Chapter 9

---

Charlie and Julie sat in the living room, watching TV as the front door suddenly burst open to reveal Bella, (M/N) and a devastated Edward.

"Go away Edward!" Bella yelled.

"Bella, don't do this. Just think about it, please," he begged.

"It's over. Get out!" She slammed the door on his face and moved towards the stairs. (M/N) leaned against the wall and tried to catch his breath as Charlie and Julie got up urgently.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?" Charlie asked.

"Are you kids alright? Did something happen?" Julie added with concern.

"I've just gotta get out of here. Out of Forks. I'm leaving. Now." Bella stormed up the stairs and (M/N) quickly followed her, avoiding Julie's gaze.

Bella stopped momentarily, turning to face (M/N). "What am I gonna say to him?" she whispered. "I can't hurt him."

(M/N) was stressed enough already. "I don't know, you'll have to think of something. I have to deal with Mum." He quickly went into his room and packed things from his drawers as fast as he could as he heard their parents ascend the stairs. They leave Forks and make their parents understand. He could do this. He just needed to remember the plan.

"Okay, James isn't going to leave us alone, right? So, Edward takes us back. I tell Dad I want to go home to Phoenix, you tell Julie you're coming with me–"

"I don't think that will work," (M/N) interrupted.

"Think of a compelling reason, we have to do this. We'll pack our bags, wait until James is watching, then we run. He should follow us and leave our parents alone. Charlie won't call the FBI, then Edward can take us wherever he wants."

(M/N) considered the plan. "Yeah, I guess it sounds plausible. But how will we know James is there?"

"We'll just have to hope he's there. If not, maybe he'll still catch our scent trailing away from the house and follow us anyway." Bella turned to Edward. "What do you think?"

Edward clearly wasn't happy about staying, but he could see they wouldn't budge. "Fine. But we're leaving tonight. Whether James sees you or not. You tell your parents you can't stay in Forks another minute, whatever story works. You have ten minutes, then you get in your truck, and drive away. Understand?"

"Then what?" (M/N) asked.

"I'll be watching the whole time." Edward pulled out his phone. "I'll get Emmett to come as well."

(M/N) and Bella nodded to each other. "Okay. We can do this."

Charlie was banging on Bella's door, his angry voice carrying down the hall.

"Bella, what happened? Did he hurt you? Break up with you?"

"No Dad, he didn't hurt me," her voice echoed through the door. "And I broke up with him."

"I thought you liked him?"

"That's why I have to leave. I don't want this. I want to go home."

(M/N) slung his bag over his shoulder and walked out of his room. He was stopped by Julie.

"(M/N), what's going on? Why are... are you leaving as well?"

He couldn't stand the sadness in her voice. Charlie looked over at them. (M/N) couldn't bring himself to outright lie. It would hurt too much, and the look on his mother's face was bad enough. So he told them something in line with the truth.
