Conflicts

Edward Cullen

I could feel my jaw drop to the table. She has to what?! Marry Newton?!

"What the hell? Why?" I demanded at once. He shoved the paper in my face. I took it and read it once and twice and blinked. No, this has to be a mistake. There's just no way on earth that Charlie would request Bella to marry that good-for-nothing human.

"I'll give you a copy," Smith said, taking the paper away from my face and walking away. I could sense Bella was a bit surprised…okay, a lot surprised. I grabbed the copy from Smith and literally dragged Bella out in impatience. By the time we reached Forks High, it was into lunch time.

"Hey! Mrs. Newton!"

"Newton girl!"

"Have a happy life, Mrs. Newton!"

I sent a fierce glare at them and they immediately stopped. Mike came up with an impish grin on his face I just wanted to tear off.

"Hey, Bella. I guess you heard, right?" he stated, scratching the back of his head. Bella frowned at him. I stepped in front of her.

"I swear, Newton. If you dare assault Bella in any way-" I started.

"Or what? She's going to belong to me before the end of September, not you. So just back off," Mike said. I pierced a glare at him.

"Don't you dare treat Bella like an object to be owned. She deserves much more than that," I growled and walked to the table with the rest of my family. Bella quietly sat next to me, looking at her hands underneath the table. Alice tried engaging in a conversation with her.

Edward, what on earth's going on? I mean seriously…Newton? There's got to be an explanation.

Hey, man. Don't beat yourself up. We'll find out what exactly happened.

To be honest, Edward, I prefer she be with you than that vile human over there. I don't trust him at all.

We should tell Carlisle and Esme about this situation right now. Bring Bella with you. She's terrified and to tell you the truth, I'm shivering from head to toe.

"Something's up and I don't like the looks of it. And Jasper's right. We should tell Carlisle and Esme. C'mon," I said, taking Bella's hand.

Isabella Swan

No way. Mike Newton? I'm still paralyzed from the will Charlie left behind. Does he have something against Edward? Edward took my hand and started to get up, had it not been for Mike who came right next to me.

"Bella, I wouldn't recommend you go with the Cullens," he said. I blinked a few times.

"Why not?" I asked. He folded his arms across his chest and gave a glare at Edward.

"Because I don't trust you to be with anyone else but me," Mike said, reaching for my hand. I drew it away from him and stepped behind Edward.

"You aren't in control of my life, Mike. I'm not your personal slave," I said and pulled Edward out the door when he started growling. As he got into the driver's seat, he slammed the door shut and started driving at a fast rate. This time, I didn't even bother to complain about his speed. Even I was fuming at the moment. After I calmed down, I reached for his hand on the gear-shift.

"What?" he barked. I winced at the tone of his voice and drew my hand back. He didn't even bother to look at my direction once, whether it was to smile or glare. It hurt.

"Talk about something," I whispered. He gave a harsh laugh and his grip on the wheel tightened.

"Like what? That you're going to get married sooner than I planned? That you won't have time to spend with us when you take Newton's name?" he shouted. Tears were on the edge of falling. When he parked the car, I got out myself for once and ran inside towards the only room I remembered. Edward's. I slammed the door, locked it and fell the ground, shaking with sobs.

Why, Charlie? Why?

Edward Cullen

When I saw her take off into the house like that, there was an immediate feeling of regret. I shouldn't have spoken to her like that. I made it through the door and was about to head up the stairs.

Edward, let's talk first.

I looked to my left and saw Carlisle motioning towards me to follow him into his office. I reluctantly followed and sat down. He looked at me.

"What did you do? To Bella?" he asked, sternly. I was in trouble.

"You know how my temper gets sometimes. Now that Bella's going to be married to Newton before October even starts, it's gotten even worse," I grumbled. Carlisle looked at me, confusion written all over his face. I handed him the copy of Charlie's will. He read it just like I had. Once, then another.

"This surely does explain a lot of what's going on with your behavior today. But that still doesn't give you the right to take your temper out on Bella. Especially now that she's recovering from an amnesia, it's too much for her to handle. Like you said. She's easily breakable," Carlisle said. I buried my face in my hands in total defeat. I stood up and rounded on him.

"Breakable? Certainly. But have you forgotten the other thing I've said? I've decided that I couldn't live without her. I can't live without her. I can't, damn it!!!" I shouted. If I could, I would've been tearing up by now. Carlisle just stood there, staring straight at me.

"Then go apologize to her. Right now," Carlisle whispered. He didn't have to tell me twice. I was up and running to my bedroom. It was locked. I knocked.

"Bella, open up," I called. All I heard was muffled sobs. I sighed and started knocking a little harder.

"Bella, come on. Can you open this door to hear what I have to say?" I pleaded. She wasn't cooperating with me.

"Bella, I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to take out my anger at you. Please, can you forgive me?" I begged. I thought she was being stubborn until I heard the click. I opened it to find Bella, still teary-eyed. I pulled her into a tight embrace.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. I wiped her tears with my fingers and placed her on the sofa. By now, she's calmed down and folded her hands on her lap. I sat next to her and placed one of her hands on my face. Oh, goodness gracious. She was so warm.

"I'm not ready to lose you to Newton. I'll fight for my rights. For your rights. Unless, you'd rather be with Newton?" I asked. She looked at me, horrified by the thought.

"Never in a million years. Edward, you're always first in my life. Or have you forgotten?" she asked, her eyes frowning. I pulled her close enough to kiss her. I vow that I'd figure out what the scandal is before the end of September came.
