The Next Day
Department Of Precrime
6:55 AM
Ren POV
The ride to work, wasn't very much same as it was since Aunt Rosalie opened up a old can of worms up. Mom, looked at dad; like she wanted to say something. But, the word's just wouldn't come out. She turned away very fast, uses her vampire speed. Hadn't seen her; early this morning. Mom, just hadn't returned yet. Hope she did soon, I could tell that dad was really hurting very deeply. Wish, that I could help both of them forget what happened before I was born. Unfortunately, you can't erase bad memories or even wish them away. Hope mom, will at least come back and talk to dad. He looks devastated and heartbroken. Mom, really need to forgive herself and move on.
Edward POV
After dropping off my daughter at work, I made it on a long drive back home. I wasn't sure, where Bella went too. Hope, she is safe. Was still pretty hurt and angry about what Rosalie had said and did. She was just piss off, just don't understand what her deal was. It was like, she just wanted to hurt everyone around her. Did, that make her happy to hurt her own family. Because she was still jealous; that Bella and I had everything she had ever wanted and more.
After returning home, thought about going hunting for some quick deer. When Bella comes walking up to me. "Bella?" She looked hurt and upset even more. Biting her bottom lip; very hard and staring at the ground in front of her. Her arms, are crossed over her chest. She looked have been crying, if it was possible for us cry real tears. I really wanted to say something to her. Before I could, say anything to her. "Edward?! I'm sorry for running away from you last night." Bella, hair look to be very wild and out of control. "Before, you say anything else. Just need to get this out of my system. Before, I chicken out and never talk to you about this."
"Bella, if this is about what Rosalie said yesterday. Can we just forget about it." I was getting really sick and tried of bringing up the past.
"That just it Edward, we can't sweep away past. It still hurting all of us. Don't forget, it is hurting our daughter too." Bella had a hard look in her eyes. My long dead heart ache, how could I forget how much Ren; but feels like Jacob is still haunting all of us.
"I know, wish we could let go of the past too. I'm guessing, we haven't truly face it." We had left in a hurry after Ren came home. Said, that Leah and Jacob were having an affair together.
"Edward, I'm the most guilty one out of everyone. I let him; into our lives and I hurt everyone including our daughter." Look at her feet more and more. Was she too scared to look at me.
"Bella! If you're going to face your past. Look up at me; not your shoes." Wanted her to look me, in the eyes.
Slowly lifted up her head, I can't read her mind unless she allows it. "I'm sorry, feel so guilty for hurting everyone that is my family. Feel bad, because I thought of Jacob as a friend at one time." Her teeth are on her bottom lip; "but what I really hurt the worse, were two who mean the world to me my daughter and my true love and soulmate you."
"Jacob Black, will always be a dark cloud for us." Hated to admit the truth to myself. He would always be apart of our lives. Sure, we all been happy for a long time.
"I know, unless we all stopped with all the guilt and finger pointing. I'm the one who is responsible, for bringing him In to our family lives." She held up her hand, "don't even argue with me. Edward! It was my fault, kept holding on to him. Lead him on, when I know he wanted more from me. But, because I'm a coward, I let him guilt trip and manipulate me. Should have ended right then and there after he forceful kiss me. I was wrong to accept any gifts from him. When he was acting like, he owned me. Saw how much he changed, thought I owed him for everything he did for me." Her whole body is shaking violently. "Shouldn't have tried to keep as friend, when I let him continue to hurt me and you. Over and over again and again. Feel worse, for asking him; to kiss me. That was wrong after, we had not gotten engaged less then two days."
"Sometimes, wonder why you keep him close. Other times, think you were out to hurt me for leaving you." I don't need air. "Sure I lied to you and broke your heart the day after you're birthday. Kept defending him and his behavior. At times thought, it was a mistake of coming back. Cause you don't even wear my mothers engagement ring I had given you. You! Don't even Consider my feelings half the time. You defended him and his pack; more worried about them then us. When you know everyone, could take care of themselves. Did you really think, that he cared about your feelings when he knew how to get inside your head. The only thing, cared about was killing vampires. If he had it his way, he would have destroyed me and my family. I mean, give him permission to destroy me after Ren birth."
"You?! What?! But, why you do that?" Bella looked horrified from learning that bit of information.
"When you had chosen to keep our daughter, the way you look like death. Any second, you could have died; and I would have followed though with what Jacob always wanted."
"You mean! Jacob was going to kill you from the start." She looked horrified, "this is all my fault. But, I promise you, our daughter and my family from this day forward. I promise to always have faith and you and our family. Never disregard anyone else feeling over Jacob every again. He is dead to me."
