"How could you do this to me?" Bella screeched her eyes directly on her ex. "I always knew you had a thing for her even back in high school! How long did it take for you to move on to her after I left a day an hour? Did you pick the one woman you knew would hurt me the most? You had to know that by being with her it would hurt me. While I may have left I still care about you Edward! Why did it have to be Leah?"
The bronze haired male made sure his expression was cold when he finally looked over at Bella. He had been making sure Leah's hand was alright when his ex-lover started in on her bitching. "I do not owe you anything Isabella. You left me at the altar of all places. You didn't even have the nerve to tell me to my face you were leaving me you just ran away. I deserved a real explanation and you have to know that you took the coward's way out. Jacob was my best friend and you not only fucked around with him, but you are going to have his baby. If anyone owes anything I would say it is the two of you who owe Leah and me."
It was Jacob who spoke up next. He had finally calmed down enough that Jasper felt safe enough to let him go, but he was standing next to him just in case the Quilette male lost his temper again. "We did what we thought was right. We didn't have any other choices. You have to understand-"
"We don't have to understand a damn thing!" Leah growled baring her teeth. Her hands were shaking from her rage. "There plenty of other ways you could've handled the situation and you know it. Why didn't the two of you sit us down and try to talk to us? I fucking loved you Jacob and when you left with her you have no idea the kind of destruction you left behind. Maybe you didn't want to know because you did not want to deal with the aftermath you left behind you. It was your way of not having to deal with the consequences. Did you two really think that when you came back everything would be the same?"
"We didn't think you would try to get revenge on us by getting married!" Bella hollered her face turning red and blotchy. The sharpness of her voice had everyone in the bar left with the sudden urge to clasp their hands over their eyes.
"You need to learn to shut your fucking mouth bitch." Leah whirled around to face the other female. "The only reason I haven't knocked your teeth in to the back of your throat is because you are pregnant. As much as I want to hit you I won't put an innocent child at risk, but I can only hold my temper in for so long and right now you are trying my patience. You think this whole thing is about when it is not. I didn't marry him out of revenge you dafter brainless whore! Jacob left and my world cracked to pieces. Edward found me a bar because I was lost and it just happened. We didn't think anything of it at first because we only wanted to find a way to exist after being left behind, but we connected on a deeper level and yes we married so get the fuck over it because it has shit all to do with you. Maybe that is the reason you are so upset in the first place. You want it to be about and because it is not you are having a hissy fit. Jacob this next part is for you and you need to fucking listen and not interrupt me because I deserve that at the very least. I don't love you anymore and to be quite honest I actually pity you more than I hate you. The choices you made are going to follow you for the rest of your life and you are going to have to live with them. I'm not going to make your life any harder because honestly it would just be a waste of my time and effort and I have much better things I could be doing with my time. I know you thought you could come back here and fit in to my life again because I know you Jake, but honestly I don't have room for someone in my life who is only going to drag me down and that is what have always done even if I did not always realize it. I am sorry that you have to deal with that crazy bitch you claim to love, but like I said I won't be here for you anymore. I am not just a puppet you can pull the strings on over and over when you change your mind about something."
Edward wrapped his arm around his wife's waist when he saw tears gathering up in the corners of her eyes. He knew she wouldn't want to show weakness and to her crying was indeed a weakness. "What my wife has said is the truth. I feel the same way about you Bella. You made your bed and now you have to live with it. Fighting isn't worth it and I won't play these games with you anymore. I have finally found happiness and I hope that you all find yours, but please don't drag me or my wife in to your little problems anymore. Jacob I know you want to repair our friendship and yet I am not sure we ever can or if I would even want to. I trusted you more than anything you were my brother and you couldn't even be honest with me about you felt. Back in high school I was honest with you when it to my feelings about Leah and I really did deserve the same treatment from you. I have to tell that I hope for your sake and the sake of that baby it is yours. You never know because if she could cheat me on me how can you be sure that she won't do the same thing to you?"
"So that's it?" The brunette ex-love of Edward's life asked with a hurt look. "You are going to kick us out of your lives and play house with each other? Are you going to move her in to the house we chose together and have the family that you and I planned? She will never be me Edward and you know that deep down. Can you honestly look at me and tell me you love her?"
The bronze haired male looked at Bella with a void expression on his face. "Actually I can Bella. I love Leah and I married her because I love her and I am not going to apologize for that." Pausing he turned to look at his family. "Thank you for the night out. It was pleasant to and point, but Leah and I will be leaving now."
The group nodded in understanding as the married couple gathered up there things without another word and headed out the door without looking back once. Edward let out a deep breath once they had exited the bar and kissed the top of Leah's head as they headed in the direction of his car. "That was a lot easier and painless than I thought it would be. I meant everything I said about loving you."
His wife smiled tiredly and let her head fall against his shoulder. "I know that and I love you too or else I wouldn't have married you."
TBC…
AN: This was a short chapter, but for a reason. I have two chapters left and then the epilogue planned. This short chapter did not really fit with what happened next and that is why it is so short. The next chapter has some Leah/Jacob conversation and Edward does something sweet for Leah. A few secrets are revealed by Jacob so stay tuned and let me know if you all liked this or not.
OOOOH! I published my first ever short story on Smashwords and it is an Ebook that you can either buy for your kindle, ereader, nook, or other device like that or you can buy it on smashwords for your computer. It is 99 cents and called 'Paint A Rainbow' by Mionette Wolfsbane which happens to be my penname. I would really appreciate the support if you could check it out. You have to turn off your adult filter because while it isn't really adult there is a sad scene which could be considered adult by some.
Please R&R like always!
