Never Again, Chapter 16: Why me?
Twilight? Don't make me laugh. This is obviously my own creation.
Okay, so this is what most people wanted to happen. Not me though. But I'm just the writer XD
Check me out, with my daily updates! Check out my new story, too- She's Mine. Updates will be soon. Its kinda difficult to write, ya know :S
I know you're reading, Lee. Go away.

Alice and Jazz had officially separated. Edward was all moved in. Emmett wasn't speaking to either of us.
"I can't believe you're leaving me here all alone!" He'd wailed. Rosalie coughed subtly. He looked over at her, then back to Edward. "I can't believe you're leaving me to live with a girl!"
Edward rolled his eyes. "We'll see you all the time. You can't cook; you'll be round every mealtime."
"It's not the saaaaaaaaammmmmeee!!" He bawled. A grown man. It was ridiculous.
Now, as I looked around my bedroom, I was kinda regretting it, ever so slightly. Boys were messy.
Edward's crap lay on every available surface, and his clothes scattered my floor. He hadn't even bothered to make the bad after he got up this morning. His CDs were dotted everywhere, and there were a lot of them.
"Urgh!" I growled as I picked through the mess, looking for my jacket. "Edward!"
"What?" he called. He was playing C.O.D with Jazz downstairs. He'd gotten a hell of a lot better since moving in actually.
"Get your ass up here! Now!"
I heard Jazz laugh and mutter some unintelligible sarky remark, probably about how great the single life was, and Edward heave himself up off the couch and up the stairs. Jazz was apparently glad to be single, and now, as he could- and I quote- 'do whatever he wanted when he wanted, now that crazy chick was out of his life', spent every second of his life that he could when he wasn't working/sleeping/eating on that freaking xBox.
"You called?" Edward said, leaning against the doorframe.
I glared. "Get my bedroom tidied up. Now."
"Our bedroom."
I sighed, closed my eyes and counted to ten. "Fine, sweetie. If our bedroom isn't spotless by the time I get back, I will chop your dick off in your sleep. I will then make you watch as I chop it into tiny pieces, boil it for a week, and then make you suck the mush up through a straw." I told him menacingly.
He stood there, blinking at me. Then he chuckled nervously. "You wouldn't," he decided. "You like my dick too much."
"I could live without it." I snapped. "Just get it sorted, right? I'll see you in an hour."
I left the room and walked down the stairs.
"Bella?"
For Christ's sake…"What?"
"I love you."
I sighed. He didn't fight fair. "You too," I called back.
I walked out to the kitchen to get my keys.
"Jesus, Bells, he really likes you," Jazz commented as I walked past the living room towards the front door. Wow, an actual whole coherent sentence.
I smiled to myself. "I know. Isn't it great?"
God, I was so happy. I drove to the supermarket on cloud nine- whatever the hell that means. I wandered through the aisles, throwing various food products and household items into the trolley, humming to myself as I went. Then, as I rounded a corner…
BAM!
Damn my clutzy ways. Damn them to the pits of hell. I watched, horrified, as the other trolley collided with mine, the noise almost deafening.
I looked up red-faced to inspect the damage…
"Bella? Wow, I haven't seen you in forever!"
Jacob Black was standing in front of me grinning. My grin. You've gotta be shitting me. He looked just as glorious as ever, but it was possible that his arms had gotten more muscular, straining his white T-Shirt deliciously.
God, what the hell was wrong with me? This was the guy who used to beat me up! He'd threatened my life! And I had a new boyfriend. Who was currently at home, tidying my bedroom! Eek!
"Uh…yeah. Hi, Jake," I said. "Um…how've you been?"
"Good! Well…" He paused for a second, thinking. "I got a new girlfriend, which is good. I got back into school. But, uh, the tossers down at La Push kicked me out, so I gotta come to your school now."
That was kind of difficult to take in. He had a new girlfriend. He'd gone back to school. He had a new girlfriend. He'd been expelled. He had a new girlfriend. He was coming to Forks High. He had a new girlfriend.
Dear God, he had a new girlfriend.
"Wow. You've …er…you've been busy," I said, nodding my head a little too vigorously. "W-when do you start?"
"Monday," he grinned. "And Leah got transferred with me."
"Leah, being…?"
"My girlfriend."
Oh. Oh. I nodded again. "Well, I guess I'll…see you Monday." I tried to smile genuinely as I pushed my trolley away, but couldn't quite manage it. I wanted to cry.
Why me? I asked myself as I paid for my purchases. Why did karma always come around and bite me on the ass?
Maybe it wasn't karma. Maybe I was just unlucky.
Or maybe, in a previous life, I was a mass rapist and murderer. I was rather perverted…
Whatever the f**k it was, it wasn't funny.
I wondered: would a bullet through my temple kill me, or just leave me with a big mess to clear up? (Copyright S. Meyer :D)
I drove moodily back through town and home, thinking over possible reasons for me and Edward not to come into school on Monday, and preferably never again. The list was pretty short.
Life's a bitch. And then everybody dies.
When was that going to hurry up and happen?
Wow!! Who saw THAT coming? Apart from Sally, Zoé and Lee. :)
Reviews are XTC. Feed the junkie inside me!! :D
