I walked into Edwards's apartment and came face to face with a pixie looking girl.

"Who are you?" We both asked at the same time, there was something familiar about her but I just couldn't place it. We both continued starring at each other.

"This is my brother's apartment," the pixie said, "I don't know how you got a key but I know he would never give a key to a bed buddy of his," continued the pixie with such disgust in her voice.

"Excuse me, but I live here." I said a hanging my jacket up and moving into the kitchen to place my bag down, today was already a long and busy day at the bookshop, all I wanted to do when I arrived home was to have a long hot bath and order in dinner for Edward and I when he got off his shift.

"What do you mean you live here? Doesn't Edward Cullen live here?" she asked and I nodded.

"He does, but so do I." I replied, while the pixie just looked really confused.

"What do you mean you live here too?" she asked out loud. "Edward would have said if someone else was living with him." She mumbled more to herself.

"Well I can tell you we weren't expecting guest."

"I wanted to surprise him."

"Well maybe that's why you didn't know that I was living here."

The pixie looked mad at me and before she could even saying anything the front door opened.

"Honey I'm home." said the voice at the door, making me smile. Edward must have gotten off work early.

"Bella? Baby?" I heard him say as he got closer and closer to the kitchen.

"Alice?" Edward said in shock when he saw the pixie standing there with me in the kitchen.

"Alice what are you doing here?" He asked as he came standing next to me.

"Surprise?" she said weakly.

"Alice why didn't you call to say you were coming to visit?" Edward asked.

"I was coming to Seattle for a fashion expo and I was going to drive home but Jasper said it was getting late and to just stay and I figured why get a hotel when you have a brother living in the city. So I arrived you weren't home and let myself in with your spare key, I wasn't here long when she walked in."

The way Alice said she was with such disgust, she didn't know me and yet she seemed to hate me. Edward just glared at Alice while she glared at me and I tried to look at no one. I felt really uncomfortable but before I could even move out of the room Edward pulled me closer to me, which just irritated Alice, even more.

"Who is she Edward?" Alice asked.

"She's my wife Alice." Edward responded with a huge smile on his face, he liked introducing me as his wife even though we still hadn't forced ourselves to tell anyone, not that Edward didn't want to he was itching to tell but it was me that kept stopping him.

"YOU'RE WIFE?" Alice screeched, "What do you mean she's you wife? How can you be married Edward, you weren't even dating anyone and now you're married. Why weren't we, your family, invited to the wedding? You know what I bet she's a gold digging slut who tricked you into marrying her. What is she pregnant too?"

I felt Edward tense up and I knew he was angry, while I wanted to defend myself to Alice about not being a gold digger I knew that she'd most likely only believe Edward.

"Alice you are out of line, you don't come into my house and insult my wife like that. She's not a gold digger, she did not trick me into getting married I'm the one who talked her into getting married ok? You weren't invited because you would act like this. Alice I'm a grown boy, I don't need you there looking out for me I know that Bella is it for me and it honestly doesn't matter what you think. She's not pregnant either, but I wouldn't mind if she was."

That last part shocked me. We had never talked about kids not that I was against having them, but bringing a baby into the mix right now would not be the best idea.

"It was your idea?" Alice asked raising her eyebrow at him.

"Yes it was. I knew from the moment I saw her that I wanted to marry her and I was grateful she said yes when I did ask, it took some convincing but she said it." He replied.

"I don't like her." Alice stated and honestly I wasn't surprised

"You don't even know her Alice." Edward exclaimed, before Alice could even continue.

"He's right; you don't know me before you even think to judge me you should at least try to get to know me." I said before walking out of the kitchen and upstairs.

A few minutes later Edward joined me in the bedroom. "I'm sorry about that, about what happened downstairs, about Alice I don't know why she even reacted like that. But I sent her off to a hotel." he said as he sat down next to me.

"Edward you shouldn't have sent her away she's your sister." I sighed.

"Yeah but you're my wife, wife trumps sister any day."

He moved closer taking my hand in his, "Well now that my sister knows I guess we can get around to telling the rest of my family and yours." He said quietly.

This had been an occurring fight between us one that I was so sick of having, but it just seemed that he didn't get why I wasn't ready.

"I'm still not ready." as the words came out, Edward moved from me standing up.

"Not ready? What do you mean you're not ready? How hard can it be to just tell our families already! Are you really that ashamed of marrying me that you don't want to tell anyone?" He asked pacing the room.

"Edward did you not just see how your sister reacted when she found out? I don't want to be accused of being a gold digger and that I trapped you into this marriage. I'm not ashamed of marrying you Edward, honestly I'm not but they are never going to see me as your equal and I'm trying to be okay with that but I haven't gotten there."

"Not my whole family is like Alice, she just tends to be over protective."

"I believe you when you say that Edward, but I just need time." I pleaded I could feel the tears starting up.

"Time? When the fuck are we going to tell anyone, our 1yr anniversary our 5 year anniversary? I'm so sick of waiting Bella. You know what? Why don't you just give up on us and just leave. It is what you want to do right? You're waiting for something to go wrong, well here you go Bella. You got what you wanted." Edward said walking out the bedroom.

A few seconds later I heard the front door slam shut and I knew he had left, I sunk down to the floor, hugging my knees to my chest letting the tears flow. I didn't know if he would be back, hell I didn't even know where he was going.

I dragged myself up off the floor an hour later, Edward had not returned I tried calling and texting him but nothing. I eventually gave up once it hit midnight. I crawled into bed hugging his pillow breathing in his scent. I missed him.

It continued like this for the next few days, we barley spoke and when he was at home he wouldn't spend more than a minute in the same room as me. No matter how hard I tried to speak to him he just ignored me or walk out of the room. I was losing him & I knew it was my fault but nothing I did seemed to change that.
