I sat in my truck, eyes filled with tears. I couldn't go into school looking like this. Edward had left, was there any purpose to stay in Forks? There were my friends, Angela, Jessica, Lauren (if you could call Lauren my friend) but without Edward my life was a burning hole of despair. Why should I stay in this town? I didn't have much money, but I had enough. I could sell some of my stuff, get more money, and find him. I knew it was a long shot. Finding Edward in the world would be as tough as shutting Jessica up, or turning Charlie into an emotional person who could express emotions well.
I looked around the car park. No-one was around to see me. I let the engine of my truck come to life as I started out of the car park. I wiped the tears away as I pushed my car to the maximum limit and sped towards my home. Before I got to the street I got out and checked to make sure Charlie wasn't there. He wasn't so I hopped back into my car and drove towards the house. Pulling up in the driveway I pulled the key out and ran towards the house.
I didn't pause to close any doors, I just ran straight up the stairs. Tears still streaming down my cheeks I kept myself going. I pulled a bag from under the bed and threw anything that looked as if it was worth something. I even found Charlie's old collectable fishing hooks in a china box and put that into the bag too.
The tears never went away as I continued to put anything and everything into the bag. Once I thought there was everything I could find I found a wad of money in a drawer in Charlie's bedroom. All 100 dollar bills. I took a few of them, enough to last me a while. I then got a piece of paper and a pen.
I'm sorry dad, thank you for everything, but I can't take it anymore. I'm going to find Edward. Don't expect me back; I don't plan to come back ever again. I'm so sorry. Bella.
