Disclaimer: I own nothing!!!
Two weeks, two freaking weeks it has been since the night of my talent show, and the night of the fight between Edward and I.
Has he called?
No.
Sent flowers?
No.
Attempted to have any contact what so ever?
A big no!
All I knew was that I was not going to be one to make the first move. I did nothing wrong. We fought, so what, big deal, but he wants to go all taking the high road and shit, hearing that he needs to think about things. Yeah that's right he needs to think, that is about as pathetic as the its not you its me response. So I will let him think all he wants because I am done with it.
I should have known better than to start any of this with him. Who am I kidding, I knew exactly what was going to happen. Did I really expect Mr. Edward Cullen, A.K.A. God's gift to women, to come in date me, become my boyfriend, basically squeeze me into his suitcase wherever he goes, fall head over heels undeniably in love with me to the point of forgetting all other women existed, and one day many, many years down the road ask me to marry him and live happily ever after crap? Yeah right.
You did, that's why this hurts.
The irony to my story is that I am still expected to go to the prom. Yep, you heard it right. I, Isabella Marie Swan, was being forced to still go to the prom, dateless and all. The part about dateless is by choice. Over the last two weeks when Rose let it accidentally slip that I was without a male suitor to join me, I suddenly had at least a dozen offers. I politely declined everyone, hoping that I could still find a way out of going. No luck. The reason why I was being forced-Prom Court. I had been nominated to be Prom Queen against the likes of Lauren Mallory, and I just could not let that happen. That would be allowing the whole school to suffer for my sins. Plus, it would end our dance festivities year the right way. Rose was crowned Homecoming Queen in the fall, Alice was the Winter Festival Queen and now we were hoping for a clean sweep, 3-0.
To add salt to the wound, Emmett was coming to take Rose, and Jasper for Alice. This was basically their public coming out as couples. It was highly doubtful that after tonight their relationships would stay secret. I was feeling a pang of jealousy that they now got to be seen with their boyfriends out in public, hugging, kissing, holding hands…Ugh!!! God, I miss him so much, so much more than I even thought I was capable of. Maybe this is what is for the best, that I didn't get into deep.
Your already into it up to your chest. That's why your heart aches.
Okay scratch that maybe it is better for the fact that I can get over him sooner, learn my lessen and move on with my life. Nope it was just like the song I was currently listening to on my ipod.
Comparisons are easily done
Once you had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from the tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed.
The song kept playing, but all I could think about was Edward.
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
I was beginning to think that someone was trying to tell me something, or else this was one hell of a coincidence.
And yes I do regret
How could I let myself
Let you go
Now the lessons learned
I touched it and I was burned
Oh I think you should know
Okay I get it. I screwed up. I should have thought twice before I walked away. We could of figured a way to be together when he went back to L.A, or when he went on tour, or I went to college.
But he didn't love me.
There lies the real problem. I thought, I really freaking thought that he felt the same way. The way he was with me, the gentle kisses, the caring embraces, the way he…..
I have to stop this or my makeup is going to start running, I quickly grabbed a tissue from out of my clutch as I make my way over to Angela's house to pick her up for the prom. Ben, her boyfriend, is playing in the band that is performing at tonight's dance, and she was hesitant to arrive alone. Alice lent me her Porsche deeming it Prom Queen worthy since I would not ride with them in the limo. Sitting there watching all four of them be happy like that, I think would probably send me over the edge.
I pulled up to Angela's to find her out front with her parents getting her pictures taken in front of her mothers prized rose bushes. She looked so happy and so beautiful. I stopped the engine to get out of the car to go over and greet her parents.
After a dozen or so pictures later we were in the car off to the dance. Luckily, she agreed to go a little unfashionably early, so that I could basically hide off in the corner and sulk until the King and Queen announcement, then make my sneaky get away without being noticed. It was also to ensure that everyone was oblivious to the fact that I came dateless.
We got to school in record time, talking about small things like graduation, parties and such. Walking into the gym, I was amazed at the transformation that the gym had underwent in the last twenty four hours. I have to give it to Alice, she really outdid herself this time. I had to look really hard to even tell it was a gym. Every possible surface was covered over in black or white. The stage looked like a big band set up from the 1950's. Roses were placed on every table, which led me to ponder how she did this on our menial school budget. But that's Alice for you.
Angela tugged on my arm pulling me over towards a table towards the back of the room, motioning for me to sit down. I obliged.
"Bella," she said, giving me a sympathetic smile. "Are you okay with being here?" She reached across the table to grab my hand.
I just nodded and shrugged, looking away.
She squeezed my hand to get my attention, "everything will get better, I promise." She said before getting up to go over and greet her boyfriend who had come out on the stage looking for her.
Once I was alone again, I started to feel the pain again. I missed him. Damn it. I wanted him here with me. I needed to hear his voice in my ear, his arms around me, his fingers entwined with mine.
The music started playing at seven, little by little small groups of my schoolmates and their dates started filing in through the gym doors. I sat back and watched as Jake, who was nominated for Prom King, walked in with Lauren. Next was Mike, the other nominee, and his date for the evening, Jessica. Thirty minutes had already passed and I was starting to get worried when I heard a commotion coming from outside. Gasps and squealing was heard, which only led me to one possible conclusion: Emmett, Jasper, Rose and Alice just arrived.
True to form, Emmett sauntered in with my stunning twin on his arm. His dimples were showing as he was beaming with pride at the beauty by his side. They looked so happy. Next, Jasper came in looking unbelievably handsome as always totting a beautiful pixie, she was waving and smiling to everyone she passed, just like the little freak she was.
The four of them made there way over to my table after Angela had waved them over.
"Damn girl if my brother could see you now…" Emmett started off before being politely interrupted by my sister Rose, hitting him in the back of the head with her hand.
He just turned and looked at her inquisitively. Rose was shaking her head and rolling her eye at him.
"Ow, what was that for?" He asked, rubbing the back of his head from the impact.
"Tact, asshole. Its called tact." She said before pulling him away from the group.
"Bella, sorry about that," Jasper said looking at me with caring eyes. "But he is right, you do look beautiful."
"Thanks Jasper." I said, before walking away from them towards the stage.
"Bella, hold up," Alice called after me. She was running in her heels, making a quick tapping sound trying to catch up to me.
"What?" I asked, tears starting to form in the corners of my eyes.
"Oh sweetie, everything is going to get better." She said pulling me into a careful embrace. Carefully avoiding getting both of our dresses ruined from each others makeup.
"Yeah, I heard that earlier." I said pulling a tissue out from my clutch to dab at the corners of my eyes. Alice still having a death grip around my waist.
"Well its true. I promise you after tonight, everything will be better." She said, before leaning up to give me a quick peck on my cheek, before bouncing off to join Jasper, Rose and Emmett on the dance floor.
I have to admit watching the four of them dancing out there, while everyone else had parted off the floor so they could watch, was hilarious. The song Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas was blaring over the speakers. I never in my life had seen something so funny as watching Emmett try to dance to that song. He was no match for Rose, who was clearly in a league of her own out there. Every single guy had there eyes plastered to the sight of her and Alice dancing to that song. Emmett catching me laughing at him came over to get me out there.
"You need to go dance." He said, practically yelling it in my ear.
I just crossed my arms to show him I was staying exactly where I was.
"Rose is going to kill me if I don't get you out there with her, please." He said, pleading like a three year old in a candy store. He turned on his killer smile and dimples to add to the affect.
He had me.
The song then switched to one of my favorites. Sugar by Flo Rida started and I went out on the dance floor by my sister and best friend. Jasper quietly took his leave as Emmett and he walked towards the back doors, opening them and quickly shutting them. I watched as the two of them then made there way back through the adoring crowd of fans to watch the three of us in action.
I looked over to Alice and Rose who had the hugest grins on their faces as they glanced over to the guys and then back at me.
What is up with them?
The music ended and we all made our way over to the table where Angela and I had claimed earlier.
"If I may get your attention please." A voice rang out over the speakers. I looked up at the stage to see my schools principle was addressing the crowd. "Thank you, it is time to announce this years Prom King and Queen."
"Oh Bella," Alice said in a high pitched squeal. Clapping and bouncing up and down in her place.
I just sat there watching as he started to make the announcement.
He was passed an envelope that he started ripping it open. He pulled out a piece of paper and then started speaking again. "This years Prom King and Queen are…."
" Jacob Black."
Oh shit.
"And……"
Sorry to end it there but next chapter will be huge!!! Please Read and Review and let me know whatcha think.
