Ben had been very tempted to put his schoolwork on hold and come back home with Angela when she left, but pretty much everyone he knew told him that it would just be better if he finished out the semester and wait for winter break to see Angie. Ben didn't like the thought of being so far away from Angela for that amount of time, but there wasn't much he could do for it. It would be a pain to take the classes he was currently in over again, when he was so close to being done.
So he waited, rather impatiently, though he was sure to text, call, or E-Mail his girlfriend at least once a day. It was almost like they weren't separated, but he wouldn't have been looking so miserable the past few weeks if that had been the case. The drive back home didn't take more than a few hours and he only stopped by his house to unload his stuff and say hi to his parents, before he headed over to Angela's place.
His Dodge Neon slid into an empty parking space in Angela's driveway a mere half hour after his return to Forks. He knew he shouldn't look so happy right then, not with the death of Mr. Weber being so fresh, but he couldn't suppress the grin on his face as he knocked on the front door. A pie, yet another dessert baked by Mrs. Cheney for the Weber family, was in his hands as he waited.
