I knew this day was coming. It had been coming since we first started going out. It was just a matter of time before he realized that we couldn't possibly be meant for each other. He was perfect, and I wasn't. He had messy bronze hair that layered around his face. His eyes were bright green. They were so stunning and beautiful that I frequently lost my train of thought when I looked in them. His nose was straight, and his lips were red and full. He was lean, but also muscular and tall.

I had long, brown hair, brown eyes, and a heart-shaped face. Nothing very exciting about me. My features were very plain. I'm surprised we lasted this long at all.

"Bella," Edward started. "I don't know how to say this, but I don't think I can keep seeing you." He looked sad as he said this. Good sign, at least he cared about not hurting my feelings.

I had mentally prepared myself for this, so I didn't start bawling like I could have. I tried to smile a little to show him it was okay. I guess my face didn't show it because he started to look worried.

"Don't look like that, don't worry I'm not going to make this hard for you. I don't want to make you feel guilty for breaking up with me. You did what you had to do. And thank you for doing it in person rather than texting me." I said, trying to be brave. I hope he didn't see how much it hurt to say. Especially while trying to smile.

"Thanks Bella, you're the best." He said.

After that, he pulled me into a tight hug. This did nothing to help me not cry As my arms wrapped around him, a tear escaped from my eye. I quickly wiped it away before he noticed. It was then that I saw his brothers. Emmett and Jasper were there. I didn't really mind, they were like my brothers as well. I knew they wouldn't make fun of me. I hoped they didn't notice my tear. If they did, they would probably tell Edward just to make him feel guilty, something I was trying to avoid. I pulled out of Edward's arms before my hidden emotions blew up.

"See you around, Edward." I said and waved before turning away.

"Bye." He replied a little quietly.

I walked as quickly as I could to get out oh the room without it looking suspicious. My tears didn't wait that long. They poured out seconds after I turned away from him. My body heaved at the power of them. There were tears streaming down my face before I reached the door.

"Bye." I said a little too quietly, probably.

I turned back to my brothers.

"Why did you break up with her? You guys seemed like you were perfect for each other. I don't get it. You always had so much fun together." Emmett said. He was the oldest of the three of us. And also the biggest. He had huge muscles and he was super tall. My other brother Jasper, was younger than Emmett, but older than me. He was quieter than Emmett, but he was still curious.

"I broke up with her because…"

"Yes?" Emmett impatiently demanded. He always enjoyed being in everyone's business.

"Because Tanya is back in town." I replied lamely.

Emmett being Emmett, started shouting at me, while Jasper looked at me apologetically. He could always sense what other people were feeling. I guessed that he could tell what I was going through.

"You dumped her because of that friggin' moronic ditz!? Emmett yelled at me. I've never seen him that angry since we were really young and Jasper ripped up his Pokémon cards. It was quite terrifying.

"Yes?" I whispered. It sounded like a question.

"What were you thinking? All she wants to be is popular! She doesn't care about anyone but herself! Since her life sucks, she just wants someone to go down with her!" Emmett continued yelling at me.

I was a little hurt by that statement. Sure, Tanya had used people in the past, but when she had called me last night, she did sound different.

"No she doesn't!" I yelled back. "Besides, Bella didn't seem that miserable when I did break up with her. She didn't even look sad!"

Emmett's face was twisted in anger as he yelled back again.

"Are you kidding me? Did you even listen to her voice breaking every time she talked? Did you see her lips trembling when she turned away? Did you see her eyes fill with sadness when she looked at you the last time? When you were hugging her, did you notice that she took her hand off your unworthy back? That was to wipe away a tear!" He spat at me.

"Did you really not notice anything?" Jasper asked softly.

"Did you not see how heart broken she was when she left?" Emmett added.

I shook my head, shocked. I honestly hadn't noticed anything of what they said. Part of me wanted to think they were lying just to make me feel guilty. But a bigger part wanted to believe them. Bella actually cared about me.

When we were going out, it was the truly one of the best times of my life. We always laughed when we were together. Whenever I was sad or upset she would always be there. Holding me in her arms, wiping away my tears, talking softly to me saying all the right things to make me feel better.

Even more than that, she was beautiful. Her long dark brown hair hung around her pretty face. Her brown eyes were so deep; I felt like I could forever be lost in them and never figure out the mystery of Bella. Her smile lit up the whole room. She blushed many times and every time she did it made me so happy. To see that I had an effect on her at all was wonderful.

Another reason I had broken up with her was because I couldn't deserve her. There was no way we could be meant for each other. I had thought that she would break up with me for the longest time. Then I realized that she probably wouldn't because she wouldn't want to hurt my feelings. I did it to free her of me.

This reason I would never admit to Emmett or Jasper. Ever.
