Chapter 3

Hope For A New Start

Bella POV

To say that Charlie was surprised when we talked to him about my going to live with Emma, would be completely wrong. He was practically jumping for joy when Aunt Lisa and Uncle Neil agreed to let me live with them in Australia. I must have been worse than I thought, if he was so eager to have me away from Forks. I small part of me new that this would be for the best. But another part of me a much bigger part of me was afraid to leave, afraid of forgetting. I loved him so much and nothing could ever change that, I just wished that he felt the same. I guess however I just wasn't good enough for someone as striking as him. He had told me as much hadn't he? That day in the woods was becoming less and less clear.

"Bella, I don't want you to come with me." he spoke the words slowly and precisely, his cold eyes on my face. Watching as I absorbed what his words really meant.

"you…don't…want me?" the words ripped a whole in my chest a fissure if you will . Anything else and it would shatter.

"No" My heart broke into a million pieces.

The more I tried to picture his beautiful face and deep golden eyes, the more the memory slipped away from me. Soon I'd be left with nothing but the pain, and faded memories of a time when I was happy and in love despite the hardships we had faced. His lust for my blood, James tracking and almost killing me, and finally my disastrous party. I was blissfully happy. It may not have been real for him, but my love would always be real. Nothing not even going to Australia could change that. I would love Edward until the day I died whether he loved me in return or not.

The next morning we were packed and ready to head to the airport. I was still worried about Victoria and Charlie but I had a small selfish hope that Jake and the pack would end her like they had Laurent. I was terrified something would happen to Charlie and Jake as well, but I also knew that the pack was good, strong, and so long as they were here Charlie would hopefully be safe. I had to hold on to that hope, if I didn't I'd be a wreck and no amount of Sun and nice weather would change that.

As Charlie and Uncle Neil loaded the car I cataloged everything that had happened since I'd made the decision to come to Forks. First I met Edward, then I got saved from Tyler's van by Edward, then there was falling in love with Edward, and finally feeling happier than I ever had before. Even the incident with James seemed insignificant in the bigger scheme of things. I craved Edward, I needed to be around him. He was smart and handsome and I could careless that he wasn't human. He made me feel whole. With out him here I felt like a shell of the person I used to be. I'd given my heart to him and when he'd left he took it and all of me with him. A small sigh escaped my lips as I spotted the familiar car pull in alongside Uncle Neil's rental. Charlie must have told Billy I was leaving.

Jake emerged first his face impassive keeping his emotions in check, but I could see that he was upset, his dark eyes were the very windows into his soul, his face might have been calm but his eyes were stormy and filled with what could only be described as hurt. He helped Billy out and into his chair before approaching Emma and I slowly. We were standing just inside the door Elliot was all ready in the car, and Aunt Lisa was saying goodbye to Charlie. It wasn't raining for once but, the ground was damp with puddles left over from the day before.

I smiled sadly at Jake as he came to stand in front of me.

"so your leaving" I nodded.

"yeah I m going to spend the year abroad." I spoke with a mock English accent. He laughed a little before his face fell into sadness once more.

"I m going to miss you." he murmured, taking a step closer. I held up a hand telling him to stop.

"I thought you hated me Jake?"' he frowned at my words and without warning pulled me in to bone crushing bear hug.

"never Bella I can never hate you. Was I upset yes but I can never hate you." I smiled. His words made me feel better at least I wasn't leaving thinking he hated me. He was my best friend after all.

"do you really have to go." he mumbled as he released me. I smiled.

"I need this Jake, but look I promise I will text you everyday and we can talk on the phone and there is email too." he smiled at that.

"yeah I guess we can. I m still going to miss you like crazy but I guess maybe you do need this." I smiled wider.

"thanks' for understanding Jake." I murmured. I carefully looked around Emma, Eliot my aunt and Uncle were all ready in the car waiting patiently for me. I pulled Jake down the steps and near the car but not to near.

"before I go I have to ask." he just nodded all ready knowing what I was going to ask.

"Victoria?" I spoke her name and he nodded.

"she's been around." he informed me quietly.

"you'll keep Charlie safe?" I whispered, and he nodded.

"don't you get hurt either." I whispered a single tear slid down my cheek. I was scared for him. I was scared for all of them. Vitoria was vicious. I wasn't sure how I knew but I did. I was afraid she'd hurt the ones I loved most and there wasn't anything I could do to stop her other than giving myself over to her. Which Jake would never let me do.

I said goodbye to Charlie and Billy after that. Then before I knew it I was in the car next to Emma and we were heading off to the airport.

The drive was short and no one really spoke. I was tired and eventually fell asleep.

When I woke up we were just pulling into the airports' parking lot. We piled our luggage on to a metal cart and went inside just as it started to rain. Uncle Neil took the rental car back to the rental place. While we headed to drop off our luggage and pick up our tickets.

Two hours later we were in line to board our plane. I pulled my pass port out and the woman at the entrance took it and looked it over before flashing me a smile and placing a stamp on it. I smiled carefully back at her. Before entering the tunnel that led to the plane. I was nervous beyond belief I'd never really liked airplanes. But more importantly I was scared, and worried, I was leaving Charlie and the pack back in Forks with a bitchy vengeful vampire, that would do just about anything to get me. The hole on my chest flared at the edges as I thought about the reasons why she wanted to get me. I still couldn't think his name. I wrapped an arm around myself desperately trying to keep myself together. It got harder every day. His face, his perfect face cropped up in my mind and I felt a sharp stab of pain. I stumbled slightly at it's intensity, and felt Emma's reassuring hand on my shoulder.

"Bella you need this. It's okay" She smiled reassuringly and I wanted so badly to believe her. I forced a smile and stood up straighter. This was my chance to start over, I love Edward with all that I have, but for that reason alone I have to be strong. I can't let the pain rule my life anymore I wont let it. I can't I ll die if I do. I took a deep breath and followed Emma on to the plane. This was my chance and for the first time in months I felt a spark of hope flare in my chest. It over shadowed the pain at least for the moment. Hope was what I needed and it was hope that I would hold on to as I made this new start. Hope that my future could be livable.

A/N ok please review. Sorry it's taking me so long to update. Sometimes life gets crazy and then it gets in the way. But I guess that's just how it is. Love it or hate.
