I woke up having had the longest sleep in weeks. It helped being able to just sleep without worrying or having something on my mind. Finally it was the weekend, I could find out what was bothering me because there was no school. I could focus on the other things. I got dressed and went down stairs to watch TV. I sat down and put a movie on, the phone rang so I left my dad to answer it. He picked it up but walked out of the room so I didn't think anything more of it.
When the movie had finished I went to get some breakfast. As I walked into the kitchen my dad was still on the phone. He seemed to be upset like something was bothering him. I went over to him and made the kind of who's on the phone face. He covered the phone with his left hand and whispered,
"Bella don't worry, I'll sort it."
That instantly made me terrified.
I waited until he was finished. That half an hour lasted forever. It felt like days as I stood there waiting for him to finish. I would have been able to figure out what was happening if he was speaking. I just watched him listen, he didn't respond once.
When he was finished I gave him a minute to just take in what ever he had just been told. I pulled him a chair and he sat down, his head sank into his hands. Tears ran down his cheeks as he took deep breaths. I figured that I shouldn't ask what had happened just yet.
I made him a cup of coffee and placed it in front of him.
"Thank you." he said with a small grin.
I thought it would be the right time to ask but I didn't need to.
"Bella we have to move. I can't afford it anymore. We will have to move down to Cornwall with your gran."
Cornwall was 3 hours away. 3 hours away from my school, 3 hours away from my friends and 3 hours away from Jake.
"When do we have to move?"
"We have 2 months."
2 months left.

I rang Jake and told him everything.
"Bella, I'd take you out but I'm not around."
"Its fine, I understand." I just couldn't understand. Why? Why did he not want to spend time with me anymore? Why did he always make things up? Why did he never speak to me about anything?
Then there was a knock at the door. I thought it was Jake, I was so pleased he had come. He was just telling me he wasn't around but he was! He wanted to surprise me. I left my dad to get the door so Jake would come up stairs. But he didn't. Not because he didn't want to, because it wasn't Jake. Someone did come upstairs though. It was Matt, Matt came upstairs.
I was waiting in my room. My room was quite small, well for a 15 year olds bedroom. My bed was in the corner facing the door,the wall next to my bed was covered in posters and so was my wardrobe. I had a small desk next to my bed with a window above it. Then I had my wardrobe on the opposite side from my bed. That pretty much filled my room. I had a bit of space in the middle where a purple soft carpet lay.
I could hear Matt walking around but I left him to find my room. A little while later he knocked on my door.
"May I come in? Its Matt." He said with a rather posh accent.
"Sorry no boys allowed." I replied with a giggle.
"Oh thats a shame I'd bought some dark chocolate, I guess I'll have to eat it all."
It then hit me that Matt probably knew everything there was to know about me. Jake will have told him everything. Just like I tell Molly everything about Jake. I found it quite odd how someone who I barely knew already knew everything about me, but I knew nothing about him. Jake had told me some things but I never really ever took in what Jake said I just loved to hear him speak. His voice was so soft and beautiful.
I ran to the door and opened it. Matt stood there with no chocolates in his hand it was just him.
"So where is the chocolate, ay?"
"What chocolate?" Matt whispered.
He stepped in. This all was about to change everything, and there was nothing I could do about it. I sat on my bed while he slowly walked closer. He then puled out the chair that was tucked into my desk and sat down. He turned his head to look at all my posters.
"Wow." He mumbled.
I stood up and walked towards my wardrobe to show him the posters. I pointed at one and explained who it was and why I liked them. When I finally got to the last one he stood up and walked over. I waited for him before I showed the poster.
"How did you know dark chocolate was my favourite?"
He turned to my face and looked into my eyes. I knew how he knew about my favourite chocolate, I don't know why I asked it just slipped out at the wrong moment. He grabbed my hands and held them lightly.
"Well Bella, I just know."
He moved his head closer to mine and brushed the back of his fingers down my cheeks then he rested his hands on my neck.
"Bella." He went to kiss me but I pulled back. Matt stepped back then ran downstairs.
I felt tears run down my cheeks even though I didn't know what I had done.

I heard someone run upstairs, usually I would have jumped up and double checked everything was fine and that I was doing something normal but then I didn't care. My dad rushed into my room without knocking and ran up towards me.
"Bella, are you okay? What happened? What did he do? Are you hurt?"

All the questions swirled around in my head and I started to feel all dizzy. I felt faint and like I was rocking. People were shouting at me so I covered my ears. I started to breathe really fast and tears ran down my cheeks. I couldn't think straight. Everything that had happened I was re-living in my head. Every gold moment and even the worst ones. I thought I was dying. You know when they say your whole life flashes before your eyes, thats what was happening I could see all different parts of my life. Even from when my mum was alive. It was nice to see her again. You know properly.
It was like a live photo album of my life, I'm not so sure how long it lasted but that was the last thing I remembered.

The next thing I knew I was lay on my bed and it was all blurry but I could just make out that my dad was sat next to me. I felt all hot and bothered but I had a cold flannel on my forehead that cooled me down. I had no idea what had just happened, one minute I thought that I was about to die then I woke up in my bed with my dad next to me.
"What happened?" I said trying to sit up.
"You need to lie down Bella don't even think about getting up."
So I slid back down underneath my cover.
"You fainted Bella, its nothing you need to worry about. Just get some rest and some time out of everything for a bit. Your too stressed out."
I knew that and I knew why but there was no way anyone else was finding out.
