Chapter 35

Bella's point of view.

About two weeks had passed since the day Edward had told me about his past. We had about two weeks of school left till we went on winter break. I had noticed that Edward had been acting a lot stranger than ever. He seemed like he had to force a smile all the time now.

He was always so rigid now and when we kissed it wasn't as...passionate anymore. I was beginning to worry. I decided to just give him some space. I was hoping this would end in a while. When I got to school today Edward was still in his mood, I could see it in his eyes. He tried to compose it but I could always see through his facade. I think Alice had even felt it because she had a type of frown on her face when I got to her. That was very unusual, especially for -always, happy, perky-Alice.

"Hello, Love." Edward greeted me with a tight smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Hey." I mumbled.

I noticed Alice didn't even bother with saying hi to me like she usually does. Instead she didn't once look me in the eye.

"Hey, Alice." I said to break the silence.

"Hi,Bella. I got to go." She said.

"Okay bye." I told her. She looked heart broken when I told her that. She looked on the verge of tears. She ran away from us and I just stared after her.

"Is, she okay?" I asked Edward.

"Yes, she's fine." He said.

I nodded and I grabbed his hand.

Edward walked me to my first period class and then I gave him a peck on the cheek. When he was gone I sighed. I had a bad feeling. Classes went by the same as any other day. Lecture, Notes, Class work, and sometimes partner work. When I reached Spanish class I saw Emmett. He looked like his normal happy self. He was joking around with the football player that was seated next to him. I smiled, At least he wasn't in a glum mood. We were assigned partner work in this class and as usual Emmett and I were partners. We had about ten minutes to study in partners till time was up and then we had to take a test.

"Damn! We have a test?" Emmett asked.

"Yeah, You didn't study did you." I accused.

"Nope. Did you?" Emmett asked.

"Yup." I said popping the 'p'.

"Well then you let me study now." He said.

I nodded and I started helping him. when time was up Emmett looked freaked out. He made no sense.

Emmett, Mr. tough guy wasn't afraid of a bear, but a test, oh no someone call whambulance. I scoffed.

Ms. Goff past around the test and then we all began. I was the first one done as always and when I looked to Emmett he was sweating bullets.

I had to hold in my giggle. I put my head down till I heard a 'pst!'. I ignored it till I heard a "Pst!" followed by a piece of paper being thrown at my head. I looked up and it was Emmett.

"What?" I mouthed to him.

"What's number thirteen?" Emmett mouthed back at me.

"It's D" I mouthed before the teacher caught us.

"Ms. Swan! I said no talking." Ms. Goff said.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." I told her.

She went back to grading papers and I put my head down again. When the bell rang Emmett and I left.

"So what do you think you got?" I asked Emmet.

"I say a C-"

"I think I got a B." I told him.

He smirked but that was the end of our conversation. When we got to the cafeteria everyone was there.

Alice looked a bit sad but a little better to. I sat next to Edward as usual and I pulled out a big bag of different cookies and I set it on the table.

Everyone got some cookies. They all ate them and they seemed please. When lunch ended I went to Biology with Edward.

We walked hand in hand but there was no spark between us. Edward was lifeless.

I wished so badly for him to return back to normal but all he need was time.

Biology was a bore and it ended so fast. Edward walked me to my Gym class and then he left without a kiss good bye.

I sighed and I went to my gym class. Once I was dressed out I went to go and torture myself with sports. Today's sport was we had to jump rope.

Well what do you know a math problem. Bella plus a jump rope equals a horrible disaster. That was like giving a child scissors and telling it not to hurt itself.

When class was over I hurried into the dressing room. When I was dressed back up again I went outside to meet Edward. He was standing by my truck.

I walked up to him. This was very unusual.

"Hey Edward." I called.

"Hey Bella. Um I was wondering if you were busy?" He asked.

"Nope, I have nothing to do today."

"Do you mind coming somewhere with me? I need to talk to you." He said.

"No, problem. But are you riding with me?"

"No, I will be taking my Volvo." He said.

"What about Alice?" I asked.

"Alice is getting a ride with Rosalie like Emmett."

"Okay but where are we going?" I asked.

"To a nearby park, just follow me." He said.

I nodded. I got into my truck and Edward went to his Volvo. Once he was in he started to drive and I followed right behind him. I was thinking the whole way there.

I thought this would be a good thing. I could talk to him about his behavior, see what was wrong.

It was hard to keep up with Edward's fast Volvo since my decrepit truck wouldn't go any faster than sixty five but I managed. When we got to the park there was a welcoming sign.

Welcome To Forks community Park, is what it said in nice green letters. As if this place wasn't green enough, I thought. I was using a lot of sarcasm lately.

I got out of my truck and I went towards Edwards Volvo. He got out to and then he led the way to a nice secluded area that was in the near forest to.

Once we were in a good spot Edward began pacing and I put my hands on my hips. What is going to do? I thought.

I was staring at Edward intently before I spoke up.

"Edward, What's wrong? Tell me." I asked.

Edward didn't say anything he just continued to pace. finally he stopped his movement and then he looked up at me. His eyes were sad.

"Bella, I'm leaving." He said. My heart began pounding wildly.

No!
