All of this belongs to Stephanie Meyers.
BPOV for all of this.
It's been delayed, I'm sorry. Blame packing and real life. Uploading may not be as consistent as before but I promise to upload at least once a week ad after a couple months we#ll be back on track.
Maybe reviews will urge me on I don't know….
Lol enough of me, time to get back to Bella .
Cliché
Chapter 9
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realise what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Wonderwall by Oasis played softly in the background, enhancing the already cliché, cinematic environment. "Could you be anymore cheesy, Edward?" I complained, half-heartedly, enjoying the song. He responded by turning the volume up. I couldn't see him, as I was staring into the cloudy sky, but I could feel he was smiling my favourite crooked smile.
It was mid-February but, being Forks, it was still chilly. My long, curly hair spread out as I laid on a blanket we brought to cover the now brittle grass of the beautiful meadow we found during a hiking trip some time before. He sat up, acting as the DJ as we sat in comfortable silence, as usual. Over about seven months, Edward and I became close friends as I would call it. We knew almost everything about each other over late-night phone calls, and lunch 'dates'. Well, everything I could tell him anyway. I still wouldn't let myself become vulnerable towards him and spill my insides. Because what if he didn't want to be around me anymore? He, for some reason, liked my company and I couldn't pass that up. This was the only friendship I made, besides Alice, in Forks. I knew why he liked me and no-one else really. He thought everyone else here was transparent. Little did he know the thing that makes me so 'different' was what would make me horrible.
"We should start getting back. The clouds look like it's about to rain." He warned me in his velvety voice. I looked up at the grey clouds and scrunched my nose. I still had not become accustomed to the weather of Forks. Edward replied with a beautiful snort as we started to fold the big woven, blanket together. Oh he was beautiful- even in this bland, grey weather he managed to glow. I still couldn't comprehend why he would want to even breathe the same air as someone like I. After about three months of me vocalising my concerns, he started getting mad so I just decided not to ever let the wall down, so if it was a cruel joke, he couldn't have anything against me.
The car ride was quiet, but comfortable. Debussy played softly in the background. I could feel the electricity of his Celadon green eyes (It took me two hours on Google to find the shade that fitted them most.) every couple of minutes. The shiny Volvo parked in front of my house just as Alice Cullen came, more like danced, out of the front door, talking excitedly. She was followed by a calmer frame, Jasper. They started dating on Christmas day. Alice actually asked him to be her boyfriend, saying she was the best present he could get as a joke although, he believed it seriously. "Hey Bella!" Alice greeted me happily. She ran towards me and suddenly, I felt two small arms attempting to wrap around my massive waist. I held her back in response, succeeding in wrapping my arms around her.
"Alice it's been like 4 hours."
"I know I just love you." She shrugged nonchalantly. She raised her long eyebrows in excitement, remembering something "I'm organising the Spring dance!" She exclaimed. In the time I spent with Alice Cullen, I learnt she loved fashion, makeup, hair, nails and anything feminine. Even though I wasn't into those stuff, we still meshed well and we were 'best friends' as she'd put it. "And you're going!" She said it as if it was good news. Ha. I opened my mouth to protest. "Renee already gave me permission to drug you if you said no so you're going, darling." She smirked as I frowned. Edward blew his horn loudly before the demon continued and smiled impishly when she turned to glare at him, still looking angelic. "Bye, Bella." She stomped towards the Volvo and got in, slamming the door.
Hell hath no fury like Alice scorned
I walked to Jasper, shaking my head while smiling. We talked about our days to each other while walking into the living room. My mother was sitting on a couch while watching the news. The smell of cookies was in the air and I walked to the kitchen, following my senses, to find two batches of cookies neatly set out. "Don't you dare!" My mom shouted from the living room as I was about to take a bite of a chocolate-chip piece of heaven. "They're for Rosalie and Emmett's housewarming party." she explained, still shouting. Rosalie recently moved in with Emmett, her boyfriend. Coincidentally, he was Edward's football coach as well. Emmett seemed scary but handsome when I first met him. He was tall, standing at 6'5, burly and had dark brown, nearly black, curly hair. But, once he opened his mouth, the tough exterior vanished. He had deep dimples which gave him a childish look, despite everything else and piercing blue eyes that always had a twinkle and looked like he was always going to make a joke, which was probably due to the fact that he always had some sort of joke for every situation.
I went upstairs, trudging at the thought of waiting for the cookies as Jazz and Mum laughed.
You didn't even need the cookies. Have you looked in the mirror lately?
I listened to the harsh voice in my head and looked in the mirror. Sure, I lost a few pounds after all the hiking with the Cullens, but, I was still heavy. I sighed and took an algebra book to do some homework. The time passed quickly and before I knew it, I fell into deep sleep on my Bean chair.
I woke up before my alarm the next morning. My bland, brown eyes sought out to find my phone and check the time. 5:37.
Great
Knowing I wouldn't feel as energetic if I slept the extra couple of hours, I took my phone and scrolled through my social media platforms. My profile picture was the same for all of them, a group picture we all took at Alice's birthday. It was easier because I didn't seem as heavy, and if the viewer didn't know me, they'd think I was Rosalie or Alice and not heavy ol' me. After half an hour on keeping up with social media world, I decided to get ready for school.
Within an hour, I was driving my rusty, orange Chevy truck ,that I bought for myself with pocket money I saved, to school. Usually, Edward and Alice pick Jasper and I up, but today I was anxious to go to school for some reason.
Maybe the gods have decided to make you smart
I pulled up, managing to acquire a good parking space, being one of the first to arrive. I noticed Lauren's white Lexus parked with a few other cars.
I sat at a bench outside for about 10 minutes and after that, strolled lazily to my locker as I heard cars parking, with intentions of taking the books for my first lessons. I saw Edward standing at my locker and I was about to say 'Hi' to him, but he started looking from side to side, suspiciously, still not seeing me. He then twisted my locker combination, rapidly as if it was his and took a folded sheet of paper from the locker and crumbled it. I decided that that was the cue for me to ask him what the fuck he was doing. "Edward, what is that?" He heaved his shoulders and turned around with sad, bright eyes that were tragically beautiful.
"I didn't want you to find out." He murmured, his green eyes smouldering. I snatched the crumbled piece of paper and opened it quickly and read it aloud as if I knew what was coming.
Hey, Bella- I hope you don't eat this paper. It can get recycled.
While you throw it in the trash you can put your fat ass in there as well. I take that back- no-one wanted you once, let alone twice. Fat whore. Oh wait- you can't be a whore can you? You're filthy piece of scum and no-one would want you in any way. Well here's another reminder that no-one will love your obese self and you're wasting space on this Earth. A lot of space.
Kill yourself. No-one will miss you, Fatty.
My voice cracked at the end. I didn't even bother to look up at him as I ran to the bathroom. I heard him calling my name, but his voice faded, as did everything. I just heard my heart beating and felt a thin sheet of sweat cover my forehead. The rest of the moisture was caused by my tears. I sat down on the tiled floor, detached from the Earth. But an angel brought me back. His cold hands held me on the girls' bathroom floor. I didn't even know what reality was as I fell asleep in his hard, cold arms.
