I had managed to pretend to sleep the first hour of the drive back. I had closed my eyes and allowed the classical musical fill the car. Edward didn't seem to mind my sleeping presence. Actually he seemed quite content yelling at the slow cars. He had always loved to drive fast even when we were kids.

After that hour though, I couldn't keep the sleeping charade up.

"Bella, I know you're awake," his velvety voice said over the piano number.

I rolled my eyes underneath my eyelids and silently wondered how he knew I wasn't asleep.

"Bella Swan! I know you're not asleep because you haven't spoken once. And I know that you talk in your sleep." He seemed to answer my minds question.

I slowly opened my eyes and glanced over at him. "How do you know I haven't changed? I could have stopped talking in my sleep."

He chuckled although it seemed without humor. "My dear Bella, there is nothing that could ever stop you from talking in your sleep. It's actually quite endearing to tell you the truth. The things you say are lovely if I do remember correctly."

"And I remember you being an ass that just walked away." I mumbled under my breath. How dare he talk about how endearing my sleep talk was?

"What?" Edward asked. I mentally slapped myself when I realized he had heard.

"Nothing. It's of no importance." I replied quickly hoping he would change the subject.

"I highly doubt it was of no importance. But really Bella if you have something to say to me then say it. We are still friends aren't we? We can still talk?"

How dare he ask me if we can still talk! The nerve of him. He's the one who left. He's the one who took my heart with him. He's the one who destroyed my life.

"We're not really what one would call friends Edward. More like business partners maybe? No more like you're the employer and I'm the employee. I guess that would be a good way to explain a wedding planner right?" I rattled on. I realize that we weren't really business partners but hey let's get off of the friends bit.

"Bella I never meant to hurt you to the point that we couldn't be friends. I always thought that one day we would be able to be friends again. Me being there for you and you being there for me?" He said as brightly as one could in this situation. I could hear regret in his voice. Regret and pain.

All I felt was anger. Anger that I had never let myself feel this whole time. I had felt pain. I had felt regret. I had felt embarrassment. I had felt abandoned. I had felt lonely. But I had never felt anger.

Not until the moment he said he had never meant to hurt me to the point that we couldn't be friends.

What did he think? That he was going to cause the kind of pain where I would just forgive him like that? Or maybe the kind that I would cave into him?

No I was a new Bella. A pissed off Bella.

"You never meant to hurt me to the point that we couldn't be friends Edward? Really? What the hell did you think you were doing? In your messed up view of the situation did it seem like I was going to be hunky dory with the whole thing? That I was going to see that you had my best intentions at heart?" I said calmly but with venom in my voice. I think I liked pissed off Bella.

"I never-" Edward began but I cut him off.

"No it's my turn to talk this time. You did all of your talking last time. Remember when you asked me if you could keep me forever at the dance? I screwed up that night and told you yes. I should have told you just to keep me until you were done with me. I guess that would make better sense in the end. Well the end you created Edward. But you know what the worst part was? Do you? It was when you said you weren't in love with me but you still had some kind of love for me. That ripped me to shreds Edward." I bit my lip from crying. I had cried far too much over him and I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

"I thought you were going to come back. That you wouldn't be able to stay away. That you had just had a momentary lapse of judgment. But the months passed and I realized that you weren't coming back. I was young and stupid I know. But still all those times you said you loved me I had thought meant something. Then I realized that you meant that you loved me in a way just not the way I thought you meant."

I looked out the window. It was becoming twilight. This had been our time of day when he had been teenagers. Now it just seemed like a bitter end.

"I just have one question. Why did you do it? You never gave me a reason. So why?" I had to ask. It was the only thing that could ever cure this.

"I can't tell you. It was for the best though," he barely whispered loud enough for me to hear.

"You're right it was for the best Edward. Now please pull over there and let me out of this car." I couldn't be in this car anymore without the fear of crying and going ballistic.

"We are still three hours away. I'm not letting you out of this car."

"I said let me out of this damn car. I'll call Alice. I'll call Jasper. I'll call a damn taxi, I don't care. Just let me out of this damn car." My voice was coming out louder with every word.

"Bella calm down. I'll take you home. You can handle another three hours."

Damn him and his calmness.

"Pull the damn car over now Edward!" I screamed.

He looked over at me with his emerald eyes and I thought I saw a flicker of sadness before he pulled the car over into a gas station.

"Thank you Edward. And I mean it for everything." I said as I climbed out of the car.

I ducked my head back into the car to grab my purse and cell phone. And thought of something.

"Don't worry Edward, I never kept my promise either."

And with that I slammed the door and he sped off.

Oh shit what am I going to do about the wedding?

A/N: Sorry about this taking so long. It just took me forever to see how I wanted this to go. But I liked this. Okay well R&R pretty please! Much love LilD
