Brooke was driving back from Seattle after her shopping trip. She had spenttgd majority of herfree time shopping since Edward had left. And since the time she would have usually spent attracting countless men to her was no longer being used she had a lot of free time. Dozens of bags were in her backseat, all from major stores, all filled with designer clothes. She played with her ring slowly as she drove, she was used to it by now but it was still weird. The ring was the only physical thing left from their time in the cabin, that and the memories that often replayed in her head when she was alone. She had missed Edward terribly since he had left and even though the talked often she never felt like it was enough. She would give almost anything to just be in his arms for even a moment.
Her car began to slow to a normal speed as she passed the 'Welcome to Forks' sign. She came to the middle of town and was halted at the a red light, the longest red light in town. She brought pulled a mirror out of her purse and pulled up her sunglasses, checking the color of her eyes and the darkness of her bruises. The brilliant golden color was there, and her bruised only looked like she had lost a few hours of sleep at best. Lowering her sun glasses once more she threw the mirror back in her bag she looked at the red light. "For christ sake... Why does such a small town need such a long light? There is no one on road but me..." she said as she slipped we ring off her finger and turned it over in her hand before placing in back on her finger.
She picked up her cell phone, she had replaced it the day Edward left. She scrolled down her contacts until his name was on her screen. She almost pressed call but she couldn't bring herself to do it for some reason and she tossed the phone back on to her seat. "Hurry up stupid light..." Brooke muttered as she waited.

It was in the late after noon. But the sun was still up but only for a few more hours. Edward didn't show up at school today either, he was too consumed with anger that he had Jasper call in sick for him...Which was a big fat lie! But at this point Edward cared less! He really cared less. And he could not let Bella know what he was doing or the members of the Volturi , nor the Cullens. He presses his fingers on the steering wheel of his car so tight his knuckles were whiter!
To bad for the car at the stop light...Edward didn't even give them in to consideration as he zooms right past the car. Angy and getting behind the wheel...Not good. What happened to him to even make him this angry? Was what Aro told him when he was summoned to that little meeting...Aro told him enough to be angry with Jacob for. And that little bit of a fight they had, was enough to make Edward want to go after Jacob and end this!
It was not for hatred towards Bella either. It was plainly because he wanted to kill that wolf so hard and get him out of Bella's life for good! Nothing or no one would even be able to change his mind. He couldn't even tell Brooke this. Because more than any one else would be there for him....It would be Brooke. He almost called her again. But he didn't want her to stop him this time.
This was indeed a stupid idea! He was going to the Black house all alone and force Jacob Black out! But there was the chance of the other wolves being there. Edward didn't care! He wanted to raffle! He wanted to taste that fur balls blood in his mouth more than any one else's right now! He kept his eyes on the road....And zoomed out what was the Fork's City Limits....And headed for the woodsy areas.....It wouldn't take Edward long to sniff that mutt out.....All the while he was driving all he could see in his mind was Jacob's hands all over Bella....And her enjoying it....It looked so real in his mind that he could hear her cried out moans! It was sicking! He was no longer in love with Bella but he had a hatred for the one that took her away from him! And he wanted Jacob Black dead!

Just as the light was about to turn green Brooke saw an all too familiar car zoom past her at a startling speed. She knew who it was the second she saw it and the facthe drive by like that had her worried. She was immediately driving on his tail, driving almost a few inches from his rear fender. 'Edward... What are you doing?' she thought, knowing he could hear her thoughts. Her eyes were in his back windshield, she could see his rearview mirror and the second he looked into he would meet her eyes, her sunglasses were lost somewhere in the depths of her car.
Her red sports car zoomed after his silver Volvo, 'How far am I going to have to follow you before I have to make you stop and possibly ruin our cars in the process?" she thought again. The sad part about that was is she was entirely serious as she pulled her car beside his, luckily there was no traffic in the road. She looked out her passenger side window to look at him, he seemed pissed.

All eyes on the road...There was a car behind his all of a sudden. And a very familiar voice enters his mind.... 'Edward... What are you doing?' He at once looked in his rear view mirror and her eyes hit his...Was she silly asking him that? It was not like he could yell out the answer to her....But she knew that. And he just looked back at the road....
The two cars hit a country road...Edward looked over at her as the cars were side by side now on the little road.... 'How far am I going to have to follow you before I have to make you stop and possibly ruin our cars in the process?' He glanced at her with the evil eyes! His eyes were dark red....He wanted blood. She would see that. But she did not know what blood he wanted...."Back off! This doesn't concern you!" He yelled as his window was already rolled down....
And sped up more a head of her....Trying to stay far from her...He hated hearing other people talking directly into his mind! Even if it was his fiance using his power to speak...He hated his gift...It was on his last nerve....That that he had yelled at her....In his right mind he would not mean to be so mean to her! And she wold know that....but he was consumed with anger that it was flooding over his emotions....

There were three things in this world that Brooke hated. Her stepmother sixty four years ago, losing, but most importantly being yelled at, which was caused by her stepmother. Edward yelled at her and zoomed ahead "You'll wish you never did that." she muttered angrily before she put her foot on to the gas and zoomed in front of the Volvo. She was pissed beyond belief now, and there was no going back. She watched him in her rearview for a moment, her eyes were practically on fire at this point. She figured out their course and figured out why Edward was racing towards it and that only drove her crazier.
Just a few feet in front of Edward she turned her car, leaving it blocking the road entirely. "Try me... I dare you..." she challenged. The fierceness she had in her eyes was unparalleled. She had been yelled at by the man she loved and it hurt.
Edward may have changed a lot of things about her but there was always one thing that would always remain the same. When she was messed with Brooke was a bitch, and not just verbal one either. She would go out of her way to make you pay for pissing her off. She didn't care why Edward was doing this but now that he had pissed her off it didn't matter.

Was she really going to do what he thought she was going to do?! She was indeed a crazy person if that's was what was on her mind! He shook his head for her to not do it....But by this time he was in front of her again...
And this was going to end the way HE chose not! However she was the one making a mistake by trying to stop him. He didn't even care how pissed she was at this point! If this is what she wants then so be it! They were just cars! They would be replaced! But some thing inside him was telling him not to....
This next move she then made shocked him even more beyond...Was she that crazy?! Yeah she was! When he saw her move he had only seconds to decide rather or not to dive right into her passenger side! He knew if he did that. She would be beyond pissed than she already was! And he couldn't make things worse by child's play...And just like that he stopped the car...INCHES away from hers! Just barely touching! Yeah Edward was a good driver....He just sat there in his own car for a moment...As he breathed uneasily...With his hands still on the wheel....

Brooke watched as her car was nearly hit, it would be Edward's death if he damaged her car. "Lucky bastard." She let out an in angry hiss when he stopped just in time. However, she was still pissed, she stared back forward and tried to calm herself down before getting out of the car. She couldn't seem to calm herself down enough though.
She was yelled at and it stung badly. 'You know the last time I was yelled at I was sixteen...' she thought, 'And I have a grudge against the woman ever since she started it too...' he had struck a major chord with her. 'I don't want to hate you Edward, but yell at me like that EVER again and things will be way worse then me halting my car in front of yours.' her thoughts were sad and angry at the same time.
She revved her engine back up and gave him a sad look, 'You make this hard for me...' she thought, 'But I've realized that I can't help you... You won't let me in and I can't handle this...." her car engine finally shut off and she sat back into her seat.

This was not going to end well. He already knew that. He just sat there in silence for a second until her voice came in his mind again.... 'You know the last time I was yelled at I was sixteen...' Edward just sighed and closed his eyes again. He had a good idea who had yelled at her....Parents should never do such things to a child....{If that was correct}......'And I have a grudge against the woman ever since she started it too...' Yeah he was right....
'I don't want to hate you Edward, but yell at me like that EVER again and things will be way worse then me halting my car in front of yours.' You make this hard for me...' 'But I've realized that I can't help you... You won't let me in and I can't handle this....'
He wanted to see her again, but not like this...He really didn't want her angry at him either for his foolish actions he put upon himself....But she was right. No one could help him wit this little situation he was in. He reversed his Volvo and pulled over to the side of the rode and put the flashers on....So on coming traffic would see him....Not that there would be any.....He got out of his car then....And started for the nearest woods....He knew she would follow....He knew she still loved him....He just walked into the woods....Not really going any where at this point. But with that one thing on his mind....And that was blocking his love for Brooke right now. He was really just lost in anger and pain....And if Brooke understood the kind of pain he was in....She would follow....And he knew she understood...Everything.....
"There's nothing else to live for...." That would shock her maybe....The thought of lighting a lighter in the fuel tank of his car came to mind...He was just so angry with the thought of Jacob being with Bella instead of him...Was more than he could even bare....But at least Edward was not alone now...The Cullens would be upset....But they would always know that Brooke was the only one that would be able to stop Edward from doing some thing stupid and insane.....

"There's nothing else to live for...." Edward said.
Not the right thing to say while Brooke was already upset. She pulled over to the side of the road, her feelings for him no longer mattered, nor the fact that they were engaged. Nothing about them mattered. Whether Edward had realized it or not it made Brooke lose her hope in their relationship. Before she talked herself into getting out of the car she slipped his ring off her finger and slipped it into the pocket of her tight jeans, she was going to give it back to him, it didn't belong to her.
"Good to know I am not worth it...." She muttered lowly before she got out of her car and following him into the woods.

A sigh escaped his lips as he heard her coming near him. He knew he just said the wrong thing. He was not in his right mind. But Brooke obviously thought he meant every thing he was saying to himself....He wasn't meaning her. He loved Brooke with all his life. But maybe he needs to consider her feelings as well...He turned around when she walked up to him....
"Good to know I am not worth it...."
"I..." He was lost for words right now. And as soon as he said that the rain started...Damn this place! Even the rain was bothering him. Which he usually loved. Pretty soon he was soaked as he bangs fell on his fore head...Even in rain he still looked good...Even Brooke still looked good...But that was the least of his thoughts right now. He was angry she would see the anger flaring in his eyes...."I'm..." He couldn't make a sentence come out of his mouth! He was so losing it....
It was plain to see that....However, Brooke had better not do any thing as bad as try and break up with him right now. He would not be able to handle that....Not now...He needed Brooke right now even if he showed on the outside he didn't need any one....He was so glad that Esme was not here.....She would be so sad at the way her son was acting....He then noticed....Brooke was not wearing his ring...."You're not...." He looked down at her hand....

Brooke closed her eyes when he said she wasn't worth it, it hurt more than she would admit. "If that is how you feel..." she muttered as she took the ring out of her pocket, "I can't do this anymore, I am fooling myself, trying to believe you want me as badly as I want you... And this ring belongs to the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with..." she bit her lips as she leaned against a tree. "Apparently it's not me..." she would be on the verge of tears if it was possible.
"I love you... I always will... And I will always be here for you..." It was getting harder and harder to get out, "Just not as your wife... because you don't want me like that..." she held the ring out to him and looked at him sadly, "Give it to the woman you truly love because you deserve that much..."

"If that is how you feel..." He then saw her pull his mothers ring out of her pocket...."I can't do this anymore, I am fooling myself, trying to believe you want me as badly as I want you... And this ring belongs to the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with..." "Apparently it's not me..."
The ring just fell in his hand. All he could do was stare at it. As rain splattered on it...He closed his hand to a palm...."Don't do this...."
"I love you... I always will... And I will always be here for you..." "Just not as your wife... because you don't want me like that..." "Give it to the woman you truly love because you deserve that much..."
Edward never looked at her....He was thinking deeply. And the answer was clear...As he looked up at her. And walked up to her slowly....And grabbed her hand in his....And opened her hand up and placed the ring in her hand....And closed it back tightly.....
"You....Are all I want...." Didn't she see this coming? She was it for him. He made it plain and clear to her. "You don't have to wear it all the time....I love you....You of all people understand what I am going through....Don't do this to me...I'm just screwed up...But I would never hurt you...." He had to make her see that. His life was meaningless with out her in it...He had just realized that he might have made her want to end this relationship...Which was not true....He wanted to kill Jacob...Not her. This was his problem....Not hers...."This is my problem....Not yours...."

"It is my problem... It became my problem when I fell in love with you." Brooke told him, "Hurting Jacob, and don't act like you weren't going to, would hurt Bella." she sighed as she stood up straight once more. "You love her and even though you hate Jacob do you really want to hurt her like that? Ruin her chance at happiness..." She asked.
She slipped the ring back on her finger and sighed lightly, "Why wouldn't I wear it all of the time? I love you and everyone should know it." she told him softly, "Do you not want me to wear it all of the time?"

"It is my problem... It became my problem when I fell in love with you." He looked up at her...., "Hurting Jacob, and don't act like you weren't going to, would hurt Bella." "You love her and even though you hate Jacob do you really want to hurt her like that? Ruin her chance at happiness..."
He closed his eyes when she said that. As tight as he could bare then to be. She was right..."Why wouldn't I wear it all of the time? I love you and everyone should know it." "Do you not want me to wear it all of the time?"
"I want you to wear it all the time. I simply said that because you probably might not be used to it....I admit it's rather large...But it was my birth mother's ring...I can't see any other person wearing it but you...." He opened his eyes just then....He did take her words about Bella's happiness in to consideration as well. He's already hurt Bella more than once. He didn't need to hurt her again. Damn it why did Aro have to poison his mind with that thought? But it wasn't some thing he could just get rid of. He did think that Bella was making love with that beast right now and that all things she used to do with she was doing with Jacob....
"I'm sorry I drug you into this....You don't deserve this...I want his blood so bad it's driving me crazy Brooke....I can't violate the treaty...We can't stay here...Are you willing to really help me....? If you are we gotta get away from Forks a while...I'm doing this so you won't see me go even more crazier than I already have...." He hoped her answer would be yes...He knew when he wanted blood and it was not good...His eyes were dark red...Pulsating with anger with the thirst of blood...not just any kind of blood...The blood of a werewolf...."Please...You don't know how close I am to just turning away on everything you just said and just kill him...."

Brooke took it into consideration for a moment. She really hated those mutts, they had gotten in her way a few times when she crossed the border she knew nothing about, ending in a hungry, pissed off vampire. She stood closer to Edward and gave him a small hug, "Come on, I'll even let you drive my car if you behave." she whispered into his ear before she grabbed his hand and led him back to their cars. She stood in front of hers and presented her keys. "Will you take the deal? Drive in the complete opposite direction until I tell you to stop and you can drive." she said.
Brooke loved her red Lotus Europa, it was her pride and she used it often. The mere fact she even let Edward think about driving it was a big deal, but she couldn't leave it there. Her car was her one material possession that she wouldn't give up, it abandon on the side of the road either, not so close to the Quilete border.
