On the next morning, you notice that Bella seems to be in a sour mood, as you tap her shoulder and ask, "Hey, you okay?" "Mmn? Huh... yeah, I'm fine," she snaps back to reality. "Something just seems off," you think to yourself, noticing that the Cullens are not at school today and that Carlisle is no longer responding to your texts. Something feels wrong, but you push away the uncomfortable feeling for the time being. 

You try to put the thoughts about the Cullens being out for a hunt, not wanting to worry yourself too much. You sit with Bella and her friends that day, trying your best to stay in touch with them and keep them company. However, something feels off, and it's obvious that both your and Bella's minds are drifting off to other places.

After school, you tell Bella that you might go to the hospital to check if Carlisle had gone to work that day. She simply nods and drives home on her own. When you arrive at the hospital, you try to find his usual parked car outside, but it isn't there, which only amplifies your concern.

 You decide to check out the park, which is your usual place where you two meet. As you approach him, you notice that he's standing still, his eyes fixed across the lake. Wearing a blue jacket and black pants, he seems to be lost in his thoughts as you walk up to his side and stare out at the lake as well. Neither of you says a word, letting silence fill in the space between you, though that silence feels somewhat calming to you.

"So, what's up?" you ask, beginning to talk, though you feel your hands start to shake as they grow cold, which is unusual for you due to your usual calm and relaxed demeanor. "If I ask you to do something for me, will you do it?," he asks out of nowhere, his voice sounding stern but his expression seemingly calm, as he looks out at the lake again. "That depends... will it hurt you... me?" you ask, peaking a glance at him, and then he nods.

"Walk with me?" he then asks, making you hesitate before taking his hand in yours. As you start to walk with him, your hands shake slightly, your entire body trembling as you remain silent, not even knowing where you're going and wondering why he's suddenly acting this way. He keeps his gaze firmly on the lake, though you can tell that he is also paying attention to your presence, as he's careful not to grip your hand too tightly.

"We have to leave Forks," he suddenly blurts out, stopping on his tracks as the two of you walk. He looks at you, looking sad as he explains, "I was supposed to be ten years older than I look. People are starting to notice." You feel concern for him as you listen, though you remain silent while also thinking of an excuse for you and Bella to leave Forks. "Okay, I'll think of something for Charlie so that us girls can get away," you say, looking back at him.

 He sighs as he shakes his head slowly, looking back at you. "Bella's not coming," he says, his tone sad, as he explains that he wishes to spare her from all of the dangers surrounding her. "Edward said he doesn't want Bella to come along. He wants her to live a normal life away from all of this," he tries to explain, which causes you to interrupt him and express your frustration. "But does bella want it?," you ask, your voice growing irritated as you think about the situation.

"Bella only wants him," you add, angrily adding, "And you can see it. Heck, I know Edward is lying right now." As you continue to express your frustration and anger, he remains silent, only letting out a soft sigh as his gaze falls on the ground.

When he suddenly says, "come with me," you look at him, feeling surprised. "Are you f***ing insane?" you angrily shout back before explaining, "leaving my sister alone? No way I'm doing that." You can see him pleading, his eyes filled with desperation as he says, "Look, I don't know what to do now. All I know is that I want you. I love you... I don't want to lose you," and you can see the pleading in his eyes.
