I had always hated any kind of 'hard' conversations, whether it was friends, relationships... If I wanted to run away from someone, I'd say something bitter or stupid, and they'd get fed up with me and leave!
But well, Edward Cullen didn't seem to be like anything else... And that irritated me!
He kept calling me even though I kept rejecting his calls!
"What's your problem?" I said as I answered the seventh call.
"Don't you dare hang up on me," he said angrily, "What's this? Be an adult and tell me what's actually bothering you."
"I'm not sure what is so difficult to understand..." I said, "I want to end this."
"Yes, and I'm asking why?" he said, "It shouldn't be that difficult to answer that."
I took a deep breath.
He wasn't going to understand my point of view!
"I was talking to your Mom and Irina earlier, and they mentioned Jane and you make a good pair. Also, Alice mentioned that you guys thought about getting married if you don't find anyone else by thirty."
Well, maybe I shouldn't have started with that. That sounded really stupid now that I said that out loud!
He didn't say anything for some time.
"I am not going to give any explanation because I refuse to believe that you're that stupid to get upset because of that," he said.
Yeah... It's stupid, but I thought it made sense!
"I don't know... I think it makes sense," I said.
"Oh really?" he said, "Tell me why you think it 'makes sense'?"
"She is not your uncle's wife," I said.
"And I don't care about that," he said.
"You should," I said.
"But I don't," he said.
"Maybe you will... In future." I said.
"I won't," he said.
"Everyone in your family knows me as Carlisle's wife," I said.
"I don't think that statement is true," he said.
"It is true," I said.
"We all know you since ages... As Riley and Jacob's sister," he said.
"Now don't say anything just for the sake of arguing," I said with irritation, "I was Carlisle's wife, and nobody would ever be able to accept me as your... girlfriend. So what's the point of this?"
"Why is what everyone thinks is that important?" he said, "Only what you and I think should be important."
"It is important to me," I said, "My Dad cheated with my Mom, and I'm the result of that 'cheating'. I've never had a normal childhood. I know I'm probably overthinking, but people will never see our relationship as a 'normal' relationship. They would just think that I'm a whore who had an affair with my late husband's nephew."
He didn't say anything, so I continued.
"I don't want my children to think that their mother is a whore... Like how they made me think about my mother," I said.
