Running for Home Chapter 17

Bella

The tears don’t fall until Edward races down the street. I couldn’t quite get a read on his mood. He was reserved during the drive and seemed sad once we got to town, which I expected. I was sad too. I didn’t want to make a big production out of our separation since it’s only temporary. He seemed angry right before he left but I didn’t understand why. He couldn’t have been mad that I wasn’t going with him. After all, if he wanted me with to go with him, he would have just asked me. Right?

Maybe he was embarrassed about being caught snuggling with Eddie, though it doesn’t seem like something he would get upset over. I only left Eddie behind with him because I thought it would be helpful for Edward to have a reminder of us. Something happy and good to comfort him while we are apart.

I decide to wait until I go to bed to call him and then I realize I don’t have his cell phone number. Aw, crap. He doesn’t have Charlie’s number either. Wow, this was poorly planned.
