Thank you dips for faving this story and corky, 4gracie04 for your kind reviews!

Mike had fun while playing the role of Michael, Kristen's first serious love as Edward and Jacob grunted in silence waiting for their parts .

Billy had no problem in Jacob's acting in the skit; Jacob was let off from patrols by the Elders so as not to arouse suspicion on him.

Bella and Jacob had a blast playing the role of friends , Kristen and Taylor ,while playing the famous movie stars in making who had become friends.

They were real best friends in life and with Mr . Berty 's help in playing the role , they were getting better each day by day in portrating their roles on stage .

After 2 weeks with dress rehearsals, dialogue, props, background change, everyone who were involved in the play were up to the mark as Mr. Berty's constant follow up on everyone's work .

Mark, john and Maria who had flunked in his subject were handling sound, lightning, back stage prompt and props on stage. Mr. Berty's daughter Tina who was a manager in a modelling agency gave all the actors in the play, awesome model castoffs to practise in the play .

Jacob looked awesome and mouthwatering to Bella when he wore the awesome clothes .

Many girls started salivating and drooling behind his back, Bella couldn't blame them as he looked so ….whenever he came out wearing his dapper clothes.

He was not broody anymore and was calm now, before he had phased...She managed to hide with great diffciulty her increasing attraction to Jacob .

She found that she was getting very well in acting , because Edward even being in the vicinity of the stage couldn't read her like he used to be earlier .

1 month later; Enacting last part of the play

Bella: I am sorry, rob. It was a momentary discretion. I just couldn't take the fear of failure of a child actor who flopped after she did a big movie franchise. You said we won't get any work in an interview to a magazine. I was not interested in doing music with you.I love acting, damn it! I was so afraid!"

She started sobbing while sitting down on the stage while she held Edward's hand. Edward was playing Robert, her co star and boyfriend .

Edward: Well, was it necessary to do that ? You didn't believe yourself, Kristen! THAT'S RIDICULOUS! Who am I to predict our future? Even I am not getting any substantial offers ; did I stoop as low as you? You dilly dallied in a married director's arm .You cheated on me! How long it has been going on behind my back?

Then letting his hand drop from Bella with force , Edward asked facing the other side of the stage "Did you sleep with him?"

"No! I had gone silly. It was for the first time we kissed .. and the paparazzi caught us, Rob. Please believe me!"

"Ok. I forgive you. But I need some space" said Edward and went away.

The scene changed again with background and props showing a mourning mood.

Bella played Kirsten's depressed part very well who refused to talk or shower regularly.

People who used to be her fans and friends left her. It was representedon stage by seven people standing around her and booed her for cheating on Robert. lead by Lauren in the front.

The fragile girl who was depressed herself broke down narrated Angela and then getting her cue Bella cowered down in front of the crowd, defeated and shamed.

Then a bright light comes and Jacob comes pushing all of them and comforts her" I don't care about them .I care for you! They are singling you out. I don't know why, even brad Pitt and even Lara croft did it!"

"It's Jolie; not Croft, Tay" she said smiling a little for the first time.

Then the lights went off and Jacob had to leave Bella. She let go off his warm arms unwillingly. The separation in the play caused many memories of Edward leaving her come to the fore. Like Kristen, no one believed her or even listened to her, everyone was busy blaming her, as it was not enough she had blamed herself already.

After the background of the stage changed, Edward came and Bella hid her emotions and continued with the play.

The next scene was Kristen and Robert were celebrating his birthday party which was organized by her,. Angela narrated bella was happy and feeling lucky that rob came back and forgave her, she even said to his friends who had come to the party. Robert was fiddling with her cell while she talked with the guests at the party.

Edward: What's this, that scum's no is still in your phone?

Bella: believe me I didn't call him. You can check my phone; it's in very old callers list. I have not touched my phone since you went away Australia. I was with Taylor; you can see the newspapers too . People are staring at us! She tugged Edward from stage as she pleaded " Calm down, we can talk about it afterwards, please "

Bella could feel the humiliation Kirsten was undergoing, and then she started crying .

Her love of her life was humiliating her in front of everyone. He could have easily let out his heart content in thier privacy or broken up earlier without forgiving her in the first palce . But no, he took her back and insulted her in front of everyone.

Edward got tensed on seeing Bella crying .

It was not written in the play, he looked over Mr. berty for some signal to end the scene but saw him too engrossed in the play. He had no option but to carry on as the other people begin to whisper that Bella has immersed herself that she started crying when it wasn't in the script.

"Why are you crying now? The whole world is laughing on me, poor Robert! I am so humiliated in media. It's over; I can't take anymore of your cheating ass, Kris!"Saying this he started to storm out .

Bella was not supposed to retort back but she could not help answering back, she knew she was to heal alone inspite of bearing public humiliation every day.

Before Edward could go away, Bella replied back . She had completely transformed into her character Kirsten and decided to answer back ; she felt right as she screamed ." That's rich! How come you seduced me from Michael? He was my first love. He didn't disrespect me or diss at me while promoting his movie when you broke us apart . Not one of these so called fans had any problem then on my break up with him."

She sighed "He was a victim too! Inspite of being cautioned by the director of the movie not to influence my teenage mind with your chivalries, DID YOU LISTEN! How can I be happy, with you who cares so little much of my self respect, Robert. I am going out!"saying this Bella went from the stage as Edward eyes widened .

He forgot his role and tried to hug her back to stop her from going and comfort her . She looked so distressed .

Bella pushed him away slightly as he stopped trying to stop her from leaving .

At Bella' s home

"Bells ..What are you thinking? You cut your finger and were going to cut it again "Jacob shouted as he took her near the sink to wash her blood. She was turning little green .

"Don't breathe honey , I got the bandages " said Jacob as he found it easily in her supplies. He slowly and carefully applied the bandage on her finger.

"All done !" his eyes again looked at her but now there was no anger that had been minutes ago but only pain.
