CHAPTER 3: change
There was no reply.
I knew Jacob would tell me, I looked at him. I had never seen him so angry. I gasped.
It must be something to do with Renesmee.
"Tell me!" I all but shouted at Jacob
"You have to move away! Charlie knows about you! He's not safe around you anymore!"
I stared at the Cullen's, shock rising to my face.
"What? How did this happen?" I asked frantically
"Leah. She gave him a hint, she was sick of sneaking around all the time. Charlie figured it out. From what i hear it was more than a hint..." Edward told me
"So now we have to move away? Leave Charlie. Leave Forks. Leave the Cottage. Our home." It wasn't as such a question, just me figuring out aloud what was happening.
"Yes." was all Edward said.
"If we could stay, find a way around it we would. But if the Volturi find out that another human knows our secret then Charlie will be in danger. We can't let that happen to him" Carlisle told me sympathetically.
"I won't be able to see Charlie again? Ever? Before he dies?" I asked in tearless sobs
"I'm so sorry, Bella. Maybe we could arrange a few visits, but I doubt it until things have cleared up a bit. Well a lot." Carlisle told me
"When do we have to leave?" I asked
Edward and Carlisle exchanged a wary glance.
"How long 'till we have to leave forks?" I asked sternly
"As soon as we have finished packing up our stuff. Word travels quickly and we don't want to lead the Volturi on our trail. Demitri could be a problem" Edward told me solemnly.
"Now? We have to leave now?" I panicked
"Sorry Bella"
I looked at Jacob and realized his Mood.
"What about Jacob?" I wondered.
Edward shrugged "That's the problem." Edward looked at Carlisle, affirming his thoughts.
"Well one of them. We don't want Jacob to have to leave his friends and family but...It will kill him to be away from Renesmee."
"Oh, God!" I muttered to myself.
Why did everything have to get so mucked up. Just when i had settled down with my new family, when we had just got things sorted out. I love Forks, all my memories are here from being human. It's hard enough to look through muddy vision but if i wasn't in forks...my memories would be gone.
"Where are we going?" I asked
"Boston, Massachusetts it looks like at the moment, but we may have to move around a bit. Depends on what the Volturi decide and what Alice sees." Emmett moaned
Edward took my hand and started leading us out the door.
"We better start packing up the cottage" He said
I sighed "I don't want to leave! I can't! It won't be the same"
"We can't endanger Charlie like this though" he reminded me
"Will we have a place of our own Boston?" I asked hopefully
"Probably not, at least for a while anyway. We need to stick together. Renesmee need to stay with us."
We walked into the house. I looked round and saw all the things, memories. I felt like crying. The hatred i felt for Leah right now was stronger than anything i had ever felt, maybe even stronger than the love i felt for Edward. Why oh why did Leah have to ruin everything?
I looked at the wardrobe, boy oh boy that was going to be a big job. I sat on the bed and started packing the loved memories into a shift away cardboard box.
"Bella" Edward coughed quietly "You don't need to pack everything, only things you will need for a couple of decades. We can move back here after...Charlie doesn't need to be ...protected anymore"
I knew what he meant. He meant leave most of our stuff here because when Charlie has died we will move back to forks, into our cottage because there would be nothing to run from. I cringed at the thought and quickly wiped it from my mind. I didn't want to leave my father, in his ageing stage to be alone. To have no members of his family to help him. I would never see my father again.
