Chapter 1- Las Vegas
Bella's POV
Charlie,
I'm sorry about this. I can't stay here anymore. It's too painful. Please understand.
Bella
P.S. if you want to call me my phone will always be on (if you forgot the number it's 435-1096)
My pen paused before writing 'I love you' in my messy scrawl. I brushed away the tears-again- and placed the note on the counter.
Yes, my name is Bella, Bella Marie Swan, and yes, I'm about to run away from my home in Forks, Washington- to god knows where.
I grabbed my suitcase as well as laptop case- the laptop from Charlie for my birthday.
I looked around the house once more before walking out the door.
It was raining- the usual. I threw my stuff in the passenger seat of my old truck. I turned the key and with a deafening roar it came to life.
I stomped on the gas pedal and flew out of Forks (Jake fixed her truck). I heard my motorcycle move around in the bed and stopped.
While I was rearranging it someone tapped me on the shoulder, I jumped.
"I'm sorry," a guy's voice said as they helped me to my feet. "My name's Claudio."
"Bella." I nodded. "I'm in a bit of a hurry so-"
"Where are you going?"
"Away. Anywhere."
"I have a house in Las Vegas but my car broke down up the road. Will you take me there?"
"Sure hop in." So there I am. I'm going to Las Vegas.

Edward's POV
"Edward? Edward!" my sister called.
"Yes Alice?" I opened my eyes but didn't take my forehead off the glass.
"Edward would you stop moping?"
"Sorry."
"We're moving. Pack up."
"Already am."
She pulled me roughly off the glass. "You need to stop!"
"What?" I inverted my eyes to the ground.
"This." She shook me. "I'm sorry but I hate seeing you like this. I can't stand it!"
"I'm sorry Alice. So where are we going?" I tried to smile for her.
"Not like you care."
"I do," I protested, trying to sound earnest.
"Then read my mind."
Las Vegas.
