I do not own anything.
Chapter One-
Today of all days, I had to actually break a relationship. Normally, I'm the one to fix them; but today was the day I finally escaped my hell. Forks. It was the day I was going to break all ties with Edward.
In order to get away from him without chasing me down, his family proposed the idea of our marriage. Edward was still convinced I was more than just his singer, so it worked. There wouldn't be an actual wedding since there would be nothing but a mock ceremony. Plus, it was thought that it would be better if the Cullen's were just there. Less witnesses in case something went wrong, I guess.
Several months ago, another one of Jasper's vampire friends came to visit. He had too been fighting in the Civil War. We immediately hit it off, more than I had with Edward. Jasper had said that our connection was so deep and immediate, it was like we had known each other for years. Alice and him discovered that Damon and I were vampire mates.
They then came up with a plan to take me away from Forks and I'd go live with Alice's sister in Virginia until they could find Damon again.
Since we've decided to stage the mock-wedding, I've done everything I could to get Edward to walk away. I've went out with Mike, got drunk at Jessica's birthday party, gotten into a fist fight with Lauren and I've made out with Jake. It pissed him off but he didn't react at least until he saw Jake and me.
While lecturing and screaming at me, he hit me. He slapped my face to hard I thought my head would permanently be to the side, and slamming my back into the refrigerator. The bruise on my back would be easy to hide, but my cheek? No so much.
Edward's black eyes pierced my brown ones. "You will marry me- whether you like it or not. You cannot stop this wedding Bella," He lifted his arm and slapped my left cheek so hard I stumbled back in to the fridge. I knew there wasn't enough foundation and concealer in the world to be able to hide the monstrous bruise from Charlie.
I called Carlisle as Charlie stood over my shoulder, his temper rising. Esmé answered the phone on the second ring. "Esmé?" I sobbed quietly.
"Darling, what's the matter?" Esme's concern made my anger rise. I quickly handed the phone to my dad and ran to the bathroom. I threw up my dinner and cried. I washed my face and listened to Charlie talk urgently to Carlisle.
I haven't seen Edward since that night. My bruises were a faded ugly yellow and were easy to cover up with a light application of foundation and concealer. We were willing to give him a false wedding, up until we'd say vows. Jasper would take me away to Mystic Falls. Nearly all of my belongings had been shipped to my Grandma Marie, and I knew that I'd be happy and finally normal, I mean, besides the vampire best friends.
"Dad?" I yelled from the kitchen. "Dinner is ready." I decided to make him a special dinner because it was going to be our last night together. I made steak, potatoes on the grill, sweet tea, rolls and an apple pie.
Our dinner was unusually quiet, but we both needed it. I cleaned off the dishes and stored away leftovers and joined Charlie on the couch.
The phone rang and I answered, knowing it was Edward.
"You will be there tomorrow, yes?" Edward snarled softly.
"Yes, Edward. You and I both know that." It took everything I could not to call him a thousand names on the spot.
"Good. See you tomorrow, love." He hung up the phone and I snorted.
"Right, I really doubt you love me." I mumbled to myself.
"Bells? I need to go over to Billy's. Jake will be getting back and I'm going to tell him, okay?" I smiled to myself. Charlie really couldn't help it.
"It's alright Dad, you know I don't mind." I hugged him tight and watched him drive away.
In futile attempts to not be alone, I texted Alice and asked if Rose and her wanted to come over and hang out. She quickly agreed. I clicked the shuffle button on my iPod, while connecting it to the radio. Sexy Silk by Jessie J began to play (Easy A) I turned and smiled at Rose. It was a "bachelorette" party, wasn't it?
Soon after Rose and Alice arrived, Jasper and Emmet followed. They didn't want to miss out on my last night in Forks. I had no idea what my future held but I was anxious in finding peace in my new life. I was happy, and handed been in a long time. I knew they could tell, especially Jasper.
"I wish I could be this blissfully happy with someone." I blurted out. Jasper looked at me and smiled. "I mean I'm with you guys but..."
He nodded. "You want your lover, I know. You can only be blissfully happy with that someone. Do you want to dance?" I smiled.
Jasper and I swirled around my backyard as my stereo blasted music. "You know, we're not going to let Edward hurt you again. I am so sorry he hit you." I leaned on his shoulder and hugged him.
"Thank you, you have no idea how much that means to me." Jasper nodded and quickly stepped back as Alice simultaneously came up and swooped me up into her arms.
"I need to talk to you!" She squealed.
She closed my bedroom door behind her, and sat with me on my bed. Alice became serious and grasped my shoulders. "Bella, I had a vision about your mate and you. I don't really know what to tell you except that when you wake up, everything will be different. For everyone, especially you." Alice hugged me tightly and placed something in my hands. "Please wear this before you go to bed, alright?"
I opened my palm and discovered an antique looking ring. "Edwardian Era," Alice whispered. It was a thin gold ring with little circles carved on both sides of a single diamond. It wasn't a large diamond, but it wasn't too small either. I slipped it on my right ring finger and beamed at Alice. I'm not sure what it meant but I could only imagine it was better than pretending to marry Edward.
Around two, I finally decided to get some sleep. Alice's words floated around my head as I drifted off to sleep. I didn't dream.
