AN: I had an orchestra concert on Thursday, and it gave me an idea for a story. That's how this story came around. And I actually got time to type this chapter! YAY! I'm disappointed with the lack of reviews for my other stories. I've only gotten about 5 for the 2 chapters I posted. Until I get 7 for each, I will not be updating them. I am sorry to those that reviewed. Anyways… ill shut up now and let you read this.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea.

Chapter 1: Leaving My Heart Behind

I walked into the house and hung my keys on the hook. I then walked over to the fridge and looked for anything that I could use to make dinner. Sighing, I pulled out leftover fish. It would have to do. As I put it in the oven, I could hear the cruiser pulling up. A minute later, Charlie came rushing in.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Charlie never rushed with anything, even when we were late.

"Bella, we're leaving."

For a minute, I just stared at him in shock. Leaving?!? Why?!? "What are you talking about dad? Why are we leaving?" I followed him as he ran up the stairs. He pulled out his old battered suitcase and started shoving things from his closet in it.

"It's not safe Bella."

"What do you mean it's not safe? It's plenty safe!" Even as I said the words, I knew they were false. There were vampires and werewolves all over the place.

Charlie paused and whirled around to face me. "I mean it's not safe Bella. Billy told me everything."

"Dad, have you lost your mind?!? What nonsense was he telling you?"

"That there were vampires." I froze in horror. Why did Billy tell him? "That the Cullen's are vampires. Bella, you can't date a vampire! And I bet you didn't even know!"

"Dad! I don't care that they're vampires! Have they hurt me yet? I'm still here dad! If they were dangerous I'd be long gone! And I've know for a long time dad! I'm not stupid! Did Billy tell you there are werewolves also? Opps…" I regretted saying the last part instantly.

"WEREWOLVES?!?!? Pack your things now Bella. Whatever you absolutely can't leave behind. We are leaving in 10 minutes. Now go."

With tears streaming down my face, I yelled. "NO! I'm not going! You can't make me!" I ran down the stairs and went to where I had put the keys. They weren't there. I whirled around to face Charlie, who had followed me. "Dad! Give them back!"

He looked at me coolly. "No Bella, I can't let you put yourself in danger. Now go pack your bags. Now."

I ran blindly up the stairs. I quickly threw the few things that I couldn't leave behind; my lullaby, the pictures of Edward, and various clothes that were my favorite. I then found a piece of paper and knelt by my bedside table.

Edward

I'm sorry that I left, but I have no choice. If I could stay, then I would. But Charlie knows your secret and will do anything to get me away from you. I just want you to know that wherever I go, I will still love you. That will never change.

Missing you already,

Bella

I folded it then set it in the exact center of the table. I then grabbed the sock of money that was underneath my mattress, my CD player and headphones, and then stuffed them in my backpack. Slinging the backpack onto my back, I looked around my room for the last time. I knew I would never return. I then grabbed my suitcase and walked reluctantly down the stairs. Charlie met me at the bottom and took my suitcase. He then led me to the cruiser and made sure I was in the passenger's seat before going around to the back and throwing my suitcase in with his own.

Then he got into the driver's side and started the car. He pressed on the gas pedal, and we pulled away from the house. When we were halfway down the street, I turned around to take my last look at the house I had called home for over a year. Standing in the driveway was Edward. He looked so heartbroken that I had to turn away. Tears streamed down my cheeks as we turned the corner, leaving my heart behind.
