Bella felt a little guilty having made Lucien jump, but she felt as though she'd made it better by giving him a hug. She felt him tense and then understood why when he claimed he wasn't crying. Bella knew differently. She had expected him to push her away, however, he didn't. When he added coldly that he didn't need her sympathy she scoffed. " I wasn't giving you sympathy" She replied, a little hurt. Pulling away from Lucien. Bella couldn't, for the life of her, understand why he had to act so cold when other times he seemed as though he was capable of love and friendship. She sighed inwardly, very quietly. "Fine, cry alone, but don't bother me when your nightmares become a reality" she added, wondering why she had just said that. It was as though she couldn't help herself, as though someone had made her say what she was thinking. Bella just hoped Lucien wasn't going to punish her.<br/><br/>Something had changed in the air, it had become quite cold, she didn't know if Lucien was doing that or if there was something lurking in the shadows, but it creeped Bella out, and she wished she was anywhere but here.
