Chapter 1: The Martini Blues
"No, I'm going to Jacob's to pick up my bag. Yeah, yeah. I'll see you soon." Bella said hurriedly in her phone, walking on Fifth Avenue in New York, to her boyfriend's apartment.
While currently walking and attempting to put her phone away in her pocket, she stumbled over the thought wishing that she remembered her bag from her date with her boyfriend, Jacob. Bella has been dating Jacob for two years now, since meeting during the end of college. Bella fell in love with Jacob instantly, and he did the same. Jacob and Bella decided to have a night in, hence her losing her bag. She was in a rush to meet her best friend Alice, at the bridal shop to help her pick out her wedding dress. The wedding was 5 months away, and Alice insisted of getting the perfect dress on this very day. Bella rolled her eyes knowing that her little pixie friend, chose this day to irritate her. Bella was too exhausted, but not too exhausted for her little pixie friend, who she had to please. Alice didn't care that Bella was exhausted, so Bella was on beck and call for the little pixie.
Meetings were crammed in the early morning and Bella was half asleep during all of them. She wished she had her bag with her the whole time, but she knew she couldn't wake up her boyfriend that early. She knew he would get cranky at her, so she didn't even attempt.
Bella picked up her phone again and dialed the familiar number. "Hey baby, I guess you're not at your phone right now, so I'm coming over to pick up my bag," Bella chuckled. "I know you're not home, so I didn't want you to freak if you came home while I was there, and hit me with the baseball again," Bella laughed at the poor memory of going into his apartment without any warning. "I love you. Bye,"
Bella recalled the memory when she went into Jacob's apartment without any warning. She went in there to drop off some food she made the night before for Jacob's football party and Bella wanted to be prepared for the boring event. She was still questioning herself of why she wanted to attend the football party. She found the extreme sport very boring, but in her defense, she wanted to make Jacob happy. About 3 minutes after she went into his apartment, she didn't notice that Jacob was sneaking behind her, with a metal baseball bat. Jacob didn't know Bella from her backside, which was unfortunate on her behalf. Jacob swung it, and missed her head in the process. Instead, it hit her ass. Bella screamed, and turned and was in shock when she the murderous object in his buff hands. Jacob started to feel terrible and he made it up to her, buying her an expensive tiffany bracelet.
Bella shook the distranged memory from her thoughts and ran across the street to Jacob's building. The building he lived in was only three stories high, with luxurious apartments. Bella found it home, and hopefully someday she would find herself living with Jacob soon. Bella thought of the memory of little Jacob and Bella's running around the huge apartment. She was currently thinking of a plan to make that dream happen. Bella climbed up the steps and stepped in the building and smiled to the elderly woman that lived across from him.
"Hello dear,"
"Hey, Mrs. George." Bella smiled at the sweet old woman, who treated her like she was her own granddaughter.
"Lovely day, isn't it?"
"It is," Bella giggled refereeing to her now messy brown curls that lay atop her head.
Bella smiled and unlocked his door, sighing in relief she would have her bag. Bella closed the door behind her and saw her big brown bag on his table. Bella smiled and hugged her bag to her chest. Her bag was a Ralph Lauren that Alice got her for her 21st birthday last year. Bella, at first, was pissed that Alice would spend 2 grand for a purse. Alice literally slapped her and told her to accept the present. Bella learned to love the purse and couldn't be without it. As she turned to open the door, she heard unfamiliar noises coming down the hall.
Bella raised her eyebrow, confused, and cautiously walked down the hall. Maybe there was robber? Bella started feeling the worry in her veins and picked up a knife that lay on the table in the hall. Luckily, Bella was wearing her uggs and not heels, knowing that the heels would attract the attention. She praised herself for changing her shoes once she got home. She stuck the knife out and tiptoed. She realized it was coming from the bedroom, and it was opened enough, for Bella to peek inside.
Bella looked in, and to her horror she gasped and flung her free hand to her mouth. On the bed, was Jacob, thrusting into a blonde who was below him. She was moaning and groaning and he returned the favor.
"FUCK! Go harder!" The blonde screamed.
Jacob went faster and faster, "Yes! Ugh! You like that?"
Bella felt like she was stabbed straight in the heart. How could he do this to her? Bella did attend to his every need and pleasure, and this is how he betrays her? Bella felt the tears pouring out and kept hearing the sounds of sex going on in the bed that Bella has slept in many times. Bella felt disgusted and violated. Knowing she couldn't take it anymore, she opened the door hard enough and it banged against the wall, knocking down three pictures in the process. She was so livid; she couldn't give a fuck at that very moment.
Jacob stopped and turned around, his eyes bulging out of his head.
"You know, Jacob, you are a sick bastard." Bella sneered.
The blonde scrammed from under Jacob, flashing her breasts, and wrapped a sheet around her.
"And honey, you better watch you're fucking back. Jacob doesn't do sloppy seconds." Bella said coldly and turned to Jacob. "I hope you enjoy the STD's that slut gives you. You will never have my pussy again, that's for sure." Bella turned and picked up a couple of glass shards and threw them at Jacob. "Fuck you."
Bella turned on her heel, and stomped out of his apartment. Bella heard Jacob's cries for forgiveness behind her, but she was so pissed, she couldn't process of what he was actually saying to her. Stepping out of his apartment building into the cold air, angry tears streamed down her face and the cold air just made it worse. Bella gasped a few times, trying to catch her breath.
Bella never felt so betrayed before. Jacob showed that he loved her from day one. Was there other sluts too that Jacob banged behind her back! Was he infected with STD's and HIV? Bella felt the vile in her throat and pushed it back, disgusted at herself for not figuring it out. Jacob's and Bella's sex life was pretty good; so what was missing? She figured it out. Jacob, in the past two months, felt very distant and not very responsive as he was. Bella spent a lot more time in her apartment with her cat, Peyton instead of relaxing in his apartment, most of the time, as she normally does. He claimed that work was being an ass, but no, he was fucking the slut that was in his bed.
Bella groaned and walked down the street, not caring if she was late to Alice's affair. As she was thinking this, her phone chimed, signaling a new text message.
WHERE R YOU? I've been waiting forever! I'm getting impatient, Swan! – A
Bella rolled her eyes at her friend freaking out, but she couldn't keep her waiting or she will have her head.
I'll be there in 10 min. Make sure they have a bunch of booze there. I need it. – B
Bella typed out the message, referring to the cheap champagne that the bridal shop had. Bella thought the wine was disgusting and vile and refused to drink it, but at this moment, she really needed it.
-TJB-
After Alice screeched at her for five minutes on after she walked in the door, Bella drowned 2 glasses of wine in those mere 5 minutes. She was hoping the crappy wine gave an affect and that it would wash the terrible moments from before. Bella zoned out while Alice was lecturing at her about being on time. She couldn't care less at the moment, but she knew she couldn't escape the wrath of her best friend, even as much as drinking so much liquor.
"Bella! Are listening to me?" Yelled the pixie.
"Yes! God, do you see me looking at you?" Bella snapped back.
Alice rolled her eyes. "If you weren't so late, maybe I wouldn't be yelling at you right now!"
"And maybe if you had patience, I wouldn't be sitting here, you yelling at me!" Bella snapped back.
Alice huffed and puffed and put her hands on her hips. Alice was currently in a white dress that flowed to her feet. Alice looked like she was going to tear apart the dress, from all the scolding she was doing. Bella drowned another glass, feeling the affect. Alice was a complete mess due to the stress of the wedding. Alice always bugged Bella, which always confused Bella, considering the wedding was far away. Her fiancé, Jasper, proposed to Alice only two weeks ago. Alice insisted she started planning right away.
"Bella, what the hell? That's your fourth glass!" Alice said, shockingly.
"I know," Bella groaned, rubbing her forehead.
"Something is up. Spill," Alice raised her eyebrows through the mirror while the tailor was fixing her seem on the dress.
Bella was thinking of how to start this awkward conversation. Once Alice found out of what the bastard did to her, Alice would go on a rampage and she knew it would cause more stress for the little tinker bell pixie.
"You know when I said that I was going to Jacob's?" Bella said nervously.
"Yeah…" Alice responded in a "duh" tone.
"Well, I saw a surprise, in his bed." Bella bit her lip nervously, just wanting to get it over with.
"Oooo! Lingerie?" Alice squealed, her mood changing. Bella raised her eyebrows, knowing that Alice was bipolar.
"Um. Not that…" Bella trailed.
"Tell me!" Alice smiled and looked behind at her.
Bella bit her lip and looked down to twirl her ring on her middle finger. Bella hadn't thought this over of how to tell her best friend that her boyfriend cheated on her. Alice always told Bella that Jacob seemed suspicious over the last two months, but Bella didn't listen to her. Bella was going to get more lectured from her friend, and she knew she wouldn't escape it then. Bella decided to tell her lightly, thinking that Alice maybe won't huff and puff over it in the store. Bella didn't feel like getting embarrassed from her hyper friend in a very exclusive store.
"Jacob cheated on me. And I caught him," Bella blurted. Bella mentally face palmed herself for blurting it. Way to do it lightly, Swan!
The smile dropped from Alice's perfect face and madness crossed it. "WHAT?" Alice moved to look at her friend. "MOTHER FUCKER!" Alice screeched from the needle poking in her skin. The tailor looked mortified and backed up from Alice's wrath. "That son of a bitch!"
"My thoughts exactly. I gave him everything!" Bella justified, knowing it was a cheesy response. She was too livid to give a witty response.
"He's a lousy bastard! I hope he dies from the sex diseases the slut gives him," Alice pounced off the podium and paced the room.
Bella watched her over stressed friend stomping around the room, ranting and shouting curse words. Bella took the very moment to pour her another glass of wine and she chugged half of it. The workers in the store looked pretty mortified of the bride-to-be stomping around and shouting. Alice took the wine from the table next to Bella, and chugged the rest of it down. Alice looked at it and smashed it across the table.
"What the fuck?" Bella asked and stood up; knowing the contents of the wine would get all over her work clothes.
"I told you that bastard was acting suspicious over the past two months! And guess what? You didn't listen to me!" Alice exclaimed, waving her arms around like she was a lunatic.
Bella bit her lip, the tears threatening to fall again. She felt the sympathy for her best friend, wishing that she could calm her down. Bella didn't want to deal with the grudge of Alice being right. She felt like an idiot, not believing her best friend that her boyfriend was a lying, cheating bastard.
"Alice! Please, calm down," Bella said soothingly. The staffs currently in the tiny store were getting irritated over her little scene.
"How can you be calm about this? I am the one freaking out," Alice whined.
"I don't feel like getting charged for damaging a store," Bella put her hands on her narrow hips.
Alice stepped back from Bella and put her hands on her face. Bella saw the realization sketched her face. Bella sighed and put her hands on her hips. First she had to deal with Jacob cheating on her and Alice acting like a lunatic on drugs. She couldn't take the pressure from both, hoping the booze will still be in effect.
"Fuck," Alice whispered. "I'll pay for the wine."
"You better," The manager of the store said with a dirty look on her plastic face.
"Meet me at Lucy's at eleven? Have martini's on the table." Bella said, looking at Alice and turned on her heel and left the store.
-TJB-
Bella looked at her outfit once more. She felt like going out and getting wasted and forgetting all of the events that happened earlier before. Bella shook the thoughts from her head examining what she looked like. She wore a black multi gathered bust triangular cut top. The top had multi purple swirls on it with some yellow. The material was silk and Bella fingered it for a moment, approving of what she saw. She wore black skinny jeans with black high boots. She felt sexy. And independent. And plus, she felt like one of those chicks hoping to forget everything from her ass ex boyfriend. Bella sighed once again, hoping tonight that from drinking and smoking would eliminate the issue. She knew that Alice would approve of her outfit and feed her drink after drink. Bella felt her cheek wet and looked up in the mirror again in her huge bedroom.
Bella wiped the stray tear from her eye and then her cheek. Bella removed the ring from her pinky finger that Jacob gave to her for her birthday. Jacob surprised her with the ring a minute before her birthday, saying that's one of the last things she wanted to remember on the joyous holiday. She re applied her make – up and sighed into the mirror.
Bella looked behind on her bed and saw her cat, Peyton, curled up in a ball, sleeping. Bella got the sweet kitty about a year ago. She was a little kitten then, and she still acted like a person on drugs. Peyton was always hyper and Bella enjoyed Peyton. Jake was disgusted that she would get a cat and not a guard dog. Bella shook her head at Jake, a little pissed that he wouldn't accept the poor little cat.
"You can do this. Forget about him," She closed her eyes and breathed.
15 minutes later, she walked through the glass doors of her favorite pub, Lucy's. Bella scanned through the crowded pub. It was a Saturday night, so Bella expected this. Her brown eyes landed on the girl with the spiky hair that was seated at the bar. Bella smiled and walked over to her best friend.
"Bella! Damn, you look fabulous." Alice smiled and patted the seat next to her. Bella took this moment to accept and sat down next to her and eyed the apple martini in front of her.
Bella looked at Alice, eyeing her outfit. Bella felt like a troll next to her glamorous friend. She wore a red strip sweater dress. It was pretty thin and Bella could see the black bra through the red and gray. She didn't wear any jeans; so her gray knee length boots would replace the jeans. Bella always thought Alice looked good and Alice did spend so much money for her wardrobe each season.
"This is what I need right now," Bella groaned and took a sip of the strong liquor drink.
"I agree," Alice rolled her eyes referring to her little scene in the bridal shop.
"You were pretty nuts." Bella agreed to Alice's thoughts and tried to choke back a laugh.
"I think we all know who the fucked up one now is." Alice mumbled and took a sip of her martini. Bella was taken back from Alice's comment. She knew that Alice was right, why did she have to throw it in her face?
"Don't be a bitch." Bella snapped and looked at Alice.
"It's not my fault you didn't listen to me…" Alice trailed off, raising her eyebrows.
"Are you seriously going to let it go? Because if you aren't, I'm leaving you, and you're going to have to pay for this drink." Bella said a little more coldly then she intended.
Alice just simply rolled her eyes and took another sip of her drink. Bella turned in her seat and scanned the crowd. On the dance floor, girls were grinding against men and even girls were grinding and kissing. Bella shook her head and felt the envy of the couples out there. She wanted to feel Jacob's touch, but she knew that she would never give him another chance.
Bella decided that she had to have a good time with her best friend and not sulk over the messy break up. She would let the liquor affect her and then for the next three weeks or so, she would let herself drown in tears. Bella scanned the crowd once more and got bored of what she saw. She turned around and decided to drown her worries in chain of martinis.
Two or three hours passed. Bella didn't keep track but she decided it felt like three hours because Alice kept Bella busy the whole time. Alice kept babbling about her wedding. Alice started to get emotional, and Bella knew it was from the martinis and cosmos drunken in the past few hours. Alice already spent about 60 dollars on drinks and Bella only spent 20.
"Let's dance," Alice decided and dragged Bella to the dance floor.
Bella happily agreed, knowing that she didn't have to hear Alice babble anymore. Alice took Bella's hand and moved it about. The song was very upbeat and Bella got lost into the song very easily.
I`m just a girl...
I`m innocent
Come take my hand
I`ll show you the world of my own
You're just a boy ...
Who makes me weak who takes my sleep
I need you to dance the night away
Bella swiveled her hips and shaked her head to the beat. Alice put her hands in the air and shook them. Bella giggled at her friend's drunken movements, but Bella knew she felt buzzed from all the alcohol. Bella didn't feel anything; so she assumed she felt it too. But, at this very moment, she was thirsty for shaking her hips to the beat.
I can't stand it anymore now baby
The music makes me feel so crazy
So come on and take my hand
And I`ll show you the way to dance
Bella felt herself getting lost in the beat with the intense dance movements she was doing. She felt so many pairs of eyes on her, suddenly thriving for the attention. She just couldn't give a fuck at this very moment and kept getting lost in the song. Alice put her hands on her knees and shook her head around and around. Bella took the very moment and laughed at her friend.
And again and again
I need that feeling
Cause baby I know I`m not dreaming
So come on and take my hand
And I`ll show you to promise land
After the song was finished; Bella kept moving. She felt hands on her hips and twirled around to see who the stranger was. Bella found a pair of brown eyes. The stranger was tall and his hair was shaggy blonde with a hint of brown. Bella thought he was gorgeous and he must have felt the same about her.
"You're name," The stranger purred.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out," Bella winked.
"Hm, what a shame. You're such a beautiful lady."
"Wow, what a compliment." Bella giggled and turned to start dancing again.
Bella kept on dancing and not paying attention to everyone around her. Alice started grinding on Bella and she pushed her away. Alice just giggled and stumbled over in a few people surrounding them. Bella shook her head in disbelief and kept dancing to the song.
Bella got a little annoyed with the stranger who grabbed her hips. She felt his breath on her neck and his raging hard-on on her leg. Bella mentally gagged and rolled her eyes. The liquor didn't make her stupid when it came to this situation. Bella tried to escape from his grasp, but he kept a firm grip. Bella softly gasped in annoyance when he attached his lips to her neck. Bella grinned and decided on her next action.
"You know, I think I will tell you my name," Bella turned around and grinned wickedly.
"Really?" He smirked.
"Mhm…" Bella got closer. "Don't fuck with me," Bella whispered in his ear and kneed him in the balls.
"Fuck!" he groaned and bended over in pain.
Bella turned to Alice and she was laughing non-stop. Bella smirked and put her hands on her hips. Bella felt happy and walked off the dance floor without a second glance to the stranger.
Ooh, I'm overdue
Gimme some room
I'm coming through
Paid my dues
In the mood
Me and my girls gonna shake the room
DJ's spinning (show your hands)
Let's get dirrty (that's my jam)
I need that, uh, to get me off
Sweat'n til my clothes come off
Bella's eyes fell on the front door. A blonde, about 6 feet tall, walked in with her friend. Bella knew she saw her somewhere; and she tried remembering where. The blonde had long curly hair and she was gorgeous. She wore a black, sequined tank top with dark jeans and high heel fuck me pumps. Bella just kept watching, feeling like a stalker at this moment. She felt like an idiot for watching; but she just had to know.
"Whatcha doing?" Alice slurred behind her.
Bella didn't respond, she just kept looking. The blonde was looking over the room and her bright blue eyes fell on her. She simply smirked at Bella's facial expression and walked away. The light went off in her head.
"I know her," Bella whispered sadly.
"Who?" Alice raised her eyes in question.
"The blonde… She's the girl that Jacob was screwing when I walked in on." Bella responded lowly with some sadness in it.
"Oh my god! That bitch!" Alice screeched and took a long drink of her pink cosmo.
"It's not worth it anymore," Bella whispered. "I'm gonna go take a smoke. I'll be right back, ok?"
"Ok. Hurry up your ass. Another round of drinks is in order!" Alice thrilled and galloped off to the bar.
Bella walked out of the smoky pub and walked a little ways down the street. She leaned across the wall and breathed in the fresh air. She felt better stepping out of the pub. Bella could smell herself coming off in waves. She smelt like liquor and smoke. Bella dug through her pocket and took out the lighter and cigarette. She lit up the cancer stick, the light reflecting in the cold, night air. Bella started shivering, running her free hand against her arm. She wished she had a jacket, but for now, she could do without.
Bella sighed and looked up toward the entrance of the pub. The blonde she saw 5 minutes before, walked out alone. The blonde ran her fingers through her hair and looked up. Bella rolled her eyes and looked down again, taking another drag. Bella wanted to cry and hide away from the world. Bella felt the sadness rush through her like a tidal wave. The cigarette didn't help her calm down one bit like Bella was wishing it would. Bella felt a tear again running down her flushed cheeks. She quickly wiped it away before she really broke up in tears.
Bella heard a heel clicking down the sidewalk. Bella could feel her neck hairs going up from the feeling she was getting. She tensed up even more and looked up. She saw the blonde walking towards her with a boring facial expression. Bella started getting worried, her heart beating faster with each step the blonde took.
"You," The blonde smirked.
"Yes, me." Bella responded and stepped on the cigarette bud. "Have anymore boyfriends to fuck?"
"Funny. The last time I checked, your ex boyfriend loved fucking me." The blonde's lips turned into a smile.
"I won't be paying the medical bills once he gets affected with STD's." Bella smiled back.
"You'll never get him back," The blonde whispered.
"You can keep him," Bella rolled her eyes and started to walk away.
"I'm not finished with you yet," The blonde placed her hand on Bella and pulled her backwards.
Bella jerked back; the intensity of her anger firing up. Bella looked at her, her eyes filled with venom. Bella tried to not give the bitch the satisfaction in the first place by slapping her. The blonde just had her hands on her hips. She was smiling like she won the lottery. She was winning. Bella knew she couldn't let her win, so she tried to leave again.
"Didn't you hear me?" The blonde stressed and pulled her back again.
"Stop touching me!" Bella yelled and escaped her grip.
"Not until you listen to me," The blonde pointed a manicured finger in her face.
"Why do I have to listen to you? You caused me enough damage," Bella snapped.
The blonde scoffed and got a little closer to Bella. Bella started getting angrier at the minute. Why can't that bitch get a clue? She didn't feel like fighting her. It was pathetic and useless on the blonde's behalf to fight her.
"Jacob has been fucking me for the past three months. He never wanted a girl like you. You'll never compare, that's what he told me. So give up now," The blonde whispered in Bella's ear.
Bella's eyes widened from her words. Her heart felt like it was coming out of her chest. Was there such thing as being hospitalized for a broken heart? Bella silently answered her question knowing she would be the first. Bella's eyes filled with tears as she backed away from the blonde. Bella wiped her eyes, her hands with the residue from her mascara. Bella's hands also started shaking and she looked at them while she trembled. She felt like such an idiot for letting the blonde get to her. But, she had to do what she wanted to do.
"Fuck you," Bella spat and slapped the blonde across the face. Bella suddenly felt terrible for giving in. Bella gasped loudly from doing it and her hand flung to her mouth in shock. She knew the blonde would probably hurt her, but Bella was uncontrollable at this moment. Bella would never hurt anyone, even how pissed she was. Bella wanted to say sorry to the blonde, but she knew it was no use. It would give the blonde more of a motivation to hurt Bella back by Bella feeling sorry for her actions.
The blonde gasped, her face red from Bella's hand hitting her face. "You shouldn't have done that." The blonde spitted out. Her hand came in contact to Bella's cheek and scratched across her face, her long nails coming across the soft skin.
"Oh my god!" Bella screeched and her hand went to her face, feeling the warm liquid oozing from the scratch. She had enough of this blonde bimbo patronizing her. Bella took both of her hands and shoved her as hard as she could.
"Ugh!" The blonde had the word spilling from her lips. She fell straight on her ass, while Bella was smiling in triumph. Bella took the moment and started fast walking away from her; knowing she couldn't run in her boots. She heard the blonde run after her 3 seconds later, but Bella was faster than her. Bella cursed herself for the blonde being so fast on her feet.
Bella could hear the blonde getting closer. Bella started to walk faster, knowing the blonde would be hot on her heels soon. Bella looked around the area, the place wasn't being crawled by people considering of how late it was. Bella went in the dark, creepy alley right next to the pub. She instantly regretting knowing it was a dead end at the end of the street.
Bella put her hand right next on the scratch on her face. It stung, but Bella couldn't focus on the pain. She felt the dry blood on it, and she tried to wipe away some, even though it hurt a lot. Bella heard the heels and she quickly turned around, gasping. She felt like she was in a horror movie being chased by a murderer. But, except, she was getting chased from a blonde bimbo was screwed her ex behind her back for three months.
Bella tried to run quickly as she could to find a hiding spot. Unfortunately, there were two big trash bins right by the back entrance. Bella smiled loudly and tried to push open the doors that leaded through the pub's kitchen. Bella tried to open it, but it was locked. Bella cursed to herself and tried to think of another plan.
"Come back, you bitch! You will pay for this!" The blonde screeched in the darkness.
Bella heard the blonde's heels getting closer, but she knew she couldn't see Bella through the thickness of the darkness. Bella scanned what was on the side of her for some weapon before the blonde actually murdered her. Sighing in frustration, Bella went out in the street and saw the blonde looking around. Bella took a deep breath and prepared for what she was about to do.
"Right here," Bella said in a dull tone.
The blonde spun around, grinning like she won Miss America. "Oh there you are. You scared?" The blonde said in a babyish tone.
"No?" Bella put her hands up in mock.
The blonde rolled her eyes. "You will pay for ruining my 700 dollars jeans."
Bella rolled her eyes. Why the fuck would anyone pay 700 dollars for a fucking pair of jeans? Did it make her ass look better? "I don't own you shit."
"Um, yes you do." The blonde said, like Bella was stupid.
"Look, I don't want to fight," Bella said quickly.
The blonde stepped closer to Bella, "You're giving up? Like Jacob gave up on your relationship? Well, if you give up now, I can go home to Jacob and he'll be in our bed, waiting for me." She smiled.
Bella could feel the sadness creeping up on her again. She let her win. She couldn't possibly beat that slut at her own game. Bella closed her eyes and sighed and opened them again. Bella started feeling angrier again. Bella got closer.
"You have hell to pay," Bella whispered and slapped the blonde again.
The blonde stepped three steps back, her hand going straight to her face. The blonde reacted immediately and attacked Bella. Luckily, Bella was wearing 4 inch heel boots, and she kicked the blonde in the stomach. She stumbled back and fell on her ass.
"You are such a slut!" Bella said, mocking the blonde's voice.
Bella towered over the blonde and yanked her hair and dragged the blonde to her knees. "Fuck you. You stole my boyfriend." Bella slapped her face again and the blonde tried to scratch her hands free with her nails. The blonde's face actually look frightened, but it didn't stop her from trying to break free.
Bella had tears streaming down her face, wishing life could go back to normal. She yanked her hair again pulling the blonde by her knees. The blonde grabbed a hold of Bella's legs and pushed her down to the knees so they were eye leveled. The blonde growled and pushed her to the ground attacking every inch she could get a hold of. Bella was stunned by how she could snap back so easily.
"Ugh! You bitch!" The blonde screeched and hit Bella's face over and over again.
Bella just sighed and took the beatings from the blonde. Bella knew she lost the fight before it even started. She felt like a hussy for letting it go on this long. Bella opened her eyes and the blonde had venom dripping from her blue eyes. Bella pushed her off, the blonde stumbling back. Bella's lips trembled and she punched the blonde in the nose, with a sickening crunch.
"Oh fuck! MY NOSE!" The blonde screeched and blood was oozing from her fake nose.
"Tanya?" Bella heard a voice behind her.
Bella gasped, turning around and saw the brunette that was with Tanya before. Bella walked away slowly, seeing that Tanya was still crying and holding her nose. The brunette ran from hearing Tanya's screams.
"What the fuck?" The brunette gasped in horror from seeing Tanya's beaten up face.
"Um…" Bella stammered.
"You," The brunette spat and turned to Bella. "You did this?"
"It was an accident,"
"This was an accident?" Tanya screeched. "My nose is ruined, thanks to you!"
"You're the one who egged this on! Not me! So don't play the blaming game," Bella scolded.
"You will pay for her nose, you know!" Tanya's friend screamed.
"Ugh, Kate, call the fucking cops!" Tanya responded.
"No, not the cops." Bella's eyes widened.
"You're going to get arrested for this, you ass hole!" Kate said coldly and got her phone out of her purse.
Bella was speechless and just looked between Tanya, who was holding her bloody nose while crying and Kate who was speaking to the cops on her phone. Bella put her head in her hands, crying of high frustration. Kate screaming in the phone didn't help the oncoming headache Bella was experiencing. She wondered if Alice noticed she's been gone for then 20 minutes. Maybe Alice consumed three more cosmos in the last 20 minutes and didn't even notice that she was gone.
Alice would probably kick Kate's and Tanya's ass in 3 seconds flat. Alice was little, but she could kick ass. Bella snuck out her almost damaged phone and texted Alice real quick.
Out in the alley by the pub. Help. Two bitches are calling the cops on me. – B.
Bella sent the text and put her phone away before both noticed she even had her phone out. Kate was still screaming and Tanya got up and cried on Kate's shoulders. What cry babies, Bella thought to herself and rolled her eyes. Bella looked at the mouth of the alley and didn't see anyone in sight. After three minutes passed, Kate hung up the phone and looked at Bella with angry written across her face.
"The cops will be here in five minutes. You better scrape up your salary now." Kate spat and started walking toward the street with Tanya in her grasp.
Bella followed both girls closely behind, knowing if she tried to escape, it wouldn't help. Kate was stroking Tanya's blonde, dirty hair. Kate whispered to Tanya and she replied by taking her hand off her nose. Kate gasped in horror and disgust from the sight. Tanya's nose was all bloody and her nose was also shaped to the side. Tanya started crying more and bystanders started asking her if she was ok. Kate shot me a look and people looked straight over at Bella. Bella's mouth went in shock when she saw the blue and red lights in the distance.
15 minutes later, Bella was implanted on the side of the police car, getting handcuffed. Bella groaned and started shaking. Bella turned and saw Alice running out of the doors.
"What the hell? Bella?" Alice screamed.
"Call Phil, ok?" Bella stammered.
"Bella, oh my god." Alice put her hands to her head.
"Just call Phil and tell him I'm in jail, and I need bail." Bella said while she was getting shoved in the police car.
5 minutes later, Bella was getting escorted in the police station. Bella looked around, feeling out of place. Her wrists started hurting from the handcuffs scratching her against her skin. The police officer had his hand on her shoulder, walking her to the back. Bella sighed and felt the handcuffs coming off. Bella reacted and started rubbing her wrists, trying to smooth them.
"Here you go," The police officer said and pushed her in the cell and slammed the door shut and locked it before walking away.
Bella grabbed on the bars and saw the officer walk away. Bella felt like one of those whores you saw in a jail cell when a pretty rich girl got arrested for trying to steal make up from a cheap drug store. Bella turned around and her eyes landed on the guy sitting in the back. He was the only one in there, instead of Bella. His hair was bronze and messy. He looked tall because his legs were much longer then hers. The guy was staring back at her. His eyes were green and he was gorgeous. Bella gasped softly at how beautiful he was.
"Can I help you?" The stranger said in a thick British velvet accent.
"Um… no," Bella said softly and sat down at the end of the bench.
"What the fuck is wrong with your face?" He spat.
"Wow, thanks," Bella shot daggers at him. "I was born this way, thank you very much."
The stranger scoffed. "I didn't mean that, you bloke. I meant the nasty scratch on your face."
Bella laughed softly at her idiot accusing. "I got into a fight with a slut,"
The stranger smiled hugely, liking her response. Maybe he thought she was an accomplice for a murder or she stole lip gloss from the walk in Walgreens. Bella looked at the hot stranger in front of her; he didn't look older than 22.
"Nice," He grinned. He had nice perfect teeth and an amazing smile.
"What did you do?" Bella said and gripped the bench with her sore hands.
"Hm, I got caught vandalizing," He said while he nodded his head.
"Vandalizing what?" Bella asked, her eyebrows raised.
"I was spray painting right by the highway," He softly laughed.
"Oh," Bella giggled.
Bella leaned her head against the cold surface of the wall. She sighed and closed her eyes. Hopefully, by now, Alice has called Phil, her step father that lived 30 minutes away from the pub. Bella knew Phil would give her shit about the fight, but Bella couldn't stop her actions from beating that bitch up. Bella was silently praying that Tanya learned her lesson and leave Bella alone.
Bella looked outside of the cell. There was a woman who was sleeping on the bench, even a girl, who looked 15, was wearing a short skirt and a tank top that showed half her stomach. Bella's mouth dropped at the girl and thought, why would parents raise girls like that. Bella looked at the clock and it read 3:30 AM. Bella groaned softly and rubbed her head.
"Oh shit, my work," Bella stood up straight.
"You're work?" The stranger asked.
"Yeah, my work. They are going to make me donate an arm and a leg to keep it once they find out about this."
"That sucks," He chuckled.
"Don't you have a job?" Bella looked over at him.
"No. But, I'm looking for one."
"As what?"
"A musician. I like to sing one a week. But, I want a full job singing at a pub or something," He responded, his accent getting thicker.
"That's nice," Bella giggled.
"What's your name?" He asked, changing the subject.
"Isabella. Call me Bella though." Bella smiled.
"Bella? Beautiful name for a beautiful girl," He smiled a crooked smile. "I'm Edward."
"Nice to meet you Edward, even though this is odd meeting you here."
"I agree," Edward smiled.
Bella stretched her limbs out and her head fell to the side. She was getting even sleepier by the each second. She didn't want to fall asleep, knowing her neck would be killing her. Bella looked at her feet, wanting to take the boots off. She took them off, praising herself that she had thick socks on.
"Shit," Bella whispered, rubbing her feet.
"You alright?" Edward asked.
Bella looked over at him, "Yeah. My feet, they are killing me."
"Come over here," Edward demanded.
"What?" Bella asked, taken back from his demand.
"Come over here." Edward scoffed and patted the seat next to him.
Bella walked over to him, Edward watching her every move. She sat next to him, waiting for his next demand.
"Take your other boot off." Edward said softly, looking into her eyes.
"Ok," Bella bit her lip and took her other boot off. Edward took the liberty of raising her leg and putting her foot on his lap. Bella groaned softy at the contact, the sparks shooting up her body. She knew he must of felt it too. He took his big hands and started rubbing tenderly on her foot.
"Oooo that feels good," Bella moaned softly.
"I'm glad," Edward laughed. "What's your story?"
Bella opened her eyes. "I just met you and you want to know my story?"
Edward shrugged. "Just trying to kill time here. You don't have to tell me everything."
Bella smiled, "I'm from Forks, Washington originally." Bella decided it would be a great conversation starter.
"Forks, Washington? Is that a city with a lot of forks?" Edward asked.
"Ha ha, no." Bella said sarcastically. "My dad is the chief there. And I moved to Arizona with my mom when I was 5. I can't really remember much of my parent's split. Then, my mom remarried. I moved back to Forks and finished school there. I moved to New York, following my mom and Phil. I graduated college and I met…" Bella trailed off.
She didn't feel like sharing that she met Jacob at the end. Bella couldn't take the heart ache and the mess that came with it. Bella's mind filled with the old memories of her and Jake. Bella wished that he wouldn't have betrayed her like that. She truly did feel stupid for letting the relationship broke the way it did. Bella felt a tear and quickly wiped it away before Edward could ask questions.
"Met who?" Edward asked and Bella sighed in relief that he didn't see the tear.
"Oh, no one." Bella shook her head.
Edward kept rubbing her foot, the pain slowly erasing. If he wasn't a musician, he should take a job rubbing feet. For instance; her feet. Bella moaned softly when Edward went to her sore spot. Bella smiled, thanking that Tanya started the fight. If she never punched her nose, she would have never met this hot British man who knew how to rub feet.
"So where in this city do you live?" Edward asked, breaking Bella's thoughts.
"I live in Manhattan." Bella responded.
"Oh really? Upper side?"
"Yeah. I live in a two story apartment by myself."
"Oh wow. I live on the upper side too. How odd that we run into each other here and not there." Edward smiled.
"Very," Bella agreed, giggling. Bella put her hand over her eyes, hoping she would block the cheap lights out of her eyes.
"What did you go to school for?" Edward asked.
"Oh um, I went to school to be a writer and it actually didn't work out right," Bella frowned.
"Why?" Edward's British accent made her melt.
"It's just… I got busy," She whispered.
She took her hands off her eyes and sat up. Jacob didn't approve of her being a writer. He always told her that it was distracting. So, she worked at Jacob's job putting sales in the computer that the company made. She forced to be happy at the job, to make Jake happy.
Logically, she would have dumped his ass on the spot. But, she fell in love with the ass hat and followed his dreams. Bella did secretly type on her laptop when Jacob was gone. She wrote 30,000 words in a year. It was pathetic that she couldn't have just done it.
"You're pretty emotional tonight," Edward said softly to her.
"I'm fine. No worries," Bella fake smiled.
Edward smiled and dropped her leg to reach to get the other one. Bella twisted in a comfortable position while he rubbed her foot. Bella smiled softly at Edward. She felt ten times better since she stepped in the jail cell.

On the other side of the town, the short, brown haired pixie drunkenly typed the number in her phone. She tapped her foot, waiting for the next subway to come through the tram. She sighed loudly, waiting for the guy to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" He finally answered, sleepily.
"Fucking finally!" She screeched.
"Who is this?" The man was taken back from the tone of the girl's voice.
"Alice," She simply said.
"Alice? How are you?" He asked.
"I'm fine. Phil, I can't talk long." Alice rubbed her hand against her fore head.
"What's wrong?
"It's Bella," Alice giggled.
"What did she do? Is she drunk like you and you abanded her?" Phil said sternly.
"Chill your horses. And don't speak too much," Alice groaned.
"Alice, I don't have time for this! It's 4 am in the morning,"
"Bella got arrested for beating the slut that was screwing Jake behind her back," Alice said hurriedly, looking at her nails.
"Wait, what?" Phil yelled and Alice heard rustling in the background.
"You heard me. She's at the local police station. You're gonna have to bail her out!" Alice giggled and stomped her foot in effect.
"Ok, thanks for telling me Alice," Phil sighed and hung up the phone.
Alice stared at her phone like it was a last season skirt from Ralph Lauren. Alice threw her phone in her over sized purse and stumbled onto the subway to take her drunken, merry self to her apartment with her fiancé.

30 minutes later, Bella lazily stretched like a cat across the bench while Edward was singing softly to her. Bella grinned, liking his soft singing voice. Edward was singing a tune that she never heard of. So she assumed that he wrote the song.
"You have a nice voice," Bella said softly.
Edward stopped singing and smiled at the brown haired beauty. "Thanks."
"No problem," Bella got up and rubbed a sore spot on her back, feeling better.
"I hope your friend called Phil," Edward smiled and it didn't reach his eyes.
"Yeah," Bella said sadly and looked at the clock. It was 4:30 AM and Bella grew tired.
"I guess you want to go home,"
"I do. I need sleep. But, I'm having fun talking to you."
"Same," Edward smiled a real smile this time.
"Who is going to bail you out?"
"Hopefully my dad. I'm going to have to call him later." Edward responded looking at his hands.
"Something wrong with your dad?" Bella asked, confused.
"No, it's just I don't think he wants to bail his son out of jail."
"Point proven," Bella said, getting closer to Edward. She was enveloped by his musky scent.
Bella like she was cheating on Jake, by getting closer to Edward. But the reality is, he cheated on her. Bella didn't want to move on too fast, wanting to get her heart broken again. She dated the same person for so long; so she just couldn't do it. Bella bit her lip and let her head drop.
"Isabella Swan?" Bella heard a voice. She looked up and saw the officer from an hour before. "You're step father posted bail."
Bella just nodded her thanks and got up. She looked over at Edward who was smiling at her.
"Well, you can go sleep now," Edward laughed.
"Yeah, thank god." Bella said, looking over at the officer, who was getting impatient.
"It was great meeting you, good luck."
"You too, Edward. You too," Bella started to walk away.
"See you around?" Edward called after her.
"You bet on it," Bella looked over at him and waved and walked out of the cell.
Bella smiled and ran her hands through her hair. Who would have known she would meet the perfect person in a jail cell? Bella giggled and saw Phil in the clearing, with not an amused look on his face.
"Come on," Phil said with anger and pushed her out the door.
"Ok, let's go." Bella rolled her eyes and walked out in the cool New York air.
