I do not own Twilight.

Chapter 10

I pulled away from Edward and looked at him. I didn't know what to say. I was at a loss for words.

Brian wasn't.

"What is this?" He was fuming. Absolutely pissed.

"Brian, this really isn't what you think." I know how cliche this sounded, but it was all I could think of at this point.

"I go to the store, I'm gone less than a hour and I come back to see my girlfriend sucking her exes face off! What am I supposed to think Bella? Am I supposed to believe this is just some casual goodbye?" He was angry, but I could see the hurt behind his eyes.

"He kissed me first. I didn't want it, I don't want him. Brian, I love you. Not him. He doesn't mean anything to me. You're my future. You're my everything. Please understand." I've never been one to articulate words very well, but I tried my best to get my point across.

He shook his head angrily. "Oh, you didn't want it? Right, that's why you were kissing him back just as eagerly."

He brushed past me and Edward, and went down the basement steps. Moments later, music was blaring through the house.

I spun to look at Edward. "Look at this! Look what youve done! This is low, even for you. You had no right kissing me, or even touching me for that matter. Now my relationship is on the line, all because of you!"

"Bella, I'm so.."

My anger erupted and I slapped him right across the face. "Leave. Right now. Get out." I pointed to the door, "get out!"

Holding his right cheek, he did as I asked, and left.

I took a deep breath. Brian. I walked towards the basement door, and flitted down the steps. I saw him, slumped over in one of the three barstools, with his head in his arm on the bar. I flicked off the stereo system and went to sit next to him, putting my hand on his thigh.

"Babe?" I whispered.

He didn't move.

I intwined my fingers with his free hand. "Babe please hear me out. I'm so sorry that that happened. I didn't even know Edward was coming here. I came downstairs and next thing I knew he kissed me. I didn't want it. And, I love you. So much. Please forgive me." I was practically begging this man not to hate me.

He didn't say anything, just got up from the bar and went upstairs at vampire speed. I dejectedly stayed in my seat. What else does he want me to say? I really love him and I mean everything I'm telling him. What else can I possibly do to convince him?

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of drawers slamming closed. No. I flew out of the stool, knocking it over, and blasted up the steps to Brians room, where I found him tossing clothes into a duffel bag.

Standing in the doorway, I begged him to stay, one last time. "Brian, I can't let you leave. In the past few weeks, you've become the whole world to me. What you saw today was a misunderstanding. I..."

He cut me off. He walked towards me

"Save it Bella. I know what I saw. I've heard everything I need to hear, and I think it best if I leave. I don't think we're good for each other anymore."

He went back to the bed where his duffel bag sat, picked it up,and brushed past me.

This couldn't be happening. I'm already losing him. I just stood there, dumbfounded. I heard the door open and shut.

I couldn't let this happen. I flew out the bedroom window as fast as I could in attempt to stop him.

But when i got outside, i realized he was gone. I lost him.
