CHAPTER 10 – Leaving

BPOV

Apparently little Alice saw what I was planning. I couldn't stay in Forks any longer. I had to get away. Rosalie and Jasper just looked at me wondering what I was planning on doing.

"Guys, I'm sorry, but I need to get out of here now," I said. With that we all left the club.

In the car, Rosalie and Jasper kept asking all kinds of questions about what happened back there. "Well, I don't know if you heard Tonya's exchange with Edward." Rosalie and Jasper nodded not wanting to interrupt me. "Well, I obviously didn't smack her, because if I had, I would have completely knocked her head off." I then went into the exact details about what happened in the bathroom.

Rosalie was begging me to go find Tonya so she could tear her limb from limb. Even though Jasper was shaking with anger too, he was still trying to send calming waves through the car. I hadn't told them that I was planning on leaving. I didn't want to upset them even more.

When we got home, Carlisle was sitting in his study going through some of his medical books. You would think he could recite every thing from those books, as much as he studies over them.

I walked in and just sat in front of his desk. "Dad, I have to leave." He made a quick look up at me.

"What happened, my Bella?" he asked softly. He only calls me 'my Bella' when he is very worried about me.

So I went into all of the gory details of the evening. Looking back I knew that singing that stupid song probably ruined whatever chance I had with Edward and the stupid little bitch's performance from after the "bathroom" incident.

I told Carlisle that I was sorry, but I couldn't take it any longer. "I have to get out of here for a while. I don't want to ruin your chances with Esme. If she thinks I have been horrible to her son then she may end up taking it out on you. Plus, I don't know if I can control myself around Tonya. I don't want my actions to come against you in any way, so I have to leave. Please, don't try to stop me."

If I could have cried I would have, but I was sobbing tearless. I hated the thought of disappointing Carlisle any further. "Bella, if you feel that you have to leave, there is nothing I can do to stop you. You can come and go of your own free will. Just please keep in touch. You know we love you. If you need anything all you need to do is ask. Where do you plan on going?"

"I'm not sure yet. I may make a trip to Ireland or Scotland to travel around." I told him.

With that I walked over to Carlisle and gave him a huge hug. I ran out of his study and went to my room. Rosalie and Jasper both were sitting in there on my bed. I pulled out my suitcases. "Bella, you know you don't have to go alone. We could come with you." Jasper said.

Rosalie just scoffed at him. I knew she wanted to stay close to Emmett. They had a great relationship forming. Jasper and Alice also had the beginnings of a great relationship. She was always in such a good mood. I haven't seen Jasper this happy in a long time.

"Guys, you don't want to leave. I don't want you to leave. I will be okay. I just need to get out of here for a while. If I were to stay I don't know what would happen. I don't think I can control myself against that bitch much longer. She is just playing him! And he doesn't even see it! You guys can't leave Carlisle here all alone. What would the town think if all of his "kids" just off and left one day? At least if I'm the only one to leave, then people will just think Carlisle sent me away because I'm the "bad" kid. You guys just have to keep up with the gossip and follow along. Okay? I love you guys, but I just have to go."

Rosalie ran over to me and pulled me into a huge embrace. It wasn't like Rosalie to be all emotional like this. She started sobbing. "Bella, please tell me you will come back. I know I might not always show it, but I truly do love you like a sister."

I just looked at her. I didn't know what to say. She never acted like this. "Rose, of course I'll be back. I just can't take it here anymore. It has nothing to do with you guys."

Jasper came over and joined in on the hug. I said, "Guys come on! You act like I'm leaving for good. I will be back. Don't worry about me. I'm finally getting what I want. I get to go and see more of the world." I smiled at them and gave them both a kiss.

I was going to miss them but I had to get out. I was on my way out the door, when Carlisle grabbed me. He handed me the keys to his car and gave me another hug. "Here, Bella. You can take the Mercedes. I'll just use another one." I almost choked up again on that. Carlisle loved that car!

"Dad, why do I need the car? It's just going to be left in a garage at the airport."

"Well, then you have to make sure you come back to us soon to make sure I get my car back," he said with a small smile. I nodded and just ran to the woods. I had to hunt before I left on my trip.

I ran for a long time, and then I realized that I smelled something so familiar. It was Edward's scent. Did I somehow end up running all the way to his house? I stopped and sniffed again. Alice's scent was very strong too. I walked just to the edge of the woods to look at their back yard. Alice was sitting there on the picnic table in the back, like she was waiting on something, waiting on me.

I walked out of the woods and went to sit beside her. She put her little head on my shoulder. "Bella, I don't want you to leave. You are like the sister that I never had. I'm so sorry that the stupid bitch is ruining everything. But Edward just acts blind as far as she is concerned. I can't understand it. It's like he is under a spell around her. He normally can tell when someone is bullshitting him, but not her." I could tell that Alice was having a tough time with this. "Alice, I'm not leaving for good. I'll be back in a little while. I'm just going to go traveling."

"Yeah, but I can't see where you are going. Why is that?"

"Alice, the reason why you can't see where I'm going is because I don't even know where I'm going yet. Just do me a favor, try to keep Jasper in line. Okay? I'll be back before you guys know it."

"Wait Bella! What about the choir performance?" she asked.

"Well, they are just going to have to find someone to either fill in for me or just not play my songs. I don't know. It's not really my problem," I shrugged.

"Oh, well, if that's the way you see it. I guess I can't stop you. I just wanted to try and convince you to stay." She had such a sad little pout on her face.

"Alice, why don't you sing my songs? I know you can sing them. How many times have we been sitting in the car singing our heads off? You can do it. I really don't want them to have that stupid Jessica girl singing my songs. That would be the worst ever. You should get Rosalie to help you "convince" the choir director to let you sing my songs. It would mean a lot to me. There are two songs in particular that no one knows about, that I want to be sung at this thing. More importantly, I want Edward to hear them. The music that goes with these songs is going to be made by Jasper for me with the "Music Maker" so Edward hasn't even heard them. Do you think you could do it? For me? Please!?"

Alice squirmed a little bit, and then finally said yes. I hate that I can't be there for the performance, but it would probably be better for everyone involved if I wasn't. I carried the songs in my pockets always, just in case I decided to make changes to them or if I wanted to write a new one. So I handed Alice my songs and gave her a hug.

I got up from our seat and walked slowly back to the woods, when I felt like I was being stared at. I turned around and looked at the house. I saw Edward in an upstairs window looking down on me. I gave him a small wave and walked back into the woods.

EPOV

What the hell was that about? Why is Bella walking in the woods alone at night? She had to have hiked about 10 miles just to get to our house from her house. There was definitely a lot I didn't know about this girl.

When Alice came back inside I asked her, "Alice, what was Bella doing outside?"

"Well, Edward if you must know she was coming to tell me bye." Alice said with a sniffle.

"Bye? What you do mean by that?" I was really confused.

"Bella is leaving Forks. Apparently she took what you told her at the club seriously. Why are you so dense Edward? Can't you tell that you really hurt her feelings?" Alice was getting really upset.

"Why are you taking her side? I thought you liked Tonya. Did Tonya deserve to be slapped around tonight?" I asked her.

"Oh MY GOD Edward!!!! You really are dense. Bella definitely did not slap Tonya. She staged that whole thing. If you can't figure this shit out on your own, then you really do need help. Tonya is after only one thing from you and you know it. What do you think she is going to do when she gets what she wants? Are you just going to sit here and let it happen? Let her treat you like shit?" Alice was practically screaming now.

"Alice you have no idea what you're talking about. Tonya really isn't that bad." I told her.

"Bullshit Edward. If you would pull your head out of your ass for one damn minute you might see what everyone else sees. Since you won't believe the clairvoyant, just ask Emmett. He will tell you. EMMETT!!!"

Emmett came running upstairs. "You rang, Master?" he said in his best Igor voice.

Alice then filled him in on our whole conversation. "Man, Bella's leaving? That just sucks. I really liked her." He grabbed Alice into a bear hug since she was crying. "Dude, why do you have fuck up everything?" He asked me angrily.

I just looked at him. Great now I had the big guy pissed at me. Alice said to Emmett, "Tell Mr. Stupid what Tonya is after."

"Oh that's easy. Sex. Dude, you know that," he said with a 'duh' look on his face.

"That's not all that she is about Emmett. She is better than that." I told him exasperatedly.

"Dude no she's not. That is all she wants. You can see that little gleam in her eye. It's actually kind of creepy. You know that I hit that shit last year and she had that gleam in her eye when she looked at me all the time. Now it's there for you. That's all she wants. There is nothing substantial about that girl. Just sex and lies. You really think that Bella hit her? I bet Bella would have given her a black eye instead of a pussy slap. Bella definitely isn't a pussy… well she may have one, but her actions are way off from being pussy," Emmett snickered.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did my family not believe that I could see what Tonya was really about? She is definitely not just after sex. Was she?

EN: Poor naive Edward. Please leave a review. They make Edward super excited. lol Til next time!!
