Bella's POV
-
Edward was back. He was back for a week now. And for a week he's been avoiding . I know it shouldn't be affecting as I have already decided to be with Atlas, to be his but I can't help feel disappointed whenever he passes without even acknowledging my existence.
I know it's the mate bond that's doing all that but I can't help it that's why I decided to confront him for one last final ti.
I saw him standing by his car across the lot at Forks High. The Volvo glead like always immaculate, untouchable just like him. This ti, he didn't even look at - again. Not once.
I stood by my own car, fists clenched at my sides. The rain hit the asphalt in gentle patters, but in my chest, a storm was building. It had been days weeks since he'd said a word to .
He'd vanished after Atlas ca to Forks. No goodbye. No explanation. No closure. I know he doesn't owe anything as we aren't anything official.
But I truly thought of giving him a chance. A genuine one. But ti and ti he has disappointed .
At first, I'd told myself he was scared. Conflicted and overwheld like . Unlike has no one to talked through.
But that excuse wore thin.
Now, watching him laugh with Emtt like nothing ever happened, sothing inside cracked.
I walked up to him, each step louder in my ears than the last. He turned at the sound of my approach, those golden eyes unreadable and… cold.
"Edward," I said, voice tight.
He blinked. "Bella."
Just that.
My na taken as if I were a stranger. A classmate he hadn't spoken to in years.
"You're just going to pretend nothing happened?" I asked. "That there was no bond between us?"
My tone was accusing and that was hypocritical of but when he flinched slightly, I couldn't help but feel twisted a dark sense of satisfaction
"It's… better this way." He said.
"For who? You?"
"For you."
I laughed, sharp, bitter. "Right. Because avoiding , treating like I don't exist, is sohow protecting ?"
"You don't understand what you're asking for," he said, voice quiet, a whisper of martyrdom like always. "You don't know what it ans to be bonded to soone like ."
My hands curled into fists. "You think I haven't felt it? That pull between us? You think I didn't lose sleep over it, didn't wonder if maybe- maybe you actually cared?"
His face remained impassive. He said nothing. I think he ant sothing different to what I shouted like he thinks he's cursed or sothing but the rage in made avoid all that.
My voice lowered to a growl. "But then Atlas ca back, and suddenly everything made sense. How it's supposed to feel. You're not supposed to feel cold in your mate's presence, Edward. You're supposed to feel whole like mom and others feel in his."
Sothing flickered in his expression. Jealousy? Regret? I didn't care.
He murmured, "You have a bond with him?"
My breath caught, then released in a low, trembling laugh. "No, Edward but you know what soon I will. It's better to have it with soone who cares than with soone who's pretending I don't even exist. Just because he's too much of a coward to deal with it."
"But its unnatural!" He growled making take a step back.
He probably saw my reaction and tried to apologise but a I cut him off before he could.
"What's unnatural is how easy it was for you to throw away." I saw hurt flashed in his cold face and that made feel good.
"I… I was trying to give you a chance at a normal life." He said with a pained look that made feel more pleasure than guilt. The weeks long anger being stroked.
"A normal life?" I repeated, my voice venomous intending to drive the dagger further in his unbeating heart. "I live with two vampires. My mother is one. I know about the Volturi, the supernatural, the rules. I'm past 'normal' and I'm not ashad of it. You didn't push away for you did it for yourself. Because deep down, you didn't want ."
He said nothing.
But I wasn't done, I delivered one last final blow.
"You know what Atlas will soon transfer the mate bond to him, taking as his woman. He will love and fuck like a real man like he does to your sister. I'm sure you know how you prying stalking cuck!!!"
I breathed roughly after shouting all that in one breath, I know many heard in the parking as it was not empty but I did not care. I just enjoyed Edward's hurt face. I know what I said was not true as Atlas has place a Psychic shield around Rosalie and Alice similar to my own.
I turned from him without another word and walked straight to my car, my heart hamring and breath shaky from my crash out.
I hoped on to my car and drove out from the lot, ignoring the look I was receiving. By the ti I reached ho, I was done.
Done with Edward and his punished demon crap.
And soon Atlas will transferred the bond and I will stop feeling whatever sadness I feel towards him.
