Chapter 1 Hardwood Floors
Bella POV
After I pulled up in the driveway, I threw myself back into the driver seat. Taking a deep breath and chanting to myself over and over that, "I will not kill Alec today." I've had quite some time to process this and accept it. I'm not angry, I'm not hurt, at least not anymore. With this in mind I prepare myself for what's to come. I snatch up the pictures from the passenger seat while getting out of the car. After one more deep breath to center myself, I make my way up to the front door.
I knew he was home because the bastard's car was sitting outside in the driveway. I slammed the front door with the intention of making my presence known while waiting for his typical and excepted greeting.
"Hey Isa baby, is that you?" God, he knew I hated that name! And of course, he didn't disappoint.
'Motherfucker who else would it be.' I thought to myself with an eye roll.
"Where are you?" I replied, completely ignoring his one-sided term of endearment.
"In the living room!" He responded.
As I stomped my way into the living-room, my stilettos hitting the hardwood floor with a loud clacking noise; I felt the anticipation build even more. When I came into his line of sight, he smiled at me from the couch with a question on his lips, "Hey Isa, what are you doing home so early?"
"You lying heathen." I calmly declare.
