Chapter 15

Leaving

This was pure, agonizing pain. Late Sunday afternoon, Chanel had responded to my email. She told me that she was fine with me coming back home. Mostly that she missed me and that she couldn't want wait to see me. Most of all, she was glad that I decided to come back home. I started to pack my things after the email but it took me a while to find the courage to actually pack. When I started packing things from my closet, I stumbled upon two bad memories. My guitar and the sketch pad I threw across the room.

I put my sketch pad in one of the side pockets of my suitcase and the guitar was placed in its case. I knew that when I put my guitar aside, the tears started to flow. It was so difficult to have to leave all of the friends I made. Sam, Austin, Alice, Edward… No! I had to leave the Cullens. Rosalie wanted me away so that I wouldn't cause anymore trouble. I wiped the tears away and kept packing.

Monday came slowly. As I got up in the morning, there was hardly anything left in here. Everything was already packed in many suitcases. I got up slowly and did my normal morning routine slower than usual. I felt horrible that I had to tell my teachers I was leaving. Or even to my friends. I don't know what I would do if Edward or Alice came to talk to me. Or even Emmett. I was his partner in Chemistry. Mrs. Gluetenz would probably find someone to fill my spot.

As I made my way to my car in the driveway, I wasn't in the best of moods. First, there was so much snow outside that it was hard to get to my car. Apparently, there was a snow storm last night that I didn't pay attention to. Second, I would have to say goodbye to everyone and leave here tomorrow. Third, I would have to drive to the airport tonight and take the earliest flight to Seattle. I drove down to school for minutes and arrived in the school parking lot to find it almost full. I must be late or something. As I got out of my car, I saw Edward and Alice, leaning on his Mustang. They seemed to be waiting for me… Just great… I grabbed my bag and rushed into the school. I rushed past them with my head down. As I passed past them, I felt terrible. I was ignoring them for good reasons but they made me feel horrible inside. Edward and Alice must have been confused by my actions but I had to.

All day long, I had to stay away from the Cullens. When I entered my classes, I first told my teachers that it was my last day and that I was leaving for Seattle tomorrow. They were disappointed that I was leaving. Apparently, I was one of their best students. Oh well… Like it mattered now. They didn't tell anyone that I was going to leave the city and I was glad of that. Next, it was my friends. First I told Sam and then, the others, that I was leaving Olympia tonight. They seemed sad that I was leaving but there was someone missing… Lizzy. She hadn't been at school in a while. I wonder if she was sick or something. Well, it wouldn't matter anymore. I wasn't going to see them anytime soon.

As the day went on, Edward looked at me in confusion every time I walked past him. On my way to my third period, Alice cut in front of me with a smile on her face. Why was she pushing this situation? I was trying to get them as far away from me as possible like Rosalie said and Alice was making this more complicated than it already was.

"Hi Jules!" Alice said with her perky pixie voice.

"Um… hi Alice. I'm sorry but I have to get to class…" I said as I went passed her and onward to my next class. She turned to face my back and she seemed very upset. I didn't want her upset. None of them should be. As Rosalie said, I was the one putting them in danger.

"Jules, why are you ignoring us?" Alice shouted from across the hallway. I felt some tears running down my face as I quickened my pace down to my next class. I was ignoring my boyfriend and my best friend so that they would be safe. Alright, maybe I was being selfish right now but for good reasons.

As I walked into the Chemistry class, I saw Emmett sitting at his regular place, next to my seat. How was I going to say goodbye to him? That child-like sweet man that wouldn't hurt a fly, even in his size. But I had to do it. Tonight, I would be out of their lives and Edward would forget about me. As I sat down next to Emmett, he smiled at me and gave me a bear hug from the side.

"Hey Jules! Had a good weekend?" Emmett asked with his child-like strong voice.

I didn't know what I would say to him. I was trying to ignore the Cullens but why were there so many complications?! I waved my hand in my hair and tried to find my voice. "Um… yeah…" I took out my favourite book, Pride and Prejudice, and started reading from it, hoping that Emmett would take the hint. He stammered on trying to find something to say but stopped talking to me after that.

The rest of the day went the same. It was avoiding people one after the other. Alice tried to get a word in to me the rest of the school day but I just went right passed her. It was really hard. The tears kept running down my face every time I avoided any of them. Emmett was sad that I was avoiding him and Alice was depressed that I was avoiding her. She was my best friend and I was treating all of her family like dirt. But I had to. Every time Alice or Emmett or even Edward tried to talk to me, Rosalie kept giving me death glares, literally.

The end of the day came quickly after those incidents. I drove back home in even more snow than there was this morning. Man, was there even going to be snow tomorrow? Well with all of this weather, I'm surprised the flights aren't cancelled so far. As I drove home, I had this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Usually, that meant that something bad was going to happen. I parked in the driveway after a few minutes and shut the ignition off. As I got out of the warm car into the cold, snow filled driveway, I fast walked to the front door. As I opened it, I started to take off my school bag and coat. I put my coat on the rack and my bag on the floor before I headed up the stairs to my room.

Everything was packed. It just needed to be transported to my car. I didn't tell Henry that I was leaving yet but he wouldn't even care. His bad attitude since I arrived here proved it. It wasn't worth it to stay here. As I got my suitcases at once, my bad feeling only got worse. I had to do this now or I would never be able to do it. I grabbed my suitcases and went down the stairs. Henry had just arrived when I came down the stairs. His surprised look was intriguing. I had never seen it on his face before today.

"What's with the suitcases? Going somewhere?" He asked me, now putting his equipment away on the hangar.

"Yeah, back where I belong." I said as I made my way towards the door with my bags.

"You can't leave until I say so! And besides, you wouldn't go far in this weather!"

"I can go wherever I please! I'm old enough to make my own decisions." I said as I turned to face him.

"Not until you're eighteen! Until then, you're under my care and what I say goes!"

"You know what? The only reason why I stayed was because of Jeremy. He always told me to keep giving you chances but now, I'm sick of giving you chances! Until you decide to change, I'm leaving!" I said as I grabbed my coat and opened the door in a rush. I started to leave when I heard him growl a little.

"If you walk out that door, then you better not step one foot in this house again!" At this point, I didn't care. I slammed the door behind me and started walking in the snow that came up to my knees. I think there was more snow than ever before. As I put my suitcases in the trunk and back seat of my car, I started crying. My dad told me to never set foot into my house. Now, the only home I had was with Chanel.

I started to get in my car but suddenly, rain started to pour on my windshield. Great, now there was snow up to my knees and rain! I started my car and drove down the driveway. As I did so, I could see Henry in the window, looking at me with death glares. He never wanted me to stay with him. But somehow, I knew that he would change his mind. It would take a while but it would come.

As I drove down the driveway and onto the street, I felt the tears flowing down. Why was I crying so much right now? I had to do this. I had no choice. As I drove down the streets of Olympia, I felt as my car was slowly down. I looked at my fuel tank and saw that I was running extremely low on gas. Just my luck… As my car came to a complete stop, I found myself on the road to the forest. That was the only way to get to the airport. Maybe I could call a cab and get them to bring me over. I took out my cell phone from my pocket and tried to open it but it never did. What the…? Oh no… My stinkin' battery was dead! Great…

I got out of my car and into the knee-high snow to try to get some gasoline from the trunk. I didn't remember putting some in but hopefully, I had some. As I went to the trunk, I moved my suitcases and tried to find a bottle of gasoline that would get me as far as a gas station. No luck. I didn't have any. Great...

I closed my trunk so that my suitcases wouldn't get wet but unfortunately, I was soaking wet. As I looked at my surroundings, there was something that popped at my eye. A mailbox. I went towards it and my luck just got worse.

"Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me!" Why was God doing this to me? WHY?! The mailbox wasn't an ordinary mailbox that belonged to anyone, it belonged to them… The Cullens was written on it in their beautiful handwriting. Why was this happening to me? As the rain began to pour even harder on me, I thought of only two options. Option one; I could face Rosalie's wrath and go knock at their door to ask for their phone to get a cab. Option two; I could freeze my butt off in the rain. Right now, option one seemed like a good way to go, even if it would cost me my dignity. I followed the trail that led from their mailbox and started my way at a quick paste to get out of this rain. Now, it started to rain even harder and add the snow.

This was the longest walk to someone's house that I've ever had! I looked at my watch and it read six thirty-seven. I could have sworn that I left around six from the house. Of course, the ride over here took a while. Now, I was soaked to my socks. I didn't find that it mattered anymore. I was already going into a war zone with Rosalie anyways so now, nothing mattered. I just wanted to get to somewhere warm and get some sleep. As I walked further on and my feet were aching, I started to see a large wooden shape forming itself around the trees. Finally! His house was starting to show itself! After all that walking and the cold weather, I just wanted to sit down. I suddenly felt very tired.

I made my way to the front door of the house and saw the lights on and most of the cars were in the garage. The garage could fit almost four cars so maybe some of them went out. But Edward's Mustang was outside, probably getting a bath. With all the windows in the house, I'm not surprised that they live in the forest and with them being vampires and all.

I went towards the door and hesitated a little. At least they had a porch. Now, I could get out of the rain a little. I got my hand up to knock but stopped before hitting. What the heck am I doing? I'm walking into my own grave! Especially with Rosalie there! But I had to get a cab to get to a motel. I would just catch the plane tomorrow. Now, I just wanted to get in a warm bed. It was now or never. I knocked on the door twice, knowing that they would hear me with their super hearing. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and saw Esme coming down the beautiful white staircase.

As she opened the door, she looked at me with astonishment. "Jules!" Her voice sounded worried but I had to do this fast and get out of here before anything else went wrong.

"Would it be possible for me to use your phone…? My cell phone died and I need to make a phone call…" I said. My voice sounded a little shaky but it was normal. I was in the freezing rain and snow and my clothes were soaking wet. I was now dripping on the porch and almost dripping on the carpet in the house.

"Of course dear. Come on in and dry off. You're soaking wet." She said as she waved me inside but I was hesitant on that. I went inside and Esme put her arm around my shoulders and dragging me inside. I think I was starting to wobble. Now, I was starting to see fuzzy but I didn't care. I needed to use the phone and get out of here before Rosalie saw me. Esme brought me up the stairs carefully and she brought me to the kitchen.

I could see Emmett, Carlisle and Jasper sitting in the living room watching some TV reality show but I didn't want anyone to notice me. Unfortunately, my wish didn't come true. They turned to face me and Emmett was as happy as a child on Christmas, even though that was coming up in less than a week. As Esme brought me to the phone on the counter, Emmett came up to me and he gave me a bear hug. Although I was all wet, I could feel his cold skin on my already wet and cold clothes.

"Jules! So glad you're here!" Carlisle said.

"Why are you all wet? And where's your car?" Emmett asked.

"It broke down close to your mailbox… I walked over here… I needed a phone to call a cab…" I said; my voice still shaky.

"Why? Where are you going?" Esme asked, now worried.

"And you walked all the way here just for a phone? There's almost two feet of snow outside and its pouring rain!" Oh my god… This was a stinkin' 20/20 game.

"I just need to call a cab to get home… I need to get to a motel soon… I've already missed my flight…" I said as I went towards the phone but Esme stopped me in my tracks at vampire speed.

"Oh no! You're not going anywhere tonight! There's too much risk outside with this weather. You need to get changed into warm clothes before you get a bad cold!" Carlisle said as Esme came towards me and put her ice cold hand on my cheeks but the cold made my face feel good. I didn't know why but I was really cold right now.

"Jules, you're burning up!" Esme said as she put her hand on my forehead. Of course, with her being a doctor, she could spot anything from a mile away.

"It doesn't matter now… I just need to get out of here…" I said as I tried to get passed them but Emmett put his hand on my arm, trying to stop me in my tracks. His cold hand on my burning skin was refreshing. As Emmett stopped me, I felt really dizzy so I hung onto the counter to keep myself balanced.

"Jules, why are you avoiding us? You've been running away from us all day. Why won't you let us help you?" He asked in his child like voice. He sounded upset but I didn't want anyone to get hurt on my expense.

"I just… I can't… be close to all of you… It's complicated…" I said as I began to wobble a little from my stance. I was so exhausted that I wanted to sit down. Esme was behind me in an instant, holding me by the shoulders.

"I'll say…" Jasper said.

"Come on. Let's get her on the couch. She's starting to get a fever. Try to get Edward and Alice to talk some sense into her." Oh no! Not those two! As I felt Esme drag me to the white couch, she put me down on it and Emmett called Edward and Alice down to the living room. I could faintly hear footsteps as my sight started to become blurry quickly.

"What seems to be the emergency?" I heard an angelic voice from behind the couch. I had to get out of here. They were trying to keep me here when I was trying to get away. Perfect… I started to straiten up and get off the couch when Edward and Alice saw me. They both came at me at vampire speed with worry as I got up with a wobbled try. I started to fall to the side as I got up and Edward caught me in his stone cold arms.

"Jules, what's wrong?" His angelic voice asked worried.

"Yeah; and why were you ignoring us all day?" Alice asked, her tone as worried as Edward's.

"She has a fever and she's trying to get out of here in this horrible weather." Esme said as I got to my feet stabilized and tried to get towards the flight of stairs. Edward kept his hold on me as I tried to get out but got exhausted fast. I closed my eyes and laid my head on Edward's chest.

"Jules, you need to stay put. Your fever is only going to get worse." Edward said as he put his head to mine. His cold skin was so refreshing; I wished he would keep it on me. But he removed it fast. I still kept my eyes closed and I started to close into unconsciousness. I could feel my body lose its strength and it started to go limp. Edward kept his hold on me as I faded into unconsciousness.

"Jules! Jules! Can you hear me?! Jules!" was all I could hear before the darkness overpowered me.

Alright everyone. Here's the thing. Some of you might be mad at me and I am sorry about that. But if you like my story, I would appreciate it if you guys reviewed my story. I do keep those reviews close by and I read every single one of them. So, please review.

PS: I might have done a Harry Potter story (which still didn't get any reviews fyi) but now, to entertain everyone in the Twilight world, I have started a new story. It's called 'Reattaching a broken heart' and it takes place during New Moon. This story is completely brand new and I just finished the Preface. I will be posting it right after this and you will be able to see what this story is all about.

It's mostly about Bella trying to accept the fact that the Cullens are gone but what happens when her reason to exist comes back?

Hope that helps you guys.
