Bella's POV

It's been two and a half weeks since Amelia left. Three days since I last talked to Amelia about the boyfriend problem. I've been thinking over everything since I first came back to Forks this year. Amelia was right. I barely spend any time with Angela, Jessica, Jacob, Mike, Eric, or Tyler anymore ever since I met Edward. I've always been with Edward. He controls my life and I'm just now realizing it. How am I just realizing it? Maybe I should talk to Maddox? I just started realizing everything when I first met Maddox, maybe he knows. What Amelia said, that he's always been controlling. Amelia always hated controlling relationships, that they always ended badly. They're toxic.

As I lay on my bed thinking over everything Amelia said, I suddenly sat up with one thought on my mind. I needed to see Maddox. I slipped my shoes on and grabbed my jacket, slipping it on as I made my way downstairs. I grabbed my keys and jumped in my truck and started driving to the motel that Maddox was staying at.

Once I parked in front of the motel, I got out of my truck and walked to Maddox's motel room and knocked. Maddox opened the door, inviting me in.

" Bella? What are you doing here? " Maddox asked as he closed the door behind me.

" I need answers and I believe you have them? " I answered as I sat down at the table in the small kitchen.

" Depends on your questions? Tea, " he asked turning towards me, next to him was a tea kettle full of hot water.

" Please. " I answered as he grabbed two mugs and filled herbs in them. He then poured the hot water from the tea kettle in the mugs and handed me one and sat across from me at the table. 'What kind of herbs are these?' I thought to myself.

" They're calming herbs. " Maddox answered my silent question, then added, "What are your questions? " Maddox asked me calmly.

" I've been realizing something that I haven't realized before. " I said hesitantly, " Edward. He's been acting differently. Controlling. I've talked to Amelia a few days ago and told her all about it but she says that he's always been controlling. How am I just now realizing? " Maddox looked at me and sighed.

" The reason you are realizing this is because of the ring I gave you. The crystal that creates a shield of protection around you, protects you from every supernatural being. Edward is a cold-one. He was using his influence to control you so later he could turn you. Edward probably controls you because he doesn't think you can protect yourself, that you are made of glass. " Maddox explained to me.

" It's not only that. He doesn't trust me. I see the way Klaus looks at Amelia. He trusts her and lets her protect herself and steps in when needed and Edward's creepy. He always comes in through the window at night and watches me when I sleep. I told him to stop that immediately but he doesn't listen. Something else happened. I don't feel the same, I don't feel the love I had for him when we were together. I don't know what to do. " I confided in him. Maddox sighed again.

" You probably don't feel love for him anymore because of the control he had over you. Now that a shield is over you he can't control you unless you let him. I'll place a protective spell on your house so that Edward can't get in. But you need to do the rest. If you truly feel this way then you need to end it with Edward. " Maddox told me. 'Do I really want to do this? But if I don't I'll just be leading him on and he won't let me go. I need to do this or I'll be trapped forever.' I thought to myself. I nodded.

" I need to do this. Thank you, Maddox. You are a great friend. " I told him, giving him a friendly smile. He returned one. We then talked over how he would be putting a protective spell on my house and how everything else had been.

When we got back to my house, I led him to my room so he could do part one of the protection spell, which would make sure no intruders could come into my room. When I opened the door to my room Edward was there. I was shocked. He looked like he was too at the sight of Maddox behind me. He stood up and tried to attack Maddox, but Maddox protected himself by giving Edward an aneurysm. Edward threw his hands to his head and fell to the floor in pain. Maddox then stopped the attack.

" Edward, what are you doing here? I don't want you here. " I told him. Edward gave me a disbelieving look.

" You love me, Bella. " Edward said slowly standing up. He then sneered, " He is confusing you, trying to break us apart. Don't let him. "

" Your wrong. Maddox has saved me from your conniving, controlling self. Recently I haven't been feeling the love I once had for you. Ever since I started dating you I haven't spent any time with my friends. Our relationship is unhealthy and I need to break away from it. If I don't, there will be no love involved in it. That isn't fair for either of us and if you really love me then you'll let go of me. " I told Edward. I saw a little bit of him break, he looked as though he didn't want to believe it.

" Bella- " Edward started only to be cut off.

" No. I tried doing this the easy way. If you don't leave, I will have Maddox force you to leave. " I told him. After a moment of silence, Edward left threw the window and ran into the woods. I then turned towards Maddox and said, " Okay, let's do this. " Maddox nodded and started the spell and then proceeded onto part two of the spell, which would shield the entire house.

" The spell's completed. Edward and other cold-ones won't be able to enter your house. If Edward tries to harm you anyway let me know. It's not only my job to protect you, but you're also my friend. I protect my friends. " Maddox told me. I smiled and hugged him.

" Thank you for everything. " I said as I continued hugging him. As we separated from our hug I asked, " Would you like to stay for dinner? "

" Sure, I'd love to. " Maddox agreed. We then went downstairs and started cooking together at Maddox's insistence.
