I do not own twilight…yup, nothing new…
Edward was standing next to a blonde woman, she was gorgeous and tall. She had green eyes, and streaks of bronze hair in her blonde hair. She was beautiful.
But that wasn't the worst part; it wasn't the worst part that Edward had lied to me.
No, the worst part was that Edward was holding her in his arms, in a tight embrace.
She was kissing her forehead, her cheeks, and looking into her eyes lovingly.
I could no longer look with the tear coming down my face. I turned for the bathroom and ran as I cried.
I had a hard time making it to the bathroom, with being a world class klutz and all. People were probably staring at me as I ran to the nearest bathroom, where I proceeded to cry my heart out, but I didn't care. The one thing I was sure of in my life currently, I was no longer certain of.
I had given my entire heart to Edward.
Apparently that didn't mean a single thing to him.
My mind kept playing the scene I saw minutes ago over and over in my head. The beautiful girl in his arms, and he seemed happy.
No, not just happy, but complete. He looked like he was fine, like all the pieces had come together for him. I no longer knew if I was a piece of him, of his life.
I sat in the first stall of the women's bathroom, located next to a Starbucks with a huge wad of toilet paper in my hands. When I realized that, I knew how pathetic I was being. I mean, this already happened to me once, why the hell am I sitting here getting walked on by some boy again? Kyle damaged me enough, I know how to console myself, I don't need Edward Freaking Cullen.
Even though he was the best thing that ever happened to me.
No, I can do this. I can stop crying. I don't need a boyfriend; I don't need any flipping guy.
No, you need him.
I knew one thing for certain, I need to get out of this mall and figure out what the heck is going to happen now. And how was I going to get home? Maybe a cab? I know I am not riding with Edward.
I unlocked the stall and there was an elderly woman at the sink, she gave me a sympathetic smile. She reminded me of my grandma.
"Are you alright sweetheart?"
I shook my head no.
"A boy?" She asked.
I nodded. "Well you are too good for him, you can get through this hun." She said rubbing my arm, and left.
Could I do this?
I asked myself, looking myself in the mirror. I fixed my appearance so I wouldn't look like a total train wreck walking through the mall. But I couldn't really fix much, with my eyes being bright red. Oh flipping well, let the world see how made me feel.
Maybe he will see me.
Then maybe he will feel like a piece of shit, like how I currently feel.
With that a gathered my thing and walked out of the bathroom, I just need to get to the entrance of the mall. A cab would definitely be there.
Only one problem, I have to walk by the bakery.
Hopefully he won't notice me; he sure as hell didn't the first time!
I didn't look into the shop that time; I walked as quickly as possible without drawing attention to myself.
Unfortunately, I was not successful with my mission.
I was well past the bakery and could see the entrance of the mall when I heard a faint "Bella!", being called out.
I ignored him and kept walking.
"BELLA!" He yelled louder, and I could here his pace increase as he began to run.
My breathing became heavier knowing that I would not be able to make it outside and into a cab before he caught up with me.
"Bella!" I heard him call again; he was within 30 feet now.
I looked around me for an escape, but found none.
I would have to suck it up like a big girl.
I had to face him, confront him.
I took a deep breath and turned around.
I was met with his beautiful face, and I immediately felt pain. If he cared for her, why was he running after me? Why his is pulling me around? Just give me my heart back, and let me try to repair it.
His green eyes were wide, as he took in my appearance, his breathing was heavy, and he look as hot as anything with his hair a little messed up.
We just starred at each other for a minute. I don't know why he didn't start talking, but I was soaking him in, remembering him.
"Bella? Didn't you hear me calling you? And why are you crying, baby? Did someone hurt you?" He asked with anger flooding his eyes.
Why was he doing this to me, why did he care when he had her? She was perfect, why does he pretend.
"Stop!"
He appeared startled by my sudden outburst.
"Bella, wh-"
"Edward, be quiet, I'm riding a cab home, okay?" I turned around and started walking.
But he grabbed my arm and turned me into his welcoming body. His scent washed over me welcoming home, like a fish to the ocean. His arms surrounded me and it felt natural to be there.
But I had to remember that I no longer belonged there, it was blonde girl's place.
I wiggled myself out of his embrace.
I could feel my eyes get heavier, and the water start to blob up my vision.
"I need to go." I was going to start crying, and I didn't want to make a scene. I had gotten to many stares already just with my appearance, I didn't need this.
But he grabbed my more forcefully this time, "No, not until you tell me what is going on with you!"
That made me angry, could ne not put the pieces together?
He knew that it would hurt me if I ever found out, s he just wanted to hide it, like a coward. Well that did it for me. If he wanted to act like an idiot and make a scene in a mall then I would let him. I needed to say this to him sometime, why not now?
"I saw you!" I yelled at him.
That's when he realized he had been caught. He mouth fell open, and his eyes seemed to get wider and pop out a little, like how Charlie's would look when he got mad.
"What?" He asked, he seemed calm now. How in the world could he be calm now? After I just said that I had caught him!
"I saw you, in the bakery. You know the one where you and your little blonde friend were hugging and kissing like best friends, or should I say boyfriend and girlfriend? Oh, and it would have been nice to know that I had been replaced, but it was fun figuring that out on my own thanks! I mean I love crying my eyes out in the bathroom at a mall!"
"Bel-"
"No," I interrupted him, "I don't care, shut up and listen to me! I loved you! I still do, that's why this hurts so much! I gave you my whole heart…all of it! I told you everything! Don't you understand? I have never told anyone else what I told you." I shook my head the tears rolling down my face, and I started laughing…sadly.
"It's funny isn't it? I told you everything, all of me, what makes me who I am, all the pain, and I trusted you with that, but you don't even have the decency to tell me that you don't even love me anymore-"
It was Edward's turn to interrupt me, "SHUT UP!" He yelled so loudly that I was scared. The look in his eyes, I could tell he was upset, probably for getting caught.
There were also a couple of people watching us, one lady looked worried, and the others seemed nosy.
He was still breathing deeply, but from anger now.
"How the hell could you ever even think that I didn't love you, for even a second?" He asked me, and there was disappointment in his voice. I laughed again.
"You don't get it, I saw you with her! I CAUGHT YOU!"
"I love you Bella!"
"Shut up, don't say that."
"It is the only thing that I would die for in this world."
"Stop lying to me!"
"I am not lying!"
And with that he ripped the bags out of my hand, grabbed my face and kissed me. He kissed me like he had never kissed me before. It was rough, yet filled with love. He had to pull away for air.
"I love you, Bella, and what you saw…it's not what you think it was."
He whispered into my hair as I started crying. He picked up my bags with one arm and the other one was around me. He led me out to his car with people watching us the whole way.
I was surprised that no one had called security the whole time.
He put my bags in the back, then opened my door and buckled me in as I cried.
He kissed me again before he shut the door.
He got in on his side and started the car.
The only sound that was made was my sobs. Edward eventually pulled over in a deserted parking lot.
He sighed and turned off the car.
He then turned to me.
And I cried even harder once I saw him.
"Bella, what you saw…it not even…God, no…it definitely not like that!"
He said wrapping his arms around me.
"How could you ever think that, after how many times I have told you I love you?" I gripped his shirt wiping my tears in it.
"Bella, God this isn't how I wanted to say this, but oh well."
He sort of laughed and shook his head while gripping me tighter.
His voice became extra soft, and caring, "Bella, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know that. One day I am going to marry you, and we are going to be a family, do you understand that? I don't even see other women, they are just there. I only see you."
I had to look him in the eyes, to see if he meant this.
And when I did, it was true.
There was not hint of lying in his voice or eyes.
"What?" I asked him, my voice hoarse.
He smiled a bit and chuckled, one of my favorite sounds.
"Well that wasn't me proposing or anything, me proposing is going to blow you're socks off. But that…that is a promise, and a little preview of what is to come."
My forehead wrinkled, I couldn't keep up.
So he loves me, but I still need to know who the girls is!
"But that girl! I saw the way you looked at her! You love her! I can tell these things Edward."
He sighed again, "I do love her, but not in the way you are thinking of."
"You see Bella, I need to tell you the truth."
"About what?"
"About my childhood."
