Well, feel free to kill me. I know I haven't updated since October, but firstly, hear me out. In October, I had my sister's birthday, the holidays which I spent with my friends, then a Christening, then my Nieces birthday, then my close friend's mums death, then more birthdays (I'm spending a hell of a lot of money here), then I had my mocks, then I had my Year 11 ball (note: do not wax unless absolutely nessercary), then the Christmas hols, in which I wasn't allowed to spend much time on the computer, then shopping for my friends birthday which is her party today, and then my dads birthday which is today. Now I know you/re going to say there is plenty of time in the middle, but I had writers block, and believe me when I say I felt so guilty for not updating, so here it is! And I made it nice and long for you :)
Disclaimer: I cocked the gun as I pushed my back flat against the wall.
I glanced quickly round the corner, and seeing that the coast was clear, I ran.
"Ooh ooh, ahh ahh"
I looked behind me to see where the noise came from.
It was a monkey.
Suddenly, an alarm started going off and a spotlight pointed at me.
I was caught.
"Damn" I whispered under my breath.
"Give it up already! You'll never get the rights!" A police man said.
I would never give up.
"Well, I need to be getting home. Nice seeing you Jasper, talk to you later!" I said, waving a quick goodbye. I gave a curt nod to Edward and left through the front door, making sure to close the door harder than needed behind me.
Just realising that Jasper had given me a lift here, I huffed in annoyance, but decided to walk home, I needed the fresh air.
I was hurt, but I refused to admit that, if Edward wanted to be used, that's his decision. Although, if I'm honest with myself, I don't want Edward to be used and end up just as hurt and probably with nothing left, she's obviously one of those girls who take the money and leave. However, he probably deserves it, but still, why not make her look like a money stealing whore? There could be some fun in that.
With a new found hope, I started walking quicker towards home, determined to put my plan into action. My first revenge plan, I just hope it works.

Finally reaching home, I took my house key out of my pocket and placed it into the lock, and turned the key. Closing the door behind me, I slipped off my coat and placed it on the hook.
Walking in to the living room, I saw my acoustic guitar sitting on its stand, filling a need for some music inspiration I picked it up and sat on Charlie's recliner, glad to have some time to myself. Strumming a few chords, I started putting notes together in my head. Those random chords soon became a tune, and the words just started flowing through my mouth, without any thought necessary.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Momma take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Feel 'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's door
Momma put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud it's coming down
Feel I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's door
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Oh
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Feeling much better with that off my chest, I placed the guitar back on the stand and turned to head in to the kitchen. I jumped when I saw my mum leaning in the doorway, watching me.
"Hey, you scared me for a minute there." I said, smiling at her.
She smiled at me, and shook her head a little, which confused me. I knitted my brow in confusion and leaned my head to the side, silently questioning her.
"Boy problems?" she asked, looking sympathetic.
Shocked that she could've guessed right and I hadn't even talked to her for a while, I made a move it explain what had happened, but she held up her hand for me to stop, and shook her head again.
"No need to explain anything to me dear, it's written all over your face."
"And what do you think the problem is?" I asked, curious as to how much she could know.
"You like a guy, but he's with another girl. Unrequited love." She sighed sadly at the last part.
Wincing when she put it into words, it hurt a hell of a lot more. I'm confused as to why I feel this way, because it wasn't like we were ever going out in the first place.
"Honey, he'll realise what he's missing out on soon enough, don't you worry." She said, and then disappeared into the kitchen, to finish dinner I presume.
Still feeling inspired, I headed up to my room to let my sadness out in peace, without hopefully any interruptions.
Grabbing my guitar, I headed up the stairs to my bedroom, where most of the music magic happens. I opened my bedroom door and headed towards my desk chair and sat down. Shuffling the paper around looking for my music book, I found it under the last pile. Placing it in front of me, I opened it to a new page and got my lucky writing pen. The first few chords came easily, however the lyrics I couldn't even begin to start. Words were swirling around my head; I was undecided as to which way this song would be going. Finally deciding that it wouldn't relate completely to heartbreak, lyrics suddenly started to form in my mind.
After mind mapping and a few rough copies, I finally had the last of it done. Still knowing it sounded kind of depressing, I had included a happy-ish bridge, to level it out a bit. With it done, I began to play the chords, a quick run through the new song.
(Song-Anything But Ordinary)
A tear fell from my eye as I realised how hard life really is. The full impact hitting me as I realised millions are looking for fame, and how hard it's going to be for me to achieve, before my chance is gone.
Trying not to dwell on all the depressing thoughts running through my mind, I changed in to my comfiest pyjamas and climbed in to bed, too tired to do anything else. I grabbed my MP4 off my night stand and plugged the headphones in to my ears and played the music that would help me sleep quietly. The rush of thoughts that were swirling in my head, calmed down to a quiet throb in the back of my mind. My eyes fluttered closed as I finally let sleep over come me.
Sunday came and went and before I knew it, it was Monday, time for the headache that was school.
I picked out a pink top from my cupboard that had 'Rock & Roll Forever' in black bold writing on the front and jeans with pink, black and white decoration with a pair of white trainers. Too tired to bother straightening my hair, I left it curly and hoped for the best that I had the 'messy look' going on and praying that it looked good.
I grabbed my bag from beside my bed and trudged towards the stairs, picking my jacket from off the banister, I continued down the stairs towards the kitchen. My stomach was growling, begging to be fed.
Taking a Pop Tart from the cupboard, I then headed past the front room, grabbed my keys off the table and headed out the front, noticing that Charlie's cruiser was already gone, and guessing that mum was still in bed, I headed towards my truck that was getting closer and closer to death every day.
Slamming the door as I got in, I headed towards school, still munching on my Pop Tart. The roads were slick with the rain that had been pouring down over night, the gutters taken over by large puddles of water. Feeling like a kid again, I quickly ran my truck through the puddle, watching as it made a wave over and on to the pavement. Laughing softly to myself, I pulled in to the school car park and got a reasonably good space not far from the school.
Knowing I had another 10 minutes to wait before school started, I finished my pop tart, pulled out a pen and paper and plugged my headphones in. I started writing a few random sentences, nothing coming together, and knew that this song would be a working-progress, which would take forever to write, but I knew it would be a good one.
A loud knock on the car window broke me from my thoughts, and I turned my head, bewildered to see who had caused the noise. Looking out of the window, it was none other than Edward, his eyes looking apologetic, a small sheepish smile tugging at his lips. I huffed, grabbed my bag and got out of the truck, slamming my door hard so he knew how pissed off I was with him.
"What do you want, Edward? Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" I sneered and glared at him, wondering what sort of crap excuse he had this time.
"Look, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you, it just slipped my mind. And plus, it wasn't like we were going out anyway, what's it to you?" he asked, obviously getting angry with me, or himself, I couldn't be sure.
"Ha! It slipped your mind?! You really expect me to believe that? How stupid do you think I am? And what's it to me? The fact that you kissed me! You don't just go around kissing people, Edward. Well you might, but not me, and I am not going to stand around and let you play me. Go find some other toy, jackass." I practically growled at him, and stormed off towards the school, annoyed by the fact that he was partly right. It wasn't like we were going out, but it still hurt.
I could hear him shouting after me, but I was in no mood to continue talking to him any longer. I was shaking from the anger that he had caused, my eyes blurry from the tears that wanted to escape and let the world know how truly upset I was about the whole situation, but I refused to show any weakness. I couldn't let him get to me.
A force slamming in to my back nearly had me tumbling to the ground, as a high-pitched squeal reverberated through my eyes, the pounding in my head coming back full force. I groaned from the pain that consumed me all at once. Slowly opening my eyes to see who had caused my pain, I none too surprised to see Alice's sparkling blue eyes looking back at me, a huge grin plastered across her face.
"Bella! I've missed you! I know it's only been like a weekend, but you know, I still missed you. We have to get together sometime; maybe we can go out with the guys as well. Yeah, that would be good! Maybe we can head in to Seattle and get a Starbucks and then go to the cinema, and then do a little bit of shopping, because the sales are coming up soon. So what do you say? Oh wait; you might have band practice, but-" Alice was cut off, as I had enough of her talking.
"Shut up, Alice. Oh my god, you've been drinking coffee haven't you. I swear Jasper told me that the doctor said you weren't allowed caffeine." I thought over that for a moment, trying to recall the conversation, and was pretty sure he said she couldn't have it.
"Well, yeah I'm not allowed it, but the thing is, I was up late last night, designing one of my amazing outfits and then I didn't realise it was 3 in the morning and I had to be up in 3 hours, so I went to sleep anyway, woke up as tired as hell and thought a coffee would help me, I thought I might as well have two otherwise I might fall asleep in class." She finished, out of breath, but a smile still on her face.
"Okay, I'm going to tell Jasper that, and we'll see how he feels. And no, nothing you can do will stop me. Right now, I'm going to class, where I will be left in peace, so that the constant pounding in my head from the very unwelcome welcome you gave me, will go away. And hopefully, hopefully, I'll be in a good mood for lunch, so I can tell you how my weekend went from good, to horribly bad. Talk to you later Alice"
With that said, I continued towards my class, hoping that I won't get interrupted again. Taking my seat right at the back, I pulled my hood up and laid my head on the table, the pounding in my head slowly subsiding to a dull ache.
"Oh God! Not her again!" said a nasally sweet voice from beside me. It sounded oddly familiar. I groaned as I realised who it was.
Tanya, and her possy. Kill. Me. Now.
So, tell me what you think. I know nothing interesting happens in this one, but boy, there's loads of action coming next :)
Now I'm not going to pester you to review, but just know, that it would make my day if you did.
Hope you all enjoyed it! :)
