Edward pulled up slowly, staying well back from my truck. All three ofthem were acutely alert, ramrod straight in their seats, listening toevery sound of the wood, looking through every shadow, catching everyscent, searching for something out of place.

"Don’t worry, Bella," he said in a low but cheerful voice, "we’ll takecare of things here quickly."I felt moisture filling up my eyes as I looked at Emmett.

"One more thing," I whispered passionately. "Don’t listen to another wordI say tonight!" He was leaning in, and so all I had to do was stretch upon my toes to kiss his surprised, frozen lips with as much force as I wascapable of. Then I turned and kicked the door open.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed at him through my tears, which were flowingrelentlessly now. I ran up the stairs to my room, throwing the door shutand locking it. I ran to my bed, flinging myself on the floor to retrievemy duffel bag. I reached swiftly between the mattress and box spring tograb the knotted old sock that contained my secret cash hoard.

He spun me around to look at him, and I could see in his face that he hadno intention of letting me leave. I could think of only one way toescape, and it involved hurting him so much that I hated myself for evenconsidering it. But I had no time, and I had to keep him safe.

"I do like him — that’s the problem. I can’t do this anymore! I can’t putdown any more roots here! I don’t want to end up trapped in this stupid,boring town like Mom! I’m not going to make the same dumb mistake shedid. I hate it — I can’t stay here another minute!"His hand dropped from my arm like I’d electrocuted him. I turned awayfrom his shocked, wounded face and headed for the door.

I didn’t turn around. "I’ll sleep in the truck if I get tired.""Just wait another week," he pled, still shell-shocked. "Renée will beback by then."This completely derailed me. "What?"Charlie continued eagerly, almost babbling with relief as I hesitated.

"She called while you were out. Things aren’t going so well in Florida,and if Phil doesn’t get signed by the end of the week, they’re going backto Arizona. The assistant coach of the Sidewinders said they might have aspot for another shortstop."I shook my head, trying to reassemble my now-confused thoughts. Everypassing second put Charlie in more danger.

"I have a key," I muttered, turning the knob. He was too close, one handextended toward me, his face dazed. I couldn’t lose any more time arguingwith him. I was going to have to hurt him further.

"Just let me go, Charlie." I repeated my mother’s last words as she’dwalked out this same door so many years ago. I said them as angrily as Icould manage, and I threw the door open. "It didn’t work out, okay? Ireally, really hate Forks!"My cruel words did their job — Charlie stayed frozen on the doorstep,stunned, while I ran into the night. I was hideously frightened of theempty yard. I ran wildly for the truck, visualizing a dark shadow behindme. I threw my bag in the bed and wrenched the door open. The key waswaiting in the ignition.
