"Hey Bells, you all set?" Charlie calls from outside as he threw the last box into the moving van. They'll be driving ahead so everything will be ready when we arrive.
"Yeah. We've got everything." I sigh as I glance around my room. There are so many memories in this room. Both good and bad. I can't wait till I get a room that won't make my stomach turn. A room where I can just relax and not attacked by memories of him.
He broke me. He broke my spirit and walked all over me. I have to take control of my life again. This is why I am so excited about the move. For change. I've decided to reinvent myself. I'll be someone different. Nothing like He made me.
Moving day is finally here. We're all packed up and ready to go. Ready to leave Forks behind.
"Bells?"
As I went out the door I took one last look at my room and closed the door. Charlie was already in his car. I got in my old truck and turned the engine on. We were headed over to La Push first. We had to say goodbye to Billy and Jake, and also, I was leaving my truck there with them. There was no way this truck was making it across the country. I loved it, but I had to let go of it.
When we pulled into the reservation, Jake and Billy were waiting for us outside their house. I parked the truck and opened the door. Just as I was going to climb out Jake took me into his arms and gave me a tight hug.
"I'm gonna miss you, Hun," He said.
"I won't be gone forever Jake, I will be back," I told him, even though I never wanted to return to this place. "Now, could you please put me down…. I can't breathe".
He chuckled and did as I said. Charlie said his goodbyes to Billy and I handed Jake the keys to the truck.
"Take care of it. Promise me." I told him.
"I'll try, although I can't promise it'll still be standing here when you come back." He said.
"Respect the truck, Jake, respect it," I told him laughing.
"Bye Bells," Jake said.
"See ya later Jake. You'll come to visit right?"
"Of course! Once things have settled around here, and we've finished tying that loose end we have running around, I'll come and visit you. I promise." He told me, looking at me with that you know what I'm talking about look.
"Tell the guys I came over to say goodbye. Give them my love" I said as I hugged him one last time. I got into Charlie's car, and Jake held the door open.
"Will do. Now, stay out of trouble will ya?" He said leaning on the door.
"I'll try," I said. He closed the door and we drove away.
I glanced out the window when we pulled out of La Push, and through the trees, I could see a pack of wolves running alongside our car. I gave them a little wave and a small nod, hoping Charlie wouldn't notice.
The trip to Virginia was going to be long. Charlie had planned a couple of stops along the way. Saying this would be a father-daughter trip, like the ones we took when I was little. We would get there in two weeks.
Mystic Falls, Virginia. That's where we were moving. I hope there's nothing mystic about that town. I don't think I could handle any more paranormal creatures. And knowing me, Danger Magnet Bella, I wouldn't be surprised if I attracted any.
I sigh plopping back against the seat. Goodbye Forks.
