A/N: In the note Bella's words are in italics, everything else is Edward
In English class today Bella confronted me, slipping a note across the table:
Did you get my email?
Yes, thank you.
Are you still angry with me?
I'm not angry with you.
What then?
There are just some things it is better if you don't know. Even if you want to. It's not safe. I'm not safe.
Who will hurt you?
I mean I'm dangerous to you Bella. You shouldn't try to get close to me. I'll hurt you, even if I try my best not to.
Too late. Cutting me off like this is hurting me and I'm already closer than I think you let anyone for years. Tell me I'm wrong.
I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. You're not wrong. but this is exactly what I mean, even when I try not to, I still end up harming you.
Can we start over?
What do you mean?
Just forget about the other day and carry on like before?
You'll really just let it all go, just like that?
If that's the only way, then yes, I will.
Look, just meet me after school in the library so we can carry on with the biography project ok?
OK.

We spoke after school and I did my best to pretend that things were fine, pasting on an occasional smile and focusing on the project. It is all I can do. Things are not fine though, not at all.
A/N: Please leave a review! Thanks so much to my wonderful beta wh1teow1, please show some love and read Moirai, a reimagining of Twilight for the new decade! Ah Edward, is he ever going to get it together?
