The weather man has excitedly exclaimed that another rainy day was coming to the small town of Forks. What a surprise, it always rained here? My dad Charlie is happy that I am slowly getting back to normal. Really I am not, I just want him to stop saying he failed me. It's nothing to do with him. Yet, it still hurts to know my life isn't mine anymore-he took it with him when he left. I still miss him everyday. I think what hurt me more was that Alice left without telling me bye. I thought she would be the one person who wouldn't do that to me. I can now say it's been two and a half weeks since that horrible day. Sometimes I even wish Sam hadn't found me.

I don't blame him for leaving. Really never understood what he saw in plain old Jane me. What I do blame is myself for getting that stupid paper cut. He was so much to me; he meant everything to who I wanted to be. I didn't blame Jasper; he was only acting on impulse. Alice would never have let him hurt me. I tried to follow him when he told me he didn't want me anymore, but I got lost instead.

School is letting out, another stupid day spent in dream land. None of my friends even pay any attention to me; I guess it's because of the way I have been acting. Mainly have been shunning everyone, I even sit at the old Cullen table by myself just to try to be closer to him. Lauren and Jessica never really were my friends; Angela says 'hi' still but sits with everyone else. It's sad that a bunch of vampires seem normal to me compared to the human's around me.

One person who will not stop bugging me is Jacob Black. The same immature boy who exposed the Cullen's to me for who they really were "the cold ones," but to me it didn't matter. Even right now it still doesn't matter. I feel the same way about him as I did that first day I saw him. Nothing has changed except that maybe I now have a huge whole in my heart because he took that part away from me. I was thinking so I didn't hear the door open to Newton's Outfitter's store.

"Hey, Bella. What's going on?" asked a familiar voice. I turned to see Mike Newton standing beside me. "My mom asked me to come down and close up early. So your free to leave." He replied. I had pushed everyone away when he left. Mike has kept his space, but he still tries to be nice to me.

"Thanks Mike. I'll see you at school." I replied with a fake smile on my face. He gave me a smile.

"Bella, it'll get easier. You'll get over him" he stated as we moved out of the store. I gave him another small smile and headed to my truck. It was still light out and Charlie wouldn't be home for a while. I decided it was time to go to his house. I left the parking lot and headed out of town toward where his home was.

It seemed like it took ages to get to the house. When I stopped my truck the house loomed ahead of me. I got out and began to walk up the gravel path toward the steps to the front door. The memory of my birthday party lingered in my mind; I could smell the scent of fresh cut roses that were all lined up the steps to the door. She had completely gone overboard with the whole thing. I missed her though; I had really gotten attached to her after the whole near death experience with James.

My hand lingered on the door handle as I thought or maybe hoped that it was locked. I turned the knob, of course it was unlocked. Now I simply pushed it open to gaze into the still furnished living room of their home. All of the belongings down stairs made it seem like they might just be gone on a vacation. It wasn't like they were gone. I decided I needed to see his room if nothing else. I had to be sure this wasn't some sort of trick.

I headed up the stairs to the hallway that led to his room. I turned the door knob and opened the door. Everything in his room was gone except for his black couch. His clothes and all his personal things were gone. I went to sit on the couch. How could I ever think that he loved me? I was wrong to think that he could care more for me than I could for him. He was really gone, I was all alone. No matter what he could have stayed to keep me safe and sane? Being here in his room felt nice, I got up to move on and was caught off guard by his scent; it still vaguely lingered in the air of his room. It too would soon be gone, just like him. That thought brought tears to my eyes. I decided to move on to Emmett and Rosalie's room. I looked into it only to see that it to was empty just like his room. Their scents were in the air as well, but not as strong as his.

I wasn't going to look into Esme and Carlisle room because it would be wrong. So I headed to Alice and Jasper's room. I was almost afraid to open the door. This was the hardest because I thought that she would never hurt me. I opened the door; it was like the other two rooms empty of all personal belongings except for a desk. The desk was located up against the wall in front of their window. There were a few items scattered on the desk. I went over to investigate. In the middle of the desk was a white envelop with my name on it. I opened it and took out the letter, it as written by Alice.

Bella,

Please keep yourself safe for Edward. I'm writing this after your disastrous birthday party that I threw for you. How could I not have seen that it was going to end the way that it did. Forgive me for Jasper's lack of self-control. He really felt bad and really didn't mean to try and hurt you. Luckily Edward was beside you to protect you. It seems all he does is protect you from the dangers of our kind. Really who would've known that a little paper cut could lead to this.

I want you to know first off that Edward is doing this not to hurt you but to keep you safe. He really feels and thinks that this is what is best for you. He would never willingly do anything to hurt you. Also, please forgive me for not telling you good-bye. It was right after he took you home that he came back with his decision to leave. He made all of us promise not to contact you, saying that it would be as if we never met. So I decided that I needed to help you along, but also decided to follow along with Edward to keep him happy.

Although before I left I decided to give you a farewell gift. Yeah I know anything to get gifts, but you'll really enjoy these gifts. In the blue bag are two of Edward's sweaters sealed in zip-lock bags to keep his scent. Go crazy with that gift. Hopefully they'll help you when you feel lonely. In the red bag is some cash, believe me you will need it for the future. Do not leave it behind take it and enjoy it. If not for yourself, do it for me because I am not there to spend money on you. Also in the envelop are some pictures of our family, I know Edward took the ones you had when he left you.

Please take good care of yourself. I also will tell you Edward's real birthday gift to you is in the garage, he was really scared of your reaction to it so he decided not to give it to you. Enjoy it, believe me when I tell you this is the hardest thing we've all ever done before. We have never gotten this close to a human and left them behind. Never forget that this isn't your fault.

Love Always Your Friend,

Alice

PS. Leave all your worries here and start a fresh when you leave our house. We'll meet again someday, I promise you that.

I quickly grabbed to two bags and went back outside. I got into my truck and pulled it around to the back where the garage was located. All of there cars were in it, they hadn't taken any of them along with them. So maybe they did plan on returning one day not just any time soon. Out of place among all the expensive vehicles in here was a Honda CRV. It still had a big red bow on it. The thought that he bought me a car brought tears to my eyes. He really did love me and want to keep me safe. I noticed under the driver's side wiper there was another envelop only this time the handwriting was Edward's.
