The amount of favorite and alerts I got from this one chapter astound me, you guys have no idea how much I appreciate your time.
Madeleine Jade and Twilightislovee make me feel like I have an out of body experience when I read their edits cause it makes it that much better.
All Characters Belong To Stephenie Meyer
I wrote this while listening to Broken by Rpattz, although not required it makes the experience much more enjoyable!
"Edward Cullen admits to having a love child on the way with label mate Isabella Swan while the musician continues to openly offer himself to women," Bella read with an irritated tone "really Edward, what the hell is this crap about?"
"She was asking me absurd questions and I swear I didn't fucking offer myself to her, I can't do these interviews anymore because either they paint me as the bad guy or you do," I said as I snatched the magazine from her and threw it into the garbage can where it belonged.
"Don't blame me in any of this! I don't control what you say!" She yelled as she began to put her coat on.
"No but everyone else does and where the fuck do you think you're going? I haven't spent any time with you this past week."
"I'm meeting up with Jacob," I growled instinctively at the mention of him. "Don't give me that look Edward, you know we're just friends."
"Cause it would be all sunshine and fucking rainbows if I told you me and Tanya had become bff's."
"I don't have time for this," she said as she swung the front door open.
"Love, don't leave like this. I hate fighting with you," I said with a defeated sigh, it was hard to be angry at her when my heart ached to be near her.
"I don't like it either. I love you, Edward and nothing is going to come between us. Jacob means a lot to me, I wouldn't have been able to keep it together when you were gone if it weren't for him."
I winced at the thought of the time we had spent apart, California almost ripped us apart and I would give anything to have changed the events that had occurred.
"I'm sorry. I love you Isabella, please forgive me?"
"Always," she responded as she stood on the tip of her toes to place a soft kiss upon my lips. I tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and watched her walk out the door.
Things had been tense with us since we found out that she wasn't pregnant. Neither of us was willing to confront the topic, which put us in a rut of sorts. It seemed like we barely touched lately and all her free time was spent with that cheating dog, Jacob.
I spent the rest of my day answering calls from my family, friends and mangers explaining that the article was bogus and Bella wasn't pregnant, I left out the fact that at once we had thought she was.
I was thankful when Ben called and invited me out with him to go ring shopping for Angela.

"I'm ready to take the leap, I hate to get all sappy but I don't want anyone else but her and I want to do this right before things get even crazier for us," Ben explained as we walked into another jewelry store to search for the perfect engagement ring for Angela. I couldn't help but feel like maybe this was the path that I should be on right now but it was not the path Bella and I were on, we were drifting apart.
"I guess you caught the marriage bug, especially since Jasper finally proposed to Alice," I said with a chuckle remembering how I let Jasper propose on stage and how Alice practically tackled him to the ground with excitement. The other guys were free to do as they pleased with their love life but I had to remain the elusive hard to get front man. Marketing me as some sort of sex symbol seemed to gain us some attention, which was bullshit, but apparently I had no more say in my life.
"When are you and Bella tying the knot? I thought you would've asked her by now."
"At this point I'm waiting to come home to an empty apartment and a letter telling me how much of a bastard I am," I said with a heavy sigh.
"Things will get better, you guys have never had it easy."
I was thankful to have my cousin to confide in, it seemed as if he was the only person I could reply on. Jasper would run and tell Alice everything, Emmett would never be able to give sound advice and I could never tell Rosalie anything without her coming to Bella's defense and ripping my balls off.

"Alright, this is enough. I'm tired of this Bella, this isn't us!" I threw my fork into the sink, which caused her to flinch in response.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she responded casually.
"Bullshit! All we do is fight and you shy away every fucking time that I try to touch you. I can't fix this if I don't know what I did wrong."
"You? It always has to be about you! Poor Edward has had it so tough in life, for once did you think that maybe this is all about me?"
"What the hell are you talking about Bella?" I was trying my best not to yell at her because it only made things worse.
"I feel useless! I mean I thought I was pregnant for weeks, I got used to the idea and then you were so happy especially after everything with your father. What if when we decide to get pregnant for real I can't give you a child? You give me everything by loving me and I feel like I have nothing to give you. I spend time with Jacob because he makes me feel like I am on a pedestal, for once in my life I can feel like I am better than someone. It's selfish and stupid but what he did to me made me feel superior to him and I don't have that with anyone else. Not with Rosalie and Alice with their just, perfect everything and you! Don't get me stared on you."
"Isabella, I…" I was cut off by the sound of the doorbell ringing.
Neither of us had to open the door because Rosalie and Emmett had let themselves in with their spare key. Rosalie bounced into the living in a very Alice-like way that scared me.
"Bella! I'm pregnant!" Rosalie announced with a smile, I noticed the way Bella's responding smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Rose! That's wonderful. Congratulations!" They embraced while I gave my brother a pat on the back.
"Did you hear about Angela and Ben? He proposed tonight! She called you first but said it went straight to voicemail," Rosalie said.
"Oh, that's great. Look at all of you guys, getting married and having babies. It's really…great," Bella's eyes welled up and Rosalie's smile fell.
"Hey, Bella, what's wrong?" She asked Bella with great concern as she approached her to comfort her.
"Nothing, I can't do this. I need air."
And then she was gone running out of the apartment while Rosalie attempted to follow her, Emmett stayed in the background trying his best to not put any of his input on what had just occurred.
"Well, she's gone, I have no idea where she went. Great job, Edward!" Rosalie scolded me as she returned sans Bella.
She didn't return that night and I knew immediately whom she was with, Jacob.
2 jobs and stress have made it hard for me to write, leave me some reviews so I can be motivated!
