I've forgotten something important in the last chapters. I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT! If I did I would not be on fan fiction. I would be writing another on of the greatest stories ever…

Previously on Getting Away:

I boarded my plan when it was called. As we took off, I looked out the window at Forks, Washington. Finally, I thought, I am getting away.

I lay back in the seat and closed my eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

I woke up shortly before the plane landed. I was nervous. Charlie and Jacob kept me in the house all the time. They only let me out to go to school and when I needed to go shopping for groceries.

As I got off the plane, I took a look around and smiled. The saying "free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty I'm free at last" came to mind.

New Hampshire. It looked so different from Forks. More like a city than a town.

I decided I needed a cell phone and a car. I asked one of the people at the airport where I could find a place where I could buy or rent cars nearby. Luckily there was one just half a mile from here. She gave me directions and I walked the way she told me.

The car place was called Auto Palace. It was a small brick building with cars surrounding it. Around the cars was a fence. The inside of the building felt too cramped for my liking. There was a desk a few feet from the door and a door to an office behind the desk. A few chairs sat next to the door. At the desk was a girl who looked about my age. Her name tag read Valerie.

I asked her who I should speak to about buying or renting a car. She told me to fill out some papers and wait a minute.

I sat in one of the chairs and filled out the papers. Most of it was about insurance. I had good insurance because Charlie wanted to make sure that he could pay for me to go to the doctors if he was in a rage and hurt me to bad to hide. The insurance covers everything. (A/N I don't know anything about buying cars or insurance. I am just 15 years old.)

I gave the papers back to Valerie. I sat back down. After five minutes of sitting there in awkward silence, Valerie started talking to me.

"Hey Isabella." she said. "I'm Valerie. But I just go by Val. I am an intern here. You look like you're new around here. Where are you from?"

"Umm hi. I'm from a small town in Washington called Forks. Oh and I go by Bella."

"Forks, Washington? I've never herd of it."

"Most people haven't."

"So what brings you all the way across the U.S to New Hampshire?" she asked.

I couldn't say to get away from my abusers so I used school at an excuse.

"I was accepted into Dartmouth University."

"OMG that is amazing. I go there too. I just finished my freshman year there. Maybe we would see each other around." she exclaimed.

I didn't have time to answer because a man came out of the office and called my name. I was suddenly very nervous again. THEY ruined my trust for men. I took a much needed deep breath and walk up to him to introduce my self.

"Hi. I am Isabella Swan." I held my hand up to him, glad it wasn't noticeably shaking.

"Hi Miss Swan. I am Aro Voultri. I own this shop and would like to help you pick your perfect car. Please join me in my office." he said.

Aro held the door open for me and I hesitantly stepped in. He walked in behind be and quietly shut the door. He walked behind his desk and sat down in his chair while I stood awkwardly by the door.

"Please, have a seat." he offered motioning to the two chairs in front of his desk.

"Now your credit looks really good and you have good insurance. But I would like to know what it is that you're looking for in a car."

"I just want something small that I can drive to work, school, and home. I want it to look good. Most of the cars I've seen here look good and rather not draw attention to myself" I said. He typed something into his computer. He turned the screen around for me to see it.

"How is this car?" he asked. I looked at it. It was a classic. I loved it.

"It's perfect." I said. "How much."

"The price has gone down on it because it is 3 years old. So it will only be 2,000 dollars." ha said.

I gave him the cash and we got ready to walk out side to get the car. But before we could, two boys busted into the office. One looked older than the other. The older one was huge. He had dark hair and mussels bigger than me. But despite his big size, he had a friendly face and kind eyes. They younger one looked to be about my age. He had bronze colored hair that looked really messy, but it suited him. He wasn't as big as the other boy but I could tell he was very much in shape.

They both glanced at me, the younger one looking a little bit longer.

"Isabella," Aro said, "Please excuse my rude nephews. Boys this is Isabella Swan. Isabella, these are my nephews Edward and Emmett."

"Hi" I waved shyly.

"Hey Isabella, I'm Emmett." he made a face. "I'm sorry but is it ok if I call you Bella? I had a bad experience with a girl named Isabella."

"It's ok. I actually prefer Bella."

"Well Bella, I am Emmett and this is my baby brother Edward."

"Emmett," Edward said, "I'm just 7 months younger than you."

"Still younger!" I smiled at their brotherly bickering. I used to want brothers and sisters. But since what happened, I thought it was better that I didn't, so they wouldn't have to go through what I did.

"Excuse me Bella," Edward said, "I apologize for this barbarian's behavior. I am Edward Cullen."

"Nice to meet you Edward. You to Emmett." I said quietly.

"Now boys," Aro said, "is this important? Or can it wait until I get done showing Bella her car?"

"It can wait." Edward said.

"Very well." Aro said. "I will be back shortly."

"No. don't worry about us. We'll just relax in your office." Emmett laughed.

Aro smiled at his nephews and motioned for me to follow him. We walked out to the cars. He led me to the car I saw on the laptop. It was in perfect condition with the original paint job. It was all black and looked really good. My favorite part was that it had tented windows. I hadn't had privacy in a long time so that was a welcome factor. I loved it and couldn't wait to get behind the wheel. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was truly happy.

I turned to Aro to thank him.

"Thank you mister Voultori. I love it."

"Don't thank me." he said. "I like giving people the perfect car."

I turned to leave before I remembered that I didn't know how to get to a phone store or Dartmouth is at.

"Oh, Mr. voultori-"

"Please call me Aro. Mr. Voultori is my father and, frankly, he's a deadbeat bastard. Please excuse my language."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you know where I could find a phone store and then Dartmouth?"

"First of all, don't apologize for something like that." I got ready to apologize again but a look from him stopped me. "And you can come inside and map quest it. I know where the phone company is, there is one 5 streets down from here. Though I have no idea where Dartmouth is."

"Ok." I said. "Thank you."

I followed him back into the building and went into his office with him. When I got in, Emmett smiled at me. "Bella!" he bellowed out, "Your back!" at the sound of my name Edward snapped his head up and gave me a crooked smile. I couldn't help but smile back.

"Yeah," I said, "I need to get on map quest and find Dartmouth." I said. I couldn't help but be comfortable around them. Something about their presence made me feel safe. I think it was because of Emmett's big size.

"You don't have to do that." Edward said. "Emmett and I go to Dartmouth. We just have to ask my Uncle Aro for something really quick and then we are headed back. You can just follow behind us."

"You don't have to do that." I said. "Besides, I have to stop at the phone place first."

"It's not a problem, we have nothing but time on our hands. School doesn't start for another month and we are already set in our dorms."

"Ok thank." I said. "I'll wait outside."

They smiled at me and I walked out. I walked to my car and just took it all in. a knock on my window took me away from worshipping my car. It was Emmett so I rolled my window down.

"Nice ride." He said. "We are about to roll out."

I nodded and he walked away. I watched as they pulled out. I follow behind them to the phone store. I went in and bought a blackberry curve from AT&T. I put it under the name Bella Doyer, using my Mom's last name. I didn't want Charlie to find me. I know he has connections.

After buying my phone, I followed Emmett and Edward to Dartmouth.

When we got there I was amazed. It was huge. I knew it was going to be big, just not this big. I asked them where I could find the administrations building

"I'll take you there." Edward offered. Emmett said he couldn't go because he had to go meet his girlfriend. So Edward and I set off to go to the administrations building.
