"Hey Bells, the truck's all packed, are you ready?"

"Yea dad, let me just call Jake and tell were leaving soon."

This is it I thought to myself as I sat on my bed. I gazed around my room, looking at my empty book shelves and my bare floor. I wouldn't set foot into this room for three months. It's not a long time, and I'm used to leaving places behind, but Charlie's house is different. I know I'm not leaving for good, I'll be back but it's still sad I won't be here every day cooking and cleaning. Sounds like a drag setup, but I liked it.

I flipped my phone open and scrolled down to Jake's number and hit SEND.

"Hello"

"Hey babe, I'm ready are you on your way?" I asked in a light tone.

Yea, well I need to put the Rabbit back together, were leaving at eleven o'clock right? I still have some time before were leaving." He said as I heard something loud fall to the ground. "Fuck, look I need to go I dropped a part, I'll be there at eleven."

My light tone, turned into a tired, gloomy expression, "ok see you in a bit, bye."

I shut my phone a little hard then necessary. I was hurt and pissed. I'm leaving for college in two hours and my boyfriend acts like it's nothing. He doesn't even want to spend time with me before I'm going to be two hours away from him. Stupid rabbit. This not the first time I have been a little jealous over that car. Whatever.

I went down stairs to see where Charlie went to. I'll just spend my last few hours with him seeing how he's not coming with us to the school. I found him sitting in his favorite chair in front of the 42 inch flat screen.

"Hey Bells, come to join?" he stated with a small smile on his face. He was in casual clothes because he took the day off to help me load my truck. I think he knew I wouldn't have any help otherwise.

"Yea I can spare some time out of my oh-so-busy schedule" I said sarcastically as I plopped down on the couch.

"Where's Jake? Wasn't he supposed to come over a little early or something?"

My dad liked Jake, my boyfriend of two years. He's the son of Billy, one of my dad's closest friends.

My expression fell to a sad look. I looked down at my hands and started fidgeting with them. "He said he would be over at eleven. He had to put the rabbit back together." My dad could tell I was upset but didn't push me to talk about it. He knew better.

"I'm going to make a sandwich, do you want one?" I got up from the couch and turned to look at him. I needed to do something, I hated sitting around. He nodded and I turned to go into the kitchen. I fixed him a ham and cheese, and myself a tuna fish. I felt at home when I cooked anything, even something as small as a sandwich, and I'm sad I won't be cooking much after this.

I walked back into the living room and handed him a plate. We ate in silence, but this was normal for us.

"Sorry I couldn't make you something more formal like." I turned my head toward him, my face was twisted into a sympathetic look.

He waved me off. "Ehh, don't worry about it. You have a big day today, don't waste it slaving in the kitchen."

I heard a car pull up outside and knew who it was. You could hear Jake's base a mile away. I'm surprised he can still hear.

My dad rolled his eyes and stated the obvious, "Jake's here. That means you're leaving now?" He stole a look at me and his face fell into a somber look. He didn't like this anymore then I did but, I'd be coming home once in a while. We both stoop up and watched our feet. This was the hard part.

"Don't worry I'm going to be coming home on weekends and I'll make sure come see you every time ok?"

I brought my head up to look at his face. He shook his head and sauntered over to me. He grabbed up into a hug which was very affectionate for Charlie.

"Call me when you get there so I know your safe, and have some fun while you're there." He said in a weak voice.

"I'll try but you know me. I'm a book worm." I stated with a small laugh to try and lighten the mood. He pulled back and gazed at me.

"Your better get going, you know how Jake is about waiting."

I looked away from him and he let go of me completely. I grabbed my bag from the chair and headed out to the truck. Charlie stood in the doorway and leaned against the casing with his hands in his pocket.

Jake was sitting in his car when I came out. He opened his door to get out but I put my hand up to stop him. I was still hurt and didn't want him to touch me just yet. His brow creased into firm lines with confusion, but he shut his door. I walked up to his window.

"You ready?" I questioned him. I extended my hands out leaned forward on this window.

"Yea I'm all set. I'll follow you up?" He answered back with a question and smirk. He liked this game. Answer a question with a question. It frustrates me and he knows it but I wouldn't let him get a rise out of me today. He wasn't getting the satisfaction.

My brow was now tight and my eyes grew dark. "let's go" I stated with authority as I straighten up and walked gracefully back to my truck. Anger always allowed me to be graceful. I can't believe him. Playing games during a sad time. This distance wasn't even going to bother him.

I grabbed the door handle and yanked harder than needed. I jumped up into the sit and turned the key. The engine roared to life, I put my seatbelt on and looked toward the house. The anger left my face, and sadness enveloped it. Charlie was still standing there as I left him. His right hand was out of his pocket and waving slightly. He had a closed mouth smile on, but it didn't touch his eyes. They were full of concern, and sadness.

I waved back and gave him a smile too. I pulled away from the house and drove toward the interstate. Forks was behind me for now, and Washington University was ahead of me. I watched Jake follow me through my rear view mirror.

We drove for two long hours and finally made it to the campus. I was exhausted and that was only the driving. Now I had to get into my dorm. I turned right into the one way road that took us past all the dorms. There were cars everywhere parked like idiots. I continued down the narrow roadway until I saw WHEELER HALL on a building. That's me. I thought to myself. Home sweet home.

I found a spot to park just past the dormitory and Jake followed suit. I turned my truck off and got out. I looked at the small, red brick building with the balconies. I saw a table set up in front of the dormitory by the entrance. Jake was still in his car, texting someone. He didn't even bother to get out and ask how I was. This day was huge to me, and not once did he ask how I was feeling.

I shook my head at the thought and made me way over to the table. A girl was sitting at the table with a smile plastered all over. She looked like one of those happy go lucky people who couldn't ever be pissed off.

"Hello there!" she practically screamed at me. "I'm Heidi and I'll be your CA for the year. What's your name?"

"Bella Swan" I managed to say. I was a little afraid of her. Like she was going to jump over the table and hug me or something.

"Ok let's see hear….yup got it. Here you go" she handed me a form with a small envelop attached to it. "The sheet is for you to fill out and hand back in about the condition of your room, and the envelope contains your room key, and your key card to enter the building."

I nodded my head and ducked out of the way for the next person. I turned back towards my truck and Jake was finally out of his car. He was smiling at me so innocently. It made me sick. Anger returned yet again and I pushed past him to get the tail gate. I dropped the tail gate and climbed into the back with a lot of effort. I'm such a weakling. I grabbed my chest containing my clothing and handed it to Jake. I grabbed my duffle bag that was the size of me and my back pack containing my computer and school supplies. I pushed everything else to the end of the truck to it could be grabbed easily on the second trip.

We went into the hall, and up to the second floor. I was in suite room 202, and my dorm room was C. I would be living with one other girl in my room, but seven girls in my entire suite. I opened the suite door, and walked down the shot hallway into the common room. There was a door to my exact left labeled A, another one straight ahead on the left hand side labeled B. Straight ahead was the door to the balcony, then to my right across the common area was room D, and to the left, in the corner was my room. The bathroom was on the right of room D.

I made my way over my room, and opened the door with my new key. It swung open and was bare to the bone. There was two wardrobes, two desks with shelves, and two twin sized beds. I put my bags under the bed closest to me which was against the wall to my left. Jake put the chest under the bed too and looked around the room.

"It's so small and you're supposed to share?" He stated with an amused expression as he crossed his arms.

I rolled my eyes. "It's not like I have a ton of things. It will work." I said forcefully. I didn't like him dissing my living area. His room at home was smaller than this so he had nothing to talk about.

"Can you push the wardrobe against the side of the bed for me please" I asked him. He was well toned with defined abs, biceps and back muscles .

"Stand aside my lady, and let a man do his job" he puffed out his chest and said in a deep, manly voice. He strutted up to the wardrobe and pushed it effortlessly across the room and against my bed.

"Thank you." I left the desk where it was against the right side wall right in front of the door. It was a tight fit to get through the door, but I didn't for see any huge bodied people entering my room anytime soon.

"Let's go get the rest of my stuff" I walked out of my room and through the suite. I went to the truck to grab the white three drawer containers I bought for storage when I heard Jake from behind me.

"Shit" he said with no emotion. It wasn't angry, but it wasn't not a happy one either. It was like a oh well kind of shit.

I stopped what I was doing and turned around. I narrowed my eyes at him and pursed my lips. "What is it" I asked through gritted teeth. I'm sure I already knew the answer.

"I have to get going, I took an earlier night shift tonight for a friend." He said with no effort. "I hav e to get going now if I'm going to make it on time." His arms and shoulders shrugging up and falling back down to his sides. He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around for a hug. I kept my arms to the side and turned my face away from his.

"Bells, just stop ok? I'm sorry I have to leave now but I need to make money and you know that. The heavy stuff is already up there and all that's left is for you to set up the room. You don't need me for that" he added with a knowing look. He knew I wouldn't argue with him. His temper always got the better of him so I didn't push him. I just nodded and let out a loud sign.

"have a safe trip back" I whispered. He gave me a quick peck on the lips and smiled his white, perfect teeth at me.

" will don't worry I wouldn't put the rabbit it danger."

"God forbid" I let out under my breath.

He climbed into his car and shut the door. He turned the car, and bass vibrated through the ground.

"Love yea babe, talk to you at twelve o'clock midnight" he practically yelled.

"He pull away from me without even waiting to hear, "Love you" from my lips. He literally spent a total of five minutes with me today, and wouldn't be seeing me for 12 days. I wonder if he knew that part. Well he didn't seem to care so why should I.

I ran my hand through my hair roughly, trying to release some pent up anger. I'm going to be visiting the gym regularly to release this amount of stress I'm feeling. I turned back to my truck and looked at the three plastic storage containers I still had to carry to my room.

I let out a heavy sigh, and tried to grab one. It was half the size of me, and bulky to hold. This mixed with my inability to walk in two feet would make for an interesting trek. I began across the grass and made it to the sidewalk. I slowly made in the door and headed for the stairs. The container was beginning to slip from the grasp. I groaned loudly because I knew what would happen. There goes 15 bucks. As the container fell from my hands I saw someone with crazy, bronze hair to the left of me catch it real quick before it hit the red tiled flooring.
