Chapter Ten: The First Time They Fought
Thursday Evening
The point in a movie where the characters are worn out and worried and just on the brink of collapse is all I can hear taking place around me. The sound of angry words laced with worry being spewed at those who don't deserve them. But that is how we operate; we take our worries and frustrations out on those that are close and readily available.

Edward. He is staring at me with blazing eyes as I am sure I am doing the same to him. It has been about three months since I learned of my acceptance to dental school at OHSU and my rejection from UW, and nothing seems to have been going right since.
"I don't get why you won't talk to me Bella." Edward stated exasperated as he ran his hand through his already disheveled hair.
"I—because I can't." And that is the truth, I can't. It has been a little less than a month since Edward and I confessed our love for each other and since then, my biggest fear has been losing him.
"You can't?" He asked, eyes blazing. "That is rich Bella."
"What do you expect me to say, Edward?" I yelled at him.
"Anything. I just expect you to open your mouth and say something."
"I don't think I want this anymore." I said as my eyes started to well up with tears.
"This? You don't want this anymore? Are you breaking up with me Bella?" Edward asked as I could see the hurt forming in his eyes.
"No. Dental school."
"Why would you say something like that Bella?" Edward muttered. "You have wanted to be an orthodontist since you were in the 8th grade, why would you want to give it all up now, everything you have accomplished?"
"Because I found something that means more to me than all of that." I said not fully believing the words. Was I really willing to give everything I had dreamed of for my future to stay in Seattle where things were comfortable?
"Bella what could possibly be more important than your future?" Edward asked with a hint of disapproval lacing his expression.
"You."
"Bella, I will not be the reason you don't go to school. You will hate me for it later, you will go to school, and we will visit each other as often as humanly possible. It will all work out in the end; you just have to believe in us." Edward said as he pulled me in.
"I'm scared." I whispered into Edward's chest.
"Me too." He said rubbing soothing circles on my back.
