Over the next few days I had managed to find my self an apartment in a set of flats on the outskirts of forks. It was actually quite comfortable, I was able to use some of the old Cullen's furniture and that was at times a small comfort and reminder of what was, a sense of familiarity. I also managed to find my self a job in a piano bar as a singer. I know, that sounds so un-Bella like of me but I was able to let my heartbreak and sadness out through my songs. And so for the last three months since leaving Charlie's home, I've been miserable but I was coping. I attended school, I worked, I even occasionally stopped by Charlie's to chat but I didn't stay long.
I'm alive and that's all that matters, right? But if I was to knew that today, my short lived moments of peace were going to end, I would have stayed in bed.
Today started like any other Monday morning. I woke up, I showered, I skipped breakfast. I then got dressed; skinny grey jeans, purple top, grey jacket. I then grabbed my flats, slipped them of and hopped into my loyal truck and drove to school. My heart stopped the moment I entered the parking lot. Their they were. All of them. All of the Cullen family, even Esme and Carlisle. It confused me to why they would be here, but then I realised if Edward etc were to come back to school Esme and Carlisle would have to sign some forms. But they couldn't be back, why would they be? Why now? Why would they do this to me? What surprised me most was that when I looked at them, all I felt was anger. Anger at them for have leaving, anger at them for coming back. Someone up there must hate me.
I decided to remain cool and composed, or as much so as I could considering the situation. I drove straight past them and parked four spaces down from them, turned the keys, and stepped out of my safe haven.
Stupid drivers seat being this side. Of course I would have to get out and see there faces as I did so. Stupid Bella. Stupid! So, where was I? Oh yes, I stepped out the car and clumsy me, tripped. I was about to fall head first but I grabbed old of the car beside me and managed to retain some dignity. See I don't need no stupid, super-quick and strong vamp to save my life! HAHAHA!
It wasn't till a few moments later I realised I was actually laughing, me laughing?! So there's the rest of my dignity gone, I'm laughing at a crappy joke inside my mind! I looked up, amused expressions were on the Cullen's faces. Emmett looked like he was about to explode with laughter. How dare they! How dare they laugh at me. I stopped laughing, gave them my coldest "if looks could kill" stares and walked in the opposite directions, towards my first lesson.
"Bella?" It was Alice, and damn my human reflexes, I turned. Her expression was of confusion, sorrow and happiness. "Yes Pixie?" I replied. "We're sor-" I stopped her right there, "Don't you dare finish that sentence if you value your life". And with that I walked of. I don't know where my newfound confidence came from but I liked it, and I know it was kind of pointless to threaten a vampires life, but right now I just couldn't care less. I carried on walking until I reached my English class and I took my seat at the back of the class, praying to God to not let any of the Cullens be in this class. My prayers were not answered and in walked the Adonis himself. Edward.
