He left me. My life left me. I need to get out of here! I'll compel Charlie into saying I am taking a little vacation and that I am fine. 2 months that is how long you are going to be home Bella. Stefan and Damon shouldn't even be there, but what if they are? I can't face them. They might not be happy I am there but they will have to deal with it. You need this break Bella Salvatore! Besides you are only going to be there for 2 months and if things get bad you will just come back to Forks to support Charlie. He loves you. Renee loves you. Even some of the kids here seem to take fond of you. So you have nothing to worry about. I kept ranting on like that for the rest of the night. I packed I was going to tell him tomorrow that I was going then hit the airport.

It has been 2 weeks since he left. I still love him and I always will. If I ever cross him again I will tell him the truth. Maybe he figured it out and just didn't want to tell you. No he would have told me before my birth day.

When dawn hit and I went down stairs and waited for him to come downstairs. When he did, I got up and compelled him into thinking I was taking a vacation for 2 months. Then I got up and left with some of my bags. Then hit the airport.

Four hours later

I was driving into Mystic Falls, with a car I rented from the airport. I was getting nervous I had no clue what I was up against when I got to the boarding house.

When I got there I went right in thought kind of startled to find that no one was there. There always was someone there. Oh well. I went straight to my room. Put my stuff down and herd someone open a door. Immediately knew someone was home. So I walked down stairs. By the time I got down stairs I saw someone in the living room just standing there. Then he turned around and I saw who it was and tensed I didn't want to see him because I didn't necessarily want to fight with him. So when I saw him widen his eyes and tense up and my other brother come into the living room and do the same thing. I said,

"Don't worry; I don't want to cause anything. I just needed a break and came home. I will only be here for 2 months or I can leave sooner. Just please just let me stay here for right now. I won't do anything I swear!" I said. They both looked at me for a few minutes. While we looking at each other I was thinking, I wish Edward was here he could make me feel better. But he doesn't love me anymore so I guess I have to live with it. If only I told him. Thinking of him made my eyes wet. I wiped the tears away but just made me hurt more. I ran to my room and threw myself onto my bed and just started crying.

After what felt like hours, which was really ten minutes, I heard a knock on my door that was slightly already open.

"Isabella? Can I come in?" I heard Stefan ask.

"Yeah sure, I mean I don't want to ruin your life in anyway," as I said this, I sat up looked at Stefan and Stefan was walking into my room sitting on my bed looking at me with concern and trying to comfort me by and pulling me into his arms like he always used to.

"Isabella sweetie. We didn't mean to upset you in any way it's just a surprise to see you that's all." He said as Damon walked in looking at me with the same concerned eyes Stefan had.

"Yeah Izzy, I mean we haven't seen you in quiet a few years and it's hard to see you upset." Damon said sitting on the other side of me.

"You didn't really do anything I just thought about someone. It's hard to think about them." I sobbed. "I thought you guys would be mad at me so I-"

I was cut off by Stefan, "Sweetie we are not mad at you. Why would we? I mean sure, we got into that big argument ending with you leaving but we both went searching in the end to console you. We know you don't like to yell at anyone when- ISABELLA WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND?" I didn't mean for Stefan to see my hand where James had bitten me in Phoenix. So of course that kind of got Damon's hand reaching out and grabbing it and seeing what Stefan meant.

"WHO DID THIS TO YOU? I AM GOING TO KILL THEM!" Damon yelled. When Damon is pissed he is pissed. I sobbed harder into Stefan's chest.

"You can't he's already dead." I said.

"Oh, really? Who did it? I want to know what the story is." Stefan said.

"His name was James and he wanted to kill me. He was a cold one and ummm… and ummm…. Let's just say he got killed by someone and I was saved." It's hard to remember him. I was crying because of him. I miss him. I love him. But he doesn't love me so. I did want to say his name but I can't it hurts way too much.

"What else is there? You are hiding something. Something big and I just remembered something. You are not, under any circumstances, leaving here without one of us. I mean in two months you will not be leaving without one of us present and since we both need to be here you are not leaving!" Damon said. God, they always baby me too much.

"But, I have to go back or else Charlie will get worried. To answer your first question I have to have time before I can tell you ok?" I said.

"Ok you can have time. But who is Charlie because unless he is really important you will not go. I agree with Damon on this you will not go back without one of us." Stefan said firmly as I untangled myself from him.

"Well you see. A few years ago I found a man and a woman whose daughter died. I pretended to be her and act as if everything was ok. Well Renee was the mother and Charlie was the father and they were both divorced. Renee got remarried just over a little year ago. I went to stay with Charlie in Forks, Washington. I love both of them like they were my parents. I can't leave Charlie because he can't cook or anything. Please, oh please, let me be able to go back. I'll come back a year after I graduate. Then I will go where ever you want me to go. Please?" I begged.

Stefan and Damon shared a long look. Then suddenly Damon said, "Fine, but you have to be back in a year. Understood?" He asked.

"Yes, oh Yes, Thank you!" I hugged both of them. Stefan, then, got up and asked me if I wanted to go meet his girlfriend. I said sure. Damon wanted to come to. So we headed to this place called the Mystic Grill.

When we were inside I saw the one person I thought I would never see again… Kathrin. I hid behind Stefan. I was always kind of scared of Kathrin. I mean she changed me. She also compelled my brothers and my father. Stefan looked behind me and said, "She's not Kathrin. Her name is Elena Gilbert though she is a descendent of Kathrin. I will explain later." He said and I nodded but I still hid behind him, I wasn't taking chances.

When we got to the table and sat down, Elena was giving me confused look and said, "Hi I'm Elena and you are?"

Stefan noticed my fear and told her, "Elena this is our sister Isabella, you remember what I told you. She is scared of Kathrin and so she thinks you are her, probably." Elena got it right off the bat.

"Oh I totally get it. Stefan explained to me that she changed you and you had no clue she was changing you 'till it was too late. I am so sorry that happened to you. I totally get it too. I mean I'm still scared of Kathrin and she is in the tomb. So when did you get here? You have to meet Bonnie just so she knows you are safe and Caroline doesn't know you either so… what have you been doing?" She said.

"Well I got here a few hours ago. Umm I have been living in the Olympic Peninsula for awhile. Who are Bonnie and Caroline? And what does she mean Kathrin is in the tomb?" I asked.

"Bonnie is a witch and Caroline is a vampire changed by Kathrin. No, Kathrin did not get killed and she is in a tomb. Like Stefan said we will explain later." Damon said.

"Okay." I said.

"So Bella what brought you here?"

"I needed a break from my life so I came here. I wanted to feel home, but that feeling hasn't quite kicked in." I said with a grim smile.

"Maybe you just need to spend time with your brothers and you will feel better." Damon said. I rolled my eyes. I wish it was that simple. I knew what home to me was. It was him, and his family. I felt me slipping into my depression I had back in Forks. I also felt of reality hit. If only I told him. I wish I did.

Maybe he would love me for me? Not for whom he thought I was? But that I was still fragile I mean cold ones are stronger than us and we still count as human to them. Their bite has the same effect on us and our blood has the same effect on them as a human's does. It could be sweeter, like I have been told. Everything about me has the same effect as a human from a cold one
