Bella POV
The past tow night I have been having weird dreams. Apart from the recent Edward trying to tell me something and then being outspoken by a loud roar and random eyes. It was weird how my dreams always centered on Edward and I. It was like each dream had a clue as to something that was going to happen-almost as if it wanted me to put two and two together.
Too bad I wasn't good at that.
Last nights dream was difficult to think about. I was scared at what it was trying to tell me.
"I can't believe you would do this to me! I trusted you!" I shouted at Edward, dangerously aware of how much moisture was filling up into my eyelids.
"Bella you need to let me explain!" Edward pleaded.
"Explain what! That you're a big liar who doesn't have any respect for anyone and you think you can do whatever you want to people and they will forgive you?" I shot back.
"Bella, please. Trust me, you have the wrong idea." Edward's voice cracked as he desperately shot back.
"Yeah, the wrong idea about you! Goodbye Edward." I stormed off into the other direction and he tried to follow me but something was blocking him from that happening.
I turned around one more time to see him wrapping his arms around a red-haired girl. He was kissing her.
I walked away numbly, pretending not to hear the cackling voice from behind me.
Victoria's face flashed across my vision with a cruel smile on her face.
"Told you Edward doesn't go for women with stringy hair and no personality."
I tried to make sense of it. Edward would never do that to me. I trusted him. He wouldn't! Why am I even thinking about this? He's my boyfriend and I trust him. Everyone has nightmares once in a while.
I shook my head and got up.
"Pwella, wit's twime to get wou weady." Alice walked into the living room. She was brushing her teeth as she was talking to me.
"Okay, but first off, don't get tooth paste on my rug." I laughed.
"All set!" Rosalie came bouncing into the room.
"What?" I asked.
"Alice asked me to lay out your outfit." She explained. "Now, go get yourself changed so we can do your make-up and hair."
"Yes ma'am." I saluted her and walked into my room.
"Wear my outfit right this time!" Alice called after me.
I rolled my eyes and sank down onto my bed. I glanced over at my outfit. Not bad-dark jeggings with a white shirt that went underneath a cardigan sweater. Alice also laid out some gray flats to go with it.
I quickly slipped into the outfit, checking to make sure I was wearing the outfit correctly. I would snag any chance to get one less lecture from Alice on how I don't know how to dress myself properly.
As soon as I entered the bathroom, I was taken prisoner. Rosalie combed through my hair as Alice applied my makeup.
As soon as I was let go, I ran out of the bathroom. I hated when they played Barbie Bella.
"What time is the interview?" I asked.
"3:00." Alice responded.
I glanced over at the clock. 1:45.
"Jasper should be here with Edward any minute."
Jasper was picking us up in a limo. After all, he was still working as a bodyguard. He took his job seriously enough that he wouldn't let anyone but he drive the limo. Emmett was taking his car and he would drive Edward and I home after the interview.
Today I had an interview scheduled with Edward on one of those talk shows where they interview all the famous celebrities.
There was a knock on the door.
"Called it!" Rosalie sang and then walked over to get the door.
"Are you ready to chat it up on TV?" Emmett boomed coming through the door. "Edward and Bella, chatting on TV! C-H-A-T-T-I-N-G! First comes the question and then comes the answer and then comes the next big rumor about Edella's relationship wheeling around in a baby carriage!" Emmett ended.
"Wow. That was just wrong in so many ways." Jasper shook his head and walked by his brother and stood next to Alice.
"Mom must have dropped you at least ten times when you were a baby." Edward chuckled and walked over to me and kissed me.
I kissed him back and he looked at me strangely. He looked into my eyes trying to read something from them.
"Let's get a move on it!" Jasper said and ushered us out the door.
Ten minutes later we arrived at the studio and the workers ushered us in. Rosalie, Alice, Emmett and Jasper all got to their seats before they even started letting the audience in.
Backstage, the interviewer who's name was Marcus, had given instructions to give us a preview of some of the question's he was going to ask, so that we could think about our answer.
Edward and I went into a private room and were going to talk about the questions.
I was about to ask him about the first one when he stopped me.
"What's wrong?" He asked sliding next to me, capturing my hand in his.
"Nothing." I responded confused.
"You stink at lying Bella." Edward answered.
"Yeah, I know." I chewed the bottom of my lip looking down.
"What?" He asked lifting his finger under my chin and forcing me to look into his beautiful green eyes.
"It's stupid really." I responded. I knew he could see the slight stress etched in my features about my latest dreams.
"It's not stupid if you are worried." He answered.
I took a deep breath and explained to him about my latest dream and also about how I thought my dreams tried to tell me something. I also told him about the way my last dreams had snow and kissing and how it hinted to me when our first kiss was going to be.
"Bella, there is a difference between those dreams and the dream you had last night. The one about the kissing was realistic, but the one that you had last night, was something that would never, ever happen. I would never do that to you Bella. You are my absolute everything and I would never hurt you like that. You are the only one for me."
"I knew it was silly. It just freaked me out. The thought of losing you…" I trailed off shivering.
"Never." He answered and kissed my forehead.
There was a knock on the door and Edward got up and opened it.
"You are needed on stage now." A worker informed us.
"Okay." I got up and looked down at the note cards in my hand. I'll just have to wing it.
Edward and I were led to the stage where the stage was concealed by a curtain until the show was on air.
"Now, stand here and don't go out and take your seats until Marcus says." The worker informed.
"Thank you." I answered.
I slid my hand in Edward's. We were officially a couple and I thought that we should just finish off the rumors of Edward and I. The famous are they dating or not.
Edward nodded understanding. I smiled up at him.
"How are you guys doing?" Marcus asked coming up to us.
"Well, thank you." Edward responded.
"Great." I smiled.
"Okay, awesome." Marcus smiled and then walked to the middle of the stage. The curtains pulled back, which I guess meant they were now, live. The crowd erupted into applause at the sight of Marcus.
"Today I am excited to announce that we have not two but four special guests that will be sitting in these seats right here." He motioned to the left and the right of him.
"Who else is there?" I whispered to Edward.
"I have no idea." Edward responded.
"For right now, we will have two of our guests on stage and the other two will be a secret until later. Please give a round of applause for Miss. Bella Swan and Mr. Edward Cullen!"
We walked out to the stage and shook Marcus's hand. Edward and I settled down on the two chairs and to his left and he sat down on his chair.
"So Bella, your album has been a hit so far. You just got back from your tour in August. How was that?"
"Oh, it was awesome! I loved going to all the places that I have never been before and it was really fun performing my songs." I responded.
"Mr. Cullen, I understand you have been working on a new album? How is that so far?"
"Pretty good actually. I am almost finished with it now. I hope all the fans will enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed writing it."
"You wouldn't perhaps want to give us a preview of a song would you?" Marcus asked.
Edward laughed. "Sorry, not yet."
The crowd booed Edward.
"I promise, really soon." Edward said to them.
"Ms. Swan." Marcus directed the question for me after the crowd calmed down. "I'm going to cut to the chase and ask a question that I know everyone wants to know the truth to." He stopped and the crowd waited.
Here we go…
"What is the story with Edward and you? Are you dating or are you friends?" Marcus asked.
"Well, we started out as friends." I started to explain.
"But…?" He trailed off prompting me.
"But once we got to know each other, we decided we wanted to be more then friends." I answered.
"So, Mr. Cullen, when did you realize that you liked Bella more then a friend?" Marcus asked.
"When I had my first dinner with her." He explained.
"When was that?" He asked.
"Well, it was the day that my relationship had ended with Victoria Smith. I had called Bella because she told me to call her if I ever needed her and I called Bella to go out for dinner and to talk. After that, I knew that she was different from my few past relationships and that I wanted to be more then her friend."
"Now what was the initial reason why you ended your relationship with her?" He asked.
"Well, because she went out with me for publicity and not for the real person I am." Edward explained.
"How about you Bella? What was the initial reason your relationship broke off with Jacob Black?"
I didn't respond right away. I weighed my words in my mouth. "Well, because same as Edward, he used me for money and fame. Once he got that he didn't care about me, just himself."
"Well, ladies and gentleman, would you like to hear the other side of their stories?" Marcus asked turning towards the audience.
"What do you mean?" Edward asked.
"Ladies and Gentleman, please give a round of applause for Victoria Smith and Jacob Black!" Marcus clapped him hands as Jacob and Victoria walked out of the stage and took a seat across from us.
Edward and I looked at each other. What was this idiot thinking? Our old exes who were the biggest jerks to us, up on stage going to tell everyone their lies about what happened.
I looked over at the audience searching for Alice and Rosalie. When I spotted them I saw that their mouths were dropped open and their eyes were flashing with anger.
I glanced up at Jacob and saw that he was smirking at me. I squared my shoulders and glared right back at him. I didn't break eye contact until he did. I wasn't going to be a weakling anymore. His chest moved up and down as he contained a laugh that had to be directed at me. Jerk.
"Okay, everyone settle down." Marcus quieted the audience. "Now, would like to go first?"
With the luck I was having today, it didn't surprise me that Jacob would be going first.
"Okay Jacob what is your input on the story Bella told us?"
"Well, it is incorrect. You see, I was nothing but nice to Bella, but then one day she got mad because I borrowed a few dollars from her, which of course I would be giving back to her once I had my paycheck." Jacob stopped as I practically growled in my seat.
"Go on…" Marcus urged.
"But, being a drama queen yelled at me that I shouldn't be taking her money and blah, blah, blah. So, I left her because I wasn't going to be going out with a drama queen. That's not my style."
I shook my head. None of his words bothered me whatsoever. I was just so mad that he was lying.
Edward tried to get up and walk over to Jacob but I pulled him back. "He's not worth it."
Edward studied my face and then didn't take his eyes off of Jacob.
"Victoria?" Marcus turned towards her.
"Well, this ugly, girl with no talent was all over Edward the minute she laid her eyes on him. Edward claims that I was the reason for the breakup but it was all her. She stole him from me and brainwashed him and filled his head with lies."
Edward and I rolled our eyes.
"LIARS!" A voice called from the audience. That voice was Rosalie.
"Well, we certainly do have a mystery on our hands. Who's telling the truth?" Marcus asked. "Why don't we ask the audience? Clap if you think the couple I point to is telling the truth." He pointed towards Jacob and Victoria and there was absolute silence in the crowd. Once he pointed towards Edward and I the whole audience erupted into applause. Alice and Rosalie stood up and clapped.
"The people have spoken!" Marcus chuckled.
When everyone quieted down, Marcus continued on interviewing all four of us and then I was asked if I could sing a song.
"Well, it's up to the audience." I responded. Everyone erupted into applause and suddenly an idea popped into my head. I looked up at Rosalie and Alice and smiled. "Well, the song that I am going to sing isn't one from any of my albums. It's a song that I wrote on day with my two friends a little while back and now, I feel like I should sing it, under the circumstances." I said to the crowd.
Translation: This is my payback and stand to Jacob Black. Right here and right now I would sing this song to his face and finally feel like he is absolutely behind me. Revenge.
"We all are dying of suspense Bella. Let's here it." Marcus urged.
"Okay." I replied and looked up at Rosalie and Alice who we both trying to contain their giggles.
I was handed a microphone and walked onto the center of the stage.
"Oh, really? If someone told me she going to sing I would have brought my earplugs." Victoria whined from behind me.
I rolled my eyes.
"You can leave Victoria. I'm sure that would make the audience just as happy as it would make me." Edward's voice responded from behind me. I looked back at him and he winked at me.
I brought the microphone to my lips, now unsure if I should do this. Yeah, I was going to.
(Rose and Alice (in the story obviously they actually didn't) wrote the intro to the song)
"Wanna find some boy, rip his heart right out
First man I see, gonna take him down
It ain't the Christian thing to do, they say
But someone, somewhere's gotta pay."
"And if it wasn't for guys like you, there wouldn't be songs like this
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong, I wouldn't go off like this
Yeah, even I'm surprised how easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you, there wouldn't be songs like this."
(Rosalie thought of the first two lines. She thought it would be a good way to show how I felt after the break-up…her words not mine.)
"Broke my tv, pawned my guitar
After maxing out my credit cards
You lied much too much, and you lied again
Caught you kissing other girls from up the bend."
(That last line should be, "Caught you on the couch with my best friend." But that didn't happen in the story so I changed that line!)
"And if it wasn't for guys like you, there wouldn't be songs like this
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong, I wouldn't go off like this."
"Yeah, even I'm surprised how easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you, there wouldn't be songs like this."
"Songs like this one that
Tell the whole world
Just what a jerk you are."
I started to clap because I thought that it would go along with the tempo of the song.
"And if it wasn't for guys like you, there wouldn't be songs like this."
I continued to clap and then stopped after the next line
"And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong, I wouldn't go off like this
Yeah, even I'm surprised how easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you, there wouldn't be songs like this."
"No, if it wasn't for guys like you."
I started to clap again.
"There wouldn't be songs like this."
I finished the song and the crowd erupted into applause. I walked back over to Edward and he looked at me with an amused face. I knew why. That song was so anti-Bella. It was definitely not something someone would expect me to do. I was so glad I sung that though in his face. It was really sweet revenge. That was the most rebellious thing I have ever done!
"Well Bella, that was certainly something." Marcus told me.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"Where did the inspiration come from?" He asked.
Should I say it or not? Let's see, he came out and called me a drama queen, but I should be the better person and not sink so low to his level. "Well, it's just something my friends and I thought of one day." I explained.
"How did you come up with it?" Marcus asked.
"Well…" I chewed my lip. "I made it up for all the girls who have gotten their hearts broken from their boyfriends." I answered. Yeah, that was a good response,
"I see." Marcus answered. "Hopefully you will record and sell that song."
I smiled.
"Well, this is all we have for today, tune in tomorrow because we will be interviewing the famous Jessica Stanley!"
The crowd erupted into applause and then they started to exit. Jacob and Victoria left the stage ignoring us.
"I liked the song." Edward chuckled.
"Thank you." I laughed.
"You should have seen Black's face when you started singing! It was hilarious."
"Good. He deserved it." I smiled.
He laughed. We said goodbye to Marcus and walked out of the studio.
"Oh, Bella, I left my coat inside. I'll go get it. You can go ahead. I'll meet you at Emmett's car." Edward responded.
"Okay." I smiled and walked over where Rose and Emmett were standing.
"WHOOOO! Look out! Here comes miss Bella Swan! The bad girl! That song was so rockin' girlfriend!" Emmett high-fived me.
"Thanks!" I laughed.
"Bella that was AWESOME! I am so glad you did that! That song actually sounded awesome the way you sung it. You should put it in your next album." Rosalie laughed.
"Thank you. And I know right! Even though that is the total opposite of me, it felt really awesome to sing." I agreed.
"Where's Eddie-boy?" Emmett asked.
"He left his coat inside." I explained. "He should be out any second."
"Oh, okay. Well hop in. We'll wait for him in the car, instead of in the cold." Rosalie said jumping inside the jeep.
Ten minutes later…
"Are you lying Bella? I don't think it takes someone this long to get a coat." Emmett looked at me through the rearview mirror.
"I'll go inside and look for him." I answered slightly worried. I hopped out of the car and walked inside.
Okay…where to look? I thought for a moment and the only place he could have left his jacket was the stage and the room we went into before the show. First things first, in the room we were in before the show. It took me a second to find it.
I walked in front of the door, not bothering to knock. I gripped the handle and pulled. I opened the door and my hand froze on the doorknob.
I stood frozen in the doorway staring at Victoria and Edward breaking away from kissing. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you two." I spit frozen in the doorway.
"Oh! This is good!" Victoria laughed at me.
"Oh god, Bella...No this isn't what it looks like." Edward said reading my eyes.
My only response was my hand unwrapping around the doorknob and running out of the studio.
I burst through the doors and walked hurriedly into the parking lot. When the I heard the doors open again I started to run.
I ran past Emmett's jeep. Emmett and Rosalie rolled downed the window. I saw them do that from the corner of my eye.
"Did you find hi- Where are you going?" Rosalie called out through the window.
"Home!" I responded just loud enough for them to hear.
"Bella!" Edward's voice came from behind somewhere.
"What's going on?" Emmett asked. I just ignored them and walked away from them.
"Bella!" Rosalie called.
"Bella!" Edward yelled again running over to me. He ran past me and stopped in front of me in front of my path.
"Move." I whispered.
"Please let me explain." Edward pleaded.
I stopped in front of him looking down. I refused to look at his face. Anger sped
through my veins. "Explain what? You got bored of me? Used me? Couldn't resist not going back out with Victoria? What Ed- What?" My voice raised.
"Absolutely not! Bella, I told you I would never hurt you." Edward pleaded.
"So do it behind my back. Fabulous. So she probably isn't the only one? Great. This is just so awesome." I laughed angrily. "Move." I whispered.
"Bella, can I just explain to you what happened?" Edward asked.
"I've got a pretty good idea." I spit.
"Bella?" Rosalie asked.
"What's going on?" Emmett asked coming up from behind us.
"Hi guys! What's up?" Alice asked coming over to us with Jasper. Alice's smiled. "Wh-?"
I cut her off. "Excuse me but can you move?" I asked him again.
"So you're going to walk home?" Edward asked now some irritation hinted in his voice.
"Exactly." I shot and finally I walked by him trying to get by him.
He blocked me. "Bella, let me drive you home. You can't walk out in this weather."
"From you, no thanks." I nearly growled.
"What's going on?" Alice asked.
"This is the last time I am going to ask you. Move." I barley was able to choke out the words.
Edward stared at me for a long time and then moved from my path.
Alice and Rosalie followed me.
"Emmett go with Jasper. Em, I'm taking your car." Edward's words droned in the distance.
"What is going on?" Emmett asked exasperated.
"Later." Edward answered.
I continued walking down the road and away from them.
"Guys. Just go home with Jasper and Emmett. I'll call you later." I whispered.
"But Bella, you can't walk home." Alice answered.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's like three miles in the cold." Rosalie answered.
I shrugged. "That's alright. I could go for a long walk."
"Bella this is crazy!" Alice said.
"Guys, I just need to think. Trust me, I'll be fine." I reassured them.
"Well, we will walk with you to your apartment. Emmett and Jasper can pick us up there." Rosalie said stubbornly.
I sighed. "Okay."
"Want to tell us what happened?" Alice asked.
"Not now." I answered.
"Okay." Alice replied.
We walked in silence for the rest of the time and when I got to my apartment, I said bye to them and watched as they drove away with Emmett and Jasper.
I walked inside and quickly got into my pajamas and went to close the curtain when I saw a jeep pull into the parking lot.
He could stay there as long as he liked but I wasn't going to answer.
I laid down on my bed. I sat and thought, and thought and thought. Then somewhere between the tearless sobs and the shock of what had happened I fell into a restless, dreamless sleep.
I woke up at seven and sat up. My body ached and as I stretched all my joints cracked and popped.
I made myself some coffee and eggs. Just as I was about to call Alice and Rosalie to talk I heard a thump from outside of my door.
I walked hurriedly to the door, not sure what the noise was.
I opened the door a crack and when I didn't see anything I opened it a little more to find Edward sleeping in the hallway in front of my door.
