Chapter 22
Nessie ran to her and Jake's house and went in. She went up o her room and packed a bag of clothes. She grabbed some money and wrote Jake a note.
'I have to think. There's no way his can be true yet I feel like it is. I don't know when I'll be back. I'm just feeling so many things. I need to get away to sort everything out.
Love,
Nessie'
She had started to write Vanessa but scratched it out because it didn't feel like her name anymore. She had then thought about writing Renesmee but that didn't feel like her name either.
She put the note on the counter, picked her bag up, went out the door, and ran. She just continued to run and run. She heard her phone go off in her bag. She hesitated but stopped and pulled it out, hoping it wasn't Jake or one of the Cullens. It wasn't. It was a text from Stella.
'wat happened? phillip just got home &he's upset & his arm's broke. he said he fell & broke it but y aren't u w/ him?'
Nessie read the text and replied, 'i can't talk rite now. i'll explain everything later' She sent it, turned her phone off, put it back in her bag, and started to run again. She wanted to get extremely far away. She stopped a couple time but didn't fully stop running until she reached Ohio. She stopped in the middle of a big woods where people didn't really go. She walked in the woods, looking for a clearing. She found one and sat down on the ground. She had been numb most of the time she had been running but now the tears came pouring out of her eyes. They just kept coming and when they finally stopped she was completely numb. She laid down on the grass and fell asleep. When she woke up the sun was setting. She realized that she was positively starving but she knew she couldn't go to a restaurant. She didn't know what to do because food was what she hadn't packed. She heard the sound of a deer and sat up straight and listened. She quietly stood up, listened for where the deer was then took off running. She caught it and drank. Afterwards she straightened up and realized what she had just done. She sat down on the ground and started to cry again. She didn't know why she was crying this time. Nessie felt like she needed to be around people she knew but she knew she couldn't go back home yet. She decided that she would go back to La Push and visit Billy. Maybe he could help her sort everything out.
