A/N: New Moon came on ABC Family yesterday and after laughing and yelling at the TV I decided to write a Twilight Drabble. I don't know if I will continue with following Bella or if I will follow other characters as well. The beginning dialogue came from the actual scene in New Moon when Edward leaves Bella in the woods. This is what Bella should have said. Enjoy!
"I don't want you to come" states Edward so stagnant. I can't believe what I am hearing it feels like he has stung me with a slap.
"You don't... want me" I stammer as I step back from him trying to understand.
"I'd like to ask one favor though." He says standing before me, how could he think I would do anything for him. He just broke my heart, but I like a fool I look up hopeful that maybe he sees the pain in my eyes. That maybe just maybe he realizes that he could never hurt me.
"Don't do anything stupid or reckless-do you understand" he states judgingly.
"I…" I begin to speak but Edward cuts me off before I can. "Don't worry. You're human. Time heals all wounds for your kind; particularly if you're not reminded."
I start again to voice my thoughts but the words fail me as he continues talking, "Try to understand. Every second with you is about restraint. You're too fragile. I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not" he continues his rant sharply adding "You're not good for me, Bella."
I look at him, his hard face and his resolve, "Can I talk now or are you going to continue to cut me off" I say raising my voice.
Edward seems shocked at the rise in my voice and the stone cold look on my face, if he could read my mind he would really be shocked.
"You don't want me. I'm no good for you. You want to stop pretending" I say the words slowly processing them, letting them roll off my tongue. I take a breath, "FUCK YOU, EDWARD!"
I yell it strong and I yell it proud.
"Bella…" he begins but I cut him off this time.
"I love you and you make me feel like shit for it. If you want to leave Edward then leave but don't be a dick about. Don't go into my room and steal my memories; don't take me into the woods to make this easier on yourself."
"Bella, I'm doing this for you"
"Edward, you are not my father" I stare at him like I'm seeing him for the first time. "You're just a boy…a boy stuck in time."
After that realization is spoken I turn around and begin the walk back to my house. I don't think that Edward was ever meant for me. Maybe I was just living in a romance novel; wanting this being that we normally see as dangerous to be my prince charming. I don't think that prince charming actually exist, anyway. I don't think I ever really did believe in one, Edward just blinded me from that fact.
As a kid I was always bring home wild things from the woods; stray dogs and frogs. My mom always said I liked a good project.
I finally made it to the back door of my house without so much as tripping over myself; I never turned back to see if he had followed me or not.
"Thank God, Charlie isn't home yet" I say out-loud while rushing through the door and heading to the kitchen. I try my hardest to hold back the tears. Trying to focus my mind on something else, I decide to start dinner.
I open the cabinets pulling out a pot to boil water.
While gathering the other ingredients on the countertop; I stop my eyes go every which way as I hear a noise coming from upstairs. I rush to my bedroom bursting through the door to see Edward going out of my window.
I would have normally rushed towards it, maybe even; shouted his name begging him to come back: but I didn't.
Instead I go to my bed to see all the things I knew he probably had planned to take away with him: spread across it.
The photos of me and him, me and Alice, and me with his family at my birthday party the day before. All of the gifts I was given laid out before me and all I wanted was to throw them out of the same window he had just jumped out of.
"COWARD!" I scream at the top of my lungs.
I turn away from them and head down the stairs to finish cooking.
