One two three
And there is still no self destruction button before me, just two angry cats, flames filled with immense anger and hatred. My two best friends Scarlett, and Alice. One I have known all my child hood life, they other just a few months, but has made it feel as if a life time. At the moment I am doubting them both, they shouldn't be doing this, and I shouldn't be here watching. I shouldn't be watching flames compete with more flames, I cant watch the burning of lives and trust and love. I cant watch anymore.
"I cant do this!" I yelled throwing my hands up, my cheeks burning. I could feel every fiber in my body giving up, as I turned and dashed outside the parlor, that in my opinion was going to soon burn down if the two didn't stop their feud. I tried my best to not trip over my own two feet as I stormed off and into the loud streets of New York. Finding it much more comforting than the little parlor I was forced into. I put my hands in my pockets, watching my breath like mist in the groggy air. People pushed past me, as I stood in the way of the busy sidewalk. Pushing past me so forcefully I almost wanted to scream out in anger, just knock someone over. That's when I heard it.
"Bella?" The voice was unfamiliar, it was soft, yet worried. It was beautiful. I prayed it wasn't Alice, or Scarlett, I prayed it wasn't Mike or someone I just couldn't stand to see at the moment.
"Bella?" The voice called again, and I was so close to collapsing into coma.
"Bella?" The voice asked just once more, and arms caught around me, pulling me closer, as the voice got much closer. I pulled into a chest, a strong chest. I squeezed my eyes shut as the warm arms wrapped around me, and I had no idea who was holding me, but I was instantly comforted, ready to cry and tell them all about my dreadful day.
"Are you okay?" The soft voice, was now clear, and I cursed my self for even thinking it could be Mike's horrid voice, or Alice or Scarlett's tiny feminine voice. It was obviously a man, and just to get a peak, I turned my head up, my cheek rubbing against his soft coat, and let my eyes open slowly. I was met with piercing green eyes, that could only belong to one person.
"Edward?" I gasped.
"Yeah." He smiled, the most breathtaking smile I have ever laid eyes on, and I knew he was quite famous for that.
"What are you doing here?" I pushed back so I could get a better look at his perfect face, hair, teethe. It almost made me jealous.
"I came to grab Alice, I knew what she was up to." He sighed, running a hand through his tousled bronze hair.
"Oh." I all of a sudden was out of breath.
"Are they still in there?"
"Yeah." I felt tears coming as I thought of their exchanging of cruel words.
"I'm sorry." Edward rubbed my back, and I realized we have hardly even spoken more than three words to each other in the past, and now he's comforting me outside off the little parlor, where death should be coming soon.
"Where is Jasper?" I sniffed.
"He leaves for Texas soon, he cant take it anymore." Edward sighed deeply, and I could see the stress deep with in his green orbs. It must hurt on his part, losing his best friend, almost brother thing. And having to go through hell with his cousin almost sister, plus his fondness for Scarlett.
"I'm sorry." I apologized this time, and his eyes softened as they looked directly into my eyes. I wondered for a second if he could see the pain in my eyes as well, the loss of two good friends, and a family I never even knew I had.
"Its what happens when you love two different people." Edward gave me a squeeze, and I returned the hug gratefully. And I staid their gratefully as well, letting him hug me for as long as he wanted. I could use a hug, I could use at lease just one friend in this whole thing. I know everyone cares about me still but it just wont work out, we cant be together like we use to. And everyone loved Scarlett and Alice as well, making everything just easier to destroy. And even worse Scarlett and Alice loved each other. Someone busted out of the parlor, screaming things at someone inside, their voice strained and pained, and it was obvious this person was sobbing. Edward and I were both startled by the sound, and like most people around us we looked to the parlor doors, where Scarlett was stumbling towards us, hr pale blue eyes red and puffy with tears. Alice wasn't following behind her, but I could guess that she looked similar.
"Oh Scarlett." I broke out of Edward's comforting grip to wrap my arms around my best friend, my almost sister, my other half. I knew Edward would follow behind me, I could feel his presence still. If anyone liked Scarlett it was Edward, if Alice wasn't already in the crazy, exciting cousin/sister place, then Scarlett sure would.
"I cant do this anymore." She sobbed into my shoulder, her tiny body shaking with so much pain, I still considered her strong.
"Everything is going to work out Scar." I whispered as tears of my own rolled down my cheek.
"I'm going to ask Edward to take you home now." I patted her back, my voice shaky.
"Edward's here?" She lifted her head, her voice still shaky and startled.
"Yeah." Edward answered for me.
"Edward I'm so sorry." Scarlett broke out of my hold and fell right into Edward's, his green eyes dim and sad.
"Don't be sorry, it not you're fault." He rubbed her back gently as she gripped to him.
"Take her home please." I sniffed and Edward nodded silently. The two of them began to walk behind the building to where Edward's car would be parked. I waited for Alice to erupt from the parlor but she never did, so I dragged myself right back in, only to find Alice sitting in the middle of the empty beauty parlor store, that she had worked so hard to create. She had it all planned out and now everything was falling apart. She was sniffing, letting out soft sobs, as she sat looking on the ground. She didn't even look to see who had come in. Seeing her like that, so sad, so lost, it broke my heart just as much, it made me want to hurt who ever did this to her, it made me want to cry along with her, it made me want to do all the things I want to do when I see Scarlett cry. I practically ran to her side, not stumbling once, and I wrapped my arms around her, giving her a tight squeeze.
"Alice, oh Alice." I cried with her.
"Its not fair." She sobbed turning her body so she was crying on my shoulder as we sat on the cold floor.
"I know, I know." I rubbed her back softy.
"She's my best friend. I love her." Alice sobbed even harder at the statement that had just escaped her trembling lips. She looked up at me, her dark blue eyes red and puffy.
"I know." A sob escaped my lips.
"But I love Jasper. I love him so much." She cried. There was nothing I could do to soothe Scarlett and Alice's pain. The world was falling apart, and there was nothing I could possibly do, but just sit and watch the flames destroy everything.
"Shh Alice." I let her sob on my shoulder.
A/N: Tell me what you think and if i should continue. :]
