A/N Im so sorry this chapter took so long. It's not very good, sort of just a filler, but I promise the next one will be out much faster.
Thank you all who reviewed you guys are amazing!
I went and seen New Moon and I did love it, I think they did an excellent job with it. Way better than Twilight in my personal opinion.
So here it is Finally! the next chapter.
Chapter 14- Bachelorette Party
Bella Swan.
Wednesday.
Ring. Ring.
The door bell rang. I rolled over to see it was 6 in the morning.
Who in the world would be ringing my doorbell this early.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
Whoever it is, is impatient. I groaned and got out of bed throwing on my robe. I stomped angrily to the door and threw it open to see my mom standing there.
"Bella!" She squealed throwing her arms around me.
"Mom!" I said back happily, hugging her tightly. I have really missed my mom.
"What in the world are you doing here?" I asked.
She smiled. "I'm here for Abigail's wedding dear."
I nodded. I forgot all about the fact that she would be here.
I looked behind her. "Where's Phil and-" I got cut off when I felt something hugging my knees.
I looked down and smiled. "Michael." I said picking up my little brother.
"Hi Bella." His little voice said. I smiled at the sound of his voice, I haven't seen him in awhile.
"He is so cute." I said to my mom. She smiled at us adoringly.
"How's my little man been?" I asked him.
He smiled a few teeth missing.
"Good." I laughed and set him down.
"Bells." Phil said coming up the walk with a bunch of luggage. I smiled.
"Hey Phil. How have you been?" I said giving him a hug.
He smiled and nodded. "Good. I hope you don't mind us intruding, I told your mom to call. . " He said rolling his eyes.
I smiled and shook my head. "Of course you guys can stay we have a guest room." I said leading them inside.
"Oh thanks baby." My mother said throwing her arms around me again.
"I've missed you my baby girl." She said squeezing me tighter.
I laughed. "I've missed you too mom."
"Bell who was at the-" Alice stopped mid sentence. "Renee! Hi!" She said rushing over to hug my mom, who was smiling widely.
"Mikey!" She said picking him up. "Hi handsome."
"Hi Alice." He said shyly.
She laughed. "He is so cute. How old is he now?"She asked.
"6." Phil answered Alice looked up to finally noticing him.
"Hey." She said walking to give him a hug.
"So I'm going to get ready but it's good to have you here." Alice said excusing herself.
"Alright thanks Honey." Renee called after her.
"So." Phil said gesturing to the bags.
"Oh right." I said quickly snapping back. " Here let me show you." I said walking towards the guest room and Phil followed.
"It's the last door on the left." I said pointing.
He smiled and thanked me, taking Michael with him. I walked back into the living room to talk to my mother.
She was sitting on the arm chair looking around her.
I sat down on the couch. getting her attention.
"Your house is beautiful dear." She said sweetly.
"Thanks. It won't be mine for much longer. " I reminded her.
She looked back at me and rolled her eyes. "Yeah. We'll talk about that later." She said in her, not now. tone.
I laughed and nodded. "I wouldn't expect any less from you mother."
She smirked.
"So how are you doing honey?" She asked more seriously, and I know then exactly what she was talking about.
I've kept her updated the entire time about the whole situation. I actually think she was more hurt by the Edward and Abbie thing than I was.
Mostly because her and her siter Vivian were very close, which is how me and Abbie became close, so my mom was hurt that Abbie. who she loves very much, would do this to me. I could tell it was going to be difficult for her to be here, because on one hand she was happy for her niece but on the other, her niece broke her daughters heart.
I took a deep breath and shrugged. "The best I can."
She smiled sympathetically. "Well I think you are doing great hun. You're a much stronger person that I am." She said laughing slightly.
I smiled. "Thanks ma."
"So I guess Viv is coming down tomorrow." She said conversationally.
"Oh yeah." I said totally forgetting all the family should be arriving soon. Gosh this is embarrassing.
"Yeah and I guess cousin Justin is coming down." She said.
"Oh really! I miss him, I haven't seen him forever." I loved Justin, he is one of my favorites cousins. He was always like my big brother.
She smiled and nodded. "So are you going to be okay with all of this?" She asked.
I nodded. "Of course mom. I'm fine." I said quickly.
She gave me a look like she didn't believe me. My mother could always see right through me, she said I was like a open book. "Bella." She warned.
I sighed and walked over to sit on the arm of the chair she was sitting on. "I'm fine mom. I promise." I said leaning over and kissing her head.
She smiled and patted my hand. "Alright dear."
"Well I'm gonna go get ready. We are having brunch at Abbie's and Edward's. You and Phil should come. Oh and Mike of course." I added, forgetting about the little addition to our family.
She smiled. "Okay."
I smiled and excused myself, heading to get ready for a very long day.
--
Phil, Michael, and my mom followed Alice, and I in there rented car.
"So are you glad your moms here?" Alice asked conversationally.
I nodded and smiled. "Of course. I think she is almost just as confused as what to feel by the whole situation as I am." I said laughing bitterly.
"I'm sure." Alice said in understanding. "She loved Edward and probably assumed, as we all did, that you two would end up together. But then on the other hand she loves her niece and wants to be happy for her." I nodded. Alice, got it.
"Yeah I'm actually surprised that she came." I mused.
"She came for you Bell." Alice said as it was obvious.
I looked at her confused. "What?"
She laughed. "Bella she came to make sure your okay, that you have support." I thought about it, she had a point.
"We are here." She announced which didn't give me much time to think about it.
We climbed out of the car and met my family at the door.
We knocked and waited for an answer.
Edward opened the door with his perfect crooked grin in place. "Hey girls. Renee!" He said shocked, practically pushing me and ALice out of the way to hug my mom.
Him and my mom where always close. Every summer for a week me and Edward would go and stay with my mother. She was always adored him and he charmed her to no end. He always teased she loved him more than me. Which I wouldn't be totally surprised if that was true.
"How are you handsome?" She asked him.
He smiled. "I'm great. I got your daughter back." He said turning around to wink at me. I rolled my eyes and he turned back to my mother.
She laughed. "Well I'm glad."
"Phil. How you doing?" He said shaking his hand politely.
"Great." Phil answered back.
"Hey buddy. You're so big dude." Edward said to Mike, ruffling his hair.
Mikey just waved shyly.
"Do you remember me?" Edward asked him. Last time he seen Michael was probably when he was about 2.
Mike shook his head. Edward laughed.
"I'm Edward. I'm Bella's friend." He introduced himself.
"Hi," Mike said shyly.
Edward smiled widely. "Wanna play some video games later buddy?" HE asked him.
Mike of course nodded wildly.
Edward laughed. "Alright." He said giving him a high five.
"Edward what's taking you so long- Auntie Na!" Abbie stopped mid sentence and threw her arms around my mother.
"Abigail darling. How are you?" My mom asked hugging her tightly.
"I'm great. Hey Uncle Phil, Mikey." She greeted pinching Mike's cheek which he didn't appreciate to much.
"Come in." She said wrapping her arm around my mother's waist and leading us all in.
Edward shut the door and put his arm around my shoulder as we walked to the dining room.
"You didn't tell me you mom was coming." He almost scolded.
"I didn't know." I said raising my eyebrows.
He laughed. "That's Renee for ya."
I laughed along with him.
"I bet you're glad she's here." He said looking at me.
I looked back up at him and smiled. "Yeah. I am."
He smiled and we entered the room, to find everyone here.
"Bells." Rose called me over. I smiled at Edward in departure and touched his shoulder lightly as I walked towards Rose.
I could see my mom eyeing Edward and I. She will be watching us like a hawk. She always does.
"Hey Rosie." I said giving her a hug.
"We still going to the spa today?" She asked.
I nodded. "Yeah I figured my mom could come with."
She nodded. "Okay sounds good." She smiled and I walked over to Jas.
"Oh Jasper." My mom said suddenly realizing he was there. She rushed over and hugged him tightly.
He laughed and hugged her back. "Renee how are you?"
"Oh I'm good dear. I've missed you kids." She said happily.
He smiled. "We've missed you too."
"How's your mom?" She asked immediately.
"She's doing great. I'll tell her you're down." He offered.
"Oh that would be great. Maybe we'll have lunch." She said excitedly.
My mom and Jas's mom were close. My mom lived here until I was about 10 so her and Diane where friends which was how me and Jasper met at such a young age.
He smiled and nodded and she went off to fuss over Haley. She never did have a long attention span.
"Well your moms here." He said laughing at her erupt exit.
I nodded. "Yep she is." I hooked my arm in his and leaned my head on his shoulder.
"I love your mom. She's so cute." He said looking at her flutter around.
I laughed. "Yeah she's a unique one. Just wait until Vivian comes tomorrow."
He laughed loudly. He grew up with me so he knows most of my family. "Yes I remember. It should get interesting."
"So how are you?" He asked, like he did most days.
I smiled, what I hope was a convincing smile, although I doubt it worked. "I'm fine."
He nodded knowing it wasn't true but bought it anyway.
That was such an automatic response these days, almost like a reflex.
--
We arrived at the spa, my mother had invited Abbie to come with us, much to Alice's dismay, but she declined because she had to much to do. I swear that girl never stops. And Phil and Mike stood with the guys at Edwards.
"So where is the wedding?" She asked conversationally. She knew I pretty much planned the entire thing, me and my mom talked on a regular basis, so she knew all my life drama.
"The church down on 4th." Rose answered as we all sat in a row with our feet and hands being pampered.
She nodded. "It's going to be beautiful." I said truthfully.
She smiled but I could tell she was over the small talk. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Alright mom. Lay it on me."
She smirked. "Alright then. How are you Bells? I know this has to be killing you." She said straight to the point. My mom was never one for beating around the bush.
I sighed. "I'm better. I've gotten used to the idea that they will be getting married in a few days."
She looked at me with raised eyebrows, not satisfied with my answer. She looked towards Alice and Rose.
"She's pretends to be alright but why do you think she's leaving. She can't live around them seeing them married. She is still totally in love with him but is too good of a person to fight for him." Alice said quickly.
I huffed. These girls.
"I know and I mean all she has to do is tell Edward and he would go running to her." Rose said exaggerating.
"No sir. I did tell him." I argued childishly.
"Then took it back." Alice argued back.
"They are totally meant to be together but they are both to good of people to actually be together." Rose said to my mom.
My mom took in all this information satisfied with the amount she got.
"Have you told Abigail how you feel?" My mom asked turning towards me.
I sighed and shook my head. "No. Me and Abbie aren't exactly on the best terms right now." I said sheepishly.
My mom looked at me questioningly.
"She doesn't like my relationship with Edward." I explained simply, because that really is the only thing wrong with us.
"Well I can understand that. I mean it's totally obvious you too are still in love." My mother said as if it was just common knowledge.
"Right." Alice agreed and Rose nodded.
I rolled my eyes. "We aren't and it's not."
"But I mean she should understand you and Edward where each other's first loves, that doesn't go away easily. And you didn't break up because you stopped loving each other you broke up because you were mad at each other. There is a difference." My mother said matter of factly.
"That's why she is so threatened." Rose said agreeing. "Once you came she had to have known you both would fall back in love."
I huffed again. "He is not in love with me. He is getting married in like 3 days." I argued.
They all completely ignored me. It was great.
"Yeah but she should have let him explore that once Bella came back before marrying him. It would have been better for everyone." My mom said with a nod.
"Yeah but she loves him and don't want to lose him, and she knew it was a pretty good chance she would if she let him go." Alice said and they nodded along.
I rolled my eyes. I really don't even have to be here, there just ignoring me anyway.
I cleared my throat. "Um could I talk here." They all looked towards me.
"I think that they should be married because me and Edward broke up 5 years ago, and he don't love me he loves her and she him. And I will move back to LA and start my life." I said quickly.
Rose and Alice rolled their eyes.
"Oh that reminds me." My mom said looking at me sternly.
"Why in the world are you going back to LA Bella?" She asked in an exasperated tone.
"Mom I told you I got a great job offer."
She rolled her eyes. "Bella you can get a job anywhere."
"Well-" I cut Alice off.
"Alice don't." I warned.
My mom turned to Alice curiously. "No, no. Continue dear." I groaned.
"Abbie is sort of making her." Alice said.
"What?" Rose asked, not knowing this bit of information.
I groaned again.
"Abbie is making you?" My mom asked in confusion and shock.
I closed my eyes and nodded. "Kind of." I said vaguley.
"Bella." My mom warned.
I sighed. "Alright she sort of told me after the wedding I wasn't allowed to be around Edward anymore. So I asked what about everyone else, we were bound to hang out because of all our friends. So she said she would keep him away from them too." I took a deep breath and continued.
"But I couldn't allow that so I decided to just leave so Edward can live his life here with his friends." I finished.
They stood silent, taking in this new information.
"That's why you're leaving." Rose whispered, realization dawning on her.
"Honey that's, that's, I don't know." My mom said shaking her head.
"She couldn't keep him away from us." Alice said firmly.
"She could try I just thought it would be easier if I was out of the picture." I explained.
"I could actually kill her." Rose said angrily.
"I think If you want to salvage any type of relationship with your cousin, its best to leave." My mom said distractedly. She understood, she knew it was the best way. The only way.
"I don't know if salvaging a relationship with Abbie is my concern, but keeping Edward, Edward. Than yeah it's the best way." I said.
She nodded and Rose still looked pissed beyond belief.
"Does Edward know?" Rose asked suddenly.
I shook my head.
"Didn't think so." Rose said confidently.
I sighed, not wanting to discuss any of this anymore.
"Its fine guys. I'm leaving Saturday, all the arrangements are made, there is nothing less to discuss. I'm fine." I said for the tenth time today.
They all looked at me skeptically but agreed, they knew I was on my last thread, I could break any moment.
--
We decided to just stay and have a sleepover at Alice and my house and have drinks and such here. We had no idea what the guys were doing but I personally didn't want to know.
"Martinis are done!" Alice sang walking in, with just an over sized T-Shirt on and booty shorts.
"Ohh what kind?" I asked excitedly as Alice came further into the room.
"Apple." She announced happily. Alice always made the drinks. I swear she if the best bartender.
We sent my mom and Phil and Mike to stay at Rose's tonight since we would be here and the guys at Edwards,
Rose, Abbie and I were sitting on the floor playing cards in our pajamas, Alice came and sat in between Rose and Abbie handing us each a martini glass.
"I don't know if I should drink." Alice said warily staring at the green liquid in the glass.
We all looked at her like she was crazy. "It's your bachelorette party." Alice pointed out the obvious.
"I know but I don't really. . . drink. . " She trailed of embarrassed.
"Have you ever been drunk?" Rose asked bluntly. We all stared straight at her waiting for an answer.
"Not drunk. . " She said turning red under our disbelieving gaze.
We had all been drunk many times, it was an experience we all have been through more than once.
"Oh my god." Alice said in shock.
"Alright that's it you're drinking tonight. And we are all going to get good and drunk." I said handing her the glass she had set down.
"It is an experience that you need to have." I told her sternly. Rose and Alice nodded along with me holding up our glasses.
"And what better occasion." Rose pointed out.
Abbie was silent for a moment before sighing and lifting her glass to meet ours. We all cheered.
"To Abbie, marrying one of our very best friends. We wish you the best." I toasted, although it sounded fake I truly did wish them nothing but happiness.
"To Abbie." Alice and Rose cheered and we clanked our glasses together taking a large sip of out martinis.
"Alright if we're getting drunk. . ." Alice said standing up.
"Whip out the jello shots!" Rose shouted throwing her arms up in the air that Alice and I both high fived. Abbie truly looked terrified.
"It will be fine." I said rubbing her arm reassuringly. "We are good at this." I said making Rose and I laugh.
"Your good at getting drunk?" Abbie asked with a raised eyebrow.
We looked at each other and nodded. "Pretty much." I said nodding.
She laughed nervously. "Okay. . ." She said rolling her eyes.
"I have an idea." Alice called from the kitchen where she was making out Jello shots.
We looked toward that direction curiously. "Let's all tell Abbie about the first time we got drunk." She said excitedly.
Rose and I nodded enthusiastically.
"Alright I'll go first." Rose said sitting up straighter.
"We were in. . ." She looked at me for help. "Junior year?" She asked and I nodded. "And we were going to this party, all six of us. We had just won are cheer classic so it was sort of a celebratory party." I smiled at the memory. We had so much fun in high school, back when everything was how it was supposed to be. Or so we thought.
"Well we decided to play beer pong. Bella and I were playing against Em and Edward-" Abbie cut her off.
"Where was Jas and Alice?" She asked curiously.
Rose looked at me making a disgusted face. "We don't know and I don't think we want to." She staged whispered to Abbie making her giggle, I think the alcohol is getting to her.
"Hey!" Alice protested from the kitchen. We all laughed and Rose continued with her story.
"So it turns out I suck at beer pong. So after playing a few rounds, with pure vodka, I was as you can see trashed."
I continued for her. "She was so funny she came up to me and Edward and hugged us both with a huge smile. She was all 'Soo I have a wedgie and Bella your hair is so pretty!' she was a very interesting drunk." I laughed at the memory, Edward and I laughed for days.
Rose rolled her eyes. "I didn't say that." She told Abbie. I widened my eyes and nodded.
"Yes she did ask Edward." I told her.
Abbie laughed and took another sip of her martini.
"You go Bellie, yours is my favorite." Alice chirped happily from the kitchen still making out shots, gosh how many is she making.
I laughed and nodded. "Okay well Edward and I got in a fight so I wanted to go out to get him off my mind you know." I started out, forgetting it's probably strange for her to hear things about me and Edward, but never the less she nodded along.
"Well we ended up at the same party so I was all stressed out and started to drink. Alot. Which I never ever did. So once Edward saw me he started to panic, but the more I drank the madder I got at him. So he was all frustrated trying to help me but I wouldn't let him." I laughed at the memory of the annoyance clear on his face that night.
"Well I ended up falling down the stairs and in my intoxicated state dragging Edward with me, when he tried to catch me, which I found hilarious, Edward not so much." I smiled again thinking about how irritated he was, Rose was laughing now too, she saw the entire thing.
"So Edward decided to take me home since I was 'out of control' as he put it. So we were in his precious Volvo and he was yelling at me about how I was irresponsible, and all the same pent up anger from our fight earlier. So we are screaming at each other and I started to feel sick, but he wouldn't listen to me. So. . " I trailed off and Abbie covered her mouth laughing.
"You didn't." She said laughing.
I nodded. "Oh yeah all over him and his car. He was sooo mad at me." I said shaking my head.
She laughed, along with Alice and Rose who always got a kick out of that story. "I could imagine."
"Yeah but I just kissed him and he got over it." I shrugged nonchalantly taking a drink it wasn't for a few moments later when I realized what I just said.
I looked up sheepishly. "Sorry." I apologized.
Abbie just smiled and nodded. "It's okay." She said softly but the atmosphere got awkward.
"Jello shots!" Alice said breaking the silence, bouncing in the room with a tray of Jello shots.
"My god Ali." Rose said staring at the multitude of red jello in front of us.
She shrugged. "I thought we were getting drunk tonight." She said innocently.
I laughed and pushed her head playfully and we all took a cup in out hands except Abbie.
"Common Abs." I encouraged.
She grabbed one slowly.
"I promise being drunk is kind of fun." Alice said happily.
Rose and I rolled our eyes and Abbie just laughed.
"Alright. On 3." Rose said.
We all nodded in agreement.
"1"
"2"
"3!" Rose, Ali and I shouted together before knocking back our shots.
"Whoo!" Alice said shaking her head.
We laughed and looked at Abbie whose face was construed into a grimace.
"Wow that's strong." She said still making an odd face.
We all laughed. "Alright again." I said as we all got another shot.
"Again?" Abbie asked slightly confused.
We laughed. "Yeah if we want a buzz we gotta keep going. Common." I said and we shot back another one.
This night should get interesting.
--
"So after hours of waiting in the cold, and being bored out of our mind!" I said extremely exaggerated after my very, very many Jello shots, and two martinis. "Edward finally went and got our coats, and they let us in."
Alice laughed, way too much for not such a funny story. "He was so mad." She said through her giggles.
We were telling Abbie about the time the guys made us it in line for the midnight showing of Star Wars. It was a fun night.
"He is so stubborn." Abbie mused.
Rose nodded, her head in my lap. "Oh my god. Yeah!" She said suddenly sitting up excited.
I laughed at her.
She pointed at Abbie as if to say something but then her face turned into curiosity. She shrugged. "I don't know what I was gonna say." She said simply and laid back down in my lap.
We all laughed our heads off because well, We. Were. Drunk.
My cell phone rang from where it was sitting on my coffee table. I leaned awkwardly to reach for it, since Rose was on my lap, and answered.
"Hellooo." I sang happily into the phone.
I heard my favorite velvet chuckle on the other end. "Uh Oh I know that Bella voice." Amusement clear in his voice.
"Eddie!" I sang happily, forgetting I'm supposed to pretend I wasn't hopelessly in love with him.
He laughed louder this time. "Having fun?" He asked in a knowing way.
I nodded even though he couldn't see me through the phone. "Yes ma'm." I sang playing with Rose's hair absentmindedly.
He laughed again. "Are you corrupting my fiancé?" He asked in a teasing accusatory way.
"Of course." I scoffed as if it were obvious.
He laughed. "I should have known." He said in mock shame.
I giggled. "What the boys doing? Shouldn't you be getting a lap dance?" I teased.
He laughed once again loudly. "Who says I'm not right now?" He teased.
"Well it must not be that good if your talking to me." I said in a bored tone.
He chuckled. "Nah we just are at a bar. I just called to make sure you girls didn't need our rescuing or anything."
"Nah. Were good. We like it better without you." I said in a serious voice.
I could practically hear his eyes roll "Well alright then I will leave you girls to your night. Goodnight. Be careful and have fun." I laughed and shook my head at his paranoia.
"Alright you boys too." I added in. "Night. See you tomorrow." I hung up still smiling from talking to Edward, and automatic reaction. Until I looked around and seen Abbie staring at me with a curious, sad, hurt, and slightly angry expression.
I totally forgot she was here. Oops.
"What did he want?" She tried to ask casually but I could hear the strain in her voice.
"He wanted to make sure we weren't corrupting you." I said laughing, trying to make it seem like it was no big deal, because it really isn't.
She nodded and faked a smile.
"I need to pee." I announced lifting Rose's head off my lap and skipping down the hall towards the restroom.
On my way back I heard Abbie saying something that caught my attention.
"No I understand I do, I know he will always love her, she will always be number one in his heart. I will never take the place of Bella Swan." I stopped in my tracks and leaned against the wall so they couldn't see me.
"Abbie if you know this than why are you still with him?" I heard Rose ask.
I heard her take a deep breath. "Because I love him and Bella said no to his proposal, I said yes. She gave him up, now it's my turn to give it a shot. I just hate how everyone feels so bad for her when she left him." My eyes filled with tears of anger.
"Excuse me!" Rose said rudely.
Alice then cut in, before Rose got out of hand. "Abbie, Edward cheated on her." She paused, probably to see Abbie's reaction.
"She found out the morning before he proposed so of course she left. She was hurt and felt betrayed, so don't you dare blame Bella. Edward screwed up and he knows it too. Bella did the right thing and is continuing to do the right thing. I think you ought to be a little more understanding considering how great she is being." I could picture Alice's light green eyes blazing like they did when she used that tone.
"I'm sorry." Abbie said in a breathless tone. "I had no idea."
"We know you love him, but you also know he loves her." Rose said softly.
It was silent. I instantly felt bad, I needed to stop this, there is no reason for Abbie to feel insecure. He is marrying her.
"I'm not gonna give up. I will be here until he tells me otherwise. He isn't the type of guy you walk away from if you can help it." Abbie finally said.
And I understood. She was right. If I had a choice, if things had been different, between Edward and I, If he hadn't cheated, I would have never left him. You just don't give him up without a good reason.
"I can respect that." Rose said softly. "I just want you to know what you're getting yourself into."
"I do." Abbie said confidently.
I heard Alice sigh. "Edward and Bella are meant for each other, always were, always will be. They are both stubborn to no end, but they can't stay away. They will in the end be together, its inevitable. I'm just saying that . . . it's not fun to be a footnote in someone else's love story." Alice finished quietly.
I leaned my head against the wall and closed my eyes. They are wrong, and they shouldn't be telling Abbie any of this.
I heard another deep sigh. "I know you all think I'm a monster but the truth is I didn't know Edward and Bell dated, well seriously anyway, until after he proposed." My mouth hung open in shock. How could she not know that.
"Yeah, I found out when Edward took me to his parent's house to tell them about our engagement and something didn't fit, with the way they talked about her and looked at him in a almost disappointed way. So I asked Esme and she told me they dated for years. I was furious with Edward. I couldn't believe he didn't tell me." Tears fell silently down my cheeks as I heard her story.
This whole time we made her out to be the bad guy, the evil cousin who dated her cousins ex and didn't care, when she didn't even know.
"So we got home and I yelled and asked him for the whole truth. I freaked when he told me he proposed, although he didn't tell me about the cheating, but I left him, called of the engagement. But I went back because by that point I was in to deep. I was in love." I could see her shrug. "I chose him over her, probably a mistake, but the way I've treated Bella, it's one I will just have to live with." She finished.
I could tell Alice and Rose didn't know what to say. they were silent. They had been judging her, they probably felt guilty. I figured it was my time to intervene.
"Hey." I chirped.
They looked up and all smiled fakely. "Did you fall in?" Rose teased.
I stuck out my tongue and sat beside them. "No I fell asleep for a minute." I lied.
They all bought it though.
"Well we probably should, we have so much to do tomorrow with the rehearsal dinner, and the family coming in." Abbie said in her wedding mode. She was actually almost human tonight, for a point.
Now she was back to the pain in the ass Abbie we have become accustomed to.
"Yeah you can take the guest room if you would like or you could stay with us in my room." I offered. Rose, Alice and I always slept in the same bed, we didn't like to be away from each other. We were such girls.
"I'll take the guest, I like being alone." She said apologetically.
I smiled. "I understand." We all stood up and cleaned a little before heading to the rooms.
"Goodnight." I called as she reached the guest room door.
She smiled. "Night." She then disappeared in the room.
I ran and hopped on my bed quickly getting in the middle, It was my spot. I was always in the middle, Rose on the right and Ali on the left. It was kind of strange actually but that's just how it went.
They smiled and climbed into their usual spots and we got comfortable.
"So Abbie was actually almost human tonight." Alice said into the darkness.
"Yeah I could actually see how you were able to be close with her." Rose added in.
I felt guilty for my eavesdropping but quickly pushed it aside. "Yeah. She used to be my best friend. I mean I still love her dearly and always will, but. . ." I trailed off not knowing how to explain it. "It's just too complicated to fix now. There's too much water under the whatever." I said waving my hand.
Alice giggled. "'Too much water under the whatever' very eloquent Bellie, I like it." She teased with a giggle.
Rose and I joined in her laughter and I hit her through the blanket playfully.
"Shut up." I tried to say angry but I failed, because I was still laughing.
"I'm buzzed and exhausted, give me a break." I whined.
Rose patted my head comfortingly and we all laughed.
"Uhh." Rose grunted suddenly.
Alice and I looked at her curiously.
"What?" I finally asked.
"This is like the last time it's going to be like this. You're leaving." She said, it being the first time tonight that that was true. I forgot about that and suddenly I was feeling nostalgic.
I felt tears sting my eyes at the thought. I took a deep shaky breath and grabbed both of their hands under the blanket, which they willingly held mine too.
"I'm gonna miss you girls like crazy." I whispered my voice to thick with tears for it to come out much louder.
They laughed shakily, I could hear the tears in their voices.
"I love you both and I honestly couldn't ask for better friends." I said truly grateful.
"Aww Bella." Alice whined. probably for me making her cry.
I laughed letting go of their hands so I could wipe my tears, I could see them doing the same.
"I'm serious, I love you girls. So much."
Rose smiled, the moon shining perfectly for me to see the tears glistening in her eyes. "Me too Bells."
Alice leaned her head on my shoulder on my other side. "Me too Bellie." She whispered.
I smiled and laid my head on top of Alice's and grabbed Rose's hand, and that's how we fell asleep.
So what did you think. I know it's not the best chapter but the next ones will be much better. This was just pretty much a filler.
Please review. Let me know what you think.
Thank you so much for reading=)
