Fire and Ice
SUMMARY: Bella knew the minute she walked out the door ,she would be ending them but she also knew they were FIRE AND ICE never meant to exist with each other.
Chapter 1.
Bella was shocked but not really surprised. She had always been waiting for the other shoe to drop. She had never truly believed that they would last. The fact that they did as long as they did was a pleasant surprise for her but like everything else in her life she had to lose this as well. She still remembered his clothes he wore the day they met, his cologne, his shy but warm smile.

The lights of the club pulsed as the music soared making everyone dance to its beats. Bella was out with her friends Rosalie and Alice, the blonde goddess and the raven haired pixie. She was going to be the editor of a reputed publishing house "Breaking dawn".
Bella said" Guys was coming out here really that necessary."
"Yes", replied Rosalie and Alice ."This is your first job, your first sign of independence, we have to celebrate", said Alice enthusiastically.
"We could have celebrated at home" protested Bella.
"Exactly why we dragged you out here", said Rose."If we let you stay at home you would have been wallowing about Jacob not celebrating."
Jacob had been Bella's boyfriend of three years ever since she had met him in Forks, where she had exiled herself for a year to stay with her father. They became instant friends and eventually a couple but the relationship ended when Jacob found someone else. It had ended a few weeks ago so Bella was still numb.
"As much s I hate to admit it, you're right", sighed Bella sadly
"I didn't mean to make you upset", said Rose guiltily. "Its ok", Bella said.
"now enough of the heavy. Its time for us to celebrate your success and leave the past in the past where it belongs. Say goodbye to the old Bella and say hi to the new", said Alice trying to lighten the somber mood.
"I agree, lets go get some drinks" ,announced Rose. Rose wasn't one to dwell on a thing too long.
Rose and Alice left Bella at a table to wait for them and headed out to the bar to flirt with a bartender and get a few drinks.
"Are you alone? I would think that someone so pretty wouldn't be out on her own" , a high nasal voice said. Bella turned to see a dirty blonde haired and imposing man regard her with lust.
"No, my boyfriend's down at the bar getting me a few drinks" , lied Bella hoping to be rid of him. She made a quick escape outside the club to get some fresh air and stop the self loathing from drowning her.
She texted Rose so she and Alice wouldn't worry about her.
She had spent the last few weeks dodging every male who showed even a slight interest in her. Such was the state of her self esteem that even a pervert's interest in her failed to get a reaction out of her. A few months ago she would have kicked that man's ass for even looking at her. But then again a few months ago she was under the impression that Jacob would be proposing to her. She didn't know till when she would keep running from anything and anyone who would make her feel.
