Goodbyes with Charlie;

It had been a wonderful day; the whole day with Cullens, Charlie, Blacks and other werewolves. We had to go with Edward today to Jacksonville, because we had bought our tickets already.

I was in my room – without Edward this time – packing my last things. It was hard to pack; I hated packing. I knew there was warm, but I didn't know how warm. I took shorts, skirts and tops with me if there was going to be that hot. I also took couple of long-sleeved shirts and one of my jeans if there was going to be cold.

"Bella? You there?" I heard Charlie's voice behind my closed door.

"Yeah, come in", I shouted back. It was very hard – harder then I had believed it would be – to him to let me go. And with Edward it was just harder; Charlie still hated him. He didn't like even Carlisle that much like he had liked him before. But Alice he loved!

"Hi Bells. Are you sure you want to go? Because I was thinking, if you would like to come with me sometimes to Jacksonville, so you…" He looked uncomfortable about showing his emotions. Like always.

"Dad," – with Edward, I was getting better in this showing-emotions thing – "I said this before and I'll say it again; I'm going with Edward, and you don't have to worry about that. Edward's going to keep me safe." I didn't sound mad, didn't I? "And I'm not gonna change my mind, okay?"

He sighed. It was hard to listen his complains every day. I knew how worried he was about me; if something happened with Edward, if he would leave again… It wouldn't be the happiest thing to Charlie; probably he would try to find Edward and try to kill him. Or something like that…

"But keep yourself safe, okay?" He made me promise.

"Of course. I love you, dad."

At least I heard a car. It had to be Edwards', because no one other had said he or she would come.

I took my big briefcase and ran downstairs. I opened the door in rush to see his beautiful eyes.

"Ah." I sighed; his eyes looked at me, his face so beautiful. Would I ever be able to use to his beauty? Probably not…

He laughed to my expression. "You look beautiful too", he winked at me.

Now it was my turn to laugh. "Thanks."

Alice had come with his brother to say goodbyes. Her shirt-cut, brown hair had gold gloss in the sun. For a moment, I was shocked; two beautiful vampires were in front of my house in the sun. But then I noticed they both had long-slaved shirts on. Still their faces were in the sun, glistening.

"Alice! Go in the car or come here! Charlie or my neighbors cannot see you in the sun!" I commanded.

She laughed to me too and then got to the car.

"Huh… Will we go now?" I asked Edward.

"Yes. Give me your briefcase, please." He was always a gentleman to me.

I gave him my briefcase and he carried it to his Volvo. Then he had to go to his car; Charlie was coming to say his last goodbyes to me.

"Bella, promise me, you'll be safe?" Charlie begged.

I sighed again. "Of course dad. I'll promise you."

"Thanks… And I love you." He hugged me tight and kissed my forehead.

I hugged and kissed him back.

"I love you too dad. And you try to eat something else then just a pizza!"

He laughed. "Was I your dad or were you my mom?"

Then we had to go. It was hard to leave my Charlie by himself in Forks. I was going to miss him. Badly.
