"Stop!"
I kept going.
"Bella, stop!"
I can hear him getting closer, but I kept moving. There's no way I'm stopping, I don't want to hear his excuses. I'm suddenly jerked back and my face is in his hands.
"Look at me. Come back inside, please baby, she means nothing to me."
I stare into his eyes, glaring daggers.
"Really, you're going with that line. How cliche Jacob. So I suppose it was all a mistake and won't happen again?"
"Yes!"
"I read the messages Jake, I saw the pictures, that was no mistake. It's been going on for four months, we've been together for 10. So about half of our relationship you've spent with another woman. Goodbye Jacob. Someone will be by for my stuff later, I don't ever want to see your sorry ass again."
I finally made to my car in the parking garage and get in slamming the door. I put the car in drive and pull out leaving a dumbfounded Jacob in the rearview mirror.
I can't believe I wasted 10 months with that jerk. Jake and I met the summer before our last year of high school and became instant friends. The day we graduated he asked me to become his girlfriend. We made it through the summer and then decided to move in together since we were going to the same college. We a found a cute little complex by the University of Washington where we would be attending school. We were both from a little town called Forks about three hours from Seattle. Well he was from there, I didn't move there until the summer we met. I am originally Phoenix, Arizona. My family and I moved to Forks because my dad got offered a job as the Chief of Police and my parents were looking for a change of pace.
So here I am no place to live and in the middle of my freshman year. What the hell do I do now?
Three months later:
I just finished my last exam of the year and packed up all my stuff from my dorm. After I moved out of the apartment I shared with Jacob I went to the school and begged for a dorm room. The only available one left was a single, which I wasn't complaint about. Now that all my stuff is in my truck, including the boxes I had my parents bring up with them, I was ready to head out. I decided I needed a fresh start away from Jacob and his new girlfriend Emily, the one he said meant nothing to him. I applied to transfer to NYU in New York, all the way across the country.
"Are you sure this is what you want Bells?"
Ah my dad, Charlie, I was his baby girl, the apple of his eye. I can't believe I'm saying goodbye.
"Yes daddy I'm sure. This is what I want, a fresh start, a chance to find myself."
"Could you at least wait until school starts back, do you have to leave now?"
"If I wait until school starts I won't have anytime to settle in and find a job and explore the city. I love you dad, but this is what I want."
I could see the tears starting to form in his eyes and my mom was already bawling. I turned and gave them each a hug and a kiss on the cheek. With one last I love you I hop in my truck and drive away.
It takes me about two days to get to my new home. I make it to my apartment complex and meet the landlord. Once I'm squared away I start moving boxes into my new place. My roommate isn't here. I answered an ad on craigslist for someone looking for a new roommate due to their last one being a 'cheating asshole', I think we will get along just fine. Her name was Rosalie and from the emails we have exchanged sharing our stories we have become fast friends. She's amazing and if I were not 100% straight I'd ask her to marry me. Even though we haven't officially met I know we will have no problems being roommates.
Two hours later all my stuff is put away in my room and for the most part unpacked. I'm sitting at the bar in the kitchen making a list of things I need from the store. I have almost finished when I hear the door open. This is it, that must me Rosalie. I stay where I am waiting for her to come through the kitchen. About five minutes later Rosalie walks in the kitchen. She gorgeous, long wavy blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, perfect brows, and killer legs. When she sees me she smiles.
"Bella, hi! It's so good to finally meet you. Did you find the place ok? How was your trip?"
"Hey, it's nice to finally meet you too. My trip was long and tiring, but I had no trouble finding the place. I have already unpacked almost everything and was just making a list for the store."
She takes the seat next to me after putting her stuff on the island.
"The place is beautiful, I love the apartment and the view is incredible."
The kitchen window overlooked central park and since it was summer and the weather was nice it was filled with lots of laughter and joy, just what I needed.
"I'm glad you like it and that you're settled in. Why don't I go to the store with you? I can show you around and we can grab some dinner, then go get whatever you need."
"That sounds great! Let me go change out of my moving clothes and then I'm ready."
After we both changed we headed out to her red BMW and spent the night touring the city before getting a slice of New York's finest and heading to the store.
After arriving back to the apartment and putting the groceries away we said our good nights and headed to bed. I texted my parents that I had settled and seen some sights and that I would talk to them tomorrow. I put my phone on the charger and turned out my lamp.
Tomorrow would be the first official day of my new start and I couldn't be more excited.
