AN~ So I wanted to start by saying... SORRY SORRY SORRY that I took so long to repost. I know a few of you were nervous that I wasn't going to finish this story. But I am. I had a slight writers block and had to let that work itself out.

Disclaimer~ Unfortunatly for me... I do not own Twilight. But Edward completely owns me!

Chapter 10

Bella POV

(2 Weeks later)

This summer so far has certainly been interesting…

I found out that Sue was a lying gold digger and had kids.

I found out that Edward and Alice were long lost siblings.

I found Edward.

That is hands down the best thing so far about the summer.

Edward.

He left for a few days and my heartfelt completely empty.

We were sitting in the meadow, enjoying our day off together. We found 'our place' last week when we took the campers hiking. It's beautiful, perfectly round and filled with wild flowers. Edward called it our very own heaven on Earth.

Edward looked more like a god sitting under the sun than just a teenage boy. His bronze hair shining in the sun letting the red show. He was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and I examined his face. I could stare at him forever and never get bored. His lips parted slightly as he breathed and all I wanted at that moment was to kiss him.

My gaze traveled lower to his chest. Unfortunately for me it was covered by a blue t shirt that showed the definition of his chest. Slung low on his hips was a pair of faded jeans. He had kicked his converses off when we got here, just like I did.

"What are you thinking about?" Edward asked me taking me out of my thoughts suddenly.

"You." I blushed.

He smirked. "Oh? What about me?"

"I love you." I said looking in his green eyes.

He grinned. "I love you too." I leaned down and kissed his lips. "I really am sorry about taking off on you. But I needed to see her and find out if I was losing it or something. Alice deserved to know."

"Please stop apologizing. But, yes she did need to know. But she also figured it out just minutes after you left. She thought you were going to be mad about it." I said.

"I couldn't be mad at her but I am still furious with my mother. She lied to me about something so big, it makes me wonder what else she lied about." He sighed, frustrated.

"Edward, look at me." I said, grabbing his chin. "Let it go, for Alice. She just found her brother and she doesn't want to hear about how she wasn't wanted. She is happier now than she had been since we got here six weeks ago, and it's not easy for Alice to be happier than she was. You do remember what she was like the first day right?"

He laughed, "I love you. But I have a surprise for you too."

"Oh?"

"Carlisle said that he would support me taking a year off as long as I work and I have to get my own apartment."

"Really? So where have you been looking?"

"Oh very close to you."

I looked at him like he was insane. "As in I will be attending the University of California in the following fall and that is 45 minutes closer to you than my dad's house. We can start college together."

I was speechless. Edward wanted to be closer to me, that meant that this 'summer fling' was going to last longer than the summer. I was floored; I jumped out of my seat and slammed into Edward's chest, kissing him all over his sexy face.

"I will take that as your happy." He laughed.

I nodded like a psycho. "I couldn't be happier, I love you and I was beginning to freak out about the Midsummer Night Festival. It's only a few days away and that means summer is almost half over. It's going too fast."

"I know what you mean. But summer doesn't have to end us. I want to be with you. I know you have a year of high school left but I won't be far away." He said before kissing me soundly.

When we got back to the camp, Mrs. Cope was waiting for me. She was smiling but I could tell that what she had to say had to be important.

"Isabella, I have been looking everywhere for you." She smiled.

"Well today is my day off so Edward and I spent the day at the meadow." I responded.

"Oh, that's nice. I hope you had a good day." She said smiling at Edward. This woman really smiled way, way too much.

He nodded. "You needed to tell Bella something?"

That's right, Edward. Make her get to the point.

"Yes, your father called just a little while ago and said that a Melinda would be here Monday to pick you up, dear." She said.

"What?" We both said. I peeked at my phone and noticed the battery had died.

"He made it sound like you were expecting this." She replied uncertainly.

I shook my head and looked at Edward. "I have no idea what this is about. Mrs. Cope, can I use your phone please, my cell just died."

She nodded and pointed towards her office. I asked Edward to please wait for me.

Once alone I called my dad.

"Isabella? I assume you got my message?"

Well so much for 'Hello's'.

"Dad, why is Melinda picking me up? I have six weeks left." I said coolly, trying not to piss him off more that he seemed to be already.

"Non preoccuparsi di perché." He was getting angry at my questioning. If it's one thing that no one should ever do, it would be to question Charles Swan. But I am Bella and he is my dad and he will answer my questions.

"I will worry. You are taking me from my friends and the campers." I snapped.

"Are you sure you are not just talking about that Edward Cullen?" he asked sharply.

"How do…" I never told him that I was seeing Edward. I had no idea how he could know.

"So tutto che continua lei, Isabella." Of course, I thought.

"Dad." I tried again.

"Isabella, stop. You are leaving and that's final. This is not open to discussion. Be ready by Monday morning."

"Yes, sir." I gave in.

"Arrivederci, Isabella. L'amo." Then he hung up without my response.

I sank to the floor, I knew what was coming. My dad was moving us and I was sure he would make me break all contact with everyone, including Edward.

Edward.

What was I going to tell him? I couldn't leave him, it would kill us both.

"Bella? What's wrong?" Edward whispered peeking through the door.

"I'm leaving." I said simply.

"That's okay we will talk everyday and I will see you in a few weeks when I move." He said.

I shook my head. "You don't understand. I am not going back to the house you picked me up at."

"Where then?"

"I don't know. I never know."

"Will I be able to talk to you?" he asked, starting to sound desperate.

I couldn't answer him. I knew that it wasn't going to happen but to say the words out loud hurt way too much. I laid my head on my bent knees and cried like I had never cried before. I felt Edward's arms wrap around me.

"We will make it work, Bella. We will be together again, I promise."

I nodded against my knee. But I knew better, the chance of Edward and I seeing each other after this was slim to none.

Edward POV

Bella was leaving and I didn't know if I was ever going to see her again. She didn't tell me why but I hoped that the reason was that she didn't know why and that she wasn't just hiding it from me.

I loved her.

I loved her more than anything. I changed all my college plans for her. I was giving up Brown, I didn't tell her that of course but that didn't change anything. How her father could just waltz in and demand that she be ready to leave by Monday.

I sat on the end of her bed watching her sleep. She managed to cry herself in to a restless sleep, so I scooped her up and carried her to her cabin. I couldn't just sit by and let her be ripped from my life. I needed her.

I had to call my dad, he could help me. I picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number.

"Dr. Cullen's office, can I help you?" the receptionist answered.

"Shelly, it's Edward. Is my dad in?" I asked.

"Oh, yes. Hold on."

"Dr. Cullen."

"Dad, I need your help."

"What is it son?"

"Bella's dad is coming to get her Monday and she says that he will move her away. He can't, I need her." I was begging now.

"Edward, listen to me. I now you love her but you can not step on Charles Swan's toes. He has a reputation of being a dangerous man, especially if his daughter is a stake." My father said sternly.

"What and I supposed to do?"

"Let her go and I will try and check up on her periodically. But please don't do anything to stop her from leaving. I have to go now, son."

"Bye dad."

I hung up the phone and sighed loudly. I wasn't sure how much more time we would really have with the Festival coming up so I laid down next to her and smothered myself with her hair. I wanted to bury her scent deep inside.

My Bella, I only just found her and she was going to walk out of my life just as fast.
