"Leave me the hell alone!" I yelled at Charlie, while trying to pack as much of my stuff as I could into this tiny backpack.

"Bells talk to me, please" Charlie yelled back desperately. He wanted to know why I was leaving, but honestly no good excuse came to mind. I just didn't want to live here anymore. I was bored here.

"Stop treating me like a child! I basically take care of you! I cook and clean! You have no right to tell me what to do!" I felt bad for treating him like this, but he wouldn't let me go any other way.

"But Bells, you… I…" His voice trailed off. "But where will you go?"

"I'll call you."I grabbed my keys, and with that I was off. On my own to do what I wanted when I wanted.

I jumped in my truck and paused. There I was, in the world on my own. I had nowhere to go.

You obviously didn't think this through. Shut up inner me, I know. I wasn't crazy; I just talked to my conscious, no big deal. But honestly, thinking back on my plan, it wasn't very well thought out. Or even good. I had no real reasons to be leaving besides the fact that I was bored.

I couldn't go back to Charlie, I was too proud for that. I worked up the nerve to leave; I wasn't going to go back in there so he can treat me like a child.

You are a child. Only children make half-ass plans. Shut up inner me.

I stuck my keys in the ignition, started the engine, and drove. I just drove, never looking back.

You still don't know where to go. Shut up inner me. Go to Seattle.

Finally, a good plan from my inner self. I was going to go to Seattle and rent an apartment. I was going to get a job, and I was going to be happy.

Oh Happiness. Ever since I could remember, I had dreamed of contentedness. I wanted to find my true love, and we would be together forever. There would be no rights or wrongs, just content. No judgment, no fighting, just content. I couldn't find that in Forks so I was leaving.

I thought you were bored? Shut up inner me.

I stopped off at the first gas station I saw. I was getting hungry and the rest of the drive I would not be making anymore stops. I stepped out and was instantly shivering at how cold it was outside.

I walked in and was hit by the fluorescent light like a ton of bricks. I never really realized the time until now. I took my phone out of my pocket, and checked the time. It was 2:03am and still dark outside.

Why didn't you leave in the morning? Shut up inner me.

Walking up and down the aisles, I realized how big of a sweet tooth I had. Picking up everything from chips to Skittles I was ready to pay for my snacks.

"$11.50" I couldn't believe my ears, I was just about to spend $12 on snacks. I must've looked lost, because the cashier repeated himself.

"$11.50" he said again in an irritated tone. But before I could throw a snide remark back at him, the man behind me spoke up.

"Hold your fucking horses! She was getting her money out." He said in the most sexy southern drawl I'd heard in well, ever. "Ain't that right darlin'"

I turned around to see the person who so nicely defended me. What stood before me was the most handsome man I'd ever seen.

Oh my sweet Jesus.

"Umm" was the clever noise that came out of my mouth.

Good job genius. Shut up inner me.

I quickly turned around to pay for my bag of fat, and suddenly felt self-conscious. I was in front of a fit demigod, and he just saw me pay $12 for a bag of snacks. I wasn't expecting to see anyone in here at 2am to witness my candy craving in full action. Let alone a gorgeous man such as himself.

I walked out of the gas station Mini-Mart, feeling bad for not talking to him. But the minute I tried to speak all of my verbal communication skills disappeared.

I finally reached my car and what do you know, my keys fell. How on Earth they did, I didn't know, but they would just so happen to fall right in a puddle. Just my luck.

Before I could bend over and pick them up, Mr. Sexypants was in front of me with my keys. I didn't see him pick them up, but I wasn't going to argue. Not that I could anyway with my brain turning to mush and all. I flashed him a timid smile.

"You dropped your keys." He smiled back and handed them to me.

"Umm … thanks." I made words! Well I made word, but whatever. I searched the parking lot for his car, but it was nowhere to be seen. Seattle was at least a two hour drive away, and Forks was an hour and a half. He must've been walking all night. I instantly felt bad for him.

"I was wondering…" He started. I looked into his eyes and instantly got lost in them. Two big pools of topaz stared back at me.

"Beautiful" I mumbled under my breath hoping he didn't hear me.

"Excuse me?" I felt stupid. He obviously heard my comment about his eyes.

You are stupid! Shut up inner me.

"Err … Sorry, nothing . Please, continue" My curiosity instantly peaked and I was eagerly waiting for what this beautiful man had to say.

"I was wondering if maybe I could get a ride to Seattle." He looked hopeful. I was taught to never give a ride to strangers, but no one ever told me about cases regarding gorgeous strangers.

He could be a serial killer, or rapist, or something. Shut up inner me.

"Umm … how about you tell me your name first?" I was going to get some kind of information from him before I let him into my car.

"It's Jasper, Jasper Whitlock"
