Bella's P.O.V.

I was too busy chatting with all the people that I lost track of time and when I looked to my back to see where Edward and Elise were, I looked back to see both of them gone.

I furrowed my eyebrows and turned to Jessica, "Have you seen Edward or Elise anywhere?"

"Uh, no. Last time I saw them, they were going outside."

Weird. I wonder where they had gone too. As I started walking outside, someone from my history class handed me a glass of punch. I murmured a thanks and walked outside where Lauren was.

"Hey Lauren, have you seen Edward with another girl?"

"Oh, black hair? Really pretty?"

"Yes, her."

"They were here a while back but I have no clue where they went."

"You guys talking about the hot chick?" Some drunk guy said from behind Lauren.

"Ugh. Heath, just shut up…. And try not to vomit on me, please." Lauren said, giving him a disgusted look.

He ignored her and gave me a smirk, "So the hot chick banged your boyfriend? Ouch."

I looked at him skeptically. Edward cheating on me with Elise. Of course not. Yet as much as I wanted not to believe him, I couldn't help but think otherwise. I mean, seriously, what was I thinking? This is Elise we're talking about. Beautiful Elise. A vampire just like Edward. Yet Edward wouldn't cheat on me, I know him.

"Hahahaha, dude, are you talking about that totally hot girl Cullen went off with a while back?" One of his drunk friends said, joining the conversation.

"Exactly!" Heath said and he high- fived the other boy and staggered inside the house.

"Don't mind them Bella, they're drunk." Lauren said as she patted my back and followed the boys inside and that was the time I decided to just call Edward on his cell phone.

On the third ring, Edward answered.

"Hello?" He said, breathless.

"Edward, where are you?"

"Bella, now's not the right time."

"Edward, please, just tell me where you are." I pleaded.

"Hurry up, will you?" A girl's voice said in the background.

"Hold on." He told me and began speaking to someone else, who was probably Elise.

"Just wait." He hissed at her.

"Edward, I'd love to wait but right now, I'd jump on anything that moves. Even you." My heart sank lower. So it was true.

"Okay, just relax. God."

"I can't 'just relax' I NEED this. Okay?"

Then there was silence and I thought Edward was going to pick up the phone again but Elise began rambling, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just that—"

"Sshhh… okay, okay. I get it. Just ten seconds. Swear." Edward said, trying to calm her down.

"Hello? Bells?"

"Edward? What's happe-"

"I'm so sorry Bella, but I really have to go. I'll call you tomorrow noon when I get back, okay?"

"Sure." My voice said in a squeak as he hung up on me. I sighed and bit my tongue. How could Edward do this to me? I downed the whole glass of punch and poured myself another drink.

"Hey Bella!" A voice called. Mike Newton.

"Hey Mike." I said as I drank my second glass of spiked punch that night.

"Whoa, easy there. Where's Cullen?" He asked, a hint of bitterness in his voice.

I sneered.

"Okay, never mind about that question. You should lay low on the punch though."

"I don't care."

"I'm serious, Bella."

The more he insisted the more I became stubborn, "I told you I didn't care."

"Fine, you know what? I don't care either." He said pouring himself a drink.

I laughed and clinked glasses with Mike. Trying to drown out the thought of Edward with Elise Schulyer.
