Chapter Twenty seven
I am going out of my mind and eventually give up on seeing Cullen when he walks inside the door with my cousin following behind. He reeks of booze and he looks worse for wear. We have just come from the church where he looked fine to me, how did he get drunk so quick? My cousin seems skeptical about Cullen as she keeps one leg in and out of the door.
“I am sorry, I found him outside lying on the lawn and I didn’t know what to do. Should I get someone?” she asks me
“It’s fine. Just leave us” I tell her while I focus on Cullen who has taken a seat
“Are you sure?” she asks looking at Cullen
“Yes. Thank you”
“Okay” she answers and leaves, closing the door behind her
I approach Cullen and grab some water which I offer him. He takes it and drinks some of it before he throws the bottle on the other side of the room. He is mad; I sit next to him and say slowly
“Cullen...”
“What do you want Bella?” he says looking straight at me.
His eyes are sharp and dark, this is the mean Cullen, but I think he is still in there, I just have to reach him
“Cullen I am sorry about what I did, I know I should have trusted you and I did that’s why I never took those pills. You have to forgive me and get over that please! I need you”
“You need me?” he asks sarcastically
“Yes. These past few weeks have been hell without you, you’re the only one who knows what I am going through. We don’t have much time you have to help me” I say watching the door. Someone could come get us for the party at any minute now.
“Why don’t you ask your brand new husband?”
“Would you stop it? You left me with the mess you made and now you come back and start judging me? What was I supposed to do? I have been trying to reach you while your family dismisses me every time I ask about you”
“I made a mess? Me? My only mistake was taking Rupanzel out of her little golden castle and showed her a good time that night. All that came after that is your own damn fault. What are you even whining about anyway princess? Isn’t this what you have always wanted what you have always dreamed about? Being Cyrus’s little pet whore?” I strike him in the face hard. I didn’t even mean to do it, it just happened
“I am so sorry” I tell him trying to reach his face but he holds my wrist before I reach him and stands up
“I think I am going to go “he says as he starts to leave, I hold his pant leg and stop him
“I am sorry please don’t leave you have to help me”
“What do you want Bella? I am really tired of your games, not today”
“I was forced to marry Cyrus by my parents, I didn’t want to and I couldn’t tell them the truth but if they find out about you and me, I will be done for”
“What the fuck are you talking about?”
“I can’t sleep with Cyrus tonight, he will find out and I will be toast”
“Then don’t sleep with him. I know my brother is an ass but he won’t force himself on you”
“What about the presentation of the sheets? It is customary and everyone expects it, especially from the future heir. You have to get me out of this please”
“And why is it my problem? This looks like it’s you and your husband’s problem”
“Stop being an ass. You know what we did that night when you took my virginity, if the family finds out I am not pure I will be destroyed. If I tell them you were responsible and you let me marry your brother how would that look for you?”
“Oh! You mean that?” he says and starts laughing uncontrollably “oh God yes!” he says laughing manically.
It’s almost that he is happy about this and he is laughing at me specifically. What the hell is going on and what is his problem?
“Why the hell are you laughing so hard about? This is serious”
“Thank you for reminding me about that Bella, I almost forgot about our night together, how odd” then he laughs even harder and continues walking toward the door laughing
“You have to help me, if you leave I will tell on you and destroy the both of us” I shout at him. He stops and turns around; his face looks evil right now. I have never seen him like this before, I don’t know if it’s the alcohol doing this but it makes me scared.
“You know what I think? I think you won’t tell a soul or you could do it right now, no one is stopping you. Everyone will know what a stupid, dirty whore my big brother married. It will be a shame for the two of you, think of the shame you will bring on your parents, their name and your husband”
Tears immediately start pouring down my face. This is not the Cullen I know, why is he being so cruel towards me
“Please, I just need your help. Maybe you can sneak me out and help me run away where no one can find me. Then no one would ever find out. Please just help me” I say as I struggle to kneel down with the wedding dress, tears falling down my face. He pretends to think about it holding his chin in thought before he approaches me and helps me up, and then he says
“You know what I could….but I think karma is a sweet bitch so I am going to let her do what she does best” he says with a straight face
I start crying uncontrollably and Cullen just stands there watching me like he is looking at his favorite movie. Just then Cyrus comes in through the door and stops when he sees the scene in front of him. I want to stop but that just makes me cry even harder.
