Whatever kept Renee and Phil away from home for so long had come to an abrupt end and the next morning I awoke to the scent of my mother's famous burnt pancakes.
"Renee," I heard Jason call, "Let me help you." I heard a clatter and the smoke detector soon stopped beeping.
"I really should learn to stop making pancakes I can never get them cooked but not too cooked." She laughed, "Oh that didn't make any sense did it?"
"It did," laughed Jason, "And I must say I agree with you."
Excited to see my mom, I quickly brushed my hair and slipped on a headband, I then applied a bit of makeup, after I pulled on the first pair of clothes that matched and I ran down the stairs to give my mother a hug.
"Oh Bella you've grown up so much!" she exclaimed.
"You've only been gone a week." I said.
"I know," she said tears appearing at her eyes. "But you've changes so much, make up and I haven't seen you in anything other than jeans and a t-shirt in so long, and look at that tan!
"We must go out to celebrate! We could go to that fancy restaurant and you could wear a dress."
I was blushing and she seemed to be overly excited.
"Okay mom that's great." I said.
"Tonight!" she exclaimed. "I'll make reservations."
I looked at Jason who widened his eyes in mocking surprise and I quietly giggled to myself.
"We better go," he said "We'll pick up breakfast on our way to school."
I followed him out the door and on my way grabbed my backpack. "Bye mom," I yelled at her as I closed the door behind me.
When I go into the car Jason winked at me and pulled out of the driveway. We drove to a starbucks and I had a frappucino and chocolate chip banana bread. As soon as we parked at school Jason, to my relief kissed me.
"Mmm, you were right that banana bread does taste good." He said as we got out of the car.
"Ew," I laughed,
"Nah," he sighed pulling me closer, he examined my face carefully and laughed. "We need to watch out where we flaunt our relationship from now on, now that Renee and Phil are back we can't let wind of this thing get back to them."
"No parents in the same room as our friends, or making out at school."
"Maybe we should fake a break up."
"Wouldn't that create even more gossip?"
"Not if we start dating other people, then it will just go back to normal," he said.
"I don't want to date other people,"
"I don't want us to be separated," He whispered.
"So, we stop making out in public, and I claim to have moved back in with my parents, we'll act more like friends and say we decided to slow things down and we are not labeling anything."
"Have you thought about this before?" he asked.
"No, I'm just mixing a bunch of TV show plots together."
Jason laughed and stroked my cheek before throwing the car into reverse.
When we arrived at school there was no kiss before we went our opposite ways, a wink and a smile was all I had to get me through first period. By lunch I felt I was going through withdraw.
"You okay?" Mel asked as we stood in the girl's bathroom repairing our makeup, "You look really pale, are you going to throw up?"
"No," I laughed, "I'm just tired."
Mel took one look at me and knew I was lying but she backed off. When we went into the cafeteria Jason was sitting with Edward and Alyec. Edward looked up as soon as I entered and Jason soon caught on and looked at me too.
I made a beeline for them while Mel went to get us a spot in line.
Edward looked up at me his eyes fighting so many emotions. I cringed inwardly at the pain I had caused him and looked away. Jason's smile was as broad as ever, he smiled up at me and I couldn't help but smile back. I put my purse down on the chair reserved for me and took out my wallet before going back to stand with Melissa.
I grabbed a side salad and a soup before walking back with Mel at my side. Alice was sitting in the chair across from mine, a blank expression on her face.
Edward was at her side as she proceeded with her vision Jasper quickly came over too (as fast as he could without drawing attention to himself) and spoke quickly to Edward. Moments passed before the three of them went back to normal. Alice pretending it had never even happened and Jasper as silent and held back as usual. Edward stared at me quickly before turning to the lunch that he wasn't eating.
Jason and Alyec now seemed to be chatting about the football team that was failing miserably in the play offs. Mel was talking to Ashley about the magazine's tips on kissing and how bogus they were. Having no one to talk to I finished my salad in silence and stood up to go to English early.
It felt like the day passed in silence as I walked through the school, the Cullens seemed to be ignoring me, Jason was acting like football was all that existed and Mel was all I had to talk to. The only class we had together though was math (after English) and PE, which I only had every second day.
After school I walked over to Jason's Porsche and sank into the front seat. When I turned though I practically screamed, as it was Edward who was staring back at me.
I clutched me chest as my heart raced. "What?"
"We're going back to Forks,"
"We?" I asked thinking of Alice.
"All of us, we've all decided that it's what's best for you and your well being."
"All of us?" I asked skeptically.
"All of us," he repeated turning to look ahead, "You need to be rid of us for good."
"For good?" I asked feeling the familiar ripping in my chest.
"Yes, see Bella I'm not going to lie to you. I love you and that is why we have to leave. The whole family can see the effect we have on you,"
"This is about Alice's vision isn't it?"
"A little but-"
"Don't you get it?" I asked suddenly refusing the pain to come back. "I'm hurt because I love you!" Tears suddenly came to my eyes and overflowed onto my cheeks.
Edward smiled a little bit and traced his fingers along my jaw before bringing it down along my neck, then arm. His hand rested on mine and you didn't need super hearing to hear the way my heart was beating. Edward smiled at me and my eyes rested on his perfect lips. The smile that was crooked and perfect.
I put my hand on his face quickly before placing it on the back of his neck. Using him as an anchor I lifted myself up to his face and brought my lips to his.
My whole body shuddered as he traced his hands back up my arm to my head. His hands went through my hair and down my back to my hip where it rested.
I pushed my body against his and parted my lips slightly, suddenly I was thrown back against my door and all contact with Edward was severed.
Panting heavily I stared at Edward who was sitting stony-faced eyes closed, perfectly positioned in the driver seat.
"Damn it Bella!" He said in his strong, controlled voice.
I stared back at him until I saw Jason appear, just coming out of the front doors. "You better go," I said quietly.
Edward glanced at me quickly before standing up and getting out of the car gracefully, just as Jason reached his door.
Jason nodded at Edward slightly but Edward turned away in annoyance and walked over to his car, revved it loudly and pulled out of the parking lot before Jason asked what his problem was.
"That dude has a stick up his butt, what did he want?"
"Oh, the usual," I mumbled before opening the dashboard to pick a CD that would fill the awkward silence.
