"I'm sorry! I can explain it to you later..." I said to Emmett as I entered the elevator with Edward.
"Oh, don't worry about me." He smiled, "And I hope you guys figure everything out!"
"There is nothing to figure out..." Edward said stubbornly as the elevator door closed.
"Edward... I..."
"Like, really?" He said, "Why would you tell Alice about this?"
"I didn't tell her anything," I said, "She was there when the girls were discussing this video and she was there when I asked for that girl's TikTok id... I think she was curious, and..."
"She was... curious?" He said incredulously as we reached our floor and we got out of the elevator, "This is not a joke! It's our fucking lives!"
"I know that! I didn't tell her anything..." I said.
"Everything is just absurd and ridiculous!" He said as he started walking towards the door.
"Edward... I'm so sorry for everything..." I said, "Please! I'm..."
Yes, I had every right to be mad at him, but... I had told him so many hurtful things... Those were not at all necessary!
I could have easily avoided them!
Did I even realize at that time how much I was going to hurt him?
"I don't feel like discussing anything right now," he said as he entered the room.
"Okay... I won't say anything further... I just want to tell you that I'm really sorry for hurting you..." I said, "I thought I was..."
"Bella! Just leave me alone!" he said.
"Okay... I won't say anything..." I said, "Do you want me to leave the room or can I be here?"
"Do whatever the fuck you want. I don't care!" he snapped.
And that instantly brought tears to my eyes.
He was so hurt!
And there was nothing I could do about it!
But I needed to leave him alone.
I needed to give him time.
"Wait!" He said as he saw me walking towards the door.
"God! What am I doing!" He said as he pulled his hair.
"Bella... Please give me some time." He said after some time, "I know we have tons of good memories together in these last seven years... There is a reason why we're still here... And the reason is not just our daughters! We love each other... We have good memories... It's just that... I'm not able to recall a single one right now! But I know they're out there somewhere..."
