BPOV
4 Years Ago...
"Maybe we shouldn't do this anymore." I shout angrily.
"Yeah maybe we shouldn't. You obviously don't care about me or my future. You're so fucking selfish." He shouted back.
"Don't you dare fucking say that." I began angrily. My eyes were filling with tears, which I willed myself to stop from falling. "I love you so much... I support you... and I love my job as much as you do and you know that. To think otherwise is stupid and foolish, but I know you are more important to me than my job." I paused to look at him, his expression was cold. "You are the selfish one... I clearly remember being the one telling you to postpone the wedding since it was not the right time and we both were busy, but you kept insisting on having it as soon as possible... and you're breaking it off now?! Two days before the actual ceremony! What will we say to our families... our friends... on top of that to cancel everything now is going to cost us." I finished my rant.
"Don't turn it back on me Bella. You act like I don't love you or support you. I am doing this for us." He paused to gauge my reaction, but I kept my face guarded. I knew he loved me, but apparently not as much as I love him... but I also knew that this was not the man I fell in love with almost four years back.
"I told you this promotion discussion came up only some while back." He continued with anger evident in his eyes... but also with an expression that told me that he was hiding something.
"How long?" I asked.
"What?" He responded confused.
"How long back... did you know that you were getting promoted and transferred?"
"Few months..." he said, caught in his own lies.
"That's what I thought..." I said defeated.
He was about to argue back -
"Save it Edward... you're right... I'm postponing the wedding indefinitely, because there is no way you could care less about me or about us. Don't try to justify your actions and lies by saying you're doing this for us..." My voice cracked on the last word. "I thought I was more important to you than that... obviously I was wrong... wrong to trust you... to love you... You know what why should I even give myself hope... I'm done. With us... with this... I'm going to stay at Angela's." I placed my engagement ring in his hand.
"Fine... go... see if I care." He replied angrily. I won't lie that hurt.
"Bye Edward." I said with more sadness than anger... I was so stupid. I think we both were.
"Bye Bella." His voice is cold and distant. He didn't even spare me a second glance.
With that I walk out the door, and I never hear from him again.
Present Day
I wake up with a start, from reliving that horrible nightmare...
For some reason that day is forever etched in my mind... and no matter how hard I try... I cannot forget Edward, I cannot forget the man I used to love before he changed... and I hate myself even more for that.
That day was the first sign that my life would go from bad to worse... but at least I have Vanessa. I don't know what I would do without her.
