Chapter 3

The next morning came, and the dull light seeping through the cloud cover only made me miss Edward more. When he was around, it seemed like the rain was practically falling glitter, and on the few ocasions when it stopped, Edward's body sparkling with the light of the sun more than made up for it all. I dragged myself out of my bed, put on dull, ragged, baggy grey sweatpants that looked like they had been through the laundry twelve too many times. They fit my depression perfectly. On the top, I wore a huge black sweatshirt that said "I vant to suck your blood" on the chest, that Alice had given me as a joke that summer. It didn't seem so funny anymore. I didn't bother wearing anything underneath it, except a bra.

Once I went downstairs and into the kitchen, I began to prepare myself breakfast. Carefully avoiding the cupboard with the Count Chocula in it, in order to spare myself another break down, I carefully opened another cupboard and pulled out a box of Fruit Brute. Going over to the fridge to get some milk, I reached in to grab the carton, when all of the sudden I saw an apple through the glass of the fruit drawer. It was the same one I had kissed last night. Just thinking of it made me embarrased, but I had been really sad. (AN: See? She was really sad, so she did something a little silly.) It's shiny surface still reminded me of Edward's perfect, rosy lips. I pulled it out of the fruit drawer and looked at it for a little while, but this time I ristrained myself and put it back. After pouring the milk and eating my cereal mechanicly, I put on my backpack and headed to school. Maybe my best friends could cheer me up, but I doubted that anything short of Edward's return could do that. It was worth a try though.

As I walked in to the school, I saw two of my friends, Crescent and Belladonna (AN: These are our OCs!) standing by the entrance. They looked totally shocked to see me. After all, I barely went to school these days, except to take tests and stuff. But I just continued walking towards them, my face set resolvedly to try to avoid tears. "Hey Bella!" Belladonna said cautiously, her goldenrod eyes glued intent on my features. "Hi Donna." I said gloomily. To avoid confusion, since our names were so similar, we always called Belladonna, Donna, when the two of us were together.

"Not that it's not great to see you out and about or anything, but what are you doing here?" Crescent asked wearily. I shrugged nonchalontly.

"It seemed like the right thing to do." I muttered. Crescent and Donna nodded knowingly. Donna flipped her waist length blood red hair over her shoulder as we walked in the doors of the school. After a minute, I said "Charlie and me got in to an argument last night." This peaked their interest, because they knew that I hadn't been talking to him.

"Really? About what?" Donna asked curiosly.

"He was yelling at me about 'my Edward problem', I said. "He said I should just give up on him now."

"That's cray!" Crescent proclaimed. "You LOVE Edward! So what if he dissapeared? He's your Soul Mate!"

"I KNOW!" I replied forcefully. "But Charlie always hated Edward, and now he's determined to take me away from him."

"Why don't you prove that it's not over?" Crescent said. "Yeah!" Donna added. "We should totally run away from this lame school and go find Edward!"

I froze. I really didn't want to go, that would be so hard to bear. "I don't know…" I tried. "I don't want to break any huge rules. That would dissapoint my dad, and we're already on bad terms." I imediately broke away from my friends and started walking quickly to class. I felt awful lying to my friends like that, but talking about it only made me ache for Edward's strong, cool, embrace.

Eventually, I got to math, my last class of the day, and took out my books. Even though the teacher was talking about triganometry, the thoughts floating through my brain were like earplugs, blocking the teacher's dull voice out of my brain. If Edward were here, he would have told me everything about trig after class was over. Without him, I would have to settle for a D, but the annoyence of my faultering grades paled in comparison to the terrible pain of the hole in my heart that existed without Edward. I began to jot down some notes about trig, but the information I was trying to write down kept slipping away from me, like slowly-moving droplets of water in a freshwater spring. It reminded me of Edward.

Finally, after what felt like endless hours of waiting that made my brain shrivel up like a raisin in bathwater, the bell rang and I was finally able to leave school. Finally, I thought, with a mental sigh. I walked over to my locker to put away my books, and I saw Crescent and Donna waiting for me there.

Donna said, "Bella, we've been talking, and we think that you should really go out and try to find your Edward." "Yeah," Crescent added, "you just aren't the same without him, and we think that is super bad."

"I can't believe you guys!" I sulked. "I said I don't want to do it! "

"But, Bella," Donna said, "doesn't Edward mean more to you than anything else in the world?!"

"YES!" I shouted back. "But I… you… GAH!" I put my books in the locker and slammed it shut violetly. "Why won't you just leave me alone!" I ran off, sobbing, because I hated yelling at my best friends, but they just couldn't understand how I felt.

By the time I got to the door, the area was completely desserted, since everyone had already gone home. I walked out the door and stepped into the desserted parking lot, when suddenly, out of nowhere, jumped...

JACOB BLACK!
