So I've had major writers block and it sucked. But thanks to Constantinexfreak, I'm able to write again. Her helping me with ideas was the best thing ever! ("Dance for men: Go ahead and kill your mother now." You remember.) Yeah, everyone should read some of the stuff in Stephen Colbert's book. It's hilarious! Anyways here's the next chapter!

Edward and I sat on the bench for what felt like a hours, but in reality it was a few moments. The silence that surrounded us was neither comfortable or uncomfortable. It was just there. I finally had enough silence so I broke it first.
"What do you want?" I asked calmly.
"I already told you I wanted to talk." Edward replied.
"What about exactly?" I narrowed my eyes at him. Edward gulped before speaking.
"I'm not really sure." He said looking at the ground.
"Apparently I have to start this conversation then. Fine. Here's a question for you. Why did you force me to do this?" I said with anger slipping into my voice. "I would've done it on my own on my own time."
"No you wouldn't have." Edward sighed. "I know you Bella. Sometimes better than you know yourself. And at least I'm forcing you to do something good and not forcing you to have sex with me." My eyes widened at what he said. It was like he slapped me in the face. Hell I would've rather of been slapped in the face instead of what he just said. Once Edward saw my eyes widen, his eyes widened in response. He must've realized what he said because he started to apologize.
"Bella I didn't meant to say that. It just slipped out." Edward said but I wasn't having it.
"No obviously you did mean it. You wouldn't have said, or even thought it, if you didn't mean it to some extent." I almost yelled.
"I didn't mean it." Edward was trying to convince me. "I'm sorry I said that. I'm just trying to look at for you. You know I've always watched over you." Well that didn't help his case one fucking bit. It was like he was calling me a child.
"Are you saying I need to be watched and looked over like a child?" I asked with my voice rising in volume. "Am I unable to take care of my self?"
"That's not what I'm saying." Edward replied with his voice rising also. "I'm sorry that I said it like that. Plus, I've never seen you as a little girl. I've only seen you as a strong one."
I scoffed then said, "Well you never treated me as a strong girl. You only treated me as a piece of meat." Once I said the words I wanted to take them back. Edward never treated me like that and it was stupid of me to think so, but after the performance I just gave about meaning something you said, I knew he'd use it against me.
It took a few moments for Edward to process what I had said, but once he figured it out his jaw dropped and the look in his eyes were unbearable. His eyes looked broken and I didn't like it. I dropped my gaze to the ground.
Edward opened his mouth a few times like he wanted to say something but in the end he didn't. He stood up and started to walk away. I wanted to call to him, but my mouth wouldn't open.
I saw Alice starting to walk my way but stopped when Edward stopped. He looked back at me and spoke.
"I never treated you like that Bella and you know it. You were the one who started our little arrangement. I don't what else I can tell you other than think about what I said. You'll find out what I'm trying to tell you." Edward walked to his car and I watched him the entire way. He hesitated before he finally got in and drove off. Watching Edward was so distracting to me that I don't notice Alice sat down beside me.
"I guess I should've told you not to make Edward cry." Alice said and I jumped slightly. It took a moment for me to grasp what she said but when I did I wasn't too happy about it.
"I don't want to fucking here it right now Alice." I stood up and started to walk towards Alice's car.
"What did you say to him?" She asked.
"I said I don't want to talk about it." I replied trying hard to keep my anger at bay. It wouldn't be fair to take out my anger of Edward out on Alice. She was just trying to help.
We slid into the car, but Alice didn't start it. "Isabella Marie. You tell me what you said right now. They way he looked when he was walking away. It was like someone killed his puppy." Alice scolded me like our mother.
"Not. Now. Alice." I said each word through clenched teeth.
"Fine." Alice sighed and started the car. As we drove away from the hospital I decided that I needed to build walls around myself and not let anyone in. And that unfortunately included Edward.
The drive to our house was silent. I could see that Alice wanted to say something but she didn't. I was grateful.
Once we arrived at our house, I quickly got out of the car and rushed into the house. My parents were sitting on the couch. When I walked into the door they stood up. Obviously they wanted to talk, but I wasn't in the mood. I ran up the stairs and into my room. I slammed my door and locked it.
I laid on my bed and thought of ways to keep people getting close to me again. Maybe I could go on with life without meeting my "one" and just be the crazy cat lady. I sighed and closed my eyes. I drifted off into unconsciousness.
So that was the chapter. Sorry about the length. But as I said, I had writers block and now I'm in the process of packing for college. I'll be leaving Sunday so I don't know when I'll have time to write. I have to get used to my new surroundings. But I promise that I'm going to try and write. Please review and inspire me!
