A/N: Hello = )

The story takes place in New Moon after Edward left Bella and the first episode of Vampire Diaries. Bella's personality might be changed slightly but it won't be anything too drastic.

This is my first time writing in either the Twilight or Vampire Diaries fandom (even though I've been a part of the fandoms for a long time) so it would be nice to know if I write the characters well, and how I could improve.

Italics are thoughts, and this is is going to mean someone is typing/writing.

Disclaimer: If I owned Twilight or Vampire Diaries I would be a very rich person but sadly I'm not.

Goodbye

Prologue: Leaving Forks

"Goodbye Bella."

Bella Swan sat up in bed with a start, tears wetting her cheeks.

The words kept repeating her head like a broken record. Goodbye Bella. Goodbye Bella. Goodbye Bella.

She got up to the bathroom to get ready for the day, knowing that Charlie wouldn't be up for a few more minutes, he was already immune to her cries in the middle of the night.

How could he just leave like that? With just a goodbye like we were acquaintances, she mused to herself as she drove to the school.

The parking lot was empty. It was still too early for class but she didn't want to stay in the house any longer then she had to, not when Charlie kept on looking at her like that.

The school day swept by just as fast as the morning and before she knew it, it was lunch.

Looking around the cafeteria an emotion she hadn't felt in a while began to bubble up. These people are supposed to be my friends. Can't they see I'm in pain? They wanted to know everything about me when I was the 'new girl' and now I don't matter?

Even Angela seemed more concerned with her relationship then her Bella.

Goodbye Bella. Goodbye Bella. Goodbye Bella.

The bell rang signaling the end of lunch and bringing Bella back from her thoughts. She walked to class without looking back at her table of "friends" once.

As the day continued Bella started to feel slightly guilty about her anger towards her friends.

When she paid attention she noticed that Angela would shoot her concerned looks during class and one of the boys were always walking 'around' her to class. They never walked directly with her but they were a few feet away and seemed to keep an eye on her. Jessica didn't pay her any attention but looking back Bella knew Jessica was shallow.

Who could blame them? Who would try to talk to a zombie when it was obvious they didn't care? Shouldn't they have tried harder to help?

Goodbye Bella. Goodbye Bella. Goodbye Bella.

Bella sighed as she continued to cook dinner.

Today was the first time in weeks she felt an emotion besides despair and began noticing the people around her again.

Those emotions were anger and despair and all she noticed was that the people around her weren't who they pretended to be.

Still…that was progress. Right?

"That's it Bella! I'm sending you away." Charlie's fist came down on the table as he finished his sentence.

Bella looked up from her plate of spaghetti, eyes widening at his sudden outburst. She wasn't aware they were having a conversation.

Charlie noticed Bella was in shock and continued talking. "It's not healthy to act like this. You need to move on and –"

Bella's brain finally caught up with the conversation. "Away? Are you tired of me too? Is there something wrong with me?"

He winced realizing how harsh his earlier words could sound if taken the wrong way. "Of course not, Bella."

He walked over to her and put his arms around her in a hug.

Bella was so shocked at the emotionally-awkward Charlie's display of emotion that she was stiff in his arms. "I love having you here Bella but I think you would be happier with a fresh start."

Bella made a sound between a sob and a laugh. Moving to Forks was supposed to be her fresh start while her mom was off with her husband.

Charlie patted her back and waited for the crying to stop. "I was thinking you could go to Jacksonville with your mother or stay with your Aunt Jenna in Mystic Falls."

Bella thought about what life would be like in Florida, her mom would probably force her to do a bunch of clubs or something in school to make her forget him. Aunt Jenna just recently started taking care of Elena and Jeremy, it would be wrong to add another person so soon.

Charlie just watched Bella and waited for a response.

"High school is almost over and I couldn't be a burden to Aunt Jenna."

He sighed as if expecting those answers. "You won't be a burden to your family and you can make new friends."

Suddenly all of the energy drained out of Bella and all she wanted was to lay in bed and go to sleep. "I'll think about it."

"I'll give you a few days before I get your answer. If you want to stay with me you need to start talking to your friends again."

Bella just nodded her head and walked upstairs to her room. I must be in really bad shape to make Charlie act like that. I don't remember the last time we had a conversation that long.

A few hours later Bella still wasn't able to sleep so she turned on her laptop and logged on to her email.

Every few days she would 'email' Alice. Alice deleted her email address so she never got them but it made Bella feel better to write them, almost like a diary.

Dear Alice

For the past few days I've been starting to fell better, the pain of loosing him is still there but I've been starting to notice the people around me again. The days don't blur together into meaningless anymore. Today I actually watched the people in the cafeteria at school. They all ignore me now, like I don't matter to them. Even the people I used to think of as friends don't try to talk to me, they just tolerate my presence and look at me like I'm going to snap. The surprising thing about today is that Charlie wants me to leave Forks. I told him I would think about it and I think I actually will. Your brother told me to forget and I think that might be fore the best, I can't live like this anymore, in constant pain and suffering, I will always love your brother though and the pain will never go away for good but maybe it will be easier to pretend I'm okay if I live in another town.

Your best friend

Bella

Alice, I can't believe it's been so long since I've written to you. A lot has happened since August. The day after I wrote my last email to you, Jacob Black came over for a visit with his dad. We hung out in the kitchen, making dinner for our dads and I actually had a good time, Jake can make me laugh and I can even forget for a little while that it feels like I have a hole in my chest .Charlie noticed the good mood I was in and didn't mention me moving away for a few days. Jake is my best friend. I've been hanging out with him for weeks now but I've decided that I should move from Forks. Jake is almost a drug to me and the second I'm away from him all the pain of loosing him comes back. Charlie noticed and said that I have to choose Jacksonville or Virginia and once I'm better I can come back and visit him and Jake any time. I feel like I'm being banished but it's for the best, isn't it? I'm not sure anymore but it's too late to back out, the plane leaves tomorrow morning.

Bella

After shutting down the laptop and putting it in her carry on bag Bella laid now in bed to finally go to sleep.

Everything was finished. She spent an hour talking on the phone with her aunt making sure it was okay that she moved in and the plane tickets were bought. One of the people form the reserve volunteered to drive her truck all the way to Virginia for her and left a few days ago, it wouldn't be long that she would be able to drive it again.

The last thing Bella thought before drifting off to sleep was Goodbye Edward.

A/N: The next chapter takes place in Mystic Falls! Sorry if this chapter was a little too all over the place, the next chapter is at a better pace. Thanks for reading.
