Old Love is Never Lost
A Twilight FanFiction by Beth H
Prologue
I leaned in to kiss Ruby's cold cheek as we approached her doorstep, but she pulled away.
"Edward, please," she said regretfully, "Don't."
"Why not?" I asked, confused, "Am I not allowed to kiss my girlfriend?"
"I told you already. I'm not your girlfriend. That was just . . . a friendly date."
Anger and hurt bubbled up inside me. Why couldn't she just say she was my girlfriend? Didn't she like me? I was offended.
"Well," I tried to stop the lump in my throat from affecting my voice, but it was no use. "Can you be my girlfriend?"
"I . . . " she paused. "I'm sorry, but I can't."
"Why not?" I was furious now. I'd always had a problem controlling my anger when I was hurt or offended. I tried to calm myself down. "Don't you care about me?"
"Of course I do, Edward!"
"Then be my girlfriend." I insisted.
"I can't! It's not that easy."
"How isn't it? Are you . . . embarrassed about me?"
"No! It's just . . . " Her beautiful voice trailed off.
"Just what?" I asked quickly, trying to hide my vulnerability.
"I'm not right for you!" she blurted out. "I . . . I'm just different, okay?!" She turned into her house, and quickly slammed the door in my face.
I stood there, for who knows how long, with my jaw hanging wide open and my eyes starting to give in to the tears in my eyes.
A/N: Tell me what you think so far! I'd like to hear it! Also, any mistakes that are pointed out are appreciated.
