I do not own twilight. If I did, Mike Newton would have been punched in the face by Breaking Dawn (:
The date of this wedding was starting to burn a hole into my calender... And my heart.
I left the little square box that held the date empty, I figured that if I didn't write it down, maybe it wouldn't happen. But it seemed stupid to believe that now. I think that maybe if I just write it down, I will stop pressuring myself to do so.
But what if it has the opposite effect? What if I write it down and every time I walk into my kitchen I get to see "Worst Day Ever" screaming out at me. Would it be worst than picturing it written in my mind?
"Just throw out that stupid thing." Jacob said, walking into the room and grabbing something out of the fridge. I was too occupied to see what it was. "You've been standing there for twenty minutes."
"I should write it down, right?" I held on a little bit tighter to the red pen in my hands.
"No," His voice was slow, as if he were talking to a child. "You should throw it out." He repeated.
"I'm not going to throw it out, Renesmee likes the pictures of the puppies." I looked up at the little Jack Russel laying in a hamper. "She likes to be surprised every month, but I know she sneaks a peak every now and then." I lightly smiled, dazed with images of my daughter for just a small second.
"There's only two weeks left, Bella." Jacob sighed, his tone was different now.
"Don't remind me." I whispered, closing my eyes and trying to keep the picture of the Jack Russel, it was better than Tanya in a wedding dress.
"Bella!" Emmett yelled, pointing in my direction, "You're open!" The football came flying at me so fast that if he hadn't of called my name, I would've known it was coming.
I grabbed it with both hands and ran to the farthest tree--that was the touchdown line, or whatever Emmett called it earlier.
"Touchdown!" His booming voice yelled as he jumped up and down with his hands in the air.
Esme clapped from the porch steps and smiled. "Way to go, Bella."
I laughed and lightly tossed the ball into Renesmee's tiny hands. "Score?" I asked, she was being the score keeper, with a little help from Esme and Carlisle.
"Four to Eight, nice touchdown, but we're still losing." Jasper said before she could, his golden eyes flickering to me.
"Aw, come on!" Emmett's arms flew up in the air again. "I'm on your team next time." He said to Rose, who was leaning against a tree with a slight smile. Around her stood Jacob and Alice. "I told you it should have been guys against girls."
"That would be sexist." I said simply, taking the ball back from Renesmee. "And we're doing just fine."
"No we're not." He grabbed the ball out of my arms and threw it over his shoulder. It disappeared in the woods somewhere. "We're playing something else."
Alice huffed and rolled her eyes. "What do you suggest?"
A slick smile crept across his face as he slowly nodded his head. An evil genius move. "Let's go egg Edward's house."
The giggle escaped my throat within the next second but I quickly restrained myself and turned my smile into a frown. "Don't be immature."
He rolled his eyes and Esme lowered her's.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a still, white statue standing at the gate of the backyard.
"Edward," Esme breathed, a new smile coming to her lips. "Everyone was just playing football. You should have come a little earlier."
"Daddy!" Renesmee called, instantly jumping into his stone arms.
"I'm more of a baseball person." He said quietly as he walked over slowly and kissed her cheek with Nessie still in his arms. His eyes flashed to Emmet. "And if you must trash my house, I'd prefer you did it with something that won't ruin the paint."
Emmett swallowed loudly. Busted.
"How is everyone?" Esme asked, leaving that subject. By everyone, she meant Tanya.
"Good." He smiled and took a good look around. "Who won?"
Emmett sighed and rolled his eyes towards me. "Not us."
I chewed on my bottom lip and tried to look away from all of the eyes that now lay on me. "I'm not very good at sports. Jeez, is that a crime?"
"It is when you're on Emmett's team." Rosalie laughed, walking past us and into the house, the rest of us followed. But as I stepped my foot onto the steps leading into the house, I felt his hand grab my arm.
"Yes?" I asked, closing my eyes and refusing to let myself breathe.
"I came to answer your question."
That wasn't what I expected. Whatever oxygen that was left in my lungs was let out in a huff. I kept my eyes strictly on the ground. "Well," I impatiently stamped my foot against the grass, crushing the poor, helpless weeds under my shoe.
"I don't love her more than you." he breathed.
"I know," I took a deep breath, breathing in the opposite direction. I tried my best to copy his voice, "You love us both the same and can't stand hurting us."
He instantly shook his head, his hand never left my arm, as if he were scared I was going to run away. "No, Bella, I love you more."
My eye lids fell over my restless pupils and blinded me. Why was he doing this to me? "Then why are with..."
He interrupted me. "Because, I love you enough to respect you. I would never make you stay in a relationship with me while I had feelings for Tanya." He shook his head again, "But the relationship that Tanya and I have is different. When we fell--when we got together, she knew I was deeply in love with you. She's known all along that I love you."
I jerked my arm out of his grasp and took a sharp breath, it was the first time in a while that I felt any sort of physical pain. "So hurting her isn't as bad as hurting me? I'm sure she just loves what goes on in your head." I ran my fingers through my hair and looked him square in the eyes.
A/N: hey guys (: I've been getting a lot of reviews asking if this is an Edward and Bella story, honestly, I have no idea. I tend to keep whatever happens in my Fanfictions up to the readers, that way everyone enjoys it more.
So, you gotta tell me, is it going to be another Edward/Bella story?
And, also, everyone's been asking how their relationship ended so I figured I'd write a one-shot about it. I already wrote it, it's not that good so I don't know if I'm going to post it or not. It's up to you guys (:
