"Tell me about that deal Edward," I demanded trying to sound as if I had authority over him.
"I'll tell you at the hotel," he said calmly.
"No. Tell me now," I said.
"Bella, your really starting to frustrate me. I told you I would tell you at the hotel," Edward retorted harshly.
"I know you were talking about this deal to Rose, and I know you're putting it off," I said, all the words coming together as I spoke.
"NO!" Edward said once again.
"I deserve an answer!" I yelled.
"Bella, I'm sorry but you are going to have to wait," Edward said slowly, trying to regain his control.
"Edward! Why are you doing this?" I screamed.
"I'm protecting you!" Edward burst out.
"I don't need your protection, Edward! I need Jacob!" I screamed, tears stinging up in my eyes. I turned and faced the other way. This was the first time I had ever yelled at Edward.
Why was he doing this? Jake didn't do anything that bad! He didn't even hurt me. I'm not going to end up like Emily. I know Jacob has better control than that. It was just one little mistake. But I didn't want to think about this anymore.
I stared out at the trees, when I slowly realized in despair that it was Edward's birthday.
