Broken
Chapter 6:
Club
Bella, and Anthony continued watch cartoons for about in hour until Rose came charging in, demanding change.
"Alright, I'm sick and tired of seeing my Best Friend walking around moping all day long!" Rose shouted, and Bella flinched. Had she really bothered Rose that much?
"Oh, I'm sorry…we can stay somewhere else if you'd like." Bella offered, and Rose frowned while shaking her head.
"No, Bella! That's not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is that we should have a girl's night out tomorrow night. I work early, and you don't work so everything will be alright." Rose said happily, and I bit my lip.
"Yeah, I know…but what about Anthony?" I asked in a "duh" voice, and Rose laughed.
"Oh silly Bella, already taken care of. I called Jasper and he agreed to watch him tomorrow night. He misses his favorite nephew yah know." Rose told me and I smiled.
"Yeah, tell him I'm sorry about that. Just with everything going on with Edward, and my job letting me go, I guess it just crossed my mind." I apologized, and rose smiled while sitting down on the couch next to me.
"Bella, he knows that. I hope you don't mind, but I told her what's going on." She whispered so Anthony couldn't hear. Even if she spoke louder, he wouldn't notice. He was too interested in his cartoons.
"It's alright rose. He was going to find out sooner or later anyways." I mumbled, and Rose brought me into a bone-crushing hug. I groaned, but hugged her back. I rested my head on her shoulder and sighed.
"I'm so sorry Bella. Out of all people, you don't deserve this." She whispered, and I felt my eyes water as my heart stung.
"I want to believe that but lately I feel like I deserve it. Like I was a terrible wife and mother. Maybe I was." I whispered, and Rose pulled away glaring at me.
"Isabella Swan! You are not a terrible mother, and you were not a terrible wife. Edward is just a moron. He's too blind to see what's right in front of him. He had the gold but went for the bronze…and that's his problem. So never doubt yourself Bella. Your amazing." Rose complimented, and I felt a tear fall and my lip quiver.
"Thanks Rose. I love you." I told her, and I saw her eyes water a little bit. She pulled me into another bone crushing hug, and I laughed.
"Aw, I love you too Bella. I'm happy you're in my life." She whispered, and I nodded into her neck. I loved Rose. So much.
I adjust Anthony shirt, and carefully parted his hair to the side. I was getting him ready to go to Jasper's house. Jasper was Rose's twin brother. He has short choppy blonde hair. The color was similar to Rose's. He always had pale skin, but his was a little more tan Rose. He has sparkling blue eyes, and a nice smile, mostly because he's obsessed with hygiene, and be a gentleman. He really was a keeper, but he was nowhere near my type. I love Jasper like a brother, nothing more, nothing less.
"Moommmy! You detting pit in my hair!" Anthony complained, and I giggled.
"Sorry little man, but you have to look nice for Uncle Jasper. He hasn't seen you in weeks. You don't want him to think you're a slob do you?" I asked, and his eyes widened.
"No! Uncle Dasper is my favorite!" he screamed, and I laughed.
"What about uncle Emmett?" I asked with a confused expression and he looked like he was thinking about it.
"Oh yeah. I forgotted bout him. Uh…they're both my favorite!" he said enthusiastically and I laughed.
"Alright, come on, I'll help you put on your shoes." I told him, grabbing his hand and pulling him into the living room. Anthony sighed as he plopped down on the brown lazy boy. I chuckled as I grabbed a pair of his socks, and began putting them on. Afterwards I then slipped on his gray vans. They didn't have shoe ties, but they did have Velcro straps because Anthony couldn't tie yet.
"All done." I announced, slapping his shoe and standing up from where I was sitting. Anthony gladly thanked me, and I smiled at him. He looked so adorable! He was wearing a baby boy T-shirt with a red top, and white bottom. It was matched with a pair of Peek 'Maya' skinny jeans that Rose had bought him for Christmas last year.
"Mommy? Can I have juice?" Anthony asked sweetly, and I smiled.
"Of course baby. Hold on." I told him as I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the apple juice from the refrigerator. Afterwards I poured some into a sippy cup and twisted the top tightly so it didn't leak. I then put the juice back into the fridge, and walked into the living room.
"Here yah go Sugar." I said sweetly, and Anthony gladly began sucking away on his cup. I chuckled. Anthony was big enough to drink out of a regular cup but he did spill a lot, and he liked sippy cups better.
"Dank you." Anthony mumbled between sips, and I ruffled his hair. I then stretched my arms and walked into the bedroom to take a shower.
After I scrubbed my hair, and my body I slipped out and wrapped my towel around my waist. I sighed as I opened the bathroom door, and the steam escaped. I quickly checked on Anthony and saw that Rose had came back from work already. She was sitting on the couch with Anthony on her lap. He was still drinking his juice, and his eyes glued to the TV. It was adorable! I wish I had a camera, but I had left it at the house. The same house Anthony was made, and born in. my heart stung and the tears threaten to spill but I would not let them! You've cried over Edward for too long Bella. Get. Over. Him!
But I can't. I've loved him for too long.
I took a deep breath and walked to my dresser, pulling out a plain white T-shirt, a pair of blue shorts, and a pair of lingerie. I quickly got dressed, and then threw my towel into the laundry basket for dirty clothes. I then grabbed my brush, and began brushing my hair slowly when I heard the doorbell ring and the cheers from Anthony in the living room. That only meant one thing…Jaspers here.
I walked out into the living, and saw that jasper was hugging Anthony tightly as he was giggling. I smiled, and Jasper looked at me. The look in his eyes said it all. He was sorry.
Jasper then put Anthony done and whispered something to him. He nodded frantically and ran away somewhere. I chuckled and looked at Jasper once again. He was well shaved but his hair had grown a little longer since I last seen him.
"Hey Bells." he whispered, pulling me into a hug. I hugged him back and took in his scent. He smelt like after-shave, and Axe. Typical Jasper.
"Hey Jazzy." I whispered before pulling away. He gave me a pitiful look as he took a deep breath.
"I heard what happened." He said awkwardly, and I nodded.
"Yeah, what about it?" I asked casually, and he shrugged.
"I don't know. It's a big deal. He hurt you Bella, and not only that he's hurting Anthony." He told me, and I bit my lip to prevent crying.
"I know Jazzy. He hurt me. Bad. I know its hurting Anthony not seeing his father, but I don't know if I can do it. It's too hard to see, or even think about him!" I stressed out, and sighed while rubbing his face with his hands.
"I know its hard Bella, but Anthony deserves to get to know his father. I know he already had the chance these past five years of his life, but you can't prevent Edward from seeing him grow up. That child is adorable bells. If I was his father I would die just to talk to him." Jasper stressed out, and my eyes began watering.
"I know Jazzy. I was planning on working something out with Edward, but I'm trying to think of what to say. The words rather don't come up, or they do come up like word vomit." I told him, and he nodded.
"I know Bells. I love you, and I just don't want to see you hurt again. Your like a sister to me." He said lovingly, and the tears began falling.
"Aw Jazzy. I love you, brother." I said happily before pulling him into a bear hug. Jasper laughed and hugged me back.
"I know Bella, and I don't want you getting hurt but I think you need to talk to Edward about all this. I'm not telling you to forgive him right away or for all for that matter, but I think you should talk. If you don't Anthony will end up having to switch schools, and you'll need to find a job. I don't want you having that much to deal with right now." jasper whispered, and I nodded into his shoulder.
"Alright. I'll talk to him. Just give me time to think of what to say." I whispered.
"You don't have too Bella. I'm just telling you it'd be fair to Edward, and Anthony. Even though Edward doesn't deserve anything from you," he told me, pulling away from the hug. I sighed.
"I know I don't, but I want to. We have to discuss things." I told him, and he nodded. I then heard the sounds of Anthony's footsteps from behind me.
"I got some dhings!" Anthony announced while holding up his superman backpack. Anthony was obsessed with cartoons, and superheroes
"Way to go munchkin! Ready to spend a night at my house?" jasper said enthusiastically.
"Yeah! Can we stay up late, and watch dartoons?" Anthony asked, and I chuckled.
"Not too late." I said sternly, and Anthony rolled his eyes.
"Of course we can buddy. I even have a surprise for you when we get there." Jasper whispered, and I eyeballed him hard. Jasper chuckled.
"Relax Bells, nothing bad or too expensive." Jasper promised, and I smiled.
"Alright." I agreed.
"Cool! What is it? Tell me, tell me, and tell me!" Anthony demanded, and I chuckled.
"Then it wouldn't be a surprise. You'll see when we get their buddy." Jasper promised before grabbed his backpack, and picking Anthony up from his feet and holding him close.
"Alright Bella, we're leaving." He told me and I nodded.
"Okay. Don't let him eat too much junk food, and he's allergic to nuts. Please call and check in." I rambled, and jasper chuckled.
"Bella. Relax. You can trust me. I know everything he's allergic too, and all his allergies. Relax." He told me, and I nodded.
"Okay." I nodded, and jasper turned around to leave but not before we heard Rose's voice.
"Jasper Hale! Don't you dare think you're leaving before saying Hi to your twin." Rose said stern, and Jasper groaned.
"Of course not." Jasper told her before pulling her into a half hug, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey Jazzy." She whispered.
"Hey." He replied.
"Ewe! You're going to get cooties." Anthony shouted, and I laughed.
"They're siblings Anthony. Mothers, fathers, siblings, and any family don't count." I told him and kissed him on the face.
"Oh." he mumbled, and we all laughed together.
"So Jasper, how are you doing?" Rose asked sweetly, and he shrugged.
"Alright. Works the same, but I might get a promotion." He said with a smile.
"That's great. If anybody deserves it, its you." she said with a smile, and he thanked her.
"Thanks Rose."
"Your welcome brother. Anyways, not trying to be a B-I-T-C-H, but you needs to leave so we can get ready for girls night out." Rose said happily, spelling out the word bitch so Anthony wouldn't understand. He didn't have a clue.
"Alright, alright. We're leaving." He sighed in defeat, and rose laughed.
"Good, keep him as long as you like." She told him, and he nodded.
"In that case, I might just keep him." he said jokingly, and I widened my eyes dramatically.
"What? No! I'll miss my sugar booger!" I said dramatically while hugging Anthony tightly. They both laughed.
"Fine. Just for you though." Jasper told me, kissing me on the head.
"Alright. Bye Jasper, see yah later baby." I told Anthony, kissing him.
"Bye-bye momma."
"Bye Batman." Rose told Anthony, hugging him.
"Bye Auntie Rose." He replied, and Jasper finally left. I sighed as I closed the door from behind him.
"He's a cute kid. Too bad he looks like him." Rose told me, and I nodded.
"Yeah, he's adorable and great, but it hurts me to look at him everyday. He just reminds me so much of Edward it hurts." I whispered.
"I understand. I'm there if you ever need me." She told me, and I nodded.
"Thanks."
"Bella, can I please do you makeup?" rose gushed, and I groaned.
"No, it always takes so long!" I complained, and she shook her head.
"I promise it won't. I will keep it simply, however you want." She promised, and bit my lip.
"I don't know." I mumbled.
"Please Bella. Please?" she asked with those puppy dog eyes, and I cursed to myself. I always say yes to those eyes.
"Fine." I groaned, and she squealed.
"Yay! Thanks Bella! Now, sit down." She demanded, pushing me in the chair. I landed with a thud on the spinney chair in her bedroom.
"Geeze." I mumbled, and she laughed while getting her makeup ready.
"All right, what color dress are you wearing?" she asked.
"Black." I told her, and she smiled.
"Perfect! Goes perfect with your skin tone, eye color, and the mood of the club. I'm wearing black as well." She told me and I nodded.
"Hey, rose…what about the Alice girl? Is she coming?" I asked, and she smiled while pulling out many dark eye shadows.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I invited her, and she said yes! I can't wait for you to meet her. We talked a lot this morning, and she seems great. She loves modeling, designing, shopping, make up…" she trailed on and I chuckled.
"Rose, that's everything you like." I told her and she shrugged.
"So? You like me, I like those things, and so you'll like Alice." She told me and I chuckled.
"Good point."
"Alright, I'm going to give you a creamy eye look with a mixture of gray, black, brown and light silver eye shadow that will make your eyes stand out. After, I'm going to put on some black liquid eyeliner, and mascara. Then some light pink lip gloss to make you lips look kissable." She told me, and I nodded.
"Rose, its not like I'm going to make out with somebody there. It doesn't matter if my lips look "kissable." I told her, and she laughed.
"Oh silly Bella. It does matter. Besides, its just in case." She assured me, and I sighed in defeat.
"Fine." I mumbled.
"Rose are you don't yet?" I complained.
"Nope, I'm doing you hair now." she told me, and I groaned.
"Rose! I only said my makeup!" I complained, and she laughed.
"Yeah, but your hair has to match your makeup or you'll look ridiculous!" she said, making a big deal and I mumbled some un-lady like things. Rose must of hurt me because she smacked my head with the brush.
"OWE!" I screamed.
"Oh shush you big baby. Anthony complains less than you…and he's five!" she told me, and I sighed. Whatever.
"Fine! But nothing too fancy." I demanded.
"Kay." She said happily before messing with my hair.
About twenty minutes later she was finally done.
"All done!" she announced, and I sighed.
"Finally!"
"Do you love it?" she asked happily. I looked in the mirror and gasped. The woman in the mirror was not Isabella Swan. The woman in the mirror was beautiful. Her makeup was dark, but make her eyes stand out. Her lips were pink, but looked so soft, and her hair. It was perfect! It was straightened, and looked flawless. Her bangs were cut where they were straight about her eyes in a straight line. It made her skin look pale, and delicate.
"Aw rose! I love it! Thank you so much!" I gushed, pulling her into a hug. She laughed,
"Your welcome. Now, get dressed, I gotta get ready!" she said frantically, and I laughed while walking into the bedroom room and let Anthony and I stay in.
I walked over to the closet, and pulled out the tight, short Rare London Mesh Tube dress Rose had designed for me a few years back. I never actually wore it yet, but I've been meaning too. I just never really got out much.
I carefully slipped out of my clothes, trying to not mess up my hair and make up. I set my dress on the bed carefully before walking over to the dresser and pulling out a blue lace strapless bra, and a matching thong.
I then slipped out of the lingerie I was wearing before, and put on the blue lace. After that I carefully slipped on my dress. It didn't have a zipper, it just slips right on. It was also strapless. Which I liked.
It was a tight fit, and I liked it. I watched over to the full-length mirror, and gasped. I looked…beautiful. The dress complimented my curves nicely, and made my boobs look amazing! I loved it.
I smiled and walked over to the closet where Rose held extra shoes she let's me wear when I need too. I didn't bring any that would match.
I looked through the shoes, and found no flats. Typical Rose.
I finally settled on a pair of Fonda Black Jewel Suede Open Toe Heels. They were black, and about two inches tall. I can actually walk in heels, but I liked not too because my feet get blisters and they hurt when I'm working. Since I'm not working anymore, who gives a damn?
I smiled as I slipped them on, and walked into Rose's room. Her hair, and makeup was finished, and she was dress in a black Halston Heritage black dress that showed off all her curves. It hung on my shoulder, and made her skin look nice. Her makeup was dark with black eye shadow, eyeliner, and matching mascara. She was also wearing light pink lip stick which made her lips pop! Her legs were complimented nicely with a pair of Yves Saint Laurent plant form pumps. They looked about two, and one half inches high. Dang.
Her hair was also curly, and flowed down to her breasts. Her bangs were pinned back with a diamond pin. She looked amazing!
"Rose you great!" I compliment, and she smiled but when she looked at me she gasped.
"Oh my god Bella! You so HOT! If I was a guy, I'd so do you," she told me and I blushed.
"Don't go lesbian on me Rose." I said sternly, joking. She laughed.
"Nah, I won't. I like boys too much." She said stinking out her tongue. I laughed.
"Alright, who's driving?" I asked.
"Neither. We're going to take a cab because if we get too drunk we don't want to have an accident. Alice is meeting us there." She told me and I nodded.
"Alright, I'll call." She nodded and I dialed the cab's number on her home phone.
After we ordered a cab we fixed ourselves in the mirror when we heard a car horn. That was fast!
I quickly grabbed my ID, money, and cell phone and stuck them in my bra. I checked to see if you could notice, but you couldn't.
Rose grabbed my hand and pulled me along to the cab. The cab driver looked so creepy.
"Where too lady?" he asked flirting.
"The club Eclipse on 3rd." Rose answered, and he nodded.
"You girls look great by the way." He complimented. I would normally blush, but I'm creeped out.
"Thanks." We mumbled.
Once we arrived, I gulped. There were many people in sluty outfits, and looked very intoxicated. There was a huge line, and a giant bouncer. He was scary, and bigger than Emmett.
"Rose, this line is huge! We can go another time." I told her and she shook her head.
"Nonsense Bella. Watch." She demanded, pulling me along to the front of the line. The bouncer looked at us for a second, and let us inside. My eyes widened as rose pulled me inside.
"How did you do that?" I asked curiously as the loud music surrounded us.
"If you look great, you can get into anywhere!" she shouted, and I nodded. Rose was looking around for somebody. Probably Alice.
"There's Alice!" she shouted, pointed to a small petite woman by the bar. She was wearing a Rare London Bugle Bead Trim One Sleeve Dress, and a pair of peep toe stiletto heels. She had short, choppy that that was straight, but curled out at the end.
Rose pulled me towards her, and I chuckled. When we got closer, I saw her facial features, and she was beautiful. She was wearing pink eye shadow with black eyeliner, and mascara along we bright red lipstick. She was so pretty.
"Alice, this is Bella, Bella this is Alice." Rose introduced, and I stuck my hand out. Alice stared at it like I had twenty fingers before pulling me into a bear hug. I groaned.
"Oh my god! I heard so much about you! You're even prettier than I imagined!" she complimented before pulling away. I blushed.
"Me? Pretty? Yeah, right." I said sarcastically. Alice chuckled.
"See? Told you." rose mumbled, and I looked at her confused.
"Rose told me you didn't know how pretty you were. I didn't believe her till now." Alice told me, and I bit of my lip.
"Oh." I mumbled.
"I can tell we're going to be great friends." Alice told me, and I smiled.
"Yeah, me too. You look great by the way." I complimented, and she smiled.
"Thanks! Shall we get drinks?" she asked, and we nodded. Alice, and rose stood while I sat on a stool, and crossed my legs.
"Three shots of Jack." Alice told the bartender, and he nodded. My eyes widened.
"No, no, no. I'm not good with tequila." I told her, and she frowned.
"Nonsense." Alice told me as the bartender set the shots in front of us. Alice thanked them and then downed it along with rose. I just sat there staring at it.
"Come on Bella! Don't be a pansy!" rose shouted, and I frowned.
"No, I'll have a coke please." I told the bartender, and he nodded.
"Fine, be a party pooper. Wanna dance?" Alice asked, and I shook my head.
"No, thanks but in these heels, I'll break somebody's foot." I told her and she laughed before dragging Rose along with her. The bartender set my coke in front of me with a wink. I shivered before taking a sip and chewing a piece of ice.
I was actually enjoying the music until I heard his voice.
"Bella?" I heard behind me and I froze. I slowly looked behind me, and looked into two bright emerald eyes.
Edward.
He was wearing a blue button down dress shirt, and a pair of jeans along with a pair of black converse, and his Rolex watch. He looked hot.
"Hi." I whispered before looking at my drink again. I heard the stool next to me drag across the ground. I breathed in Edwards's scent and my heart stung. I missed him.
"Why are you here? Clubs are really your thing." Edward asked, and I shrugged.
"I don't know. I thought sluts weren't your thing, but I guess I was wrong." I growled, and Edward flinched.
"I'm sorry but Bella…we need to talk about things sooner or later. I miss Anthony." He told me, and I clenched my fists.
"Well you never thought about him before! What makes now so different?" I shouted, and Edward looked down.
"I don't know. I know I fucked up Bella, but I miss you. I miss your touch, your smell, you voice, your everything." He whispered, and I sighed.
"I find that hard to believe." I mumbled, and his head shot up.
"Hard to believe? You find it hard to believe that I love you? God are you stupid?" Edward shouted, and I flinched. His eyes softened.
"Yes I do Edward, and maybe I am stupid. I mean, I married you." I told him rudely, and he looked hurt.
"I miss you," he whispered, pulling me into a hug. I froze before hugging him back, and resting my head on his shoulder.
"I miss you too Edward, so does Anthony." I whispered.
"Please come home." He whispered, and I felt a tear fall. I pulled away, and wiped it away. I wanted to come home. I missed him.
"I'll come home, but I'm staying in the guest bedroom." I told him, and he looked pained.
"It's a start." He whispered, and I nodded. Before sipping my coke. Then I heard that voice. That voice I hated so much.
"Eddie!" Lauren Mallory screeched. I spit out my coke when I heard her voice.
"Lauren." Edward whispered. I looked at her, and she glared me before rubbing Edward's shoulder slowly.
"Eddie, your were suppose to meet me by the door, what happened?" she asked, and Edward's eyes widened as he looked at me.
"Yeah, Eddie. What happened?" I asked through my teeth, and he looked scared.
"Bella, I…" he started, but I interrupted.
"Save it." I told him before standing up, and downing my tequila that was still there. It felt good down my through.
"I'll leave you too alone. Looks like you have business to take care off." I told him and began leaving but whispered in his ear.
"I was going to come home, but now…I realized that I'm the second choice." I whispered before walking off to the dance floor.
Edward was a jerk.
Dang, that chapter was sad, and long! Please review? Outfits on profile.
