I had driven for almost an hour to a random town as far away from Forks as I could. I hadn’t told Edward where I was going out of total embarrassment and had more or less disappeared late afternoon. The entire trip here I half expected to see him and Alice in his Volvo racing after me thinking I was off with the werewolves again. Even though it seemed crazy to just leave I knew if I had gone to a store in Forks and bought my supplies the rumours would spread like wild fire quickly; this was defiantly something I really didn’t need right now to top everything off.

‘The one fault of living in a small town where everyone knows everyone’ I mumbled to myself annoyed as I pulled up to a small chemist that seemed almost deserted. My body seemed to move on its own through the isles looking up and down the shelves; I grabbed what I came for and went to the counter. The cashier; a girl in her late teens looked me over eye brows raised.

“Whatever” she mumbled to herself scanning the item as I paid blushing silently.

The drive back to Forks was a slow one in my old truck; I was continuously staring down at the plastic bag I had wrapped up tightly laying on the passenger seat, it seemed to be taunting me wordlessly.

Although the trip home felt like forever once I saw the faint lights of the Cullen’s house approach my stomach rolled and I felt another wave of nausea pass through me, the third today.

It wasn’t until then that I realised it was dark, I looked at my watch; it was 10 pm how had I been out so long! As soon as I opened the door Edward ran to me with inhuman grace and speed pulling me into an embrace; I buried my face into his chest inhaling his scent; this seemed to calm my stomach for a moment as my body relaxed a little. He pulled me back a little gently as he studied my weary face.

“Bella what’s wrong? Where have you been, you look terrible!” his face was full of concern, I could he had been distressed the whole time I’d been gone. I tried to act calm and natural twisting my face into what I hoped could pass off as a smile as I steadied my voice.
