SM owns. Not beta'd.
Witfit Prompt: Redeem.
What the fuck did you do? -R
My sister.
I didn't do anything, Rose. -E
So why is B so sad all of a sudden? It's her bday, you jerk. -R
I breathe and exhale loudly. I pull up a stool at a bar down the street from Alice's and motion the bar tender for a drink. This night's been a disaster.
Rose, I seem to make her unhappy. I don't want that. I decided to take myself out for her sake. -E
The phone rings. Fuck.
"What in the ever-loving fuck are you talking about? Edward, You guys have always been close. I just don't get it. Clueless... the both of you."
This, surprisingly, isn't the worst chew-out my sister has ever done to me.
I take a sip of my Guinness. She continues...
"And you need to stop this pattern of always leaving when things get tough. Your'e not doing this escape thing for 'her sake', you're doing it for yours. You're too stupid to see what's in front of you."
"Rose, Bella is better off without me to piss her off all the time."
"UGH! You're so infuriating. I don't understand how I share DNA with you."
I snort humorlessly.
"Edward. B hasn't been herself for the last year. I don't know what happened between you two, but you better fix it. Find a way to redeem yourself. She's my friend too. I love her," Rose says, almost tired.
"You don't think I do?"
"The show it. Be the best friend you claim to be. She needs you, even if you think she doesn't."
She hangs up on me.
Living my life without Bella in it. I don't think I can handle it anymore.
A/N: I'm loving all your theories. Truth is, your guess is as good as mine at this point. More a little later.
Looks like chapters 5 & 6 are showing up now. If not, PM me and I'll C&P for you ;)
