstairs, to our living room and sat on the sofa to wait. It felt unfamiliar down here now; it had been so long since I'd spent any time at all down here.

Around dinner time they showed up.

"Hey Bells" they greeted me.

"Hi" I said back in my emotionless tone.

"How was your day?" Alice asked sitting down next to me.

"Okay" I replied, I took a deep breath, "I uh need to tell you guys something" I said in a dead voice.

"Sure babe anything" Rose replied softly sitting down on my other side.

"I uh" I faltered.

"Sweetie you can tell us anything" Alice told me grabbing my hand, "Anything, we won't judge, we'd understand."

I bit my lip, "I'm going to Florida" I said quietly staring at the floor.

"To visit?" Rose asked.

I shook my head.

"Oh Bella" Alice said, I looked up to see her eyes full of tears.

"I'm sorry" I told them both, "But I can't be here, near him. It's destroying me" I whispered.

"When do you leave?" Alice asked, tears streaking down her cheeks.

"Tomorrow" I choked.

"We'll miss you so much" Rose said her voice cracking.

"I'll miss you too" I whispered.

Rose's Point of View

Late that night, after Bella had gone to bed, Emmett and Jasper came over at our insistence. We had to tell them about Bella.

"So what's wrong?" Jasper asked, looking at Alice then me then back again.

"Bella" Alice said simply.

They looked confused.

"She's leaving" I told them, my eyes filling with tears.

"She's what?" Emmett asked, shocked.

"For Florida, tomorrow" I replied.

"Fuck" Jasper exhaled putting his arm around Alice.

I nodded, "Fuck is right."

"Babe we have to tell Edward" Emmett said suddenly turning to face me. "He needs to know, if he wants to fix this he's got no time left anymore."

"I know" I nodded.

"C'mon, we have to tell him now" Jasper piped up.

We all hurried next door, "I'll go get him" Emmett offered sprinting up the stairs.

"Fuck" we heard Emmett yell.

He ran back downstairs, "He's not here, what the hell do we do now?" he asked.

"We wait and hope he gets home in time" I replied.

Bella's Point of View

I was leaving today, going to Florida, I was hoping I'd feel some relief at the thought of this; but I didn't.

That was okay, I guessed, maybe when I got there it would set in.

Rose, Alice, Em and Jazz had all told me they would drop me off today, so with Emmett's help I lugged my bag downstairs and put it in the trunk of Jasper's car.

I turned around slowly and walked back into the house. I would miss this place, so much. It was home now, or at least it was.

I walked slowly through the house, savouring it for the last time. When I reached my room, my eyes began to well up with tears. It looked different somehow, without all of my personal items.

I headed back downstairs unable to be in there anymore. They were all waiting in the living room for me.

"Are you sure about this?" Rose asked me seriously.

I nodded.

We both began to cry, followed by Alice.

"We'll miss you, so much" Alice sobbed clinging to me.

"I'll miss you too" I choked.

"Little sis" Emmett said coming over and giving me a bear hug. "It won't be the same without you" he told me, I could see tears in his eyes. Who'd have ever thought it?

"Bells, you take care of yourself and don't be a stranger" Jasper begged.

"I won't" I sobbed hugging him back.

"I spose we should go then" Emmett said, uttering the words no one wanted to hear.

I nodded once and with my arms linked with my two best girlfriends headed for the car.
