When I came too, I saw everyone surrounding me.

"You scared us Belle. How are you feeling?" Jules asked.

"Umm…okay I guess. What the hell happened? Why am I laying on the couch?" I asked sitting up some.

"Do you remember anything before you fainted?" Angela asked.

I looked around at everyone and though about some things.

"I didn't answer Jasper when he asked me out." I said.

You could see they were trying to not laugh but Emmett didn't last long in that department for long. He laughed loud and long.

"I'm gonna like you Bells!" He said laughing again.

"Do you remember anything else Darlin?" Jasper asked me.

Looking around the room, I thought about what he asked me. It seems that it took me forever to remember things after lunch.

"HOLY SHIT YOU'RE VAMPIRES!" I yelled before moving away from Jasper.

"Yes, we are but we're not going to hurt you Darlin." Jasper said looking at me.

I wasn't too sure about that so I wanted to stay as far away from them as possible.

"Look, it's all fine and dandy that you're vampires but I don't think I should hang around y'all too much. We don't know anything about y'all and from what I know or at least, think I know, we shouldn't know you exist." I said.

"We'd never hurt you three Bella, at least Jules and Angela. Edward and Emmett won't let anything happen to Jules and Angela." Jasper told me.

~WOW! Guess I'm not worthy enough to have someone watch over me~ I thought.

"That's not true Bella. We'll all watch over you so there's no reason to think that way." Edward said.

I didn't take heed to what he was saying so I schooled my features and got up from the couch.

"Well, you don't have to worry about me saying anything to anyone about you and your family. Jules and Angela can show you out." I said going upstairs to my room.

Today was an eye opener for me. Vampires were real and it's official, no one wants me. My girls were happy so I was happy for them. I knew something wasn't right but I didn't think it was going to be this life changing. This changed a lot at school too. Now that I knew what was going on, I'm not sure if I can be friendly anymore. I don't know if I can even stay here anymore.

To say that things were strained at school the next day was the understatement of the century. I didn't even talk to my girls! I took to sitting in my car at lunch because I couldn't face anyone. I was heading to class after lunch when Jasper stopped me.

"Bella, what's going on? Jules and Angela are worried about you, so am I." He said grabbing my hand.

"Nothing is going on Jasper. The girls don't need to worry about me anymore. That's what they have y'all for. I'm gonna be late to Bio." I said moving around him.

Upon entering the class, I saw not only Edward (who was my partner by the way) but Emmett AND Alice! This is all I need in my life right now. The teacher droned on about worms and I doodled in my notebook and spaced out. When I felt someone tap me I jumped about mile in the air. I looked around and saw that I was alone with 3 Cullens. Gathering my books, I started to make my way to the door but I got stopped, of course.

"What do y'all want? I thought I said everything to Jasper." I said with a little attitude.

"You haven't heard what we have to say about everything." Edward said.

"I really don't want to hear what you have to say. Now, if you will get out of my way I need to go." I said making my around them.

"Bella, please! Jules and Angela are worried about you. We all are actually." Alice said.

"They have you, Edward and you Emmett. Tell them that they don't need to worry about me anymore. Again please move so I can go!" I said loudly.

These people were really getting on my nerves! Ever since they spilled the beans, they act like I have to listen to them. Like I can't do anything without them around. Going away looked more like a done deal to me. I'd have to talk to Charlie about it.

That afternoon, I went home and thought about everything while I made dinner for me and Charlie. Charlie came home while I was putting the finishing touches on dinner.

"Hey Bells, dinner smells good." Charlie said putting his gun belt away and coming into the kitchen.

"Thanks Dad. Go wash your hands and I will have dinner plated up in a moment." I said.

While Charlie did that, I got our dinners on our plates and sat down to wait. I was nervous because I wasn't sure what he would say about me maybe going away. Dinner was quiet as usual, but I gathered SOME courage and talked to my Dad.

"Dad, how do you feel about me going away?" I asked picking ay my food.

"Going away to college? I know you're gonna go away…" He was saying.

"No Dad. I mean leaving Forks before college. Hear me out before you go crazy. I've loved being here with you and getting to spend time with you but there has been some things that have come up and I think I need to get away to think for a little while." I said to Charlie.

He looked like I kicked his puppy and then threatened to kill it.

"What's going on Bells? Are you in trouble?" Charlie asked me while reaching for my hand.

"No Dad, I'm not in trouble, there are things I can't tell you because it's not something for me to tell. Think of me going away as an early vacation." I said trying to make myself AND him more upbeat.

"Will you need anything? Do I need to call Renee? When will you go? How long will this "vacation" last?" He fired question after question at me.

"Calm down Dad, I'm not going anywhere for a few days, at least. I haven't decided where I'm going so you still have me for a few days. I do want you to know that where I go, I will call and give you updates but it would be best if I don't tell you were I am exactly." I said.

"you ARE in trouble Bella! What's going on?" He yelled.

"Dad I swear I'm not in trouble! I can't tell you anything Dad! Please just believe and trust me Dad when I say that it's better for you to be in the dark. Now, I'll clean up the kitchen when I come back from seeing Leah and Emily." I said.

Going out to my truck, I saw Edward, Alice and Jasper. I thought this would have been over but I guess I was wrong, again.

"Now what do you want? If this continues, vamps or not I WILL call you in for harassment." I said.

"You can't go to the reservation Bella. It's not safe there and I can't see you when you're there." Alice said.

"Well then it's a good thing I didn't ask you isn't it Alice. If you can't see me then it must mean I don't want you to know anything. Now, get off my property before I yell for my POLICE CHIEF father and have you arrested for trespassing as well as harassment." I said getting into my truck.

The drive to the Res, let me clear my mind and think about everything that had been going on. When I pulled up to Sam and Emily's house, it looked like the whole reservation was there.

'BELLA!" All the guys yelled coming to give me hugs.

"What's with the pow wow guys?" I asked going into the house.

"Just a tribal meeting is all. What's been going on with you, why do you smell like you've rolled in sugar or something?" Jake asked me.

"I don't know, it could be something to do with the Cullens!" I said making everyone in the room stop.

"I KNEW they were back!" Paul yelled punching a wall.

"When were any of you going to tell me about them? We've known each other for way too long and I've been to the gosh damn tribal bonfires where Billy and elders tell the story of the cold ones! I will admit that I have found one of them attractive but I'm NOT stupid enough to NOT know the fucking signs! So again I ask, when were any of YOU going to tell me about them?!" I yelled at the room at large.

"We knew they were back the minute they got into town, we didn't know if you would have believed the stories so we didn't think…" Sam said.

"Yep, you didn't think Sam! And now I've got a gosh damn mind reader, an empathy and a fucking magic 8 ball following. I didn't think anything od them at first until their first day at school during lunch. It took almost a week but they told me what they are and I can't even see my best friends because of them! Am I safer here on the Res with you wolves or do I go with the plan I have going on in my head?" Again, I said to the room at large.

The guys shuffled their feet and looked around like they didn't what what to say or do. I grabbed Leah and dragged her from the house. When I was sure we weren't followed I stopped.

"Look Lee, I'm leaving and I want you to come with me." I said.

"I'd love to go Bells, but I have to stay, orders you know." She said looking around.

"Screw orders Lee! Alice told me she can't see me while I'm here with y'all. For my plan to work I'm gonna need you. I don't want them to find me and try to lure me into some kind of cult. Y'all are sworn to protect, well not only will you be protecting me but you get away from Sam and Emily! Tell me it doesn't kill you ever second of everyday to see your EX with your cousin." I said looking at her in the eye.

I let that final statement float around for a minute before I saw Leah smile at me.

"Okay Bells, but it's not going to be easy to get Sam to agree to me leaving." Leah said as we walked back to the house.

I talked with Sam, Emily and Leah about what I wanted to do and after a million years, Sam finally agreed to let Lean come with me. To say I was as happy as a hooker with two overly paying clients was an understatement. When I left the Res, I was feeling over the moon. My joy ended when I saw Jasper was waiting for me, along with Jules and Angela. ~This is borderline obsession~ I thought when I cut the engine.

"Belle, what's going on? How come you're not hanging with us anymore?" Jules asked when I got out of the truck.

"We've been best friends since Pre-K, that doesn't stop because we have boyfriends." Angela said.

"Good move Jasper, but I hate to say it but I will. It's not working. Look, I will admit that yes, you are fine as hell but that's not enough to get me to join in on this love fest y'all have going on. You may have gotten Jules and Angela but you won't get me. Girls, you know I love you both but I won't be a 9th wheel and be somewhere I'm not wanted. I'm leaving Forks so you won't even have to worry about me anymore." I said my piece and walked into the house.

I avoided everyone when I went back to school because I had things to do. The first thing I did was tell the office I was leaving at the end of that week. Charlie had to come in to confirm I was leaving and all the rumors started. The best one was me going to Sweden to get my boobs done and have all kinds of plastic surgery.

My last day was spent taking all my finals. Once I was done with the last one, I headed out to my trusty truck. The three musketeers and their posse were waiting for me.

"Last chance to not go Bella." Alice said with a small attitude.

"Or what Tinkerbelle? You'll kill me? Kidnap? Because I have to say that in the event anything happens to me because of you, not only will my Dad know but he is instructed to go to others and let them know. Please try me Tinkerbelle, you won't like the outcome." I said.

"Are you threatening my mate Bitch!" Rosalie yelled.

"It's a threat and a promise. You can kill me now in front of my best friends and have them hate you forever or you can leave me the hell alone and not look for me at all." I said waiting for someone to make a decision.

"I'm sorry Bella, we didn't want for any of this to happen." Jasper said in his soft southern twang.

"It's not entirely your fault Jasper. I will admit to my part in this in not staying away but the deed is done. Maybe one day we'll see each other again." I said getting into my truck but my girls stopped me.

"You can always call us, we're still your best friends." Jules said.

I drove away and went home to finish packing. Leah was coming over so that we could leave on time for the airport. Charlie came home earlier than usual to spend some time with me before I left.

"I know you said you didn't need anything but I wouldn't be a good parent if I let you go without some money. It's not a lot but it should help you while you're out in the world." He said handing me a check.

I took it and almost fell out of my chair.

"Dad, this is too much. We can't take this. You need this more than I do." I said trying to hand the check back.

"I know you weren't going to be thinking about money and how you and Leah were going to live so I did. Take it Bella, you know you need it and I have plenty to live off of." Charlie said putting the check back into my hand.

Waking up the next morning, Leah and I double check all we had and we hugged Charlie good-bye and made out way to the airport. After many stops because we were unsure of which way to go, we made it to the airport.

"Okay, we're here so where are we going?" Leah asked.

"Mystic Falls, Virginia. It just sounds better than Forks, Washington. I think it will be better than Forks, we might have more fun there Lee." I said as I bought our tickets.

During the plane ride, we decided that we would first find a hotel and then the next day look for a place. I know Leah was nervous and scared but I had to tell her again that if she had stayed, she would be looking at the man she loved with someone who wasn't her.

I was nervous too. I'd never heard of Mystic Falls and I wasn't sure what or who I would meet when the plane landed. I knew I didn't want a repeat of Forks so I was going to go to school, work and go home.

FINALLY, we landed! If I had to smell Farmer Ted for another minute I was not going to be held responsible for my actions. Once inside the airport, we had about another 10 minute wait for our luggage! By now I was read to just lay down on the airport floor and go to sleep. After getting our luggage, we went to rent a car so we could get to Mystic Falls before we both passed out.

Looking at the time, I saw we would make it just as school was starting so I figured that would be the first stop for us. Going to the office, I double checked that I had my transcripts and Leah had hers. It didn't take long and we were on our way to looking for a place to stay.

Mystic Falls looked like Forks in that it was a small town but it was much more busy, and looked like a postcard. After driving around looking for a hotel or motel, we stopped at The Grill to get some lunch.

"I guess the next town over will have a hotel or motel but it might take us longer to get back and forth to school." I said to Leah as our food arrived.

Before she got a chance to say anything, this guy sat down at the table with us. Looking at him, I had to stop myself from drooling. He had sexy black hair that framed a face that made models want to have it, but what really got me were his eyes. They were the clearest, sexiest Ice blue eye I'd ever seen. ~Lord, I think I just fell in love~ I thought as Leah gave this guy the stink eye.
