Chapter 1: UNACCEPTABLE
''Congratulations Isa!'' I heard Jacob coming towards me from the back. I turned to face him and he suddenly hugged me. Many people were looking at us like we're a thing because we were hugging in the middle of a crowd. ''Thanks Jake'' I said never letting go but he hugged me even tighter that I couldn't breathe anymore. ''Jake! Stop! I can't bre..athe!'' he quickly let go of me. ''Sorry'' he frowned. ''Don't worry you silly. Congratulations too!'' I smiled at him.
Thank God high school is finally over. High school was like hell to me. I only had a true friend during my senior year who is Jacob and the rest were so fake. They just make friends with me whenever my parents throw out house parties for me. I love having house parties because it's the only time that I can be 'wild and free'. But this time, my dad, Charlie Swan became the Mayor of Forks that makes him a busy man so he didn't let me have my own graduation party. When I told my 'friends' about it, they got mad and never talked to me again. Except Jacob. He was my best friend since I was a little girl. His dad, Billy who is in a wheelchair and my dad were also best of friends. His mom died when she gave birth to his sister, Rachel. When my mom, Renee knew about it she treated the siblings like they were also her children. It's like we are one family except that they live in La Push. My family and I lived in a mansion in Forks. Well, not anymore because my parents aren't always at home like we used to. My dad is always in his office since he became the Mayor now. My mom always travels in New York because she has a company there. And I'm only left in the mansion with the maids and bodyguards. That's why they told Billy to let Jacob and Rachel stay with me for the whole school year. Rachel didn't like the idea because she wants to stay in her school in La Push. Jacob was so happy when he knew about it so he was with me for the whole school year. And here we are, finally we're going to college.
''Isa!.. Isabella!'' Jacob brought me back to reality. ''What?'' I asked annoyed by his pokes. I found myself over thinking again. ''You didn't listen to what I just said.'' I looked at him, embarrassed. ''I'm sorry Jake. I just can't believe high school is over now.'' A tear fell from the corner of his eye as he said ''Yeah, and I'm going back to La Push again.'' I hugged him and he hugged me even tighter. I don't care what the people around us will think. I will really miss my best friend. If only Billy will let him stay in the mansion for a while but he's Jake's real family. Rachel must have missed him too. ''Don't worry I'll visit you tomorrow.'' I promised him as I closed my eyes.
''Isabella!'' I know that voice. I opened my eyes and saw my ''Mom!'' I let go of Jacob as I ran to my mom. Oh I miss her so much! ''Mom! I thought you'd miss my graduation!'' I cried. ''I will never do that to you honey. Congratulations!'' Mom kissed me in the forehead. ''Oh I'm so proud of my Isa!'' dad said coming from behind. ''Dad! You made it!'' I hugged him. This is one of the happiest day of my life. I can see Billy hugging Jacob too. ''Congrats son! I'm so proud of you.'' He said and for the first time I saw him smile.
We took a lot of pictures with our diplomas. We also took pictures with our teachers. It was awkward because dad invited my 'fake friends' to join us. Of course, they wouldn't say no because my parents are there. So we all smiled at the camera like nothing ever happened between all of us.
''Jacob, you have to say goodbye to Isabella now.'' I heard Billy say as he shakes hand with my dad. ''Thank you so much Charlie.'' He smiled at my dad. I wonder how they became best friends. ''Don't forget your promise Isa.'' Jake hugged me again. ''I won't, I promise.'' I kissed him on the side of his cheek. He smiled his big smile. Then both of them left.
When my family and I got home, it was really dark. The mansion almost looked like its haunted. ''Crap! The bodyguards and maids won't answer my calls.'' Mom said a little pissed off. ''Let's just get inside and find out.'' Dad said while he was opening the door. We went inside and I got scared so I curled up to my mom. ''Mom, what's going on?'' I asked like a scared little girl. But she let go of me then she suddenly disappeared. I couldn't see anything so I freaked out. ''Mom! Dad! Where are you?'' I hate being alone so I opened my bag and tried to find my phone. Unfortunately, I lost it. I must have left it in my room this morning. So I just walked and touched some things to lead me out of nowhere. I think that I'm in the dining room now because I can feel the huge table and chairs but then I slipped. Gosh I'm so clumsy.
''SURPRISE!'' then suddenly the room was bright. Everyone is here, my parents, the maids, the bodyguards and a very beautiful woman that I don't know. There were so many delicious food on the dining table. The room was decorated stunningly and there was a big banner saying Congratulations Isabella Marie Swan! My parents are so sweet. Tears ran through my face while one of the maids helped me to stand up. ''Awww guys, you know that I hate surprises but thank you so much!'' My dad hugged me. ''You know how much we love you Isa!'' But I was distracted by the presence of the beautiful woman. She smiled at me as I let go of my dad. ''Congratulations Isabella.'' She smiled even more as she handed me a gift. Wow! She's so beautiful in and out. ''Uhm.. thank you-..'' ''Esme. Esme Cullen.'' ''Thank you so much Esme. I'll just open it later.'' I smiled at her. Then I told one of the maids to put it inside my room.
''Isa, this is my long time best friend, Esme. She lived in Forks but she moved in New York when she married Carlisle Cullen. She visited us here when your grandpa passed away. Don't you remember her?'' Mom asked as she put her right arm around Esme. ''I don't kno-..'' ''Renee, she was still four years old at that time! Of course she wouldn't remember me.'' Esme cut me off. She giggled like an angel. ''Yeah you're right. I can't believe my princess is a big girl now.'' Mom kissed me in the cheek. ''How old are you Isa?'' Esme asked me. ''I'm eighteen.'' I replied. ''Oh Renee! Do you remember what we planned before?'' Esme turned to my mom and winked. Mom looked confused. ''You know.. about my son?..'' she waited for mom to get what she mean. It took several seconds for my mom to finally realize. ''Oh yeah!'' mom said. I'm the only one who doesn't know what they're talking about and I'm really curious about it. But I need to pee so I excused myself for a moment. I decided I'll just ask my mom about it when Esme's gone.
We had dinner afterwards. The table was so big and there were so many food. It's awkward that there are only four of us. I wish dad threw me a graduation party but I realized that I don't want to hang out with those 'fake friends' of mine anymore. I ate a lot of spaghetti and buffalo chicken bites. Hmmm.. yum! They also enjoyed their meals. Mom and Esme planned about joining their companies together in New York. Dad seemed to agree with that.
''So Isa what are you going to take in college?'' Esme asked me. ''Uhm, I don't know yet. I just want to travel around first and think about it.'' ''That's good because my graduation gift for you will be perfect!'' What does she mean? ''What did you gave her Esme?'' mom asked before me. ''It's just between me and Isabella darling.'' Esme winked at me. I wonder what her gift is. I can't wait to open it. I smiled at her.
The maid served our desserts. ''Here's your Chocolate Chip Walnut Pie madam.'' ''Thank you.'' I said gently. Gosh, I'm so full now but a dessert like this? Who wouldn't want to eat it? Dad let the maids and bodyguards leave for a while because he said that we will have an important discussion. I became curious now. What's so private about it?
''Isabella. Your dad and I are getting older now and well..'' ''Well?'' I questioned her. ''Well, we want what's best for you.'' Dad said. ''I know that dad.'' I smiled at him. ''So what about it?'' I asked, still curious. ''Isa, my company is going down that's why I want to join forces with Esme's company.'' ''Oh that's good mom'' I said happily. But what does it apply to me? ''And we're asking you a favor sweetheart. When you were young, your father and I agreed with Esme and Carlisle to let you marry Edward before your nineteenth birthday.'' Mom finally admitted it. ''WHAT? Who's that? Who's Edward?'' I asked, shocked of what I just heard. They want me to marry a guy I don't even know and I don't even love! Anger ran through me. I can't believe my parents are still after fortune even we're already rich. ''Edward is my son Isabella.'' Esme said. '' You don't have to worry honey. He'll take care of you. He's a real gentleman and a handsome guy like his father. He knows how to play musical instruments. He's very smart. Esme trained him well in business. And..-'' ''I DON'T CARE MOM! '' I cut her off. I don't care what all of them will think of me right now but god I'm so frustrated! This is beyond respect! Where's my freedom here? Tears fell into my eyes. I don't want Esme to get insulted because it's her son we're talking about so I ran away and went to my room.
I cried a lot as I jumped into my bed. How could they do this to me? My own parents! It's like they're selling me! I'd rather die than marry someone I don't even know and I don't even love! The pillow that I'm leaning on is so wet now so I dried up my tears and sat down. I saw Esme's gift and I opened it. I found myself still sobbing. The gift was a pink Hermes bag. I opened inside and there were three cute tops. There was also a small wallet with dollars in it. I also found a ticket for New York. Gosh, this is a lot! I want to give them back but I feel embarrassed of what I did a while ago. I shouldn't have freaked out but hey, who wouldn't?
Someone knocked on my door. ''Who is it?'' I said as I dry up my tears again. ''It's your mom sweetheart. Can I please come in? I just want to talk to you.'' I hid Esme's gift from my cabinet as I replied to her ''Fine.''
If my parents will really force me to marry this Edward guy, I will really do something they'll never expect me to do.
