I didn't notice anything around me. Nothing mattered.
My life, my family,
the ones I loved, were all gone.
Renee walked into my room.
"Bella, I've got something to say."
Oh yeah. Her and Phil
were married now. Have been for…eleven months now.
That's about how long they've been gone. So it's…August.
"What?" I asked
blankly.
"Where's the life in you?" she asked. "What
happened to Bella?"
"That half of her is only God knows
where," I mumbled.
She sighed. "Bella, they moved four
months ago. You need to get over it."
"I can't," I
whispered.
"Well, you have two options," she said. "One,
you can stay living with me and Phil, constantly having to move. Or,
you can go live with your father."
I looked up. "I'll go
live with Charlie."
Ooh. So fun. All my memories will be
gone.
No! I couldn't forget them!
I stood up and walked
to my closet.
"I'll let him know," she said sadly. "He'll
be happy."
"Mom, I can't move all the time," I said
firmly. "And besides. I don't even remember what Charlie looks
like."
She sighed. "Fine. Get packed. You can leave first
thing in the morning."
I rolled my eyes. "Fine."
Sorry Kaytlen, Bradley, Edward. I have to.
Either way, I was
leaving.
What if Edward comes looking for me?
Uh oh.
I grabbed a piece of paper.
Dear Edward,
Hey. It's me.
Bella. Look, I had no choice. I mean I did, but either way, I
would've moved.
What I'm saying is, if you get this, I'm
now living in Forks, Washington with Charlie. If you were going to
come look for me, then that's where I am.
I'm sorry for any trouble this may cause you.
I love you.
Love,
Bella
P.S. I totally understand if you changed your mind about me. I still love you though.
I put that in a water bottle I had on my desk and stuck that in a tree.
Renee can just have
all my furniture. I don't care.
I walked back to my closet
and grabbed my first suitcase.
This was going to be hell.
I would be back to square one.
