Another short chapter, so I'll post another later.

Thank you for reading, reviewing and sticking around!

Edward's light doesn't turn on, nor do I see him on the roof.

I stay curled up in the darkness, under my comforter, facing the window. It's long-gone midnight before my eyes start to close and my mind switches off.

I wonder where he is, what he's doing. I shouldn't, but I do.

Edward isn't at school.

Sitting in biology is strange. I'm so used to his presence at my side -even though we hardly speak.

If anyone notices his absence, they don't mention it.

The school seems quieter without him, the hallways less condensed; the classrooms and cafeteria larger, the people void -less vivid, their faces blurring.

Maybe it's because I'm looking around every corner, at every face, hoping it's him. My mind is tired.

It feels like a lifetime ago I touched him.

I hate it.

I hate that the one boy that makes my heart race and my stomach explode into an excited burst of butterflies, is the one boy I should stay far away from.

I hate that I can't help the way I feel.
