illicit Relationship (Editing)

Ch 17: Edward

“Trying to make someone fall in love with you is about as pointless as trying to control who you fall in love with.”

"H-how?" I asked a little afraid of what the answer would be. 

He looked at me and smiled, but his smile wasn't as I remembered. It was a sick smile, the kind of smile a rapist gives you. 

"Oh, it’s a long story." he said while waving me off.  

"Well I have to go." I said standing up and ready to walk away from his creepy smile. 

But he grabbed onto my hand and yelled "Wait!"  

I slowly turned to him and put on a fake smile "What?" I said, trying my hardest not to finch at the pain I felt on the hand he was holding, or his angry voice.

He looked sad, "I thought you would be happier to see Me." he said scowling.  

I smiled "I would be if I hadn't thought that you died some hundred years ago." I said a little confused.  

He smiled. "We can talk about it over coffee."

I pulled my hand away, slight nervous.  

He milled "Great! It’s a date."  

I chuckled nervously. Afraid of what he would do if I told him that I had already found my soul mate.

"Well?" I said taking a sip of my iced coffee. 

"Well I’ve been a vampire for hundreds years. Only about five more years than you though. Do you remember when I moved there with my parents?" he asked me. 

I nodded and silently and let him continue.  

"Well I used my powers to make my parents think I aged, no one else knew me so I didn’t have to." he said smiling, proud of himself.  

"Well that’s interesting" I said having a minor flash back about something he had said to me a long time ago.  

Flashback 

Edward and I were walking around town shopping, well I was shopping and he was holding my bags. I had gone inside a store to buy ribbon, when I came out Edward was sitting on a bench staring up at the sky, I sat down next to him and sighed.  

"What if you could live forever Emma, would you?" he seemed to be lost in thought. 

"It’s impossible Edward." I said looking at him worried. "There’s no point in thinking of such things." but I could see the worry in his eyes.  

"ok." he said sighing before standing up and holding out his hand for me to hold.

I smiled nervously before grabbing ahold of his hand and letting him walk me towards the next store.

Edward grabbed onto my hand and smiled. "I’m so happy I found you Emma." he said, once again with a creepy smile. 

"Me too." I said smiling.  

"Now we can get married and..." I stopped him from talking.  

"Whoa. We just found each other and you want to get married. I’m sorry Edward, I’m dating someone.” I said looking down at my coffee, I felt nervous because the second I responded I could feel the anger radiating from him.

"What!" he whispered in an angry tone.  

"Like I said, I’m dating someone." I said calmly 

"A human?" he said in an angry tone.  

I nodded and smiled thinking of Mr. Night.  

"Why? Your better than that. You don't deserve a weak human, you deserve the best. Someone who can protect you. Someone like me." I could hear the venom in his voice even though he was trying to calm down. 

"He’s my soul mate, and-" I stared at him angrily "and I love him" I said trying hard not to smile.  

He smiled his creepy little smile. "Remember when you used to love me?" he said smugly.  

"Over five hundred years ago" I whispered harshly.  

He continued to smile, playing with the straw on his drink. "I bet you still have feelings for me" he said looking me dead in the eyes.  

"I love joseph and nothing, not even you, is going to change that." I said looking away from him.  

"Ah! But that’s the thing." he said as a realization. "What is he rejects you when he finds out what you are. No sensible human would stay with a killer, no matter how much they love you" 

I frowned, I’ve thought of that so much, but I’ve been hoping he wouldn’t. But hearing it come from someone else, it sounded more realistic.  

"I don’t care." I said "I love him more than I’ve ever loved anyone. Even you" 

-Tsk- he said. "and I thought you would be smarter than this, I left my soul mate for you, and I thought you loved me enough to reject your soul mate for me." he said standing up and walking to the door.  

He stopped at the door, it was half way open and he stood there. Then he slowly turned to me and smiled. "I changed you for nothing" he said shaking his head one last time before disappearing into the night.  

I sat there on that chair for about thirty minutes, thinking about the day’s events.  

I woke up today confused about my feelings, unable to stop thinking about Edward or Mr. Night. And now, a couple of hours later, here I am, sitting at a coffee shop. With new information in my head

Edward was the bastard that changed me, and now I’m stuck living forever, confused as hell, and all alone.  

I left a tip on the table before walking home, unsure of what to do.
