BPOV:
"So do you like it?" He said after a long length of time in which I just stared at the ring in pure disbelief with tears streaming down my face.
He sounded like my opinion really mattered to him.
Would he buy me another ring if I said that I didn't like it or something? I mean didn't he already buy it?
I would even take a piece of rope as a ring if it came from him, didn't he know how desperately I had been waiting for this day to come?
I guess not.
I don't think I was quite capable of saying anything right now.
I couldn't even bring myself to tear my gaze away from the ring as though it would disappear the moment I looked away.
So I just nodded my head.
Liked it? I loved it! I wanted to tell him this but he spoke before I could.
"Good, that means she will like it too."
It took me a minute to process what he just said partly because I was trying to convince myself that I had imagined what he just said.
This ring wasn't for me was it? I would break down here and now if that were the case.
No, this isn't possible. Of course I'm just imagining it.
I had always been terrible at convincing myself.
I guess there was only one way to find out.
"Wh-What?"
I couldn't manage to speak. I couldn't even hear my own voice.
I barely mouthed the words but I think he understood what I said because he just cracked a smile and said
"Oh of course, I didn't tell you who the ring was for, well you'll just have to see for yourself because she's just about to arrive. I wanted it to be a surprise for you but I wanted your approval first because you are my best friend after all and by the looks of it you defiantly approve. Geez bells I thought you would at least give me a hug but you just sit there crying."
If he thought I was crying now wait till he saw me in a few minutes. I couldn't keep it inside much longer
I had to leave, NOW, while I was still able to walk.
The world had shattered leaving the shreds encasing me so that I could throb and bleed.
Pull yourself together Swan! Now is not the time for this! I shouted at myself inside my head.
I could break down all I wanted later. Right now I had to act my part as flawlessly as I could in my current emotional state.
I didn't want Edward to know what I initially thought of the ring.
I had to be happy for him because after all he deserved it.
I should have known better then this. Why in the world would he go for someone as plain and uninteresting as me when he could choose someone who was pretty?
I quickly got up and gave him a hug before my thoughts got the better of me and I would have to run outside.
I wonder who he did choose though.
No I couldn't allow myself to think that because I might end up on the floor crying my heart out, or what's left of it anyway,I had to act appropriately or else he would be suspicious but I had to get out before she arrived.
I wouldn't be able to last through him getting down on one knee and…. I can't even complete that thought, it hurt just too much.
"Hey Edward I'm really busy tonight so…"
But I trailed off when I saw the most gorgeous women I had ever seen enter the restaurant and everyone turned to stare at her.
I mean I'm not kidding she looked like she belonged on a runway.
Why the hell is she here when she could go to some fancy restaurant?
I guess she was thinking something along the same lines as she assessed her surroundings.
Edward shot me a questioning look since he couldn't see Miss I'm-such-a-hot-and-classy-bitch as his back was to the door.
He turned around and smiled and waved at her to catch her attention and when she finally saw him she began walking towards our table looking into his eyes.
Oh please let her be looking at someone else and walking towards some other table please, please, please.
Wait why the hell am I so worried? It's not like they know each other or anything.
My mind must be playing tricks on me again. She must be one of his patients or something.
Or maybe…. I didn't dare complete that thought. I wouldn't be able to stop myself from bolting through the doors if I did.
She finally walked over to our table and I realized that she was even more beautiful up close with long, wavy blonde hair to her waist, creamy white skin and ocean blue eyes. She looked like something out of a fashion magazine and I took a huge hit on my already microscopic self esteem.
This was going to be hard, possibly the hardest thing I have, and will ever have to do but sometimes in life you just have to take everything that fate dishes your way with a smile, you just have to suck it up and act as if nothings wrong because there is no other choice.
You have to take pain no matter what and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I had already made the decision to be or rather act like I was happy for him and I will follow it, no matter what I will not let my feelings get in the way of Edwards happiness.
She leaned in to give him a kiss and this confirmed my suspicions.
Oh good god why cant for once in my life things go they way I want them to?
Was I born with some sort of curse on me or something?
Did I really do something this horrible to deserve such a punishment?
Brain if you don't shut up right this instant you WILL regret it!
While I was desperately trying to distract myself with anything and everything Edward started the introductions.
"Bella this is Rosalie, my girlfriend."
I could tell that he really wanted me to like her and so I put on a sincere smile and said hi to her and extended my hand towards her, after looking at my hand with a look of disgust on her face she looked at my face as if to ask whether I really expected her to shake my hand.
My smile faltered and I let my hands drop, she then sneered at me like a victorious soldier sneers down on his weaker opponent.
Why was she being so malicious?
She didn't even know me, this was the first time we met, how could I have possibly done something to make her hate me so much?
Maybe I was just imagining things.
But any way I will not let her get to me no matter what, I'm doing this for Edward and for Edward alone, she can just crawl in to a hole and die for all I care.
Luckily Edward didn't notice our pleasant exchange because he was searching for our waiter to order something for Rosalie.
Honestly did Edward really choose her?
She was not at all what I had expected but then again what did I really know of Edwards choice of girl?
We never really discussed it, I mean sure I had teased him about it that he shouldn't be picky or else he wont be able to find someone who would be able to deal with his large ego but he had always said that he wanted to marry someone just like me, he didn't go for looks.
We were fifteen then and apparently a lot had changed since then.
It was cruel of me to judge her; maybe she was a nice person once you got to know her.
It didn't seem like it though but whatever if this was Edwards's choice then who was I to say anything about it?
Rosalie was currently sitting on Edwards lap and as I watched he leaned in to whisper something in her ear and she looked him in the eye and nodded.
Uh why was I still here? , Because I'm a total sucker for pain, right.
Maybe I can just sneak out without them noticing me. They seem pretty occupied with each other I'm sure they wouldn't really notice.
She stood up with Edward, uh-oh I know what's going to happen next, I can still make it if I run, aww heck I'll crawl, just let me get out of here before….
He dropped down on one knee and grabbed the ring from the table, too late to run now might as well enjoy the show, wait Rosalie didn't notice the box? Really was she that stupid but then blonds are known to be rather dim….
He opened the box and said "Will you marry me?" simply without saying anything else, I noticed that he didn't say he loved her but oh well who cares really….
She said yes, of course but there was no glow on her face like there should have been, she wasn't even smiling or staring in to his eyes she was frowning at the ring and then she said "Edward could you get me another ring please? The diamond's too small in this one, I can barely see it"
I nearly burst out laughing.
What was Edward thinking?
This thought triggered something.
Yes what was he thinking? Why her?
Okay now I seriously need to get out of here before I end up doing something I would regret later like stabbing Rosalie or something but come to think of it why would I ever regret doing that?
I ran towards the exit shouting a hasty goodbye to Edward and not meeting his eye, before I could get my hands on a knife.
Edward would not thank me for murdering his fiancé.
That hurt. Edward has a fiancé, he's marrying someone else.
I took off running towards my apartment building which was ten blocks from here, how I managed to make it there without tripping once I will never know but I didn't stop once until I was inside my apartment where I was finally able to break down and cry and let the pain take over.
Like it? Love it? Hate it? I wont know until you tell me so leave me review. I'd love to hear your thoguhts on the story.
