I Really Hate Forks

Chapter 1: I Love Her, But She Left Me

Summary: This is when Renee left Charlie, from his point of view. My first Twilight fic, I hope it's good!


"Renee? Renee? What's wrong? Please, baby, just…talk to me," I pleaded. She'd gotten home in a hissy. I'd seen her mad before, but not that mad. Then, she locked herself in the bedroom, wouldn't let me in. I didn't say anything, did I?

"Go away Charlie!" she yelled.

"Just tell me what's wrong! Is it Sue? Did she say something? I know she objects to getting' married young, but don't listen to her, okay?" I told her.

"It's not Sue!"

"Is it Billy? Am I spending too much time with him? I'll stay home more, I swear! I'll use my vacation days at work and we can go on a holiday!" I reasoned. What was the matter with her!

"It's not Harry or your job!" Renee screamed. She pulled open the door. She was holding some bags…no. No no no no no!

"What are those for?" I asked. I didn't want to know the answer, not really.

"I'm leaving Charlie," she said. She walked down the stairs.

"WHY?"

"I can't stay here. I don't belong here. I belong in the city, I'm not a small-town girl!" she yelled.

"But I thought you liked it here," I said, puzzled. I grabbed her arm. Even though I was freaked, I could still overpower her.

"Yeah, well I don't!" she said, almost…snidely? "It's cold and wet and so green and everyone knows each other and the only place to "go out" is that stupid restaurant! I hate it and I always will!" she yelled. She dug around in her pockets for her keys.

"It's so late and you've had a rough day, just sleep on it okay? Just stay here for tonight, please," I begged. She shook her head.

"Damn it, where are my freakin' keys!?" she yelled. I knew exactly where they were, the place she always put them, and always forgot that she put them there.

"Renee, we haven't even been married for a full year yet! Every couple you meet says the first year is always the hardest! Just hang on, it'll get better I promise!" I pleaded. I seemed to be doing a lot of that tonight.

"What if it doesn't? What if I just get more and more miserable because I'm stuck here, in this stupid town, not fitting in? What if it just gets worse?" she asked.

"Well, let me pack too! I'll move to the city with you!" I said. That's the one thing I didn't want to do. I hated big crowds and people in general, but if it would get her to stay, I'd pack up and move to Hollywood!

"We both know you could never make it in the city Charlie. But that's where I belong. I need to leave," she whispered. She put her hand on my cheek. I held it there.

"I'll do it. I'll do it for you. Please," I whispered. She couldn't go. It just wasn't possible. We were supposed to be together. Forever. We'd have a ton of kids and we'd get a bigger house, and everything would be perfect. Yet here she was, walking out the door. I ran after her again. "Please Renee, please," I begged. "You can't go. We were supposed to be together," I let slip. Oh, screw it, I don't care if she knows that's how I feel, she has to stay.

"Just let me go, Charlie," she said. "It didn't work out, okay? I really, really hate Forks!" she said, and with that, she stormed off.

I stood there in shock. She'd just told me the other day she was pregnant, and now she's gone? Renee has to come back. I love her, I need her. She seemed to love Forks. But was that really all for show? Did she really hate it here? Stupid Charlie, why couldn't I tell before? I should have been able to tell that she was miserable. I shouldn't have taken in all those extra hours at the station. I should've cooked once and while. Why didn't I?

Now she's gone and it's my entire fault. There is a chance she'll come back tomorrow, but do I really believe that? Renee is stubborn and there's nothing I can do. I'll call in a few days. I just…I can't…

I love her but she left me.


So? What do you think? I should have the next chapter up by Friday.
