I felt a cold hand on my cheek, and I quickly pulled away. My eyes shot open as Edward shifted his body away from me. I could tell he was hurt, but so was I. Or, I was more confused and shocked than anything.
"Please don't be afraid." He pleaded. I bit my lip and looked at my house. We were there, I knew it wouldn't take too long.
I didn't answer as I slung the strap of my bag over my shoulder and opened the car door. Edward stopped me, and I turned slowly to look at him.
"Please let me go, Edward." I spoke slowly, hoping that I wouldn't choke on my words or something. Reluctantly, he released me and I scrambled out of the car.
"Bella…" He rolled the window down, and I turned once more to look. "I'll see you in a few days." I nodded and walked the rest of the way up to the house.
As I reached the door, I glanced back, but he was gone. I exhaled slowly and opened the door. I could tell the television was on, which meant that Charlie was still awake, and that the door was unlocked.
"Bella?" He stood up and stared at me as I closed the door. Could he tell something had happened? "It's nearing midnight. What are you doing home?"
"Dr. Cullen got called to the hospital." I lied, making my way towards the stairs.
"Your friend Jessica called yesterday." I shrugged and began making my way towards my room. I'd call her tomorrow.
"Goodnight, dad." I called, closing the door to my bedroom softly. I dropped my things by the door and lunged for my bed.
I buried my face in my pillow and cried. Every tear I had been holding back, I released. No one could see me, I had nothing to worry about.
Slowly but surely, I cried myself to sleep.
