Aren't you proud of me? This is my third update in a week!

His eyes grew wider. I realized he'd never seen my angry side, my real angry side. He took a deep breath before answering. "Bella, what happened to you?"
I stared at him incredulously. How could he not know? "Is this a joke?" I asked him.
"What are you talking about?"
That opened the floodgate.
"What do you think happened, Edward? You left! You left me, and I was alone! What good could have come of that?" I was furious. Was he really that stupid? Did he not know how much my human heart had loved him? My cold, dead, vampire heart was a different story, but that didn't change how infuriated I was.
He looked down, his face twisted in pain. I'm sure that if he could cry, he would be. "Bella... I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you."
I scoffed. "It's a bit late for that Edward. In fact, it's fifty years too late."
He remained silent.
I decided to change to another topic. "I don't think you've spent that much time missing me, anyways. I'm not surprised that you found someone else."
He cringed. This topic was making him very uncomfortable. I smirked. This is going to be fun.
"She is very pretty, Edward. You've done well for yourself."
"Bella... I don't know what to say."
"Honestly, Edward, it doesn't matter anymore. The moment my heart stopped beating was the moment my love for you ceased to exist."
This made him look up.
"It's fine, really."
He kept staring at me, as though seeing me for the first time. I think he was finally beginning to discover what his leaving had done to me.
"My God, what have I done?" he muttered under his breath.
"I thought you weren't religious," I said with a unkind smirk.
He frowned at my words. "You've really changed, Bella."
"Thank you, Captain Obvious."
That made him mad. "Bella, this isn't like you at all! My leaving can't have made you this bitter! It can't have."
That sobered me a bit. "Well, it can't all be blamed on you, but a good portion of it can."
"What else happened to you?"
I looked away. "Many things have happened since you left Edward, and I don't wish to discuss them now, least of all with you."
I turned to leave, but he grabbed hold of my arm. "Tell me," he pleaded. "Bella, please tell me."
"No."
"Will you at least tell me who it was that turned you?"
I smiled smugly, knowing that he wouldn't expect this in a million years. "Lord Aro of the Volturi."
I was right- Edward was speechless. His hold on my arm was released instantly. I backed away from him and got back into my car. As I drove off, he never moved a muscle. When I glanced back, he was staring after me.
Okay, so I'm contemplating doing the next chapter in Edward's POV. It would only be a one-time thing. Review and tell me what you think!
