Once Again I own nothing, as much as I wish I did….

Previously:

Quietly, I ran to the guest room where Renee was sleeping and sat on the bed, and silently debated on whether or not to wake her up. My less noble side won as I shook my mum awake.

"Mom, we have to talk. I can't go through with the wedding. So I'm leaving."

Chapter 2:

"What?!?!?" My mum looked at me, horrified as though I'd grown a second head.

"Mum, I said I'm leaving beca-"

"No. Honey I heard what you said but ….why? I thought you were happy with Edward? At least that's what you have been telling me ever since you two became engaged"

I didn't even bother to hold back the sob that escaped my lips as I burst into tears. I was only faintly aware of my mother pulling me close to her and patting my back soothingly. I have no idea how long we sat there on her bed, huddled together but it was comforting to me to know I had someone there to talk to. Slowly, I sat up straighter and dried my sore eyes.

"Mom, I love Edward to no end but I'm so scared." My voice broke slightly as I said scared. I don't think I was ever ready to be married. I acted on a whim because I fell in love and now, I can't stop torturing myself for making such a mistake. I want to just call it all off but I can't. Think of what it would do to the Cullens-they've done so much for me. Mom, I don't know what to do but I can't just bring myself to walk down that isle next week."

My mom was silent for a little while before suddenly taking a deep breath. I let out one, not knowing I was holding in a breath to begin with.

"Bella honey, I can see this is something you really don't want to do and no one on this earth can force you to do it. But just for the record, you still love Edward?"

I nodded my head.

"Well then I think you two should talk-"

"No mom!!! I don't want to make this any more painful than it truly needs to be. I just want to get away for a little while-not having to worry about the mess I'm leaving behind. I can't talk to him before I leave because he'll only try to hold me back and try to reason with me."

Another tear slid down my cheek and I smiled at my mom's touch as she brushed it away. She looked like she wanted to object to me leaving but before she could I whispered "I need to do this".

My mom suddenly hugged me close. "I know you do. Just make sure you keep in contact with me ok?" Slowly, she bent over and retrieved her credit card which she handed over to me. "Don't worry about using your own money love, just make sure that you come back to me safe and in one piece. I'll talk to your father and Edward so you're not to worry-just go and figure yourself out. We'll all be here for you when you get back."

She smiled sadly at me as I stood up. "Thanks mom."

A half hour later…..

Within a half hour I had two bags fully packed with everything I'd need. I had already decided where I would go –sunny California –one of the places he wouldn't come looking for me because of the whole sparkling thing.

As I zipped up my pack, I thought about how pathetic it was that I couldn't even say his name without choking up or feeling immensely guilty. I mean, I wasn't about to turn back and marry Ed-him but I couldn't just leave him without an explanation, so I did the most I could do for him in the circumstances. Knowing he would come back to my room, I simply left him a hand written letter on my pillow. Then silently, so as to not wake anyone up again I slipped out of the house and turned by back on everything; my house, my parents, the Cullens and most importantly, Edward.

Hey guys! What did you think? I didn't really adore this chapter myself but I needed to add in the little dialogue between Bella and her mom so she wouldn't just leave everyone she loves in the dark. Sorry the chapters have been a little short but I'll try to write more from now on!!! Next chapter should be in EPOV!!!! How should Edward react??? Mad/sad?..let me know!!! Keep on reviewing guys!
