I know this is short, but I do write short chapters. And this should be better than usual because the seriously totally awesome Annabella1901lover looked over this.

I lay there, shocked.
I couldn't believe Edward cheating on me. He said he wanted me forever. Only me and nothing else. He said that he preferred brunettes, that Tanya wasn't as beautiful as me in his mind.
Now, I could see why Edward was so reluctant to change me – he didn't really want me around forever. I was just a plaything. Nothing more. I wasn't beautiful or graceful, not like that Tanya. He only kept me around for something to do – something like a hobby.
I struggled to keep myself together. The hole in my lungs was opening up again.

I had to get to Bella as quickly as possible. Tanya had gone through with her plan.
If I didn't get to Bella quick enough, she'll never trust us again. There's no saying what she'll do. If someone told me Jasper was cheating on me... But I knew that wouldn't happen. I should put all my concentration on helping Bella.
I pushed the accelerator with all my might.

As I lay there trying to not let myself fall apart, I thought about the déjà vu feeling about this.
Although the setting was different, I felt the misery and the inferiority again. Misery that Edward didn't actually want me, inferiority is that I could never get him back. Somehow, I felt like I had always known that Edward would've never stayed with me forever. I was just a pitiful human.
I let my misery wash over me. Tears trickled down my face. Suddenly Alice was there. I gasped. Then I realised what she was here for. To convince me that Edward wasn't cheating on me.
I grabbed my pillow and threw it at her. She easily swatted it away. I scowled.
Alice started walking towards me. I scream at her, and threw everything I could lay my hands on at her. It felt like she had betrayed me too.
She dodged all the objects as well. Then she pounced on me, pinning my arms to my sides, constricting my movement.
I screamed at her in frustration. She looked at me with pleading eyes. I glared back at her.
"Bella -," she began in a soothing tone.
I interrupted her, "Edward's cheating on me! I know!"
I tried to act tough but I could feel the façade slipping away.
"No, he's not, Bella. Tanya was just -," Alice tried explaining again.
"I know you're lying," I interrupted her again, my voice cold.
Suddenly my tough exterior slipped away. I started to sob uncontrollably. Alice slowly released her grip then she wrapped her arms around me, this time in comfort, not in restraint.
I cried, my tears ruining her designer shirt.
She whispered in my ear, "Bella, Edward didn't, and will never, cheat on you. All of what Tanya said was a lie, to get you to lose your faith in Edward."
"B-but why would she do that?" I asked, my misery muddling my brain up.
"Bella, remember, she would do anything to get Edward. She has always gotten what she wanted in life. She thought maybe by lying to you, she could make you give up on Edward."
Relief washed over me – Edward wasn't cheating on me. But there was a nagging thought on the back of my mind.
"Why didn't Edward come explain this himself?"
"Two reasons: firstly – would you have listened to Edward if I didn't come here first?" I shook my head. "Secondly, Edward doesn't even know about this."
I looked at Alice suspiciously. She looked perfectly honest about what she was saying. But I know she was a great actress. I pursed my lips – deliberating.
I didn't know whether to believe Alice or not.
I decided to just believe her for now. I've got other things to attend to - like getting back at Tanya.
A/N hehe. Hope you liked that.
