Chapter 10: Last Call Goodbye.

Disclaimer: I do not own twilight… but I do own Rachel.

Let's begin…

Rachel's POV

"So where were we?"

Bella looked away, out the window. "You were telling me I had to make a decision and how you didn't have a choice in your change. And how was lucky to get a decision." She recapped.

I sighed, "Right." I breathed.

It was quiet for a while, we both didn't want to go back into the conversation but we both knew it would have to happen sooner or later. I hoped we could just get it over right now. But I wasn't the one who was going to break the silence this time. Bella needed to learn to stand up and face the silence.

I concentrated on the memory of when Aro had forced me to change and said I would be his mate then I had learned he had been married and had lied to me so I would trust him in that instant. I learned he played games with people's emotions and minds and he didn't care if he hurt them, he only cared for his monster of himself.

I would kill him if I had the chance but I knew better then to go against him. He had connections to people that no one would think he would know, he would kill me if I thought I was disobeying him but he would try not to because he considered myself his daughter but we were never close in that father/ daughter way so I don't know why he even tried?

"I've made my choice." Bella whispered softly, bumping me out of thought.

I smiled. Relieved. "What is your decision?"

She took a deep breath and then looked at me with all the trust in the world. "I want that call."

My smile widened. "You'll let me change you? You'll never see you family again you know that, right?"

She nodded. "Yes, but I would rather not die, and I would like to say goodbye… to him." She whimpered the last word. I hated putting her through pain, but this was the only option as a way out for her, and even for myself.

I walked over to the desk and picked up my cell phone. "There are some rules when you use this phone, okay?"

She got up and walked closer to me. "What are they?" She asked eagerly.

"This phone won't trace to the location we are at and so they won't be able to find us. Tell them not to look for you, to just forget you were ever in there lives and that you don't love them anymore, tell him you found someone else. Don't tell them anything about me. Don't tell them anything considering your change, and I repeat do not let them try to find us, got it?" I didn't like to be mean and order her around but I had to be stern so she would listen to me.

She nodded and put her hand out for the phone, I didn't hand it to her yet. I wanted to hear her say it, and agree to my terms. "Say it!" I ordered.

She took a deliberate breath and then let it out saying. "I agree to your terms and I will follow your rules, promise."

"Good." I handed her the phone and she grasped it in her hand tight like it was the only thing left to hold on to in the whole world, but it probably was for her and her true love.

She looked up at me with sad eyes. "May I please be alone?"

I didn't think that was a good idea but she was trusting me and so I was going to trust her. "Yes, I'll just be on the bed reading, I promise to not listen the conversation." I got up and walked to the bed. I picked up my copy of Vampire Daires and started where I had left off.

I couldn't believe they think this is how Vampires live, we don't burn in the sun our eyes turn colors and they don't stay the human color and well, we try not to fall in love with mortals but sometimes it just happens.

I heard Bella dialing a number and then she was whispering, she was holding back tears. I could see it in her face. "Edward…" She whispered broken.

Edward's POV

I ran through the forest hoping to find some scent of her still lingering. But there was nothing so far. I also knew I had to be careful because Chief Swan had heard that Bella was missing and had people searching for her. I was being careful so if they were in the woods we wouldn't cross paths.

I was still worried about Alice but I was more anxious to now where and if Bella was okay, I would do a nothing to just hold her in my arms. I wished there was some more clues as to where maybe I could find her but nothing so far. Well…maybe… the new girl, what was her name? Rabecca? Rachella? Rachel? Yes that's it, her name was Rachel, she seemed pretty innocent with everything with her being new and everything.

But she was the last one to see Bella, from what I heard is that she had left school after Bella had talked to her, the call had been about how her aunt had fallen down a set of stairs at her apartment down in San Diego. She had left for a couple days to go help her recover? Was that just a cover up story for something else entirely?

I had looked all over Washington and had decided I would check her scent for a trail around the surrounding states, I wouldn't rest till I found something. I was running on the way to Oregon, Emmett and Rose had went to Montana to look. I was grateful for there help and it made me feel some what better knowing we had a better chance at finding Bella when there were more people searching.

My phone in my pocket started ringing, I knew it would be Esme calling asking how the searching was going and updating me on Alice's condition, so I ignored it, I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. But it kept up it's ringing and I decided I would answer it- I stopped by a tree and leaned against it- incase it was urgent, or even Emmett with an update so I answered. "Hello?" I sad with out any emotion.

I heard the most beautiful sound in the world. "Edward…" Bella whispered in the phone.

I started babbling so fast I was afraid she wouldn't catch it all. "Oh Bella where are you sweetie? Are you okay? Come on, Love. Tell me where you are and I will come get you. Please answer me Bella I love you, please tell me you are okay? What happened? Is this Rachel's doing?"

I didn't hear anything for a moment and that worried me. What does that mean? But then her sweet voice was whispering again. "I'm so sorry Edward." She started sobbing on the other end. "I'm so sorry." She repeated her self.

"Sweetie, what wrong? What are you sorry for?" I asked her desperately. What was wrong? Was she hurt?

I heard sniffling on the other side and some rustling and then a sharp and loud thud. "Bella? Are you still there?"

I heard her moving a little then she was talking again. "I'm fine." She sniffed. "I'm so sorry." She kept saying it over and over but she wasn't crying as hard anymore, or least she was trying not to.

"Bella, please tell me where you are? I'll come get you and we can talk." I pleaded.

"I'm sorry, I can't." She responded as calmly as she could.

"What do you mean you can't?"

"I'm not coming home, Edward." WHAT?! What was she talking about?

"What do you mean, Bella? I don't understand? Why aren't you coming home, sweetie?" I didn't understand, I really wanted to just find her, we could talk it out that way.

"I'm not coming home, this is Goodbye." She stated simply.

No, no I couldn't lose her, I wouldn't lose her no matter what it took. I had to find out where she was first of all then take care of what ever problem there was that was holding her back from coming home then we could talk about everything. I would always be with her. I couldn't live without her, I wouldn't love with out her in my life.

"WHY?" I cried out.

"Because… I don't love you." She said.

What? Why? How? I didn't understand I was so confused. How could this be happening? Why would she say she didn't love me? We had already been through this, when I had left, why was she saying this now that she didn't love me when we had already pronounced out love to each other so many times?

"You… don't… love…. me?" I pronounced each word carefully, like when I said them each one would crack my already dead heart into pieces.

I heard her breath out a long breath and then she was talking again. "I… found someone else Edward… I don't need you anymore."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"So… Ill never see you again?"

"No."

"Why not, I want to know the full extent, why?"

"Sorry." She whispered for the millionth time.

"Would you at least give me a FULL DAMN SENTENCE, NOT JUST ONE WORD ANSWERS?!" I roared.

"No, Sorry, can't." She sounded more confident now, WHAT THE HELL?

"After everything we've been through together, your breaking us up, again." I sneered. "Last time we were apart, we almost killed ourselves."

I didn't like sneering at her, I hated being angry at her at all. No I wasn't mad at HER! I was made at who ever had taken her away in the first place so she cold go off and find someone else.

"I know but, things happen, people change." She muttered.

"Yeah PEOPLE change, Bella your not just a person, you're a wonderful woman who is beautiful and smart and funny nd sensitive, and so much more so tell me, have you really moved on?"

I paused, no answer.

I counted to ten and still no answer.

I counted to one hundred, no answer.

Two hundred, no answer.

Three hundred, no answer.

I couldn't take it anymore. "Bella? Are you still there?"

I heard more ruffling, then another thump like the one before and then I heard frantic whispering. "Bella?"

"WHAT?" she screamed in the phone.

"Sorry, just wondering if your okay?" It seamed we were saying the word sorry a lot today.

"Yeah, fine." She spat.

I hated the way she was treating me, even over the damn phone. But dammit, not matter what I still loved her. I was trying not to get impatient and yell back or be mean in any way, that would just make things worse between us. I wanted to persuade her to come home and this fighting wasn't helping.

"So…" I trailed off.

"Goodbye, Edward." She whispered quieter then I thought she would.

Then the phone disconnected. I had to find her and give her a proper goodbye, no I would find her and persuade her to come home and be safe and loved in my arms and with my family. I wanted to be with her so much, I ached for her touch, to hold her in my arms.

I started running again, I was going to need to find Jasper, he would be able to maybe track the phone call to where ever it was made and other things maybe. I knew he would be with Alice, I felt bad for Alice but I was fighting my own battles right now. If I wasn't worrying about Alice I would be helping to her figure out what was going on with her visions but I NEEDED to fine Bella. She would always be my first priority.

I kept running till I hit the boarder of Forks then I headed to m house and ran through the door finding Alice was still on the couch with a blanket around her and ice for some-unknown reason on her forehead. She was shaking and I cold see she was concentrating on being calm and ignoring the pain in her head, which I could feel by the way.

Jasper didn't look up as I entered the house, Esme and Carlisle weren't in sight. I looked back at Jasper, he needed to hunt badly, I could see the circles under his eyes. I walked up and put a hand on his shoulder. He still hadn't looked away from Alice.

"Jasper…" I whispered.

He looked up and I felt and read the stress on his face. She's getting worse. He told me

"Jasper, I'm so sorry." I whispered.

I held in my emotions as much as I could so I wouldn't put more weight on his shoulders but the pain I was feeling about most likely that there may be a chance I would never see Bella again was to strong for me to hold back.

Edward, please, control some of your emotions. It's not helping me from trying to stay calm about Alice's situation

"I'll try." I whispered back.

Thanks, Bro.

I sighed. "Jasper I know that you are in a bad mood, but I need a favor, please Jasper… it's important, it's about Bella."

His head snapped up when he heard Bella's name. Did find her?

"I wish Jas, I really wish."

He pressed his lips together then looked at Alice with her eyes closed and concentrating on everything in her head that she hadn't even noticed I was here. What do you need me for?

I gave him my phone and scrolled to recent calls and showed him the number. "She called."

Hope you all liked, sorry for such late updating. I won't be able to up date till at least Sunday so sorry. B ut I will have ore coming, that is a promise I can succeed… hopefully.

REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
