Bella sighed at the kitchen table of hers and Edward's cottage as she closed a booklet for a college she was looking at, knowing that she couldn't go to college because she had to look after Nessie, wishing that she could like she wanted to just before she had Nessie. She sighed and got up from the table, going to the kitchen to start making some dinner for Nessie

Esme walked into the kitchen, she had just been hunting & she had heard someone in there. She smiled when she saw Bella starting to make dinner for Nessie. "Hello Bella," she greeted her daughter. "How are you today?" She asked then frowned when she saw that Bella looked sad.

"Hey Esme" Bella smiled a little, looking up at her mother in law, busying herself so she wouldn't pick up on her mood "I'm fine, it's been a quiet day" bella told Esme, concerntration on the food she was preparing

"If you had nothing to do you could have came hunting with me," Esme said. She looked down at the kitchen table & saw college information books. "Bella, what were you doing reading college information books?" She asked, picking up one of the books.

"Oh, they were just sitting around from before Nessie was born, I just found them and was going to throw them out" Bella said, avoiding Esme's gaze as she went over and picked them up, throwing them into the bin on her way back to the kitchen. "If you want we can go hunting after i finish making Nessie's dinner" Bella offered

Esme could easily see that Bella was lying. "We can go hunting & you can tell me the truth about the college information books." She said, watching Bella as she continued to cook.

"Really, they were just sitting around from when Edward and I were talking about colleges before Nessie, I found them and thought I had better throw them out" Bella said again, keeping her eyes on the stove as she stired the pasta scause for Nessie's pasta. In her opinion, Edward spoiled her when he let her get away without eating human food for days on end if Alice took her away on a shopping trip. Whenever Bella got back she would soon learn that Nessie hadn't had a single bit of human food in days

Esme smiled, she knew how to get the truth out of Bella. "Look at me & tell me that then I'll believe you." She told Bella, knowing that would get Bella to tell the truth.

Bella shock her head slightly, shaking the hair that was covering her face out of the way, looking at Esme "T-they are old books from when Edward and I were looking at colleges before Nessie was born" Bella lied, stuttering slightly, her eyes darting away from Esme

"Your lying," Esme said. "Now please just tell me the truth, Bella." Bella was a bad liar but at least it made it easy to know when she was lying. "You really shouldn't be lying to me, you know you can tell me anything."

Bella sighed and shook her head slightly, turning her attention back to the cooking "It doesn't matter, I can't anyway" she muttered "This should be cooked in a few minutes then we can go" Bella told Esme as she checked on the pasta, letting the scause simmer, pulling it off the stove to cool down, ready to heat up when Nessie got home

"We can go later, I'd like to know why you were ready those books first." Esme said, folding her arms across her chest. "Please Bella, just tell me why."

Bella sighed, knowing that Esme wasn't going to give us as she drained the water out of the pasta "Because I want to go do college, but it doesn't matter, I can't, I know that, I'll just wait a few years, I have to look after Nessie anyway, especially with her starting school, I can go next time" she said, keeping her gaze from Esme, not waiting to be told that she could go if she wanted to, knowing that she couldn't

"Bella, you can go to college if you want to. Nessie isn't a baby anymore and there are other people who can cook her food and make sure she's safe at school." Esme said, smiling. She thought it would be good for Bella to go to college.

Bella shook her head "No, it's my responsability to look after her, I can go next time we move after she's left me" she told Esme, grabbing her cell phone off the bench and put it in her pocket "Ready to go?" she asked
