AN: Alright guys Here yo go! We're seeing things through Bella's eyes for a bit and then...Well you'll have to read on. Please remember Alice doesn't "See" everything all the time. Her time with Bella has let her put her guard down so to speak. So keep that in mind when you're all "WTF Didn't Alice see this coming?" Cause , um, no she didn't.

How dare I forget to thank my fucktastic beta ChangedbyEdward. And also thanks to Lola for the late night convos. You both keep me in check!!

Now on the story...

BPOV

I ran. I ran hard and fast, not caring that my shoes had ripped off half a mile ago. I couldn't, no, I wouldn't, see him there. As soon as I heard the first opening notes of that song, the whole room spun and there he was at the piano and I could hear my song. My song. The one that he took away from me had started to play. I concentrated on the sounds of my bare feet slapping the pavement, the rain splashing against my face, and my heart thundering in my ears as I continued to run.

Bella don't do this. Turn around.

"NO, you don't have the right to care! You said it would be as if you never existed and all I see is YOU! You wanted me to be human? Watch me!" I screamed as I ran further down the road going as fast as my legs would go. If he could run, so could I.

I saw headlights coming up fast and stopped dead in my tracks.

Love, please, move out of the way.

His beautiful, tortured voice started pleading with me. I snorted as I crouched down in the middle of the road shivering. "You lost this battle when you left me in the woods. Don't concern yourself with this, love. Things are going just as they should." As I sat there talking to the voice in my head, the car skidded to a halt and a sheet of water enveloped me.

"Isabella Marie! Get in here! NOW!"

Oh, shit. I wasn't counting on it being Charlie.

"That's it, Bella! You're going to Florida! How could you leave the party? Were you drinking? Bella? Answer me, young lady!"

I sat there, soaked, frozen to the bone, with nothing to say for myself. I honestly didn't know how to respond to Charlie. Then, as I thought about it, I got upset because it was the most my father had said to me in two months and he was trying to send me away. I was so fucking tired of people trying to rid themselves of me. What the hell is wrong with me? Am I really that bad of a person that no one wants me around?

"No, dad, I wasn't drinking, and you wouldn't have had to ask me such a stupid question if you knew me better. And I'm not going to Florida with mom either. If you don't want me I'll move in with Alice at her old house or something, but I'm not leaving Forks." Even though I hated to admit it to myself, if I left, I really would be brought to reality, the reality that he wasn't coming back. As long as I stayed, I had hope that someday he would return for me, that he still loved me, that it was all a mistake.

"I don't know what else to do with you, Bella. I thought Alice staying here was helping, but… I just don't know how to handle this. I could never not want you. You're my little girl." Charlie's voice was full of emotion and he stared at me, waiting for an answer. I stared back with a blank expression on my face.

"Ch… dad, there's no way to handle it. I'm hurting and I don't know if there's a timeline for this kind of thing. It just needed to get out, and well, tonight is when it decided to escape. I'm trying, dad, I really am, it's just… everywhere I go, I see him. I don't want to run from him the rest of my life."

Charlie looked at me with a deep understanding and nodded his head. "I just… I want my Bella back. I love you, kiddo." He blushed at the emotion of the moment and turned his eyes back to the road.

Before I had a chance to tell my dad I loved him, too, I saw his hands clench on the wheel. The windshield was foggy, but in the headlights, I could barely make out a form. Charlie slammed on the brakes and the car began slipping and sliding in the turbulent rain. He switched on the high beams and the form became clearer.

"Holy hell, Bella! What is that, a wolf?" Before I could answer, the car began to hydroplane. Charlie was frantically trying to regain control. As I began to rise out of my seat, I realized I didn't have a seatbelt on. I shot a glance at Charlie just as the impact happened. I threw my arms over my head and felt myself hit the windshield.

EPOV

I sat in my car, the sound of Debussy's "Valse Romantique" wafting from my speakers, as I tried to decide whether to go home or not. I reasoned that I just wanted to make sure Bella was okay. What harm would there be just checking in? She wouldn't even know I was there. But, if I'm going, maybe I could just talk to her… hold her… I put the car in drive and sped towards Forks, all the while thinking about my Bella. Does she miss me? Does she hurt like I hurt now? Alice said Bella was faking her way through life, but I just couldn't believe that. Surely she knew that I really did love her deeply. Didn't she understand that I just couldn't keep putting her in harm's way? I let the thoughts of Bella flood my mind as I traveled the twisting roads near Forks. Suddenly, the most vicious screaming I've ever heard attacked my ears. Then, my sister's voice invaded my senses.

Did I do this right, Jas? I mean, is it going to work? There was so much blood. I didn't even know if I could…

I pushed my car faster as the conversation grew more frantic. Who could be screaming like that? I hadn't heard screaming like that since Rosalie was turned. And then the realization hit me… "Bella!"

I jumped out of the car, not even bothering to close the door, and blasted through the front door of the house. Jasper was holding Bella down on the couch and Alice was looking over her body. By her thoughts, I could tell that she was checking to see if she had injected enough venom in her. Bella's screams pierced the air and I fell to my knees at the very sight of her.

She was in tattered and torn rags that might have once been a beautiful dress. A large gash ran down the side of her leg and another tore through the inside of her arm. Angry purple bruises were all over her stomach and sides and a large one was forming above her right temple. Her eyes were shut tight with pain as her body bucked and twisted under Jasper's hold. His face was utter agony as he tried to send calming waves toward Bella. Alice spun on her heel and her eyes held a fear and panic I had never seen before.

"What… What happened?" I could barely get the words out as Alice walked towards me and even as I asked, I could see the whole scene unfolding in my sister's mind.

"Bella finally fucking cracked, that's what happened!" A vicious snarl escaped Alice's lips before I had a second to even process her next move. Her tiny frame leapt on me, launching me across the room and out the door as the sound vibrated off the walls.

"I begged you to come back! I TOLD you what was going to happen! She was getting better, Edward! She even laughed tonight! But, as soon as YOU creep up on her, her defenses go down and Bella is once again stuck in that god-forsaken forest seeing nothing but you running away with your tail between your legs, you coward!" She lunged again as I pivoted out of the way.

Jasper appeared in the doorway and tried using some of his power on his wife since it seemed to be having no effect on Bella. As proof positive, Bella's screaming voice resonated through the great room, piercing my dead heart with every bellow.

"Jasper, can't you do something for her? Isn't there any way to sedate her? Did anyone call Carlisle? How did this happen, exactly? Was this honestly the very last choice, Alice, or something you saw and didn't want to stop?" My mind was reeling with the implications of the scene unfolding before me. I was full of questions, but had no answers. Alice and Jasper's minds were both racing and I couldn't keep up with my own mind racing too.

Jasper managed to grab Alice around the waist before she had another chance to strike at me. Unfortunately, it didn't keep her thoughts from assaulting my mind or her stinging words from reverberating in my ears.

"You unbelievable bastard! What do you propose I should have done, Edward? Let her DIE? Would that have fit into your vision of how things are meant to be? Because if I hadn't bit her, brother dear, she'd be dead!" Alice's voice dripped with venom as she stalked across the room. Jasper walked back towards the couch, sending waves of calm over Bella as she screamed and thrashed. I followed them inside and engaged Alice in the battle.

"I'm not saying you should have let her die, Mary Alice. There's no need to be repugnant. I was on my way home to make sure everything was all right. I sure didn't expect to come home to Bella like this. I…"

"I- I- I… DO YOU FUCKING HEAR YOURSELF, EDWARD?! Bella was dying! She flew through a window! If I hadn't caught her, she would have hit a tree! I held my best friend's damn near lifeless body in my arms. I had to choose between her and Charlie because I couldn't save them both! I watched as the fucking car exploded and then I had to run like hell away from the flames with Bella's heart slowing down every second. I just bit down. I didn't care where; all I cared about was saving her! If Jasper hadn't arrived when he did, I might have…" Alice's eyes grew wide with fear and then she was suddenly on the floor, dry sobs wracking her body.

I stood there staring down at my sister and for the first time, I realized what my actions had cost, not only me, and not only Bella, but my whole family. I knelt down next to Alice, but she scooted away from me, an action which I obviously deserved. Instead, I sat near her on the floor.

Jasper growled at me from the couch. "Edward, if you're going to be an asshole, just leave. Alice and I are perfectly capable of handling this without your help. In fact, we don't need your help, nor do we want it."

Alice began to compose herself and sat straight up. I looked at her pleadingly as I asked, "Does she really not need me? Should I just take my leave, Alice?" I was hunched on the floor so Alice was looking me straight in the eye, making her seem much taller than she was.

"She never needed you, Edward. But, she loved you way more than you ever gave her credit for. Stay or go, I don't care. I can't see the outcome either way. Only Bella will be able to tell you what she wants, but for now, all we can do is wait."
