III

As we got there I saw the frantic form of Charlie through the window, I didn't even leave a note.

"Bells. Why does he look freaked out?" Jake asked as we pulled in the drive, getting out of the car.

"Do you blame him? I left him twice, once making it seem like I hated him and it here, the other all I left was a note. I know you're not dumb Jake, you figure it out," I said, bitter. I was almost positive that Edward left me, but I wasn't thinking about that it was all way too much.

"Jake, I don't think I can do this. I don't think I can be a werewolf. I am so scared the Edward left because of this, and I know it's my fault, and I just know that he's not coming back, and boy does my house stink," I whispered the last part of my rant as we walked in the door. Charlie was in the living room with the phone pressed to his ear.

"OH! Here she is now thanks for your help Sam," Charlie said hanging up, "Bella, I was just talking to Sam and it seems that we have to go down to La Push to talk, but you probably already knew that, seeing as you left me here frantic, when I had to take a day off of work just to spend time with you. And I know that you are sorry and it was an emergency, but you could have at least left a note. I thought you would have learned by now Bella, that I worry to much and love you to much for you not to leave a note. Do you know how scared I was, with you being a danger magnet and all?"

That coming from Charlie was a big deal and I knew that I upset him greatly. When he was done he quickly got into Jake's car in the front, he then got out and let me in the back, Jake getting in the driver side in and started to drive to the worst conversation of my life.

Once we arrived at Sam and Emily's house, I could sense the apprehension of my father. I was wary and apprehensive of this meeting as well, so I really didn't blame in. As soon as we entered the house Sam cut to the chase, which didn't help my apprehension or my dad's.

"Your daughter is a werewolf," he said out of the blue like that.

"Real smooth Sam," Jake scoffed. Jared, Paul, and Embry were laughing so hard.

"Is this some kind of joke," Charlie said in a disapproving tone and the boys quickly sobered up.

"No sir. This is very real," said Paul, the undertone of sadness in his voice was so touching and heart wrenching. I was going to have to stay with the pack, I couldn't leave here, they were my family from now on, well half of my family anyway. I am still hoping that Edward would have stayed. But if I stay would my voice have an undertone of sadness like that?

"Boys I really don't have time for this. And Sam you of people playing this kind joke, it is pitiful," Charlie spat at them as he walked out.

"DAD!" I screamed after him, but he wasn't listening to me, "DAD!" I tried louder this time.

"Bella. I just. I can't. I believe you, but. I just can't handle it okay. I just can't. You have to stay here. You can't come back Bells," Charlie said and the undertone I heard in Paul's voice was there, in my dad's. I started to shake so violently that there was no way of calming me down, so Jake, who cam rushing out of Sam's house, picked me up and ran me into the woods, where I exploded into a snowy white wolf, the Pale Wolf, the strong one, but I wasn't strong enough to handle this.

"Bells!" Jake screamed, "You could have killed your dad." Then he transformed into the rusty brown wolf, which saved her in the meadow that day. He growled at me ferociously, kind of reprimanding and I cowered in fear as I heard his thoughts.

"Bells what happened?" Jake asked.

"Well, he said…he said that he…he didn't want me…I just got informally disowned," I explained as I whimpered and howled. Jake left after awhile, not knowing how to comfort me. The last thought I heard was:

"Leah'll bring your clothes,"

Once he was gone I howled and whimpered even louder, I can't lose Charlie, he's the only reason I moved here, the only reason why I met the love of my life and my best friend. I had to stop this probably sounded like a dying wolf and soon someone was bound to come so I quickly took some deep breaths and I morphed back. Leah chose then to make her appearance and quickly threw the clothes at my feet.

I changed and then she said, "Your staying at Jake's. Your stuff is already there, don't worry."

"I thought I'd stay with the Cullen's," I said, trying to sound like I believed myself. He was my last hope everyone else had abandoned me.

"Bella. I think they are leaving," she said and then I attacked her. With all my might I ran into her as I turned into a wolf. She quickly did the same and we fought a long time way into the night. I was crying as I fought, but I definitely got some bad hits. I needed to fight with someone and I needed to do it soon. He left he said he loved me he was going to marry me, how could one little thing change that. Finally, I heard the thoughts of the boys, which met they heard Leah's and mine. They quickly came and pulled us off of one another. Leah was much more beaten and bloody then I was, but I was pretty badly hurt, too. They dropped us off at Sam and Emily's house and we phased back in the front yard. Then Emily quickly came out and helped us inside, but our wounds were already healing.

"You're a natural, Bella, even more so then Jake was," Leah said.

I didn't even dignify that with a response. All I said was, "Where am I staying. I don't want to see Jake right now, I don't want to see any of you guys, but Charlie won't let me come back so as a result I am forced to choose a place to stay. I just want to go to bed, so if you could tell me where I can stay that is werewolf free I would gladly get out of your hair."

"There's a hotel in Seattle, but that's as close as your going to get," said Leah gruffly as I ran out of there and grabbed a set of keys on the way out. I tried all the cars in the drive and finally got the right one. Then I left to Seattle to get a hotel room, because this was all just to much, not just for one day, but forever.
