I would like to make clean now, that I do NOT own Twilight, or any of it's characters. Stephenie Meyer does. I just like to pretend that Bella chose Jacob.

CHAPTER TWO: SAYING GOOD-BYE

"Dad, I have to go. I love you."

"Be strong. I love you, and I'll support what ever choice you make. Call me as soon as you can."

"I promise. Bye." I hung up with Charlie, and forced myself to turn around.

"Your leaving me?" Edward screamed.

His anger really scared me. I have never seen him so angry before. "Yes I have too."

"WHY?"

"Because I don't love you like I used to. I love you Edward, but I'm not in love with you anymore. I can't pretend like I belong in this family." I confessed.

"You're the one that wanted this Bella! You wanted me to take you to Alaska! You wanted me to change you against my judgment. You don't have to change for me Bella. If that is what this is about, you don't have to do it. I love you just as you are!" He fell to his knees in the middle of our bedroom. "Just please don't leave me. I don't know how I'll live out my eternal life without you."

"Edward, I only have one life to live, and I can't do it like this. I can't do it. I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to find out like this." I said, tears threatening to spill out of my eyes.

"But I love you Bella."

"I know you do. That's why you have to let me go. Please Edward. Let me go."

"I don't know how to do that Bella. I don't know how I can possibly let you go." He cried out.

"After tonight Edward. You'll never see me again. You'll never hear from me, It'll be like I never existed at all." She used the same words he used on her once upon a time.

"Bella." He whispered. "Don't do this."

"I have to." With that, I grabbed my suitcase and started packing my clothes. I was fully packed within 10 minutes, only taking what I needed to get by. Before I left him in there bedroom, I turned around. Looking at him I said, " Don't follow me. It wont get you anywhere. Just let me leave this life. Let me live the life I was meant to. Good-bye Edward Cullen." With that I picked up what was left of my breaking resolve, and

walked out. I got into my SUV and drove away. With every mile I drove, the easier I could breath. I decided to call Charlie.

"Bell's!" He sounded relieved.

"Hey, Dad. I'm on my way to the Airport right now."

"How bad was it?" He asked, concern laced in his voice.

"Bad. He begged me not to leave, and I almost didn't. It was so hard to keep my head straight. He almost had me."

"Just focus on what you really want Bella. Don't let them keep you there if it isn't what you want."

"I won't Dad. I'll be there before you know it. I'll let you know when I'll be landing in Port Angeles. Can you came get me?"

"I absolutely will be there. Stay safe Bell's keep me updated."

"I will, I love you."

"I love you too."

I pulled into the Airport and got my bags out of the car. I was almost there. Almost home free. I could do this. Oh, was I wrong. It wasn't going to be as cut and dry as I thought.

I walked up to the counter and bought my ticket for Port Angeles, and when I turned around there they were. Alice walked up to me and said, "I seen your decision while we were hunting. When Edward went home, we came here. We wanted to say goodbye." She started to cry.

"Alice, please don't." I pleaded.

"I'm sorry, I'm just going to miss you so much Bella. You're my sister."

"I know, but I have to do this for me. You all understand that I have to do this right?" I asked, scanning the group.

Carlisle stepped forward. "We completely understand Bella, your happiness is very important to us. If this is what you want, than this is what you shall have."

"Thank you Carlisle, I will miss you so much." With that all of the Cullen's came and said there good-byes. We sat together for about a half hour and my plane was called. I stood up and grabbed my bag. I was ready. "You have been my family for four years, and I will never forget you, or regret any of you. I love you all so much and will carry you in my heart until the day I die." With that said, I walked down the terminal. Saying good-bye to my life with the Cullen's.
