Well here you have it, Chapter two. hope you like it.

Ch. 2 Goodbyes

"Hey Jake. How you been?"

This morning I woke up and went straight to La Push. Today Jacob looked a lot better than last night. I was happy about that. But I was also sad. Last night I decided to leave while Jacob was force to stay in bed, that way he wouldn't be able to stop me. So the fact that he was healing so fast meant that I had to leave sooner than I planned.

Billy had been the one to answer the when I got here and he told me that Jacob would be back to normal in two days, if not sooner. Which also meant I was gonna have to leave town tomorrow.

"Good. Except for the fact that I'm stuck in bed and I had no one to talk to," Jacob said, "I'm glad this nightmare will be over soon."

I try to smile at him, but I couldn't knowing that this will be the last time I would see him.

"What's wrong Bella?" He asked a little worry now. Obviously my facade hadn't work so well.

"Victoria," I said without thinking.

Jacob graved my hands and pulled me to him, "It's okay bella, I won't let her hurt you, I'll die before she can touch you." I lay on his chess letting him comfort me.

That's the problem, I thought to myself, you would die before anything happens to me.


I spend most of the morning and part of the afternoon with Jacob. We mostly talked about all the things we would do once he was out of his bed. I felt horrible to let him get his hopes up even though I knew we would never be able to do those stuff. But if I didn't keep pretending, otherwise he would know something was off.

"I wish you could stay longer," Jacob said, "I get pretty bored alone."

"I wish I could stay, too," You have no idea, "But its getting pretty late and there are somethings I still have to do."

"Yeah yeah. But promise me you will visit me tomorrow after school."

"I promise," I lied. Right there at that moment I was about to break to the floor and start crying, but I hold it back.

"Okay," he said with that smile I loved that much, "Bye Bells, I'll you soon."

"Bye Jake, I love you, never forget that." And with that I was gone.

Charlie wasn't home yet when I got there. I guess he was working late. This allowed some time to myself. Some time to think.

I went to my room and turned on the computer, which was taking forever. I decided to write Charlie and Jacob a letter while I waited for the computer. It was the least I could do. And both of them deserved some kind of explanation.

Dad,

I'm so sorry I had to leave you like this. With no explanation. I love you dad, and will always love you, but this is something I have to do. I don't know if we will ever see each other again. And I'm sorry for that. Tell mom I love her, too. I really am sorry.

Sincerely,

Bella

I putted the letter in an envelope and tittle it "Dad". Then I went ahead to write Jacobs letter, and did the same with it when I was done writing it, except I title it "Jacob".

I could feel the tears come again, but they had to wait for now, there was something I had to solve first. Where was I going to escape to?

I decided somewhere sunny would be appropriate, that way I would be safe from vampires during the day time, there really was nothing I could do about the night.

A memory come to me. A memory from a different life time, something Edward had said once, "... the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?" With the memory came pain. I try to ignore it. Instead I went back to my place-search-thinking.

It also had to be somewhere far away, I decided. I went to sit next to the computer and started searching for places with those qualities.

Lots of places pooped up such as, Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Virginia. I started to imagine myself in those places, Texas being the first.

A picture of me, wearing a cowboy hat and riding a horse, came to me once I thought of Texas. More or less, I had the same picture in my mind when I thought of Oklahoma, after all, they are next to each other. That took them both immediately out of my list of choices.

That got me down to South Carolina and Virginia, I knew little about either so I decided to leave it to faith and flip a coin. Tails, South Carolina. Heads, Virginia. I went for two out off three. Tails, Heads. So far they where in a tie. I flipped the coin again an Heads come up. Virginia it is.

I started to Google Virginia, looking for small towns. Several came up but the one that caught my eye was one named, Mystic Falls. I click on it and it said that the town was found around the mid-1800s and that the founding families descenders still lived there. Apparently Mystic Falls was also a place rich with history. I decided that Mystic Falls would be it.

Before I turned of the computer I printed a picture of a map of Mystic Falls so I wouldn't get lost once I was there. I also erased the whole history, just in case someone decided to check it.

I went ahead and started packing for my 'trip'. I was able to get all my stuff to fit into two small suitcases. I decided to pack some books and wanted to take some CD's, too bad I had broke them all. I also packed all my school papers along with an ID and my passport in case I ever needed it.

After I was done packing I went to call the airline. I still had enough of my college fund to pay for the airplane, as well some to pay for a motel room while I founded a job and somewhere to stay. And I was ready to go.

At the realization that tonight was gonna be the last night I would sleep in my room, I started crying and this time I didn't fight it. I had been holding it back for long enough.


The next morning I woke up, Charlie was still home.

"Good morning dad," I said as I came into the kitchen. I started to make myself a bowl of cereal.

"Hi Bells," Charlie was just finishing frying himself some eggs. "I didn't have a chance to talk to you last night. Did you went to sleep early?"

"Yeah, I was pretty tired."

"I guessed that, you don't usually go to sleep so early," he commented, "so what got you so tired?"

"Me and Jake took a hike around the forest near La Push," I lie.

"You guys made sure to stay on the trail, right?" he asked worry. He always got that way when I mentioned wondering in the woods.

"Of course dad," I said rolling my eyes when he wasn't looking.

The rest of breakfast was quiet. I didn't mind it. It gave time to think.

"Err... Bella, you know there's still more cereal, right?" Charlie suddenly said. I was confuse by his comment, until I notice I had been so deep in thought that I hadn't notice I was still bringing my spoon to my mouth even though there was nothing in the bowl.

"Oh." I said blushing.

Charlie gave a small laugh and went to wash his plate on the sink. I followed after him.

"Well I guess I'll see you later Bells, bye." he said while heading to the door, "Make sure not to be late to school.

"Bye dad. I love you," I wanted to make sure he knew that, after tonight he might not believe it.

"Ah... Love you, too, Bells," he said a little awkward. I was hard for him to say out loud his feelings. I got that from him.

I gave him a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before he left.

Once Charlie was out of sight the phone rang.

Well what you do you think? [Review:] I'll try to update as soon as possible.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I don't own twilight or the Vampire Diaries (wish i did, though)
