Chapter 14

Later on Rosalie and I were in bed, snuggled up. I was trying to gather up the courage to ask her what had been on my mind for the whole day.

"Rosie?" I asked, my voice quiet.

"Yeah?" She quietly answered back.

"Who was the girl?" I asked. I felt Rosalie stiffen.

"Well…."

"It was Maria, wasn't it?" I asked Rosalie.

"Yes…" With that one word…

I felt my heart shatter, into tiny little pieces.

2 MONTHS LATER (Saturday, March 24th)

Alice and Edward broke up. Everyone knew they would. After the shiny newness of their relationship faded, all that was left was the arguing. They couldn't be in the same room for more than 10 minutes if they weren't making out, or feeling each other up. But if not… well let's just say, even I had to leave the room.

Rosalie and Emmett broke up, too. For 24 minutes. Then Edward and I got them in the same room, and they broke down. Had sex right after. Rosalie was a screamer. We had to leave the room right away.

Edward and I got closer. He was now officially one of my three best friends here. People thought that Alice and Edward broke up because of me, but really, they didn't have much in common. Plus, Alice loved Maria and Edward despised her almost as much as I do.

Maria and Alice were as inseparable as Rosalie and I. I think that since Rose replaced her with me, Alice replaced Rose with Maria. Either way, the Terror Twins were insufferable. I couldn't be in the same room with both of them for long periods of time. If I was, you could pretty much guarantee that one of them would leave with a bruise, courtesy of moi.

And finally, Jasper. Oh, Jasper. He was officially going out with Maria. The first time I heard that they went official, I gave Emmett a black eye. He was the one who told me. Of course, I apologized profusely afterwards, and he forgave me, but I still felt guilty about it for a while. Then I noticed, Jasper wasn't happy. You could tell he was miserable dating Maria, but she turned a blind eye on that little fact and was happy.

I, (once again), stopped speaking with Jasper. Except now, it was worse. We would never be in the same room together. Never. And when the group did stuff all together, one of us would always stay behind. We took turns. If last week he went, I would go. And vice versa. Plus, and extra bonus: When Jasper didn't go, Maria didn't go, and when Maria didn't go, Alice didn't go either. Whoo!

Of course, this made everything really tense for Edward, Rose, and Em, but we managed. I had their undying support as well, so that was good. But, We couldn't forget the fact that Jasper was Rose's brother, and even though she was furious with him, she still defended him when I badmouthed him.

Valentine's day was spent with Edward and I watching comedies. Rose and Em went off to do their thing, and so did Jasper, Maria, and Alice. That must've been awkward for Jasper. He had to spend the day with his girlfriend and her best friend. Edward and I laughed about that for a good 10 or so minutes.

It was pretty obvious that Jasper was jealous of Edward. Also, there was the fact that Edward stopped speaking to Jasper for not only going out with Maria, but for in the process hurting me. I liked to think of Jasper, Maria, and Alice as the dark side. Yeah.

The students of Washington Academy didn't know what to make of the situation. They didn't know what was going on, only the fact that one day, Jasper and I were happy, and the next he's going out with Maria. Nobody liked Maria, so they were all on my side. Save for the few who didn't get involved (very few), and the one's who didn't like me either.

But hey, life went on, right?

***************

"Bella!" Rose shouted at me. I looked up from my pillow and turned over, to see her standing before me with her hands on her hips.

"Yes, mommy dearest?" I asked, sarcasm lacing my tone. Lately, I've been more sarcastic and cynical than usual.

Rose rolled her eyes at my tone and choice of words and pointed to the pile of dirty laundry. I had also gotten lazier, if that was possible.

"It's March. All of your spring clothes are dirty, and you haven't even thought of going downstairs to the laundry room to wash them! You dirty, little girl!" Rose shouted. I winced at her loudness. Damn she's got some lungs on her. I idly thought of ripping out her voice box, and hiding it. But then, I decided if I was ripping out anybody's voice box, it would be Maria's.

"And now you're not even listening to me!" Rose screeched. I sighed and got up from the bed- so much for my laze around Saturday.

"Okay, Okay, I'm going now, stop your screeching!" I sighed. Rose laughed and helped me pick up my dirty laundry.

****************

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNO-

A very angry looking Edward opened the door.

'Who the fuck I- Oh. I should've known that was you. Whaddya want?" Edward asked, wuite rudely if you ask me.

"Rose is making me do my laundry. Wanna come with?" I asked brightly.

"Oh, yeah, hold up, lemme get my hamper," Edward then ran off into his room. I waited for about 10 seconds before Edward ran out and closed the door behind him.

"Wow, you got a lotta clothes," Edward observed.

"Eh. I got lazy." I murmured. Edward turned to look at me.

"People say you get lazy after you get your heart broken.." Edward trailed off. My back tensed.

"Huh. Good thing I didn't get my heart broken, otherwise I would be really lazy!" I exclaimed. My voice sounded edgy.

"Bells, do you wanna talk about it?'' Edward asked softly. My eyes stared straightforward.

"No."

"Bells-"

"I don't want to talk about it." And that ended the conversation.

***************

You would think that on a Saturday the laundry room would be packed, but it was empty. The students took the Saturdays to hang out in town, of just with their friends. There were only two peop- oh. It was Jasper. With Maria. Oh goody. Edward saw them at the same time that I did, and tried to edge away discreetly with me following, but then the stupid idiot had to go and slip on some detergent, and fell, making a great crash, his clothes flying all over the place. And I couldn't help it. Even with Maria and Jasper both staring at us, I burst out into loud laughter. Edward's expression was just so comical. Edward started to laugh too.

"That… could only… happen… to you!" I gasped in between giggles. Still giggling, I held my hand out, for him to take. Edward took it and yanked. Surprised, I fell forward, on top of Edward's scattered clothes. I started to laugh even harder, Edward joining in again.

"That's what you get! For laughing at poor me…" Edward trailed off, laughing. I stood up from the floor, and grumbled.

"If I had fallen you would laugh too, oh wait, you did! And you were the one who pulled me down!" I pointed at Edward.

"Yeah, yeah. Instead of bitching, why don't you come help me pick up my clothes? Edward asked. I walked past him, slapping him upside his head, ignoring the loud "Ow!" that proceeded and began picking up the clothes. I had almost forgotten about Jasper and Maria, but then she had to go along and ruin it, didn't she?

"Gosh, you're both so childish!" Maria sniffed disdainfully, and turned back to the oh so interesting machines. My eyes narrowed and Edward shifted closer to me.

"This coming from the person who cried when she lost her scarf," I muttered sarcastically.

"It was a burberry! Expensive!" Maria started wailing. I tried to swallow the hurt that flashed through me when Jasper put his hand on her shoulder. He Didn't look at me, and that hurt more. Edward must've sensed this, and he moved closer to me.

"Let's put the clothes in the wash fast, and then we can go get ice cream from your room, okay?" He whispered. I nodded and squashed down the hurt, focusing on my anger.

I had sonic speed, as I separated the whites from the colors and put them in different machines. Edward, having less clothes than I, was finished before I was. Maria was whispering in Jasper's ear, his eyes were closed. I had to admit, he was looking real good these days, but then so was I, thanks to Rosalie. Every morning, she helped cover the bags under my eyes (from my sleepless nights) and she gave me pep talks, that got me through the day.

"Let's go," I grabbed Edward's hand, and practically dragged him out of the room. I could feel the eyes on my back. They made my neck burn, but gave me that happy feeling.

*************

"Mmm…. This ice cream… Mmm…" I trailed off, taking another bite out of my extra chunky cookies N' cream . The cold immediately hit my tongue and I shivered in delight.

"Well damn. I never thought it would be hot to watch girl eat ice cream, but hey, I was wrong. And I am glad to be wrong," Edward stated. I laughed and swatted his arm.

**************

We were still in the cafeteria, laughing and joking around.

"Hey guys!" Rose and Em simultaneously said. We all laughed.

"Whatcha been up to?" I asked them. They exchanged a glance. Emmett's smile turned into a devious smirk.

"Oh, you know. This and that." Emmett said, vaguely. I rolled my eyes.

"They were so fucking," I stage whispered. Everyone started laughing, and Rose's pink cheeks agreed with my statement. Em reached around her and pinched my cheeks.

"I love you man!" He yelled. I winced, and blew a kiss at him.

I was looking around the cafeteria when I saw a middle aged man in a crisp suit in the doorway. He wasn't one of the teachers. Maybe he was new. Thing was, he looked way too… expensive to be a teacher here. The man looked around the room, his eyes landing on our table. And he started walking towards us. I didn't pay too much attention. For all I knew, he could be heading to the table behind us. But the man stopped right behind Rosalie, and he tapped her shoulder.

Rosalie turned around and her eyes widened.

"Dad?"

Dad?!

Okay guys, here's the deal. My laptop got taken away from me ( you can thank my parents), and I've been meaning to get this chapter out for a while. I wrote this on my sister's computer, but I don't know when I'll be back at her apartment again, so I don't know when the next chapter will be out. Hopefully, it'll be in the middle of this week. HOPEFULLY. I'm not making any promises, so don't get your hopes up, okay?

Anyway, next chapter you can finally meet the dad of Rose and Jas. Hope you like the friendship between Edward and Bella.

Also, I hope you don't mind me skipping some months but we gotta get around the months of the wedding, right?

As always, leave a review telling me what you think, please. Also, I have this idea for a new story, but I don't know If I wanna post it. I'll of course leave it at one chapter until I finish this story, but I don't wanna forget the idea. Should I post it up? (In my opinion I think it's a really good idea). So let me know.

REVIEW!

-Katherine.

P.S: Happy early valentine's day!
