Introduction
Edward makes the choice to leave Bella. Wanting to give her a human life. He does it in a cruel way. What he doesn't know is that giving her a human life is a death sentence. Bella had realised a few truths over the Summer. After James's attack. Now she heads to Italy to seek out those that WOULD help her. She finds her true mate. She finds true power and Edward's lies start to unravel…
Chapter 1: Leaving
Bella listened to the crap Edward was spewing. All this over a simple paper cut and the fact he wasn't willing to change her. And no matter how much she tried to explain why she wanted to be a vampire he just cut her off before she got to the important part.
At this stage she was over Edward's attitude. He acted like a whining brat that just wanted to get his own way and that he believed that his way was the only right way.
So, she let him talk about not loving her and he and his family didn't want her.
'He wouldn't know what true pain is even if it kicked him between the legs', Bella thinks crossly.
But she manages to give a neutral expression to what he was saying.
'Staying human is worthless to me. I wouldn't be giving up ANYTHING to be a vampire. If he even listened for a minute to me…but then again would I really want to put up with him for eternity?' Bella thinks.
"Promise me you won't do something reckless or stupid", Edward asks her, "For Charlie's sake"
"You lost that right to ask or make me promise anything Edward. If you want to go so badly then do so. You're taking your family with you I suppose?" Bella asks him calmly; she could see he was shocked at her attitude.
'Well dying would do that too you', Bella thinks.
"Yes, they have already left. You're not good for us Bella", Edward tells her, "You don't belong and can never belong"
'Well then Plan B will go into effect and to be perfectly honest I would rather THEY did it anyway!' Bella thinks.
"Bella?" Edward asks waiting for her to respond.
But Bella just nods and turns and walks away with her head held high. She was too proud to beg that boy to save her life. No, he wasn't worthy of being the one to change her and his family was the same. None of them even asking her opinion or allowing her to make her own decisions. She was also sure they hadn't been paying her much attention the last few weeks. As if they had they would have picked up something was wrong. Actually, they should have picked up something after James's bite. As she had seemed to be showing powers.
"Bella where are you going?"
"Home. I do believe you were leaving Edward. So, I suggest you go ahead and do that. I hope you're pitiful existence is a pleasant one", Bella says to him over her shoulder.
She sensed him freeze. But she didn't really care. She had plans to make and people to say goodbye too. Bella could sense her time was nearly up and she would need to put Plan B into action basically immediately.
She slammed the door on the way into Charlie's house and she felt Edward leave.
"I probably wouldn't be able to put up with his overprotectiveness and his control issues for eternity anyway", Bella mutters.
She rubs her temple. Her headache getting worse as she tried not to fall as she made her way up to her bedroom.
Bella gets the pills she kept hidden out and takes the required amount. These were the only thing keeping her from spending her last days in bed and in constant pain.
She noticed the things she got from the Cullen's were missing and she shrugged. She never wanted that party anyway. Just another thing the Cullen's wouldn't let her get a say in. All she had wanted was to spend the time after school relaxing here. As she didn't feel the best. But no…no Alice and Edward forced her to that party.
Bella had thought a lot of what the past few months had been like and she could see clearly now that the relationship she had with the Cullen's wasn't healthy and it was not something she needed to put up with in her final days.
'They probably would have tried to get me to do all those experimental procedures to 'extent' my human life. Which would make me more miserable and in pain then I already am. Not getting any joy out of the time I have left. And then when I would be taking my last breath, they would still probably wouldn't change me!' Bella thinks.
"I don't need them. I have another option and if that doesn't pan out…I'll be their lunch. Mos as well try. It is not like death scares me at this stage", Bella says to herself, "I have a couple of weeks left at the moment. Maybe go a few places and then head to Italy"
As she got her plan ready, she knew she would have to give Charlie closure. She knew this hadn't been easy on him. Another reason she wanted to leave was so that Charlie didn't have to watch her die. She would give him this one last bit of kindness.
Bella made all her Dads favourites.
"Smells good Bells!" Charlie says coming in and smiling at her.
"Thanks. Dad, we need to talk", Bella says to him softly as they sit down.
"Did you tell Edward?" Charlie asks her.
"No. They left Dad. He just had a lovely talk with me", Bella tells him.
Charlie frowns at that but doesn't press he could see that whatever Edward had said hadn't been the normal breakup talk.
"Dad, I love you, but we both know I don't have much time left", Bella says to him.
Charlie's winces at that remainder, "Bells…"
"Dad I can't spend my last weeks held up in bed. I want to live. I need to do my Bucket List you could say", Bella explains to him, "Being held up in that bed is not how I want to go out. I have a good collage fund and I can use that to do as much as I can before I leave this world"
"Bells there is hope…"
"No there isn't Dad", Bella reminds him gently, "This is it. My time is up. I am so glad I came to spend my final months with you Daddy. But now I just want to go out with a bang and I don't want you to see my die, Dad. I couldn't stand Mum watching me go through this again and I would never make her watch me waste away. And I don't want you either to experience that. I NEED this, Dad. It will help me find peace"
She saw the tears in his eyes.
"Bells you don't have to protect me. What kind of Father would I be if I wasn't with you when you needed me?" Charlie asks her.
She gets up and pulls him into a hug.
"You're the best Dad anyone could ask for. I know I have never made it easy. You'll be with my Daddy. You'll never be far from my heart even when it does stop beating", Bella whispers in his ear.
She felt his arms tighten around her and she felt the tears fall on her head.
"You NEED to let me go Dad. So, we BOTH can find peace", Bella tells him.
"How did you get so wise?"
"I never got the chance to be a kid", Bella replies, "All my choices and future were taken from me when I was 5. And now I want to make my final choice of how I want to go out. Please don't take that away from me"
He kissed her forehead.
"Very well Bells. You deserve to go out how you want. You thought hard sweetheart and you deserve to have a little adventure before the end", Charlie chokes out.
She throws her arms around her Dad.
"I love you Daddy"
"I love you too Kid. Always. Please…please remember that"
(Line Break)
Bella had the few items she wanted to keep in a carry-on bag. She spent the last two days just with her Dad. He had taken those days off just to be close to her before she left for good.
She looked around her Dads house one last time before meeting him at the door. She could see the grief and pain he was trying to hide. But she also saw all the love he had for her.
Before she could blink, she was in his arms.
"I love you Bells. So very, very much", Charlie whispers in her ear, "You have been so brave and courageous sweetheart and I'll take a page out of your book and be brave moving forward. Don't worry about me. Just enjoy what time you have left"
Bella hugs him back tightly tears falling mixing with his.
"I love you, Daddy. I will NEVER regret coming to spend my last bit of time with you. And know that I'll always be watching over you. I'll never truly leave you or Mum as long as you hold me in your hearts", Bella whispers.
He kisses her forehead.
"I am glad you were here too Sweetheart and I'll treasure these last months for the rest of my life. You'll be forever in our hearts Kiddo", Charlie tells her choking up.
They hear a horn sound.
She pulls back and gives him a smile.
"That is me", she says nodding at the Taxi waiting for her, "We'll meet again one day Daddy. Hopefully far in the future"
"I know we will Kiddo. I know. Heaven awaits you honey. Go in peace and don't worry about me"
He pulls her back into a quick hug.
"I love you Sweetheart. I love you so very, very much and just do me this one last favour…"
"What is that?" she asks him.
"Enjoy yourself Bells and maybe give me a call every now and then so I can at least know…", he leaves it hanging.
The last bit didn't need to be said.
Bella nods and walks down the stairs and looks back at her home and her Dad. She could see the tears glittering on his cheeks.
'Be well', she mouths at him.
'I love you', he mouths back.
She gets in the taxi and looks one last time at her Dad.
"Where to Miss?"
"Port Angeles Airport"
