This chapter is set after Bella and Edwards wedding, while they're away on their honeymoon. The Cullen's aren't a part of this (yet) but I just wanted to set a time line for the story. The imprints didn't happen as they happened in the book.
Yes… an Angela/one of the werewolves' story.
She couldn't fathom what caused the change in his decision, "I'm sorry Angela, I'll be taking the scholarship I applied for to Texas A&M. You know I've always wanted to go there" he told her. What about us? What about our plans? she wanted to shout. But she knew that this was what he desired since he found his calling in life. After graduation, and Bella and Edwards wedding, they'd been discussing their future and it had always been together not apart but if this is what he wanted, to be apart from her, who was she to stand in his way?
"Don't be sorry Ben" she whispered as she cupped his cheek in her palm and leaned over to brush her lips over his. One of the down sides of being tall, she was never leaning up to kiss the boyfriend like she saw in all the movies. "Like you said, you've always wanted this" she whispered as she stepped away from him, tracing her fingers over his jaw while her heart constricted at the thought of leaving him, of not having a life with him. He was her first love, and she thought he was her soul mate and if he was willing to throw away what they had for his career, then maybe he doesn't feel the same way.
"Ang, babe, don't" he said as he reached for her hand but she wrenched it away. She saw the hurt in his eyes but she couldn't pretend like she was his anymore, because he threw what they had when he took the scholarship behind her back. "We can do a long distance relationship Angie, we can still be together. Four years isn't that long baby" he whispered as he forcefully wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in the crook of her neck.
She pushed against his chest, until he let her go because he was never truly trying to hold on to her. She knew they were still young, that they had the rest of their lives ahead of them, but she was ready for the happily ever after right now.
After a tearful break-up and goodbye she drove around aimlessly until she reached La Push beach. The group of friends she hung out with always came here. A lot of first's happened in this beach; first time she and Ben walked the beach holding hands, the first time he told her he loved her and the first time they kissed. This first she never saw coming. The first time she would walk the beach alone, without the possibility of Ben coming in and sweeping her off her feet. The realization of such possibility sent her into a frenzy of tears, wrenching her body until she fell to her knees.
"Why Ben?" she whispered as the oceans waters were reaching her knee's, lightly grazing her exposed skin. She dropped her hand to her side, plummeting her fingers in the wet sand wishing this was all just a horrible dream. One that she would wake up from soon, but the heartache, the audible heart break she was enduring for Ben's happiness felt too real to be a dream. No matter how much she prayed it would be.
She always dreamed of a prince charming, a happily ever after, a wedding on the beach. Dreamed of the house with the white picket fence and the 3 kids but she always envisioned herself alongside Ben. Angela Cheney. It was perfect, in her dreams of course. Life just had something else planned for her.
