Chapter 24: Black Sheep

Bella' Point Of View:

What the hell was wrong with the world? Everything was crashing down; I know I said I wanted a boyfriend like Eli Goldsworthy from Degrassi but I didn't mean literally. Edward had a dead ex-girlfriend, but he had a son with this chick. And all he could do was stand there and do nothing…not on my watch. I stared at him and waited for him to look back; when he finally did I started talking.

"So, anything you wanna share?"

"Bella c'mon don't be like that." He said

"Shut up Edward. You have a lot of explaining to do before I kick your ass."

"Okay, okay. Not here, somewhere where it's quiet."

"Fine, let's go."

We got out of the lunch line; everyone was staring at us when I looked up, I covered my face a little with my hand and walked really fast to escape the staring eyes. We were finally outdoors, Edward walked down the long hallway that led to the school parking lot. Edward stopped, then leaned against the stonewall with his hands in his pockets. I leaned against the pole that was across from him with my arms crossed.

"So, what's with this Shannon chick?"

"Shannon Wilton was a handful girlfriend and baby mama."

"So how did this drama come to be?"

"After you dumped me, I started drinking, partying, and every other teen drama cliché. I met Shannon at Maggie Hartford's party. We talked, but I was drunk so you can see how that ended."

"You flirted and spilled your guts to her."

"Yeah. But somehow we ended up dating. Things always got bad but in the middle of those arguments we always ended up having sex. 4 or 5 months later Shannon got pregnant."

"And?"

"I didn't want to believe it, so I went to my Dad and made Shannon go through another pregnancy test. Again she came back positive."

"What were her thoughts on the subject?"

"She wanted to keep it. I wanted her to get an abortion."

"You guys ended up keeping it."

"Bella, I didn't want a kid. But we argued about the baby. She got her way; we went through the whole pregnancy. Wyatt was born on May 15th 2007."

"What happened after that?"

"The more time went by Shannon and I started to argue more. One night we were out to meet Shannon's parents for dinner. Shannon and I weren't talking to each other. On the way there we ended up in a car accident."

I stared at Edward; he was looking at the ground. I could tell he was seeing it replay in his head.

"Wyatt died after the impact." He said, his voice cracked. He was starting to cry.

"Edward…I—"

"Shannon was in a coma for a month. She never woke up so her parents pulled the plug."

I felt like I was going to cry. All that pain…I couldn't imagine that. Well I couldn't feel like that.

"And I just ended up having a neck injury. A broken leg and arm. Glass stabbed in my stomach and tons of bruises and cuts. And a fatal concussion."

I couldn't say anything. What could I say? Knowing that your family went through all that pain. I lost my family too, but I didn't go through what Edward went through. I walked towards Edward and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Just like that, my son was gone and so was my girlfriend."

"Edward, it wasn't your fault."

"You know the driver that hit us didn't end up in jail. They let him go."

"The courts are always unfair. Everyone knows that."

"Wyatt was only 2 and a half years old. His birthday was a week later."

I felt tears slide down from my eyes. That poor kid. Barely a toddler, barely in this world. And he lost his life. Only if things could be a time traveling machine.

"So why would Tanya bring this up?"

"Because Shannon and Tanya were cousins."

I dropped my hand from his shoulder. I was confused, shocked, he dated her cousin after she died. Well after some time at least. Anyway, that's fucking weird.

"You dated her cousin after she died. You sure are a womanizer."

"I was like that."

"Really. Cause from where I'm standing you're still like that."

"What?"

"Edward you dated your dead ex-girlfriend's cousin. You've dated almost every girl in this school. And you have some beef with Tanya."

"You're going to bring my past? Your past is just like fucking Ramona Flowers. Except I don't have to defeat your ex's."

"Screw you."

"Haven't you already?"

"If you really want to know, it wasn't that good."

"What?"

I shrugged. He crossed his arms and said

"So where do we go from here?"

"What a cliché thing to say. But to be honest, maybe we need to be away from each other for a few days, weeks."

"Now that's a cliché Bella."

"We've done it before Edward."

"Yeah, but we've been away from each other long enough though. 3 years if you really want to get technical."

I rolled my eyes. Then said

"Edward, I can't stomach this in a day. I need time."

"You can have time. I just don't think we have to go on a break."

"Edward I can even look at you without thinking about what happened to you, Shannon, and Wyatt."

"What happened on leaving everything that was the past in the past?"

"Nothings changed. I just need a few days."

"We might as well break up then Bella."

"Is that what you want?"

"You know I don't. You?"

"You know I don't want to. But if you're going to be a dick then…"

"You're such a hypocrite Bella!"

"So are you Edward!"

"Not as close as you are."

"You know what fuck you Edward. We're through."

I started to walk away. I could hear Edward calling out for me. I stopped for a moment then kept on walking. I didn't want it to end this way. But everything goo that happens to me always get destroyed. My life is hell, it sucks. Why do I always end up getting hurt? Why do I always loose everything?
