Mid, Annie, Missy and K rock! So do you guys! So does the lady that owns this all! Clearly I suck at posting schedules. So you're getting another chapter.
"What do you mean you aren't coming home?"
"I'm sorry, there's no time. I have three papers due the week after the break. I'm pretty swamped."
"But, Edward. I miss you."
"I miss everyone too. But I can't come. I'm sorry."
"But…"
"I gotta go, I'm sorry, but I'm just too busy. I'll see you at Christmas."
It wasn't until after he'd hung up that I realized he hadn't said he missed me specifically. He said he missed "everyone."
And he didn't even tell me he loved me.
I spent most of my Thanksgiving break avoiding friends who had come home from college. I didn't want to hang around with Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett and be the fifth wheel. Edward and I always went out with them together, as a trio of couples, and it was weird without him home.
When my dad questioned why I wasn't hanging out with my friends, I just told him I was busy with work and my courses. I didn't want to let him see how hurt I was. His relationship with Edward had always been tenuous at best, and I didn't want to do anything to hurt it further.
I had enough problems.
