"What?" I asked, shocked.
"I said, do you still want to be a vampire?" Alice asked.
"Of course I do! Would you really do that?" I couldn't believe it. I had wanted this for so long! Maybe if I were strong and beautiful, he would want me back.
"I have thought about this a lot, and I think that you are ready. Heck, I thought you were ready a long time ago. Edward (I cringed slightly at his name.) needs to get over and see that he can't go on like this anymore. He needs you, and you need him. So I am going to do you both a favor and just change you myself," she shrugged, as if this were an everyday occurrence. "If you still want me to do it, then we will wait a few days to let you say goodbye to everyone. Then we will go to our old house and I'll change you."
"Oh, thank you, Alice! I'll get ready and meet you at your house tomorrow, OK?" I pulled her into yet another hug. (What is up with me? I'm not usually like this.) I was so exited! I was going to be a vampire. I was going to be fast, strong, beautiful, and lots of other things, too. Then I would find him, and hopefully I would be good enough for him.
"OK, are you sure you want to do it so soon?" she asked.
"Oh, yes! I have never been more ready in my life!" This was a total lie, of course. I had no idea how I was going to say goodbye to everyone. I thought of going home to Charlie, and shuddered. I hoped that Alice wouldn't notice.
"All right, then. I'll see you tomorrow. Come by whenever you're ready," she said. And then, in a flash, she was gone. I started home and thought of what I could say. Maybe I would have to fake my death, or just "disappear." But, no, that would be too hard on Charlie. I would have to tell him that I was moving out. I was old enough, I would just have to tell him that I wanted to go back home. Yes, that's what I would tell him. I took a deep breath and opened the front door.
"Dad?" I called. "I'm home!"
"Hi, Bells. How was your day?" He said, looking up from the TV.
"Good, I kind of have to talk to you about something." I said. Suddenly I felt nervous. How would he react?
"What is it, Bella?" He looked concerned, and muted the TV.
"I want to move back with mom, and finish high school there. I can't stand to be in this town anymore." I suddenly had an inspiration. "Everything here reminds me of him," He would know who I was talking about. "and I just can't take it anymore. I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Please don't get mad at me. This is the only way that I can be happy." I finished and looked at his face. He looked so hurt, but not angry.
"Of course, Bella. You know that I want you to be happy. If this is the only way then I can't make you stay," I could tell that he was hurt, but I was happy. Not about seeing him hurt, but that he was letting me go without a fight. I nodded and stepped toward him. I pulled him into a hug (again, what is with me and hugging today?).
"Thank you so much, Dad. I love you." I said.
"I love you, too, Bella." I could tell he was uncomfortable, so was I. Neither of us liked to share our feelings like this. I pulled away and started for the stairs. I walked up to my room and started to pack. I would go to see Alice in the morning, and then I would start my new life.
