~~October~~

Few days has pass. Things are different, I haven't seen or spoken to Bella since we found her or when the Cullens left. The only thing I know is Bella basically isolate herself from the world. So I don't bother on calling her, But the difference between us. Well, I been busy I decide I don't want to cry over some guy, me and my dad I have been practicing my training. There's of few days I gotten hurt from my knives, lots of cuts, of few bruises. I've been running a lot too, everyday after school. People would just stare at me and Bella. Whenever I see Bella at school, she would stare at me with blank look on her face, as well did I. I understand her pain, but I don't show it like she does.  Sometimes I don't know what to tell her, or what to say.  

   ~~November~~

It's now November, things the same here. Everything expect those bears attacks they say, but I know its no bears. My dad and the others what to go hunt and see, I begged my dad to let me go this time, he kept saying no but finally let me go. I'm ready, I feel ready to go. We waiting for night to fall, we all went to different spots, radio each other if anything happens. I was with my dad, had my arrows ready, my dad his gun. We walked around, I listen to my surrounds, I hear the wind, the leaves hitting each other, so quiet.

"Allison, you okay?" my dad asked me. 

"I'm fine." I said back, I walked farther down the path, i have my bow and arrow in my hands ready to shoot. I stopped to listen, I could her a soft almost heavy breathing behind me. I quickly turn around to see two eyes staring at me. I could see its breathing air, I aim my arrow at it, as I was about to it, my dads shoots my bow making me drop it. 

"Allison, get back now!" he order me, I look at him then look back to where the thing was. 

"I had it under control." I tell him annoyed that he did that. I pick up my now broken bow up and walked away from him. 

"I knew taking you here was a mistake." he said, I cross my arms, "of mistake?" I said. 

"Ever since-" I knew what he was about to say so I stopped him.

"Don't say his name!" I snap at him, he puts his hand up as defense, "Allison, I think its better if you take some time off from hunting." he said as he looks at with a worry face. I look away from him then at my bow. 

"you own me a new bow." I said. 

It was a week before thanksgiving, I made my way to the cafeteria. I saw Bella's friends at their table, I decide to sit alone so I made my way to an empty table before doing that, I bumped into someone. 

"oh im sorry."I said, I look up to see him holding a camera.

"Oh please it my fault, sorry I got caught in the moment." I holds his camera. 

"so you're into photography?" I asked him. "yeah, I also work in the yearbook too." he said 

"oh so you work with Eric then?" I said. "yeah, I'm Matt." he holds his hand out for me to shake. 

"im-" he quickly stops me "Allison." he said I looked at him so confuse, and a little creeped out.

"I know because Eric told me Bellas cousin moved here. I didn't mean to freak you out." he chuckle.  It made me chuckle too. "makes sense, I'll let you take your pictures. I bet you take a lot of pictures." I said.

"Anything that catches my eye." he smiles, I nodded.

Its thanksgivng now, I was at the table, while now was on the phone with Charlie. Mom had invite him and Bella over, but its clear that wasn't going to happen. 

"I understand Charlie. You don't have to apologize." she hangs up. 

"Hows Bella?" my dad asked her.

"she still won't talk or eat. She still has nightmares, stays in her room all day staring at the window." she tells him. 

"You should talk to her Allison" my dad suggested. I sigh, "I don't know." I said quickly.

"she's needs to talk to someone." my mom said. I close my eyes. 

"I'll go." I finally said.

~~December~~

Theres snow everywhere, its beautiful to see. I decide to go visit Bella, hopefully she talks to me. I pull up to her house. I knock on the door, I see Charlie's, he's face looked so happy to see him. 

"Allison." he hugs me. 

"hi, uncle Charlie", as hold back my tears. he pulls away. "Is Bella in her room?" I asked, We walked inside, "she's in her room, maybe you can get her to talk Allison." he sounded desperate. I nodded. when I reach her room, I took a deep breath. I knock.

"Bella? Its me, Allison." I said through the door, I careful open her door, I see her sitting facing the window. I bend down next to her, her eyes turn to me, "Bella, can we talk?" I ask her. We moved to sit on her bed. 

"I'm sorry." she said so quietly. 

"im sorry too." I said, I held her hand. She lays her head on my shoulder, "I miss you Allison." she said, I felt a something drop on my jeans, I look down to see a wet tiny drop of a tear. "I miss you too. I'm here." I said. 

she lifts up her head, wipes her tears away.

"promise me, you won't ever leave." she said to me.

"I won't. I promise." 

We talked for a bit, getting her to talk more.

"so how you been?" she asked me. I softy sigh, "I've been busy with training, but I'm taking some time off." I said.

"why?" Bella sound curious, I looked at her, then chuckle. "My dad thinks its because of T-" I stopped myself from saying his name. "he just think its better to take some time off." I said, I don't want to mention any of the Cullens to her, I mean its bad enough they left. I looked at Bella, she has her eyes on the window.

"Bella if you need more time, I get it. But remember I'm here for you. And I'm not going anywhere." I told her, she nodded her head. I slowly got up from her bed, "you know where to found me." I told her. I walked out her room, I saw Charlie sitting the livingroom. He gets up from he was sitting.

"so, she say anything?" he asked me. 

"she misses me, I can tell you that." I smile.

"that's something, I think im gonna send her to her mom. In Jacksonville, she needs to get away from here." he tells me. "Uncle Charlie, I don't think she would want to go." 

"This isn't normal behavior Allison, he's not coming back. None of them." he said, I looked down after he said that. "Allison, I didn't mean-im sorry." he realize that I was with well him. I softy chuckle. "its okay." I smile. I said my goodbyes to Charlie. 

I went to near by hunting store for equipment, I was looking for crossbows. As I was looking I hear a familiar voice behind. "Allison." I turn to see Jacob, with a friend. He smiles at me. "jacob." I smile.

"shopping?" he looks at the crossbows behind me. I nervously chuckle, "something like that." 

"oh this Embry. Embry this is Allison, Bella's cousin." he introduce us. I gave him a small smile. He looks at with eyes so in love, creeped out. "hi." I said, Jacob hit his arm. "hey, nice meeting you." he said, "sorry about him." he laughs, "its okay." I chuckle.

"Shopping too?"

"yeah, So how you been? since-" he stopped. "I'm fine." he nodded. "and Bella?" he asked. I looked at him with sad eyes, "if you need to ever hang out, come by the Rez." he offer. "yeah we don't mind" Embry said. I smile at them, "thanks" I tell him.

Maybe hanging out with the won't be a bad idea, and taking off time of hunting could be good. I just wish Bella could go the same, to heal.
