Fifty - Five.
Edward was out of the bed before he even finished his question and I was scrambling after him. The thought of him leaving made me frantic. "That's not true, Edward!" I screamed at him. "Where are you going?" I asked as he began to put on a pair of jeans.
"I need some air."
I approached him and pushed him so he'd lose his balance while slipping one leg into his jeans. "No, you don't. You need to stay here and talk to me," I began to cry.
He dropped the jeans at his feet. "Why are you crying?"
"Because you're trying to leave. I didn't mean to hurt you. What I said didn't come out right."
He sighed in frustration before he looked up at me. "I can't keep doing this if you have no real intention of ever leaving him. I'm not here, with you, just for the Summer. The thought of never seeing you again in a few months makes me sick to my stomach, but if you're always going to go back to him, I can't. We have to stop."
I sobbed loudly and had turn away from him. It just wasn't that easy and I didn't know how to make him understand.
I was relieved to feel him come up behind me and wrap his arms around me. I turned around and buried my face against his chest. I inhaled his scent and it soothed me. "I just have so many questions, Edward, and I've never done this before. It's just not as simple as you make it out to be."
"It can be."
"How, Edward!" I yelled through my tears. "You live in another country! A country I've never been to. I don't even have a passport! Your entire life is there and my entire life is here! Tell me how that can be fucking simple!" I was so frustrated.
He didn't even flinch.
"Money can make things simple, Bella."
I scoffed. "I don't have money to waste, Edward!"
"I do," he barely whispered.
I shook my head at him. "I don't want your money."
"I don't fucking care! I want you! I don't care if it's here or there or somewhere in between."
It just wasn't that easy. It wasn't. He was in med school and had so much going for him in London. I could never ask him to leave that behind for me. Ever. The pitiful look on his face absolutely broke me inside.
His forehead fell to mine. "Please, Bella," he said quietly. "We can workout the details later. All I know, is that I have to be near you, and I think I'm in love with you."
