Bella stood at the edge of the woods by her fathers home she once shared with him. Smiling softly as he watched him cut the wood for the fireplace as Sue watched on giggling as he struck the wood and barely made a dent. They laughed and talked like they were the happiest in the world. Sue loved her father, she could see it in her eyes. It had been almost seven years since Harry had passed and she was finally moving on. They had been together for the last four years and spoke about marriage but Charlie had yet to ask her. He wasn't the type to just come out and ask, he was more reserved and she felt he'd need a nudge to pop that question. Remaining quiet as she watched them, a pain entered her chest and her smile faded.
She knew it was only a matter of time before she had to leave again, this time permanently. How was she going to tell Charlie? How? Permanently, he wouldn't allow that. She could no longer risk their safety. It had to be done, but she continued to put it off. Carlisle had called for a family meeting at the end of the week, everyone had to decide where they were going because word was spreading like wildfire about the incident at the Reunion. Alice had managed to divert attention to announcing to the townspeople that Bella had an immune deficiency issue and that Mike's blood had made her faint. She wasn't lunging for Mike she was falling over when Edward caught her, not restrained her. That was the story and they were sticking to it as much as possible.
Charlie looked happy, he would be well taken care of with Sue. She'd see him again...right?
Maybe....and that's what scared her.
