Bella's P.O.V.
I quickly pull into Charlie's drive way and hopped out of my truck. I walked to the door and was ready to unlock it when Charlie pulled up in the cruiser. He got out of his car, and was making his way toward me. "Hey Bells," he said with a smile. When he got closer, he looked more worried. He saw the dried tears and the red puffy eyes "Bella, what's wrong? Did Edward do something?" You got to love Charlie. He might not talk much but he's very observant when it comes to me.
"Daddy, Edward… he broke up with me," I said right before I busted into sobs. Charlie pulled me by my jacket and hugged me tight to him. After a few minutes of clinging to him, I pulled away and wiped my tears with the sleeve of my jacket, I said, "Dad, I have to leave Forks."
Charlie's face became pained. I've only been living with him alittle over a year and I ran away or walked out on him twice. He doesn't want me to leave, but I need to. "Can't you just stay with me Bells. I know that that boy broke your heart baby girl. But you can't just up and leave. You can't run way from your problems."
"Charlie you don't understand. I don't want to turn into that zombie Bella again. This is why I want to leave. I want to be by myself, have some time to think. I already graduated so I don't have to worry about school. And I'm not running away, I'm trying to deal with my problems, dad," I said while wiping the remainder of tears.
"I suppose you're right. Where are you going to go?"
"I don't know, but I'll call when I get to where ever I'm gonna go."
"You better. Do you need help packing?" he said with a small sad smile.
"No. I think I can manage," I smiled back. I went into the house and up to my room. I looked under my bed and received my suitcase, and placed it on my bed. Going over to my dresser, I see a picture of me and Edward. It was the picture we took at prom last year. We were so happy. What happened? What did I do wrong? I took the Picture out of its frame and reached for the box of matches that were sitting next to it. After setting it on fire, I placed it in the garbage pail and watched it burn into ash. I opened up my drawers and took out all my t-shirts and jeans and put them in my suitcase. I also put in seven sets of matching bras and panties. Behind my door were my chucks and I put those in the bag too. I looked in the closet and found the biggest purse I owned and went to the bathroom and loaded up all my toiletries.
When I went back to my room, Charlie was sitting on my bed zipping up my bag. He looked up at me and gave me another small sad smile. I strolled into my room and went to my bed side table and opened the cabinet. Sitting in a glass mason jar was alittle over seven hundred dollars. I took the bills and stuffed them in my pants pocket. From the corner of my eye I see Charlie stand up and reach in his back pocket to pull out his wallet. He opens his wallet and takes all the money out of it and walk toward me. He hands me the money. "Here," I start to protest, but he cuts me off. "Don't argue with me Bella. Take the money." I put the money with the rest and looked up at him. "I'm going to give you my cell phone. You better call me when you get to where you're going. Don't make me worry too much, ok?" I took the phone and he pulled me into a hug. Charlie wasn't the emotional type, but this was an emotional time for us. "I love you, baby girl. Never forget that." I nodded my head and again I wiped away my tears. I grabbed my bag and headed down stairs. Charlie falls close behind. We leave the house and I climb in to the driver seat of my truck. Charlie and I kiss each other's cheek. He backs away and I back out into the street and drive down the road.
I let the tears roll down my face as I leave Forks. There is nothing to hold me here. My life it falling apart and there's nothing I can do about it. I pull into the nearest gas station to fill up. I went inside to pay and got some food for the road. I got back on the interstate and drove for hours.
'Welcome to Michigan' the sign said. A new state, a new life. I just hope it's better than the last one.
Geeze it's still too short =(. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed it.
