It ripped my heart apart.
Broke the dam.
Gave me pain and anger.
The anger needed an outlet and he was the target.
My hand moved and I watched as it hit his face one, twice, three times.
He was shocked and took a step back.
"You love her!" I yelled.
"No, I said I did at the time. I thought it was something more but the feelings went away," he tried to defend himself.
I wasn't hearing that. All I knew was that he loved her.
"You lied to me. You said you would never hurt me, never love anyone but me!"
The tears were falling freely now and the ache in my heart was threatening to rip open. He moved closer as I moved back.
"Bella? I loved you, I love you and will always love you," he was pleading now.
"Don't lie to me."
"I love you!"
I wanted to hurt him as much as he hurt me. He needed to be physically and emotionally hurt, but physical was all I wanted right now. I needed to let go of my frustrations and he was the reason. I slapped him again this time harder.
"Shut up! You don't get to say that to me ever again!" I told him.
He looked at a loss for what to do and I used that to my advantage.
~TMWM~
I went and gathered my bags.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
I wasn't sure I would do this, but the answers I got changed things so much and now I was ready.
"I'm leaving. I need space and time. I was coming back but now I'm not so sure," I answered.
He fell to his knees begging and pleading.
"Give me one more chance to fix this," he cried.
I hated him.
"You don't get to cry. You have no right."
"Baby, please don't go. I thought you loved me you promised," he said, crawling towards me.
"You broke my heart and I'm breaking my promise," I said walking to the door.
Each step to the door he followed and every step weighed heavily on me. I never left, not even in bad times. I just couldn't and now I was making myself leave because I deserved better. I opened the door and turned to look at Edward one last time, taking in every inch of him. Those green apple eyes filled with tears, his glorious face. I had him on hands and knees but it didn't satisfy me.
"Bella," he tried one last time.
I shook my head sadly.
"Edward, I'm not leaving because I don't love you. I'm leaving because I love you and you don't deserve my love."
My last words to him before I closed the door.
So let me on down
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know...
I can love with all of my heart, baby
I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)
With a player like you I don't have a prayer
That's no way to live
Ohhhh... mmm nooo
It's just too little too late
Yeaahhhh...
