Part 2- Living Hell
Chapter 10- WHAT?!
BPOV
It had been two weeks since Edward left, I think, and I had not came out of my room Aro gave up on even trying to get me to come out. Jason basically came as he pleased, or whenever I asked him to. The castle was full of people, yet it felt so lonely at times I debated on asking Jason to kill me, but not yet I'd always decide, there still may be the chance that I'll see Edward again, get to leave the castle. Hunting was now merely a memory, animal blood might as well have been taboo.
I never looked in the mirror anymore, I hated my eyes, they looked too unnatural, the startling red was just too much. The last time I had looked, they were loosing their last bit of golden shine, they were a dark color now, probably because I hadn't had any blood since I locked myself up in here.
I sat on the bed, mindlessly picking at a loose thread on the comforter, there was a light knock at the door. I silently stood up, I looked at my dress, it was wrinkled and unsmoothed. I dragged myself over to the door, I opened it slowly, being to sure to keep my feet planted inside the room. It was Jason, I stepped aside before he bothered to ask if he could come in. I had taken Edward'sast bit of advice, and befriended Jason. I went back to my spot on the bed and continued to pick and the loose thread. I heard him sigh and felt his weight add to the end of the bed. "Still picking at that thread?" I nodded slowly.
"It's just trying to hang on..." there was silence hanging in the air for a moment. "Just hanging on, like me." I heard him sigh again. There was more silence, this time I was the one to sigh.
"Bella... you know Aro's not going to cease in his plans, maybe..." his hand came out clamped around mine, pulling the thread out of my hand. "It's for the best, if... if you let it go." I looked down at his hand that still held mine.
"It's...not that easy, Jason, I don't know how to explain it... it's complicated..." unconsciously I flipped his hand over and began tracing the lines on his palm. "Do you know my story? My past?" he shrugged.
"I know you were turned into a vampire about three years ago..." I frown and looked back down at his hand. I took a deep breath and started to explain.
"You're right, I was changed thee years ago after I was accused of murdering my mother and step father, I became involved with the hitman business, I went after a couple of guys and killed them, different hitman, next thing I know, I've got groups of people coming after me. I never stayed in a town for more than a week, two at the most. Then people caught up with me and sent me to Forks to live with my father Charlie, who happened to be a cop... at first I pushed people away, but there was something about Edward, something strange, I found myself wanting to find out everything about him... it sounds kind of weird, I know, then I started hanging out with him a bit, and immediately there was a connection. Then I found out he was a hitman and a vampire too, his 'father' was Carlisle, few small fights later, I've been there at least a month, then they come to the school, there's a whole shoot out... Edward and I went to Phoenix... my mother, father and step father are all dead now..." I looked up and looked Jason dead in the eye. "Edward's the only thing I have left now."
The silence in the room was nerve wracking, I shifted uncomfortably and went back to picking at the thread. The subject was quickly changed. "So what exactly do you do all day in here for two weeks?" I shrugged.
Suddenly my sidekick was going off like crazy, I was up so fast that Jason jumped.

kk. Love u.

The only thing that had accomplished was more tears. I put the sidekick back in the drawer I kept it in and immediately collapsed on the floor beside my bed, my face pressed into the blankets. My arms were wrapped around my middle, almost as if I was trying to keep myself together. I felt Jason carefully pull me off the floor and onto the bed beside him, he pressed my face into his cloak, not much different than Edward would have.
I snapped bolt up-right as soon as I heard the door knob turning. I quickly wiped the tears away with my hand. Aro was standing in the door way, I could see a slight smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. Just when I thought his plans to make my life miserable were over, he came up with something else, he had something else up his sleeve but his mind block was impenetrable. I felt a sudden wave of rage flow over me, I wanted to kill him, tear that know-it-all smirk off his face and light him on fire, tear him apart limb by limb, slowly and painfully.
He grabbed my arm roughly and began to drag me out of the room. I didn't bother to protest, I just went voluntarily. Before I knew it I was in a part of the castle I had never seen before. I frowned and tried to place it, but came up blank, I had never been to this part of the castle before. "Where are you taking me?" he didn't respond, I started putting up a fight. "Damnit, Aro, tell me!" he just gave me a quick jerk and kept pulling me along.
The next thing I knew I was being pushed into a room. Aro slammed the door behind me, obviously standing gaurd outside the door. I glared at the door as if it were Aro and kicked it just for good measure. I heard him laugh, as I slowly turned back around to face the three vampires. This room, unlike my own, contained a couple couches, which these three sat on, a glass topped coffee table which was covered with folders and papers and I don't know what all else. The room was painted a beige color, the furniture was a deep chocolate color.
The three vampires that sat, casually on the couch just stared at me. Two of them girls, one guy. The first girl had red curly hair, ruby red eyes and thin lips, she wasn't skinny, but she wasn't big either. She wore a knitted red sweater and a black pair of skinny jeans, paired off with black flats. The second had long black hair that came down the her waist, she was fragile looking but her eyes were firey red and constantly looking around the room, soaking in every detail. Then there was the guy, he looked like he was gay, and he probably was, his short, dark brown hair had had gel ran through it, creating a spikey, unkept look, he had a white jacket on, jeans and a red bandana tied around his neck. "Darling, you look like a mess, we've all been there, it's ok to be down after a break-up."
"What?" I had no idea what he was talking about.
"But are you sure you should be bouncing back so fast?"
"Wha-" I was being pushed down into a chair.
"Oh, how rude of me! My name is Ryan, and this is Dana and Sherly." He said pointing out the other two. "So, let's start." I was so confused, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. "So let's start with the color, what's your favorite color?" he asked staring at me attentively.
"Uh... black?"
"Oh, silly girl!" he said laughing gently "You can't have a black wedding dress!"
"WHAT?!" they looked startled. "ARO, YOU BASTARD, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" a wedding?! I was up from the chair in a matter of miliseconds, tearing the door off it's hinges. Aro was standing outside the door, staring at me wide eyed. There was suddenly five people there, pushing me back into the room and into the chair, holding me there in a death grip. Aro followed, silent and calm. Ryan picked up right where he had left off.
"So, what color do you want your wedding dress?"
A/N- please tell me what you thought!
