Twilight not my story...
When things happen, they happen for a reason
Chapter one
3 Years ago -
As I looked in the mirror for the last time I saw a brown eyed girl staring back at me. She had long brown hair that reached hair waist, a slender figure yet curves in the right places and pouty lips. She wore a simple blue dress that fit her like a glove and make up that made her features stand out. I grabbed my keys off my bed side table and my black jacket I then made my way out the door. My nerves begin to kick in, my palms are sweaty and my heart is racing. Bella cut it out, it's only Edward okay so maybe he's not just Edward. He's the green eyed Adonis that haunts my dreams and my thoughts every waking moment, but the thing that sucks is he is just my friend well best friend.
We met at the airport and sat next to each other on the plane and it was a coincidence that we were going to the same College in New York. Also studying the same thing, teaching well I just studied to be English teacher and Edward studied English and music. Edward was originally meant to be a doctor but he decided to not follow his dad, Carlisles footsteps and done his own thing. So when we saw each other again it was when we had been put in the same dorm. Ever since then we had become the best of friends doing everything together, well as friends nothing more. Well as for me I have been hoping for more but I can't bring myself to confessing my feelings in fear of losing him and I definitely don't want to do that.
As I arrived at the little cafe that we had arranged to meet, the cafe was little but very private and warm with low lights and relaxing music in the background. I seen him sitting there and in an instant I smiled, he looks so handsome in his black top and blacked jeans, his hair all over the places. I made my way to Edwards's table, he was on his phone but he looked up and as soon as he saw me he got up to hug me.
"Hey Bells, you look beautiful tonight" Edward said. I smiled and blushed, he always says that but yet I find that so hard to believe.
"Thanks, Edward but really you have to stop saying that." I said. He gave me a disapproving look.
"Now Bell's I've told you so many times you doubt yourself way too much." He said and smiled "You're my best friend and I'd never lie to you but only tell you the truth." A sting to the heart, I don't just want to be his best friend but I brushed it off and sat down.
We order our usual chocolate and strawberry mud cake and a latte and the usual thing always happens, the workers always checking out Edward and always trying to get his number yet he always refuses them. I've always asked why, because some of the girls are really pretty and seemed nice but his response is "they are not my type" and we always leave it at that.
"So we've finally finished our degrees and now it's time look for jobs." Edward said, he looked thoughtful but he always does that look before he says something important. "So I was thinking that we're no longer going to be living on campus together." And he stalled and then spoke again "I was thinking if you'd like, do you want to move in with me?" He paused and I didn't speak yet because I knew he wasn't finished yet. "Mom was very pushy and she bought a three bedroom apartment and one of the bedrooms is yours." I giggled because I knew how Esme was and I knew that something like this would happen. Emse is such a wonderful kind hearted person.
Edward smiled and gave me a pleaded look, how could I not accept? He made me laugh; I don't know why he was so worried to ask.
"Stop worrying, geez you know I'd never turn down the offer." I said and I got up and gave him a hug. "Thank you though because I didn't know where I would be living if not for you, I guess I could always live with Alice." He frowned a little but then relaxed. And if you're wondering who Alice is I will explain who she is and who the rest of the gang are. Alice is Edwards's sister which she is one of my best friends and along with Rosalie who is Emmet's girlfriend and Emmet is Edwards's brother and Jasper which is Alice's boyfriend and Rosalie's brother.
We talked about buying new furniture and how we are going to arrange the house, I'm glad Esme allowed us to do that. We then remember stuffed that happened during our college years, there were so many funny things that had happened. Out of no-where I see my childhood friend Tanya, she was very beautiful strawberry blond hair and blue eyes and a body that made guys want her. We haven't lost contact always skyping and I always go to Forks and visit my parents and her often. I told her about Edward and sent her photos of us; I always talk about him when I get the chance.
I got up out my chair and went over to her "Tanya, what are you doing here?" and she stood up and gave me a big hug.
"Bella, surprise! I wanted to come visit you because you're always visiting me" She said excitedly and pulled me into another hug. I was so happy I could finally introduce her to everyone and Edward. She never really told me what she thought of him and now that she's here maybe she can help me.
"That's great, I'm so happy" I said I grabbed her by her arm and dragged her over to Edwards and mine table. "Come meet Edward"
As we got to the table I introduced them, "Tanya this Edward and Edward this Tanya". They both exchanged hellos and nice to meet you's. I made her sit with us although Edward seemed annoyed I don't know why though. So she sat down and we all started talking and also told her that Edward and I will be rooming again in our new apartment. Then we exchanged embarrassing stories but throughout the whole time we all were talking, I noticed that Tanya was flirting with Edward. I tried ignoring it because that's how she is but she had determination in her eyes. Edward seemed to warm up towards her.
So I excused myself to the toilet because I really felt that I needed to get out of there. I looked in the mirror trying to calm myself down, I felt stupid and I felt like I was over reacting. When came back from toilet I froze, I couldn't move. Tanya and Edward were kissing and after telling Tanya how much I love him, she goes as does that. I ran out of there without saying goodbye, got into my car and drove where ever I would end up. I arrived at Alice's and collapsed in front her door; I started crying hysterically, in the process of falling down. Edward, Tanya, Tanya, Edward ... Shock just took over my brain I couldn't move. I think I fell asleep because I woke up in Alice bed. The numb feeling spread throughout my whole body but yet even being numb hurt, the pressure of my chest. I looked around the room and saw Alice sitting on the end of the bed, she looked worried.
"Bella, you're awake "Alice stated I couldn't find my voice to speak, knowing I'd breaking down crying. " Bella, tell me what happened. Edward called looking for you he was worried but I told him you are here." Alice said. The mention of his name broke my heart, I was stupid and over reacting but it hurt that Tanya would such a thing. I don't want to blame Edward because he's not mine and he can kiss whoever but it still hurts.
I took deep breaths and found my voice "Edward and I were at the cafe and Tanya appears out of nowhere." As I continued the story and I had explained that Tanya knew that I loved him but she goes doing that. Alice knew from the beginning and she's always telling me that Edward and I are going to end up together because he loves me too. Well if he loved me he would have done something about it I thought bitterly. Alice Gasped and hugged me which brought on the water works again. She laid down next to me and hugged me and reassured me that everything is going to be okay.
I think I fell asleep again because the next time I woke, I woke up to Edward stroking my face. "Why did you run away Bella" He asked with tone laced with pain. I wanted to cry but i really tried to compose myself.
"I'm sorry, I felt really sick. " I said in a weak voice. "Sorry for leaving you a Tanya. What do you think of her?"
"Um, she's really nice." Edward said and paused. "We're going on a date"
I tried being happy for him and I said "That's great" Trying to smile. And he smiled back genuinely.
"Well, I'm tired and going to sleep." I said and rolled over and with that Edward left.
Now –
So that was three years ago and it took me two years to be myself again but still not myself. I ended up living with Alice and Tanya moved in with Edward and are currently engaged. Edward and I aren't that close but we still hang out because of the gang and I hate Tanya. She knows it but she really didn't care, she had an evil glint in her eye when I asked why she had she done that. Although she didn't say anything I suspect that when I showed her photos of him she then had made up some sort of evil plan. I'm currently an English teacher and loving it, that's what keeps me distracted from everything.
I was packing away some clothes as we have a beach house that we go to every weekend once a month. I love going there its so relaxing but the only thing that's annoying is Tanya.
So what do you all think? Is it gay? Sorry if it's a bit rushed and doesn't make much sense but I guess I'll find out with feed back.
Hope you all enjoyed it! :)
