Chapter 16
Ever Since Edward and I have gotten back from England things have changed a lot. I wish I could say for the better, but it just made my life miserable and Edward' ten times more stressful then ever. Although Edward didn't mind being locked up in our dorm. We had ways to entertain ourselves. I stared uncomfortably at the magazine of us kissing. I had people on the street now recognized who I am. The cameras crowded the entrance of my dorm. I had people I never spoke to or seen come up to me and start talking to me. Some people were even curtseying! I was really starting to regret the decision. It was worst for Edward. He wouldn't stop hearing about it from his father. Which I can't imagine how angry Carlisle is at me, after that talk we had. He was constantly on his phone with him. Most of the time he sounded upset and frustrated. I knew I couldn't be in the way of him being in line for the throne but I was selfish. I needed him, I needed to be his not caring what anyone else thought. But I knew if he wanted to be with me he would have to give up the throne which I knew was not an option. I went to go meet Alice in the Cafe this morning. I walked in trying to stop the pixie girl. Then someone got in my way. It was Jessica. Great I thought. She will probably punch me and call me a bitch then spread rumors.
"Bella! Hi!" She came up to me and hugged me tightly, kissing both sides of my cheeks. Then she pulled away to look at me. "Haven't seen you in.. Forever!"
I looked at her confused, playing along a little. "We were both just at Edward's Holiday Ball not to long ago."
"Exactly!" She smiled wider which was creeping me out.
"Right, You were antagonizing me about my personal life." I reminded her.
"Well I was only kidding with you," My eyebrows rose as I nodded listening to her excuse.
"We must hang out soon! Like we use to!, Come meet my family! Of course Edward is invited too.." She paused, "You're so lucky to be dating Prince Edward!" She squealed in behind he fake smile.
"He's so lucky to be dating me," I responded firmly to her. She hit her palm against her forehead.
"Right of course, how right you are!" I stared at her for a bit suggesting she should go.
"Okay bye..." Annoyed I sounded with her.
"Alright we'll text me! Or call me Whenever you need me." I have he gave here a small smile and walked pass her. I sat down next to Alice.
"What did she want?"
"She wanted to know if I wanted to hang out with her."
"Jessica wanting to hang out with you? No offense but Jessica wouldn't give you the time of day. Plus the way she treats you,"
"I know, Alice don't worry I wouldn't fall for her bullshit."
"She was actually nice to me today, and suggested we go shopping all together, of course I said no," Alice said, took a sip of her drink. I shook my head laughing at the girl.
I walked back to my dorm trying to hide my face from the white flashes. I was surrounded by papparazzi walking with me. I knew there was nothing I could go about it. Edward told me to just ignore them and don't answer anything no matter how personal and incorrect the question is. As I finally got to my dorm I put my temple to my head. I couldn't wait to just spend the evening in Edward's arms.
"Edward?" I called out to him. Hearing nothing back, I walked around confused. "Edward," I yelled out again. I walked to his room to maybe finding him studying. He wasn't there. Getting a little worried to where he was. Well looks like my plan for tonight was not going to happen. I went to the kitchen to get a snack. As I went to put a plate on my table I saw note from him.
Love,
This morning my father needed me to attend an opening in California. I figured you wanted to sleep in a bit or go get coffee with Alice. Hope you have a good morning, I will be back before you notice I'm gone.
Edward
I already noticed he was gone. Ever since he got back all his father has him do is attend events all over America. He was gone at least four times a week. Going here and there, up and down. I've only been to a couple of these events, but only the one that were on weekends. Edward knew how important study was to me. I miss not waking up in bed with him, or seeing his face in the mornings. I reread the note over and over again as I ate. I even forgot what I was eating. I grabbed my cellphone and dialed his number. I only had to listen to the first ring before Edward picked up.
"Good morning love, what are you doing up at this hour?" I looked at the clock confused, it was only ten am.
"I went for a jog, then out to breakfast with Alice, I came home and your gone."
"I know I'm sorry, my father -"
"Yeah, I get it your father. But I never see you anymore. When you are home, I'm in class and when I'm home you're out somewhere."
"Bella maybe you should get some more rest, you seem moody."
"I'm fine. I just don't understand why you can't tell your father no. It's your life too."
"I wish I could Bella, for us, but I have duties and with duties comes responsibilities. You know that,"
I sighed guilty, "I'm sorry, I just-" I felt my stomach cramping and something coming up my throat. I put him on mute then ran to the bathroom and threw up violently in toilet.
"Bella!" I heard him on the other line. I didn't respond, I was to busy wiping my mouth. "Bella what's going on I'm getting impatient." I took him off mute to finally answer, but as I was about to answer until puking again.
"I'm coming home right now! I'll be there in less then an hour." He hung up the phone. I got up and sat on the toilet thinking... One... two... I counted in my head. Then it hit me. I was late...

I paced back and forth nervous to how I was about to tell him. Or could I even tell him? What will everyone say? The press? My family? Edward? Oh god! What will Carlisle say, will he not allow me to see Edward anymore? This is exactly what Carlisle didn't want distractions. We aren't even married!... Maybe I'm not. Don't worry yet I thought to myself. It could be food poisoning and I'm getting worked up about it for no reason...
