God is great, Beer is good, and Boyfriends are sleezy.

"Nothing hurts more than realizing he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him..."- Unknown

It was going to be hard leaving forks. I had lived here most of my life and just couldn't imagine being away from it. I was going to miss living here. All my friends were here, my boyfriend was here, my whole life was here. This sucked... bad.

But my dad Charlie got remarried and I owed it to him to spend some time with his new wife. Her name is Alyssa. She's pretty, very smart and loved my dad a lot. I really couldn't hate her much because she made Charlie happy and could cook for him. At least he was in good hands.

"All right Bells, do you have everything you need," Charlie asked. Even though I was leaving tomorrow, Charlie was being his usual paranoid self.

"Yeah dad. Everything is set," I answered.

"I mean it. You have your phone, money, clothes… everything is packed."

"Yes dad."

Tomorrow I was leaving for Jacksonville, Florida to stay with my mom. I hadn't seen her in almost a year and I missed her like crazy. She was also remarried. To a guy named Phil. I liked Phil the way I like Alyssa, he was smart, funny and really cared about my mom. So I had nothing to worry about with her either.

"So what's for dinner," I asked.

"Well I was thinking we could do a cook out. Since you are leaving tomorrow I thought we could do a little going away party. Ya know… like the old days," Charlie replied.

"Okay. Yeah that would be cool."

Grrrr. How I dreaded parties. Especially the whole socialization, dancing part of them. They just weren't my style. I mean, you have the girls who like to shop and gossip all the time and then you have the girls who are quiet and try to blend in with the others. I fall into the last category.

I mean I have friends; it's just that I don't always like to be with them twenty four seven. To me that just gets annoying. And gossip... thats just rediculous in my opinion.

"You could invite Mike if you would like," Charlie said.

Mike. That was another thing I was going to miss about Forks. My boyfriend of a year and a half Mike Newton.

When I first moved to Forks, my motto was to stay under the radar and focus on my studies. That didn't go very well. It was like the school was a circus and I was the act everyone had been waiting for. It was terrible. Being the new girl on the block and the center of attention just made me want to curl in a corner and hide. Period.

Towards the end of that school year something in me changed though. I saw Mike as a completely new person. He wasn't just one of the other guys who always hit on me and I liked as a friend, I actually like, liked him. He was nice and cute and funny. We just clicked.

So when he asked me out for what seemed the hundredth time I finally said yes. He was so happy the whole school heard about it in two seconds flat. That part wasnt something I looked forward too. I can still remember our first date ever.

He picked me up from my house at five o'clock on Friday, June 16th. We drove to Seattle for dinner, typical, and went to see a movie. When the movie finished we drove back into town and went to La Push beach. We walked the beach for almost an hour under the full moon before he dropped me off at home. It had to have been the corniest date of my life, but it was really sweet.

Now I had to leave it all behind me. I was going to miss Charlie and Alyssa, Mike, Angela, Jessica, Tyler, Eric… everybody!

The smell of hamburgers and hot dogs was fresh in the air. Alyssa had taken it upon herself to set up tables and picnic benches up all in the back yard. There had to be about a dozen glowing lights streamed up everywhere and everybody from Forks had decided to show up to my going away party.

I hadn't realized I was this popular. But being the cheif's daughter I guess you are big news. It was only now eight and I wanted to go to bed. I had an early flight in the morning, thanks to the different time zones, and needed all the sleep I could get. Mike wasn't even here yet.

"How you doing kid,' Charlie asked me from my spot by his grill.

"Not bad. Just tired ya know. It's going to be a long flight to Florida," I replied.

"It's not that bad. And knowing you, you will probably sleep or read half the way there."

I nodded because I knew it was true. "Yeah, but still. The time difference is going to be the thing to kill me."

Charlie chuckled at that. "That's my Bells. Always the drama queen."

He knew how much I hated drama, which is why I think he likes call me that every chance he gets.

"Now now Charlie. We don't want to put Bella in a bad mood before she leaves," Alyssa said coming to my rescue.

"Thank you," I muttered under my breath.

"I wasn't trying to put her in a bad mood, honey. I was simply just trying to get her to enjoy a party for once," Charlie defended.

I laughed under my breath at that one. Another reason to like Alyssa, she had a way of making things around her light and casual. I took a sip of my coke as a way to hide my laughter.

"Oh Charlie, come dance with me! You know how I love this song," Alyssa cooed and laughed at the same time.

Charlie gave a slight glare at the dance floor. He hated dancing as much as I did, but reluctantly went with her to the dance floor in the middle of the yard. She was the only one that man would ever dance for in his life.

Watching Charlie dance was like watching a trucker doing ballet. He kept tripping over his feet like he was intoxicated but kept smiling at Alyssa as they jumped and kicked and turned to Cotton Eye Joe.

I turned away from the dance floor giving my eyes a break to go look for Mike.

It was really strange that he hadn't shown up to say good bye to me. I called and texted him several times to see where he was but every time I called I always got his voice mail.

"Let's see if the tenth time is the charm…," I mumbled to myself.

I pulled out my phone and dialed to familiar digits of Mike's number. I held it to my ear and waited. One tone…. Two tone…. Three tone…

"Hey you've reached Mike Newton. I'm obviously not answering my phone so leave a message and I may call you back... beep"

"Hey Mike its Bella, your 'girlfriend'. I'm calling you again to see where you are. Call me back when you get a chance or don't bother calling me at all again. Bye," I said rudely into the phone.

Why couldn't this guy not call me back? He always called me back. But then again he used to answer my phone calls too but apparently that's stopped as well.

"When I get a hold of you Mike Newton..." I grumbled to myself. But just when I was going to give up my looking, I noticed some movement in the trees. I walked forward a little to get a little look and what I saw wasn't a fluffy bunny.

"Mike, is that you," I gasped addressing the empty darkness.

It had to be Mike. No one else in Forks had that blond of hair or height.

"Hey, Bella. W-What are you doing here," Mike asked scratching the back of his neck.

"Umm its kind of my party. Where have you been I've been looking everywhere for you. Haven't you gotten my calls or texts?"

"Uh no. My phone is off so I haven't checked it yet."

"Oh." He was lying and he knew I knew it too.

"Mike, baby, where are you we haven't finished our game yet," a voice in the darkness giggled.

"Who is that," I asked. But I knew who it was even before I saw her. It was Jessica Stanley. One of my best friends, and here she was walking out of the trees in only her bra and shorts.

"What the hell is going on here," I shouted.

"Now Bella I can totally explain this," Mike said with his arms out in front of him ready to defend himself.

I was so pissed I'm sure smoke came out of my ears. "Really. You think you can explain this," I spat pointing between both their half naked bodies.

I turned and stomped away from them. Not did I just get cheated on by my boyfriend but he seduced one of my best friends. I could hear Mike foot steps behind me pounding into the dirt as he ran after me.

"Bella please let me explain," Mike pleaded. "She came on to me. She was drunk and came after me! I tried to put her off but I couldn't. She just started stripping…" his voice trailed off as if remebering every single detail of what happened in the past twenty minutes.

"You're pathetic," I spat. "You're a two faced back stabbing cheating little bastard and it's OVER! I effin lost my virginity to you right before I leave to tell you how much I was going to miss you, and cared. But no, the next thing I know you're fucking my friend in the trees! I never want to see your ugly face ever again do you hear me! You can not fix this one Mike."

I turned to go back to the party when I saw everybody looking at us. Slowly I took a step bacckward and looked back at Mike, tears forming in the back of my eyes, and sprinted to the back door. I had never been so embarassed in my life and I didn't stop until I reached my room and slammed the door before I let my tears go. The last thing I remember was thinking about how happy that I was going to Florida in the morning, before falling asleep.

Beep... Beep...Beep... SMACK!

I rolled over to look at the alarm clock on the table by my bed. The clock read 6:30. My head was pounding from last night and it took me a few moments to figure out why. Then it hit me like bag of bricks.

Mike cheated on me and with Jessica of all people... I thought to myself. God I was stupid if i believed they wouldnt hook up soon or later. I yawned and stretched in my bed trying hard not to go back to sleep.

Today was the day that I would be leaving Forks for Jacksonville. With the events of last night, it wouldn't be hard to say good-bye anymore. At that moment my phone began to vibrate. I reached for it on the bed side table and peered at the screen. I had seven text messages from Mike and three missed calls. Bastard. ...Knock...knock...

"Hey Bells, time to get a move on. Your plane leaves in two hours and we still have to drive to the airport," Charlie called through my door.

Slowly I pulled back my covers and made my way to the bathroom. I shut the door and turned the shower on. The water was hot and I stood there for a good ten minutes letting it soak in before scrumbing myself twice. A good twenty minutes went by before I finally wrapped myself in a towel, unfogged the mirror with my hand and brushed my teeth.

Once back in my room I took a look at the clothes I had laid out for today. A pair of ratty old shorts, a plaid flannel shirt, and old sneakers. It wasnt the most glamourous thing I owned but it was comfortable. I'll be damned if I'm going to sit on a plane for hours and not be comfortable.

An hour later I was packed and ready to go. The car ride up to the air port was a quiet one. Something about Charlie that I loved, his good-byes were never too heartfelt or gooey. But for me, I was still pissed at Mike and Jessica that it wasnt a real good idea for me to talk anyways. I had deleted his messages that morning because it made me angry all over again to just see his name.

Security took forever to get through. It seems I had metal all over my body and the guard had to use the metal detector all over me. Charlie wasn't very happy about that one and almost took the guys head off. But once I got Charlie calmed down we made our way outside the terminal. We sat down and he waited with me till I had to board the train.

"Thanks dad... for everything," I said.

"No problem Bella. I'm really going to miss you kid. And so is Alyssa," Charlie replied.

"I'm going to miss you guys too. Tell Alyssa that I said bye and good luck."

Charlie chuckled. "Always the jokes."

We sat in silence after that. Time seemed to tick by slowly. Like someone was purposely dragging this good-bye out to torture me. Finally an attendant with long brown hair came out to tell us it was time to board the plane. I stood up and so did Charlie.

"Bye Bella. Have fun and tell your mom I say hello," Charlie said hugging me tight.

"I will dad, and I'll make sure to write or e-mail you guys as much as possible," I replied.

"I love you, Bells."

"Love you too dad."

We broke away from the hug and I got in line to give the woman my ticket. I waved good-bye to Charlie before heading into the tunnel to board the plane. From then on my life had officialy changed.
