I decided to go outside to get away from the awkward atmosphere in the living room. I was sitting on the railing of the front porch when I heard someone approaching my position. I took a sniff of the air to catch the scent, so I could identify the Cullen. I stiffened immediately when I smelled the honey, lilac, and sunshine scent of Edward. I sighed.
"Can we talk?" He quietly asked as he came up behind me.
"No." I replied without even glancing in his direction.
"Please Bella. Just give me another chance. I'm still in love with you, and I know that deep down you're still in love with me." I nearly gagged in disgust, but I was able to control myself. I whipped around to face him in less than a second.
"Listen to me Cullen, and listen well. I. Am. Not. In. Love. With. You. I never was. I was merely fascinated and infatuated with you, just like you were with me. You never loved me. You were curious as to why you could not read my mind, and my scent drew you in. That is all that was ever between us, and the sooner you realize that, the better it will be for everyone. I thought I loved you, but I was wrong. It took you leaving me for me to realize how I truly felt, and accept myself. In case you haven't noticed, Edward, I am gay. I like girls. I was scared and confused, so I convinced myself that I was in love with you. I never loved you as more than a friend and brother, but you ruined even that by leaving." I stared him straight in the eye as I spoke.
"This is just a phase Isabella." He scoffed completely ignoring the whole first part of my speech. "You will soon realize that we belong together."
"Are you trying to get your ass kicked by me again Cullen? If you keep on about this 'we belong together' shit, I will not hesitate to hurt you. We don't belong together, because I do not like boys. You are a boy. I do not like dicks. You have a dick. How much simpler can I say it?" I growled. He was really starting to get on my nerves.
"You are my mate Isabella. You will be with me. You're just angry about us leaving. How long will you hold that against us? It was a hundred years ago. I was just trying to protect you." I was sick of his pompous attitude.
"You call leaving me alone with a vampire hunting me, protecting me? Ha! Don't make me fucking laugh. You left because you got bored with your poor, little, pathetic human. Don't try to lie and say you love me, or that you left to protect me. If you had loved me you would have changed me. You would have made an effort to keep me around for the rest of eternity. So don't try and lie Edward. For once, give the truth a chance." As I was turning away from him, he reached out as if to grab my arm and pull me back around. However, my shield was up, stopping his hand inches from my arm.
"Don't walk away from me Isabella." He growled.
"Who do you think you are Edward? You have no right to order me around. That's all our relationship ever was. You telling me what to do, but I have news for you Edward; I'm not the pathetic human you left behind!" I shouted as I pushed him backwards. He crashed through the front door. I could see the rest of the Cullens standing inside, frozen in shock staring at Edward as he picked himself up off the floor. He growled at me, eyes becoming dark pools of night.
"I have every right. You are my mate. The women listen to the men in a relationship." He was glaring at me the whole time.
"Wrong answer Cullen." I snarled as I leapt at him. We both crashed to the ground this time. I was pinning him down, but he soon got out from under me. We both sank into crouches, circling each other to see who would make the first move.
"I'm sick of you and your attitude Edward. You need to learn some respect for women. Women are not objects to be owned by men. Every woman deserves to be treasured, and treated like a queen. They don't deserve someone like you, who thinks only his way is the right way. Who doesn't even take their opinion into account. I am so tired of you thinking we belong together. I don't like you! Get that through your fucking thick skull, before I beat it into you. If you want even a chance to earn my forgiveness, and friendship, then I suggest you leave me the fuck alone, before I kill you. When you can finally accept the fact that we will never be together, and start acting like a man, not a petulant child who didn't get his way, maybe I'll think anout forgiving you. You're wrong by the way. I'm not angry at you and your family anymore. I'm hurt and disappointed by you all. You were my boyfriend, and claimed to love me, yet you broke me so completely?" I turned to look at Alice next. "You were supposed to be my best friend and you just abandoned me. Did I ever even mean anything to you?"
Next, was Emmett. "You were the big brother I had always wanted. Brothers are supposed to protect their sisters. Not leave them behind."
I turned to Esme. "You were like my second mother. I loved you as if we shared blood, and you left like everyone else! I never imagined you could be so cold hearted, even if you are a vampire."
They were all just standing there speechless. My eyes then landed on Jasper.
"I don't blame you for what happened at my birthday. I do however blame you for leaving. I know we weren't that close because of you thirst, but I still loved you like a brother."
Rose was the last person I looked at. "Like I've said before, you are the only one I have any respect left for. You never cared about me. You never pretended I was a part of this family. You made sure I knew I wasn't welcomed. I should have listened to you, and never have gotten involved with you all."
My vision was blurry form tears that would never fall as I ran into the trees. I would come back for my meeting with Carlisle when the time came, I would also pick up my bike then. For now though, I just wanted to get away. From the pain. From the memories threatening to overwhelm me. From the family that had broken me so completely. From everything. I just needed to get away.
A/N: So what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Review and let me know. This chapter just wouldn't come out right. I rewrote it like five times. I just couldn't get it right. Oh well. I finally got a draft that I was happy with :) and sorry about it being so short. Like I said it was a hard chapter to write.
