Hey my lovely readers. I'm so sorry I've taken forever but I can never find the time to write. This chapter is shorter than normal but I wanted to get it out ASAP. Anyways, I'll let you get to the chapter and I'll try update soon.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING :'(Previously: The mood was considerably happier than on the way here. I laughed to myself once again. You can always rely on Emmett to make the day a little brighter, not that it wasn't amazingly earth shattering anyway. Yes, I though what happened this afternoon was earth shattering. It made me smile just thinking about it.

I think I can safely conclude that Esme was mostly right, and I hope she stays right. Because if the man that I was sitting next to now, wasn't in my future, then I didn't want to be either.

Chapter 7 – Whore?

The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed and, well, more alive. I stretched in my bed before getting up. I checked the clock on my table and saw it was 6:59 am. I laughed to myself. These days I got up before my alarm actually went off.

I hit the snooze button just before it went off and excitedly got out of bed. I skipped towards the door, grabbing my wash bag and clothes on the way, and went into the bathroom.

I had a shower, got changed, dried my hair, and was back in my bedroom in the space of twenty minutes. My shower was relaxing but it didn't calm down my excited mood. But, why was I excited? Him.

Ah, that would be why. I sat crossed legged on my bed and leaned against the wall. Yesterday was weird. I know it doesn't sound like it but to me it was. I was very close to kissing my best friend yesterday and that shouldn't happen. It shouldn't even be considered, but it did; it nearly did.

I rubbed my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair. Why did I have to like the guy who was supposed to be my friend? Now my excited mood had dimmed and the happiness I had felt earlier this morning had diminished.

Great, I thought, another reason to be unhappy and moody. I inhaled deeply and let out a sigh. Friday was going to be very difficult.

I quickly cleared my head and stood up. I would deal with it when it happened, even though it would probably kill me.

I walked downstairs easily as I was wearing my comfy converse today, and went to get a pop tart out of the cupboard. I was surprisingly peckish this morning, which was kind of weird. I'm not really one to eat breakfast in the morning, if you can consider a pop tart as breakfast.

"Bells?" I turned round to face Charlie who was leaning against the wall.

"Yeah dad?" I put on a calm face whilst waiting for his answer. I didn't want him to think I knew something.

"I'm just going to tell you now, I'm not going to be in tonight. I'm going out to dinner with a friend and then I'll probably see Billy afterwards and stay round there. Are you ok with that?" Yep, he's got a woman. And I bet if I called Billy tonight, he would say Charlie wasn't there and that he didn't say anything along the lines of visiting.

Oh well, I couldn't control what my dad wanted so I just kept my thoughts quiet, like usual. "Yeah dad that's fine. But, can I invite Alice or someone round so I don't get bored?" I was going to say Edward but I thought better than to say that.

"Yes, defiantly. Whatever makes you happy sweetie. Ah, are you ready? I think Edward's just pulled up." Eugh, I hate it when he calls me sweetie.

I simply nodded to him and gathered my bag up from the ground. I said a quick goodbye to Charlie and made my way to Edwards Volvo.

I swiftly got in and Edward greeted me with his breathtaking smile that made my knees wake.

"Hey Bella. You ok?" Such a simple question, such a difficult answer.

"Well yeah, but Charlie's not going to be in all night tonight because he's going out to 'dinner' with a 'friend'." I rolled my eyes and rested my head against the headrest. It smelled nice in Edwards' car.

Edward tensed next to me. "I wish Charlie would dump that whore of his and spend a little more time with you before you leave." Woah.

"Where the heck did that come from Edward? You don't even know her…" Did Edward know her?

Edward slammed the car into fifth and sped off in the direction of the highway that led towards the city. Where in the world were we going?

"I don't know who she is. Well…well you can just tell all right? Charlie should be more grateful that he has you to look after him; and he shouldn't be dating some whor—woman he probably doesn't even know yet. And before you panic Bella, we're not going to school." He glanced at me, anger written all over his face. Why was he so angry?

Edward suddenly turned sharply of the highway onto a smaller, beaten road, which headed towards the woods. Seriously, where were we going?

I voiced my question and Edward's face seemed to relax a little.

"You'll see." He glanced at me, anger still in his eyes, but a blatant smirk spread across his face. That boy really confuses me sometimes.

So we drove on, for what seemed like forever but in reality was only twenty minutes. As we drove, the road became bumpier and the little towns' huge forests loomed closer towards us.

As the car started to slow, I took in our surroundings. There was a footpath that headed back towards the town, but went through the edge of the forest; where Edward had parked the car, there was a small field that had three horses casually grazing in the morning sun and in front of us, an opening in the trees that lead into the depths of the forest.

It was all very green but strangely peaceful. I liked this place already.

"Bella? You spaced out on me again." I snapped my head round to see Edward standing right behind me, looking at me curiously. When did I get out of the car?

"Um—sorry. I was just looking at the view. It's nice." Edwards close proximity was making it very hard to speak.

"If you like the view here, you'll love the view in the forest." Without missing a beat, Edward grabbed my hand and started directing me towards the opening of the woods.

"Aren't we going on the path…where there's a flat pavement?" A forest floor covered in tree roots, branches and rocks that just screamed danger didn't really appeal to me.

"Silly Bella, of course not. But don't worry," He looked at me with care in his eyes. "I wont let you fall, I promise." We looked at each other for a moment, the spark from yesterday re-igniting itself, but only mildly. Something told me there was a deeper meaning behind his words, but I pushed that thought away.

Friends Bella, only friends. I shook my head, hoping the physical movement would shake my thoughts out of my head.

And with that, Edward tugged my hand and we began our walk into the woods. I realised it didn't actually matter what my feelings for Edward were, because in two days time I'd be gone, and whatever feelings I had for Edward would diminish.

Long distance relationships never lasted; I for one should know.

Review =D
