You would think that I would be used to this new Edward by now. I have plenty of examples of his new asshole behaviour but he still managed to surprise me. How did my Edward become this dickhead? I know Esme raised him better than this and Carlisle always instilled that women are to be treated with respect into both his boys. They both grew up watching Carlisle treat Esme like a queen; you would think that would be enough for Edward to not treat women like blow up dolls to only be used for his pleasure. I know that both his and my parents were expecting me us to the first to get married and have kids. Hell before we left for graduation Esme took me to one side and said that when the time came she would love for me to wear her wedding dress. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing when I told her that I would be honoured. Edward found us both crying in one another's arms. Now I can't see him ever getting married, he fled in terror when I wanted him to move in with me. I still hate thinking about that day. That was the day my perfect life and ideal future fell apart. That was the first day that I had ever really experienced heartache or even hurt. My life had always been rather sheltered. Apart from my parents splitting up which I was too young to remember I have had an easy life. I contemplate on all this on the cab ride home from the hospital. When I get home I look to the dining table to check on Mike, he however must have woken up because he is gone. "Mike you OK?" I shout to the apartment.
"I'm just getting dressed, be out in a second baby girl" he yelled back. As I wait semi-patiently for Mike to emerge from his bedroom I begin to wonder what will happen now. I can't live with Mike forever even if it has been fun. I think I will start looking for an apartment soon.
"You will tell me everything later but right now I am late for a date with Seth. Bye hun" he sung as he skipped through the door. Now what? I ask myself. I look around at what used to be Mikes living room but now looks like the inside of a trash can. I'll tidy up and then do laundry I decide. Ten minutes later Alice turned up at my door, she starts talking at me before I can even say hello.
"I am so sorry about my ass of a brother. I don't know why he acts this way; he never used to be like this. You know, he used to be the perfect gentleman. Don't worry we will be having words" she said.
"Alice I – hold on" I said as a knock at my door cuts me off. Rosalie is there.
"Are you OK?" she asks.
"Girls seriously I am fine. He is a dick. You both know that I have dealt with dicks before and not just in the way I know you girls are thinking about but I will just pick myself up and move on just like I always do. Now I don't want to sound like an ungrateful bitch but I really want to be left alone. I will call you if I need anything OK"
"OK but don't hesitate to call any of us if you need to we all love you" Alice said as she and Rose left.
I spent the next 2 hours cleaning every inch of the apartment. I had just decided to take a shower when there was a knock at the door again. "What do you want now bitches?" I yelled on my way to the door assuming it was Rose and Alice again. It was not. "Jake, what are you doing here?" I asked when I had opened the door surprised at my visitor.
"Can we talk?" he asked nervously.
"Of course. You want to come in?" I asked standing to the side so he could enter.
"Could we go out? Maybe get some coffee? If it's all right with you" he suggested.
"That's fine, come on in while I change" I said as I started towards my room to change. After quickly throwing on a comfy pair of skinny jeans and a rolling stones t-shirt I returned to the living room where Jake was sitting rigidly on one of the couches. "Alright let's head out" I said as I grabbed my purse on the way to the door. We walked to the nearest Starbuck in silence. This is so unlike us we are usually so comfortable around each other, never an awkward silence but today we just don't feel right. We each ordered our usual and sat down at a quiet booth in the back.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked after several minutes of silence.
"Well . . ." he began before I cut him off.
"Edward" I said out loud in disbelief. What are the chances that Edward would walk in the same fucking coffee shop I'm in? And oh fuck he isn't alone. God hates me.
