Prologue

She walked out of the school with her head down and ear phones blasting her ears with music that she wasn't really listening to. The way she folded in on herself as she walked past her classmates showed just how invisible she wanted to be.

It no different than yesterday or the day before and so on.

Bella had gotten into a routine and she couldn't seem to break it.

No matter how hard she pushed herself to feel something after having her heart being torn out of her chest and taken away with him. Bella hadn't been able to feel since then best she could do was fake a smile or seem like she wasn't just wasting away to everyone. It had taken her over a month to be able to listen to music again and she still couldn't completely focus on it.

She only put in her head phones in when she was trying to block out other people's noise.

It made her the gaping hole in her chest throb at the sound of others happiness.

The people around her didn't know heartache like she did and so she had to tune them out with music.

Bella looked up when she felt yet again like something was watching her and she looked around but couldn't find who it was.

That feeling that someone was seeing into her pain had been plaguing her since he had left three months ago. At first she had thought it was him again but she knew that she would never see him again.

It wasn't good for her to get her hopes up.

Hell living the way that she was wasn't good for her but the more time that passed the more it seemed that nothing was going to change. She sighed to herself as she finally made it to her truck and climbed in turning off her iPod and stashing it into her backpack.

The whole time she wasn't aware of being followed home and she didn't know that things were going to change.

~~~~~Prowl~~~~~

Chief Swan sat at the table sipping his coffee while he waited for Bella to come home. He was steeling himself for the conversation he was going to have with her. His worry ate at him with the thought of leaving Forks to go to Seattle was going to do to his Bells.

He had no choice but to go because it was for work and that kept the roof over their heads and food in their bellies. Yet he was worried for Bella's emotional health as she had been barely living ever since that Edwin kid left. He had tried getting her to see professional help but she always turned the idea down. She actually had a fit when he brought it up the first time.

If that wasn't a sign that she needed help...

The chief had already made arrangements for Bella while he was away.

She would be staying in La Push with his best friend Billy Black until he could return.

Charlie had debated trying to talk her into moving with her mother and get the hell out of this state. However, the memory of the tantrum she threw when Renee had been packing her bags was enough to cause him to throw out that suggestion.

Plus Billy said he would try to get through to her and he said he knew someone she could talk too.

He didn't elaborate but Charlie trusted his friend enough not to ask questions.

The rumbling sound of her beast of a truck came to a stop and he knew she would be in here soon.

He took a deep breath as he heard the front door open and he prayed to whomever was listening that she would be okay with this.

It hurt him to have to leave her when she was in such a vulnerable state.

The thought that Billy and Jake might be able to help heal her kept him from quitting his job.

It's only for a little while, he reminded himself for the hundredth time.

A/N- Let me know if you'd like me to continue.
