Chapter 1:Hating him, Loving him
Bella awoke from yet another nightmare, screaming out the same name as she always screamed after a nightmare.
EDWARD.
"Are you alright, Bells?" Maria, her college room-mate, asked her. Maria was woken up constantly by Bella's screaming, but she always made sure her best friend was alright. Maria had moved to Forks just after Edward had left, and she and Bella had become instant bezzies. Bella had been sitting alone at a lunch table every day since he had left, and Maria had went to go and sit next to her. Bella had told Maria everything about it, and Maria in turn had told Bella all about her parents' divorce. They had been best friends ever since.
"Sorry Marie. I just had that stupid dream again. You know…" Marie did know. It had been three years since Edward had left Bella, and she had never gotten over it. Edward had been forced to leave her when his family had moved to Perth, in Scotland, for his dad's job. Edward had wanted her to forget him, he didn't deserve her, he said. He said that he wanted her to get over him, get a boyfriend, and never speak of him again. He said that he would try and forget her. Bella had said that she hated him for that. He could have said something a bit more helpful, just said goodbye. But instead he broke her heart. But Marie and her both knew that she would forgive him in an instant, just to have him back in her life, as a friend or whatever else. Little did they know that that chance would come sooner than expected…

He came towards me, a beautiful woman under his arm. I screamed to him, running as fast as I could.
"Edward, Edward!" Tears were flowing down my cheeks."I knew you would come back for me!" But as I approached him, I saw that both he and the woman were laughing.
"Poor, Poor, Bella! Was somebody crying herself to sleep at night?" He scoffed at me."That's why I left you. You're just so pathetic!" He laughed as the girl started screeching at me.
"Pathetic…that's why he's with me!" She produced her left hand with a diamond ring on it…an engagement ring.
I woke up screaming his name. He hated me, he must do, or he wouldn't have left me like that. I miss him so much though. My dreams showed that. I have that one every night. I hate to sleep. That's why I had such good grades in high school; it was because I studied instead of sleeping.
"Are you alright, Bells?" Maria, my best friend and college room-mate asked me. She was such a good friend, always looking out for me. I didn't deserve her.
"Sorry Marie. I just had that stupid dream again. You know…" My voice trailed off as I thought about Edward's amazing green eyes. It had been three years, but I had never forgotten anything about him. That's why me and Marie were here, in Buxton College, more than a hundred miles away from Forks, where both of us have memories we want to get away from.
But never mind all that. Today was my first proper day of College. I and Maria had moved in very early in the holidays, desperate for a new start. Maybe some work will stop my mind from wandering…
