A/N: If the last 2 chapters confused you a little: Chapter 8 just went back and showed the first half of the day that Bella said passed by in a blur in Chapter 6. And Chapter 7 was the evening of the first day of school. (when Bella ditched) Read on!
Learning the Truth:
BPOV:
Ohmygosh. I can't believe I actually agreed to going to Seattle with Alice and Brianna. They're too hyper!!! Luckily, I have Selena with me, who is more on my wavelength. Alice and Brianna were happily chattering away in the car and it got so annoying I could barely drive without crushing the steering wheel.
I don't even need new clothes! I have enough designer stuff from Brianna, what more do I get from Alice? This is going to be like Barbie Bella all over again!
We got to a large department store and began sifting through its overpriced clothing items. Alice and Brianna had me try on countless outfits, and pick out which were the top 50. Yes, that's right. TOP FIFTY! I have to endure this torture. But I love the fact that Alice is back, and is still my best friend. Alice seems almost the same, but around me she's got a tiny bit of sadness and guilt in her eyes. I wonder why. Now I wish I could read minds!
"Alice, please tell me. What's wrong? Why are you so sad around me?" I couldn't take it anymore! It was killing me. She had to tell me what was on her mind.
"Well...nothing Bella. Nothing is wrong." She lied outrightly.
"No, I can see that there's something wrong. Tell me, please!" I would go out of my mind if she didn't tell me this instant!!
"Fine Bella. There IS something wrong, and you won't like it at all." She pouted and turned away.
"You guys aren't leaving again are you?" I whispered in horror.
"No, that's not it, but after I tell you you'll definitely want me to leave." She looked like she was on the verge of breaking into sobs.
"JUST TELL ME ALICE!"
"Okay fine. I guess I don't have the right to deny you anything anymore. Bella, Edward and I...we're kinda... having an affair." She looked up at my face expectantly, like she was waiting for the screaming to begin.
"You...and Edward..." It all made sense now! How he was so content with just staying friends! He loved Alice now, not me. How could this happen? My whole world was spinning with tragedy again, and Edward had caused it. For the second time. What did I do to deserve this?
"Bella. Bella I'm so sorry." Alice moved to put her tiny arms around my waist.
"No. It's okay. It's your choice, he wasn't mine anymore. I-I gotta go. Tell Selena and Brianna I'm not...okay." With that, I sped off at vampire speed.
A/N: Ohhhhhh! Where's she going? What's she doing? What's gonna happen? Cliffy!!! I'll try to update before I leave to Science Fair Competitions. (nerdy, I know) If I can't, don't kill me!!!
