I do not own Twilight.

I jumped when Alice screamed out from whatever it was she saw in her vision. She turned to me with wild eyes.

"Bella, whatever your planning on doing , DON"T! " She was shaking me hard. Jake rushed to us and yanked on Alice to get her to let me go. She truly was upset.I've never seen her so agitated.

"Alice, what are you talking about? The only plans I have are to leave tomorrow and I was considering going to Angela's and making sure she was okay before I left. You could even follow me so I could drop off the truck." She was shaking her head even before I finished my sentence.

"No! You can't. That's what I saw In my vision. Something has changed. I didn't see this, there are more than we knew about. One of them sees you driving in that area and attacks you. He kills you before we can get to you. Bella, please don't go and take that chance!" She is pleading with me. She must of realize she scared me into changing my mind because she nodded her head and sighed in relief.

She turned to Jake "Can you take her home? I need to meet with everyone and tell them the about the new situation." She hugged me and got in her car and left us. Jake was looking at me and I could see he was thinking about something. He seemed to come to a decision because he said we needed to hurry, he had an elders meeting tonight.

As he drove me home I was trying to wrap my thoughts around the thought of even more vampires were now after me. My life so wasn't normal! I really wasn't sure what normal even was anymore. But then I never was in sync with the world.

My dad and Tori was waiting in the front yard for me. Alice had already informed them of the news. Dad wrapped his arms around me and we all told Jake goodbye. We walked inside and I notice our bags by the door. I stood there for a long moment wondering again, if this was really a good idea. What was I going to do?

I told them I wasn't hungry and went to my room. I turned on my music and sat on my bed. I let the memories run through my mind. Of both Nic and Edward. I must of fell asleep because before I knew it my alarm was going off. I slowly opened my eyes and found staring into Edward's gold eyes. He smiled slowly and touched my cheek. My heart skipped a beat and I smiled sleepily back.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." He greeted me.

"Hi." I responded back. Wow. He really is the most beautiful male I have ever seen.

He told me " I couldn't stay away. I couldn't bear to stay away since you are leaving today...." He didn't finish his sentence. We both knew.

We didn't need words. We just laid there together, just being together. There was a knock on my door so I knew it was time to get up.

"Bella, please don't worry about these new vamps. We will take care of it. No one knows where you are going so they can't find you." He told me.

He was sitting on the edge of my bed when I turned back to him. He looked so lost and unsure. He held his hand out to me. I walked back to him and he wrapped his arms around my waist and laid his head on my stomach. He pulled away and smiled my favorite half smile.

"I want you to have good time. Just have fun and relax. Try not to think about Vincent and the vamps. Don't think about us or the future. It will all work out. I want us to have a future but I want you to be happy. If its not with me then I'll learn to deal with it. If it is then I'll be the happiest man in the world." He squeezed my waist and let me go.

I started to say something but he didn't let me.

"Don't. Just know I love you and this isn't goodbye. I'll never say that again to you. Even if you choose Nic, I'll always be here and waiting for you to come back to me. "

Then he leaned in and kissed me. I was flooded with love for him. That was never a issue. I knew I loved him. But was it a love that would be constant? Would I be able to get past the fears and uncertainty of him leaving me again? I always felt I wasn't good enough, nothing special. Plain ole Bella. Would I ever see my own self worth?

So I stood there and watched him walk to the window. He turned one more time and said

"I love you Bella." And I watched him disappear. For a moment I felt the pain in my heart again. But this time the pain wasnt' just mine. I was about to make a choice that involved the future of three people. Someone was going to be hurt.

I decided to take a shower and get ready for our long drive. As I turned to head to the shower I bounced of a hard body, hit the bed and tumbled over the other side. I layed there and wonder,for the upteenth time, what I did to tick of gravity. I sighed as I was about to stand up when Nic lifted me up. I looked up at him and saw him smiling at me.

"Sorry Bella. I did knock a few times but you didn't answer. I knew he was gone so I wanted to see if you ready. We need to leave soon. I guess you were pretty deep in thought."

"Yeah I was. Its ok Nic. I need take a shower, I'll be ready in about 20 mins."

He just looked at me and walked out. I gathered my clothes and went to get ready.

I stayed in the shower longer than needed. I was thinking about Angela and wishing I could be there for her. But I didn't want to lead a trail to her so I stayed away. The water started to get cold so I got out. The mirror was foggy but I saw my reflection. Pale skin, wet dark hair, big brown eyes. I already looked the part of a vampire. Now I just needed to decide who's venom was going to seal my fate.

I walked downstairs ready to begin the next chapter in my life. Everyone was waiting for me in the living room. I saw Alice and told her thank you for finishing my packing for me. She just smiled.

My dad spoke up "Ok, we're ready to go." He started grabbing bags and others helped. I walked to Alice and grabbed her arm. She turned to look at me.

"Of coarse Bella, you know I'll keep whatever I see to myself. You know you can trust me."

I hugged her, thanked her and turn to head outside. Nic was standing by his bike and my Dad and Tori were talking to Carlisle and Esme. Emmett and Rosalie were standing a bit back. Neither looked happy. Alice walked to Jasper and took his hand. I tried not to be obvious but I couldn't help but look for Edward I felt his absence deeply. I walked to the bike and put on my helmet. Everyone was saying goodbye and I felt the familiar pull. I turned around and saw him. He was at the edge of the woods. He didn't smile or wave. He kept his promise.

He never told me goodbye.

Jasper must of felt my wavering for he walked over to me and helped me with the helmet straps.

"Have fun, little sis." and he helped me on the back of the bike.

My dad and Toria started the car and we all took off.

I looked back one last time and saw them all standing together as a unit, a family looking sad.

I couldn't find Edward anywhere. He was gone.

As I wrapped my arms around Nic when I felt my wrist catch on his shirt. I looked down and saw what had happened.

I was wearing a bracelet. One I have never seen before. I lifted it up to my face and saw it had a diamond on it. It reminded me of Edward. Of coarse. He must of put in me when I slept. I could see the faucets sparkling in the sunlight. As I was staring at it I saw him running in the forest beside us. I just stared at him till I couldn't see him anymore.

I felt my heart thumping hard and it took every ounce of will I had to not to jump off the bike and run to him. Nic must of noticed Edward because the bike sped up and then everything was blur.

I was about to begin a journey of discovery. Would I have what it takes to step up and step out of my fear and doubts. Could I embrace the man I love and be happy? And find the biggest answer of them all...Which man do I truly love...for all of eternity.

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I would love to hear from you.
