Chapter 2,

Bella's POV,

Telling Charlie I was leaving was hard but it needed to be done, from the moment I moved to Fork's I haven't been happy. I thought being with Edward was my possible happiness but it wasn't meant to be, I was just fooling myself. Looking at it now me and Edward are just to different people, we would never of worked. He wanted a Victorian woman and that just wasn't me, I'm an independent woman I have always been that way he wanted me to look to him for my decisions that's just not me.

I was stood in front of Charlie waiting for him to say something, I could see the wheels in his head turning, probably trying to think of ways for me not to go, or reasons to stay. But it wouldn't work, this is my chance to really be happy, and I wanted to meet my father. After all it wasn't Clay's fault that he didn't bring me up it was my birth mothers, then it was Renée and Charlie's for keeping me away from Clay.

Charlie should have let Clay come and get me from Renée all those years ago, because I can imagine I would of been a lot happier. Maybe I would of had a real parent and it wouldn't of been left to me to bring up Renée.

After what felt like hours Charlie finally opened his mouth, and I knew he was gonna launch into some tirade which was gonna get him no where.

"Bella are you sure about this? You don't know Clay Morrow from Adam, do you really want to move to a town you don't know with people you don't know? Are you really gonna leave me and Jacob? "

Did he really think that would work? Me and Jacob weren't even really friends anymore, we hadn't been in a long time and if thinks there was anything else between us he was seriously delusional.

"Charlie, I love you, your my dad you've always been there for me and I appreciate that but you have to let me live my life the way I want to live it. I have to make my own mistakes, me and Jacob are nothing more then friends and lately we haven't even been that. You have to understand I want this chance to get to know my biological father, I have to know where I came from."

He had to let me make my own decisions in my life, this is what I wanted to do, I would do it with or without his support. Id rather have his support but I didn't need it.

He took a deep breath, looked at me then nodded his head,

"Your right, your old enough to make your own decisions and I cant stop you. Better still I wont stop you. I just want you to think about this first ok."

"Charlie I have thought about this. I haven't been happy in Forks since moving here, that's nothing to do with you though its all on me. I need to live for me now and that's what I'm doing, if it doesn't work out it doesn't work but I have to at least try and Clay deserves to know me its not his fault he wasn't in my life."

I left it at that, there wasn't much else either of us could say. I wouldn't change my mind and Charlie wouldn't stop trying to get me to stay. I had to do this for me, with that in mind I decided to go and talk to Jacob, things have been different between us but I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye first.

I walked to the stairs grabbed my jacket off the banister, looked at Charlie who had his eyebrow raised in question.

"I'm going to see Jacob and say goodbye, I wont be long"

I walked out of the house and jumped into the truck, I stuck the key in and started the engine. Pulling out of the drive straight away, heading in the direction of La Push in the cruiser it takes about 10 minutes to get to the little red house but in my rust bucket it takes double that.

I couldn't even listen to music as I had ripped out the radio when the Cullens left, no way in hell I wanted anything from them lot.

I pulled up outside the little red house, jumped out the truck walked to the door I knocked the door and waited. It wasn't long till Billy was opening the door, he looked at me smiled and ushered me into his home.

"Hey Bella, Jacobs sleeping but you can go wake him up"

"Thanks Billy"

I walked straight to Jacobs room, opened his door and walked in closing it behind me. I walked over to his bed and poked him in the ribs, startling him making him jump up in fright

"What the hell?"

"Hey Jake"

He looked at me in shock,

"Bella? What are you doing here?"

" I thought you should hear from me, I'm leaving. Charlie and Renee aren't actually my parents. Turns out they adopted me, my real dad lives in Charming California, I spoke to him today and well his buying me a ticket. I leave tonight"

He looked shocked, which didn't surprise me I did just blurt it all out, but I didn't see the point in beating around the bush. I could see the minute it sunk in cause he had anger written all over his face. What he was angry at I never know, not like we had spoken in weeks.

"Your leaving, just like that? Charlie may not be your biological dad but he has been there for you all your life. Where's your so called real dad been?"

"You know what Jacob, I'm only here to say goodbye nothing more, what I do is nothing to do with you. Yes Charlie's been my dad but I have a right to know my biological dad to, and as for where my real dad has been he didn't even know about me until a year ago. As I said goodbye Jacob"

With that I left, there wasn't anything I needed to say and there really wasn't anything I needed to hear from him. I made it to the front door when I was grabbed on my arm, I looked behind me and saw Jake,

"Bella I'm sorry but you just dropped a bomb on me what did you expect? Last time we spoke you were all heartbroken over Cullen. Now your telling me your leaving to some town I've never heard of to meet someone who claims to be your dad. What did you expect?"

I knew someone where in my brain he had a point but at the same time, I was still pissed as hell at him. I rip my arm from his hand and turn away from him, I go to walk out of the door then turn just my head back to him.

"Know what Jake I didn't expect anything from you. I only came to tell you goodbye."

With that I left, I got back in my truck and drove straight back to Charlies. I walked in, went to my room grabbed my suitcases and dropped them at the bottom of the stairs. I walked into the room where Charlie is,

"Can you give me a lift to the airport? I need to leave now"

He nodded his head, got up grabbed his keys and my suitcase with me grabbing the other one. We put them both in the trunk of the cruiser, I got in the passenger seat while he got in the drivers side. Then we were on our way, not much was said between us, we were never ones for talking really and it seems even with me leaving that wasn't about to change.

It was silent on the road so it didn't take us long to get there, he pulled up to drop of point and got out. I followed and grabbed a trolley, where he loaded my cases onto it for me. We stood awkwardly for a moment before I leaned in and hugged him placing a kiss on his cheek.

"I'll phone you when I get off the plane. I love you, you know that right?"

"Yeah Bells I do. I love you to, I know you have to do this for you"

With that I left, I pushed the trolley to the ticket booth,

"Hi, I'm here to collect a ticket for Bella Swan, ticket number AB67589"

"Ok hun lets see."

She typed the number into the computer, smiled then looked up.

"Do you have your passport?"

I took my passport out of my pocket then handed it over, she checked it gave it back then printed off my ticket, she handed that over smiling at me.

"Have a nice flight hun"

"Thank you"

I then made my way over to sign in my suitcases, I gave over all the information, she did all she needed to do.

"ok your flight leaves in twenty minutes from gate 5"

I nodded my head and walked off, made my way to gate 5, and stood in line waiting. I didn't have to wait long, I got on the plane, got directed to my seat, sat down and pulled out my cell phone. I got up the messages to Clay.

To clay: on plane now see you soon. X

I didn't wait long for a response.

To Bella: ok Princess, I'll be waiting the other end to collect you x

The in flight emergency information started so I turned off my cell and settled in. Charming here I come.
