Prologue: Give Me a Chance?
BPOV
My words were lost in my throat and my mind was a blank as I saw his lips hover dangerously close to mine. His eyes were intense emerald flames and I found myself all the more dazzled by that intensity. He leaned in even closer and any doubt I had of his intention to kiss me before was now erased.
"Edward-"
But my lips were silenced as he chose that precise moment to act upon his intentions. His lips came crashing down on mine and I felt such fiery passion in the way his lips moved against mine that my will to resist crumbled to dust before I found myself reciprocating to his kiss, with just as much passion as him if not more. My mind was whirling chaotically and all reason and logic was lost upon me. Kissing Edward was such a powerful sensation that even if the building not too far away suddenly exploded then I would not have taken any notice, for fear of losing the precious time that could be spent feeling Edward's lips on mine.
I felt his tongue pleading for entrance and I granted it just that almost instantly. Our kiss deepened and we moulded together like we were meant to do this since the day we were born. Eventually, we separated for the necessity of oxygen and breathed heavily, Edward rested his head against mine, his sweet breath fanning my face.
I felt a raindrop fall on me and it seemed that that single plop brought me to my senses. I had just kissed Edward. That was wrong. I shouldn't have done that. I jerked away from him, causing hurt to cross Edward's face.
"Bella" he said reaching out for me.
I moved away from him.
"Bella, look I know I shouldn't have done that but I can't take it anymore. You need to know the truth. I love yo-"
"NO! DON'T EVEN FINISH THAT!" I screeched.
"Bella-"Edward began beseechingly with requesting eyes but I looked away. Those eyes had already trapped me one too many times.
"Just give me a chance" Edward pleaded. I didn't need him to tell me to know what he meant. But I couldn't give him a chance. I didn't deserve a chance to give out chances. The fact that I had just let him kiss me was proof enough that all I ever did was make mistakes.
"No! I'm not giving you any chances Edward." I stated, shaking my head.
"But Bella I love you and I know now that you feel the same way too." Edward declared with such self-assurance that I couldn't stop myself from shrieking in a fit of mad fury:
"No! I don't love you. I admit that I loved you once but not anymore. You lost your chance already Edward and I'm never giving you another one ever again."
Edward looked like I had just shattered his heart but I couldn't let that deter me. I needed to do what was right and so before I was tempted to rush back into Edward's arms and sob I turned and ran, ignoring Edward's repeated cries of my name. I ran into my dorm room and flung myself upon my bed, sobbing my heart out with my face buried into my pillow. My lips were still tingling from Edward's amazing kiss but the old wound in my heart reopened and I felt a staggering ache that I thought had disappeared long ago, but now I realized that it had never disappeared. It had just been sealed and now it reopened and the pain was worse than ever.
Please review. I changed things around a bit for the purpose of making this story a lot better. As you might have guess and is the case for a lot of stories. The events of this prologue does not occur till somewhere in the middle of the story. Reviews make me happy.
