Getting back into the swing of classes and assignments proved to be far less difficult than I had anticipated, maybe it was because I was glad to be home.

Soon March became April when the weather got warmer and we celebrated Emmett's birthday by going to the circus after he insisted that we all go. April turned into May where we threw Rose a surprise birthday party and then June rolled around where we celebrated Edward's 22nd birthday.

Not long after that we got handed our final assignments, they had to be turned in two weeks before exams on the last official day of the semester before study break. This gave us only a month left of college before exams and graduation.

For Edward's final assignment he had to work with another class mate to produce plans for a fictional hotel that abided by all of the building regulations in Seattle. His partner was Victoria Law, a pretty red headed girl from his class.

This was where everything started to change, for the worse.

It started off with none of us spending much time together due to the seriousness of the assignments and the fact that we had so much material to study before exams.

I barely got to spend much time with Edward either and that was taking its toll.

To top it all off Victoria hated me and was out for blood. She had made it her goal to break me and Edward up by the time study break came around.

"Where's Edward tonight?" Alice asked as we got dinner ready, Jasper and Emmett were coming over to hang out since we all decided to give ourselves the night off.

"With Victoria" I replied through gritted teeth.

"Again?" asked Rose.

"Yep, apparently they hit a speed bump in their project and the only way they can get around it is to work on it tonight" I replied bitterly.

Lately this had become a common occurrence, everything that she was supposed to be doing for the project she was fucking up. I knew she was doing it on purpose so she could spend more time with him.

The worst part of it all was that I wasn't being paranoid, it was true.

Rose shook her head, "Honey I know you're worried there's something going on but there isn't. Edward would never ever hurt you he loves you too much for that."

"I know, I trust him, but I don't trust her" I replied sadly.

"Well she's a bitch" Alice spat, "Seriously she's acting like a bit of a home wrecker" she added.

I nodded in agreement, "He needs to pass this assignment though so I guess I'll just have to wait it out, exams aren't far away."

"That's the spirit babe" Rose replied.

Edward was supposed to come over that night once he was done, but he didn't. He said it was too late and he didn't want to wake me. I told him I didn't care and we ended up arguing for the first time.

A week later and there was no improvement. Friday night we were all supposed to have drinks together but of course Edward had to cancel on us. For the next few weeks it became a pattern, it was predictable. I was trying my best to be supportive but it was becoming more and more difficult.

Finally I decided to confront him about it one Friday when he drove me home before going to a study group.

Needless to say we had the biggest fight in our entire relationship.

"Bella, I've told you there is nothing to worry about. Victoria just really wants this project to be a success and I do too" he said in a raised voice.

"I understand that completely Edward I really do. But you can't see what the rest of us can, she's tearing us apart on purpose, I don't understand how you can't see that" I yelled back.

"She's not like that, it's not like that" he yelled back.

Things got more and more heated until….

"Maybe we should take a break then" I blurted out, "Once exams are over we can figure things out" I added angrily.

"If that's what you want maybe we should make it permanent" Edward retorted.

"Fine, that's fine by me" I screamed back.

He stormed out of the living room slamming the front door as he went. Suddenly the realisation of what had just happened hit me.

It was over, we were over.

I slid down the wall to lie in a crumpled mess on the floor.
