Right
about then my heart sank. Edward never acted this coldly towards me
and I was frightened.
"Edward? Edward please tell me what is
going through your head."
"You went over to La Push yesterday,
that's correct?" Anger started to boil inside me, what was this;
jealousy?
"I told you I was going over there, with my father. I
don't understand, you were fine with it. What-"
"Please do
not think for a minute that my anger is coming from you going over
there. You know that I can't stand that… mutt and I have only an
ounce of respect for Billy and that is because Carlisle raised me to
respect others no matter their past." Okay so now I was just
confused. I walked over to him and tried to stand before him and he
wouldn't even look me in the eyes. Frustrated, I lifted his chin up
and forced his gaze upon me. He answered by gripping my arm and
analyzing my right hand.
"Are you going to tell my how you
injured you hand?" I knew now that I was busted and I refused to
lie to the person who gave light to my world.
"Edward, Jake
tried to… well no he did, kiss me. I was shocked and angry so I
punched him. I just was more hurt from it then he was." He was
silent for a few moments.
"I see."
"You see? Edward what
is going on!" By this point tears were streaming down my face and I
was yelling.
"Bella I know that you care for me-"
"I love
you!"
"I know that you care for me, but I also know that the
more spontaneous part of you loves Jacob and I cannot fight the pull
that you two have. So I will no longer try. I am leaving you, you are
now free, free to go and be with Jacob." He leaned in, kissed my
forehead. He then walked to the door, leaving me to fear if he
forever turned his back on me.
