Sorry for the wait. I did pre-warn everyone about my terrible updating. I wanted to upload this today as i have my first exam tomorrow and I'm...well to put it bluntly, shitting myself. And they arent even important :/

Anyway, thanks to everyone who reviewed, Story Alerted, Favourited when i posted chapter one. Thanks so much!!! I couldnt believe it when i logged on the day after and saw 27 e-mails connected to this story. So thanks again lol ^^

I wasnt originally going to do this scene from Edwards POV but I figured it might help to kind of see why the Cullens are at the college and stuff too. There wont be a lot POV change, mostly Bella's so this is more of a one-off really.

Enjoy:]

Chapter 2

EPOV

"Tell me again, why we are moving?" I asked from the backseat, I was playing on Alice's Nintendo DS. I was stuck in a seven hour-long car drive, so you can't really blame me. Alice groaned, she was sitting next to me and getting completely fed up of me constantly asking my parents. It was okay for her, and Emmett for that matter. Rosalie Hale was a student at Berkeley University, but me? I was leaving all my friends behind. I suppose I had Jasper, who was joining the university pretty much as we speak. And yeah I could make new friends…but still Forks was my home, I'd lived there all my life, my memories were there. It was the one place I could go, be on my own and just be surrounded by the memories of Bella. Sometimes I thought I could even still smell her, that her presence was still there, all around me. I missed her so much. But she just had to leave, she didn't love me anymore. My mother sighed from the front seat.

"For the forty-seventh time, Edward." Seriously, was she counting? I hadn't asked that many times, had I? "Your father was offered a job at the new hospital, you knew there was a possibility of moving when we got the phone call about the new hospital being built in the first place. Your father also decided for us to move so that I would have the chance to apply as a lecturer at Berkeley." I rolled my eyes, I already knew all this. I meant it as a rhetorical question; I just wanted to complain about it some more.

I leaned my head back with a huge impact, Alice who had temporarily had her eyes closed, had shot up and turned to look at me with a furious expression on her face.

"For Quavers sakes, Edward." She always said this; she'd been saying it since she was a little kid. Ever since we took a trip to the UK and she had a packet, she'd gone crazy. She loved them! So much, she even forced my dad to get them imported to us every month. There a packet of fucking crisps! I rolled my eyes at her, which she appeared to notice. She hit me round the back of my head.

"Do not roll your eyes at me, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!" She squealed, Christ I hated it when she used the dreaded 4-word long full name. "Do you hear me, Edward!?" I waved my hand in her face as if to waft her away.

"Yeah, yeah Alice I hear you!" I could hear Esme let out a slight giggle from the front seat, Carlisle had glanced into the rear view mirror and smirked me, whilst Emmett was pressed up against the window, mouth agape and snoring at normal Emmett volume. Which is loud!

--

I stepped out of the car, outside our new home. Well, me, Alice and Emmett would be living on campus but we had all decided to make regular stops at Esme and Carlisle's house. We also 'decided' meaning guilt tripped in by my mother to stop at the house on most weekends. However, despite it most probably ruining frat party plans, I did get to have my own room, which was a bonus as for the last ten years of my life with Emmett. I don't think I need to go into detail about how many times he belches through the night. How Rosalie has put up with him all this time I don't know. I grabbed the first two suitcases and duffle bag, I lifted them and pulled them into the hallway. Which appeared to be never ending. Despite being told to help, I decided to take a quick look around. The place was huge! Jeez, a whole orphanage could stay here but I guess my parents have always been into that 'I'm going to go completely overboard on absolutely everything' thing. Don't get me wrong, my parents were the nicest people you could ever need, I don't think my mother ever had a selfish bone in her body and well my dads devoted his whole life to helping people so that kind of stands for itself.

"Edward, I thought you were going to help?" Alice moaned, chucking a no doubt, weightless bag of her shoulders.

"Yeah, man. Jeez thanks a lot." Emmett came barging in the room, carrying a total of five bags. That guy could probably balance a fast food restaurant if he was given enough food or sex from Rosalie.

"Come on, now children. Don't argue. This is supposed to be a happy day. Our new life." My mother smiled, her sweet smile and heart full of gold. I grumbled. I didn't need a new life. I was perfectly happy going to the forest, sitting on the same rock I had been for the last three years of my life and thinking of her. My sweet, beautiful Bella. Why did you leave me so? You know why, you fool. Oh did I know? I had the letter to prove it.

I headed up to the third floor, swiftly followed from the rest of my family. There were three bedrooms and despite it being smaller, there was another room all on its own on the fourth floor. And of course I wanted, however I had a feeling Emmett would get it. Lord knows, the whole family doesn't want hear him 'banging' Rose at all hours of the night. Carlisle came up behind me and moved so he could stand in front of us, he got out his finger and began pointing at us in his extreme father mannerism way.

"Now, I don't want you arguing over these bedrooms, so me and your mother have decided what rooms you will be getting." He pointed at what I presumed was the biggest room of the whole household. "This is mine and your mother's room." He moved swiftly onto the next two big rooms positioned next to Carlisle and Esme's rooms. "Your mother and I am assuming that both Jasper and Rosalie will be staying here frequently." The good thing about Carlisle and Esme was that they really didn't mind about what we got up to with out partners, just providing we didn't shove it in their faces or as long as we weren't too loud. They hadn't had to have been worried about me for quite a while. I think my dicks been in hibernation for the last three years. "So we decided the two big rooms go to Emmett and Alice." Alice squealed in delight and threw herself at my father whilst Emmett hugged my mom. "So, Edward you get the room on the upstairs floor. Is that okay?" Isolated from everyone around me? It was MORE then okay!

"The good thing is, Edward. You get your own bathroom too. There is a en suite." My mom obviously forgot about who she was talking too. I was really fine with the small room, whereas Emmett and Alice would have no doubt complained. I smiled at my mother and hugged her.

"Its fine, really. In fact it's the room I wanted." I smiled genuinely at her and she grinned back, a gleam in her eye. When everything was moved into the house and the removal van turned up, I decided to head upstairs and lie down on the floor. The carpet beneath me had a rough texture and yet I found it extremely comforting. I would miss my old room. The good memories I had, the sleepovers, the first time I got drunk, the first time I kissed Bella, the first time I slept with Bella. Instinctively, my hand reached down to my jean pocket and I pulled out the scrap of paper. The edges were torn and the paper consisted of her messy handwriting. She loved my handwriting, always complimenting it and referring to it as 'elegant'. I personally loved her handwriting. It suited her personality.

Dear Edward,

God, this is so hard to say. Which is exactly why I am writing instead. You know I've never liked confrontation. But, I…I guess… Our relationship isn't what it used to be Edward. We used to laugh and play and be really comfortable around each other, now it is awkward and silent and I don't feel I can confide in you anymore. I don't feel I can even trust you anymore either. God, I can't even trust myself. It was like we became a schedule, the romance and the passion isn't there anymore. I loved it when you would just pop over to my house unexpectedly, but now that is gone. Our love is gone…

Now I am questioning myself if I ever truly loved you. Did I? I am not sure. Maybe I will never know.

However, there is someone I love. Please don't hate me. I tried. Really, I tried to fight my feelings for him. I told myself everyday that the love I was feeling for him was really for you. I tried to tell myself every night I woke up after I had dreamt of him…that it was really you in my dream. But I am tired of pretending. I am tired of telling myself that I love you when in all honesty I don't. Maybe I never did. The person, this guy that my heart belongs to…I told him I had to tell you and then I had to leave.

We are going away together. So that we can be together. Happy and in love. Just like we used to be. The neighbours will frown, I am sure but what I care about is you. Despite, what this letter may make you think, I do care about you Edward. Which, is why I am going away. So that you wont have to see me and him together. Happy.

I am sorry Edward. A million times sorry. Please believe me.

I pray that we see each other again, maybe when you have forgiven me. If you ever forgive me.

Just remember, despite what I may say. Our relationship was never a lie Edward.

I have loved you but I have grown up and sometimes that love goes away. My love for you has gone away.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

Bella.

"I am so excited for you all to see where I work!"

"Mom, have you even seen it yet?" Emmett asked, occasionally glaring at Alice who was dancing around the pavement like she was some sort of fairy. I rolled my eyes and glanced back at the ground beneath me. Tiles. Such interesting shapes, don't you think? Emmett nudged into to try and get my attention, I glanced at him and realised that my mother had just asked me a question. I looked at her and she smiled at me sweetly.

"Edward, are you looking forward in enrolling here?" I looked around the campus. The café's, the coffee bars, the people glaring.

"Erm…yes. Everybody seems so…friendly." I responded as a high-heeled beauty queen walked past me, glaring. She laughed and I heard my father chuckle beside her. He wrapped his arm around my mother and pulled her close.

"You kids will all be fine. Your mother will wow the students with her charming smile, Alice will kick all their asses with her dance skills, Edward will whoop their asses with his brain and good lucks – that he gets from his father!" He smirked and we all let out a small laugh, he looked over at Emmett who was…somewhere else. "And Emmett will…Emmett will be Emmett and get his ass kicked by Rose." We laughed again until Emmett interrupted us all by practically jumping on us.

"There she is! My baby! My sexy, gorgeous girl I wanna fu-"

"Emmett."

"Sorry mom. Rose! ROSE!" Rosalie Hale stood there in all her perfection, she looked like a model in the making. Her brother Jasper stood next to her. The whole family really looked like they belonged in a catalogue of some sort. But who was I to complain? The Cullen family had been told often that we too, were a good lucking family. So why couldn't I get a girl? Shut up dickface, you don't want a girl. I sighed and grinned as Rosalie and my best friend made their way over.

"Eddie boy! My man!" Jasper laughed as he made his way over towards us and we man-hugged. I laughed, you'd have thought we hadn't seen each other for years. After we were all done hugging Rose and Jasper – Alice refusing to let go off Rosalie and then when she got hold of Jasper, we had a big problem of prying him off of her. We decided to hit an on-campus diner and grab something to eat. Emmett was complaining about his never-full stomach. Usually, Rosalie would have complained about Emmett and his food whinings but it seemed that she had missed him too much to complain to him. This was a rare occasion for Rose and you had to take full advantage of it.

However, I noticed that she avoided eye contact with me. Like she was…hiding something? What could she possibly have to hide from me? Whatever it was, Jasper was bound to know and Jasper has never been able to keep a secret from me. We've been best friends since nursery. Every time I had tried to engage Rose into a conversation, she avoided my eyes and gave me short answers. The fuck?

"Come on." Esme said, reaching for her coat and standing up. "I want to show you where my first class is going to be!"

--

After my mother had showed us her first class, she was grinning like a Cheshire cat, she was so excited. We all had to depart, as she had to actually start her class. We decided to head back to the house and begin to unpack, meaning Emmett and me were to move all the beds and shit into the house. Whilst, Alice was already preparing to paint her room and Rose ended up leaving to head to one of her classes. Once, I had moved all the beds into their chosen rooms and set up a bookcase, I decided to head up to my room. I unpacked my docking station, plugged my Ipod in at a select volume and lay across my bed. I had exactly one hour before we were all to go and meet my mother and congratulate her on her first class. Despite being furious at the prospect of moving, I was thrilled for my mother. I knew how hard she worked to be a teacher and how long she had wanted it.

A few minutes later, Alice came pushing her way into my room. I sat up, now annoyed and semi-glared at her.

"What, Alice?" She put her hands on her hips and stared at me.

"Why are you so annoyed Eddie?" I hated that name. It took all I had to not punch Jasper when he referred to me with that name. I shrugged my shoulders, wasn't it plain obvious as to why I was annoyed? She was invading my privacy and quiet time. "I mean, its not like your doing anything important." Bitch. She gestured to my Ipod and then to me on my bed. I glared at her and stroked my forehead.

"Is there a reason as to why you are in my room, Alice." I tried to be as diplomatic as I could muster at that particular moment.

"I need you to come finish painting my room for me!" She grinned. What?

"No, do it yourself."

"Come on, Edward! Jasper texted me and wants to meet up before we go see mom and I haven't seen him for weeks! Please. Pleeeeeeeease!" She stuck out her bottom lip. Ah, shit. Not the eyes. Anything but the puppy dog eyes…

"Fine." I muttered, getting of my bed and almost storming to her room, I heard her call out to me, the grinning in her voice. Making me want to puke. Stupid little sister who I love. Way too much.

--

Our conversations came to a halt as Rose entered the room along with a girl I had never seen before. And yet, apart of me told myself that I did know her. At least there was something about her. About her eyes, I didn't get to see much of her eyes as she kept her eyes on the floor for most of the time. Rose was with her although I didn't think that Emmett had quite noticed yet.

"Hi, can I help you?" My mother asked the young girl. I could barely make out what she was saying and it appeared my mother couldn't either as she repeatedly asked her the same question. Emmett finally noticed Rose and she squealed and ran towards him, they basically began sucking each other's faces off. I was so glad I didn't need to put up with that shit from Alice and Jasper. They were the more 'romantic sicky' type couple which, to be honest I kind of followed that too.

"I'm sorry but I'm going to need your name." The young girl turned back around, a shocked expression now clouded her face. Who was she? Where had I seen her before? She muttered her name quietly, just like before. The whole family was now looking at her, well except Rose and Emmett who were…well too busy trying to fuck each other with their eyes. I turned back to the girl who I thought I recognized.

"My name is…Bella Swan."

I felt my heart freeze over and my body enter a paralysed state of some sort. Bella. My Bella. How had I not recognized those eyes? Her small frame. Now smaller then ever. She was still beautiful. If not more, which I wasn't even sure was possible. Bella. She had returned to me. Or I had returned to her…I wasn't sure how this worked. I had so many questions roaming around in my head.

Why was she here?

Why did she leave me?

Who did she love instead of me?

How could I win her back?

I had no idea how I was going to ask her these questions, but I was going to get answers.

Okay, so i forgot to pre-warn people that this is my first 'First POV' story as i usually write in third person. I'm still not sure if I'm doing any good at certain peoples POV so if its terrible, let me know :P lol
