The Break-Up (a twilight fanfiction)

CHAPTER 1: inadequate

"Edward!" She called from the kitchen as she heard him walk into the house. "Babe, can you come here?"

"Yes love, in a second." He replied as he shrugged his jacket off and flopped onto the couch.

"No honey, I need you now." Bella said impatiently.

Edward, being his lazy self, groaned and slugged into the kitchen. Bella grinned and gave him a kiss. Edward broke the kiss and grabbed a bottle of beer from the refrigerator. He gave a weak smile and flopped right back on the couch and turned the television on.

"Edward? What's wrong?" Bella asked as she sat next to him on the couch. She put her hand on his shoulder.

He scoffed and moved away from her. Bella was confused as he grabbed a pack of cigarettes and went onto their porch. Tears filled her eyes as he looked up in the sky smoking a cigarette and shaking his head. What did she do wrong?

She watched as he was on the phone laughing and smiling. Who could he be talking to? When he finally came back inside he completely ignored Bella. Bella is used to this, he has been acting like this all week.

"Edward?" She mumbled. He looked up at her teary eyes.

"Mmmhhmmm?" He replied.

"Do you even want to be together anymore?" Bella managed to get out as a tear rolled down her cheek.

Edward froze. He gulped and nodded.

"Say something. Anything! I am so done with this attitude!" Bella wiped her tears and stood up. "I deserve someone better than this Edward. Where is the Edward who used to come home everyday and tell me how much he loves me and kissed me? Or the Edward who helped out around the house and didn't just lazy around the house?" She cried out in frustration.

Edward glared at her.

"Me? Where is the Bella that used to know how to have fun? Now all it is, is 'Oh hi honey' and 'how was your day honey'. That is ridiculous! We are twenty-six Bella! We should be going out to parties and having crazy, wild sex. But no, all you want to do is cuddle or go out to that dreadful musical all the damn time! I am bored, Bella. So fucking bored with this." Edward fussed. Bella opened her mouth but closed it, not knowing what to say.

"Are you cheating on me?" Bella's voice broke. Edward's expression softened and he bit his lip.

"Edward, please tell me you haven't." Bella sobbed.

"It was this one time with this stupid, stupid girl. You were at work and I had the day off. It was a dumb mistake." A tear rolled down his cheek.

"I'm not good enough for you." Bella stated.

"No, love-" Edward was cut off.

"Don't you dare call me love when your fucking penis has been in someone else! You could have just fucking told me!" She cried in pain.

"Bella please! I love you." Edward pleaded desperately.

"Bullshit, Edward. Bullshit." Bella shook her head and ran into their bedroom and locked the door.

She laid in the bed for hours. It was around 3:00 in the morning when she stopped crying. She walked out of the bedroom to get something to eat when she saw Edward sobbing on the couch with his head in one hand and a beer bottle in the other.

"Why did I mess this up? I fuck everything up." He mumbled. "I lost the love of my life." He took a swig out of the bottle.

He realized the bottle was empty so he got up to get another one. Bella was in the kitchen making a sandwich, acting like she didn't hear him.

"Love?" He questioned. Bella froze.

"Edward." She replied.

"Please, Bella. I love you so much, I fucked up. I am not asking you to forgive me, but please don't leave me." He got down on his knees.

"Edward.." Bella turned around.
