Out of the Ashes
Bella stood in her bed staring at the view through the window. For once though she didn't see the sunshine. She didn't see the blue of the Sky or the rich lush green of the Grass. The only thing she saw was her wedding car adorned with ribbons and flowers.
"Why doesn't it leave, I dont need it now. Now that he's............." Bella's torturous thoughts veered off to the image of her Fiance. A man who she never thought would be interested in her. A man who she loved and who she thought loved her.
The events of the afternoon has shown her in a stark and brutal way at how much he didn't love her. Turning from the window she stood and looked at her self in the mirror. The image mocked her as she saw herself in her beautiful wedding dress, useless now, her hair beautifully dressed and adorned. Her face white and her eyes a dull lifeless brown.
Bella couldn't look anymore couldn't look at the person who had been dumped just hours before her wedding . As she sat down on her bed her mind replayed back to the moment her life had ended....................................
"Come on Bella sit still you want this took look nice right?" Alice had moaned at her.
"Yes I do but....OWWWW...Alice not so hard" Bella shrieked as another pin was jammed into her suffering scalp
"Dont be a wimp beauty is pain right" Alice replied unsympathetically
"I could just leave my hair down?" Bella suggested
"No up do's are elegant and you will be elegant" Alice glared at her
"I hope it's elegant it certainly hurts...OWWW.." Bella yelped
"There last one, now just some spray and you are done" Alice smiled in triumph as she stood back to admire her handiwork.
Bella took a look in her mirror and gasped at the reflection. She did look elegant and beautiful.
"Alice thank you" Bella husked trying to stop the tears from flowing
"Youre very wlecome but you're not allowed to cry, you'll wreck your make up" Alice beamed
The two girls hugged briefly before Alice moved away to get Bella's dress off the hanger.
"Come on then let's get you attired properly" Alice instructed
Bella slipped off her robe and stood in front of Alice in her underwear. It had been a gift from Alice and it was beautiful. A white boned corset and matching lace thong. White garter top stockings completed the set.
Bella stepped into her dress and waited as Alice laced up the back tightly. The dress was stunning a full length strapless sheath encrusted all over with delicate crystals and sequins. The dress hugged her slim frame but flared out at the hem. Bellas's white jewelled slippers peeked out from the bottom of the dress.
"There done" Alice announced looking at Bella
"Do I look ok?" Bella whispered
"Oh Bella you look stunning, Jacob will be blown away" Alice reassured her
Bella was gazing at herself in the mirror when there was a tap on the door.
"Who is it?" Bella asked
"Bella it's Sam I must speak with you"
Bella opened the door to Jacob's best man Sam.
"Sam come in is everything ok? Is Jacob alright?"
"Bella I have something to tell you" Sam replied staring at Alice
"Look let me go and get ready i'll leave you two in peace" Alice said as she headed for the door.
As soon as she had gone Sam closed the door and drew in a shuddering breath as he turned to face Bella.
"So Sam what is it?" Bella questioned
"Bella i'm....i'm sorry to tell you this but Jacob has gone" He was staring at the floor as he spoke unable to look at Bella.
"Gone...gone where...?"
"I dont know exactly he wouldn't tell he said to say he was sorry and that he never meant to hurt you"
"But our wedding, the arrangements....everything we arranged"
"Bella I tried to talk with him to reason with him but he wouldn't listen and......" Sam stopped unable to say more.
"And......Sam what were you going to say" Bella questioned
Sam took in a shuddering breath as he spoke the words that would surely destroy Bella.
"He's taken Leah with him"
"Leah, Sam's beautiful manipulative sister" Bella's thoughts tortured her. She knew in this mess Leah would be involved. She had often been suspicious of her but Jacob had dismissed her fears with a laugh. Reassuring her that Bella was the one he loved and Leah merely his friend.
"Has he slept with her?" Bella suddenly spat at Sam
Sam didn't answer but he dropped his head and he nodded.
"How long?" Bella questioned him
"I'm not sure exactly.........." Sam evaded
"DON'T LIE TO ME" Bella screamed
"A few months I think, I'm not sure exactly" Sam whispered
"So you all lied to me, I thought I was your friend Sam" Bella husked near tears
"Bella I swear I only found out this morning when Jacob told me, I told him he was a fool. But he said he couldn't live without Leah"
"But why today why not weeks ago. If he loved her why did he propose to me?"
"He did in his own way love you. You were pure, beautiful. He wanted to posess you and make you his, he said to me that you were light and innocence but that Leah was all fire and passion. In the end that's what consumed him. He did want to marry you today but he wanted Leah more"
Bella turned away from Sam as her eyes brimmed with unshed tears. Her whole body was frozen as pain and misery swept through her.
"Bella is there anything I can do?" Sam asked
"No I just want to be alone" Bella whispered
"Ok well take care Bella.....I'll call you later" Sam walked to the door and hesitated.
"Please just leave me" Bella begged
Sam walked out the door and closed it behind him. As Bella heard the door shut she sunk to her knees as the tears started to fall onto the white silk. Her heart broken her body consumed by fire and anguish.
So how did I do please review. Thank you.
