I have been getting a lot of comments on how much people seem to like Brendon. I was actually never expecting this kind of response, I thought everyone would despise him. I had his future pretty much set until recently, when everyone seemed to start liking him. Now, I'm having second thoughts. There are still many who want to see him in peices, of course.

I've told a lot of people that Brendon hasn't been very honest with Bella lately. This chapter is going to explain some of that. Just read and see, and make sure to read the note at the bottom! As always, enjoy!


I sat in the plane watching as the night clouds rolled by. The lights of the cities below sped by, they were all that you could see in the dark. Slowly, the lights faded away as we began to fly over unpopulated area. With nothing to look at anymore, I turned to gaze at the girl next to me.

Bella was asleep, as she had been for most of the flight. She was dazed as I had bought the tickets, and pretty knocked out when we were sitting waiting for the flight. Luckily for me, she hadn't even bothered to look at the tickets, and was practically unconscious when the attendant had called to board. I don't know what I would have done otherwise.

I didn't like lying to her about this, but it had to be done. She needed to be away from Edward, no matter the cost. She would forgive me once I told her the truth, I was sure of it.

I lay back against the seat and closed my eyes. I remembered when she had gone into her homeroom, saying she had had an epiphany about love. There was only one person she could have spoken about.

I opened my eyes and looked at her again. He perfect face, slightly blushed, with her hair lying against her cheek. I reached over to place it behind her ear. She stirred.

"Edward…" she mumbled in her sleep, and turned over. My hand froze in place. No, it wasn't possible. Could she have meant that her epiphany was about him? That she still cared about that demon that had broken her heart?

No, he was worse than a monster, she could never love someone as repulsive as him. Her epiphany had to have been about me. She had to see I was perfect for her, that we were meant for each other. That I could heal her, that she was meant to be in my arms. We would be happy, away from the ones that had hurt her.

I stroked her hair, the placed my hand in my lap and turned to look out the window again. I had thought everything out. Derik and Emme would never remember me, and the Cullens would never be any wiser about my existence. That was a considerable loss, but worth it if it meant Bella would be happy. She had called after they went to pick up Edward and his family, so, since I was already packed, I waited for them to arrive.

I saw them, the ones that I despised but never met, and heard that the one, the girl Alice, saw the future. That could have been problematic, so I left quickly and picked up Bella. When she was safely away from her house, I made up an excuse to go back. The others had left already, I'm not sure why, and Alice was on the roof. Odd circumstances, but I still managed to convince Alice that she didn't need to worry about Bella anymore. There was no way they could find us where we were going now.

I had been a little paranoid when we got into the airport. In case they somehow did manage to follow us here, I bought an extra ticket. It was under Bella's name, and was a flight to Seattle. I had also figured that if she asked for the tickets, I could show her this one. Luckily, she hadn't asked. I pulled it out of my pocket and ripped it up. That ticket was useless now.

My only regret was that I didn't get to meet Edward face to face. I had been hoping to persuade him to leave Bella alone, that he didn't need to love her anymore. If he thought that she had moved on, then he wouldn't bother us. But unfortunately, he had left by the time I returned.

It might have actually been a good thing, I thought as my hands clenched into fists. I'm not sure if I would have been satisfied leaving him in one piece.

An hour or so later, we landed at our destination. I shook Bella, and she woke up, but still looked dazed.

"Hmmm, what? Are we there?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah we just landed. Are you okay?"

"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm fine," she yawned, "Just a little sleepy, still." I chuckled.

We got our carryon bags, which was all we had since we had both packed so quickly. I regretted this, but I could always just buy her more clothes later. As we walked off the plane, I supported Bella with my free arm. She still seemed really worn-out, but she was slowly coming awake. She glanced around as we walked through the airport to the rental car counter.

"Um, Brendon?" she said tentatively.

"Hmm?" I answered offhand as we walked.

"Maybe I'm just still tired, but this doesn't look like the Seattle airport." She said, fear creeping into her voice. I had been hoping to postpone this conversation, but now there was no point in beating around the bush. I took a deep breath and stood her up.

"That's because we're not in the Seattle airport, Bella." Her face was confused for a while, the she said hesitantly,

"What do you mean we're not in Seattle?" I looked at the floor, then back at her with an apologetic expression. Her appearance became very angry. "Brendon, tell me what's going on, right now." Her hands had clenched into fists, and her voice was beginning to rise in volume.

"I mean we're not in Seattle. We're in Edmonton, Alberta." Her eyes remained angry, but now mixed in was confusion and doubt.

"I've never heard of Edmonton, Alberta. Where is it?" she asked, her voice very quiet now, composed. But it was in a restrained way, like she was trying not to scream at me. I took another deep breath, and said,

"Bella, we're in Canada." Her face went from all those mixed emotion, strait to shock. But when she screamed at me next, all I could hear was rage.

"What the hell are we in CANADA for?!"


Haha, Canada... Can you believe it? This chapter may have been a little confusing, so please ask questions if you don't understand something. More will be explained next chapter, so don't worry.

Just so everyone understands, Brendon had no idea that Edward reads minds. He left before he heard that part of the conversation, so he has no idea Edward is trying to find them. I'm not sure if I made that totally clear.

Another note while I'm monologing. If your going to favorite this story, or put it on your alerts, leave a review. I hate it when a random person just puts a story on alert and doesn't say why. I'm a nice person, I like making friends! It's called networking! I try to reply to most comments (unless they are little two worders or something) so say something! Please review!
