-Chapter 24-

Edward's POV

"Bella, you can't possibly think that this is all your fault." I shook my head in disbelief.

I've told her this wasn't her fault before, but I guess she didn't believe me. This is not her fault, it could have happened to anyone. I just couldn't believe she was blaming herself. She did nothing wrong!

"Blame me. I'm the reason why we're all here." She murmured, her eyes glistening with fresh tears. I held her tightly around the waist line and planted a kiss on her head. She looked down, her hair falling to the sides of her face, blocking my view of her eyes.

"Bells, you can't think this is your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame Charlie but never blame yourself." Alice spoke softly, taking the words right from my mouth.

"But if I hadn't gone to Jessica's party, I wouldn't have been kidnapped." Bella muttered. Emmett let out a nervous cough.

"Sorry, Bella, but it was what I was supposed to do. Rose and I have to do anything we can to get money. If I had known who you really were, I wouldn't have done it." Emmett said, tightening his grip on the steering wheel.

"That's okay." Bella replied.

"Never think this was ever your fault." I whispered quietly into her ear and she snuggled up against me. I smiled a little.

"I can't help it, but I understand." Is all that she said.

It broke my heart to know that Bella was feeling guilty and depressed on the inside. I wish I could just take all her nightmares away and make them vanish. I just hate knowing that she's hurt.

It's hurting me too.

"It will never be your fault." Alice murmured to her. Bella smiled a little and looked out the window.

"I'm going to go back to find your father, Alice and Edward." Bella said suddenly.

"You can't be serious, Bella." Alice said in a doubtful tone.

"I'm serious. He's a part of you guys, you know. We should go get him. Or at least tell him where we are, it's the least you can do." Bella said, she said matter-of-factly.

Alice and I shot each other looks and we exactly what we were supposed to do. But we were also aware of what could happen if we actually did execute this plan.

"You're still a registered Missing Person." Emmett reminded her.

She opened her mouth to say something and shut it immediately.

"Well, if you guys are really up for it, why not Bella stay with me and all you can go after him." Rosalie suggested.

I debated whether or not that was actually a good idea. I liked it, but what if someone recognizes us and reports us to the police? What if the Volturi was in Forks? What if the border guards stop us this time?

"Alice?" I looked at her carefully. She looked at me with what looked like determination. She looked very confident.

"We'll do it." She agreed.

-Later on-

"Rosalie, take care of Bella. She's not in the best state." Emmett whispered into his sister's ear. They gave eachother a quick hug and then they said good-bye.

I walked over to Bella who was leaning against the wall. I held my arms open to her and she reluctantly walked right into them. She held onto me tightly and she kissed me quickly on the cheek.

"Please try to be safe." She whispered, brokenly.

"Nothing will happen to us, don't you worry one bit. We should be back within a days notice." I reassured her. She gave me one last hug and then Jasper, Alice, Emmett and I all went to the car.

Once we were all in the car, I felt alone. Every moment, every mile, every single thing that seperates Bella and I - I wanted to destroy. All I want is to be with Bella. But I know that I also have to go after my father, he's important to. I don't care how many faulties he's done throughout his life, I'll take whatever chance I can get to meet him again.

I just hope everything will end well.
