The next hour felt like five. Time ticked by slowly and my throat felt like fire. Each time I was made to breath, the glorious scent of the boy's blood hit me like a slap in the face. I so desperately wanted to see Edward and the scent got harder to bare. Even after pinching my nose and not breathing like Edward had done with me I could still smell the boy. I tried to distract myself with thoughts of home and Renesmee but it didn't work. My mind could not seem to think of anything but tasting the boy's blood but I managed to fight back temptation. Time slowly began to finally fasten and break time grew nearer. I snuck a quick glance at the boys face. He was attractive for a human and rather tall. A girl called Ellen would not leave him alone!
After a while of listening to conversations that he was having with his friends, I found out his name. It was Bennett. I couldn't help but wish that he had never been born. I thought that the lesson would never end and just when I thought that it never would the bell went. I breathed in a sigh of relief but regretted it when once again fire flew down my throat. Before I could do anymore damage to the furniture I glided out of the room. Edward was already there and I grabbed his concrete hand and pulled him away so that we could talk. He sensed that something was wrong and as soon as we were safely in the corner of the school playing field he pulled me around to face him and I swallowed.
"Bella, what is it, what's bothering you?" He asked in a troubled tone. I couldn't think of what to say or how to get the words out right so instead I took off my shield and let him into my mind. My eyes locked into his and I waited for his reaction. Unexpectedly he threw his arms around me and I put my head on his shoulder.
"Edward I'm so sorry" I cried. "He was….." Edward then put his hand across my mouth and I stopped.
"Bella it's ok, there is nothing that you could have done about it, I swear it's not you're fault." Deep down I knew that he was right but I just couldn't think it now. I kept my shield off and told him that I was ok and that he didn't need to worry. Then he surprised me by saying that we would leave right away.
"But Edward, I don't want to mess everyone about I mean Carlisle has got a new job, Esme loves the house and we are near enough to Forks so that Jacob can interact with Sam and so that he can see Leah." He stared at me for a moment and shook his head.
"Bella, I don't want you to be in pain and we would be willing to do anything that would make you comfortable." He said. I opened my mouth to speak but he stopped me and led me away. I turned around to see three students walking around the field. We carried on walking and he said "It's not safe to talk now, we can hold a meeting when we get home and decide what to do then." He paused and carried on to say "Bella I'm not going to let you suffer just because this is a convenient place for everyone else."
The rest of the day went quickly and I did not see Bennett again. Edward made sure that wherever we went he was not around.
