Author's Note: Show don't tell? Edward's not gay okay! I keep telling you that he's really a great boyfriend, and you just keep saying "show, don't tell'. Stop it!
I ran home and angsted for one hundred years. I cried and cried. It was so painful to have Edward leave me. It was like blank paragraphs, many blank paragraphs.
(I am such a clever author!)
"Hey, Bella!" said my dad. "Happy birthday, I bought you some Radiohead CDs! I know how much you like to listen to them at 4 AM!"
"I only listen to Muse dad! And this is Circa Survive."
"Oh, yeah. Sorry. I mostly just listen to the band Twilight so I don't know."
"Well, I'm sad and depressed!"
"Whats wrong?"
"That guy I've known for less than a year is moving away! I've decided to angst for a while. Its so depressing!"
"Don't worry, there's plenty of fish in the sea."
"But I don't like merfolk dad, I'm only attracted to vampires!"
"Sorry, uh, see you later." he said and handed me the CDs and rushed back to work. I sat by the window. Edward was such a great boyfriend and I am sad!
"Bella!" said my dad rushing back to my room, "We just got a break in the Kira case, so we're going to the werewolf reservation to look for him, stay here and keep angsting. Don't go into the woods, its dangerous."
"Okay, dad. Waaaahh!" I cried.
"Ryuzaki, you got the snipers? Good lets move out." he said into his phone and rushed out.
Alone in the room I kept crying. So depressing, I cant believe you all keep criticizing my writing! "My Edward!" I screamed every night. I tried to stalk him of Facebook but to no avail. After a few decades of pure nonstop angst, my dad decided to talk to me again.
"Bella, you should live with your mom."
"Why?" I said still crying.
"Because, I'm sick of your screaming over some guy. Normal girls don't act like this, you're setting a bad example."
"But Edward is my world, don't you understand?"
"No, when your mom and I got divorced, all that happened is I started hanging out with my friends more. I had a life. What you're doing now is just sad. You have friends, Bella. That Jacob guy seems to like you. You don't need to stay inside all the time. Its not romantic. You have a lot to live for, so stop. Go out and do something, its not the end of the world."
My dad is so immature. I love Edward, he loves me. We are destined to be together! My dad and his stupid logic will never stand between us! "I want to stay inside forever!" I protested.
"Then you got to go. We still haven't caught that murderer and your attitude ain't helping. I'll make you a deal, hang out with your friends for a while and I'll let you stay. Just no more listening to the Mars Volta at 4 AM okay."
"Fine, I'll go to a movie with Jessica." I got in the car. I miss Edward's saddle so much. I turned on my favorite Muse album, and I went to Jessica's house. She and I went to the movies. We saw Quarantine, 28 Days later, and Paranormal Activity.
"Those movies are awful!" said Jessica. "You should watch Citizen Kane someday, then you'll see what the cinematic medium can really accomplish."
"Not romantic enough." I said, "I'm depressed and sad about Edward!"
"Oh, I'm sorry... Y'know he's just some random guy. I used to like him, but y'know he got in trouble once for stalking?" She said. But then I saw some guys on motorcycles, and had an idea.
