This takes place sometime after New Moon, if Bella were to agree to Edward's 'Terms.' So, read, enjoy, and I own nothing in this. The song is Missing by Evanescence, and the characters and twilight belong to Stephenie Meyer. Just finished it too!
Bella was sitting in her room, brooding over the note Jacob had sent her not long ago. Dear Bella,I don't know why you're making Charlie carry notes to Billy like we're in second grade - if I wanted to talk to you I would answer the- Bella wished he could get over it, but Jake was stubborn. If he didn’t want to, he wasn’t going to. Her bed was laden with suitcases. She’d be leaving today. She wasn’t coming back.
“Are you ready to go?” Edward asked from directly behind her, wrapping his arms around her. She jumped, taken by surprise, but turned and buried her head in his chest.
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
She knew Jacob couldn’t miss her that much, because he wasn’t even trying to get in contact with her, wasn’t trying to talk to her. It was like he didn’t care any more. She had confided all of this in Edward, of course, but he just didn’t understand. Well, she knew one person from her old life wouldn’t miss her when she was gone.You made the choice here, okay? You can't have it both ways, when
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
“Why do you care what he thinks?” Edward asked the same thing that had been bugging him for a long time. Bella shook her head.
“You wouldn’t understand…” She choked out.
“I think I would.” Edward said quietly, wiping a tear from her cheek. Bella shook her head, remembering the note again.What part of 'mortal enemies' is too complicated for you to-
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
“He was my best friend, Edward. And now he won’t even talk to me!” Bella wished Jacob would just make an effort for her, but he just stayed in La Push, not answering the phone, not talking to her, not making contact in any way at all.
“You have better friends than him,” Edward tried to sooth her, but Bella just sobbed into his chest. He would never understand. He hated Jacob because of what he was. Never even tried to get to know him. Just like Jake had done with Edward.Look, I know I'm being a jerk, but there's just no way around…
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
“He won’t miss me.” She whispered. “He could care less now.” But she knew that wasn’t true. Jake just couldn’t be around her…because of Edward. The very person that was standing solidly by her side in her time of need instead of hiding from her.We can't be friends when you're spending all your time with a bunch of
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
But yet, she couldn’t help but wonder…did he care? They had been best friends, but the very mention of Vampires, and he had left her. It was like he didn’t care about her feelings for Edward and her friendship with the Cullens. If he was going to be like that…maybe she didn’t want to hang out with him after all.It just makes it worse when I think about you too much, so don't write anymore
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
She wanted to have Jake as her friend again, but she wanted to keep Edward. She wasn’t about to give up her love for her friend. When it came right down to it, Edward meant more to her. She pulled the note out of her pocket. It was crumpled, sure, but the words were still there. The last bit wasn’t scratched out. Yeah, I miss you, too. A lot. Doesn't change anything. Sorry. She scrunched it up in her fist, and threw it in the trash.

Bella wiped the tears from her eyes. Then Edward was next to her.
“Ready to go?” He asked. She nodded. He already had her things. Everyone thought she was going to college. Well, almost everyone. Edward knew about the wedding ring hidden as a necklace around Bella’s neck. The Cullens knew what was really going to happen. And then there was her former best friend.
Jacob.
