On the plane ride to Forks I couldn't help but think about how my life had gone full circle. How many times would I be bound to return to Forks over my now infinite existence? To the place where it all began, and ended.

As the plane touched down I began to wonder if I should take a car or run. I didn't have the patience to wait in line for a rental but it would be safer. I had to keep up appearances after all. If my time with the Cullens had taught me anything it was this.

I walked up to the rental office and sighed with relief when I saw that there wasn't anyone in line. I shouldn't have worried about it. I guess that over the almost three years since I had been gone I hadn't forgotten how 'slow' this area was. I took the fastest car they had, a bright yellow mustang, and once inside I drove fast enough to make even Alice happy.

As I traveled down a tree lined road I couldn't help but want to cry. I had never really planned to come back to this place but I would for Charlie. He was so good to me after how rotten I had been when I was younger. He loved me even when I wasn't here. And tried to help even when he didn't know what was happening.

I didn't know what I would do when I was face to face with Charlie. My eyes were no longer the bright red of a new born vampire but I hadn't had a chance to pick up more colored contacts before coming. He would see my golden eyes. I couldn't help but wonder what he would think if I wore sun glasses while I was in his room.

I pulled up in front of the hospital and sucked in my breath as I noticed a Volkswagen rabbit park a few spots over. I wondered what Jacob would do when he found out I was a vampire. As far as I knew he only knew I left Phoenix, but not why. This would be an interesting visit to Forks.

I walked up to the desk once I entered the hospital and started ask for Charlie's room but the receptionist stopped me. "Bella, I told him you would come!"

I couldn't place who she was but as long as she told me where my father was I wouldn't care. "Where is he?"

"He's on the second floor. Room A27."

"Thank you!" I said as I rushed at a human speed to the elevator. It seemed as if the stupid metal box took two hours instead of two minutes to reach the second floor. As the doors dinged open I looked at the sign and raced towards the corridor that my fathers room should be in.

I found the room and as I started to open the door I stopped, a harsh smell assailing my nose. It was worse then wet dog!!! Well I guess I knew what that smell was. I backed away slowly, making no sound. I walked down the hall and waited inside an empty conference room. I could only hope that the wolves senses would be dulled by being in the hospital and surrounded by so many other scents.

I waited for a few minutes when I heard the door to Charlie's room start to open. I had purposely not paid any attention to the conversation coming from inside but now I couldn't help but listen.

"I called her. But she didn't say anything other then snap at me when she realized who was calling." I heard Jacob saying to someone. "I don't even know where she was or who she was with. That damn blood sucker probably changed his mind again and has her holed up somewhere under lock and key."

"I'm sure she'll be here. Bella wouldn't do that to her father." Billy said. "She wouldn't stay away…"

Billy stopped as Jacob breathed in deeply and growled. I quickly made sure the door was still locked and I went to the other side of the room, hoping he wouldn't break the door down.

"What's wrong?" Billy asked, although he sounded like he already knew. I heard he follow Jacob as he crept closer to the conference room door.

"A blood sucker was here. And the scent is fresh." Jacob growled as he tried to open the door. He snarled as he found it locked and he pulled on it.

"Don't break the door. Maybe it's just Carlise coming to see if he can help." Billy replied, trying to calm Jacob down.

"Or its Edward coming to gloat. Either way, they can bring Bella back and stay out of ours territory."

"This is technically their territory Jake. Be careful what you do." Billy responded softly.

Jacob leaned closer to the door and began to whisper through the thin barrier. "Listen here Blood sucker. I don't care which one you are or why you're here. But if you hurt Charlie or Bella I will personally hunt down your entire Coven. You have overstayed your welcome in Forks. With all the crap you've put her through Bella still backs you even when you had all but killed her. I won't be so lenient. I want you out of this town now. Treaty or no."

I listened as he wheeled Billy down the hall and stepped onto the elevator. I waited a few moments more before I unlocked the door and opened it. I examined the handle and noticed it was twisted. I wondered if it was right for me to have hidden and let then think I was one of the Cullens. Although now I guess, in a way, I was. I walked to Charlie's door and slowly opened it. Unprepared for the site of him attached to so many tubes and monitors.

As I watched the monitor show his heart rate I broke down in dry sobs. If I had come back to Forks instead of running away would I have been able to keep this from happening? Was I responsible? I closed my eyes as the anguish rushed over me. If only I had stayed!

"It's okay Bella." I heard Charlie whisper from the bed. I had thought he was asleep but I must have awakened him. I didn't think but I moved to his bed side as quickly as I could. I was a blur as I crossed the room and laid my head on his chest.

"I'm so sorry dad. This is all my fault." I cried out to him. "I should have stayed here instead of going to Phoenix."

"It's your fault? It's your fault I got cancer?" Charlie chuckled as he held me and patted my head. "No Bella. None of this is your fault. It would have happened with you here or not. The only that I wish had been different is that we would have had more time together."

Time. Time had always been my enemy. I held him as tight as I could without hurting him then slowly looked up at him.

"I'm sorry I left. But I had too. There is so much that happened that you don't know about. I didn't want you in danger." I said as he looked at my face.

"Bella, what happened to your eyes?" he asked in a whisper. "Are you alright? Are you sick too? Is that why you left?"

"No dad. I'm not sick. I'm just different now. I didn't leave for any reason other then my own demons." I hesitated before I asked the question that was uppermost in my mind. "What do the doctors say?"

Charlie lay back against the bed, defeated. I noticed how gray and fragile looking he was. I started to get really scared when I realized that he was thinking about what he wanted to say. As if he didn't want to scare me. "Spit it out dad."

He sighed before looking at me again. "It's not good Bella. I don't have much time. We caught it late and the cancer has spread too rapidly and now, there isn't anything they can do for me."

"Have they given you a time frame? At all?"

He closed his eyes and sighed. "One week, if that."

I sat in the chair next to his bed, stunned. "Just one week?"

"Yes."

"But, you still young. How did this happen?"

"The doctors don't know. It just did Bella. No one is to blame."

I sat there, the thoughts swirling through my head. One week! I couldn't give up my dad. Not again.

As I sat there I didn't at first notice that Charlie had another visitor. I turned around and saw…….

....Oooo wonder who it is....
