Forks 98331:
CHAPTER ONE:
"So Bella I hear you are in need of some extra money." Mike Newton blush as he approach Bella. He had been crushing on her ever since she move to town four months earlier. He had watch her over the summer when she first move into town with her dad and step mother. She kept to herself mostly. She seem pretty close to her father but not her step mother.
"Uh?" Bella look up from the novel she was reading to see Mike staring at her with a beet red face. She glance around quickly hoping she was not the blunt end of a joke with him and his jock friends.
"I hear you need money." Mike cough nervously as he stuck his hands in his Forks High Jersey.
"Yeah." Bella frown at him with a suspicious glare.
"My mother is looking to hire for the Holiday season. She says that more people buy their camping gear during the cold season because they think it will be cheaper." Mike explain with a goofy smile plaster on his face.
"Okay." Bella stare at him bored to death.
"So if you come by I can put in a good word for you." He offered.
"Sure." Bella nodded as she turn her attention back to the book she was reading.
Mike wanted to say something else to her but came up clueless. He just could not seem to find his groove with her. She was totally different from the other girls he usually ask out. She was not only pretty but she was also very smart. He knew this because she was in all of the Gifted and Talented classes. She was also a bit shy. Or at least he assume she was shy and just not a total bitch.
"Mike what are you doing here? " Rosalie snap as she walk past him to get some more ketchup for her fries.
"Nothing. I mean I was talking to Bella." He stuttered.
Rosalie was gorgeous. She was one of the most popular girls at Forks High. Her family was loaded. She was definitely one of the notables around here. He also knew that other than being one of her many fans he had no shot in hell with a girl like her.
"Then get your ass at the table." Rosalie grinned as she strutted back to their elite table.
Mike wave at Bella as he follow her command.
Bella glance back briefly to see the cool table. She would never understand what made them so superior to the rest of the teens here at Forks. She really did not mind that she was not in that group. She had been in the "it" group back in Arizona. It was one of the major reasons she got ship off here to this god forsaking rainy town to begin with. Being in the "in" crowd had demands and pressure place on you. She had fallen so deep into that pressure that she had let a lot of things happen that cause her life to go into a swirling chaotic tornado until she landed flat on her ass and nearly in rehab. Her mother had finally relinquish her rights and force her to live with her father and his new much younger wife. Her father had just move to Forks a few weeks before she was ship off here. She felt like she was being punish unfairly.
She grab her books and was about to head to the restroom when she saw him walk in. The one guy at this school who just knock the breathe out of her. He was tall, dark and handsome. He was also very madly in love with his girlfriend. She knew she had no chance in hell with a guy like him but it was nice to fantasize from time to time when she got bored. Jake and Miranda. Everyone thought they were the sweetest couple ever. Bella thought that Miranda was pretty. She was also super sweet. Unlike her fraternal twin sister Rosalie. Rosalie was gorgeous. She was a few inches taller than her petite sister. She was also a diva. Rosalie like control. Rosalie also like to be a total bitch any chance she got. Bella had found that out immediately after school started.
Rosalie had walk up to her in second period and bluntly announce that the new girl could use some sun as well as some better conditioner. Bella's instinct were to get up and slap the total shit out of her but she refrain herself. She remember that in order to move back home in a year she had to pass all of her classes, stay out of trouble and make damn sure she was the perfect citizen of Forks Washington.
Bella got even a few days later when she accidentally trip Rosalie with her book bag causing Miss little perfect to fall flat on her face. Everyone started to laugh until she stood up wearing a ferocious look on her face. Bella quickly apologize to Rosalie and the teacher. The teacher suspected it had been a accident because no one would dare stand up to Rosalie Rutledge. Rosalie called her a major clumsy bitch as she passed her in the hall. Bella flip her off and smile sweetly at her. Every day from that day on Rosalie had made sure that no one in her group talk to Bella or dear lord even befriended her. Bella did not mind at first. She thought they were all little followers anyways until she started to notice that a few of them were not too happy with some of Rosalie's antics. She started to suspect that Rosalie was about to loose some of her fans if she did not appear to be a little less cruel.
She walk pass the happy couple and push the door open to hit Edward Cullen smack in the face with the door. He cried out as he held his nose.
"Oh shit." Bella muttered as she drop her books to look at his nose.
"Are you okay?" Bella ask nervously as she grab her purse trying to find some tissues. It appear that a little bit of blood was falling out of his nose.
"Not really." Edward chuckle sarcastically as he took the tissues she handed him.
Luckily they were outside of the cafeteria so no was aware of their ordeal.
"I'm sorry. I did not see you." Bella confessed.
"I would hope not. I mean I would not think you would purposely hit me with the door." Edward chuckle as the pain began to subside.
"NO. I would not." Bella laugh lightly.
"It looks like it is stopping." Edward noted as he look down at the bloodied tissues.
"Your Isabella right." Edward ask as he cringe from the pain still pulsating through his nose.
"No. I mean I go by Bella." Bella explained as she pick up her books.
"Oh." Edward muttered as he glance around for a trash bin.
"Are you okay now?" Bella ask sheepishly. Her eyes darted around for any eye witnesses. She did not want everyone talking about her true clumsy nature.
"Yeah. Thanks Bella." Edward smile warmly at her .
Bella suddenly realize that Edward Cullen was a nice looking guy. She was so use to seeing him around Rosalie that she just found him to be repulsive. Anyone who was dating or ever dated Rosalie made her skin crawl. The girl was a total bitch. How could anyone possibly desire that girl had to be truly certifiable or just a glutton for punishment in her book.
"No need to thank me. I mean hey I can hit you with the door again tomorrow if you like?" Bella teased. She was surprised at how her old sense of humor had pop up. Normally she would have just been very apologetic and then fled the scene of the crime.
"NO, no today was good enough for the week at least. Maybe we can plan for it this time next week." He offered as he laugh.
"Sounds like a plan." She smile back him.
The tardy bell rang loudly over their heads. Bella found herself sadden that their moment of chatter was over. She had to go to her next class and settle into her desk and listen to a teacher go on and on about another subject she had no interest in. She walk away swiftly as she heard the voices of kids approaching them. She knew that Edward would be in serious shit if Rosalie had caught her boyfriend talking to her. She fled to Chemistry where she sat in her desk and let out a loud sigh. The solitaire life had been okay until now. She sorta missed having someone to joke around with or just to talk to. She called her friends back home from time to time but it was not the same. She wonder how much longer she could keep up this façade of being a quiet and shy girl for? Back home she had been the life of the party. That was another reason she had got into so much trouble she reminded herself. Tears stung the back of her eye lids as she began to recall what was she doing this time last year. She had been with her friends hanging out. They had a blast together. Now she was in a town where you rarely saw the sun and no one here like her one bit. She hated this. She also knew on a deeper level she deserved this. After all had she not once been a little like Rosalie Rutherford? Had she not been one of the girls who chose who was in the "in" crowd and who was definitely never going to hang out with her. Yeah, karma was definitely a bitch.
"What goes around, comes around Bella." She whispered to herself as she flip open the workbook and began to work on the next project by herself.
"I'm telling you Alice he is not happy with me. I saw the way he look at her today." Miranda Rutherford whined as she pick up another tube of lipstick and tried it on. She was hoping to find a shade of red that would turn Jake inside out when he saw it on her lips. She had been dating Jake for nearly six months now. She knew he was crazy about her but she also feared that he still had a thing for her fraternal twin sister Rosalie. Rosalie always dated the hot guys. Jake was definitely one of the top two guys at their school.
Rosalie swore that she and Jake had only dated for three months back in her freshman year. She also told her sister that although he was hot he was just not her type. He was too much of a nice guy. Therefore she thought he was a perfect match for Miranda. Miranda knew that her polite compliment was really meant to be a insult to her unblemished reputation. Rosalie was no longer a virgin or a good girl. Miranda wish someday that Rosalie would wakeup and see just how cruel she had become.
"Please, Jake is not going to dump you for Rosalie. Dear God. That boat already set sail and came back obliterated." Alice laugh bitterly.
"Yeah, I know. I just…well…I know her and Edward are not doing so well. I heard them arguing again last night." Miranda confided as she look at Alice with concern.
"No surprise there. I mean two years now. Two." Alice place two fingers up.
"It was bound to fade." Alice continued.
"I know right. I mean I was shock it got to the one year marker when it comes to Rosalie." Miranda chuckle playfully.
"Seriously. The girl usually snatches them up and spits them out." Alice groaned.
She was growing accustom to Rosalie's spoiled attitude. Rosalie knew she was beautiful. She use it to her benefit anytime she could. Alice was no longer one of those people who thought there was no one prettier than Rosalie. She was sick of living a lie. She could barely tolerate her friend these days. Rosalie had been hurting everyone who came near her. It was like she was on some sort of bitch crusade. Alice did not want to be apart of that world anymore. It was one thing not to hang out with people who were not as cool or did not like the same things as she did but it was another entirely different matter when they just pick on people for being different. She knew she could not truly confide her turmoil to Miranda. Miranda was after all her fraternal twin sister. She was going to take Rosalie's side even if she knew it was wrong.
"So you think that because she is having problems she is going to suddenly turn on you and take your guy?" Alice watch Miranda's face and she saw that the ideal had clearly crossed Miranda's mind. It was sad. Alice could not believe that Rosalie's own sister feared her. Not feared in she was going to beat the crap out of her but feared that her sister could take anything away from her. Why did she have so much power over them? When did they let this happen exactly?
"No. Not really." Miranda replied flippantly but her tone said otherwise.
"Look just make sure you do not give Jake any reason to doubt your loyalty to him. That is how Rosalie separates couples. She knows their weaknesses." Alice revealed.
Alice had been friends long enough to know how Rosalie's mind work. She had even been responsible for helping Rosalie a few times breaking up happy couples so that she or Rosalie could take the guy. Alice felt sick to her stomach as she thought of her part in the schemes that had seem so funny back then but not so much now.
"Your right. Besides, hello, who else is there who is as hot as my guy?" Miranda smiled proudly.
Alice threw a polka dotted throw pillow at Miranda as she rolled her eyes.
Edward watch as his latest fling deep throated his member with so much excitement that he nearly spilled his seed in her mouth the moment she went down on him. She was definitely enthuse that he had given her the opportunity to give him a blow job. He was rather surprised at how easy it had been to seduce her into his bed when she knew clearly that he was not going to dump Rosalie for her. All the girls that he slept with knew this. Yet they were all happy to take off their clothes and spend a few hours of pleasure with him. It had been fun at first. In fact it had been down right amazing.
Now he was rather bored with the predicament. He wish he could find someone who was more challenging. He hated that his conquests were so easy and down right boring. What had happen to the old days when the girls feared Rosalie's wrath? What had happen to the times when they would plead with him to break up with Rosalie after they had sex. Now they just seem content with just being fucked by him. What had happen to these girls? Why did they lack self confidence or hell even self respect?
When she finished he handed her a towel to wipe away his seed from her swollen mouth. He then sat up on his bed and pick up the soda on the night stand. He took a few swallows before he let out a long exhale.
"You should go. Rosalie will be over soon." Edward inform her as he kissed her forehead.
He watch as she frown slightly before pulling herself up and off of his king size bed.
"Call me later." She called out as she strolled out of his room.
He just wave at her. Once she was gone he pull up his pants and zip them back up. He wish that Rosalie had more interest in sucking him off. Instead she was constantly bitching about how they never did anything nonsexual together anymore. All they did was go places so they could be seen together. Hell he could not remember the last time they had a heated make out session. The girl was definitely turning into a cold fish. He missed the fiery temptress she had been when they first started out in their relationship.
There was a time when she could not keep her hands off of him. She would come up with interesting and erotic new ways for them to experiment. Now he was lucky if she gave him a kiss with tongue. She was starting to look like a wall flower to him. He no longer saw the sexy hot teenager he once fell madly in love with. Now he just saw a spoilt little girl who thought everyone adored her. He no longer even had much interest in talking to her. She was always going on and on about herself or about what someone had said about her. It was like she thought the whole world evolved around her. He was sick of it. He was sick of her. He was sick of pretending they were this great couple when it was all a show.
He had no doubts that if there was someone more popular than him at their school she would have already dump his ass and move on. Luckily for him Jacob Black was seeing her twin sister, Miranda. He knew that Rosalie would not step on her own sister's happiness. She knew her parents would cream her ass if she hurt Miranda. After all Miranda was the sweet and smart one of the two. Rosalie did well enough in school but she was not about to go above and beyond for her teachers. She gave proficient work and nothing more. It was the same way she handle their relationship. She made sure to give him just enough attention so he could not accuse her of neglecting him.
Standing up he walk over to his desk. He pull out a pack of smokes he kept hidden there and lit up a cigarette. He knew she hated when he smoke but he just did not give a damn at the moment. It was not like she was going to be kissing him when she got here. She would no doubt want to discuss their campaign for Homecoming Queen and King.
He did not give a rats ass about that stupid competition. Rosalie did. Which meant he was suppose to as well. He was growing restless with her stupid mind games. He was not going to be her flunky anymore. He sure as hell was not going to be her trophy piece either. He had known for sometime now that she no longer loved him. In fact he wonder if she ever truly loved him at all? She never spoke the words in a sincere tone. She usually spoke them when she was trying to persuade him to do something for her or when she was in a good mood. He no longer heard those words and truly felt them.
He put the cigarette out just as his phone began to buzz. He suspected that she was in the driveway wondering if he was home. He had put his new car in the garage. His parents were out of town again.
"Hello." He said with a dry tone.
"Hey you. Let me in." Rosalie said with a cheery tone. He look at the empty room with a perplex stare. Did he want her here tonight? Did he truly want to deal with her bullshit?
"Sure." He groaned as he hung up the phone and walk downstairs to the front door. He told himself that he should let her in so they could discuss this stage in their stale relationship. He found pleasure in the thought of hurting her. He was tired of being on the receiving end of pain.
He open the door to find her wearing a purple nylon coat that went just above her knees. He frown at her. It was not like her to wear something so simple. She had her long curly hair up in a bun. He notice the six inch heels on her feet. He felt his stomach clench in a knot. Surely she was not here to seduce him. He felt a awkward pause between them as his eyes roam her body. She was definitely a hot little vixen when she wanted to be. Funny how that was not enough to turn him on. He knew the real girl underneath the image. She was a total bitch. She was not as beautiful once you got to know the real Rosalie Rutherford. She was cruel and cold as they came.
"Are you not going to let me in?" She pouted as she played with the ties that held the coat together.
He lean against the door frame considering his options. If she was here to finally sleep with him maybe he should let her. After all it would make dumping her afterwards even sweeter.
"By all means." He step back and smile cruelly behind her as he follow her up the stairs and to his room.
Jacob read the text message he received a hour earlier. He had been so wrap up in working on his truck he had not heard his phone. He hoped that Miranda did not go into panic mode. She was funny in that way. She would panic over the slightest thing. He could not convince her enough that he truly loved her. The girl was seriously in need of some self confidence.
Hey you! Whatcha doing?
Jacob text back.
Sorry. I was work n on truck.
He sat the phone back down on the front seat. He grab up a wrench as was about to walk back to the front of the truck when he heard it going off again.
When your not busy call me. Please. Luv ya
Jacob shook his head as he wore a silly smile on his face. He was lucky to have a girl as pretty as Miranda. He also like her sweet nature. She was the complete opposite of her fraternal twin. He was still shock that he had even gone out with Rosalie. She was definitely in the hot zone but other than that she was a nut case. When he learn that her sister was crazy about him he had kept his distance for awhile. He was afraid she was just like her.
Then one night after a football game her boyfriend had just broke up with her in front of her friends when he walk up on the scene. The guy was a real ass. He laugh as she cried. He had ended up punching the guy in the face. He got a week of ISS but he did not mind. The guy had it coming. When he was able to return to the rest of the school population she had swamp him with gifts and letters. He was so impressed with her sincere gratitude that he had ended up caving in and going out on a date with her.
He discovered quickly that unlike her sister she like to take things slow. She was a great girl. She was not as bright as most girls but she had such a sweet disposition that he could not help but fall for her. When they began to date more seriously he was surprised that Rosalie had felt the need to tell him she approved of his relationship with her sister. Like he cared. She was constantly trying to put her two cents in their business. He was growing tired of her constant mind games with Miranda. Unfortunately his girlfriend was blinded by her sister. Miranda could not see how Rosalie messed with her head so that she never saw herself as beautiful or as worthy as Rosalie. It made him want to hit a girl for the first time in his life.
Jacob went back to work on his truck. A hour later he put up all his tools. He step into the small house and clean himself up before he called Miranda. He prop himself up on his twin size bed. He hit speed dial and by the second ring she answered.
"Hey beautiful." His voice was husky.
"Hey Jake." She squealed with delight.
"Sorry I was busy earlier. I wanted to get in as much time as possible. With football season started the coach is going to keep me busy." Jake explain why he put his truck repairs before her.
"It's okay. I know how much you love that truck." Miranda teased.
"Honey I love you far more." Jacob inform her.
"Awww…I love you too." Miranda purred.
Jacob smiled tenderly as he pick up the silver metal frame picture of him and Miranda. They took it over this past summer. They had spent so much time together during the summer. He look forward to every morning because he knew he would see her. He regretted each night when they had to go their separate ways. He long for her constantly.
"So how is everything at your casa?" He ask curiously.
He could not explain it but he suspected that Edward and Rosalie were about to end their relationship. Edward had made a few comments over the past week that led him to believe that he was tired of Rosalie's reign over his life and his dick. Although Jacob knew that Edward had a few girls on the side to take care of his needs. He did not like that side of Edward. He had been raised that you were loyal to your girl until things came to a mutual ending. Still, it was none of his business. All he could do was worry about his own relationship. Although a small part of him worried how their breakup would affect his and Miranda's relationship. He had no doubts that Rosalie would want Miranda to hurt if she was hurting. She would not be happy that Miranda was in a healthy relationship. It was just like Rosalie to make everyone around her suffer.
"Okay so far. Rosalie left earlier today to go see Edward." Miranda confided as she chewed on her finger nail.
"Oh." Jacob felt a ominous sensation course through his body.
"Yeah, I'm a bit worried. She has been over there for like three hours now." Miranda explained.
"Maybe they are making love." Jacob teased.
Miranda made a gross sound at the thought of her sister sexually with anyone. Jacob did not know how Miranda had been raised so naïve while Rosalie was so jaded?
"Whatever!" Miranda laugh.
"So did you get all of your notes typed up for history class?" Jacob ask. He knew how OCD she was about her school work. It was one of the reasons she was in all of the gifted classes. She was strict on herself when it came to her school work. He was proud of her. He wish he had as much thrive for his academics as she did. Instead he work hard on his athletic abilities and let his academics stay average.
"Yeah. Mr. Brown is being such an ass about us staying on top of our notebooks. I mean he is doing a weekly check on it. I don't know why having a history notebook is so damn important." Miranda sighed.
"That's what you get for being so damn smart." He teased her playfully.
"You are smart too baby. You just don't push yourself." Miranda reprimanded him.
"I know. But hey I can play a bad game of football. Can you?" He joked.
"You got me there. I am a awesome cheerleader for you." Miranda reminded him.
"Yes you are. You know how to cheer for your man." Jacob grin reach his ears as he thought of her in the skimpy little cheerleading uniform.
"Only you baby." Miranda began to flirt. She knew she was teasing him. She like when they have verbal foreplay. She wanted to experiment more with him but beyond kissing and touching she was not prepare to go any further. She loved him but she wanted her first time to be really special. Her goal was to wait until marriage before she gave up her virginity. These days that goal did not seem to be sensible when she was dating a guy as hot as Jake.
"One night we need to go to the cove with you wearing just that uniform." He played along with her game.
"Only if you wear your sexy uniform. I love how those pants accent your thighs and tight ass." Miranda continue the game.
After a few minutes of playing around Jake found himself so stiff he wonder if he had blue balls. He was hurting so bad. He loved Miranda and was willing to wait for her but eventually if she did not help him release some of his stress he was going to go berserk.
"Shit. I hear Rosalie home. She just sped into the driveway." Miranda said with dread.
"So?" Jacob shrug.
"This can not be a good sign." Miranda explained.
"Oh." Jacob chewed on his lower lip fearing that his earlier premonition for the couple might have come true.
"Call you in the morning when I get up." Miranda stated swiftly as she heard the front door open and slam shut.
"Okay. Love you." Jake yawned.
"Love you too." Miranda made a kiss sound before hanging up.
Jacob plug his phone into the phone charger before setting his alarm. He had a early practice in the morning. He place the picture back on the night stand before he roll over and fell into a deep sleep.
Bella swore under her breathe as she put up the last dish. She would never understand why her new step mother, Brenda could not at least assist her with the dishes. The woman sat on her ass all day. Her father had got the position of Sheriff. Her step mother was an accountant. She work from the house. The least she could do was help out around the house. Instead Bella was expected to keep the kitchen clean and her bathroom. Bella put her foot down when her father discuss her doing the laundry. She reminded him she was only responsible for her own clothes. She could not fathom what he had seen in his new bride.
Sure she was cute but her personality was lacking as far as Bella could tell. She was constantly bitching about how small their home was. She hardly ever complimented her father. Instead Bella always heard Brenda stating how he should do this or that to be a better person. Why did she feel the need to change people? Were you not suppose to marry the person for who they were and not for how you could mold them? It made Bella look at the thought of matrimonial bliss in a a whole new perspective.
Slipping quietly up to her room she closed the door and turn the lock. She did not want anyone bothering her while she had some quiet time to herself. She pick up her ipod and turn the music on while she plan out her clothes for tomorrow. She grab a pair of jeans and a cute little t-shirt. Then plopping down in her chair she open her lap top. She scan her email real quick. Most of it was old mail. Then she sent off a few replies before she walk over to her bed. Laying on top of the blanket she listen to the music.
Sorry by Buck Cherry played in her ears. She knew the entire song by heart. James had dedicated it to her the last night they spent together.
Oh I had a lot to say was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me want to die
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue, I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds, and baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry:
This time I think I'm to blame it's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame
Bella allowed herself to remember his face when she announced to him that she was moving in with her father. He had been so pissed. He had insisted that he could persuade her mother to let her stay. She had refused. She explained that it was too late. She had seriously fuck up things this time. He was not happy. In fact he had been so mad he had put a hole in the wall. Bella had been so frighten. She knew at that moment she had made the right decision to leave.
Not only had she gotten in a lot of trouble with school, the authorities, James was her worse mistake. The problem with James was he was good looking, older and had a reckless side. He did not care who he pissed off. He had began to rub off on her. He also had a scary angry side. He had never hit her but she had seen him do some serious damage in a few fights she had watch. She never wanted to be on his bad side.
Then there was the other side of James that could make any girl deliriously happy. He could be so sweet when he wanted to be. He knew exactly what to say. He was smooth as a baby's ass. Bella knew that he loved her. She loved him too. But to keep a guy like that you had to eventually have sex with him. Bella was not ready for that point in their relationship. Her gut instincts always told her that if she went that far with him he would be even more possessive of her. He knew she was a virgin. In fact she often thought that was why he claim her as his girl out of all of her other friends. He wanted to be her first and only lover.
James was a substantial reason she got in trouble with the authorities. James had a thing about cops. He hated them. He was often in trouble. Luckily he had a father who bail him out. James had persuaded her to believe that his sneaking in to the principals office and changing some grades would be a funny thing. He was a Senior while she was a sophomore. She knew that the Seniors every year pulled off something hilarious or risky act to leave their mark before they graduated.
He swore they would never know her involvement. So she manage to get him the principals password. She knew Principal Burke's granddaughter. They cheer together. The girl was a complete idiot and believed just about anything you told her. So when Bella told her she just wanted to see if her GPA was as high as she was told Sydney handed her the password that she had stolen. Then there was her part in making sure that the janitor left his office unlock while she and a few friends flirted with him while James and his buddy snuck inside. When the reports went out and every student at Baker High had a hundred on all of their reports Mr. Burke was furious as hell. His job was on the line and the security of the school's computer system was questioned. So Bella was threaten with expulsion, kick off the squad, and would be force to attend summer school. It was a no brainer when Renee inform her she could accept these consequences or move in with her father. She took the out.
Her parents inform her that she could return her Senior year if her record came back clean. The school administration agreed to those terms. She was pissed at first but while she spent her entire summer alone here she began to look back at her actions. She had been a total jerk. She had mistreated her friends. She had taken her life for granted. She had indeed played a horrible joke on her principal and the teachers. She had allowed peer pressure to affect her better judgment.
She pray that she could just tolerate Brenda for a entire year. It seem that was her only true obstacle at the moment. If life ever slack up on her then she would survive this year. She would be a better person for it. If not, well, her life was definitely going to be a lot harder.
