“Bella! Bella how could you do this to me?”

I looked up into Edward’s liquid amber eyes and sighed. Poor Edward. How could I tell him how I was feeling? How could I possibly describe this cloudy, gnawing sensation that had been growing inside of me, wrapping itself around my heart?

“Edward I’m just not into you anymore.”

Oh. It was actually pretty easy, I guess.

“Is there someone else?” Edward moaned, his perfect face cracking into a heart wrenching visage of despair.

“Yes,” I replied, “there is.”

“Is it…” he trailed off. I’m sure he was wishing I wasn’t immune to his mind reading ability. “Is it Jacob?”

Jacob? My Jacob? I smiled at the thought of his smiling face, grinning my grin. I thought of the days and nights I spent on the reservation. I thought of his embrace, fever-hot against my skin. I thought of how silly Edward was.

“Oh Edward, you know I’m just stringing him along for, like, ever.”

“Who then?”

Did I dare tell him? There was no point in keeping it a secret. Forks was a small town, there was no chance Edward wouldn’t find out. He could read minds and his sister could see the future, for crying out loud.

But what would Edward do? Would he attack my love? Take revenge? I couldn’t bear the thought. My boyfriend was everything to me. He was the one solid part of a world that seemed so vague and fluid. He was the sun, the air, the moon and stars to me. My heart did not beat without him near me. He was the methadone clinic for the heroin junkie of my soul. I had no identity without him. I was nothing. I didn’t exist. We were two sides to the same coin, only he was also my side and the coin itself, as well as any other nearby coins.

“Bella?”

“Oh! Sorry, I was metaphoring. It’s Mike. Mike Newton.”

“Mike Newton?! You don’t even like him!” Edward slammed his fist into the lockers next to me, bending them wildly out of shape. I turned my head.

“Well now I do.”

A snarl ripped itself out through Edward’s throat and he began to walk stiffly away.

“Unbelievable! God damn high school girls!”
