Possessed and Possessive (Completed)

Chapter 16: Friends

Ed's POV

As I walked towards my locker by the end of the day I felt fairly satisfied by today. My campaigning was going great and I knew I'll win easily. Perks of being popular, eh? The day went well also because I didn't run into El today. Though this should have been a bad thing but I was glad because I didn't trust myslef around her. I mean I could be a douche to her and ruin everything. So not seeing her today was great. And well anytime that I missed her (which was almost all the time) I would just take out my phone and look at her picture with Hayley and it would make my day.

I was lost in thoughts when I heard Alice call out to me:

"Hey there the-jerk-my-friend-loves"

"Hey back the-love-of-my-life's-irritating-friend" I retorted.

Alice laughed and said " I like you. Anyway, lets get to work coz I don't wanna be caught being seen with you."

"Yeah sure"

"Okay so first things first. You have to go and ask Beth and Damian to forgive you. In fact, you should apologize to Damian first and then Beth."

"I am so not fucking doing that!" I replied while getting angry. I mean wth? I'm not begging for forgiveness!

"Do you want Beth back in your life or not, Edward? Do you want her to love you truly or not?" Alice asked flushing with anger.

"I do but why I should I apologize?" I asked in reply.

"Because you have to. Look you and Beth broke up because of what you did to Damian. That was the last straw for her. So when you ask him to forgive you Beth will realize you're changing. And then when you apologize to her, she'll know that you are definitely changing. But you need to be sure about one thing, Edward."

"And what is that?"

"Do you really want to seek their forgiveness? I mean do you really think that you did wrong to both of them? Do you believe that you were wrong to beat up Damian? And do you think you were wrong when you had put up all those restrictions on Beth? If you think you were wrong in both the situation then apologize to them. Otherwise, don't. Wait till you realize that you were at fault. Don't do it to get Beth back becuase if you don't believe in the fact behind your apologizing then you'd just be screwing up things between you and her. Nothing else. You'll just destroy that which is left. So do this when you feel its the right time. Its okay if you take time Edward, its okay because rushing things just messes them up."

I looked down at Alice and I asked myself, do I really want to be forgived? Was I the one at fault? I just got confused and I didn't know what to do. Alice sensed my confusion and instantly spoke up:

"Its okay Edward you're bound to be confused. Uptil now, know no one came up to you and said you were wrong so of course you didn't realize it. But today I am telling you that you were the one who went wrong. Damian doesn't love Beth but me."

I looked down at her shocked.

"You knew?"

"Always."

"Then why didn't you I mean reciprocate his feelings?"

"Because I was in love with James. And even before that I had thought about it and even thought of trying it out with him but I just didn't feel like doing it. I know Damian is a great guy and any girl who gets to be with him would be damn lucky but I don't think I am the one. Anyway, just forget this. What I was saying was that Damian wasn't wrong ad so wasn't Beth. Look, I can't tell you Beth's childhood issues because its not my story to tell but what I can tell you is that Beth doesn't has ever felt belonged to anyone. Noone has cared about her excpet Rhonda and then you happened and she was getting used to having someone else when suddenly you went all gaga on her and that was suffocating for her. It would've been for anyone. But since she loved you she kept up with it but when you'd beaten up Damian she broke. Not because you'd hurt Damian but because you showed you didn't trust her."
