Hi everyone!
I recently pulled the original version because I wanted to expand on it, and I finally got a new computer, so I could type instead of using my phone.
I am hoping to do a test run of Bad Luck, Bella Swan on FF first and then publish it later.
Anyways, read, review and follow!
Much love,

Who would have thought that my life would end up this way? I certainly didn't. I was working full time, had a committed relationship with a great guy, and I was happy. Little did I know was that everything was about to change.
When I was fifteen years old, I was diagnosed with SOTOS Syndrome. A rare genetic disorder that is characterised by overgrowth of physical features such as the head, hands and feet during the first few years if growth. It also causes some intellectual impairments and general slowness. Being on the extremely minor side of the spectrum, I only suffered slight overgrowth in my hands and feet, and general slowness.
It was because of my 'slowness' that I was let go from my full-time job. I was working in a well-established bakery in downtown Seattle as the assistant Manager. Baking was my absolute passion, I would always bake whenever I had a day off. However, I managed to find a new job straight away in my local bookstore. I really enjoyed it, I was surrounded by books all day and I had even made a few new friends.
I was over at my boyfriend's apartment for dinner one night after work. Mike and I had been together since my Freshman year in college. We had met at a party that his fraternity was hosting, Mike was a Sophomore at the time. We started hanging out all the time and became close, so it only felt right when he suggested we start dating.
Whist Mike was preparing dinner, he had asked me to bring him his cell phone, which he had left in his bedroom. I quickly went and retrieved his phone and thought that since I knew his passcode, that I should take a few silly selfies for him to find later. However, I wasn't expecting the text message app to be open to a conversation between Mike and someone named 'Jessica'. I was appalled to see the messages getting vulgar and even more perverted as the thread continued. Complete with cock shots and nude photos of the blonde bimbo. The most heartbreaking part was seeing the three simple but powerful words 'I love you' sent numerous times back and forth.
With trembling hands and my heart shattered into a million tiny, sharp fragments, I threw the bastard's phone against the wall, causing the screen to resemble my heart. I marched down the hallway to the kitchen where Mike was dishing up dinner. The smile on his face quickly fell from his face when he noticed the shattered remains of his beloved cell. I can honestly say that he didn't expect me to leave a giant red handprint, which took over the left side of his face.
"What the hell was that for?" Mike growled as he bent over in agony. It was in that exact moment when my sadness turned into anger, then all emotion drained from my face in the same second.
"Why don't you go ask Jessica you son of a bitch!" I snarled as I quickly gathered my things. I turned around in the front hallway to find the cheating bastard standing in the middle of the doorway, just staring at me with a dumbass expression on his face and his fists clenched. I gave Mike the finger and slammed the front door with such force that the glass panels on either side of the door rattled, resembling an earthquake. I drove home with tears streaming down my face for the entire twenty-minute drive.
"And that was how I managed to completely fuck up my life in just three weeks," I sighed into my tub of Phish Food flavoured Ben and Jerry's, my best friend Alice on the opposite side of my couch with her own tub. Alice and I had been friends since the first day of High School. I was an introvert with severe anxiety, where Alice extremely outgoing. An energetic little thing with bright blue hair that hung dead straight halfway down her back. She noticed me sitting by myself being a bit of a wallflower and came and sat with me at my lunch table. We have been inseparable ever since, even making sure we both went to the same college.
"That stupid, sleazy, two-timing weasel! And after everything you have done for him over the years. I told you Bells, I kept getting bad vibes when it came to Captain Limp Dick," She chided. For as long as I had known Alice, she always claimed to have a sixth sense when it game to a person's vibes and auras. I had to admit, she was never wrong.
"Yeah, I know Pix, I should've listened to you. You've never been wrong before," I laughed.
I woke up the next morning to several missed calls and text messages, all from Mike. Asshole got his phone fixed quick enough, I muttered internally as I erased every text without reading them. Mike was instantly added to my blocked list. It was a brand-new day and I wasn't going to sit around at home feeling sorry for myself. I was a strong, confident woman who would no longer let the petty things in life get me down. I was Bella Swan for Christ sake! I quickly sent a message to Alice asking her if she was up for a night of drunken mayhem. She replied within seconds, with nothing but a simple 'YES!', Looks like I was going out and let my hair down. Bring it on!
