" Edward I said leave me alone! " Bella shouts and shuts the door in front of him.

I swallowed the lump in my throat when it caught Dad's attention, he closed the TV and stood from the couch. Turning to me and Bella with a worried look on his face

" Hey hey hey, what's wrong? What's happening? " he asked and caught my arms. Making me turn and face him.

Dad was the first person I grew closer with

I couldn't say any words that I know will hurt his feelings. It's not me who's gonna do it, it's not me who's gonna break his trust

" w-were leaving " Bella replied and grabbed my hand

pulling me with her upstairs as she couldn't face Dad. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I didn't look back and rushed upstairs to my room to start packing my clothes

I'm doing this for his safety.

I grab my bag and begin shoving my clothes inside, hearing Dad's voice downstairs talking to Bella. I gasped when Emmett appeared inside my room using the window to get in.

" where's Carlisle? " I asked, my voice coming out shaking as he helped me back my things.

"Dad's talking to someone in the house, he sent me to protect you " Emmett replies as I zip my bag and turn to him

" go, we'll meet you outside," I said, he listened and sent me a nod.

In a second he was gone, I took a deep breath and headed back downstairs, where Dad was already waiting for me.

I was trying to avoid him but it was no use. I carried the bag with its strap on my shoulder as Dad stopped me from going anywhere as he stood where I was heading.

" you're leaving? " He asked

my heart breaking into pieces when hearing the sadness in his voice.

I took a deep breath and clenched my hand into a fist, trying to fight my tears from spilling

"I-It for the best Dad " I replied, forcing my voice to not break as Dad grabbed my trembling hands, making me look up and meet his painful gaze

" but I just got you back," He says.

I shook my head and tried to walk away, in any second I couldn't control myself anymore from crying in front of him.

Until I froze in my spot when Dad hugged me tightly

" P-Please, don't leave me alone here Stella. You're the only person I have left in here. What's wrong? Tell me and I'll help you out. Remember what I told you when you were young? I used to tell you I'll protect you even in the toughest time because I'm your dad. Now don't go without talking to me anything about it " He continues, his voice breaking in the end as I pull away from his arms

" D-Dad, I want to leave. Staying here will affect me deeper " I said, trying to get away.

" I failed you and Bella, didn't I? S-Stella if it's about me, I know I failed to love and protect you and Bella since years ago. But I keep trying every day, because look, I just got you two back. I-'m trying to be the Dad you deserve "

No one deserves to see their own Dad crying in front of them. Because words couldn't express how hurtful I am right now

" it's for the better " I choked.

Wishing he could understand the reason why I was doing this for him.

" no, it's not, it's not Stella. T-Tell me where I was not enough, come on. Tell me what part I couldn't give you as a Dad, and I promise you I'll try to be better for you next time "

I look up at him with tears rolling down my cheek, Dad cries. Letting my hand go as he used his hand to wipe his tears.

" Dad, there's nothing about you that is not enough. And there's nothing that you should try to be the perfect dad in the world. Because you already are " I cried silently

"Then don't leave me alone here," He said, causing me to look down at the floor.

I couldn't say anything else but shook my head, I rushed past him as Dad shouted my name to stop me from going.

I place my trembling hands on the doorknob, ready to leave, and cry it all out without him seeing me. But his words made me stop in my tracks

" P-Please " Dad begs

" I'm sorry " I whispered in the air and shut the door behind me.

The moment it closed, tears spilled from my eyes. My vision was blurry as I nearly tripped onto the ground. Wishing to go back inside and hug my dad.

Emmett rushed to me and helped me with my bag, he helped me go inside his car and shut the door.

"he gonna forgive you, momma bear. Don't worry " He says

trying to reassure me as I shake my head. Remembering Dad's painful expression in my head

" Remember, you and Bella are doing this to keep him safe and protected. I know it's hard to leave him but, we'll come back " Emmett continues.

I sniffled and took a deep breath, not saying another word because of the guilt I was feeling inside of me.

When the car stopped in front of their house, we immediately walked out and headed to the front door.

But we stopped in our tracks when I saw Laurent with Carlisle, Edward let out a growl and immediately protected Bella. As Carlisle glanced at me and placed his hand as a surrender

" I'm not here to fight. I just want to warn you about James " Laurent begins.

I glanced at Emmett as Edward didn't leave beside Bella.

As Laurent gave us a warning about James' dangerous thoughts, I found out he was a tracker. And it even made the situation difficult.

When Laurent left we rushed to their garage, Carlisle held my hand.

Pulling me to the corner as he cupped my both cheeks, looking down straightly into my eyes

" go with them, and we'll keep you safe," He says sincerely.

As I placed my hand on his and shook my head

" Carlisle, I can protect myself. I have a gif that I can use to destroy James " I said quietly

" no, you're not even capable yet of using it. Killing a vampire is not easy, we have to shred them into pieces and burn them " Carlisle explained causing me to sigh and look away from him. He placed a kiss on my forehead

" I just want to keep you safe "

I can keep myself safe.
