AN: So Here's A Twilight Story Now. XD It's a Bedward story. XD BxE. R&R. Very Much Appreciated. Thanks, okay. :)

First Chapter

When the truth shoots you from behind.

"Bella?" He thoughtfully said.

"Yes?" I looked up from my eyelashes and saw him smiling.

"I know you're wondering why I brought you here."

Of course I would be wondering why he would bring me here in this expensive five-star luxurious restaurant with the moonlight shining through the windows and some violinists loitering around us and a delicious wine set before me in the table and overall, a candle-lit dinner with this man sitting in front of me.

Then again, it wasn't that complicated to figure out.

"Yeah, sure…." I played along. He suddenly held my hand and beamed some more.

"Isabella Swan, we started off as being just friends, right? We met back in High School and if I remembered correctly, we didn't notice each other that much." He laughed at the memory and shook his head while I only reminisced why I didn't like him in the first place; Arrogant, Proud, Jock, that's why. Although he changed, I still wonder how we came to be.

"Anyway, I honestly didn't know that you would be this—interesting." He deepened his stare at my eyes and I couldn't look away. Not because I was dazzled but because I knew what was happening and I felt the guilt rising up inside me. And Oh God, he was showing off his gorgeous set of teeth. I didn't want this to happen! This is such inconvenient timing!

"Actually, Interesting is an understatement, sweetie." He squeezed my hand gently and that silky voice just kept luring me.

"I'm not sure if it's that obvious…" I held my breath while he leaned in closer and I gradually, and hopefully not noticeably,backed away.

"But do you know how much the world is pretty much empty without you? Do you know how my day becomes complete just having to hear your voice? Do you know how much my heart melts whenever your touch comes close to my skin? Do you know how everyday, I wait patiently just to see your face again and be able to kiss those—"

"Wait!" I cut him off, stealing my hand back and moving it as far from his as possible. "I…need to go to the ladies room. Be right back." I nervously laughed and instantly grabbed my purse and rapidly marched my way towards the bathroom. I knew he was in the middle of this romantic speech and what I did was completely offensive and he must be furious but I couldn't let this go on any longer! No, I couldn't.

I pushed the door open and good thing the room was empty or I would've done something drastic just to be alone.

I locked myself in on one stall and hastily snatched my phone from my purse and dialed. The line rang twice until a bored voice answered.

"Heeey, Bella. Are you done with dinner already?"

"No, Alice! Tonight's not what I planned!" I immediately panicked

"Huh? What do you mean?" She seemed confused; of course, she didn't know what I was thinking of doing.

"Oh crap, Alice! He's starting off with those memories from High School, calling me by my full name and saying things about how much he loves me!"

"Uhm…don't mean to be rude here but, so?"

"Damn it! Alice, I don't feel the same way anymore! And I wasn't planning to get engaged tonight, I was planning to become free and single!" I replayed what I just said in my head and realized that I just confessed to Alice.

Oh well, now she knows. It was the least of my problems now.

"He's proposing?!"

"You're breaking up with him?!"

The two voices demanded at the same time. Look's like Rosalie knows now too since her voice was one of those who demanded. Alice must've gotten Rosalie's attention and turned the phone to speaker mode.

Great, I accidentally slipped because of my panic. What more if I had to say it in front of him?!

"Ugh, look, I'll explain everything when I get home but right now, help!" My voice cracked up and squeaked at the last word. I stood on my tip toes to peek through the stall to see if anyone had stepped in the room but luckily, no one happened to witness my hysteria.

"Okay, full details later!" Rose speedily said. "But at the problem at hand…"

"Hold on, are you sure he's proposing tonight?" Alice unexpectedly asked with a hint of disbelief and uncertainty.

All of the thoughts of the attractive and sweet person back at the table with his twinkling irises crying out and that charming smile he had on his face, the way his voice carries over the words that he was saying. I could just picture his smooth hair covering his eyes and I would feel the need inside me to brush those strands away but I knew he would misunderstand me.

I couldn't let his go on any further.

"Well?" Alice and Rose both yanked my attention away from my thoughts.

"Uh, Yeah, I'm pretty sure…" and He would certainly hate me about it.

The stall was making me feel claustrophobic so I unlocked it but got a hold of the bathroom door and locked that bolt instead.

"Girls, any plans here?" I bitterly asked. My legs unconsciously moved and I was pacing back and forth in the bathroom and started nibbling on my nails.

"Okay, okay. First, don't be nervous and don't panic in front of him." Rose calmly said while I nodded. There was a distant slam in the background, but I shoved that noise away.

"And, if you're real positive about breaking up with him, even after all those years, Bella—" Alice was interrupted.

"Who's breaking up with whom?" Another voice came from the phone. I recognized the voice and rolled my eyes.

"Now's not the right time, Emmett." I said through gritted teeth.

"Bella, that you? " Emmett asked.

"Bella? You're breaking up with him? Well, it's about time!" Wait that was Jasper. He and Emmett must've come and that slam must've been the door back in the apartment.

"I mean, we've known him since High school, but honestly, I never liked him that much. And you played with your emotions for too long, you never loved him with sincerity that much too anyway." Jasper continued.

"I second that, even if I didn't go in the same High School with Jasper and Alice and you guys." Emmett said.

"Emmett, we're handling it!" Rosalie loudly whispered and I heard a thump in the background this time.

"Ouch! You didn't need to push me, Rose." Emmett mumbled; his voice remote. Well, he deserved it. "Bella, Just do it already!" He added.

I stole a glance from my watch and noticed that I had been staying in the bathroom for five minutes now.

"Okay, I gotta end this now. Thanks for the not-so-helpful advices. Bye." I snapped the phone shut and took simultaneous deep breaths.

I unlocked the door and stepped out of the room. I slowly strode towards our table and caught him playing with his food from waiting.

This was making me feel guilty again. I knew he didn't deserve it, but, don't I get to have a say in this situation too? And my say is; I just don't love him the way I loved him in High School. Time passes by and you realize everything after being with him for five years.

"Sorry I was gone for so long. The line was pretty long…" He smiled at my comeback and shortly nodded.

"Come on, let's step outside and get some fresh air." He silently stood up and held his hand out. I didn't know what got into me but I absently accepted it and stood up too.

He opened the doors for me and the first thing that caught my eye was the sky. It was different in a way; because there were no stars tonight but merely a full moon. He led our way to the corner of the porch of the restaurant where people wouldn't spot us. We finally reached the end and I leaned back by the railing.

His hand moved and it got my attention. He reached over his pocket and pulled something out. There, lying on his palm was a small smooth navy blue box.

My heart sank on the deepest part of my body and my head rapidly ached. There was a hitch on my throat that I couldn't seem to get rid off…this was it.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I still can't believe that we've been together for this long. Although we had rough times, we managed." He smiled and nabbed the front of the box, but didn't quite open it yet. I knew what was inside and it would be too late then. "I've always seen us being so happy together for the longest time and, I can't take it anymore, Bella! I love you and I can't keep my feelings bottled up like this. And there's only one thing left to do…" His lips stretched into a grin and his fingers moved. Before I realized what was happening, my hand shot up to the box and held his hand in place.

"I have to talk to you." I said it, straight forward. His smile vanished, replaced by a firm straight line formed in his lips. "Now, I've been thinking about this for a long time…" I imitated his words and absolutely had no idea how I would say this to his face after all that he's done.

"You'd probably hate me, and you'd probably never forgive me. But let me say this first." I took a deep breath and decided to get on with it. Say it straight with no hesitation. "I'd say I'm sorry, and I am, but those words won't do justice. I know this will hurt you, and I am sorry." His eyes weren't focused at me but he was looking forwardly on the floor.

"We've been together since High School, yes. We've had a journey that would surely be unforgettable. But I guess it just ends there. I love you…Just not that way anymore." There, I said it. His eyes then were fixed with mine and he shook his head, his expression filled with pain. This hurt me so, but how could I possibly make him feel any better? Breaking up with a person who was about to propose to you?

Unforgivable.

"Why, Bella? You tell me this now?" He said those words with pure calmness and control. This only showed that I didn't deserve him more; he was too perfect, too humble. He really did change over those adolescent years.

"I didn't know our relationship would take this step, I didn't know you loved me that much." He closed his eyes and turned his head away. That's where the first tear drop fell. Not his, but mine. This was harder than I thought it would be.

I stepped forward, raised my hand and stroked his cheek, for this would be the last time.

"You were my first love, my childhood sweetheart." My hand just kept caressing his face for a few moments before it stopped and he looked at me. "But you're just not my soul mate. Not the one." It stung me to say it out loud, but I had to get it out of my chest.

"But you're the one for me." He whispered, thinking perhaps I wouldn't hear it. I leaned in and brought my lips close to cheek now, replacing the position where my hand was a while ago. I gently pressed my lips close to his face and whispered softly and clearly. This would also be our last kiss.

"I'm sorry, truly, I am. Goodbye…Brandon. You deserve so much more than just what I ever gave you." (AN: Please Tell Me If You Guys Thought it was Edward. XD I just want to survey on how many people I was able to trick)



Not so long after that, I left him together with his box and the engagement ring. It was unbearable to watch him break down after I told him; it was painful to see him so vulnerable.

I called for a cab and pointed towards my apartment. It wasn't that late, so when I reached home, everyone was still awake and they were all standing, waiting for me to enter the door of our apartment.

"How did it go?" Alice was the first to speak up.

"Horrible." My tone was emotionless. Jasper walked near me, held me by my shoulders and helped me to sit down.

"Did he ask you the big question?" Emmett quietly asked while Rosalie shot him a warning glance.

"No, I stopped him before he opened the box." Rosalie came to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Oh Bella. You did the right thing." She soothed me. Alice was the next one and it soon became a group hug.

"Don't worry, you'll find the one. You just have to play the cards." Emmett said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jasper nudged him, but Emmett just shrugged.

"Don't mind him, hon." Alice stroked my back, while Rose shook her head at Emmett. All I could do was smile but yet feel bad about this.

"I'm fine, guys. Really. I just need time." I tried putting on my best smile. They bought it and nodded.

"Sure, Bells." Rosalie said. "Come on, Em. Let's get going."

"But our apartment's just across the hall! Why do we get to leave and Jasper and Alice don't?" Emmett acted like a child again. I laughed at him and Alice and Jasper exchanged looks like they couldn't believe Emmett was throwing this fit again.

"Because, you big baby, Jasper, Alice, and Bella lives here. Brandon used to stay here too, but since Bella broke up with him, he's not going to stay here anymore. And Bella needs time so we leave and they don't." Rosalie explained to him like he was a kid and she waited for Emmett to be hit by realization.

"Ohh….Right. I forgot. Oh well, Bye Bells. Goodnight." He kissed my cheek and I just patted his head.

"Night, you goof." He laughed and waved goodbye and I did the same thing.

"You okay, Bella? I'm kinda tired, but I could stay if you need some company." Alice offered.

"I could stay too, Bells." Jasper said.

"No, I'm fine, guys. Thanks. You know I love you all, but I need some moments alone." They nodded and headed towards their room. I wasn't ready to stay in mine, I was afraid that Brandon's scent would be all over my room and then I would regret my decision even if I really didn't. I miss him, sure, but I couldn't get him back. Not after what I did.

My head fell on the cushion of the couch and soon, I drifted into my land of dreams and nightmares.

But to be exact for this night, I had no dreams or nightmares. Simply—darkness. And the last tear fell again from my eye, but I promised myself that that would be the last time I would shed a tear over Brandon Clark. Never again.

AN: So, Chapter One! I might be updating a little late now because of school again. But I will try my best. XD R&R AGAIN! THANKS. :)
