The Story of Bella Bachelor - The Rewrite: Prologue/Chapter 1: Jealousy

Hi, so this is (obviously) my rewrite of my very first fanfiction from just over a year ago now, The Story of Bella Bachelor. Obviously my writing style has changed quite a bit since I first started, and upon rereading it back a few months ago, I realized how badly written it was. So, I'm doing a rewrite. Some parts will be similar to the original storyline, some will be completely different and some may not be included at all. Just a side project for me, ya know. And be prepared, I decided to keep Jessica. As well as all the other siblings. You probably won't understand me and my wacky ideas unless you've read my other stories. So yeah, let's go!

Prologue

Throughout my twenty-two years of life so far, everything's been a rollercoaster. I've had my ups and downs through many things. Losing people who will always be irreplacable to me, falling in love, heartbreak, sibling rivalry, I've been through it all.

My story is certainly interesting, to say the least. I'd swap my crazy life for someone elses anyday.

Even though the real drama started when I was seven years old, I think we'll start when I was about nine and a half. That's when my life really started to flip upside down.

My name is Bella Bachelor, and this is my story.

Chapter One

I was sat in my room, reading a book. It was titled 'Where's Bella?'. It's always been my favourite book for obvious reasons. Glancing over to my old grey dollhouse that's been passed down through my family for generations, I'm wondering who will obtain it in the future. I really wanted my room done out soon, well both of my rooms; they merge into one because of an archway. One's a playroom and one's a pretty decent sized bedroom. The light yellowy-pink walls and the giraffe poster in my playroom were tiring after being there since before your birth. But the brickwork was still showing in the bedroom, I have no idea why.

Just as I was turning the page in my book, a loud voice stopped me.

"Michael, Bella, can you please both come downstairs?"

That was my Dad calling. His name's Simis Bachelor and he works for the Sunset Valley Times as a journalist. Michael's my brother who is several years older than me. He has a love for green sports jackets and baseball caps. Currently he is in a relationship with Holly Alto, the richest teen in town. It used to be Lolita Goth, Holly and Michael's best friend and Mortimer's older sister, but then of course she died a couple of years ago. I was a witness of her death and it's scarred me for life. I also have an older sister called Jessica, but she's irrelevant right now.

Sighing, I put my book down and left my room, Michael joining me at the top of the stairs. He looked like he'd just woken up from a long nap. He probably has, to be honest. His hair is all over the place.

"I bet ya five simoleons that he's gonna rant on about the fact that you're getting straight A's and I'm getting mostly C's and D's." Michael grinned at me. I'm almost as intelligent than my sixteen year old brother, though that's a pretty easy target to accomplish.

"Whatever you say." I replied. Michael's always finding ways to earn a little extra cash. Yet all he spends it on is video games, then he complains that he never has enough time to do his homework.

So with that, we proceeded down the stairs and into the living room where we both sat down on the sofa, opposite our parents. I'm sorry but it does look as if my mother's gained some weight in the last few weeks.

"Right, you two. Your father and I have an important announcement to make. We don't know how to react to this but please try and stay as calm as possible." Mom started.

I was secretly hoping that they were gonna say that we were having a vacation to Sunlit Tides or something. But hopefully they weren't gonna say that we were moving away.

"Michael, Bella... I'm pregnant." Mom announced. Wait, what?! I'm going to be an older sister?!

"Mom, that's great! A little unexpected but uh... great!" Michael enthused as best as he could. In reality, I think he was trying to say that they were a bit old for having more kids, especially over nine years since they had me.

"But there's one problem." Dad continued. Uh-oh...

"It's triplets."

Without another word, I stood up and left the room. No, forget that, I sped up to a jog and left the house altogether. I have no idea if it was due to shock or just plain jealousy. Dad always told me that I'd be his little girl forever. But what if one of those triplets was a girl? I'd be replaced. But even if it was shock, either way I'd be back soon. I just needed to clear my head.

I didn't know which direction I was actually heading in, all I knew was that I was going uphill. This meant that I'd probably end up at Goth Manor.

Mortimer and I are still friends to say the least, but we're nowhere near as close as we used to be. Not since Lolita's death. My closest friends are now Kaylynn Langerak, who I've known since birth, Darlene Bunch, friends since age two, and Jennifer Pleasant, who I met when we both started school. Kaylynn's Aunt Zelda is best friends with my sister Jessica. Mortimer doesn't have many friends, but he hangs around with Malcolm Landgraab and some of his geeky friends, though he looks like an outcast in the group.

Speaking of Mortimer, he was standing outside Goth Manor as I walked past. He saw me and waved.

"Hey Bella, come here!" he called. I couldn't really say no, so I smiled politely and made my way over to him.

"Hi Mortimer, how are you?" I asked, trying to make some conversation so that I could stay away from the house just a little bit longer.

"I'm doing alright, thanks for asking. What about you?" We definitely had way better conversations when we were best friends.

"Well, where do I begin? I've just discovered that soon I'll no longer be Daddy's Little Princess, cause my Mom's pregnant with triplets. I can hardly believe it." I sighed.

"No way! Well, congratulations! I'm sure it'll all work out fine, you're probably just in shock." Mortimer tried to reassure me. I smiled at him.

"I suppose... but I kind of just stormed out of the house."

"Then I'd probably recommend going back there right now and apologise for storming out."

"I think I'll do that now. Thanks Mortimer, see ya around!" I waved goodbye before turning around and heading home, making sure that I avoided Darlene and Kaylynn who were playing catch in Darlene's backyard that was in clear view of my front door. Before I actually opened the door, I flicked my long black hair behind my shoulders. It's real hard to manage sometimes.

Entering the house, my parents and Michael just stared at me.

"...sorry. But hey, how about we order a pizza to celebrate the good news?!" I enthused, not thinking before I spoke. Any excuse to have pizza, I'll take.

I guess that time will tell if one of the triplets is a girl or not. But I'm prepared to find out.

So yeah. Idk if I'll be able to update before I leave for Mexico on Monday because tomorrow I'll be busy, Saturday's the wedding then Sunday I'll be packing. But we'll see. I might update That One Guy quickly, we'll see. If not, then see ya!
