Chapter 9: Watch Me
BPOV
He just
stood there gaping at me like an idiot.
"Bella,
I'm not leaving here until you agree to drop this nonsense so we can get back
together."
"You
delusional son-of-a-bitch! Have you not listened to a word I have said? Let me
make myself crystal clear. I'm not going to get back together with you!" I
yelled.
"I
know you love me, so why, Bella?"
"Edward,
I hate to give you this news flash, but I don't love you. Maybe I did once, but
not anymore."
"I
don't believe you," he said, as he slammed his hand on my desk, causing me
to jump.
"Edward,
if you were honest with yourself, you would see that you don't love me either.
I don't think you ever did. I was just a possession to you," I snapped.
"I
loved you. I asked you to marry me, didn't I?"
"Yeah,
why did you ask me, Edward? Why? You certainly never stopped dating."
"Oh
hell, are you going to hold that over my head forever? I told you I never
cheated; I just slipped a few times."
"You
never cheated?" I screamed, as I picked up a book from my desk and threw
it at him, hitting him in the head.
"Christ
Bella, have you lost your mind? Now knock it off. Leave with me and I will take
you out to a nice dinner and we'll talk like civilized adults."
"I'm
going nowhere with you. Now get out! I'm done with you."
"You
are coming with me, even if I have to force you."
"'Fuck
you Edward Cullen and the horse you rode in on! Now, get the fuck out of my
office!" I yelled as I picked up a vase and it held over my head.
"You're
insane woman, I will go but this is far from over, Bella. I want you back, so
therefore, I will have you back," he yelled as he left my office and
slammed the door shut. I hurled the vase at the door and the sound of it
breaking echoed through the office.
I hated
that man. Why I ever married him I'll never know. I glanced over to see the
broken pieces of the vase all over the floor and it just made me madder. Who
does he think he is? He will never have me back; I wish he would get it through
his head that I don't want him.
I sat down
at my desk and let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. How did I ever
love him? I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and thought back to that
fateful day when I found out that Edward was cheating.
~Flashback~
I was
running an errand in town. It was a beautiful day and I was walking down the
main strip. I looked over and saw my husband on the other side of the street
with Tanya Denali. He had his arm wrapped around her; he leaned in and kissed
her. I began to shake. I walked across the street. I needed to get closer. It
couldn't be him; he wouldn't do that to me. As I approached them, my anger
outweighed my hurt and disbelief. I stopped a few feet in back of them.
"Edward."
He spun around.
"Bella?"
"What
the hell?" I asked.
"It's
not what you think, let me explain," he said as he pushed her away.
"It's
not what I think, you just kissed her, on the sidewalk, in broad daylight. How
the hell is that not what I think?" I yelled.
"Bella,
honey, let's not do this here. You're making a spectacle of yourself, people
are watching," he said as he approached me.
"Don't
you dare come near me, you son-of-a-bitch!" I yelled as I put my hand up
to stop him. "It's true; all the rumors of you cheating are true. I'm so
stupid."
"Bella,
really let me explain."
"There
is nothing to explain. It's over, I'm done," I said and then turned to
walk away.
"Don't
you dare walk away from me Bella," he yelled as he grabbed my arm.
"Let
go of me, Edward! I'm done, it's over, I want a divorce," I yelled.
"Calm
down, Bella. You will not walk away from me, and I will not give you a
divorce."
"Watch
me Edward, this is me walking away from you," I turned around and walked
away knowing my marriage was over.
~~end of
flashback~~
I just sat
at my desk feeling like a mac truck had run me over. Wondering how the hell my
life got so out of control.
Rose
POV
I was
heading to the main house when I saw the piece of shit walking toward his
Volvo.
"Hey
Rose," Edward yelled.
"Are
you addressing me?" I asked.
"Yes,
yes I am."
"Well,
lick it, put a stamp on it, and mail it to someone who gives a shit."
"Rose,
you are truly a piece of work. Would you know who this man was that Bella was
out with the other night?"
"Why?
And what's it to you?"
"Can't
you just tell me yes or no?"
"Yes,
and I'm not telling you anything. Bella deserves to be happy after being
married to your sorry ass."
"Bella
is still mine, as far as I'm concerned, and she should not be slutting around
town with some hick."
"You
truly are a son-of-bitch Edward. You cheated on her."
"Why
are you making such a big deal out of it. Everyone cheats Rose, I sure even
Emmett has a nice piece of ass on the side."
I saw red
and hauled off and punched him with everything I had in me. My fist connected
to his nose.
"Shit!
Rose you psycho!" he yelled as the blood poured from his nose.
"I
hope I broke it, you piece of shit," I spat as I walked away
Emmett
POV
This has
been a very trying day. Rose kneed Edward in the balls earlier and now I found
out she punched the ass and almost broke his nose. That's my Rose, she's a
firecracker. Edward should know better, especially after this morning not to
purposely ruffle her feathers, so in my book he had it coming. He's just lucky
I wasn't around; he would have left in a body cast.
I spent
some time with Jasper. He seems really nice and I hoped that it would work out
for him and Bella. I have my doubts at the moment, since there are two huge
problems and they are Edward and Charlie. I have no idea why Charlie wants
Bella to get back together with Edward so bad. He treated her like complete
crap and cheated on her every chance he had. I don't get my father, he cheated
on my mother and she left him, so he marries Sue, who he cheats on and she
looks the other way. Why would he want that for his daughter? I, for one, would
never cheat on Rose because I love her and she would kick my ass if I did.
I know
Charlie will give Bella a hard time about Jasper. He can't fire him because I
won't side with him. I'm just concerned that he will guilt Bella into
submission, and I have no idea how I'm going to handle Edward. He has done
enough damage to Bella. I need to warn Bella that Charlie knows it was Jasper
she was out with and that he has gone to talk to him. I walked into Bella's
office.
"Hey,
Bells. I know it's been a long day, but I have news."
"Really,
lay it on me," she responded.
"Well,
Rose punched Edward and nearly broke his nose because he said that I should
have a piece of ass on the side."
"Has
he completely lost his mind? Good, I'm glad she punched him. My god, I wish I
would have punched him."
"Bells,
I have other bad news, Charlie knows it was Jasper you were out with, and last
I checked he was on his way to talk to him."
"No!
Goddamn it, no!" she cried.
"I
just wanted to warn you. I'll see you later. I want to check and make sure Rose
hasn't killed anyone."
"Thanks
for warning me Emmett."
"Anytime,
sis," I said, looking at her. She looked so defeated. "Everything
will work out."
She gave
me a half smile and I made my way to the main house to find Rose.
BPOV
I'm so
happy Emmett came to warn me. My father is a complete ass. No good could come
of my father going to talk to Jasper. My life is spiraling out of control so
fast, I can't seem to catch my breath. I was happy, really happy. Then Edward
came here and we had that fight. Then Rose kneed him in the balls and then
almost broke his nose. What the hell is going on? Edward has once again managed
to ruin my life. I stood up and all the rage I had bottled up took over me and
in one quick swoop of my arms I sent everything flying off my desk. I fell to
the floor and cried.
"Bella."
I slowly lifted
my head and our eyes met. I have never seen such anger in his eyes before.
