A/N: Bella's outfit is now on my profile page. x

Bella's POV

I awoke the next day at six in the morning. Oh great, a school day. How wonderful. I guess it's not too bad, I mean all I have to do is get through today without seeing the Cullens or break down crying and then it's the weekend. I dragged myself out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and saw that my eyes were still red and puffy from crying last night. Fantastic! Could my life get any worse?

I jumped in the shower and washed quickly. I then went back to my room to get changed. I opened my wardrobe and pulled out my dark grey skinny jeans, AC/DC t-shirt and a black hoodie. I tried to put on a little bit of make up to make my eyes look less puffy but that only worked to a certain degree. I finally gave up with the make up and shoved on my black converse. I scraped my hair into a messy ponytail, grabbed my bag and head straight out of the door.

I drove to school in silence worrying about what might happen. What would happen at school today? Would the Cullens show up? Or would they have left already? I pulled up into the empty school parking lot. I guess I was a little early today. I checked the time and realised I was more than a little early, school wasn't for another half hour.

I stayed sat in my car chewing on my fingernails as the panic and fear of the possibility of seeing them set in. I was staring into space as the rain poured down my windows. I was more worried about seeing Jasper than anyone else. He looked mighty pissed last night and I don't think it helps my case that I was the one who broke it to him not-so-gentle that his wife was fucking my ex-fiancé.

I broke out of my trance when I heard someone banging on my window. I jumped slightly and turned to see Mike Newton standing there.

"Hello? Bella? Is anybody there? Are you gonna get outta your car? The bell has just gone time to get inside and start another productive day." He said sarcastically. I glanced around the parking lot to see it full of cars. I put my hood up and got out of the car, rushing to the school's entrance. If I stayed out any longer I would just end up searching to see if I could find one of their cars.

"Hey, are you okay? You seemed pretty zoned out back there." Mike asked. I really didn't want to talk about this right now especially with Mike. Knowing him he'd probably hit on me as soon as I said I broke up with Edward.

"I'm good. I just feel a little under the weather is all. Nothing to worry about." I replied. I quickly made my way to class. As soon as I stepped into the classroom I wanted to turn right back around again.

Sat in the seat next to mine was Edward Cullen. I slowly walked over and took my seat without looking at him. I was afraid that if I did I would just burst into hysterics. I couldn't let that happen. I would not let him see me cry.

"Hello Bella." Edward said quietly only loud enough for me to hear. I chose to ignore him. Not just because I didn't want to talk to that lying, cheating asshole, but because I don't think I could keep myself together if I opened my mouth to speak to him. So I kept quiet but he was still persistent. He continued, "Please Bella. Listen to me. You have to know that I love you more than anything in this world. What happened with Alice meant nothing to me. It's you I want to be with. You have to forgive me."

"I don't have to do shit Edward." I whispered angrily, trying not to disturb the whole class. "If it really meant nothing to you then why did do it? I hope it was worth ruining our relationship, our lives. You screwed up and now you have to deal with the consequences. Just know that I will never forgive you for this. Leaving me was one thing but this, this is just inexcusable. So don't come to me begging and pleading for forgiveness. You know, this time yesterday I thought there was nothing you could do that could hurt me this much but you went and proved me wrong, didn't you? And what worse is you knew I would have had sex with you. This makes me feel even more like shit because you would prefer to fuck Alice, your 'sister', rather than me, your ex-fiancé." I finish surprisingly without tears. Right now I just felt pure anger pouring off of every cell. I felt a little better looking into his eyes and seeing how much my words had hurt him.

I couldn't stand to be here with him, so I raised my hand to get the teacher's attention. I asked if I could go to the bathroom and Mr Austin reluctantly let me go not before telling me to use the bathroom before I leave the house in the morning. Smartass. I just needed to cool off before I ended up hitting Edward and breaking my hand.

On my way back from the bathroom I bumped into something hard and fell flat on my ass. I really have to stop zoning out. As I looked up I realised I didn't bump into something, I bumped into someone. Panic and fear started to flood my body as I saw him stood right in front of me. He just looked down at me his face expressionless. It soon changed into one full of confusion as soon as he felt my emotions. I couldn't move. I was paralysed by fear, after how I saw him react to Edward and Alice yesterday. I wonder what he'll do to me, the girl who broke up his marriage. If I didn't open my mouth none of them would have ever known. They would have been a happy family.

"I don't think it's really that comfortable down there. Or sanitary for that matter." Jasper said with a small smirk on his face as he held out his hand for me. I reluctantly took it, afraid he might rip my arm clean off. "Why are you so terrified of me?" He asked genuinely.

"I don't know, it could have something to do with you going all crazy yesterday." I said before I could stop myself. My eyes widened as I looked at him but instead of ripping my throat out he laughed. I suddenly felt confused.

"Bella I'm sorry if I scared you yesterday but I was just so made at Edward and Alice for what they did. I mean, can you blame me?" He asked.

"No, I guess not. I thought you would have been mad at me. You know, considering I was the one who told you about them." I replied honestly.

"Bella, I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you told me otherwise I'd be stuck in a loveless relationship. Besides, I probably would have found out sooner or later so I'm just relieved it was sooner." He said. I was relieved to know he felt that way. I realised we were still holding hands and immediately let go.

"I better get back to the class from hell. Don't wanna give Mr Austin another excuse to hate me. Thanks for helping me up. It was very kind of you." I started to babble like and idiot. What the hell is wrong with me? He started chuckling lightly.

"No worries darlin'. It's my pleasure to help a young lady like yourself, especially since I was the one who knocked you down." He said with a heartbreaking smirk. I blushed crimson. "So I'll see you at lunch. I doubt Edward and Alice will be there. Emmett gave them a clear warning to stay the hell away from you. Only he said it in a more impolite way."

"Sure. Lunch sounds good. See you then." I said as I walked down the hall back to my class.
