"I don't even know why she's mad at me. Well, why she was." I whispered. I had really screwed things up.
"You really screwed things up." Emmett said before going downstairs.
This is a fight between the two halves of Bella. I don't know how to name them, but the italics one is the bitchy, strong, sneaky one. When I wrote it, it reminded me of the snake from The Jungle Book.
Chapter 14: Isabella Swan the remake
BPOV
I had to get out of here. Now.
I flipped open my phone. I punched in the numbers, my hand trembling.
"Hello?"
"Hi James? This is Bella. Can we move the flight up to California from Tuesday to tomorrow?"
Please please say yes. I even crossed my fingers.
"Oh yea. Ya know, that'd be even better. Hmm… I'll send the limo to pick you up at…3 this morning. Then the 2 hour plane ride –in your private jet- then you'd be there by six. Then you can go get makeup and get ready for your first appearance by… 9. Perfect! Kisses Bella!" then he hung up.
Wow that was weird. I smiled to myself. I was finally getting out of this hellhole.
I got out my suitcase and began throwing everything in it. When I was searching at the bottom of my closet, I stopped. A framed photo. Inside, Edward was leaning down and kissing me. I felt the tears come hot and fast.
When we were happy. So naïve. So excited. So in love.
I curled up in a ball at the bottom of my closet. I missed Edward. He obviously didn't like me anymore, least of all love me.
Make him want you when you're famous Bella. Be the girl he can't have.
Shut up. I tried and his amazing skills, dashing good looks, and…. And every move had me freaking entranced!
You know, that was when you were unsure of whether or not he still loved you. He did, see? So, now that he doesn't, he'll have to fall in love with all over again.
But by doing that, I'm going to fall in love with him!
So? Who said you can't have him too?
But remember what he said to me? I was nobody! I'm nobody!
Then crush him.
But I love him! God I love him!
What's your point? Make him want you. Make him need you. Then take him. But first you've got to tease him. Make him know he can't give you any crap. Make him know you've got options. Make him jealous.
What? I can't do that! I'll end up falling in his arms again!
That's the whole point. Fall in his arms. But first make him want you. Then you'll have open arms to fall into. Just make sure he knows you're an almost unattainable treasure whose got so many options. So many options…
I jolted away. Crap! What time was it?
12: 47. Crap.
"Charlie! Dad!" I yelled down the hall. I heard a snore. I stood up suddenly. A crash came and I felt the glass shatter on my feet. I jumped and ran onto my bed. What fell?
Then I saw. The picture of me and Edward. Now, it had tiny shards of glass all over it. I realized that that was what my heart felt like. Ripped into tiny shards. But it really did show what had became of Edward's and my relationship. Dropped on the floor and broken.
"What was that? Bella? Bella! Are you okay?" Charlie came rushing in, a baseball bat in hand. I guess he thought it was an intruder.
"Nothing dad. I just dropped something."
Then he saw the suitcase on my bed. His eyes bulged out.
"Packing already?" he sounded so sad. I felt immensely guilty. It almost made me back out of my decision. Almost.
"Oh, well you see, I called James and he was like 'you should come tomorrow' and something about all these big appearances and stuff. I was going to tell you but I kind of fell asleep." I said sheepishly.
"Anxious to leave?" Charlie whispered.
I told the truth. I nodded my head then whispered, "Anxious to escape."
"What did I do? I'm so sorry about… about the other we-"
"It's not you Dad. It's Edward."
Charlie got it. He hugged me, kissing the top of my head. I could see his eyes glistening.
"What time you leaving?"
"Um…in 2 hours. At 3."
Charlie just nodded and left for the kitchen. I finished packing, eager to leave my problems behind, upset to leave my father behind.
When I heard a car horn honk outside, I sat up. I turned around and kissed Charlie on the cheek.
"I'm so sorry Dad. I have to. I love you."
"Don't worry Bells. Have fun." Charlie said.
I grimaced, what was he going to eat? This random thought popped into my head just as I was leaving.
"When I come back Charlie, I'll make sure to hire you your own private chef."
He smiled. It didn't make his eyes crinkle. (A/N: reference from book)
I kissed his cheek again before rushing down the stairs. My suitcase was already at the door. Dragging it out, I saw a 10 foot white limo waiting outside. The driver got out and took my bag.
When I got inside, James was there. He smiled and gave me a hug. Awkward. I looked around and my eyes rested on some girl with bright pink hair. I raised my eyebrows. Alice would have a fit.
I cringed. Alice. I would have to send her a letter in the mail. I felt awful for doing this to her- she was always such a good friend and didn't deserve this.
"Hi. Bella right? I'm Sarah Patete. I work with Mr. Smit." She held out her hand. I shook it. I noticed she had fake nails. She noticed I didn't.
Taking out a pad, she began writing down some things I didn't see. Feeling my eyes on her, she looked up.
"Oh and I'll be your personal designer. I'll pick your outfits, your 'new looks' and the such. First on the list are nails, hair, makeup, clothes."
"Isn't that everything?"
"No." was her simple reply. What more was there?! Seeing my confused and shocked expression, she explained.
"Attitude, walking strut, accent, color theme, movie theme, hobbies then the type of things you-"
I cut her off.
"It's okay. I'd rather not know them all." I said. Apparently they were going to create a new person under the name Isabella Swan. At least this new Isabella Swan wasn't going to be in love with Edward. Hopefully.
Okay i know these chapters are kinda slow but bear with me. chapter 17 is a major bitch fight between bella and edward! its actually kinda funny how stupid edward is :)

song lyrics- ive decided its fun. so i'm going 2 give lyrics and see who can guess what song it is:
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
and heres a preview from chapters 15 and 17:
15: I threw the flowers onto the table. I had just picked them up from the store for Bella, my sweet, sweet angel. She probably never wanted to look at me again. I had just lost the most important thing in my life. All I wanted to do was sulk.
17: "Like what you see?" I smirked.
"You mean what I don't see?" she retorted.
PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW :)
AND IF U GET THE LYRICS RIGHT U GET ANOTHER PREVIEW :)
