"Come for a walk with me?" Edward asked.
This is it, I thought to myself. He's going to leave me. Just the thought sent a pain so through my chest so strong that I could hardly breathe. I quickly composed myself.
I knew this was coming. He's been putting distance between us, acting odd. He thought I had no clue. But I know him better than I know myself. Even though it hurt, I can't put into words how beyond pissed it made me.
Let's do this.
"Of course." I said in an innocent voice. He gave me a weird look before walking towards the woods.
Oh hell no! Was my first thought. He is not going to leave me in the woods!
Despite my thoughts, I followed him down the path. After what seemed like ages he turned towards me, his face expressionless. I merely looked him dead in the eyes and gave him a fierce glare. I saw the confusion on his face before he straightened his mask again.
"We're leaving, Bella." he said, even his voice held no emotion.
"When you say we...?" I asked. My voice was surprisingly calm.
"I mean my family and myself."
I had already known this. What I didn't understand was why? So I asked.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I'm tired of being something I'm not. I am not human, Bella. You don't belong in my world." He must have seen that I was about to object because his next words caused the worst kind of pain I could ever experience.
"I don't want you in my world, Bella." His voice was so cold. It was so hard not to believe him. It made sense. Why would he want me, a pathetic human?
"You...Don't... Want me?" I asked in a small voice. Gosh, I sounded so weak!
He gave me a blank stare and simply said "No."
I searched his eyes for something, anything to ease the pain. What I saw made it possible to breathe.
I saw past the indifferent mask I found the same agony I felt. He was lying to me.
Oh fuck to the no! Time to call Bullshit.
I looked him straight in the eyes and in a surprisingly calm, but strong voice, I said, "You'ee lying to me."
He looked shocked but he hid it well. "No I'm n-"
"I'm not done speaking." I said in a deadly tone. The look on his face when I said that... priceless!
"I don't like being lied to. At least have the guts to tell me the truth."
He composed his mask once again and in a heartless voice he said "That is the truth. You were just a nice distraction for a while, but now I'm bored. You are only an average human after all." And who's fault is that, buddy? "Of course I'll always care for you... In a way. But this has gone on long enough."
I would have believed him, if I couldn't see how much it pained him to say it. But Gosh that hurt. However, I was also so pissed I could barely remember my own name.
He must have seen the rage in my expression because he seemed shocked. He never let his mask drop but I knew him too well to not see it.
Oh, shit's about to go down!
"You know what, Edward? Fuck you. I'm calling bullshit,"
He looked surprised by colorful vocabulary. Good.
