Charlie was watching the end of the game on TV. It had been a slow game and it didn't help that every now and then his mind went to Bella's 'date'. At lest she was going off with Edward's family. Charlie was glad she was getting to be around people. He just didn't know how he felt about one of them being a teenage boy. He had been a teenager once, and he knew how boys thought.
Charlie turned off the TV when he saw lights in the drive way. The score was 27 to 0. He knew who would win this game, and he was just going to say good night to Bella and go to bed.

Bella took a deep breath before getting out of the car. Edward warned her she had fifteen minutes. Bella ran to the door glancing around scared wondering if James was here. Edward had assured her he wasn't. Bella turned around and looked at Edward "Don't listen to anything I say," Bella whispered before opening the door. "Go away Edward!" Bella tried to sound as angry as she could.
Bella ran up the stairs no wanting to hurt Charlie, but knew she wouldn't be able to avoid it. She held herself together trying not to cry knowing it wouldn't help anything. She was scared, worried, and didn't want to hurt Charlie. |

Umm, what? Charlie looked out the window but didn't see Edward's car anymore. He turned and followed up the steps to find Bella. This couldn't be good. Did he hurt her? Charlie thought down to his gun but knew it was irrational. He could give Edward legal trouble. "Bella?" Charlie called as he followed her. "Bells you ok? What happened?" When he got to her door he stopped not wanting to go in and have to see her all weeping if she was crying over the bed or something, but needing to know.

Bella slammed the door Edward was already there tossing cloths to her so she could put them in her bag. Bella got out her money it wasn't much, but would be enough for what she had planned. She didn't know what exactly was going to happen after this, and she couldn't avoid hurting her father to get away. "I want to go home," Bella yelled as Edward darted out the window warning her she didn't have much time. She really didn't want to do this and hurt her father.
Bella grabbed her bag full of what she would need. She stood by her door for a few more moments trying to control herself before she did this. She opened the door and saw her father she didn't want to do this, she really didn't, but didn't have a choice. |

"You are hom--Bella what is this about? Did he hurt you?" Charlie asked talking to the door, while trying to get caught up. He had not clue what was going on and this was only making his head spin faster. She went to a baseball game, how wrong could a baseball game get?! Unless they lied about the game? Could they have? Charlie was trying not to imagine how wrong a night could go. As a small town cop you didn't see much of this around here. Did Edward force her? Hurt her?

"No dad," Bella replied to her father. She took a deep breath. "I can't stand another minute here! I want to get out of her I don't want to be stuck here!" Bella tried to sound as angry as she could. She didn't know if she had succeed very well or not. Bella ran down the stairs her bag full of cloths she had most recently touched. She didn't want to do this, she really didn't.
She knew she didn't have much time left. And she knew that Charlie wasn't going to let her leave. She would have to hurt him, but maybe he would now. But she really had her doubts. |

The words were like a punch to the gut. Charlie wasn't sure what had happened. "Bella, calm down and just stand still a moment. You can't drive all the way out there tonight. You can sleep on it and if you still want to go in the morning I will call Renee and drive you to the airport." He knew something must have happened. Bella wasn't one to react like this for nothing. . . her mother had. Renee didn't like Forks. Maybe Bella didn't either.

"I have to get out of here now," Bella replied running down the stairs. She was lucky she didn't trip and fall like she usually did. She knew her words had hurt him and it hurt her even more because of it. "If I get tired I'll pull over I promise," Bella assured him. She knew it was late and now wasn't the time for leaving. But she wasn't the on that would be driving. She was doing this for his protection so James wouldn't be after him.
Bella pulled herself together she couldn't breakdown now their wasn't much time. Edward was waiting on her and Charlie wasn't going to let her go. She thought of one statement that would make him let her go she hated herself for even thinking it. It would be a last resort, she had no time left. If he didn't let her go now she would have to hurt him even more. |

"Well-" Charlie followed her, "I--" He wasn't sure what he sound be saying to her to make her stop and think and do as he said. "Bella--" He stopped at the bottom of the steps. "I know I am not allot of fun, and I could do better. Look, stay and we can do more things together. I can spend more time at home and we can get to know each other. I don't want you to go, I just go you back." That was as honest as Charlie had been with anyone since the night Renee had walked out.

Bella composed herself before turning to look at her father. She really didn't want to do this, but what choice did you have? "Like what?" Bella asked turning to look at her father. "Go to the diner every night eating steak and cobbler, watching sports. That's your life dad not mine." Bella turned around and headed toward the door.
She had hurt him and she knew it, but she still hadn't said what her mother had said. That would hurt him to much. Repeating what her mother had said would be to much. She hoped he would let her go. She placed her hand on the knob ready to turn it and leave. |

Charlie sucked in a deep breath while trying to get control on what was happening. "Bella--" He said but stopped him self. He just watched her. He knew however, that she wasn't going to stay. That for the second time in his life the most important woman in his life was walking out on him. He couldn't make her stay. "Stay." He word sounded soft and begging but at was willing to risk his pride if that was what it took.

Bella bit her lip and closed her eyes. Her back was to him her hand still on the door knob. "Just let me go Charlie," Bella said keeping her voice calm for a moment. "It didn't work out, okay? I really, really hate Forks!" Bella knew Charlie would come after her after saying that. Those were they very words her mother had said the night had left. Bella opened the door and ran to her truck. "I'll call you tomorrow!" Bella yelled before she got into the truck.
Bella drove off tears blinding her vision. She knew Edward wouldn't be to far behind if he already wasn't here. She felt like a horrible person hurting Charlie so much. |
