Disclaimer: My migraine owns me and I don't own Twilight or New Moon for that matter. It just so happens Stephenie Meyer the great does. I'm also not cool enough to own Volvos, Belle and Sebastian, or Family Force 5. (Don't worry when I create my time machine I will find a way!!!)
A/n: Well I have a terrible migraine so I must love you guys to some extent. Okay I know you want fluff but in the beginning there's not going to be any fluff, but don't worry it will be a happy ending and there WILL be fluff. Oh and thanks for all the tips trying hard to follow them. Anyways long story short here's chapter three.
My dream was actually a nightmare. I couldn't remember much about it except jumping off a cliff. I hated the way I felt when I was falling. Mental note to self: don't go cliff diving ever.
First thing I did was call the school to tell them I was sick, thanking god Charlie left for work early. Then I got my priorities straight. I would have to finish packing, get ready, and then leave my notes.
Packing was pretty easy. I got most of my clothes, but left some so it did look like I was coming back. I had to take all of my books and CD's because I would be bored to death without them.
Once I had done all the grunt work of getting my luggage in the car I went to take a shower and get dressed.
The warm water of the shower relaxed me, but not enough to get all of the butterflies out of my stomach. It still scared me that I was actually doing this. I knew I would have to make sure he was leaving another way.
As I was getting dressed into some warm clothes I thought about it. I knew I shouldn't go to his house, because that could lead to trouble if they actually were there. I remembered my conversation with Carlisle, where he said he never felt compelled to take an extended break from working. So I called the hospital.
It rang three times before a lady answered the phone.
"Hello, Forks hospital, how may I help you?"
"Um, hi I'd like to talk to Dr. Cullen; it's kind of a family emergency." After all, his son was going insane, and so were the rest of them if they were actually going along with his plan.
"Oh, I'm sorry Dr. Cullen got a job offer and moved to L.A." L.A. my ass; while they could all be movie stars the sun would probably make them more famous.
"Thanks anyways, I'll try and get a hold of him some other way bye."
I hung up before she could reciprocate the farewell. It looked like I was right they all had either left already or were going to go soon. Thank god I was smart enough to recognize that kiss.
I knew I would have to hurry because Edward would get suspicious that I wasn't in school today. I also knew I should leave a note for him too. What I wanted to say I couldn't really figure out how to put in words so I just said "Screw it", and tried my best
Edward,
You are a total and complete imbecile if you thought I would take this (you leaving) sitting down. You would also be idiotic if you thought I would let you guys leave because of me. You frustrate the hell out of me, but I still love you though. Since I turned the tables and left you, I think you should take some time and reflect about how I would feel if you left me. Oh tell everyone goodbye for me, and tell them I love them all. Don't forget to reflect and once you're done come find me that is if you want. I love you, always and forever. Never forget that.
Love,
Bella
I couldn't believe how bad I was at saying goodbye. The note looked so stupid to me but I didn't really have time. So I got some food, checked that I had all of my stuff, left the note and got into my car.
Once I was in my car I had to take another minute before I could put the key in the ignition and started it up.
I backed out of the driveway then headed for the high school. It was a pretty silent drive to parking lot.
When I got there it was easy to spot the silver Volvo that I loved. I pulled up to his car went up to the driver's door and opened it up.
It smelled like Edward. I inhaled deeply; after all I didn't know when I'd see him again. After a minute of this I got out of the car, put the note in his CD compartment (I didn't want him to find it too fast), inhaled one last time, and got into my truck.
I steered out of the parking lot and started driving east; it was all I could do. I felt horrible and numb. I wished the feeling would go away but it didn't, it just got worse. I was trying my hardest to hold back tears, but it was too hard, so I let them flow freely.
The silence (except for the rumble of the truck) seemed to be mocking me. Telling me I was all alone, and it all my fault. It was too hard to bear, so I turned on my new stereo. Now I was definitely glad for the gifts, they made me feel less lonely.
The first song that came on the radio was Funny Little Frog by Belle and Sebastian. I had to laugh at that; Edward was the funny little frog in my throat. This song kind of reminded me of my obsession with him. Unfortunately the song was a little too lovey dovey for right now. It made me want to make a sharp U-turn and run straight into his cold, comforting arms. I needed to find something a little different if I was going to last one day on the road. I had to dig around in my bag keeping one hand on wheel and one eye on the road. I finally found a good enough CD, (thank the gods for Family Force 5) so I popped it in.
I don't how long I was on the road for before I finally noticed the time, and the moon, but I decided to find some place to stop for the night.
After diving for about 20 more minutes I found a hidden kind of place to park. It was kind of squished in the truck, but I didn't want to put anything outside just in case it got stolen and because, even though I was over the shadow line of the mountains, it was raining and hard.
I started to unwrap a sandwich I had made earlier, and as I did so, I recapped on my day, still in disbelief of what I had done. This would be the second time I was running away within in a year, so unlike me. It was funny if you really thought about it. The reasons for leaving were so different, yet in some ways exactly the same. They both started with a vampire attack and a kiss from Edward. I just hoped they both didn't end the same way.
While I was thinking about James and the sudden trip to Phoenix, I realized I would have to call Renee tomorrow, the thought made me shudder; I could already hear her frantic pleading to go back to Charlie's. I felt bad that I was leaving like this after what happened last spring.
I couldn't seem to get my head clear. A million different thoughts were running through my head. But the most prominent was, 'what would Edward think, and what would he do?' I hoped he wouldn't hate me, and I hoped he would follow the instructions in the note.
I finally figured out how to clear my thoughts, all I had to do was hum my lullaby. I don't know when I fell asleep all I remember was the sound of the rain and me; groggily humming the sweet song I loved the most.
Well I hope you guys liked it this was a long one for me (sad I know). I'm thinking I might have to write a chapter in Edward's POV next. If you want me to (or don't no hard feelings) just say so. Hey guess what! I got some caffeine back! Oh yah sausage! I like caffeine it makes me tingle in my giblets. Sorry about not being as big a freak about my reviews, it's the migraine. Don't worry I will Do a really long dedication for each and every one of you.
p.s. I love you guys you put a smile on my face, especially when I have a bad day!! So thanks keep on keeping on and fly your freak flags.
