She's so gone
Edward left me. He broke the biggest promise he made, and all I can think about is if it's my fault. But I look back at everything and see that it's not my fault. I'm just sorry I let him control me. I never stood up for myself; my opinion never really mattered in anything. It was always about what Edward thought was best or what Alice wanted. I was always the clumsy, unfashionable girl who hated the spotlight. I was tired of being that girl, I was tired of people walking over me and using me for their own desires. I wanted to change the way I saw myself. I, Bella Swan was going to get a makeover. If Alice was here I'm sure she would've been thrilled.
I went downstairs to call Angela to see if she wanted to come with me to Seattle to get a makeover. Dad was on the couch with the television on but not paying attention to it.
"Dad I wasn't expecting you home, I didn't make any dinner" I said
"That's ok, I need to talk to you about something" he said patting the seat next to him. I took the seat and looked at him curiously.
"I quit my job today. I decided to open my own P.I business. You're always telling me that I can do better than a police officer and I agree with you. I already contacted a few people that want to work with me. I just need to get a building and recruit some staff members." He said while looking at me.
"That's great dad, I'm glad you realize that you have the ability to do better. I'm so proud you decided to try and make this work" I said smiling at him.
"Thanks kiddo, you do realize that I might be away from home for days at a time and be working later than usual right?" he asked
"Of course, but I can handle myself. There is something i want to talk to you about as well" I said cautiously
"What's that Bells?" He asked curiously
"I want to get a complete makeover. I want to be more confident and less clumsy." I said thinking of the change to come.
"Whatever you want kiddo" He said holding my hand. My dad doesn't normally show affection so I know he supports me on this.
"I'm going to call Angela and see if she wants to come with me to Seattle with me to get a makeover" I said
"Okay sweetheart" He said then he hugged me and kissed the top of my head.
I got up, walked to the house phone and dialled Angela's number. She picked up on the third ring.
"Hello?" She answered
"Angela, it's Bella I was just calling to ask if maybe you would want to come with me to Seattle so I can get a makeover." I asked hoping she would say yes.
"Of course, I would love to. Just tell me when and I will be there" She said eagerly
"How about tomorrow, you can sleepover at my house. Your parents won't mind if you miss school will they?" I asked excited.
"Not at all, see you tomorrow Bella" She said
"Goodnight Angela" I said before I hung up the phone.
I walked back into the living room where my dad still sat on the couch.
"Angela agreed to go with me to Seattle and she will be sleeping over here" I said to dad.
"Ok no problem Bell" he replied
"Well I'm off to bed, goodnight dad" I said before running up the stairs. I heard my dad's answering goodnight when I reached the top of the stairs. I brushed my teeth and changed into my ratty old pyjamas. As I got under the covers, I couldn't help but think of the big and exciting day ahead. I fell into a dreamless sleep
