Chapter 1 – I Should Be Happy
Angela POV
Leaving my parent's house is always hard, it seems so cruel to leave after such a short time, but I had work in the morning so I guess life isn't always going to be fair. The hardest part every year has to be the goodbye, this year especially so, my parents aren't young, who knows if this is the last time I will ever see them, who knows if this is the last goodbye.
My hands are currently white on the steering wheel, willing myself not to turn around and drive right back. It's Christmas, I should be happy, Bella will be happy, sat in our apartment, having just said goodbye to her Dad.
The intersection is coming up, once I'm through it I just have to drive round the corner and I'm home. The light's on green, so I speed up knowing how quickly the signals can change. My head jerks up at the sound of squealing tyres to my right, no one should be coming from that direction now, I only have time to notice the man sat lazily in the driver's seat; a beer can in his hand.
The impact is immediate, I feel nothing.

Edward POV
Life is good, being a teacher has its perks, it's Christmas, and therefore the schools are off, meaning I am too. I live in a big house, with my gorgeous wife, Lauren; I wouldn't even want to wish for anything else. Speaking of my wife, where is she? I know that women can take a long time to get changed but we need to leave now if we are going to make it to my parent's house on time.
I walk down the hall towards the staircase, ready to shout up that we need to go, but something stops me along the way. The answering machine light is on a constant red. What could be so important that she has to be on the phone on Christmas day? I pick up the receiver fully intent on apologising to whoever she was talking to and telling them she would call back.
"Eric, stop worrying I'll sort it out! He doesn't have to know the full story ok?" Is she actually taking a business call on Christmas day?
"I don't see how you can hide that you're pregnant from him, Lauren, won't the giant baby bump give it away?" Umm what?
"No, we'll be long gone by then, Edward doesn't have to know anything." I can't believe her, how could she do this to me? I slam the receiver down, running upstairs and grabbing my gym bag, I stuff anything I can find into it, my phone charger, some clothes, toothbrush, and deodorant. Lauren stumbles in the room feigning shock.
"Give it up Lauren, I know you heard me on the phone, I know what you've done and I can't stand to be anywhere near you."
I march past her, and stumble down the stairs grabbing my car keys off the table and opening the front door.
"Have a nice life with Eric!" I growl at her as I slam the door behind me. She doesn't even look remotely upset, had she ever loved me? It's Christmas I was supposed to be happy and yet I'm not, my world had just come crashing down within the space of five minutes.
