I Don't Own Any Property Of The Twilight Franchise. I Just Own My Imagination Which is running wild right about now.
The sky was dismal and grey. Matching her mood.
Driving with no idea where she was headed. Tears blinded her. Rain started to pour making her vision blurry as flashes of what brought her here stated to run through her mind.
His Face. His Words. The Embarrassment The people who witnessed it.
1 Hour Earlier
After talking to her mom she was sure she was ready for this, ready to let him know. What she kept inside her all these years. Today was the day and there was no going back.
She bounded up the steps and knocked on the door.
Tap

She heard footsteps running down the stairs and a few seconds later the door opened to reveal him. He was beautiful and he had a smile on his face happy to see his best friend.
"Bella! I Thought you weren't coming over today" he says with surprise.
"I Wasn't but I changed my mind, I need to talk to you" she replies.
"Sure" he says still smiling.
"It's important can we go inside" she said biting her nails.
He opens the door and she steps in the house.
"Edward I have something to tell you that I've been wanting to say since we first met" she gets out in a rush.
"What is it?" he says softly.
She looks down for a moment heart fitting to burst from her chest. This was not the time to chicken out she told herself. It was now or never.
She looks into his dazzling green eyes "Edward I love you, I loved you since kindergarten and I need to know if you feel the same" she spoke with confidence she didn't know she had.
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, his face changed he look horrified and her stomach dropped but she found her voice and asked again.
"Do you love me Edward?" she asked.
…..
…
…..
"No" he whispered.
It sounded in the quiet and hit her ears loud and clear. Her heart broke into pieces and she clutched at it.
"OK, I'll see you later" she whispered afraid if she spoke loud enough her voice would crack and the tears would come.
He opened his mouth to say something when down the stairs came Jessica. She stopped and looked from Edward to her; shock and a guilty expression on her face.
What caught her attention was that Jessica was wearing a shirt and not any shirt; it was his shirt besides that she was practically naked. She felt the crack again in her heart and she turned and ran.
She was sobbing more profoundly now alone in her car, she wiped her eyes and saw that she was at the beach, she always found herself here when she wanted to be alone and think about things but this time was different. She got out the car even though it was raining and trudged up the beach to the trail that led to the cliffs. She always went there to sit on the cliffs and watch the world down below. Standing on the cliff with the rain soaking her clothes she felt numb and shut off from the outside world but the pain came back full force and sucked in a breath, she wanted to take away the pain, the pain of his rejection and the pain of betrayal by Jessica. She was supposed to be her best friend, she confided in her about her feelings for Edward and she stabbed her in the heart. I want to be anywhere but here she thought and looked down the cliffs. When was the last time she cliff dived, when was the last time she felt the adrenaline rush from it, she wanted to feel that again anything but this and with that thought she stood on her toes and flung herself off the cliff.
