The Demon I Let Ruin Me

TWELVE

After I call Edward and tell him to meet at my apartment, I drive home and wait for him. I know I promised I wouldn't listen to Harry but it all makes sense now.
I remember meeting Harry at party and not even seeing Edward at all. Harry and I spoke and there, he warned me too. So of course if Harry is right about Edward and his little games then Edward would have used me thinking it was him at that party and not Harry to begin his little game.
I hope he has a good explanation for himself because if not then I'm going to be so broken hearted, I've given everything to Edward and loved him with his flaws. It breaks my heart to know he lied about making out with me at a party.

There's a knock on the door and it breaks my thoughts, I open my door and see Edward is there, he leans in to kiss me but I pull away. I need to get to point and I don't need him clouding my thoughts.

"What's wrong babe?" he asks and I try to ignore the fuzzy feeling that gives me.

"I talked to Harry today-" I begin but he interrupts me.

"I thought I told you not to talk to him anymore. I thought you agreed to leave him alone." he is already raising his voice and I roll my eyes.

"Oh that is so not the point Edward. Now listen to me." I order and he shuts up, I bet he isn't use to be standing my ground-with him it's so hard to but I need the truth now. "Was it or was it not, you that I kissed at that frat party a while back?" I ask, sucking in a breath. I need the truth and I need it now.

"Yes, of course." He nods and I sigh. He's lying. I can almost always tell.

"Don't lie to me Edward. I want the truth. I remember meeting Harry at that party and not seeing you at all. So, did you or didn't you make out with me?" I ask again and he sighs in defeat. I knew it.

"No, it wasn't me." he admits and even though I knew that it was the truth, it hurts to hear it out loud.

"Why did you say it was you then?" My voice raises. He looks around, probably trying to think of an excuse.

"Because...." he sighs, closing his eyes. "I liked you so much Mckayla and I needed to tell you how I felt. I guess when you said you kissed me it was my way opening to tell you how I felt. I wasn't trying to hurt you babe. I honestly didn't think it mattered...I'm sorry I lied." he explains and my heart melts. Of course I forgive him. Fuck.

"Okay...Harry said it was you manipulating me." I shrug which now I know is just another lie.

"Didn't you promise not to listen to him?" he asks and I nod. He's right, I did. "I'm glad that's cleared up." he smiles and I nod. Me too actually. I was so nervous that it was going to be worse. "Come here." he grabs my arm and pulls me on to his lap. He places his hand on the back of my head and pushes my head so our lips meet and when they do, we kiss, for a long time. His hand wraps around my back and he pushes me closer to him. His hands go through my hair and I feel like my head is dancing. I love him, so fucking much.

At work, Alex and I are talking about how she met some guy when she went out the night before and she tells me how she misses going out with me.

"After you and Edward starting dating you completely ditched me." she whines and I laugh.

"Well look at him, can you blame me?" I tease, turning to look at Edward, his hand at his mouth, his lips pursed as he reads a book. He looks up at me and winks with a smirk and I gush. I sets the book down and walks over to us.

"What are you ladies talking about?" he asks, putting his hands on either side of me and leaning in.

"How hot my boyfriend is." I tell him and he smiles, he leans in closer and presses his lips to mine.

"Ugh, you two are disgusting." Alex groans and turns away. I laugh as Edward pulls away and smirks once more.

"Love." he gets my attention and I turn to him. "I'll be out for a while after work but I'll meet you at your place tonight, okay?" he explains and I nod my head.

"Guess that means you're free?" Alex buts in and I turn to face her.

"I guess it does." I chuckle and the two of us begin our after work dinner date.

Harry

As I sit in my room, finishing my assignments, I hear footsteps get closer to my room and then the door swing open, to reveal Edward looking mad. What is it now?

"I thought I told you to stop telling Mckayla about me. We had a deal, you wouldn't tell Mckayla about it being you at that party and I wouldn't smash your head into the wall. Now I'm going to kill you." he raises his voice and gabs my shirt.

"Mckayla is a good girl and you don't deserve her." I tell him and he rolls his eyes.

"You tell me that every fucking day but it's not true." he lets go of my shirt and sits down like he needs to tell me something serious but I don't want to hear it.

"Listen man, I know I fucked up a lot before but Mckayla is so different from the other girls. I do love her. She believes me, why can't you?" his voice still has an angry tone to it but his voice is some how softer. Where the fuck did that come from though? He has never come to me about something like this but I won't give in, it's his way of manipulating me so I'll stop talking to Mckayla about him. "I know, you don't believe me but its true. I've changed, she makes me want to be different." he runs a hand through his hair and I roll my eyes.

"I don't believe you and I don't think I ever will. But good try." I turn back around but he grabs my hair and turns back.

"Just back off." he snaps and leaves the room. I know he's lying, I've been around him for 22 years, I'm not stupid, he's said that before about girls. Grant it, he's never tried to have a heart to heart with me but he's older, he probably needs to get new tactics.

Later that night, I hear Edward out on the balcony on his phone and I listen in.

"It's over when I say it is." he says to the person on the other line.

"No, I don't love her." I pull my phone out and record what he is saying, perfect proof for Mckayla, maybe this whole charade can end now.

"I wish my damn brother would stay out of, it would be so much easier...I'm gunna break it off. Don't worry. I have her eating out of the palm of my hand." I watch as he grins and then turns to me and his eyes narrow. "I need to call you back." I click my phone and begin running to my car. I'm taking this to her, right now. She needs to hear it.

"Harry!" Edward calls but I ignore him as I jump into my car.
