A/N: Okay, this wasn't as long of a wait, but it was still long. Here's chapter 6. I remembered! Okay, I lied. I cheated. I looked at the previous chapter. And I'm going to laugh my head off if I get it wrong. Anyway, I made you wait long enough, let's not make it any longer.

Charlie POV (Past)

I woke up expecting to smell eggs and bacon, like Bella usually did on the weekends. But the kitchen was empty. I grabbed the cereal and milk and ate. It wasn't until after I was dressed that I noticed the note.

Dear Charlie,

I mean, Dad. I'm sorry that I left for no reason. Complications have come to my attention and I had to leave. I won't leave you forever. I just need some time off. One day I'll tell you what this note is about, but I'm just not ready for that. And even though you don't know yet what I've done, please forgive me. I can do something about this, but I'm choosing a different route to go about. Please don't call mom, as she already knows. Please forgive me.

Love,

Bella

I could see the tear marks that had fallen when she wrote the note. For the first time since Renee left me, I cried. I cried because I had lost the last thing that was really dear to me. I knew she would see me again, but who knew when that would be? When I was lying on my death bed? I would hope not, but you never know.

Carlisle POV

I woke at my usual time, as I had to leave early everyday. Everyone was asleep while I was making my breakfast. Slowly, one by one, they trudged down the stairs. I laughed at my sleepy children and continued eating. I looked around for the paper and saw that I had forgot it.

"Can someone please bring me the newspaper?" Alice, being her chipper self, volunteered and skipped out side. It wasn't until moments later, when I saw her sulking in that I knew something was wrong.

"Alice, what's the matter?' I said, making my way towards to her. She handed me a note and said to read it out loud.

Dear Cullen's,

I would first like to apologize for leaving at such short notice. I know it may be hard on some of you because I could feel your love last night and I knew that you loved me as if I was part of the family. But I ask you of this favor: Please don't look for me. I need some time alone to figure things out. My life has been complicated for the last day or so. Please forgive me. Don't blame anyone but me. I caused this and no one is to blame for my departure. I don't know if I'll come back. I don't know if you'll want me back after you've figured everything out.

Love,

Bella

(P.S. I have left notes with your names on them. They are only to be read by the person I wrote them to. Please don't let anyone else see them except that person. Oh and don't say a word of what's in your letter cause if I know some of you, you'll try to.)

I examined the paper. It was covered in tears and the ink was smudged in places from where she must have wiped her eyes and set it on the wet ink. Esme was crying and Rosalie and Alice was comforting her. Emmett and Jasper looked sad as well, clearly showing that they cared for Bella. But Edward looked the worst. It looked as if his heart was broken and that he would die any second from it.

"Alice, where are the notes?"

"Right here." She gave them to each person, except Edward. She looked at him, on the verge of tears.

"I'm sorry Edward. There, there's no note for you." Edward looked down and breathed in deep. He grabbed the nearest thing and threw it. Everyone was shocked, but no one dare stop him. He ran to his room, where I heard more things being thrown against the wall.

-The notes- (We ask that you don't read these as they are to be only viewed by the person Bella wrote them for.)

~Carlisle~

Dear Carlisle,

I would like to say first off, thank you for all the times you helped me in the emergency room! If it wasn't for you, I would be dead or seriously maimed! But that's not the only reason why I'm thanking you. I would like to thank you for putting up with me. For being so kind to me. I've never had any other family act so kindly to me and I feel like I'm family. I never meant to hurt by leaving, I just had to. You would understand if you know my situation I am in. But anyway, you always were a compassionate person. That's what I loved most about you. You always found the good in people and showed them you truly cared about their well being. Thank you for caring about me.

Love,

Bella

~Esme~

Dear Esme,

Thank you, for one, for being a mother to me. You are such a loving person and your acts of kindness will not be forgotten. You were the mother I need at times. And I know that it was difficult having two daughters and three sons plus me, it was probably a hassle! And I want to thank you for taking care of me and being there for me when my dad necessarily couldn't. And thank you for loving as if I was your own daughter. I will never forget you.

Love,

Bella

~Emmett~

Emmett,

We've had some good time, eh buddy? I want to say that there is no possible way to forget you! Even if they erased my memory, you would still be there. Hiding with paintball guns and water balloons. But you'd still be there! You may be an idiot sometimes, but you're also a giant teddy bear who can be funny when ever he wants to be! Sometimes I get the vibe it's not on purpose though. Anyway, you'll always be in my heart.

Love,

Bella

~Jasper~

Jasper,

You know what? I think I'll miss you the most. You were always there for me when I was stuck in problems like Math and English. And that's as useful as you get. I'm kidding! You're a sweet guy and kind and compassionate as well! Alice is a very lucky girl to have you. But I will miss more than your smarts. I'll miss your wits, kindness, everything about you! So many things, so little space! But I guess you get the idea. I'll miss you. And I'm sorry that I left. Please, somewhere deep down in your heart, forgive me and my horrible soul.

Love,

Bella

~Rosalie~

Rosalie,

I'm counting on you and Alice to keep my secret. I'm sorry that I left and everybody will probably hate especially since I didn't leave Edward a note. I guess that blows my cover. If you haven't guessed yet, Edward is the father. Say congratulations, well in your head that is. And I understand if you never forgive me. I'm a horrible person, I know. But forgive me please? I'll always see you as an older sister. Until whenever. Oh and I'll send you and Alice updates, but you can't let anyone else see them. I want to keep my secret, especially from Edward. Look for a letter from Andy Masen.

Love,

Bella

~Alice~

Alice,

Okay, I know if Rosalie didn't catch on, you would. Yes, Edward is the father. Please forgive me for everything. I completely understand if your family shuns my name every time they hear it, but somehow, find a way to forgive me. I'll send you updates but only you and Rosalie can see the letter and it's contents. My name will be Andy Masen. And don't make fun of me. I know it's Edward's surname and, in a way, his middle name. But no one will know it's me. Don't' let them get suspicious. And as a favor to me, let Edward know I don't hate him. Don't say I said that, make it seem like your saying it make him feel better but give it meaning please. I don't want him to hate me forever. Try to explain without giving out too much information. I always remember you.

Love,

Bella

Edward POV

When everyone else got their letters, I noticed she hadn't written one to me. This is made me angrier than ever before. I was sad that she left, only leaving a note, but she didn't even leave one for me, saying goodbye or telling me she'll miss me. I grabbed the closest thing to me and threw it against the wall. I could tell the family was stunned and shocked at my sudden outrage, but no one dared to stop me. I left in a huff and went to my room, throwing more things in the process. Alice came up later, trying hard to console me.

"I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it."

"Didn't mean anything by it?' I laughed in a crazed sort of way. "She writes everyone a letter, except me. I thought she was my friend. I thought she liked me."

"More than you know." Alice sighed. I looked at her, clearly confused. Alice saw my confusion and shook it off.

"Look, trust me. You may have been Bella's best guy friend, but Rose and I were her best girlfriends. We know girl things and we know that she doesn't hate you. She didn't even have to say it for us to know."

"What are you getting at Alice?"

"She loved you."

"Are you crazy Alice?"

"No, you are. It's weird how the two people who are clearly in love with each other don't see it themselves. Everyone already knows that you're both madly in love with one another."

"I don't like Bella like that and she doesn't like me either."

"You're right. You don't like her like that because you love her and she doesn't like you, she loves you. Please, just understand that she doesn't hate you and never could."

"Alice, can you leave me alone. I need some time to cool off."

"Whatever." She stormed out of the room, effectively slamming the door in my face. I sat on my bed, falling down in the process. I sighed to myself and tried to fall asleep to relax my nerves.

Bella POV

I looked at the house in front of me. Renee's old house still hadn't been put up for rent. I had talked to a real estate agent who allowed me to rent it for 1,235 a month. I smiled and kindly refused. I couldn't afford anything over 500. I still had enough money for another flight and I decided to go to Seattle. I knew the area and I could get a job working at a book store or a restaurant. I picked up my bags, called a cab and headed for the airport once more.

~3 ½ hours later~

Back in Seattle. I headed out, grabbing my bags and walking outside to catch a cab. The first place I went to was to the beauty salon. If I was going to live here, I would have to change my identity completely. I got my hair bleached blonde with brown highlights in it. I picked up some blue contacts and I set out to find an apartment. I found a place easily and in about an hour I was ready to unpack. But the problem was I didn't have much to unpack. Plus I would need a job if I wanted to afford the apartment, clothes and necessities for my child and I. I called another cab, yet again and went to Bella Italia. I thankfully got the job and met the manager and his wife.

"Oh! Hi. . ."

"Andy." I smiled and shook her hand.

"Andy. It's nice to meet you Andy." I noticed that she was also pregnant, probably in her first trimester.

"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?"

"Oh no! We want it to be a surprise. You can come to my baby shower, if you want."

"Oh thank you." I smiled warmly and she led me on, showing me what I would be doing.

"Okay, you'll be witnessing, is that alright."

"Yes. Well, for a while. Sooner or later it might get difficult for me. I'm clumsy and that mixed with being pregnant doesn't help."

"You're pregnant too? That's wonderful! How long have you been with the father? You don't look very old."

"Actually I'm only 18."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. . ."

"Oh no! It's not like that. He doesn't even know about the baby."

"Why don't you tell him?"

"I doubt he wants a baby, especially if it's partly mine. I don't think he loves me as much as I love him."

"Well he had to love you if you're in this predicament." She said, smiling and pointing to the small bump underneath my shirt.

"It doesn't matter anyway. So when do you want me to work?"

"You don't have to work today. Here, let me get you some money so you can buy some new things. I'm taking you just moved here?"

"Yes, but-"

"No buts. Just take it. It'll make me happy."

"It will make me happier if you just take it out of my paycheck."

"Alright, but only because I like you." She smiled at me and pushed me out the door. I took a bus to the mall and went to the motherhood store. I was surprised to see a spiky black head bobbing up and down the aisles. Afraid that she would see me, I ducked. I most have forgot about my disguise because when Alice saw me hiding, she thought I was someone else.

"Hello! Do you need help finding anything?"

"Why? Do you work here?" She let out a musical laugh.

"No, I just know fashion and what would look good on people. I was actually here because my friend is expecting and I wanted to surprise her with some new clothes." I smiled to myself, thankful that she had forgiven me.

"That's sweet of you to do that for your friend."

"Yeah, well I doubt she will really care what it looks like or not. She never was one for fashion." She giggled at a memory and sighed.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I'm Alice and you are?"

"Hello Alice, I'm Andy." I winced, remembering I told her what I would be going by.

"That's interesting." She walked around me, as if searching for something. She stopped in front of me and looked me in the eyes, staring for minutes until a smile spread on her face.

"I knew it! It is you!" She wrapped her tiny arms around my frame and I relaxed in her grip.

"Why are you here? I mean, I thought you would be halfway across the U.S. terrain."

"I was in Phoenix, but it cost too much to live there, and I don't have the money you do!" We both laughed and Alice got serious.

"Bella, I need to ask you something."

"What?"

"Why didn't you leave Edward a note?" I sighed.

"I couldn't. You saw the tear stains all over the paper, he wouldn't even be able to read it. I don't even know how to tell him or make sense of my feelings. Just tell me that you told him I didn't hate him."

"I tried Bella, I mean, Andy. You should have seen him. When he saw that you didn't leave him a letter, he went crazy. He threw things and screamed, pulling out his hair. When I tried talking to him, he just denied everything I threw at him." I started sobbing at what I caused.

"What have I done?" I cried some more, and when my tears were dried and I knew I had to ask her.

"Does he hate me?" She sighed and took a deep breath.

"He may say he hates you, but on the inside he's broken about your departure. He misses you, no matter what his action show."

"Look, I need to go. It's getting late."

"Will I see you again?"

"I don't know." She gave me big hug and said her goodbye's. I got something to eat, seeing as I was eating for two nowadays, and went to my new home to catch up on some much needed rest.

A/N: This is by far the longest chapter I have written. I'm proud of myself! So, I hope you liked it! Please review!
