Chapter 3
Bella's POV
I bit back tears as Rosalie found a parking stop to park in.
"Bella, I really am sorry you had to find all of this out like this," she said quietly.
"No, I needed to know the truth," no emotion was in my voice, it was a monotone sound that didn't even sound like me.
"I'll walk you in," Rose stated putting the car in park before getting out, I opened the door and slowly stepped out.
"Thanks," I muttered as we walked in silence to the desk to get a ticket.
"How may I help you?" the young lady chirped and I cringed at the cheerfulness in her voice.
"One for Forks Washington," Rose answered for me putting the money on the counter. I opened my mouth to protest but she silenced me, "it's the least I can do after everything we have put you through."
I just sighed as the lady processed it and handed me the ticket.
"The flight isn't for another five hours, would you like me to stay and keep you company?" Rosalie asked following me to security.
"No, I'll be fine but thanks for everything," I said and she pulled me into an embrace. It felt so wrong being in her arms and I felt like I should push her away screaming at her for everything.
"Bella, please take care of yourself, you have a long life ahead of you, don't throw it away just because of this," her words rang in my ears and as much as I wanted to tell her that nothing else mattered now I just nodded my head. She gave me one last squeeze before pulling away.
"Thanks," I managed as she pulled out some money and handed it to me.
"Get something to eat, you look horrible," she walked away after that leaving me to stand on my own.
Once she was out of sight I darted towards the nearest bathroom and locked myself in one of the stalls. I couldn't force it back anymore and as much as I hated it, the tears came and sobs racked throughout my body. I slid down the wall into a sitting position and hugged my knees to my chest burying my face in them to try to muffle the pathetic wailing that was escaping my lips.
I don't know how long I sat there but I knew it had been at least an hour or so. I pulled out my cell phone and turned it on for the first time since I left my house and shook my head at how many voicemails I had. Looking through the missed calls I came to a name I hadn't talked to in awhile. Renee. After seeing her name I knew I needed to talk to her, she would somewhat understand and I just needed to hear her voice. I wanted so badly to be with her right now because she always knew the right thing to say. I pushed the call button and put the phone to my ear.
"Bella!" Renee's voice rang out in surprise, "where are you? Are you okay? Charlie is worried sick."
"Hi mom, I'm okay," I forced my voice to sound happy but no matter how hard I tried I knew Renee would know something was wrong.
"Honey, what's wrong?" she questioned and a sob escaped my lips.
"Mommy, I miss you," I whispered as more tears escaped down my cheeks and I tried to keep myself from shaking.
"You know your room is always here and we would be so happy to have you with us," she said and I sat there silent for a moment. Maybe it would be easier to be with them for awhile, it clear my head.
"Can I come tomorrow?" I managed to ask.
"Of course, I'll get everything ready for you," she said, I could tell she was beyond happy with my decision to come back.
"That's mom, I love you," I said.
"Love you too, call me later with the details," she said as I hung up the phone. I slowly stood to my feet and opened the door to walk to the sink to check my face.
Puffy red eyes tear stained cheeks and a runny nose is what stared back at me in the mirror. I turned the water on and splashed my face a few times before grabbing some paper towels to dry my face. I looked at myself again and sighed.
"People are going to think I'm high," I muttered throwing the towels away before walking out of the bathroom back to the front desk. The lady looked at me confused as I looked to her.
"Is there something wrong?" she questioned as I placed the ticket on the counter.
"Can I get this changed to a ticket to Phoenix Arizona?" I asked as she rolled her eyes slamming her hand down over the ticket before picking it up.
"Sure," she forced a smile as she did what she needed to do and gave me a new one.
"Thanks, I really do appreciate it," I whispered walking away. This flight left in an hour so I pretty much ran to security.
I collapsed in a chair once I made it to the right place and put my head in my hands. My stomach growled reminding me that it was indeed still there and feeling rather neglected as I rolled my eyes. I glanced as the clock and realized I didn't have time to eat anything as the loudspeaker announced the soon departure of my flight. I jumped up and ran towards the door and then made my way to the seat.
I don't remember much after that because my eye lids felt like lead and I instantly fell asleep. I slept the whole flight, well, to the first stop in Atlanta that is. There was an hour layover before I would be on a plane that took me to Renee. Once I stepped off the plane my eyes wondered around and spotted a food stand.
I was munching on a French fry when I turn my phone back on to call Renee and once I did I regretted it. It rang and tears threatened to fall as Edward flashed on the screen. My finger automatically went to answer it but I stopped myself before succeeding and hit the end button. Before anymore interruptions I called Renee to tell her when my flight would land.
My phone vibrated again and I looked down to see Alice flashing at me.
"Leave me alone," I whispered harshly to the phone before answering only to let hit lay there in my hand. I wouldn't put it to my ear; I didn't care what she or her lying brother had to say. I knew the truth now and they needed to stay away from me. She eventually hung up and I turned my phone off, it wouldn't be back on in awhile, I would have the number changed when I got home so they couldn't contact me.
Once again the loudspeaker announced the departure of my flight and I ran to get my seat. I stared at the seat in front of me as I remembered the first time I was on a plane this week. It was with Alice and it had ended badly. I knew I would never be over Edward but at least this way it would be easier, I wouldn't be reminded of him as much. If I would have known that was the biggest lie I had ever told myself, I would have made sure I died cliff diving.
