Chapter 13 Stepping through the glass

EPOV

I awoke the nest morning still confused as ever. I decided to mess around on my piano. It's been forever since I had played. I sat down at the piano and started to play anything I could recall. As I finished I noticed a piece of paper under the edge of the rug under the piano. I picked it up and realized it was the song Bella has wrote when she was holed up here in this room. She was high as a kite when she wrote it. I can't believe it's still here. She had titled it My Glass Box. I folded it up and stuck it in my wallet. I decided to fix some breakfast. As I was starting my bacon the door bell rang.

“Angela, pleasant surprise.....Wait wha'ts wrong? Why are you crying? Why aren't you at work?”

“We need to talk.” She simply whispered. That's never a good sign.

“Uh.. Ok.. Come on in. I was just making breakfast. Do you want anything?”

“No. I'm fine.”

“Ok, well come sit at the bar while I cook and we can talk.”

“Edward, I've been thinking. I was so happy when you asked me out. I mean a guy lke you finding a girl like me interesting. We had so much fun together but I always felt like you hadn't give yourself one hundred percent to me and at lunch yesterday I realized why. I mean I accepted your proposal because I figured you would eventually fall in love with me but again after lunch yesterday I could see why. You may not realize this but you gravitate to her, your pulled to her. She loves you unconditionally and I think you love her too you just don't realize or remember that. When she gave me her tear filled approval, I couldn't get the look of pure and utter heart break out of my head. And when she said you took a bullet for her, I knew then you would love her more than you do me. And when later down the road and your memory returned you would hate me or come to resent me for not saying anything. So with that being said here is your ring back. We both know that I'm not the person it was meant for. I'm really sorry Edward but I want us both to be happy and together we will never be truly happy.” She said throughout the tears.

I placed her hand between mine and looked deep into her eyes. I had to make her see I never meant for any of this to happen.”Angela? I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you. Can you forgive me?”

“I'm not mad at you Edward or Bella. I mean I always wondered why we never had sex or anything. I would rather it be Bella Swan than another guy.” She said with a strained laugh.

“You seriously thought I was gay?”

“Well we were never intimate and never got real close. We were more like friends that kissed and held hands occasionally. I would love to stay friends with you and get to know Bella.”

I hugged Angela as she left to head to work. I shook my head to clear my thoughts after I closed the door behind her. I picked up my phone and dialed Alice as I turned off the eye under my burnt bacon.”Hey Al, are you busy?”

“No not really just designing something for Bella to wear this weekend. She's performing at Smooth.”

“Angela just broke off the engagement.”

“WAIT! WHAT???!!!!” Alice screamed in my ear. I had to hold it out a bit to hear her normally.

“She told me she knew why we never got close. Because I was still in love with someone else.”

“That someone else being Bella right?”

“Yeah, only she's not mad at me though. She wants us all to remain friends.”
