As I was about to go to my room I stopped by Bella's room
"She's waiting up for you she won't sleep unless you're here"I heard my dad say I looked at him
"Thanks dad"I said as I pushed my door open and going straight to the shower letting the water fall on me I breathed heavily as she filled my mind like a disease she just wouldn't leave permanently I got out the shower and put on some joggers and went to Bella's room she looked at me I rushed to her laying beside her she faced me
"You smell like alcohol"she said I smiled slightly
"I know"I said
"Elijah what are you doing?"she asked me I looked up at the ceiling I couldn't lie to her
"Trying to forget"I said before pulling her closer she wraps her arms around my waist I kissed her head
"Sleep Bella"
(Time skip)
The months passed Bella only got worse and me I guess I was oh who am I kidding I'm just as bad as she is but in a different way I was afraid of becoming what I used to be that Elijah was a nightmare but that's exactly who I was becoming before Rosalie left she made me a better person and now she's gone and he's coming back me and Charlie don't get alone anymore he doesn't like me staying out late with Paul and Sam or even hanging out with them but the truth was I already knew they were wolves how I knew was still a mystery

I walked outside to see my dad talking to Bella
"That's it"he says
"That's what?"my sister asked confused
"You're both going to Jacksonville to live with your mother"he said I furrowed my eyebrows
"What? Why?"Bella asked
"I just - don't know what to do any more You both don't act like someone left you more like someone died"he said I looked down as Bella looks away
"I'm not leaving Forks"Bella said I nodded in agreement
"Bells the bastard's not coming back"he said
"It's not normal, this behavior And frankly it's scaring the hell outta me and your mother"he adds
"Go to Jacksonville Baby Make some new friends"he tried again
"I like my old friends"she argued back
"You never even see them anymore"my dad said
"I do too In fact I'm... um...Jessica and I are going to Port Angeles tomorrow Shopping"she said lying
"You hate shopping"my dad said obviously suspicious
"That's how good a friend I am"Bella said
"Alright Shopping....uh Elijah"my dad called after me as I started walking off
"Dad I don't need another lecture"I said turning back to him
"You do Elijah this isn't you anymore"he said I shrugged
"Maybe it is now"I said
"Elijah you promised no more drinking"Bella said I laughed
"People break a lot of promises lately isn't that amazing"I said glancing at her
"And the motorcycle?"my dad asked I looked over at my motorcycle
"I'm not gonna ride with Bella all the time and listen to Taylor swift"I said sarcastically
"So hanging out with people like Paul is okay?"my sister asked I laughed looking at her
"Bella you're really in no position to judge me"I said
"Elijah Rosalie is not coming back"my dad said I really wanted to punch something
"I know that! God! back off! both of you!"I yelled before rushing to my motorcycle and getting on
"Elijah...."I drove off before they could say anything else

I knocked on the Clearwater's door and harry comes to the door
"Elijah"he said
"Hi harry is Leah home?"I asked him as I balanced myself on the door
"Elijah you don't look so good"sue Clearwater said for some reason I woke up this morning with the worst headache ever
"Yeah I'm not feeling very good either"I said nodding
"Come inside I'll make you some chicken soup"she said I nodded walking inside taking a seat at the table
"Elijah"Leah said walking down the stairs looking as beautiful as ever I smiled
"Hi your mom invited me in"I said she sighs
"Of course she did"she said
"Hey Elijah"Seth said coming to stand beside her
"Hey Seth"I said she cleared her throat
"We should go to my room where you can lay down"she said I nodded
"Leave the door open"sue called out
"Okay"Leah said as she helped me to her room I sat on the bed
"What's wrong?"she asked
"My dad we just got into a fight and my sister just had to get involved just like she does with everything else"I said rolling my eyes
"I heard she's with Jacob over at his place"age said sitting beside me
"I don't wanna ruin your mood"I said she shakes her head and shrugs
"Too late"she said I grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it
"What was that for?"she asked I looked at her
"That was for being there for me these last 5 months"
