"Just when we think we figured things out, the universe throws us a curveball. So, we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find ourselves back to the things that matter the most. The universe is funny that way. Sometimes it just has a way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong."

- Meredith Grey

One year.

One year since becoming the very thing her best friend lived to kill.

One year was all it took for Bella's world to fall apart. She had given up her best friend Jacob and the family that came with him, she had given up her humanity and lastly, she lost the love of her life that she had given everything up for...

Bella Cullen had kept in contact with Charlie, it was the one thing she swore she would never give up. Charlie knew Bella wasn't the same old Bell's, he knew she was a vampire, ever since Jacob kindly introduced him to the world of the supernatural, Charlie had one request and that was that he just didn't want to know more about that world, other than there were vamps and wolves, the pack and Bella had both agreed on that. Bella was happy that at least he understood now and his relationship with Billy was no longer so strained. Bella called Charlie twice a week and he filled her in on everything in his life, even if there was nothing, they both enjoyed the calls.

Charlie had begun dating Sue 6 months ago, they were very much in love, Leah and Seth were happy their mum had Charlie. Bella was excited that Charlie had someone to look after him and she had adored Sue. Tonight's phone call had been one Bella had been preparing for, but it still took her by surprise.

"Hey bells how you doing this week"?.

"I'm good dad same old same old, some reading and some studying".

Charlie was quiet for a moment causing Bella to chuckle "Dad is there something you want to tell me, it's Wednesday you don't usually call till Friday?".

"Bell's I ugh, I asked Sue to marry me" Charlie rushed out.

"Dad I'm so happy for you both, it's been a long time coming" Bella laughed softly as Charlie relaxed.

"Thanks, Bell's, sorry I just love her so much you know, I guess what I was really worried about is, well we're getting married next weekend on the rez and I want you there kiddo".

Bella took an unneeded breath, she knew this was coming, she couldn't say no to Charlie it would crush him.

"Dad, I don't know if I can...I'm sorry, I don't think it's going to be possible". It broke Bella to say no to Charlie after everything he had done for her.

"Look dad give me Sam's number...I'll try but dad, don't hold your breath ok" she muttered out.

"Thanks, bell's I love you kiddo, I'll text you the number, ok, thank you for trying, I know it won't be easy".

Bella hung up the phone and paced the room until she heard the annoying message tone of her phone. It had been a year since she had spoken to anyone besides Charlie, that was the deal she had made with him. She stared at the number in front of her and quickly hit call, she hadn't really felt nervous in the last year but she knew that this phone call would only be the beginning of her nerves.

"Hello, Sam Uley speaking".

"Sam, hi It's Bella Cullen, please don't hang up" she rushed out quickly.

"Cullen what can I do for you"

"Sam sorry to disturb you, Charlie gave me your number... look Charlie and Sue are getting married, I'm sure you're aware".

"Yes, Bella" Sam grunted out.

"Look, Sam, I know I'm asking a lot but is there any chance we can put the treaty on hold for one day, please it's just me coming and I really need to be there for Charlie, please Sam" Bella was almost begging she could hear it in her voice.

"Bella I've already spoken to Jacob, we'll give you one day on our land, but don't feed near Forks or La Push"

"Thank you, Sam, yes, of course, this really means a lot, do you want me to meet with you when I first arrive?"

"You will be meeting with Jacob at the border Bella, he's Alpha now," Sam said softly

"oh ok sorry to disrupt you, Sam, I'll see you at the wedding".

"Wait Bella...look things have changed, some of the pack still love you and can look past you being a vamp, and the others will tolerate you for Charlie and Sue, but Bella, Jacob is different, he's not the Jake you left behind" Sam spoke softly.

"Thank you, Sam, bye" Bella muttered as she hung up.

Bella messaged Charlie telling him she would make it to the wedding, he was so happy, Bella smiled as she put her phone down and headed to her room. She was returning to Forks, the place where everything started, she just hoped to god she could survive the weekend and she prayed she could keep her new life to herself, but that's the thing about life, you never get what you want...
