Chapter 22… Goodbye
Bella's POV
Carlisle had called Charlie and explained what happened. He said that Charlie had freaked out at first, but he had calmed down after a while. The plan was that I would talk to Charlie and make up an excuse for leaving. We couldn't stay anymore. Emmett was too dangerous. After the whole proposal and congratulations I found out that I was not a full vampire. I was half vampire and half human because I didn't have the venom in by blood. I changed because Emmett changed. My hair was the same color just longer curls that went down to my waist, my eyes were the same but wider and longer eye lashes, my body had curves with full breast nice hips and nice legs. Although I still looked the same you could also tell that I looked different. I couldn't blush anymore but I could cry. I was pale white and ice cold, I was stronger and ran fast; I needed blood as much as I needed human food. That was why today I would go visit Charlie and say goodbye for Emmett and me. We had decided to leave our stuff here, Emmett had money –I never knew how- and said he would buy me stuff later. I would just go pick up important stuff like pictures of me and Em and some personal stuff I had. I got dressed and Edward did to. He said he was going to go with me just in case, although we went hunting and they feed me human food just to make sure.
"Edward I don't know what to tell my father." I was nerves. I was never really good at lieing. That was another reason Edward was coming, so he could make sure Dad believed the story.
"I don't know love, tell him that my family has to move and you couldn't be away from me just as much Emmett couldn't be away from Rose. I'll tell him that we're engage but we're waiting a few years before getting married because you're too young." It was better then what I had, which I had nothing. I guess that might work. Charlie wasn't home yet, I went to my room and packed some stuff in a box. I put my favorite books, a dairy, a few picture Alice took of me with her family, some pictures of me and Emmett and with our parents, I took my I pod, and stuff Edward got me on special occasions. I went to Em's room and packed what he told me. Edward took the stuff to his Volvo and came back. He was soothing me, I started to cry a bit, I would miss Charlie and my friends but I wanted Edward forever. I heard Charlie's car 2 minutes away from the house. I froze and told myself that I could do this, I had to do this. He walked to the porch and opened the door.
"Hey Bells, Hi Edward how are you two today?" he asked casual. Charlie had met Edward a few months ago, he didn't know we had a relationship though.
"Dad can you sit please we need to talk to you, and no I'm not pregnant." I knew I had to start off with that, just like Emmett he would come up with this idea first. He sat across from us and looked into my eyes. I knew he was trying very hard to find something in them but I wouldn't show him anything but love.
"Alright what is it." He broke the silence.
"Dad I'm leaving. Well Em and I are leaving. But we are not going back to Phoenix with mom." I took a deep breath and gazed at my dad for his reaction.
"Bella what are you talking about?" he was confused. And I understood why. Edward squeezed my shoulder so I could explain it more.
"Dad, Edward and I have been in a relationship for 8 months now. I love him and he loves me. His family has to go and Emmett and I are going with them. Emmett proposed to Rose yesterday." He had no expressions showing on his face.
"Bella you can't your only 18, what do you know about love. For all you know he might not be the one." He glared at Edward.
"Look dad, I love Edward more then you know, and even if he isn't the one –which he is- I need to make my own mistakes. I'm sorry dad but we have to go." I looked at Edward he had to say it now before my dad went mad.
"Sir I know that you might think we're too young to know what love is but there really isn't such a thing as to young. Bella and I are engaged, we're still waiting some years to actually getting married because she thinks we're too young." Edward finished and kissed my hand, where my ring was placed. That's when my dad noticed it. He looked at it for many minutes until he finally spoke.
"Bella don't make my mistake please think about it." He pleaded.
"Dad I already decided and we're leaving. Emmett couldn't say goodbye but he gave me this note and told me to give it to you. I'm sorry but we're leaving tonight so I have to go now." I got up and looked at Edward he knew he had to keep his hands on me just in case. I went up to my dad handed him Emmett's note kissed his cheek and gave him one last hug as I let a tear fall down my cheek. He hugged me back tight. My throat hurt but it wasn't dangerous.
"I love you daddy, I hope you can forgive me some day, I'll keep in touch if you want. And I'll also try to visit. Take care, and don't tell mom yet. I need her to hear it from me. Bye dad I love you." I said my last goodbye and we walked out the door. Edward pulled me towards him, he knew I would break down soon. I turned and I saw Charlie standing in front of the door watching us go. He mouthed me an I love you sweetie and call me. I nodded and got in the car. Once I was in I didn't have the feeling of crying. I felt better, and I knew Charlie would be ok. I smiled and we drove off.
"Edward, I think he's going to be okay."
"He will Bella, when you got in the car his last thoughts were that he knew you would be okay, you have Emmett. He also thought that he knew I loved you and I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you." He smiled and I kissed his cheek.
"So love, when would you like to officially be my wife?"I hadn't really thought about it, not that I could he had barely proposed yesterday.
"I don't know, any suggestions?"
"How about in June?" I knew why he picked June, that was the month we met long ago back in 1916.
"Okay what day?"
"I'll leave that to you love."
"The second?" I liked that number for some reason.
"Okay sounds good. So on June 2nd we'll get married." He sounded excited, like a kid getting locked in a candy store.
"Edward, where are we going to move to?" We haven't really talked about that.
"I wanted to talk to you about that. Would you move in with me in our own house?" I never really thought about that, but we were going to get married in only 3 months so why not.
"Yeah I would go with you anywhere."
"Okay, well how about we move to Alaska, we have family up there and well we can't stay in the same city because people would get suspicious. Carlisle and Esme want to move somewhere up there Alice and Jazz are following Esme and I'm not really sure about Emmett and Rose. You and me can move close to them but we can have our own place. Would you like that?"
"I think it's a great idea. I would love to be close to Carlisle and Esme too."
"Okay well everyone is packing right now. We're leaving in a few hours. When we get to Alaska we can go looking for houses."I was excited. I would get to live with my fiancé soon.
"Edward you know sometimes I feel like you're too good to be true." He laughed.
"Love, I feel the same way. And if this is all just a dream or my imagination I never want to go back to reality. I want to be where ever you are." We parked at the Cullen's house and walked hand in hand inside. I finally had my forever with Edward.
