A New Life (Revised)
Chapter 1
Bella POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I knew that something today would change my life forever. I pulled back my 5 year old purple comforter. Thanks to Alice, my fashion sense had improved greatly. I gathered a summer outfit and my toiletries. I blindly stumbled to the bathroom. My teddy bear, Emmett, would have laughed at me for being a clumsy human. I got in and locked the door. I stripped off my clothes and turned the shower head on full blast. I waited for the water to get hot. I got in and chose my shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I chose an apple pie scent. After I washed, I decided to shave. After I was clean and my legs were smooth, I got out. I used my apple pie lotion. Every scent that I have comes in a set of lotion, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I got 5 different scents for $10. I have apple pie, sandal wood/lavender, cherry/vanilla, lilac/honey, and strawberry/chocolate.
I went to change into my outfit. It was a white ruffled summer dress that went mid-thigh, a long jean jacket, a long crystal heart necklace that went to my breast, a turquoise and caramel wrap around bracelet, a pair of flat sandals with a turquoise band, and a turquoise purse that had a matching flower on it. I added some clear gloss and turquoise eyeliner and brown mascara.
I looked HOT. I straightened my hair and flipped it to one side, so one side had more hair than the other. I waked down stairs and stuck cherry pop tarts in the toaster. They popped and ate them. I made Charlie bacon and pancakes. I grabbed my school bag with completed homework on my shoulder. I got my truck keys and walked outside. I locked the door. I unlocked my truck and got in. I'm so glad that it was the last day of school. It meant that I would get more time with Edward. Rosalie and I had finally made up. Rose, Alice, and I were the three musketeers. Jasper and Emmett were my big brothers. Carlisle and Esme were of course, my 2nd parents. I loved that family to death. I started the truck and drove to school. I got a lot of looks from other guys that were not so secretive. Edward and others had to skip because it was sunny outside. My first 6 classes were a blur. Jessica talked non-stop about how Mike had finally asked her out and what movie they were going to see. Angela and Ben were friendly, but quiet.
After the last class of the day, I saw Alice and Rose in the Porsche. They texted me this morning, saying that they were going to pick me up. I looked at them and smiled. They returned the smile. I put my book free book bag in the trunk and got in the car.
"You look pretty, Bella." Rosalie said this with honesty in her voice
"You really do, Bella." Alice stated
"Thanks guys! That means a lot coming from vampires. They laughed and they peeled out of the parking lot. They drove me to their house. I got out of the car and walked to the front door. I opened the door. I saw Carlisle and Esme playing chess. They smiled at me and continued. I saw Jazz and Em building a house of cards. I already knew that Edward was hunting. I watched a movie with my girlfriends. It was fun. I went to the bathroom, and saw that the others had gone hunting. Even with my weak human ears, I could hear moaning coming from Edward's room. I decided to investigate. I went up the stairs and crept up to Edward's door. I silently opened it and gasped at what I saw.
I saw Edward 'doing the deed' with Tanya Denali. They heard me gasp and looked up at me. Tanya looked mad that I had interrupted. Edward looked alarmed and ashamed and scared. He should be. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing and watched as Edward put some clothes on in 1 second and try to come up with an excuse. That tore it.
"Listen to me, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." He winced at his full name. I continued
"Was I not good enough for you? Do you not like me anymore?"
"Bella, I…" He started, but I cut him off
"Save it, Cullen. I hate you! I will never forgive you!"
"You two deserve each other, cheaters."
After that was said, I stormed out and drove to my house. I stripped and took a hot shower. I got out and put on some black shorts and a red tank top. I looked at my phone and saw that I had a missed call from Alice. I decided to call her. I only hated Edward. I still loved the others to death.
"Bella, I saw what happened. Are you okay? Please don't hate any of us other than Edward. I'm really.." Alice trilled so fast, that I was surprised that I could keep. I immediately squashed her fears.
"Chill, Alice. I still love everyone but Edward. It wasn't your fault. I'm okay." That part about me being okay was a lie and she heard it.
"Are you sure? Jazz could feel your anger and pain from your house to here."
"Fine, I 'm not right now, but I will be. Is that a better answer?"
"Just keep believing in that, Bella. I love you, bye."
She hung up. Alice had told me to keep believing it that, so mysteriously, that it made me wonder if she had a vision about me. Oh well, I will worry about it later. For now, I would listen to my I pod and read my Wuthering Heights book. I was at my favorite part. I book-marked it and fell asleep, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
