I have to give props to cullen-obsession for calling Edward and ass hat. OMG I haven't heard that one in a long time and it made me laugh so hard.
Also…there have been quite a few people who don't seem to understand why Edward feels the need to break it off with Bella, not those of you that are asking why he feels the need to be an 'ass hat' and break her 'lil heart, but seriously don't understand the situation. I thought I explained this pretty well in the story and inner monologue-ing…
Edward is, for lack of a better term, a ladies man/player. He likes the idea of having a new girl on his arm every day. As we pick up on at the very end of chapter four Edward doesn't get too physical with his ladies, just likes to make out and perhaps some heavy petting. Bella is the kind of girl a guy keeps and makes his girlfriend. Edward does not see himself as that kind of guy since he has been working his way through the female student body pretty steadily along with Jasper and Emmett. Bella brings all these thoughts and feelings that are completely foreign to Edward to the forefront of his thoughts and he keeps convincing himself that he is not worthy of her purity. It shines through. He basically sees himself as a tainted womanizer and doesn't want to make Bella one of the many, which he is certain will happen, he is Edward Cullen after all, breaker of hearts.
I know that this isn't a chapter but I have been fighting a evil headache that wont go away and the nausea that accompanies it. Not the best circumstances for writing. I WILL update by Thursday at the latest. Pinky swear and everything. Sorry for the fake out but I felt the need to reiterate Edwards point of view.
Much love kids.
