I walked back to the cottage and walked into the master bedroom. I grabbed my duffle bag and threw some clothes into it. I threw in a few pairs of shoes and opened the safe at the bottom of the closet. I grabbed my pass port from it along with a wad of cash. The cash was from my college savings and the money Charlie left me in his will. I put some of the money in the articles of clothing for safe keeping and put the rest of the cash in my wallet. I grabbed my tote bag and threw some makeup and my blackberry and iTouch. I zippered up the bags and I heard a door shut.
"Bella, are you home?" Edward called.
Crap! "Yeah." I mumbled knowing he would hear me. He appeared in the door wat of the bedroom and saw my packed things. He was dressed in a new pair of scrubs ready for today's shift. Around his neck was his Stethoscope. His eyes were a freshly painted gold as he had just hunted. Mine on the other hand were almost my human eye color. I hadn't hunted in over 4 weeks.
"You're leaving." Edward pointed out. I nodded slinging the duffle bag over my shoulder and the tote bag on my other shoulder. "Please don't do this." Edward pleaded. I could see the reality start to seep into Edward's expressions. His facial features showed an awful disarray of upsetment and concern. "Don't leave Bella, I can't live without you."
"You can, you've been doing it for the past 6 months." I stated and swept back a piece of hair that fell in my face. "Plus I have to, it's best for the both of us." He was left without an argument. Just like I was when he left me.
"If that's what you want." He said. I nodded and his body froze.
"Take care of the family while I'm gone." I said, speeding things along.
"I will." He whispered helpless. I hated doing this to him. I hated telling my husband goodbye. I hated almost telling Renesmee goodbye when the Volturi war almost broke out in the back yard. Jacob was going to have to take her away.
"I'll make you a promise in return." I stated. "I'll come back eventually, but now in a few days, not in a few weeks. Maybe in a few months." He didn't speak. He was propped on the door ledge and I traced over his features with my eyes. They were all saddened.
"I guess this is it." He said finally.
"For now." I agreed "Goodbye Edward." I dropped the duffle bag to the ground and kissed his cheek goodbye. I picked the bag up once more and Edward moved out of the way so I could get through. His back was in Renesmee's old doorway.
"What about Renesmee?" He asked.
"She's on her own. We talked about this before when you were at work." I said. "She knows what's happening." I walked out of the cottage and headed to the main house and looked back to Edward who watching me leave, against the front door frame.
I got to the cottage and I found everyone was waiting in the garage where my car was. Jasper was the first to greet me. "Bye Bella." Jasper said and gave me a tight hug.
"Bye Jasper thanks for listening." I said.
"I love you Bella, come home soon." He whispered in my ear.
"I love you to Jasper." I smiled and face the rest of the family. Emmett was sobbing in Rosalie's arms so I said my goodbyes to Esme and Alice. Carlisle was next; I was surprised he was even home.
"Bye Carlisle." I said.
"This is my fault." He muttered. "I'm the one who had Edward stay after hours."
"It's not totally your fault Carlisle, Edward is at fault to for when he was home he didn't give the attention equally."
"Just come back to us." Esme interjected.
"No matter what happens, I will be a Cullen at heart." I said not promising them anything.
I walked over to Rosalie who had pushed Emmett into Jasper's arms. Rosalie held out her arms and I embraced her with a goodbye hug. "I can't believe he is a mess already." I told her.
"He's Emmett and you're Bella, it's the whole losing his sister again thing." She said rolling her eyes. "Come home soon, we are going to be a mass, again."
"Emmett." I said sweetly.
"B-B-Bellsy." He sobbed.
"Aww, Emmett, don't make it worse." I frowned. He dry sobbed in my arms and I had to hold him up.
"B-B-But this will be the s-s-second time you'll be g-gone." He stuttered.
"But last time Emmett; you didn't know if you'd see me again. This time I guarantee you I will call, email, whatever, you will see or hear from me. Okay?" I said trying to make it better.
Emmett's sobs started to lessen but then anger raged all throughout his body. "IT'S EDWAWRD'S FAULT!" Emmett got in a crouch and looked toward Edward's silver Volvo that was now a collector's item.
"Emmett, don't do this. You'll regret it." Esme said.
"Emmett it was my decision, not Edward's." I said.
Emmett didn't take anything Esme or I said to heart. He pounced to the car and slashed the tires with his teeth. He pounded in the roof. He smashed all the windows. The silver Volvo was destroyed.
"EMMETT!" We all yelled. Carlisle and Jasper ran to him and restrained him back from doing any more damage.
"Go Bella, get out of here." Alice said "We have Emmett under control." I looked at her with worry filling my eyes. She had just dismissed me out of the house. I got in the car and drove off to the main highway. I was headed somewhere, I just didn't know where.
