A/N: So it's great to be back and to be doing some writing! I promised that I would update quickly and so here it is.
So there will be some steaminess in this chapter however the real lemons will not happen until later on because let's face it these two have a long way to go.
QUESTION do you guys want to see a chapter from Edward's prospective?

Is little room for things worn out:
Disdain them, break them, throw them by!
And if before the days grew rough
We once were lov'd, us'd - well enough,
I think, we've far'd, my heart and I.

Edward stood there with his foolish grin while I stand here thinking that maybe, just maybe I could have a chance at happiness again. Are you stupid? What makes you think you deserve happiness? What makes you think he could look past all of your faults?
Coughing in order to gain his attention I say, "Well thank you for stopping by but I left school because… I was feeling… sick." Sounds like a genuine excuse right? "Oh well, umm, are you feeling alright now?" Edward said slowly moving forward, "Because it would be nice if maybe we could hangout a bit…"
I started off, "Well, Edward I don-"
"You know since we are going to be neighbors and stuff," Edward cut in. And "stuff", what the fuck is that supposed to mean? "Well I guess so," I answered with a timid smile. I shuffled over to the couch sitting down, Edward fallows taking a seat write next to me.
Edward coughs bringing my attention towards him, "So I was wondering if you'd come over and watch season one of the Game of Thrones, it's a good show." I smile at him nodding my head. I mean what am I supposed to say? You're supposed to say no. You're supposed to shield yourself from him; this cannot, will not end well for you or for him.
…..
"Really you're going to be hooked before you know it. Let's watch episode 9," Edward says adding, "I haven't seen this one yet."
Putting the DVD in the player Edward came back and placed his hand on my knee. He smiles and looks over at me and all I am able to do is sit there frozen.
The scenes play, and I have to admit it, it's a pretty good show. Mind you at some moments it is a little bit gory but not so much that I can't handle, and hey! I've forgotten about Edward's hand being on my knee. I allow myself a small smile.
But then of course nothing can stay plain old nice for long. It Edward's hand removing it's self from my knee that brought my attention back to the screen. Tyrion was on the screen talking about how he got his heart broke: his brother had paid a whore and two men to play an act, the whore pretending to have been raped and the two men chasing her. Tyrion takes the whore to a hostile to take care of but amidst a drunken night he falls in love with her and then the truth of her being paid.
Edward sits in silence as I sit there frozen once again, completely unable to move. Edward's lips first and it barely comes out as a whisper, "I can't stand hearing about rapes, but that was a cruel joke to play on another's heart."
Before I knew it, before I could understand it, my lips were on his, and it took a moment to realize that I was the one who launched across the couch at him.
Fingers pulling on hair.
Lips moving in sync.
Tongues fighting for dominance.
Bodies pulsing against each other.
Time flying.
It is all so good. It is all so right.
He's going to hurt you. It was a whisper in my mind, and it echoed through my soul. I wrenched my body away from him. My eyes are blurry, I can hardly see through this fog that my body has created for me. He'll hurt you just like the others. "I… I'm… s-sorry," barely even registering it as it leaves my lips.
Edward gets up and I try to take my eyes off him but I can't. His body seems to be seething with anger. "You don't get to do that, you can't just kiss me and then run off," his eyes soften as his voice lowers. That's when I noticed that I am shaking.
Turning around I make my escape. And Edward doesn't fallow me.
It's because you're broken. No one wants a broken girl. No one wants you.
A/N: I know sorry for leaving you in angst but it will get easier in the future
