Week Four

Thursday

Edward PoV

How could I have forgotten? A date so dear and important to me and I hadn't even prepared for it. Had I become so consumed by Jake that I had completely forgotten what today was?

Bella's Birthday…

Jacob PoV

I could tell that something was off about him today. He seemed distant and barely spoke a word as he met me by the waterfall in our clearing. The first thing he said was, "Can we go to the other clearing today?" I nodded my head and allowed him to lead me back to the other clearing, the clearing he shared with Bella.

He did not talk on the walk over and once we had arrived he sat down on the grass. "Edward, what's wrong?" I finally asked. He looked up at me, eyes cold and distant before looking away, staring at a tree.

"You made me forget." He mumbled, had I not been listening for a reply I would have missed it.

"What do you mean?"

"You made me forget Bella's birthday." He glared at me, "How could I forget!" He finally snapped. He was in front of me before I could blink, his eyes screaming his hate for me at that moment. "She was my everything and you distracted me! It isn't fair! It's not air to her!"

"Edward I-"

"Don't even speak mutt." He growled. Mutt? "Don't even say another word. I'm calling this deal off early! I'm done!" He grabbed my shoulder and pushed me away. I blinked in confusion, too shocked to move until he was gone.

"Edward, wait!" I called, but he was already long gone…

Edward PoV

As frustrated and angry as I was I couldn't deny the fact that I felt awful, and I knew it had nothing to do with Bella. I missed her and I loved her, but that wasn't what bothered me. What bothered me was the fact that Jacob was getting under my skin. I actually liked the damn dog and it pissed me off. It wasn't the fact that he was slowly replacing Bella in my heart; it was the fact that he could do so much better than me…so, I got rid of him. Not for my sake, not for Bella's sake, but for his own sake. Because I wanted to make sure that he led a good life, and he could never do that with me.

I broke his heart to save him…
