Edward's POV
My plan wouldn't be easy but it would be worth everything I had to go through just to make her mine again. I hastily got myself ready, and out the door just under twenty minutes. I made the hour trip to Seattle to go find her brother, and to buy her those beautiful dangling earrings she gazed at during one of our dates. I had to make a few calls to track down Jasper but I found him via his roommate, Alex.
First I went to the jewelry store to buy my Bella her precious jewels. She told me that they reminded her of her mother, and that was enough reason to buy them for her. I just hope she would see that I'm not doing this to buy her love, instead I'm doing all this because I want her to remember that I listened to her, and that I was there for her during those times where no one else would hear her.
Alex met me at a downtown coffee shop, and then took me to their apartment to meet Jasper. I could see Jasper was swamped with work, and school so I had to make this quick. I told him the complete truth, and he didn't interrupt me once. While I had been rambling on, being all nervous, I immediately felt calmer in his presence. He told me he believed me, and I had his permission to do anything in my power to make her see that I would be the only one for her, and that she would be the only one for me. He agreed with my plan, and after leaving his apartment I headed to my next task.
I ordered all her favorite flowers from lilies, to roses, wildflowers, and beyond. I told the manager that he should immediately send them to her home. After everything was set I made it back to Forks in no time. I parked the car just a little further away from her house just to see the flower truck pull into her home. They had many helpers to bring in all those flowers to her home.
But five minutes passed of no one opening the front door. Her truck was still parked in the driveway but the cruiser wasn't there. I got out of my car once the delivery truck left, and tried to open the door. It had been locked. I went to the backyard, and climbed up the tree. The window had been shut. I looked inside her room, and noticed that most of her things weren't there anymore.
Her laptop was gone, her books, and the closet had been emptied completely. I became confused, and I almost fell off the branch. I made my way down the tall tree, and decided to drive to the police station. I went inside to ask to speak with Charlie. One of the officers told me that he had left just fifteen minutes ago with Bella. I asked them where they were heading, and he told me they were going to the airport in Port Angeles. I tried to call her cell phone, but her voicemail alerted me that she had shut it off. I put everything together, and my face fell. She is leaving Forks. She is leaving me. I couldn't stop myself, and this adrenaline rush I had. I ran to my car, and I sped my way to Port Angeles. I put myself in danger every time I ran a red light, or didn't make a complete stop. There weren't many cars around so I knew I could get away with it. So I did everything in my power to go to her. Stopping traffic along the way was my only choice of saving precious time that was fading away with every tick of my clock.
Bella's POV
This would be the hardest thing I ever had to do. I had to leave the one man I had ever truly loved. I will probably never love the same way again. I packed my remaining clothes, and books into my suitcase, and then went down to the kitchen to make breakfast for Charlie, and I. My flight, the only flight leaving from Port Angeles would take off in just a little over two hours.
So we did have enough time to eat, and make the short drive there. "Are you completely sure this is what you want to do?" Charlie said after taking a bite of his eggs. "Yes. I'm sorry dad for leaving you but I'll be back sooner than you think. I just need time away from this place. From some of these people." I told him. I couldn't even say his name, and it made it even more difficult to stay here one more minute.
After we were finished our meal I cleaned up quickly, and Charlie loaded my remaining suitcase into the trunk of the cruiser. "Well it's time to go, Bella." Charlie said standing by the front door. I wiped my hands clean of everything. Forks, him, and those bitches. "Alright lets go." I said jumping into the car.
Charlie had to stop by the office to tell one of the officers that he had to make an errand, and that he would be back in no time. The drive to Port Angeles had been longer than I what I remembered it to be, when I first moved here. Maybe it had been a sign, but I didn't see it that way.
We got out of the car, and walked into the airport while Charlie carried my suitcase. I made my way to the check in counter, and placed my bag onto the scale. "How many are flying today?" The employee asked me. "Just one. Myself." I told her in what probably looked like a depressed face. "Alright dear, your seat is C2. Have a great flight." I thanked her while grasping the ticket in the palm of my hand. I looked the ticket over making sure everything had been typed correctly. Which just made me realize that everything from this point on is real, and that I would be leaving in less than an hour.
My dad, and I waited by the little cafe. He went, and ordered some coffee for us. I checked my cell phone, and noticed no new calls, or messages. Which made me just shut the stupid thing off completely. Charlie brought me my coffee, and just before he sat down he mumbled to himself, that caused him to drop the hot coffee all over my lap. Now my father was the klutz. He actually didn't even look at me when it happened. He stood there just like a mannequin. I grabbed the napkins, and wiped my lap. I then looked where his eyes were fixated, and I gasped.
Thank you so much you kind readers for your replies. :) Can't say how happy I am to have dedicated readers. Cliffy at the end. I just had to lol.
