Bella Leaves!

A/N: OK, if you are reading this story thank you! I hope you like it, as I re-read the books for the... well who knows, I have lost count (really) I thought up another what if story. I am working on a few stories right now, this is the fourth one I have going at the same time. I will update them all and finish them, but priority will be giving to the one that gets the most attention/ reviews.

This is set after Bella's party when Jasper goes all chompy chomp chomp at her paper cut.

Chapter One: The Reality Hits Me

Edward has brought me home. After he leaves, I make my decision. I have to run. If I stay it is only a matter of time till I get killed! I throw my stuff in a bag, and take some of my cash. And the plane tickets that Carlisle and Esme gave me. I am not going to Florida to be with them, but I can go to the airport on my way out of here and cash them in. I will need the money to stay on the run. I will not be able to stay in one place long enough to get stable. Alice will see and they will come for me.

I have to keep changing my mind, and I have to leave NOW! I am sure she is preoccupied with Jasper, otherwise Edward would already be here.

I get in my truck and gun it! I am now sorry this truck is so slow, but if I get away it will be a miracle anyway. No car could outrun one of them anyway if they were after me. Not with me driving anyway....

I see the lights of Seattle off in the distance. Time to call home. I have to say goodbye to Charlie, I don't know how I am going to explain in a way that he will understand, and without putting him in danger.....

Third ring, the answering machine is picking up, "Hello, this is the Swan residence, Bella and I are out, please leave a message at the sound of the beep.....BEEP!" Well, it maybe will be better this way.. "Hi, Dad? I am sorry, to do this to you again. I love you and there is nowhere I would rather be than living with you, but something happened, I had a near death experience, I have had a lot of those since coming to live there, and I am scared Dad. I just need to get away, I am 18 now, and I know this isn't the smartest decision probably making a big mistake, but I have to try to get away from the black cloud hanging over me there..." The machine cut me off. I should call back, and promise to call again, but this is probably better. I will write him a letter from my next stop, send him some postcards. Maybe I can buy some postcards, every where I go, then pick some at random when I get to a different city, so Alice will flash on the wrong city. This way if they do come searching for me they will not be where I am.....

(Alice POV)

"What do you mean she is gone Alice!" Edward demanded. "She just disappeared! I can't see her future anymore! It is like she stopped making plans for herself! I see just flashes, but nothing solid. It is like she.... No! Edward, she.... is..... hiding.... from...... US!" Then I flashed on Charlie, he got home and was listening to the answering machine. Bella left him a message. "Edward stop by Bella's. Bring this sweater, it isn't too late. Tell Charlie that Bella left it at our house, and ask if you can tell her goodnight. She has left town Edward...." There was a loud crash from upstairs. Jasper heard. He is still beating himself up over his lack of control. It took me 3 hours to get him calmed down after his loss of control. He blames himself for this. And now that Bella has left, I fear Edward will too......

Edward grabbed the sweater from my hands and ran to the garage........
