THE PLAY
Thank you montana21 and garose,rosiegoodrum for faving following this story ,
Finally coming to the end of the story !
Disclaimer: All the characters are of SM
The next scene was Kristen and Robert were celebrating his birthday party which was organized by Kristen herself.
Angela narrated she was happy and feeling lucky that Robert came back and forgave her, she even said to his friends who had come to the party. Robert was fiddling with her cell while she talked with the guests at the party.
Edward: What's this, that scum's no is still in your phone?
Bella: I didn't call him. You can check my phone; it's in very old callers list. I have not touched my phone since you went away Australia. I was with Taylor; you can the tabloid news . People are staring at us! She tugged Edward from stage as she pleaded " Calm down, we can talk about it afterwards, please "
Bella could feel the humiliation Kristen was undergoing, and then she started crying .
Her love of her life was humiliating her in front of everyone. He could have easily let out his heart content in their privacy or broken up earlier without forgiving her in the first place .
But no, he took her back and insulted her in front of everyone. He was hurting like her like an eye for an eye.
Edward got tensed on seeing Bella crying .
It was not written in the play, he looked over Mr. Berty for some signal to end the scene but saw him too engrossed in the play.
He had no option but to carry on as the other people begin to whisper that Bella has immersed herself that she started crying when it wasn't in the script.
"Why are you crying now? The whole world is laughing on me, poor Robert! I am so humiliated in media. It's over; I can't take anymore of your cheating ass, Kris!"Saying this he started to storm out .
Bella was not supposed to retort back but she could not help answering back, she knew she was to heal alone inspite of bearing public humiliation every day.
Before Edward could go away, Bella replied back ; she felt right as she screamed ." That's rich! How come you seduced me from Michael? He was my first love. He didn't disrespect me or diss at me while promoting his movie when you broke us apart . Not one of these so called fans had any problem then on my break up with him."
She sighed "He was a victim too! Inspite of being cautioned by the director of the movie not to influence my teenage mind with your chivalries, DID YOU LISTEN! How can I be happy, with you who cares so little much of my self respect, Robert. I am going out!"saying this Bella went from the stage as Edward eyes widened .
He forgot his role and tried to hug her back to comfort her . She looked so distressed that it made him fear for her.
Bella pushed him away slightly as he stopped trying from leaving .
At Bella' s home
"Bells ..What are you thinking? You cut your finger and were going to cut it again "Jacob shouted as he took her near the sink to wash her blood. She was turning little green .
"Don't breathe honey , I got the bandages " said Jacob as he found it easily in her supplies. He slowly and carefully applied the bandage on her finger.
"All done !" his eyes again looked at her but now there was no anger that had been minutes ago but only pain.
Bella noticed him closely as he cleared the mess .
"What's hurting you ?" Jacob asked her but she remained silent as she closed her eyes.
He was at his wits end, they had never ever shut each other out even when they quarrelled .
He sighed dejectedly" We will talk after I clean the blood and finish the salad." She was tensed he could feel that.
They had always told their secrets to each other ,but now she was shutting him out .
Bella looked down at the floor to avoid seeing the pain in his eyes .
She felt his stare when she went near him to clean the mess. She knew she was hurting him by shutting him out .
But she badly needed to sort out the mess of her life in her head before she could move on life.
She felt that she had always let Edward run a free hand on their relationship.
Playing the role of Kirsten made her think, was it fair to let anyone be little you for no reason and refuses to listen you for once claiming it was for their good.
Till she made her decision , it was better that she suffered in silence
1 week before the Final day
"Cut "Mr. Berty said at last "Wow! Bella, I will include your improvisation .Am so proud of you. My mother will be so happy to see that ."then patting Bella on the head, he ordered the background change for the last and final scene to take place.
Jake looked so fabulous in that black leather jacket and black pants that Bella had problem in controlling her emotions .
She thought he was really supporting and warm like Taylor was to Kristen in real life.
No he was even more , than Taylor…how could she have been so foolish not to recognize the true love that was staring in her face all the time.
Jacob was the sweetest, kindest, most handsome and sensitive guy in the whole world Bella thought as she saw Jacob enacting on stage while he waited for her cue .
Everyone had ooh aahed about Robert. Oh wow handsome he looked, blah blah and Kristen went with the flow to maintain her popularity not really understanding she wanted him truly or not. She was also blinded by his dazzling glamour and looks like she had been with Edward.
The films of Taylor slowly become a hit along with Kristen's. They moved in together after Robert was engaged to a county singer.
They were happy until when one fine day Robert comes knocking on the door. He had come to beg her to give him a chance, but Kristen, who had become famous, politely refused him to be with him.
As Robert was going out of Kris life and her porch, Taylor came behind with a book in his one hand and hugged her closely. He gave her a cute kiss on the forehead with a shit eating grin.
"Cut "said Mr. Berty breaking the make believe atmosphere." Brilliant work everybody, Edward and Jacob, you both acted well but I have to say Bella acting's was mind blowing." and he went away to cheer the others .
The play had taught Bella one thing, love yourself and don't hurt anyone else feelings if you can help it.
Especially their self esteem should not be sacrificed , for loving someone unconditionally and looking after your good .
Jake has been hurt badly by her self martyr ways. The karma is surely to come back and hit your butt when you least expect it.
She decided that she would leave Edward after the play was enacted finally .
Bella had finally seen now; it's not healthy invest in a relationship so much where she's the only one adjusting all the time and the giving all the time .She decided to slowly put distance between her Edward hoping he will get the hint and leave her .
She had enough of belittling herself was she enough for him like Kristen always had to hear Robert is too good, he might stray which coupled with her fear of assumed career downfall , Unwittingly that led her to do wrong actions and made her to stray .
While she was going out of the hall toward her truck came and said "I knew I made the right choice .A jeweller knows real worth of a diamond and your acting is awesome, my dear. You can think of taking up acting as a profession ."She blushed as she felt Jacob sliding his arms on her shoulder and wished him.
"Thank you, sir. I just followed your advice.."Bella said but was cut off by Jake's completing her sentence "Go with the flow as you said, sir" the professor laughed .
He laughingly remarked if he didn't knew Bella and Edward were an item then he would have thought they were dating each other .
Seeing Jake's closeness to her anyone would have thought them as a nice happy going couple. Hearing this Bella's smile went away from her face as Jake just shrugged it away .
Final day
The play was over without a hitch. Jessica played the inquisitive, excited paparazzi to the T .Lauren played herself very well and bitched about Kristen for her affair with the married director
Eric supervised the changes of background and props, according to the script.
Mark and John handled the sounds and light. Tina took a day off from her work as she styled the actors and helped her mom and dad with the celebrations of her grandma's 70 birthday.
The birthday guests were present in Forks town hall and clapped with Charlie and Billy who happily clapped for their children at the end of the play.
The pack too showed their approval by clapping loudly, Sam was shooting daggers at them lest they started hooting here. Even the Cullens were all smiles despite their angel son playing a role of semi ass hole on stage.
"Thank you, honey! You were so awesome .I couldn't believe you improvised it. I am honored, dear" said Mrs. Berty, professors old mother, haltingly while taking Bella's hands in hers.
"It has be a pleasure working on it. Happy birthday once again" Bella said while blushing. She was never used to hearing praises and compliments from others .
She told sad ending about her friend's Christine life and how she twisted a little bit . Hearing her , it further boosted her courage that she has to end things today with Edward finally so all of them can leave in peace and move on their life .
"It was nice! I was having fun having you to myself on the stage" Jacob laughed sitting on Bella's porch steps." Well, it's now back to reality. When will we meet next time? .. These few months have been like a dream to me"Jake said while holding her closely to his chest .
He was cherishing the final moments of closeness with her as he really had to go back to his old way of life.
Patrolling and making Bella see him in the way he saw her or at least leave Edward even if she didn't choose him.
"Well, I broke up with Edward today. You are free to meet me after my college and after your school is over for the day. "Bella said without turning; as Jake froze on hearing this.
She continued "Kristen helped me a lot in understanding where I was going wrong. I love you and if you are willing to have and want me still , then I am all yours" and then dug her face in her hands.
"Really ! This is real. "Jake asked finally at last after a long silence.
"Yes" she squeaked still hiding but turning her face toward Jake to peek at his face.
His fingers gently nudged her chin to look up and face him as he said, "I love Kirsten".
Hearing this Bella, dropped his hands that was holding her face ; she looked shocked,"who is she..."
Jake cut her rant as he kissed her slowly on her cheeks and then her eyes, "Your character on the stage coz she gave me my other half of my soul back" Jake said and then dipped his head down to claim Bella's lips passionately. Bella deepened the kiss as he sucked the nectar of her mouth whose access was finally granted to him with love.
