Club Green Diamonds
"Van To Mansion"
Chapter 1
A/N:So this is going to be my first story on this account, I'm not exactly sure how long its going to be, but I'm guessing around 20 chapters or so...
Reviews are extremely appreciated.
I'm thinking I'll keep the story to at least one chapter a week, however I'm pretty sure I'm going to release more than that., in fact I'm about to star on Chapter 2.
As you can tell, in this story, Bella and Edward haven't met. But they will in the next chapter, which I'm posting tonight.
"Bella I'm sorry, I really am, but I can't afford a tenant that can never pay their bills"
"I understand Sue, I just..."
I just what? I just need a few more days so I can search for another job, knowing they'll never hire me with my history? A few more days so that if on the off chance I get the job, I have to work a week before I possibly get a check, and another week before I wig out again and I'm in the exact same situation? Is that what I'm going to say? To this woman that took me in so willingly the moment that I needed help. The one that helped me look for jobs, and when I episodes were frequent would hold me until I fell asleep? The woman that spent plenty of her life savings on me and my family my entire life, and now in her old age was forced to begin working again? Did I really have the nerve to ask for more time, again? Because I knew very well she would never really kick me out, she'd give me her last penny if I asked for it. I knew it, and it tempted me.
I could always move off of the Reservation and move back in with Charlie, I knew he needed the extra hand, but I just couldn't see myself having to him again.
Mike.
The thought alone made shivers run through my body and I knew, going back there would be to much to bare. I'd simply just have to find another option.
"I just need one week Sue, I promise I'll be out."
Sue jerked her head up shocked, and a little broken heart, I knew it was killing her, I was the daughter she never had.
"Bella, I'm sure you could go stay with Jac-" The look I gave her stopped her mid-sentence.
"Jacob isn't an option, I need to let him go on with his life Sue. Just give me a week to get things figured out."
"Bella, just take as much time as you need. I know a week isn't enough time to do anything, but a month should help."
"Thank you Sue. I promise, I'll be gone then"
"I know you will"She said dropping her head and turning out of my apartment and shut the door behind her.
Now, it was up to me to keep my word.
I've always been a responsible and sensible person, the one to always get things done. The majority of my teenage life, I was taking care of other people, but it all changed when I met Mike. At first, I was wary of him, but being forced to be around him due to our mutual friends, made me see a part of him I didn't think he had. Yes he was loud, pretty annoying, and a little to wild for me, but he had dreams, goals. He was sweet and caring, protective I have to admit, but being around him gave me a thrill, as if my body was always telling me he was dangerous. At first I believed he would break my heart, then I thought he would turn me into an adrenaline junkie, then I ignored my gut. I forgot my upbringing, and fell into the 'just live a little' mentality. I let my guard down and I lived. I lived loudly, wildly, carelessly. Later, I would realize we never loved each other, that we had no passion for each other, but for the things we did together. My friend Jacob tried to step in when he noticed how reckless I'd become. I should have known it was too far, once upon a time I thought Jacob was crazy. Mike and I continued to date after high school, and moved in with each other, until it happened. None of us asked for it, Jacob and I didn't expect it. Oh Jacob, I was supposed to protect him, he shouldn't have had to see the things he saw. He shouldn't have had to do what he did. He tells me it wasn't my fault, that I didn't know what was going to happen.
But I should have.
I felt a tear drop and glide down my cheek before I wiped it away, and grabbed my bag and keys. I was going to keep my promise to Sue, but first, I needed to look for a job.
