Reasons
"We're getting a divorce." My mom said flatly.
"What? Mom I know things have been bad, but-"
"I'm sorry honey." My dad said taking a step toward me.
"No. No. NO." I just kept repeating that word. I then flew out the door trying to run away.
I went to the school. I sat in the parking lot next to my car. My face was buried in my hands. I sobbed. I then heard someone slide down next to me.
"Are you ok?" I recognized the smooth and gorgeous voice. It was Edward Cullen.
He couldn't see me like this.
"Yea. I'm fucking fine, so leave me the hell alone." I snapped.
His face was still gentle.
"Ok." He started to get up. I then grabbed his ice-cold hand.
"No. I'm sorry. Stay, please." I said started to practically beg. He then slid back down.
"What's wrong Jessica?"
"my parents are getting divorced. It's been bad for a long time, and I felt like I had to prove I was something to stay together for. But obviously I failed."
"I'm sorry."
"No, you're not. You hate me cause I'm a bitch." I said softly.
He laughed softly.
"You're not. I know you're a good person. People always have a reason to act the way they do. I like this side of you."
"What side?"
He then took one hand and wiped away a single tear.
His hand was ice cold against my soft skin.
"The gentle and sensitive side. You've always had you're guard up. Now it's finally down." He murmured in my ear.
I just stared into his glowing golden eyes.
"It's going to be ok, Jessica. I promise."
I nodded cracking a smile.
He then leaned in oh so slowly.
"Don't move." He murmured. I followed his order.
His ice-cold lips pressed against mine. His hand then wrapped around my waist while mine was on his cool cheek.
He then pulled away suddenly.
I jumped back.
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked stupidly.
"No, you're too perfect." He whispered and giving me a gentle kiss on my cheek.
the end.
