                                                     CHAPTER 4 – RULES & REJECTION

                                     EPOV (Edward’s Point of View) {from Friday night to Sunday}

I lay in my bed thinking about what happened tonight…

“I love you,” I whispered in her ear, making her eyes widen and a huge grin appear on Bella’s face.

I leaned in for a kiss, but got a surprise when she deepened it. I pulled back, in awe, and gazed into her eyes. Instantly, I felt guilty about what I had to do. I had to break up with her.

I am Edward Cullen and I am a player. It’s not like I want to be, I just am. Having good looks doesn’t help with that situation. On my first day of high school, girls practically gawked over me. For some reason, I liked it. I liked the attention, the girls lining up to date me, the attempts of being flirtatious towards me, everything.

This also made me popular with the guys. They looked at me like a God or something, the God of Women.

At first, everything was sort of awkward, but soon I got better at dating. My rules helped me/

The major ones were:

1)      Only date a girl for five days

2)      Don’t let the relationship go to far

3)      Don’t get involved in a serious relationship

I loved these rules because they kept me in perspective and didn’t make me fall ’hard for a girl that would only break my heart. That’s another thing, I can’t face rejection. It’s the only reason I had most of these rules, so I don’t get rejected. I guess another reason could be because they help me keep up with my popularity status.

Anyway, I had to break-up with Bella Swan because I was starting to like her. I was starting to fall for her. And that can’t happen, especially if you’re a player. I’ve already dated her for 14 days, not that I’ve been counting. I broke one of my rules for her.

Some of the guys even started to complain about it. I guess they really wanted to go out with Bella. How could you not? She’s hot when she’s wearing the right clothes. She’s beautiful no matter what she’s wearing but she’s more attracting to jerks like Mike Newton when she wears those clothes. Idiots like him fail to see how gorgeous she is all the time.

Back to reality, I had to break-up with this unbelievably cute, smart, funny girl.

“Edward, what’s wrong?” she asked confused.

“I can’t do this anymore,” I said, trying to act like what I was saying didn’t sting me.

More confusion wept through her face as she asked, “Do what anymore?”

“Go out with you,” I replied flatly.

Pain painted itself on her face, “Huh?” she asked, which was followed by, “But why?”

There was the question I knew the answer to better than anyone else. But she would think I was crazy if I told her all that stuff.

Instead, I said four little simple words that made her sob uncontrollably, “I met someone else.”

Looking at her pain made me flinch. I was a heartbreaker. How could I ever cope with myself after what I did to her?

“Get in control Edward,” that internal voice from my head directed, “You are a player and this is what you do. She should have known that you were bound to dump her soon.”

“Yes, but you really like her Edward! Why the hell are you letting her go!? Because of rejection? Look into her warm brown eyes Edward! She would never break your heart. Well, unlike you, that just broke hers!” My heart yelled at me.

What should I do? Should I tell her we should get back together? No, Edward, no. You don’t need rejection in your life, just let her go!

On Saturday morning, Tanya called.

“Hey Eddie!” Ugh, I hated that nickname, “Wanna hang out with me on Saturday?”

I was about say I’m dating Bella, but then I remembered that I broke up with her. The painful memories came back in my head and I cringed. I wonder how Bella’s doing. Her stunning face popped into my head. I saw her wavy brown hair, her pale skin, and those warm chocolaty eyes. The picture almost made me shed a tear.

“No Edward, you dumped her remember!?” that voice from my head called.

I got reeled back into reality by Tanya’s voice.

“Eddie? Sweetie, are ya still there?”

“Sorry Tanya, I got lost in thought,” I responded dryly.

“Oh, you were thinking about our memories? That’s so cute Eddie!” she said, flattered.

            I sighed, “Mmm-hmm.”

            “Kay, so I’ll see you at the mall tomorrow, Eddie. Meet me by the fountain!” she squealed and hung up.

On Sunday, I woke up after having a very inappropriate dream about Bella.

“Stop thinking about her, you moron!” shouted the annoying internal voice.

            “I freaking can’t!” I shouted to the voice. Ugh! Well, at least Tanya would distract me from her today.

            I took a shower, got dressed and drove to the mall in my silver Volvo. I walked to the fountain and there was Tanya wearing a way to revealing blouse and ripped jeans.

            “Hey Eddie,” she greeted me while leading me towards a bench.

            “Tanya,” I replied nodding my head.

            After we sat down, she grabbed me head and pushed it near hers. Then she crushed her lips to mine. WTF? Well, I guess I should’ve known Tanya invited me here to make out with her. I really didn’t mind, she was even a good kisser. But not as good as Bella. Bella was a wonderful kisser. Oh, how I wished she was here instead of Tan-

            “Stop thinking about her Edward!” I scolded myself. I started to kiss Tanya, and we sat on that bench for what seemed like hours.

            I heard footsteps coming near us, so I stopped kissing Tanya and looked up. I saw Bella, with her best friends Rosalie and Alice. Bella’s cheeks were wet with tears. She probably saw me making out with Tanya. I am such a jerk! How could I do this to her!?

            Before she could cry anymore, Alice and Rose led her away. I got up from my bench and started to chase after them when Alice stopped me.

            “Edward, you’ve done enough, don’t you think!? Go away and get back to that tramp of a girlfriend!” Wow. Alice had never yelled at me like this. After all, I was her brother so I should know.

            I just stood there, to stupid to do anything else. At that moment, I knew I liked Bella Swan and there was no way to get that feeling out of me. I had to make it up to her; I had to make her like me back.
