CHAPTER 2: HORRIBLE MORNINGS
EPOV
"Hey Em…" I walked down the stairs towards the kitchen where my adoptive brother, Emmett, was eating his breakfast. "…don't wait up for me. I'll come in a little late"
"Hiding from someone eh, Edward?" Emmett sang while shoving food in his mouth.
"Shut up dickhead" I glared at him knowing full well who he was talking about. He looked at me then laughed.
"Anyway gotta go, wouldn't want to keep my girl waiting." He brushed past me and went out the door.
I sighed then went upstairs to my room to get dressed. I grabbed my keys and headed out the door.

7:50. The clock on my dash read. It was as if screaming that I will be late on my first day of school. I left my apartment 20 minutes ago and Julia was right. The traffic here in New York didn't change one bit.
But weird as it may sound, I missed this. I missed the noise of horns honking, the clutter of footsteps on the sidewalk, driving my car through the narrow streets and everything else about New York.
Good and even bad.
I've been gone for almost a year studying at Germany. Our school had an exchange program and I was lucky enough to be chosen by Mr. Cooper, our principal. He asked me if I was willing to go seeing that I qualify for having excellent grades and with a visa to Germany. I said yes in a heartbeat. I packed my stuff, told Charlie, Alice and Julia where I was going then left for Germany.
I was first unsure if I made the right decision. But two things I was certain.
One, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and two, which sealed my decision, I was running away from Jacob Black.
A week before I left for Germany, I caught him in bed with none other than Tanya Denali. It came as a shock to me because right before that happened Jacob and I were doing fine. We never have big arguments and we were so happy. At least that's what I thought. But when I saw him in bed, and of all the people, with her, everything just came crashing down.
Tanya always despised me. She was always so envious of me. The attention I get from the male population, the popularity I have, the amount of money we have, being the favorite of our professors and the fact that I was dating Jacob Black, her long time crush.
If only she knew I could care less with of all of that as long as I have Jacob.
I don't think it's my fault that the boys would like me or that the whole student body finds me friendlier than her or that I came from a well-off family or that I have good grades. All I care about is that I have Jacob. It's not my fault that he fell in love with me and not her…right?
So I ran.
I ran from the pain that he have caused me and promised myself that when I came back I would not take shit from anyone anymore. I would be stronger and happier. And I would not allow anyone hurt me anymore.
