Bella's POV

Term had started back again and I was still with Edward. I know that was only two more weeks but to me every day that he still wanted me seemed precious. He could so easily be with anyone else, but he was with me.

We were strolling through the campus square hand in hand, having met up during one of the rare free periods we had together. As we approached the main building I felt Edward abruptly pull his hand out of mine and take a step away from me. I looked up at him confused to see him wave at a few guys coming down the steps, they shouted a greeting and waved back before walking on.

Edward took my hand again and continued our conversation as though nothing had happen, I answered him only half heartedly, my brain whirring into motion, theories I didn't want to think about sprouting at the edges of my mind.

"Edward?"

"Yes?"

"Are you ashamed of me?"

He stopped and looked at me, "Of course not"

"Then explain what just happened, why you acted like you didn't know me as soon as you say your friends?"

"I . . Bells- "

"You can't explain that" I said

"But- "

"Is it because I'm not pretty enough for you?" I could feel the colour rising in my face as my temper flared.

"No!"

"Then what? I'm too short? Too tall? Or is it just because God forbid anyone would see Edward-fucking-Cullen with anyone who's not his usual dumb, blonde, fucked their way around campus slut!" I was shouting by now, "That's it isn't it? You're too embarrassed to be with someone who's never been with anyone besides you? I'm too 'virgin' for you? Is that it?!"

"Bella, listen, please" Edward said, palms outstretched, "I'm not ashamed of you, I could never be ashamed of you, it's just, you're my first ever girlfriend and I don't really know how to deal with this.

I had worked myself into such a temper by now I didn't even want to hear it, I just stormed off. I didn't care that half the University had just witnessed my strop, all I wanted was to get as far away from Edward Cullen as I possibly could right now.

"Wait, Bells!" I heard him calling from behind me.

I just kept walking.

"Bella! . . . I LOVE YOU!"

I spun around, "what?"

"You heard me"
