Chapter 8

The next few days passed slowly.

I stuck to a routine.

Got up, dragged myself to class, didnt listen, and went home.

Alice kept trying to ambush me. Whenever I got up she'd be waiting for me at the kitchen table, begging me to listen to her. But I'd just grab some toast and leave.

She'd do the same when I arrived back from school, so I'd started getting up extra early and rushing home just so I could avoid her.

I knew it was childish, not talking about it, but I wasnt ready for that.

It still hurt so much.

I couldnt believe Edward could be such an asshole.

Well I knew he could, I just didnt think he would ever be like that towards me again.

He had called.

Numerous times.

And I had an inbox full of unlistened messages from him.

I just wasnt ready to talk to him yet.

'Bella...I did you some toast' Alice smiled from the table as I emerged from my room.

I dropped my bag on the floor and gave her a small smile as I took the plate she was holding out to me.

'Bella...' she started, but I held my hand up.

'Dont start Alice' I mumbled, taking the toast and tossing the plate into the sink.

'Don't leave again' she sighed. 'I havent spoken to you properly in a week Bella'

'Well that's because you only wanna talk about one thing' I shrugged, picking up my bag and throwing it on my shoulder.

'Bella, please'

'I'll see you later' I told her before walking out of the apartment.

I threw the toast in a bin before trudging to class.

EPOV

'Fuck!' I yelled, tossing my phone against the wall.

'Woah man!' I heard Jasper on the other side.

I shoved my hand into my hair and tugged at it hard.

It had been a week.

A week since Bella had broken up with me.

I hadnt even spoken to her, which pissed me the fuck off.

She was such a stubborn bitch, she wouldnt listen to anything I had to say.

Even Alice hadnt been able to explain and it was her fucking fault!

I dragged my hands down my face and rubbed at the stubble on my jaw, before sighing loudly.

I got up then and stomped out of my room and down the hall.

I banged hard on Jasper's door with my fist.

'What the fuck man?' he barked, opening the door after a full five minutes of my banging.

'Were going out' I told him.

'Where?' he groaned.

'I dont know, I dont care, I just need to get fucked' I shrugged from the kitchen where I was pulling on my converse.

'Give me two minutes, I'm just gonna change my shirt'

I rolled my eyes and grabbed a beer from the fridge, which I finished just as Jasper emerged tugging a shirt over his stomach.

'Okay, where we going?' he asked shoving his feet into his boots.

'Fuck knows, anyone having a party?' I asked, though I knew I could probably get served some booze if I tried.

'I think Felix mentioned something about a 'gathering'' he told me, using air quotations around the word gathering.

'Great, that'll do' I nodded, grabbing my phone and keys and leading the way out of the door.

Felix was indeed having a 'gathering'. Though it wasnt the full swinging party I was expecting, just a handful of people. But there was alcohol, and thats all I was really interested in.

'Jasper! Hey man, didnt think you were coming' Felix greeted as he answered the door to us.

'Hey, dont mind do you?' Jasper asked.

'Nah course not, alright Ed?' he nodded towards me as he let us in.

I simply grumbled in reply as I headed to the kitchen, looking for drinks.

I grabbed a beer and slumped down on the couch next to Jasper who was already playing with some guy on Xbox.

'Ed man, I havent seen you in a while' Felix boomed as he sat on the other side of me, squishing me in the middle.

'Hows it going mate?' He shouted in my ear.

'Fine' I shrugged.

'You dont look fine, whos the bird?' he laughed loudly.

'Fuck off!' I snapped, flipping him the finger.

'Hey man! Chill the fuck out!' he smirked. 'Whoever she is...trust me, she's not worth it buddie'

I simply glared at him.

'Come on Eddie, your in college, nows the time to be free and single, not worrying about chicks' He nudged me with his massive elbow.

'Seriously, theres so much pussy running round here, it would be criminal not to take advantage' he winked.

'Whatever' I mumbled.

'Edward seriously, you need to lighten up' he mussed my hair before handing me another beer. 'You gotta do what you gotta do to make life good' he chuckled.

'Maybe your right' I sighed.

BPOV

'Thanks' I mumbled to the guy behind the coffee cart as I took my cappucino.

I walked slowly across the college grounds, taking my time because I knew Alice finished later than me today, and sipping my coffee.

The sky rumbled above me and I looked up at the grey clouds, which represented my life exactly.

Heavy droplets suddenly splashed down around me.

I continued walking.

The rain felt good. Refreshing somehow.

I was soon drenched through, but I hardly felt the cold.

'Bella!' I heard someone call.

I ignored them.

'Bella, hey!' I felt a hand on my arm.

I stopped.

I turned to see a face I was not expecting.

'Oh, hi' I forced a smile.

'I thought you'd forgotten me' Peter chuckled.

'Erm, no...just daydreaming you know' I shrugged.

'So how are you?' he smiled.

He was holding a newspaper above his head, which wasnt really protecting him from the rain as a drop was now rolling down his cheek.

'I've been better' I shrugged.

'Oh Bella, whats wrong?' he asked, he looked genuinely concerned. His hand, which still held my arm, squeezed gently.

'Its nothing' I shook my head, and squeezed another small smile out.

'You sure babe?' his head lowered, and his eyes met mine.

I tried not to cry, I really did.

'Hey hey now' he soothed.

But I couldnt help it.

The tears slipped out and mingled with the rain.

Peter suddenly pulled me against him and I sobbed into his shoulder.

He smoothed my hair back from my face and whispered softly to me, which just made me cry harder.

'I'm sorry...I'm...sorry' I sniffed, pulling myself together.

I shrugged out of his hold, but he just smiled softly.

'I've gotta go' I told him, feeling extremely embarrassed.

'Okay' he frowned, he looked a little dissapointed.

'I'll erm...see you later' I shrugged, moving past him.

'Yeah, and Bella?' he took my arm again.

'Yes?' I whispered.

'If you ever need someone to talk to...i'm here yeah?' he smiled gently.

'Thanks' I smiled, genuinely for the first time in over a week, before hurrying away.

I ended up getting in after Alice in the end.

'Bella! What the hell happened to you?' she screeched when she saw me.

'It's raining' I deadpanned.

'Fuck sake Bella!' she shouted, making me jump.

'What?' I snapped back.

'You need to listen to me' she said seriously.

'No Alice' I said stubbornly.

'Bella, I swear if you don't talk to me i'll strap you to the fucking chair' she growled.

'Right' I cocked an eyebrow sarcastically.

'I mean it Bella, you can't just keep on ignoring me and Edward!'

As if on cue my phone started to ring.

'Fuck off! Just all of you fuck off!' I screamed before storming into my room and slamming the door behind me.

'Bella!' Alice banged on the door.

'Go away!' I yelled as I stripped off my wet clothes and pulled my Edward sweater over my head.

'I'll shout it through this door if I have to!' she threatened.

I figured she probably would, so I shoved my headphones in my ear and turned my ipod on full blast, before crawling under my cover and eventually crying myself to sleep.

I startled awake a while later.

I glanced at my phone and saw two missed calls from Edward.

I ignored those and looked at the clock, noticing I'd been asleep for two hours.

I rubbed my eyes and pulled my earphones out.

I pushed the quilt down over my head and sat up.

Bang bang bang.

Alice was still fucking banging!

'Fuck off!' I mumbled running a hand through my hair.

Bang bang bang!

That did it!

I'd had enough of this fucking shit!

I got up, stormed across the room and flung the door open.

'Alice will you just fuck o...'

I stopped instantly when I saw it wasn't Alice at all.

Oooh! Bit of a cliffie there! :P

I hope you enjoyed it.

Please give me a review and let me know what you thought! : )

I'll try not to keep you in suspense too long :P

Keep reading!
