He had no time to regret to irreversible damage he did to his and your relationship. You had you keep your head held high and had to get on without your lover. He went back to what he knew, Bella, the human that was before you. He was removed from all that you went through.

You had only verbally said goodbye with words but the relationship was long gone. You keeled a hundred time during the relationship. The constant distance and arguments that came with it. He went back to her and you went back to what you and Edward had.

You walk through the gala that the Cullen’s had hosted, holding a glass of champagne while keeping your eyes on the small twirl in your drink as you swirled it around. You don’t know why you even attended. You had the option to say no, yet you opted to go.

“Didn’t think you would attend. Why are you here?” Edward walks up to you, hands snug in his blazer pockets.
