I looked between them as they stared each other down. Neither of them spoke and I got annoyed with being ignored. "Tell me what? What the fuck are you talking about Jacob?"
"You didn't fucking tell her?" Jacob growled, his face contorted in anger.
Edward looked the same but much worse. His eyes were tempestuous, murderous even. Something bad was unfolding in front of my eyes and I didn't have a clue on how to stop it from happening. Whatever it was, it wasn't going to be pretty. I got in between them before anything escalated further. "What the fuck is going on? Somebody say something before I lose my shit." Edward took his eyes off of Jacob and focused on me. I saw the fear emboldened in them and I knew something was definitely wrong. "Edward what is Jacob talking about? Tell me what's happening," I pleaded. Edward opened up his mouth to speak but the words that came out weren't his own.
"He has a fiancée, Tanya Denali. They got engaged over a month ago. I'm sorry Bella."
My eyes widened as everything clicked into place. The anger from Jacob and the fear in Edward's eyes. It all made since. I felt like I was going to be sick. "Is it true?" The look on his face told me everything I needed to know. My heart shattered and the coldness I felt was replaced with red hot fury.
"Bella let me expla-" was all I heard before the resounding noise of a slap replaced his words. I lashed out so fast, I shocked us both but I felt numb. I slapped him so hard I left an imprint of the right side of his cheek and I felt the dull throb of pain in my palm.
"Fuck you!" I spat angrily, "Stay the fuck away from me!" He tried to reach for me but I screamed. "Don't fucking touch me! You are NEVER allowed to touch me EVER again!" I stormed off and thankfully he let me go. Jacob called after me but I kept going. I hailed a cab and got in. I was in a daze and vaguely remembered giving the cabbie my address. When I finally stepped out of the cab and walked into my apartment, the bough broke and out poured the tears. Pain lanced through my heart and it hurt so fucking bad--Edward's ultimate betrayal and the lies. I fell for him so hard and the heartbreak, my god, it was so much worse than the last and I wasn't sure if this time it could be repaired.
Over the next couple of weeks, I stayed with Alice and Jasper at their home. I couldn't stay at my place right now. Edward came to my house later on the night I found out the truth, banging like a madman on my door. He was drunk out of his mind, yelling at the top of his lungs, telling me how much he loved me and wanted to explain himself. I screamed and cried telling him to leave. Eventually, one of the neighbors threatened to call the cops and he finally got the message. When it was all over, I packed my bags and called Alice. She came to get me with no hesitation. I cried on her lap on her couch as she softly stroked my head and whispered soothingly that everything would be okay. I cried myself to sleep that night. And the day after that. And the day after that. Finally, I stopped crying all together. I couldn't shed a single tear. I just felt numb. Nothing, absolutely nothing. No pain, no sadness. Nothing. I turned off my phone and used Alice's to keep in contact with my family. They asked about him and I ignored them, changing the subject. I think they got the message because they left it alone.
