Hey all, sorry this took longer than I expected! There was indeed a snow day today and my mom got my hair appointment moved to earlier to get it over with before the storm really picked up. You may get another update tonight depending on my mood. And possibly tomorrow but I have to work and study so we'll see!

Previously on College Days..

Edward had a mixture of emotions flashing through his eyes, sadness, anger, regret, remorse.

"Edward…what's wrong.." I asked him, starting to get anxious.

"Bella I have to leave."

My body immediately tensed when he said this. Leave? What does that mean??? My mind was all over the place so I didn't notice that look of curiosity on his face.

"Bella, are you alright?" He asked seeming worried.

"Al-Alright…how can I be alright after what you just said!" I replied. Hearing the crack in my voice.

"Bella! Don't be upset. I only have to go home for a few days, its not big deal." He soothed.

I felt myself getting slightly angry at him for making it seem like a such a big deal. I pulled myself from his grasp, went to my bed and sat down with my arms folded across my chest. He wasn't getting away with it this time.

"Idiot" Alice mumbled before going back to her pizza.

Edward cross the little space to my bed and stood in front of me. When he finally realized I wasn't going to look at him he bent down on one knee making us eye level. He took my hand in his and said,

"Isabella please don't be mad at me, the only reason I made it seem like a big deal is because it is a big deal, to me. I hate leaving you for any amount of time." I finally turned my head to his and saw that his emerald eyes were absolutely smouldering.

I realized that maybe I was overreacting, because I too didn't want to be away from him either. I battled with myself in my mind, contemplating saying to him those three words that I always kept to myself. Why not? Why not let him know how I feel? Why was I resisting it so much. So what if he didn't say them back, and my heart was shattered, maybe then I would really know if we were meant to be. I realized it would be uncomfortable with Alice there but when I looked over at where she was I noticed she had left. I inwardly thanked my best friend for knowing to give us a moment.

It was then I realized that Edward was still on his knee staring at me, waiting for me to respond. I took a deep breath and steadied myself as I took both of his hands in mine. I stared deep into his eyes and sad,

"Edward, there is something that I need to tell you."

I noticed that he looked a bit apprehensive, thinking that it was bad news. I smiled at him to try and reassure him and he returned it, although I could tell he was still apprehensive.

"Edward, I love you. Im not sure why it has taken me this long to tell you, seeing as how I have loved you since I met you. I think I finally realized that if you don't love me back I can deal with it, sure it'll hurt me and it'll take some time but .."

I realized I had started babbling with I felt him take my head in his hands. He stared right back into my eyes and said,

"Bella, you do not know how long I have been waiting to hear you say that. I love you too, with all of my heart and more. I didn't think that I would ever find someone I wanted to be with as much as I want to be with you. I will never stop loving you."

I felt a tear slide down my cheek. I felt silly with all my insecurities, thinking that it wasn't possible for him to love someone like me, but as he said it I felt it. I felt it radiating from him to me and it was the best feeling I have ever felt in my life. I wrapped my arms around him and buried my head in his chest, revelling in his warmth.

Although I wanted to stay in this moment forever, I realized that he never did tell me why he had to leave. It brought a frown to my face when I thought about him leaving me for any amount of time. He noticed this.

"Bella, whats wrong?" he asked, a frown also ruining his beautiful face.

"You didn't tell me why you have to leave. I was just thinking that I don't want you to leave is all." I replied.

"Oh that. Well my father wants me to come home for a few days and meet a famous doctor that is making a guest appearance at my father's hospital. Seeing as how I also want to be a doctor some day my father thought that this would be a good opportunity for me. But don't worry, I'll only be gone for a few days." he said.

"oh" was all I could say. How could I be so selfish? Here I was not wanting him to leave when this is something important for his future. I internally scolded myself.

"Im so sorry Edward, Im so selfish to react like that, I don't know whats wrong with me" I finally replied.

"Oh Bella, your not selfish. I, too, want to stay with you and if this wasn't so important I wouldn't go. I hope you understand." he says.

"Of course I understand! You need to do what you need to do. Although I will miss you terribly, but you'll be back eventually." I said while pulling him onto the bed with me.

He answered with his dazzling smile. He kissed my forehead and we snuggled into each other. I hadn't realized how sleepy I actually was but soon enough I had fallen asleep with Edward's arms around me, which is exactly where I wanted to stay.

Today was the day. Edward would be flying back to Forks for 3 days and 2 nights. Even though I knew he would be back, there was something in me that he owned and that he took away every time he left me, this being no exception. I put on my very best supportive girlfriend front and accompanied him to the airport. Everyone else had said goodbye to him at the dorms, but he wanted me to drive his car back so I went along.

The inevitable came and we said our goodbyes at security. He pulled me into him and whispered in my ear,

"Goodbye for now Bella, I love you."

The only thing I could get out was a breathy "I love you too" back into his ear.

It finally came time to let me go and he departed, going through security to the waiting area.

I drove his Volvo back to the dorms. I went straight to my dorm and curled up and took a nap.

I was strong, I could do this. I felt so silly acting like this, he was only going to be gone a few day, pull yourself together Bella.

Several hours later I awoke due to the rise and fall of pressure on my bed. I sat up groggily to find an over-eager Alice bouncing up and down on my bed. This couldn't be good.

"Bellllaaaa" She whined. "Get up, we're going to the movies!!"

"Ugh Alice, go without me, I don't want to be a third or 5th wheel!" I sighed.

"Isabella Marie Swan, get your butt out of this bed. You are not going to be miss mopey because Edward is gone for a few days. Now get up and go fix yourself, your outfit is ready and in the bathroom.

I groaned in defeat , got up, and made my way to the bathroom. This was going to be a long night.

I don't think this is very long but I felt like it was dragging. Hm.

Im not quite sure what I have gotten myself into with this story but I cant seem to think of anything exciting to do with it. Any suggestions? If someone can give me a good one I'll write it and post it tonight!
