My life was perfect, I had the perfect boyfriend, the perfect best friend, the perfect guy friend, maybe not the perfect family, but close. I never suspected a thing. Seeing as I was a teenage in love, I didn't notice much of anything anymore. I could have seen warning signs, I should have noticed, I should have believed my friends, but I didn't. In the end I ended up shattered.
It was almost summer vacation, and I was excited. What other teenage wouldn't be excited?? Though there might not be much sun in this tiny town of Forks, I still had great friends to spend it with, and a great boyfriend. Edward Cullen, the love of my life. As I waited for him to pick me up from school, I was looking through my photo album. It was another hour until he was due to pick me up, so I had plenty of time. I flipped through the two years I had spent at Forks. Alice, my best friend and Edward's sister, was in there a lot. There was pictures from our numerous trips to Seattle, which involved a lot of shopping. Other pictures where in there as well, but those were the craziest and some of the most special. Her boyfriend, Jasper, was in a few. His twin sister, Rosalie, was also one of my best friends in the world. I saw a lot of her, seeing as she was going out with my brother Emmett. Edward and Alice are twins and Emmett and I are just a year apart. Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie are seniors. Alice, Edward, and I are juniors. All the pictures had stories behind them, all worth way more than a thousand words. Jacob, who is practically my brother, was in here a few times. Of course Edward was in here, he has been my boyfriend for a year. Our relationship had been surprisingly smooth for a high school relationship. I heard a honk outside from Edward's Volvo. I looked at myself in the mirror. I put on some more lip gloss, adjusted my summer dress, and ran out to his car. As I slipped in, I gave him a kiss. Every time we kissed was magical and full of sparks.
"Hello love, ready for the last day of junior year?" he asked.
"Of course I am!! I'm so glad summer is almost here! Now I don't have to deal with all of the drama of Lauren trying to steal my boyfriend. Now I don't have to shoot her death glares at lunch."
He stayed silent, which was odd. I just ignored it as we drove to school. When we pulled up, he ran around the car and opened my door. He helped me get out, we held hands on the way to English. He was oddly quiet for today, but I think he was just super excited for summer to come. I walked in and took my assigned seat next to Alice. Unfortunately, Edward was all the way across the room. I looked over to see an overly excited Alice.
"BELLA OMG IT'S ALMOST SUMMER!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR DRESS, GOOD CHOICE! YOU LOOK SO CUTE TODAY WITH YOUR MAKE-UP! ARN'T YOU EXCITED FOR THE PARTY AFTER SCHOOL??? I AM! YOU ARE COMING OVER EARLY SO I CAN HELP YOU GET READY!!! BRING YOUR DRESS!!"
She went on like this for another minute until I told her to shut up. She gave me a puppy dog pout, but the bell rang so we payed attention.
This class was fun, but easy, as the rest of my classes. My first three classes whizzed by until it was time for lunch. Seeing as the seniors graduated like two weeks ago, Alice, Edward, and I sat at the lunch table feeling lonely. Edward didn't seem like himself today, he was super quiet. Excusing himself early from lunch (he had to go talk with one of his teachers) made me feel even more lonely. Alice scooted closer to me. She only did this when she needed to talk, now I'm scared.
"Bella, I think something is wrong with Edward. He hasn't acted the same for a month now. You need to talk to him at the party tonight, alright??"
"Yea I noticed something was off too. I'll talk to him at the party tonight, don't worry."
The bell rang and I went off to chemistry, one of the only classes where I sat next to Edward. I got to our table and noticed Lauren was talking to him. I shooed her away and I saw a strange emotion in his eyes. Hurt? No, I was just seeing things. He stood up to hug me and kiss me, and it felt like it always has. I was just imagining things. We settled in for a boring last chemistry lesson. I let my mind wonder to my plans for summer until the bell rang. I got up and walked to my math class. After math was gym, which I despised.
When school let out I had to ride with Alice instead of Edward. He met me outside of the gym, like always, and walked me to Alice's car. He kissed me goodbye and went to his car. After about ten minutes, Alice finally came out.
"Alice, what could you have possibly been doing for ten minutes???"
"Some people asked me directions to my house, you know, for the party? Sometimes people can be so clueless!"
We laughed then sang along to Use Somebody by Kings of Leon on the way to my house. I ran inside real fast, grabbed my dress and shoes, then dashed out to the car. Bohemian Rhapsody popped on the radio, and Alice and I squealed. We sang and danced in the car on the way to her house. By the time we got there, we were laughing historically. It was like that one scene from Wayne's World.
Alice kidnapped me to her room without allowing me to say hi to anyone. The torture was about to begin, Bella Barbie!!!
Three hours later, I was ready for the party. My brown hair was curled into ringlets, except for my side swept bangs, which were straight. My midnight blue dress was strapless with a black belt under the bust. It was tight fitting and came to right above my knees. I had just a little eye shadow and liner, with some mascara and lip gloss. Alice squealed, clearly proud of her work. The party had just started, so only Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, Edward, and Alice of course, were there.
I walked down the stairs and entered the party zone. I got a cat call, from my brother of course, and everyone complimented my dress. Finally I glanced up at Edward. He was wearing a button down shirt that matched my dress and nice, black dress pants.
"Bella, you look gorgeous." He said as he came over to hug me. My crooked smile appeared on his face and I nearly melted. We kissed each other with as much passion that was aloud, and we just looked at each other.
"You don't look too bad yourself." I said as I turned bright red.
"As much as I love you Bells, I'm your brother and this makes me sick. STOP BEING SO MUSHY!!!"
We all laughed. The door bell rang soon after that, so we answered it. Lauren and her crew where the first to arrive, of course. We left the door open because we saw more people coming up the driveway.
As the party continued more people showed up. At one point Edward excused himself and left. After ten minutes, I started to get worried. I spotted Alice and she said he went upstairs. My stomach dropped, but I ignored it. I looked all over up stairs, and I didn't see him. Eventually the only room I didn't look in was his own. I knocked and no one answered. I walked in and saw the worst thing in my life.
Edward and Lauren were making out.
They were saying "I love you" over and over again, so I knew he was cheating on me.
"Edward... how could you do this to me???"
He looked over at my heart broken face. My vision was too blurry to make out his facial expression.
He stayed quite, so I continued.
"Edward, I loved you! For a whole flipping year of my life, I loved you! I told you all of my secrets and feelings and problems at school. You were there for me, or so I thought. I may not be the prettiest girl in the world, but you cheated on me with Lauren? The Lauren we always complain about and call a slut? You said you would do everything for me, and never hurt me. Well, you lied. You have hurt me in the deepest way anyone can. So go back to your make out session, we are through!"
I had kept my voice steady and angry through this whole thing, but as I ran downstairs I started to bawl. I ran through the party and into the kitchen. No one was there, thank God, so I went to the corner and cried. All of those promises he made to me were garbage. All of the kisses and hugs we shared, lies. We had gone through so much together. When his birth mom and dad died, I was there to comfort him and Alice. As they went to go live with their aunt and uncle (Esme and Carlisle) I was there for him and Alice. When my mom died, he was there for me. I just cried and thought about all we had been through until I heard the whole party go quiet. I stood by the kitchen door and watched the scene unfold. Alice was screaming.
"Edward! How could you do this to Bella? She was there for you, SHE WAS THERE FOR US! Does she even know about this?"
"Yes Alice." His voice sounded so broken, but he deserved it.
"Oh my gosh Edward. How could you be so stupid! She was the best thing to ever happen in your life, then you do this! And with Lauren? I mean you could have done better-"
"Don't insult Lauren." That just sent me into another round of sobs. I guess he never loved me.
"Don't insult her? Don't insult the girl you cheated on Bella with?" The whole room gasped. Everyone was looking around, looking for me. I stayed hidden.
"Yea, that's right everyone! Edward cheated on Bella with Lauren! I don't care if you supposedly love her Edward, you hurt Bella!"
All of the sudden I saw my brother looking at me. I waved him over and he came. He held me as I sobbed into his shirt. Alice wasn't done.
"All you went through she loved you. Every little toil and snare she was there for you with love and support. She loved you! She FREAKIN LOVED YOU TO DEATH! This is how you repay her? By breaking her heart and cheating on her? Newsflash Edward: THAT IS THE WRONG WAY TO DO IT."
Everyone was super quite by now. Alice had finally stopped her yelling. She walked down the stairs as everyone stared at her, Edward, and Lauren. Edward and Lauren were silent and didn't move.
I continued to sob as Emmett rubbed my back and said soothing words into my ear. I moved away from my brother and moved towards Edward and Lauren. Everyone gasped at the state I was in, but I couldn't care less. Everyone was whispering about me and patting me on the back. As I climbed the stairs they became quite again. Edward was standing there with no emotion on his face while Lauren was sneering.
"Well, I guess you got what you deserved. Are you happy now Edward? You and your little gal pal can go in public now! Go ahead, we are through so I don't care. Just do me one favor Edward, stay out of my life. Don't come crawling back to me."
I turned around and everyone burst out into applause. I ran back to Emmett and started sobbing again. Soon after everything went black. My heart had been shattered.
