As I pulled up to my house, I saw an unfamiliar car sitting in my usual parking spot and the rental U-Haul we got for my things. We weren't expecting anybody- at least I didn't think so. I pulled off to the side of the road in front of the house and got out to inspect the car. It was a red Ford Mustang. I knew this, because Jacob practically made me sit down and learn everything there is to know about cars. And, because I had wanted one of these for years. I took one last glance at it, and walked up the steps into the house.

"Uh, dad? You around?" I called out. I couldn't hear him talking to anybody, so I didn't know what to think now.

"Yeah Bells?" He said as he came from the kitchen, beer in hand.

"Um… whose car?" I pointed behind me to the door.

A huge smile lit up Charlie's face and he practically dragged me out of the front door to said car. I looked at him as if he'd gone crazy. I mean, he could have…

I was dragged out of my musings by Charlie, who had opened the door to the car and pushed me in.

"What the hell dad?" I practically shouted.

"Congrats Bells! I got this for you as a going away gift. That truck of yours would never make it down to Texas! I don't want to be worrying about my baby girl getting around down there," he practically whispered the end. I could see the tears forming in his eyes. My dad didn't show emotion, so for him to almost be crying; it was big. I jumped out of the car and hugged him tight.

"Dad, don't cry. I'll start crying if you do. Thank you so much for the car, I love it! And, of course I love you daddy," I whispered to him. I let go of him and backed up a little and smiled.

"Kiddo, I'm just gonna miss you when I have to come back home. These past few years have been the best of my life. I'm glad you moved in with me," he wrapped me in a hug again and then smiled. "Well, how about we finish getting your stuff out to your new car that you want with you, and then the rest in the U-Haul?"

"Yeah, sounds great. Let's go," I told him as I walked toward the house again, taking another glance at my new baby. I mentally rolled my eyes. I'm sure Jacob would be proud of me.

My dad and I had just finished loading everything into my car and the U-Haul and were getting ready to leave. As I sat in the driver seat, I wondered what he was going to do with my truck.

"Uh, dad? What are you going to do with the truck?" I called out to him. He was locking up the front door.

He made his way over to me and smiled. "Well, I planned on keeping it for myself. I'd like to have some kind of vehicle to drive around that doesn't have flashing lights on it," he joked. I laughed along with him and shook my head.

"Awesome! It runs like a trooper," I grinned up at him. He just rolled his eyes and laughed at me. Psht, I thought. It does! It's lasted me this long. Of course, Jake has had to replace many things on it. So what!

I was brought out of my musings by Charlie calling my name. "Bells? You ready?" he asked, a slight look of concern on his face. I must have been really out of it. Oops.

"Yeah dad, let's go. I'll follow behind you," I told him as I started up my baby. The purr of the engine was smooth. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I must have been grinning like an idiot because Charlie laughed at me as he patted the soft hood and walked to the U-Haul. He pulled off the side of the road and I followed, taking one last glance at the house. I would miss it here.

After we had been driving for many hours, Charlie called me on my cell to ask if I wanted to stop for the night. Since I was very tired and hungry, I readily agreed. I needed gas soon anyways. We were stopping in Denver, Colorado for the night. I followed my dad around until he found what looked like an okay motel. Pulling in the parking lot behind him, I shut the car off and waited. He ran inside and was in there for a few minutes. I decided to check my texts since it said I had a few in the corner of the screen.

The first couple were from Jake and Paul. Paul and I had become close over the past couple of years, especially since I always was with Jake. At first, we hated each other. He was an asshole and I just didn't want to be around anybody. After a few weeks though, we started to tolerate each other. Since then, he's been like my older brother.

Hey Bells I just wanted to check on u. Call me when u get a chance- Jake

I smiled and continued on.

Belly, text me when you stop somewhere or call. I'd like to know if my little sis is O.K. – Pauly

He'd taken to calling me Belly for some unknown reason. To get him back for the childish nickname, I started calling him Pauly. I laughed when I saw he had said it.

The last one was from Angela. She was the only person besides Mike who had actually cared enough to deal with my depression after Assward left. I had told her almost everything, besides the obvious fact that the Cullen's were vampires. We had spent many nights hanging out and gossiping like old women. I was going to miss her.

Isabella Marie! I cannot believe you didn't call me today before you left! You better call me ASAP! I miss you already bitch. –Ang

Considering her father was a Reverend didn't make her stay the shy, Christian girl everybody knew in high school. I was glad she didn't. I think I was a bad influence on her. I noticed Charlie was walking toward my car and I set my phone aside.

"Well, let's head inside. I got us two rooms. I'll see what we can do for food after I change, and I'm sure you want to rest for a little bit. How's that sound?" he asked. I readily agreed and grabbed my phone and my bag that had some clothes and toiletries in it. After locking up my car, Charlie handed me a key to my room and I set off.

I decided to send a quick text to Paul, letting him know I was in Denver stopping for the night.

Hey Pauly. Dad and I just got to Denver. Stopping for the nite. I'll txt u tomorrow when we get to Hous.- Belly

I hit send and then scrolled through my recent called and hit send on Jake's number. It rang once and then Jake's voice came through.

"BELLS!" he shouted in my ear. I pulled the phone away and cringed.

"Damn Jacob! Human here! I can hear you just fine!" I said back. Stupid wolves, I thought.

He laughed, and then spoke. "Well I miss you woman! So, where are you? Stopped for the night?"

"Yeah, dad and I are in Denver. I just wanted to check in with you before I showered and go to get food."

"Oh, sweet. Well, Leah said to tell you hi, she's out patrolling right now with Paul and Jared," he told me.

"Aw tell Leahboo I miss her. And the others. I've gotta get going though, I feel all gross from driving all day."

"Alright Bells, let me know when you get to Texas. Drive safe," he laughed at me. Psh.

"Oh, I will. I'm sure my new baby can handle me," I snickered. He gasped and then proceeded to demand I tell him what I meant.

"Well, seems Charlie was busy today. While I was out this morning, he bought me a 2008 Ford Mustang convertible. Cherry red. I almost pissed myself when he said it was mine," I giggled.

"Damn! I think I might jizz myself if I ever see that thing! Well, send me a picture of it when it's daylight. I need to see it shine." You could tell he was in awe.

"Alright Jakey, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Don't forget to tell everybody I said hello!" Even if he did, they'd see it later in his mind.

"Sure, sure. Be safe Bells, love ya," he said as he hung up.

I set my phone down and went to the bathroom, grabbing my bag along the way. I needed a hot shower. The hot water felt amazing, but it was short lived. I heard somebody knocking on my door. It was probably my father. I grabbed my towel and ran out to the main room and swung the door open. I was correct in my assumption. Charlies' face was priceless.

"Uh yeah I'm gonna head down to Wendy's. It's down the road. Want anything?" he asked me.

"Sure, um just get me a burger, small fries and a soda," I replied. He nodded and I yelled out a thank you, and then headed back to the shower after locking the door.

After finally finishing my shower, I toweled off and put on my night clothing. I went back out to the room and lay on the bed and decided to call Angela. It took a couple of rings until she picked up.

"Well, well, well… It's Bella Swan calling me! Why didn't you do that before you left?" She all but yelled into the phone. I cringed. Oopsie.

"Sorry, I know it was shitty. I just had to take care of some unfinished shit," I explained. She had already known of my plans, but not if I would go through with them.

"Ah, yes. Those plans. Well, how did it go?"

I sighed, and told her of the events that occurred, minus what Alice had left me. Just some minor points in the letter. To say that Angela was pissed, would be an understatement.

"You mean to tell me, that little pixie bitch from Hell, told you that Edward left because he loves you?" She screeched into my ear.

"Yeah, well… I guess so. I don't care though, I'm starting my new life over. Fuck them. Speaking of, Charlie got me a new car. It's so bad ass man, you'll have to come visit and see," I told her. There was a knock on the door, knowing it was my dad I told Ang to hang on.

I opened the door to see Charlie standing there with a couple bags with the Wendy's label on them and him looking as if he were out of breath.

"Uh, dad? Why do you look like you just ran a mile after chain smoking?" I laughed out.

He rolled his eyes and walked into my room and set the bag that I assume is mine on the little table. "Well, I didn't feel like taking that damn trailer just to get some food, so I walked. Now, if I have a heart attack after I get back to my room, I'll pound on the wall." I scoffed and rolled my eyes. What an ass!

"Sure dad, whatever you say! Why don't we just eat in here and chat?" I asked him. Sure, it wasn't one of my dinners I made for him but it would do.

"Sure, don't leave Angela hangin' on the line though," he laughed as he sat down.

"Shit!," I ran over to my phone that was laying on the bed and told her I'd call her back in a little bit. We said goodbye and I went back over to the table. It looked as if my dad was halfway through his meal before I had even gotten to mine.

"Jesus dad! Did you taste it?" I asked.

He scoffed and nodded, taking another bite. After we were done eating, I said goodnight and told him to I'd be up by 7 AM to get gas and be on the road. He agreed.

After calling Angela and talking for a few more minutes, I knew I needed to get to sleep. We hung up, with me promising to let her know when I got to my new place. After putting my phone on the charger and setting my alarm, I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow.
