I walked in the woods. Charlie and Renée wouldn't even know that I was missing. Maybe they'd be happy. I mean, they did have Skylar now. The perfect son they always wanted. I was the rebellious daughter. I just need to leave. I took all the money I had which was over 2,000 dollars in cash, my phone, a backpackers with half my clothes which wasn't a lot, and a ticket to Forks, Washington. No one would look for me there. Hopefully I can hide for a little bit and then go on the run again. I know that I wouldn't start school. As I went to the bus station, I gave them my ticket and quickly got on the bus. I can't let anyone see me. Everyone knows me. But, usually I'm not out and about with my family. I put my hood from my hoodie over my head and fell asleep. When I woke up, a pixie like girl was tapping my shoulder.
"Miss. Wake up. We have reached Forks." she said.
I got up and said thanks. As I got out, I saw everything. Thank God I packed sweatpants and long sleeved shirts. My friend Abby lives here. I met her one year at camp. She was three years older than me. She's 21 right now. I saw her at the store and ran up to her. She saw me and hugged me.
"Bella! OMG! What are you doing here?!" she asked.
"I ran away." I replied.
"Why would you do that?" she asked.
"My parents don't care about me anymore. So, can I live here with you?" I replied.
She smiled and took my bag and put it in her car. We drove past a set of houses until we reached hers. It was a two story house and next to it was a three story house. Wow! Those people must be rich. Abby grabbed my bag and we walked into her house.
"Abby! Where have you been?" a man asked.
"Sorry Jacob. I had to pick up my friend Bella." Abby replied.
Jacob came out with a one year old in his arms. Abby had a kid? OMG!
"Bella, this is my husband Jacob and our daughter Amelia." Abby said.
"Pleasure to meet you Bella." Jacob said.
"You too." I said.
Abby lead me up to the guest room. She hugged me and then walked out.
"Oh! Bells, I have some extra clothes if you need some and we're ordering pizza." she said.
"Alright." I told her.
She smiled and went downstairs. I sighed and sat on the bed. Her neighbors had at least five kids. Jacob came up with some of Abby's old clothes. I said thanks and he left. I really wish my parents don't find me.

It was 4 am and I had a bad dream. I got up and opened the window. I breathed in and out and repeated the process. Then, at the other house, a boy opened his door.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Bella Swan. I'm a friend of Abby's." I replied.
"Ahhh, you're the famous Bella that Abby talks about." he said.
"I'm not that famous." I said.
"Well, I'm Edward Cullen. Abby's neighbor." he said.
"Nice to meet you Edward." I said.
"Nice to meet you too." he told me.
"So, why are up at 4 am?" I asked.
"I couldn't sleep. What are you doing up?" he replied.
"Bad dream." I said.
We talked until 5 am and then he went off to bed and so did I. Abby came in at around 7 and woke me up. She got me up and I showered and got dressed.
"What are we doing today?" I asked.
"We're going to visit Esme Cullen and her two adopted daughters Alice and Rosalie." Abby replied.
I nodded. She grabbed Amelia from Jacob and we walked over to the neighbors. Abby was treating me like her daughter or sister. She smiled and gave me a side hug. At least her and Jacob cared about me unlike Charlie and Renée. As Abby knocked on the door, an older boy answered it.
"Hey Abby. Who's the girl?" he asked.
"Hi Emmett. And this here is my friend Bella." Abby replied.
"Pleasure to meet you Bella. I'm Emmett Cullen." Emmett said.
I shook his hand and we walked into the house. There was the short haired pixie girl from the bus station and two blondest. Then, there was Edward eating at the counter.
"I'm telling you dad, there's something wrong with our cousin Tanya. Kate even thinks so." Edward said.
Abby walked into the kitchen and everyone stared at me and Edward smiled.
"Who's this Abby?" a women asked.
"Esme, this is my friend Bella. She's staying with me for a while." Abby replied.
"Hello Bella. The little pixie looking girl is Alice, she's 19. My daughter-in-law Rosalie is the blonde, she's 20. My son Edward, the one eating cereal, he's 19. Him and Alice are twins. The other blonde Jasper, he's Alice's fiancé, and he's 21. And then, Emmett, he's 22. Then my husband Carlisle is the doctor of the house." Esme said.
I was greeted by all of them and Esme made us some breakfast. Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice left for work. Edward and Rosalie help Esme out around the house everyday.
"So, how long are you staying with Abby?" Rosalie asked.
"For as long as she wants Rose." Abby replied.
"Well, we're going bowling tomorrow night. Would you llike to come?" Edward asked.
"Sure. I'd love to." I replied.
Esme smiled as her and Abby went upstairs. Edward, Rosalie, and I went to the living room and watched some T.V.
"So, why are you living with Abby if you're 18?" Edward asked.
"I needed to leave Phoenix. My parents aren't looking for me that's for sure." I replied.
"Why?" Rosalie asked.
"Well, my mom had my baby brother about three years ago, and they basically forgot about me until dinner time." I replied.
"So, you basically ran away." Edward said.
"Yea. So, I'm staying here unless they look for me." I said.
We finished that conversation as Esme and Abby came back down. We had to leave and when I got home, there was a new text from Renée.
Where the hell are you young lady? You are so grounded when we find you. We will check every state if possible. I will even track your phone down! Isabella Marie Swan! You can run but you can't hide forever. -Your Mother.
I took out the battery and ran down to Abby. She took me to the phone store and they traded my phone in for a new one. I had a new number and everything. I turned my old phone back on and sent it to Maine. Hopefully that would buy me some time for right now.
