My Immortal

Rated T Chapter Ten - Rulebreaking

Ring Ring! Ring Ring!

My phone rings loudly while I'm eating at the diner with my dad. I look at him, frown lightly, shrug, and walk away.

'Hello?' I chorus with the voice down the phone.

'Err.' I say after a few moments.

'Oh sorry hello, Bella Swan?' The voice replies in solitude.

'Speaking.' I murmer, my throat had a horse feel to it. I lightly cough and my throat is back to it's usuall friendly tone, which I havn't been hearing a lot of lately.

'This is Susan from the State colledge in Alaska speaking about your application form that was sent just over two months ago. We are confirming that you have a glowing application and would like to honour and respect your acceptance into our Colledge.' Susan replies to my horrible tone of voice.

'Oh...I'm so sorry for the confusion, Susan, but I will have to pass. There has been a large change of plan, so I can't even make it to Alaska...' I say, remembering mine and Edward's plan.

'Oh...boyfriend problems? Family?' Susan pries.

'Excuse me, but this is private. Goodbye!' I state, firmly, while hanging up the phone.

I reach the table and slide in. I told Dad and Mom about the cancellation of the wedding. Obviously, Dad was overjoyed, Mom, however, was not too thrilled. But then I said that there was a large probability of me and Jacob, they were reluctant, but supportive.

'It was the colledge acceptance in Alaska. I turned it down.' I whispered into Dad's ear.

'Well honey, there is the other uni's and colledges you sent out forms to, so you'll be fine. It's probably best with you and Jake and stuff.' Charlie explains while stroking a thread of my hair. I see his eyes flicker to his watch and he climbs up. I know instantly that he has to go to work.

'Bye dad.' I mumble as he walks away. My mom is never around because, A, she is trying to make new, good friends and B, she's looking for a job in a salon.

I seemed to be breaking all the rules. Not accepting an application to an award winning Colledge, breaking up with Edward, and making out with Jacob...
