Bella's POV
I was on my way to the Cullen's house to see Edward. With the rest of the family out on a hunting trip I thought it might be good for us to spend some time alone for once. Ever since Edward and I got engaged we haven't had any time together without the rest of the family bringing up the wedding plans. He even stopped coming to see me every night because Alice had been hounding him with new ideas every five minutes.
As I drove down the Cullen's driveway, excitement filled every inch of me, to see my fiancé. My fiancé. It still seemed strange to even think it but it felt amazing to think I will soon be married to this perfection.
I pulled up outside the house ready to see my perfect man. I made my way into the house and up to Edward's room with a smile playing on my lips at my previous thoughts. Just as I reached outside of his room I could hear noises coming from in there. He was probably on the phone to Alice discussing what flowers to have at the wedding. I chuckled to myself at that thought. I quietly pushed the door open so I didn't disturb him, but what I saw was something completely different.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My Edward was fucking Alice. I was in utter shock; I didn't know what to do. What was worse was they hadn't even noticed I was there. After standing there for a few minutes the shock finally turned into anger and I thought it was about time I made my presence known.
They were still both moaning each others names in between kisses so I cleared my throat loudly. Their movements ceased as their heads moved towards my direction. Within seconds they were up and somewhat dressed.
"Bella, I am so sorry. What you saw, I can explain." Edward begged.
"Go ahead." I replied calmly, even though I was screaming profanities on the inside. Edward opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out, clearly coming up blank.
"That's what I thought." I said as I turned to walk out. Edward grabbed my arm and spun me around. He took hold of my face to make me look into his desperate, pleading eyes. "Please Bella. Please forgive me for what I've done. I would never intentional hurt you, you have to know that. It was an accident-"
"An accident? Bumping into someone else is an accident. Spilling a drink is an accident. Having sex with someone else is not an accident!" I yelled as I pushed his hands away from my face.
I looked towards Alice who stood looking at the ground like a child who had just been scolded for doing something wrong. I looked back at Edward with a look of pure disgusted.
"Stay the hell away from me. You are both disgusting and I don't ever want to see either one of you again." I spat at them. Just before I left I took of the engagement ring Edward had given me and slammed it down on the table next to the door.
I walked as fast as I could down the stairs, trying to get as far away as I could from this place, from these people. I could feel the tears that threatened to spill but I would allow them to. Not here. I could hear Edward calling my name as I walked out of the front door slamming it hard.
I saw the rest of the family walking towards the house, unaware of the previous conversation I had just had. I could tell by looking at them they knew something was wrong, maybe because I look like I was about to have a breakdown. I probably was soon.
"Bella, what is going on? Are you okay?" Esme asked frantically as she came over and pulled me into a motherly hug.
"I'm fine, I just need to leave right now." I said as I pulled out of the hug. I could feel the tears on my cheeks now, so I wiped them away quickly. As I started to walk towards my car I looked towards Jasper and said, "Good luck with your cheating whore of a wife."
I climbed into my car and looked at his face through the windshield. His perfect face was now marred with an expression full of sorrow and pain. Before I had time to move the car I saw the front door slam open and Edward and Alice appeared. Jasper's expression soon turned into one of absolute fury as his head snapped towards them. A loud growl escaped his throat as he crouched ready to pounce at them. Before he had time Emmett and Carlisle grabbed him and started to pull him back towards the forest. I caught a glimpse of his eyes before he disappeared behind the mass of tree and they were as black as coal.
I soon realised I was still parked outside the Cullen's home and sped down the driveway and down the street as quick as I could. As I drove back to my house I thought about the events that occurred in the last half hour. Before then I was happy. I had a second family, I had a wedding I was secretly looking forward to, and I had a man who loved me so much he would die for me. Or so I thought. But now I have none of those things. I have nothing.
As soon as I got to my house I banged the door shut. I vaguely heard Charlie say something to me like "Hey kiddo, how was your day?" as I ran upstairs into my room. As soon as I got in there I flopped down onto my bed and let the tears flow freely. The more I cried, the more my heart felt like it was falling apart.
I could hear Charlie knocking on the door asking if he could come in but I ignored him. He came in anyway and hugged me tightly asking what was wrong. I started to feel better when he held me, as though he was hold my broken heart together. My frantic cries soon turned into quiet sobs as we sat there in silence. I glanced up at Charlie seeing the worry and concern etched on his face.
"Are you gonna tell me what happened, Bells?" he asked quietly, afraid I was going to burst out in tears again.
"I went to see Edward and I found him with someone else." I said as a fresh new wave of sadness hit. I could see the resentment build up in Charlie's face. He was beyond pissed. Ever since Edward left Charlie had loathed him but tried to be somewhat pleasant for my sake when he came back. I could see that had gone out the window now.
"That bastard! I'll kill him! Who the hell does he think he is treating you this way? How could he hurt you like this again?" By this point Charlie was pacing up and down my room, his face turning red with anger the more he moved.
"Oh, that's not the worst part. The worst part is he cheated on me with someone else I cared about. Someone who I thought cared about me too, but apparently that was all a lie. They both betrayed me. I can't believe I was so stupid." I whispered the last part.
"Who was it?" Charlie asked kneeling in front of me, trying to look into my eyes, as I sat slumped on the bed. The anger had now dissipated and concern for his only daughter filled his eyes one again.
"I don't want to say. But I don't ever want to see either of them ever again." I said, my eyes welling up again. Charlie sat next to me on the bed and pulled me into another hug.
"Shh. It is gonna be alright sweetie. I'm not gonna let him get anywhere near you. I promise you, he will never hurt you again as long as I'm here. And I don't mind if you wanna go live with your mom in Jacksonville instead." Charlie soothed me.
"Thanks dad. It means a lot to me, but I don't wanna leave. It hurts now but it'll get better eventually, right? I mean, I managed to survive him abandoning me, I'm guessing I'll survive this too." I said with a sad smile.
"Bella I just want you to be okay. I don't ever wanna see my baby girl go through what you did when he left ever again. It'd kill me seeing that again." He said softly. I didn't know what to say to that. I couldn't promise him that I would be happy and smiling again. Hell, I couldn't even promise him that I would be okay. But I know that I'd have to make an effort because I know how bad last time hurt him. I don't want to put him through the torment of having a broken daughter again. Even if I am broken now, it doesn't mean he has to see it. I gave him a small smile.
"I think I should get some sleep now. All this crying has tired me out." I laughed humourlessly. With a kiss on the forehead he left my room. The only good thing that has come out of Edward cheating on me is, I feel me and Charlie are closer than we was this morning.
