Chapter 3

Bella's POV

Well that shocked them. Hahaha. I guess they didn't look the place up before they came to piss me off.

"So, I'm going to ask one more and then Sarah and I are going back inside. Why are you here?" I was getting tired of dealing with them and Sarah was getting close to passing out. I was struggling to hold her up.

I looked around at all of them and no one said anything. Rolling my eyes and shaking my head. "Let me guess, Edward wanted to see me again after Alice and Esme came to visit today. And now he's too chicken shit to say anything like normal and you all are sticking with him. Okay well I've got better things to do than play your silly little games so, peace out losers!" I yelled as I dragged Sarah away pulling the finger behind me. Dumbasses need to get away from each other sometimes and get some space.

As we were walking back up to the club mine and Gerald's song came on. It was one of the many songs that he wrote about me but this one was my favourite. I turned to Sarah and we both screamed and started rappin along to the song. Getting all the words right course.

Once we were back inside, we partied the rest of the night away hard. Sex, drugs and alcohol were the words for the night as they are very night at my club. At around 6am I called Scott to come pick us up and so Sarah, Gerald and I dragged each other out to the car trying to avoid the paparazzi, lucky the sun was starting to come out so there where no Cullen's around to annoy me. The four of us curled into bed together at mine.


As much as I tried, I couldn't sleep. Seeing them all had my head racing. I had so many questions but I didn't want to be thinking these things. I didn't want to go back to obsessing over them like Young Bella would.

I snuck out of bed while everyone was sleeping, glad that I had a massive California king bed that could fit all of us. Walking into the living room I took a look around my place. I really did love it here I owned the penthouse in one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan, it was a massive three-story high apartment, 6 bedrooms, 5 baths and a massive balcony with a pool! It was so hard to find anything in New York with more then 4 beds so I was so lucky to find this place. It was one of the best things I've ever brought.

Sitting down on the couch I threw my legs up on the coffee table right as my dog Molly a black Labrador came and cuddled up beside me on the couch. She was my rock. I spent so many nights cuddled up crying to her, not that she could ever understand why I was crying but she still helped. I was just about to lean over and pat her when she started barking like mad. Then I felt the couch dip beside me.

"Mol shhh. Shut up, it's alright" I said with a sigh. I knew exactly who had just sat down beside me.

"Really, you have a dog?" Edward said

"Yeah I needed a guard dog to keep annoying vampires out but I guess that doesn't work so I'll have to invite the werewolves over." I snapped back.

"So, you know about them too?" He asked

"Well yeah. Clearly you didn't read my books then." Rolling my eyes. God, I forgot how annoying he could be.

"No, I just couldn't bring myself to read them."

"Yeah I wouldn't either honestly. It's a pretty cringy story. Young Bella was so weak and needy." I said. It was true, I was weak and needy back then and I made Bella in the story weak as well.

"No, you weren't" Edward said quietly.

"I know I'm going to regret asking this. But why are you here? I swear that's all I've been saying the part 24hours"

"Well I think we should talk about things."

"Ugh I've got nothing to say to you or any of your family and I wish you would all leave me alone." I really hope I won't have to move. I really do love this place.

"But we have a lot to say to you and we wish you would stop icing us out." He said

"But I like icing people out. It's fun to watch them squirm." I said with an eyebrow raise. Almost daring him to doubt me "If I talk will you all leave me alone? I'm trying to do what you said and live a human life without you"

"No one will be happy if I agree to that. They all miss you so much. But we'll leave you alone."

"Really? All of them? Even selfish Rosalie who I made a house hold name and yet she still has to hide? She wants to see me? Maybe I'll bring Sarah along for round two" I said thinking out loud. Sarah really would love it too.

"Bella, I know you don't believe it but we all still care about you. Its been a rough 11years without you." Did he really think trying to sweet talk me would work?

"Fine I'll come over on Monday after work." I want this over already. I have a festival this weekend and don't want to deal with them following me around.

"Why not tonight?" he asked

"I've got plans. I'm a busy woman Edward, you can't expect me to drop everything for people I don't even like" I don't really but I need a couple of days to warm up to this.

"Okay" He said looking defeated. It must be hard for him to be around him after finding out about our baby.

When he told me where they were living, I had to laugh. I just about brought that place last month! I kind of wish I did now. Maybe it would've kept them away.


Saturday night was a chill one at home. I had to be sober for court on Monday so I couldn't get too wasted. We still partied thought. The four of us and I invited Laura around. I'm trying to set her up with Scott, they would make such a cute couple. I think they hit it off really well too.

Sunday, Sarah and I went shopping. I needed to let loose and relax. So that's what we did. We spent thousands on 5th avenue. Bouncing from shop to shop filling the car with shopping bags. Talking shit and laughing away.

"So, what the hell was that on Friday?" She asked. Damnit, I knew this was coming. Way to ruin a good day.

"Honestly, I don't even know really. First Alice and Esme show up at my office on Friday. I don't even know how they found me it's not like I go by Bella Swan anymore and none businesses or property are in my name. So, they really couldn't have found me. God, I don't even look the same as I used to." It was true my appearance had changed a bit since they had last seen me.

Because of the books I couldn't stay a small brown-haired shy girl from a small rainy town, everyone would catch on too easy that I was the girl from the books. I couldn't risk it even thought I made sure to cover my tracks and that the actor I hired to play the writer, would always say how she made the story up.

How did I change? Well just after the break up I did what all girls and died my hair. I went blonde, but blonde in law school was a bit too 'Legally Blonde' and I didn't want that kind of attention. So, I let it grow out and now I've got a brown to blonde ombre colour. Also when I was younger I got a boob job. I know it was silly and dumb but it was a fun little thing to do for me, and the ladies love it!

"That's weird, I wonder how they found you. I know I didn't say anything. Honest." She said with her hand on her heart. I had to laugh she was such a dork sometimes. We were laughing at each other and holding hands as we walked into Victoria's Secret. When Sarah looked up and immediately froze.

"What, what is it?" I said as I looked up and saw what she saw. Alice and Rosalie. They were standing at a rack of bras staring at us. My mouth dropped. I grabbed Sarah's arm and spun around running out of the store. When we were out of sight of the shop we started cracking up.

"Oh. My. God." I said between laughs. "I'm never going to get away from them"

"No, I don't think they will ever leave you alone." She said

"Ugh I know. But hopefully after tomorrow they will." I said with a sigh.

"Wait what? What's happening tomorrow?"

"Well he came over yesterday while you were all sleep and I agreed to go see them tomorrow and talk everything out. I only agreed to it as long as they left me alone afterwards. I really couldn't care less about what they have to say I just wanted them off my back" I said

"What! Like to your apartment? He was in your apartment? Yesterday? When we were all asleep in bed together?" Sarah tends to be a wee bit dramatic sometimes.

"Hahah yeah well you guys were asleep together. I wasn't. I couldn't sleep so I got up to cuddle with Molly and he appeared like he does. He's probably been stalking me, he's a weirdo like that."

"That is weird. He is weird." She said

"I know! I've been trying to tell you that for years! Haha but you've been to obsessed like the rest of them" I said with an eye roll.

"Do you think Edwards in love with you again?"

"Ugh I hope not. I've moved on and they all need to move on too. Ugh how bad is it that I don't just have to deal with an ex but with his whole family as well!?"

"Yeah I know it's a little creepy" She said as we stepped into my apartment's elevator. We had concert to go to that night that we had to get ready for and I had a whole day's worth of shopping to hit before Chuck comes back on Tuesday.
