Beautiful Nightmare

{THIRTY}

EDWARD CULLEN
As I was walking out of the bathroom and away from Aurora when suddenly I felt her breaking down. And as I was about to leave I heard her thoughts slowly becoming available for me. Everything just broke down like a sledgehammer hitting the brick walls she chose to build...and this time...they didn't fall because of stress...it was because she chose to. Not wanting to hear it anymore I just wanted to let her go so I kept walking but what I heard stopped me.

"Edward. Listen to me" she thought and I just stopped there. Standing there. I didn't want to turn around and I didn't want to talk so I stood there and listened. That's when I heard her take a deep breath as it all just...poured out.

"I love you. There's no doubt that I don't. There's so doubt I never did. I love you and I can't stop that. No matter how much I should I can't. I can't because I can't stay away from you. Everything about you is like...a drug. I need you more than I think...more than you think but...I can't"

I finally turned around to see her face tear stained as I let out a sigh. "Why can't you. If you say you love me so much then why be with him" I spoke in a soft tone. I didn't want to yell anymore. I didn't want to fight. I gave up and accepted the fact she doesn't love me yet, she keeps insisting that she does...

"Edward," she thought in a soft voice as if she were speaking it. I sighed as I shut the door and leaned against it. Waiting for what she was about to say but I noticed she was trying to think of words to say. Well, to think I guess.

"Edward, I do love you. I do. I just can't" she thought again as I completely snapped. I'm tired of hearing it. I'm tired of her telling me how much she loves me but can't be with me. It was Infuriating. Not the fact I couldn't have her but the fact she was lying. If she claimed she loved me so much why is she still with Evan.

"Edward. Calm down" she finally spoke but in a soft tone and I just flipped as I punched the wall in anger making a hole in it. She looked at me and then the hole as her thoughts started closing up again. She was building her walls back up. It was frustrating and I hated it. I hated her. I hated this. I hated me...

"Edward" she whispered in a scared tone as I looked at her in anger.

"Edward" she repeated again and I just broke. I broke.

"IF YOU LOVE ME THEN WHY ARE YOU WITH HIM! WHY ARE YOU WITH THE MAN WHO HURTS YOU! WHY DO YOU GO THROUGH EVEN MORE HELL WHEN I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THE WHOLE TIME! I'VE BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME AURORA! I LOVE YOU AND YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME BACK BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! HOW CAN I TELL YOU LOVE ME WHEN YOU CONSTANTLY RUN BACK TO EVAN?!" I yelled at her.

"I CAN'T BE WITH YOU BECAUSE EVAN WON'T LET ME!" she yelled back at me as she started getting close to me but I didn't care. I was mad.

"SINCE WHEN DID HE EVER GET TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE!" I screamed and she didn't answer. She was just...silent.

I scoffed and turned away opening the door getting ready to walk out but before I did I needed to tell her...everything.

"I spent 100 and some years wondering if I was ever going to be happy. If I would be as happy as Alice is with Jasper or as happy as Rosalie is with Emmett and you know, I was happy with Bella for a while but the short amount of time I got with you was so much better than the seven years with Bella. I love you but you don't feel the same. I understand that but you do deserve better. You need to leave him and find someone to live your life with." I spoke softly as I turned to look at her one more time.

"At least do that. For me" I spoke with a sad smile as I turned for the door as I heard her whisper something that I couldn't hear. I ignored it and just kept walking but she repeated it again a little louder but still couldn't make it out. I just wanted to ignore her and move on but yet, I couldn't.

"Edward! Wait!" she suddenly yelled as I stopped and just...stood there.

"What?" I spoke gently as she sighed.

"I love you too. Believe me. I want to be with you but I can't. Believe that. Believe me. Please. Don't go. Stay. Please" she begged as I just shook my head softly.

"Why can't you be with me? Why?" I spoke in a somewhat harsh tone as I felt her flinch.

"I just...can't" she whispered as I sucked in a sharp breath.

"Aurora. I'm leaving" I spoke plainly and as I was about to leave she yelled something that stopped me dead in my tracks.

"I CAN'T BE WITH YOU BECAUSE EVAN THREATENED MY BROTHER! IF I'M WITH YOU HE'LL KILL HIM!" she screamed and instantly I turned around to see tears streaming down her face. My fists clenched as I felt a wave of anger wash over me. I swear to God, I'm going to fucking kill him.

But then, the next thing I knew, the door opened and what I saw only angered me more...

"Dad"
