I figure I should give you an insight to what happened with Angela and Ben. So, here ya go.

A.P.O.V.
I was relieved by Bella's news. I mean, I wasn't glad she was almost killed, but the guy who raped her, and tried to kill her was caught. They got him! He's going to jail!
I stood up from the bench I was on. I had five minutes to get to my next class, and it was on the other side of campus. I hitched my bag up on my shoulder, and started across the grass. I was half way to the building my class was in when I saw them.
Ben, and Madison, his girlfriend.
Madison was just shorter than him, and had a petite frame. She had shoulder length, straight blonde hair, and a bit of a tan. As much as I hated admitting it, she was beautiful, and smart.
I continued walking, trying not to look at them. I tried to keep the thoughts of what happened out of my head but I couldn't. The memories of our break up just came to me as I continued across the grass.
`~flashback~`
I had just gotten back from Bella's house. She was five months along, and had just found out that she was having a girl. She invited me over to tell me. I was so glad for her. But, I also felt bad.
She had the burden of being pregnant at eighteen. When she found out, she dropped out of school. Chief Swan wasn't happy, but he understood. A baby is a lot to handle.
I had been going over there every weekend. I had helped her find a house, which her family was now working on, and other stuff, like the shopping for stuff. It limited my time with Ben, but Bella needed me.
I had left my phone at home. when I got there, and navigated my way through all the boxes in my room, I found it. I had boxes because I needed to start packing my stuff in a couple weeks. I had just under two months until school started.
I picked up my phone, and saw I had one new message. It was from Ben. He said he needed to talk to me, and to call him when I got home. I dialed his number, and waited for him to pick up. I sat down while waiting.
"Ang?" He asked when I answered.
"You said you wanted to talk?" I asked him.
"Yeah..."
"About what?" He sighed.
"I'm not gonna beat around the bush." He took a breathe. "I'm breaking up with you."
"What? Why?" I asked, shocked.
"We haven't been spending enough time together. You're always at Bella's house." He said. I didn't say anything. I thought he had understood.
After a minute of me not saying anything, I heard a click, then the dial tone. He had hung up on me. Then, the tears started flowing.
`~flashback~`
Next time I saw Ben, a couple days later, he was already with Madison. I couldn't believe that he had moved on so quickly.
When I told Bella that we had broken up, I said it was because there was someone else in his life. I didn't want to tell her it was because I was spending so much time with her. She would feel bad, and she didn't need that then. Maybe I would tell her one day. Or, maybe not.
I reached the building just before Ben and Madison. Ben was in my class, Madison had class a couple rooms down.
"Hey Ang." Ben said from behind me. He had said when I had seen him that first time after we broke up that he wanted us to be friends. But, I didn't, and so I ignored him.
I entered the classroom, and sat down. Ben, and I were some of the first ones there. Just like in high school, before class people were usually visiting each others desks. Ben tried talking to me at this time at first, but gave up when he didn't get any response. When i heard the chair pull out next to me ,I figured it was Ben, seeing as Matt, who sat next to me, was always late, or didn't show up. when I looked up, though, and it wasn't Ben, or Matt. It was Justin, a kid in my class who was pretty popular, and played on the football team. He's from Seattle.
"Hey. Angela, right?" He said whe nhe saw he had my attention.
"Yeah. And you're Justin." I said.
"Yep. Hey, my friends having a party tonight, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me?" He asked, straight out. Usually, I wouldn't go to parties. But, when I looked past Justin, I saw Ben.
It was with vengance when I answered him with, "I'd love too."
"Great. I'll meet you outside the dorms at eight?"
"Okay." The bell rang then, and he headed back to his seat. Ben was still looking at me as I turned to face the front again, a smile on my face. He moved on, and so could I.
