Thanks again for the many reviews. It didn't take me so long to write this chapter. Tell me what you think about it. Enjoy!

The next morning I drove to school. When I was in the parking lot I just sat in my car. I had to tell myself over and over again that I could do this. Mike wouldn't do something to me in school but I would have to avoid him. I took a deep breath and got out to face whatever would await me.
Fortunately I saw Mike only in the classroom. And there he ignored me and didn't even look at me. I was thankful for that.
The day was a disaster. Everytime a teacher called my name I jumped slightly on my chair. And when someone touched me I flinched away.
I didn't feel good enough to attempt lunch so I just went out to spend the time alone in my truck.
There I sat alone with my thoughts. When I thought back to the other day tears started falling down my cheeks again. I didn't want to cry but I couldn't help it.
When lunchtime was over I got out of my car to go back to class. From the corner of my eyes I could make out a figure standing not far from me. I didn't pay attention to it. I was late, so I walked quickly towards the building. I kept my head low because I was afraid that it was obvious that I had been crying.
The inevitable happened. I tripped. But somehow I didn't hit the ground. Somebody caught me. I flinched away from the touch murmured a quick
"Thank you."
And hurried to class. Suddenly my brain caught up with what had just happened and I stopped immediately with my back to the one who had caught me.
What had just happened?
The figure I was seeing had been too far away to reach me in time - at a normal for a human possible speed.
The one who had caught me was hard.
He smelled good.
Somehow I was cold.
"Bella."
I knew this voice. But I couldn't turn around. What if I was wrong. What if it wasn't him?
"Bella. Please look at me." The voice begged.
I turned around and stared at the most beautiful man on earth. I just stared. I mouthed his name. And he just looked at me. It was as if there was nothing but the two of us.
"Edward" I gasped.
He quickly closed the gap between us and hugged me tightly. I couldn't help but flinch away. Damn Mike. There he was. Edward. Actually standing in front of me and I flinched away. Edward noticed but for now he didn't say anything.
He let go of me.
"How are you?" he asked.
What should I say? No Edward I'm crying at night and can't even think of you without feeling the pain.
Instead I shrugged.
He took a deep breath and then the words came out so quickly I had to concentrate to understand what he was saying.
"Listen. There are no words for how deeply sorry I am. Alice had a vision of you. You were crying and looked broken. I couldn't stand it. When I left you all I wanted for you was to live a normal life, to be happy. After seeing this vision and after seeing you now I see that this was the biggest mistake in my whole life. It's so good to see you again. I have been depressed the whole time. My family had to bear a lot with me. I now it's hard for you but I beg you to take me back. I would do everything to prove you how much I love you and how sorry I am."
I took in his words. He loved me. He wanted me back. That was all I needed. I hugged him again and then kissed him passionately. I was as if nothing had ever happened. When I needed to breath Edward pulled back and looked me in the eye. He caressed my cheek with his hand
"You have been crying. Please tell me why."
What should I say? I couldn't tell him about Mike. Not now that I had him back. He would hate me. I had betrayed him.
"I missed you that was all." I said trying to sound casual.
He took my face between his hands and said "I'll never leave you again. I promise"
I'm not very happy about this chapter. I don't really know why. I wanted Edward to have a better entrence but it's ok I think. At least Edward's back. Yay! And this is my longest chapter . Yay! I'll try to update soon.
PLEASE REVIEW
