Bella's POV
I closed my eyes and counted the seconds. 1, 2, 3, 4... When I got to over 200, I stopped counting. I cracked my eyes open just to make sure Edward hadn't left. His face was a mask of no emotion, I was used to that, but his expressive, green eyes were completely blank. They held no emotion, not the love and understanding I wanted to see or the hate and disgust I knew I was going to see. That was so much worse. Sometimes having someone rip you to shreds is better than them doing nothing at all.
"Say something, please!" I begged, "Yell at me, tell me how disgusting I am, slap me, anything!" And I still got no response. He wasn't looking at me, more like through me. My vision was blurred from the tears in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away. I didn't deserve to cry. We stood like that for an immeasurable amount of time.
"I have to go," Edward said, snapping me out of my thoughts. His voice was a million miles away and detached. He turned around without a real look at me and walked off, leaving me alone in the middle of the forest. After I picked myself up off the ground, I eventually made it back to my house. Thankfully, my dad was already passed out drunk.
I would like to say things got better. I would love to say that Edward and I were still friends and that he accepted what I had done. I longed for him to tell me he didn't hate me. In biology, we sat in silence next to each other. I knew he needed his space to process what I told him. When school let out for break, I began to panic. He hadn't talked to me in two weeks. Every other day, I left him messages on his voicemail.
"Edward, I'm so sorry. I was stupid and awful and I caused your family so much trouble. I am sorry."
"Edward, it's me again. I just called to say that I miss you and I'm so sorry. Please, just call me back."
"It's been a whole month and still nothing. I'm dying without you. You are my best and only friend. I can't believe I hurt you like this. I'm sorry."
Day after day, I would get nothing in return. As the weeks went on, my messages got more and more desperate. Although my head was a mess, there was an eerie calm about my days. If I would've only known, then I wouldn't have gone to see him. Even though my messed up head was telling me to turn around, I wouldn't listen. I walked up and knocked loudly on the office door. A beautiful, blonde man answered.
"Oh, hello, Bella. I wasn't expecting to see you here. Come in," Dr. Carlisle said as he ushered me inside.
Author's Note: Wow, that took a lot longer to update than I planned. Sorry that these chapters keep getting shorter and shorter, but next chapter I will DEFINITELY make up for it (; Spoiler alert: Edward and Bella talk and some very interesting things are said. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and pease review! The next chapter will be coming out on August 15th (:
