Title: BROKEN STRINGS
Summary: Blair moved to Forks from the Upper East Side after once again breaking up with her boyfriend Chuck Bass, she can't believe she has to live in a 'small town' with her old grandmother staying away from her best friend Georgina and their schemes. What happens when she meets the King of Forks High, Edward Cullen and realizes here she's not Queen? B/E/Be
Blair Waldorf- she lived in Manhattan, the upper east side to e more precise; she used to have everything, her best friend and partying partner Georgina Sparks and her on and off womanizer boyfriend Chuck Bass. The hardest thing she ever had to do was leave Georgie and her old life behind in order to move on - Chuck had hurt her too many times before, she couldn't endure it any longer, she couldn't get hurt again or she'd actually break down for good. So she decided to spend her senior year in the small city of Forks, where her mother was originally from, and she'd stay with her grandmother Claire.
Bella Swan - she moved to Forks last year and is living with her father Charlie, he's the chief of police there. A month after she arrived she almost died and was saved by Edward Cullen, instantly falling in love with him and discovering his darkest secret. They began dating after a while and he took her to prom; Charlie often said Bella didn't love him she was obsessed, because she couldn't spend one minute without him. Her biggest fear is to lose Edward, even though she began noticing his strange behavior from some time now, he felt more and more disconnect from her. Her cousin Blair Waldorf just arrived in town and moved in with their grandmother.
Edward Cullen - he's one the vampires adopted by Dr. Carlisle Cullen and his wife Esme, he has four adoptive siblings: Alice, who can see the future; Jasper, who dates Alice; Emmet and Rosalie who are also dating. Last year he met Bella and became mesmerized with her, she had the most amazing smell to her blood ever and one thing that draw him to her was the fact that he couldn't hear her thoughts, just like he did to everyone else. They are dating, but Edward hasn't been himself lately, he feels like something is missing and his life is about to change; it has been sometime since he feels like he's with Bella because he knows she won't survive without him.
Chapter 1: Introductions
She already settled in her grandmother's small mansion, thank god she's rich and had what she supposed was the biggest house in this hole people call a town. Her bedroom was great and big, it had a big window facing the woods, which kind of crept her out at night when she was about to sleep, but it was actually well decorated, dear ol' Claire still has taste. Her grandmother was a thousand times better than Eleanor, she was so sweet and had already told Blair that if she ever needed anything all I had to do was ask, and here Blair would need lots of things since there was no Barney's or Bendel's.
This was her first day at school, and she decided to wear a navy mini skirt, a white satin top and her new pair of white stockings with these amazing new Michel Perry's she just bought before she left; Blair had to make a good impression, after all this was a public school and she had never set foot in one of those, was she going to be mugged at the door? Or raped in the bathroom? Ughh, she just couldn't believe they didn't have a private school here, this was my senior year for God's sake! As she walked downstairs she noticed Claire was making breakfast, if this was the UES and someone was rich they'd definitely have a maid, but she liked doing stuff by herself ; Blair smiled towards her and she put the plate on the table, she had made me eggs and bacon,not to be rude Blair decided to eat up, one day wouldn't be that bad now would it?!
"So are you ready Blair honey?" she asked as Blair bit her bacon. "I hear the school is very good, and your cousin Bella will be there" she sat across for me.
"I-I actually have no idea grandma, I mean I'm used to my old school and my old friends. But I guess it won't be so bad, after all we are Waldorf's" she replied re forcing the sarcasm on her last sentence. She wanted to be Queen and that was all, since this was a public common school, maybe it wouldn't be so hard because of the lack of competition, she thought.
"Oh yes, I know it must be hard for you without Georgina and Chuck here, those too were pretty much your life there. Eleanor told me everything dear, but being my granddaughter I'm sure you'll fit in just fine" she literally made Blair speechless, she couldn't believe Eleanor told her about Chuck, although she was right about the being hard; she missed Chuck every time of every day, that Basstard was stuck in her head, but that's why she came here in the first place, to forget and move on. There's gotta be hot guys in Forks, right? Shit.
"Well Georgie is my best friend and I'm hoping we won't have to mention him again grandma. I just want to enjoy my year here" Blair had already finished her plate, maybe talking about things that made her nervous wouldn't help the diet. "And now I should also leave. Is the driver here?" she asked getting up.
"Oh honey, we live one block from school. I'm afraid you'll have to walk". Was she kidding? She had new heels on, not to mention the shitty weather out there, it seemed like it was going to rain.
"Are you kidding?" Claire motioned no with her head. "But-I mean it's almost raining Claire, I can't walk out there" Blair pouted hoping her grandmother would come to her senses and see that the streets of Forks were not fit for Blair Waldorf., but of course she didn't.
Blair decided to walk, she grabbed an umbrella and started making her way to school; Her heels making noise as she walked angry. New York is so much better, in Forks there was no noise and nobody on the streets, Blair missed the pace of her old town. Suddenly tired of walking alone she spotted this Volkswagen car approaching her, and since being here was all about changing Blair sticked her finger out and was about to ask a total stranger for a ride. The car started to slow down and stopped in front of her, Blair suddenly felt nervous when the driver opened the window; she became speechless, he was the most beautiful man she had ever seen her entire life, he had white pale skin, big eyes and a mouth she could just devour.
Edward Cullen couldn't smell her with the windows closed, so he decided to stop and give a ride to the girl who seemed pretty distressed even in a distance; as soon as he approached her and read her mind, hearing how desperate she was to get out of the unknown street he opened the window to offer her a ride. She was beautiful, almost exquisite but to his worry so was her blood, he had never felt something like that before, not even with Bella; this girl had something about her and her blood that made him doubt his control powers. Everything started to be blurry for him, he could hear her thoughts of how she thought he was beautiful and on the other hand his own thoughts were speaking loud, thinking of how she'd taste as good as she smelled. His only reaction was to speed away from there.
Blair couldn't believe this guy, first he stopped to give her a ride and now he just left as she prepared to enter. Forget his good looks and undeniable charm, he was an ass. No one stood Blair Waldorf up, who did he think he was, Blair was beyond pissed she could kill someone right now, she was standing in the middle of an empty road alone and she didn't even know where school was. That guy better not show his beautiful face to her again, or she couldn't answer for herself.
She was about to enter the school gates, public school was exactly like she imagined, it was a prison with the bars and everything, even the other pupils looked like inmates, they were all pale, not as pale as that stupid guy, but no one here was tan, except for her, she had spent the summer in the Hamptons with Georgie. Claire told Blair someone would be expecting her at the gate so she waited, she couldn't help but to look sideways to everybody, she was... scared.
"Hey, you Blair Waldorf?" she heard someone ask from behind her, she immediately held on to her purse and looked at the person behind her. Two petite girls were looking at her smiling and holding hands. One was blond and the other a light brunette.
"Umm, yeah. Who's asking?" she looked down at the girls, they were a little too excited to be normal, Blair thought.
"Oh sorry, didn't mean to scare you. I'm Serena" the blond one said, pulling her hand out so Blair would shake it, which she hesitated but did. "And this is my friend Jess, we're here to help you get acquainted". Blair forced a small smile while the girls held on to each other almost squealing and looking at Blair's outfit. "Oh My God! We were just saying your skirt is... wow, amazing" Serena added.
"Thanks... It's CK, which of course you guys don't know, 'cause there's no designer stores in this town" Blair said annoyed. She couldn't help but to stare at the two bimbo's dressed in old jeans and matching tank tops. "Your tops are... matchy"
"Thanks we bought them yesterday at Port Angeles, you should go there, there's like the best stores ever. Not designer's though, but really like good ones" Jess giggled. "So we should take you to the Mr. Korbs office so you can get your schedule and stuff" she grabbed Blair's arm, which made her extremely uncomfortable, but she still followed them.
"Hey you have English with us and Bella. How great is that?" Serena shouted in the middle of the hall, no one stared at her, maybe it was natural of her and people didn't even pay attention anymore, Blair thought. When Blair was about to speak Serena interrupted her. "Oh and you have Math and Geology with Edward, can you believe it Jess, how lucky is she? Bella doesn't have even one class with him this year, they're totally making out the whole lunch break hour".
"Bella? She's my cousin... Wait so Edward's her boyfriend? I've never even heard of him. Apparently you know them really well" Blair said before Serena could get in her way again, was she on drugs, Blair thought.
"Umm, yeah. But if she's your cousin don't you like talk to her? Everyone knows about her and Edward, he's like the most beautiful guy in school, I still can't believe she bagged him, I mean it's not like all of us didn't try it" Jess sounded jealous, really jealous. She couldn't believe how lucky Bella was, Edward was 'the' catch in Forks high.
"Well, she might be my cousin, doesn't mean she's worthy of my time, does it?" Blair did not like being wronged, and what Jess said made her feel that way. She had no time for Bella, she was busy in the Hamptons drinking and making out with hot guys, mostly that Chuck Basshole. Why was she thinking of him again? And why is she already being bitchy to the people she should be conquering? "Sorry for the bitchiness, but I don't really get along with her, we're too different or were. Is Edward that good?" She needed to know more about this Edward, if she wanted to be Queen she also needed to know who to take down and who to take as allies.
"Oh it's okay, we can be kind of bitchy ourselves. And Edward is like the King is school was a monarchy, believe me he'd rule. So by dating the King I guess Bella is Queen. hey Serena, we're friends with the Queen" Jess started giggling after realizing what she said, but Blair was far from happy. This meant Bella was Queen? How could she bring down both of them? And why was this guy so special anyway?
"But Bella is nothing like a Queen. Oh you know who'd be a perfect Queen? You Blair, you'd be awesome. You're so pretty and tall... So much better" Serena could see it on Blair's face that her and Bella did not get along, and that Bella being Queen and they being friends with Bella was kind of pissing her off; so she decided to give Blair a pep talk, Blair was too cool for them to leave her for Bella and Edward.
"Well, I was Queen in Constance, couldn't hurt being it here now would it?" Blair smirked at the girls who nodded excited at the same time. "Of course it will all happen naturally... I wouldn't want to go against Bella, and after all she's not Queen material... We'll just get rid of the King, right?" Blair suggested at the girls.
"Okay, this is so exciting!!! Serena this will be so cool, but I think that if you talk to Edward he'll so back down. He's kinda cool. Oh look it's time for class, you're having Math right now... so good luck" Jess patted Blair's arm and with Serena she left. Blair smiled to herself, 30 minuted in school and she already had two minions with her, now she needed to meet this Edward talk to him and she'd be Queen - maybe Forks wasn't so bad. She entered the classroom, introduced herself to the teacher who pointed out the only available table to Blair, she gave the teacher a fake smile and sit down. Good at least she has a table all to herself, she thought as she looked around the room to find no one of her liking, people here were so... common. Just breathe Blair this is worth it, you'll get over Bass in no time, you'll see!
"Mr. Cullen, I'm so glad you've decided to join us. Now sit you have a new partner" Ms. Lockhart said as Edward entered the classroom late. Blair wasn't paying much attention but when she saw who was approaching her, she was amazed, surprised and incredibly angry. Are you kidding me? This asshole is my... partner? What the Hell I told myself I didn't want to see him the rest of my life or I'd jump on him and turn him to pieces!!! Oh now he'll see what rude is all about, I'm about to give him a tad of his own medicine - Blair kept thinking, her mind racing and her eyes locked with this beautiful boy, who little did she know was smirking at her thoughts and how childish they were.
Edward knew who she was, he could smell her from the hall, that's why he was late to class, he was considering whether to enter or just leave because she smelled to good and for his distaste she was going to sit right next to him. He often thought hanging around with Bella was a sacrifice, so he never imagined someone more powerful and as beautiful as Blair could ever enter his life. He knew what she was thinking, she didn't like him, actually he believed she hated him from what she was thinking - killing him for leaving her in the middle of the street after stopping to give her a ride, but it wasn't his fault he couldn't control himself, and that's also why he had to go hunting last minute to be able to restrain himself from such pleasure. He looked at her and smiled before sitting down. "I know who you are. You're" he was interrupted by a very bitchy Blair who filled her voice with her favorite - sarcasm.
"I am not interested. So spare your self the energy to introduce, because you are officially in my black book, and trust that's no good place to be" even if you're extremely good looking and have tons of sex appeal, she continued in her mind, trying not to make eye contact.
He smiled at her thought. "Well still I should apologize for this morning, I really needed to leave, and I'm sorry if I gave you a wrong impression" Edward was very polite, no one could disagree about that, and although he'd be better in her 'black book' not only for her sake but to his and Bella's, he was drawn to this girl and couldn't help it.
"Gave me the wrong impression? You left me standing there when I was about to enter your stink ass last year Volkswagen." she said in a small voice, with a fake smile not to give anything away to her new teacher. Blair loved being the teacher's pet.
"But I really did not mean it, and I don't think we should be rude to each other, Blair. How about we behave whenever we're in class. I'm Edward, Edward Cullen" he extended his hand. Blair for a second thought she heard wrong. Edward? The Edward Cullen, King of Forks High, who happens to deserve that title, because he's smokin hot? He's the asshole? Shit Blair, why do you always have to be a bitch, now how will you get him to stand back? - she was speechless, she was staring at him not saying a thing, but her mind was telling him a lot. "I figure you've heard about me"
"Heard? You're my cousins boyfriend... I'm Bella's cousin by the way, and" now now Blair be nice you need him in your good graces, a little fake in morning doesn't hurt anyone "I'm so-sorry about... being rude, I had no idea" this was getting low, really low even for Blair, now she had to grovel, nice.
"I knew that, but like I said let's just behave in class. Let's just say it's not in our best interests to do more than that". Edward was hearing everything and he couldn't help to think how someone who smelled so great and looked so perfect have a mind like that, she was plotting right in front of him, she was being fake ass right now, all smiling when she found out he was King or something, what is a king anyway? And Bella, he could see she didn't even like her and Edward would not help her increase that feeling about Bella by being friends.
"Are you on drugs or something? 'Cause if you're not than let me tell you buddy you have some serious personality issues, and now I'm not even being 'behaved' in classes. You're rude and obnoxious, and I don't know how someone who is my own blood can stand you, even if she is crossed with some skanky Renee" she pointed her finger and pushed her face towards him, leaving him so high on her smell and he could hear no such thing. "What are you doing?" she screamed when she saw him close his eyes and leave the room without saying another word, again; and then she was lucky to be saved by the bell, screaming in the middle of the class would not give her plus points, she was certain of that.
She had two more classes and none of it were with him again, she had one with Serena and Jess, Bella was missing school today, she went to see Renee; every time the bell rang Blair hoped to bump into him, she didn't know why but she was drawn to him, what was it with her and assholes?! And he was her cousins boyfriend, she had to get him out of her head, his beautiful big caramel eyes, his rude walk, the way he talks, his perfect features... She wanted him, and by having him she'd be Queen - was that wrong?
TBC... So this story will continue, I don't know what came to me but I just felt like writing about Blair and Edward, although I'm all Chair. LOL. Please review and give me your opinion, I really, really need it. I'm gonna post the next one tomorrow huns, thank you for reading.
