Chapter 3: NEW
''Isa, you have to promise me that you'll take care of yourself. Don't ever do anything reckless, harmful, violent, stup-..''
''I won't Jake. I Promise.'' I cut him off and hugged him.
''Alright. And please promise to contact me every single day. If one week already passed and I haven't got any updates from you I will really tell your parents where you are okay?'' He let me go. He stared at me in his serious look and raised an eyebrow.
''Don't worry. Promise is a promise.'' I smiled my huge smile.
We said our goodbyes and he kissed me on my cheek.
''I love you so much Isabella. Be safe.'' He sobbed as I turn around and made my way to get in the plane.
A flight attendant greeted me when I finally was inside. I showed her my ticket, it was VIP.
''Please follow me to the VIP section madam.'' she said with a smile. Another flight attendant carried my bags.
I followed them and they showed me to my seat. I sat and thanked them. Then I watched the drops of rain outside the window.
Flashbacks from my childhood to the day I ran away from home ran through my mind. Finally, a flight attendant announced to put our seatbelts on.
''I'll miss everything.'' I whispered through my breath. Then we flew up the sky.
I'm not really sure of what and where I am going through. I know living in New York on my own without the knowledge of my parents won't be easy and will be very different from my life in Forks.
I have to be independent and smart. I don't know anyone who lived there except the Cullen family and my mom who goes there sometimes for the company. But they shouldn't find out. No one should find out that I'll be living in New York.
I'm sure my parents won't tell Esme and her husband, Carlisle, about my disappearance so that they'll think that the wedding will still go on. I know my parents will send out search parties soon. I have to find a way that they can't find and trace me. I really trust Jacob in this.
Soon, all my savings will be used up so I have to find a job. I also have to find an apartment for me to stay, a scholarship for college... Ugh! This is harder than I thought.
''Orange juice madam?'' A flight attendant interrupted my thoughts.
''Uhm.. thanks.'' I looked up at her, my voice unsure.
''Is everything alright madam? Do you need anything?''
''I'm fine. Don't worry about me.'' I lied then I took a sip of the juice she served.
''Alright then.'' She smiled and left.
Of course I'm not fine. I don't know what's ahead of me in New York. But I will survive, I know I will. This is the right thing for me to do.
I finished my drink then another flight attendant cleaned it up.
I asked her where the restroom is.
''Just go to the back then a few steps to the left madam.'' she answered me politely.
I thanked her.
I got up and made my way to the restroom.
I half-opened the door but then I saw a familiar face.
It's the beautiful woman that I saw yesterday. It's the woman that gave me the plane ticket for New York. My mother's best friend and the mother of the guy that I don't want to marry.
''Esme.'' I said in a low voice.
I got scared. I seriously don't want her to know that I am here.
I shut the door and it slammed loudly.
I saw someone behind me jumped from my action and got pissed off.
''Sorry.'' I apologized then I walked very fast back to my seat.
Thank God Esme didn't saw me when I opened the door. But I am pretty sure she's going to be also sitting in the VIP section.
I need to disguise myself right now!
I hurriedly opened my bag. I saw my nerdy glasses so I wore it then messily braided my hair. I checked myself for a moment in the mirror. I look like a nerd now, I hope this works.
Minutes passed as I waited for her to pass by.
I yawned. I haven't slept last night. I closed my eyes and everything went black.
''Isabella?'' I opened my eyes and saw the beautiful woman.
''Oh, Esme! Please don't tell anyone that I ran away from home. I know it's not good but I just know it's the right thing to do!'' I pleaded.
''And I'm so sorry of what I did last night at dinner. It's just that, I don't want to marry someone I don't know and I don't even love!''
''No need to rush darling. Just come with me and you'll get to know him. You might even love him!'' She smiled happily.
''I'm not sure.'' I said blankly.
''Yes you are! Come! Come with me!'' Her angel voiced turned to a scary one.
I looked at her eyes in horror as she grabbed my hand.
''No! Please Esme, no!'' I shouted.
She dragged me to a door and opened it.
I saw the sky. She's going to kill me!
She pushed me down but I held my hand to a corner of the door.
''HELP ME!'' I screamed.
Nobody heard. Everyone in the plane was acting normal except this woman who's trying to kill me.
''You will love him Isabella!'' Esme swore as she pushed me harder.
I screamed as I fell from the sky.
''Madam!'' The flight attendant woke me up.
Tears fell into my eyes. I was having a nightmare!
''Whe-where's everyone?'' I asked. My voice trembled. She removed my nerdy glasses and wiped my tears away.
''We arrived in New York ten minutes ago madam. I tried to wake you up because you were asleep. Not just asleep, you were having a nightmare! Are you okay?''
''Oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry it's just a dream. Thank you so much.'' I smiled to assure her that I'm okay.
She helped me up and got my bags then we went out of the plane.
''Welcome to New York City madam!'' She said as she put my bags down.
''Thank you and enjoy!'' She smiled then left.
I put on my bags as I went inside the airport and lined up for the checking of bags.
Everything went clean.
I saw Esme from a faraway corner. A handsome man hugged her and kissed her passionately on the lips. He must be Carlisle. They're such a perfect couple. Both are good looking and loving to each other. Their children must be good looking too.
Edward, my 'supposed-to-be' fiancée must be a good looking guy.
I frowned. A good looking face doesn't mean a good heart.
It's not that I judged but I just don't know him. Most good looking guys in my school are playboys. They really don't deserve any girl. That's why I don't want to date any guy at all. They lie and cheat all the time. (N/A: Just like my ex! Okay, now back to my story. Hahaha! )
I just hope Edward's not like that but oh well, I'm not going to meet him in this big city anyway.
I remembered I should hide myself from the Cullens.
I hurriedly went outside and got myself into a cab.
''Uhm?...''
I thought about hotels in New York. I remembered the five-star hotel that my mom talked about when she got here for the first time.
''Take me to the New York Palace Hotel please.''
The driver nodded.
A couple of minutes passed and it was boring.
I politely requested the driver to turn on the radio.
''Not a problem.'' He smiled and turned it on.
New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of!
There's nothing you can do!...
It was the perfect song right now. Alicia Keys really had a great voice.
The song played as I watched some beautiful spots of the city. I can't wait to tour around!
I smiled at that thought.
We finally arrived at the luxurious hotel. I stared at it and couldn't take my eyes off of it. The bellman opened the cab's door for me. My eyes, still locked on the beautiful scene as I stood up.
''Wow!'' I exclaimed. My eyes sparkled.
''Hey! You still didn't pay!'' The driver yelled at me.
''Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm just so amazed by this place. Here.'' I gave him my payment. ''Just keep the change.''
He looked satisfied then the he drove away.
The bellman carried my bags as I went inside the lobby to check in.
The lobby is very elegant. It's like a palace!
The lightings of the chandeliers were very bright. There are a lot of beautiful sculptures, paintings, furniture and a huge fountain.
''Welcome to the New York Palace Hotel! How can I help you?'' The hotel manager asked.
''I'm going to check in.'' I replied.
He gave me a sheet to fill up. I'm only staying for a week because I have to save up some of my savings for the future. I better find a cheap apartment soon.
''Follow me ma'am.'' The bellman gestured. I followed him as he carried my bags.
We went inside the elevator and he pressed the seventeenth floor button as he said ''Your room number is one-four-three ma'am and it's in the seventeenth floor.''
''Okay.'' I said nicely to him.
We're finally at the seventeenth floor. We walked straight to find the room. And there it was! I feel excited to see it.
He opened the door with a card. Then he went inside.
''This is your room ma'am.'' he gestured me to get inside.
He showed me around the room. It was magical. The walls were decorated in vintage style. And the lightings were bright.
In the living room, there's a fireplace, a huge flat screen television, a long and comfortable sofa, and so much more!
In the bedroom, there's a big bed covered with a white sheet, a big closet and a dresser with a huge mirror. There's also the terrace that's beautifully surrounded with vines.
In the restroom, there's the huge bathtub with rose petals on it, the shower room and the toilet.
This place is perfect! I feel like a princess.
'Thank you so much!'' I said happily to the bellman.
''You're welcome ma'am. Just go to the lobby if you need anything. Enjoy your stay!''
''Okay thanks.'' I gave him a tip as he gave me the room card. He smiled then left.
I went inside the bedroom to unpack my things.
When they were all arranged, I checked my phone. Damn, I knew I'd get a lot of messages, missed calls and voice mails from my parents and Jacob. I have to buy a new sim card soon so that my parents couldn't trace me.
I called Jacob in.
''Isa!'' Jacob hurriedly answered.
''Hey Jake. How are you?'' I asked him calmly.
''You have no idea how worried I was Isabella. You might have been in a plane crash, a car accident, a kidnapping-...''
''Snap out of it Jake! I'm fine as a horse. Don't worry.'' I laughed. His thoughts are so over heels.
I heard him sighed. He must be very worried.
''Really Isa, I waited for six hours staring at my phone in my room just to get a call from you.'' He said softly in his husky voice.
''I'm sorry. I should have called you earlier.''
''Where are you now anyway?''
''I just checked in this five star hotel, the New York Palace.'' I smiled. I love this place!
''You should have checked in to a cheaper one.'' He muttered.
''Well, I don't know any hotels here except where my mom used to check in. But don't worry, my aim this week is to find a cheap apartment.'' I assured him.
''I don't know Isa. You might get lost in that big city. I wish I was there with you.'' He said the last sentence slowly.
''Me too Jake. But it's the only way. I'm only staying here for a week.''
There was silence for a while.
''Fine just don't get yourself lost. Okay?''
''I won't.'' I promised.
''So how's my parents?'' I asked.
''They're sending out search parties for you Isa especially towns near Forks. They even asked me if I know where you are. But you know me...'' He chuckled for a while then continued. ''I'm a good liar.''
''That's my ninja!'' I giggled.
''What if they'll find out that you're in New York?''
''I was thinking I'm going to be having a fake identity and get myself a new sim card so that they couldn't trace me. Soon, they'll know that I'm staying in this hotel because I signed in my real name. I'm sure they won't tell the Cullens about my disappearance. Which reminds me... that I have to go. I better do it now.''
''But Isa we just talked-...''
''No buts for now Jake, I can't let them find me. I'll call you soon. Take care.'' I ended the call and switched my phone off.
I hurriedly went out of my room and left the hotel.
No one should find me here. This is my new life. I will not let them find me. I will renew everything.
