Well my lovely fans of Sweet sweet Freesias! I baaaaaaaaaaaack! Did ya' miss me? I know it's been so long since I updated, and there is no excuse… well maybe some. When I went to France, I got stuck in the third week. I was sitting in the airport most of the time wishing to update this story. The same day I got back, my exchange student came, have to give all my free time to her, I was then not able to update. The day before she left, was the day before school started and school work consumed my life. I began to wane back to fanfiction once again, but then the computer which had this story in file got a virus, (and still does). Then I was grounded from the computer, and only able to sneak on once in a while to work on more stories, read a couple more. Finally after many alterations, days, and much effort, this chapter was finally finished.
I am sorry I have been working on other random stories in the mean time, but this one was still on the front of my mind. So to say again, I am extremely sorry for the long wait, even if there aren't many of you waiting anymore- I noticed a lot of people have taken this story off of their favorites and alerts- and have this charming new chapter for my tiny group of fans! I love you all! I know it is kinda short, but bear with me, this chapter was needed.
Disclaimer: this ain't mine!
On with the read!!!
I didn't open my eyes, hoping, praying this wasn't just a dream. My heart thudded against the cage that surrounded it pushing and pushing harder. This has to be real! And then when I was ready to be sure I forced my eyes to be open.
"Damn it!" I yelled to my self, sitting up in my bed, the quilt sagging down to my waist.
"Why does this always have to happen to me!" I mumbled to my self, swinging my feet to the floor. "Just one good date, that's all I wanted" I grumble stepping into my bathroom to get ready for the new day.
In my reflection, I had smeared make-up all over my face, and my hair was still curly as it was the night before. Next to me was the dress I wore the night before sitting in a clump on the floor.
"It did actually happen!" I punched the air, dancing a small victory dance, laughing at the odd emotions I was feeling.
I was about to run out of my room and drive strait down to Sheresa's, call Alice, and describe the most wonderful night of my life. Then, I remembered how my face looked.
I rushed into the bathroom scrubbed my face, threw my hair up into a messy bun, grabbed the first clothes I saw and ran to my car, stopping only to unlock the door and to leave Alice a message to go to Sheresa's.
I sped as fast as I could in my old truck to get to Sheresa's, and blasted the radio to some random song. I mouthed the random words to the song that I thought fit the happy sporadic music, bagging on the steering wheel and bobbing my head to each beat.
I walked into her house unannounced, like I always did and yelled at her that I was here. She didn't answer, so I knew that the only thing I can do to wake her up was a last resort.
"Get up, get up, get up!" I shouted jumping on top of her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh! Get off of me! Bella, you retard, do you realize that it is only 10 o'clock?! Go back to bed!" she grumbled angrily and tiredly.
"Don't you want to hear about last night?" I questioned innocently, hoping that would get her attention
It didn't.
"Tell me in two more hours, I need beauty sleep," she mumbled, pulling her pillow over her head.
"Did you know Alice is coming over? She just might wake you up herself…" I said, an even more innocent tone taking to my voice.
Sheresa shot up in her bed, squealing, and threw a pair of jeans on. "You play evil," she glared.
"Now since I am awake, will you tell me what went on last night?" she asked conversationally, slightly frustrated.
"Not till Alice ge-"
"Nope, I just play dirty," I replied grabbing a book off of her bookshelf and flipping to the first page.
Suddenly, the floor flew open and a tiny girl ran through, launching strait at me.
"Ahhh, Bella tell me what happened last night right now or I will force it out of you." Alice roared, knocking me onto the bed behind me, springing back in full attention.
"Ummmm," I began. I didn't know where to start, so I began with where he took me.
"He took me to our place and he had a picnic, and flowers were so beautiful and the food was delicious, and we danced-" I was cut off by Alice.
"What?! He didn't tell me that!" she exclaimed
"He already told you?" I asked and she nodded, looking frustrated. "Then why am I telling you this?" I asked not fully understanding.
"Because of reasons like this!" she practically yelled at me. "I need to know these things."
"Okay," I said slowly picking up to where I left off. "Well we danced, and then he kissed me. It was perfect." I sighed, remembering the way his lips felt to mine.
He pressed his lips softly onto mine and smiled on them. Our lips formed around each other, and he pulled me in tighter. My hands slid up into his hair, pulling his head closer to reach his lips better. They moved in rhythm, in sync with one another, as if the music he was humming was orchestrating and changing to the motion of our lips. Hot liquid filling my toes, burning me from the inside, eating away all thoughts, all notions. Eating away everything except feelings, my feelings.
I was shaken from my memory by Alice's small hands.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Alice chirped.
"Yeah, I am here," I said. I brought my fingers to my lips, tracing them, the tingling feeling never left.
Eating everything except feelings.
Alice's phone buzzed in her pocket and she whipped it out so quickly it was a blur. She read the message, silently, her face growing redder and angrier with each word she read.
"I have to go," she said in a stone cold voice.
I nodded stoically as she ran out of the room.
"I wonder what happened…" Sheresa thought aloud.
"I don't know, but it must be pretty bad. I have only known Alice a couple of days, but I didn't think she would take something that badly," I said, "unless it was really bad."
"Hey, have you added him on Facebook yet?" she asked.
"Nope, you know I don't get on much, but I guess I should add him." I mumble to myself as I walked over to her computer.
"I wonder what his pictures look like." Sheresa wondered aloud again.
"I don't know, but it's got to be cute" I muttered to myself, entering the site. I quickly punched in my email and password, and pressed enter.
"You know," Sheresa mumbled, "Facebook is probably one of the slowest websites in the world." She stated that matter-of-factly.
I looked down at the keys and pushed the letters of his name in the search box. As soon as all of the people showed up on the screen, one after another was a picture of Edward with some other girl. Each picture was either them kissing, or standing in a loving embrace, each staring into the others eyes. Each picture with the name of another school.
Each picture saying they were in a relationship.
Each one in a relationship with Edward Cullen.
They were all beautiful girls, with long hair, and thin lithe bodies. All had award winning smiles, and carefully made up faces. I was incomparable to everyone I saw, feeling ugly, and used.
"That bastard!" Sheresa yelled over my shoulder, looking at every picture. "He never even broke up with one of them!" she was angry. I was pissed.
I was played.
I know, I know... "I waited all this time for THIS?" Well as you all know, this story is going to have to go somewhere, its not going to be all fluff and love. Conflict is what makes a story, and this has been in my mind since i started this story. I asked my friend what she thought of the idea, and she supported it. This chapter may suck, and I know, to you I may suck, but please stay and see where this story is going. thank you so much for sticking with me! and for that, you all rock!
Stay Funky!!!
