College sweethearts.

Chapter 1 – Making Up.

'Bella, look what I made in nursery.' Alice came running in the family room. I tried to smile but I couldn't keep it.

Alice was Edwards' brother, she was his favourite sibling, you could tell. She was 5 and already had beautiful long shiny brown hair, which always appeared wavy. Edward also had two other siblings, they were both boys, Emmett was the oldest [second to Edward], he was 17, with a big build and short brownish hair, then there was Jasper, who was the youngest boy of 15, he was small and slim, with curly blonde hair, he was the shyest member of the family. When Jasper first met me four months ago, he wouldn't talk to me for nearly 4 hours. I think he is just worried I was leading Edward away from his family; Japer and Edward were the closest.

Things just weren't the same anymore, without Edward it was pointless.

'That's brilliant, Alice.' She was holding up a balloon model, with a beautiful use of colours. She showed me a sad smile.

'Don't worry, Bella. He'll be back, he's my brother.' I gave her a knowing nod as she came to hug me, but nothing could feel the void that was left. It had been 3 days since our argument and I hadn't seen him since, I know he just needs time, but I need him here with me. I sounded so selfish thinking this.

'I know, sweetheart.' I smiled as I stroked her long brown hair.

'Then why sad, Bella?' she asked. She was only young, I wasn't sure she understood.

'Alice, honey, when people are in a relationship, like me and Edward, it hurts to be away from each other.' I tried to explain.

'I know, Bella, I love Edward but I know you love him in a different way. Mommy said everything happens for a reason, but she doesn't know this reason, and that seems silly because mommy knows everything.' She looked so cute stood there, with her hands on her hips. I laughed and kissed her cheek. I started to make my way upstairs.

I longed to be in Edwards' arms, but he just wasn't here and it was killing me.

I needed him to come back soon; we were due to return to college tomorrow.

I must have fallen asleep as I was awoken by my favourite view. Edward. Edward was here. He was sad and had been crying.

I forgot about the argument, I forgot we were mad with each other. I pulled him into my arms, the arms which I missed so much wound around my shoulder and pulled me towards the warmth of his body. We didn't say anything. Nothing needed to be spoken, these actions were clearer than any words.

He could keep quiet forever though.

'Bella?' he asked as I slowly raised my head to look at the beautiful face I've missed so much, 'I am so sorry,' he continued when I looked at him, 'I didn't mean to go off like that. I would have come back but I was giving you time.' I laughed.

'What, babe?' he asked, seeming confused, 'I was giving you time, Edward. I love you.' We both laughed and he titled my head back and kissed me.

He licked his lips, 'I've missed those lips.' He smiled. I giggled.

'I love you' was the last words I heard before I fell asleep in Edwards' strong arms.
