Chapter 4
I walked in right before Hermione introduced her boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. He seemed stuck up, but if she was happy that's fine.
Cedric came over; he could tell something was up. "Follow me." He led me down to the beach where he set up a fire.
"This is nice."
We talked about our lives and when I got to Edward I stopped myself. He held me in a hug and let me cry, just the way Edward used to. The only differences were the body temperature and the British accent. He leaned over and kissed me, I gave in. I promised myself I wouldn't get into another serious relationship, but maybe I could learn to love him, to get over Edward. Emmett was watching me in a tree. He started snickering.
"Can you excuse me a moment?" I got up and made sure he wasn't watching. I followed Emmett.
"Nice duplicate." He said.
"It isn't what you think. I don't like him the way he likes me...I'm lying to myself thinking if I learn to love Cedric, I'll get over your brother."
"You don't need to get over my brother. He is in pure hell without you." I couldn't believe it.
"Emmett, Edward made it very clear he didn't want me; there was no reason for him to stay or love me. Bye." I started to walk back.
"You okay, love," Cedric asked.
"Fine." He didn't know what a terrible liar I was.
"I'll come back next week." He said.
"Okay."
He was so sweet. But I couldn't help wonder if everything Emmett said was true. It can't be. He left me. And he was engaged. But why would Emmett lie? He was like a brother to me. He wouldn't want to hurt me anymore.
