Okay so first I want to apologize SO much for procrastinating. Just I've been really depressed and busy lately with school and homework and stuff like that. I promise you this chapter will be SUPER long and amazing. I love you all and thank you for the reviews. If any suggestions or complaints about my story or whatever, e-mail me at
Cheers,
Fiona
The ball commenced as Jasper pulled Alice away from my side. Alice smirked and wave frantically at me before she disappeared into the crowd. I walked over to the hor de'vourers and picked up a chocolate filled canole with a glass of red wine. I sat down, for my feet were killing me. I glanced across the gorgeous hall and looked at all the couples. The hall's walls were painted a gold color, and the theme seemed to be 'classy, yet fun.' There were red streamers hung across the ceiling with black curtains on each window. The couples were all beautiful, too. One couple stood out the most to me. I could see the back of the man and all of the woman. The woman I recognized as Tanya, her hair was up in a classic bun with curls streaming down the side of her head. Her dress looked like it was made of the finest silks. It was white and quite tight fitting to her body, and it went to her mid-thigh. She began a full blown make out with the guy. The man picked her up and turned around to carry her up to, where I assumed, was the hotel rooms. Suddenly, a pang of jealousy ran through my veins as I realized the man carrying her was Edward. I sighed and decided I needed a smoke. My high-heeled shoes made a very loud clanking noise on the sidewalk, attracting much unwanted attention. I walked to the nearest gas station and walked, if you could call trying not to trip while still keep a steady pace walking, up to the cashier. I pointed at the pack of cigarettes I wanted and he handed them to me. He was obviously checking me out, but I knew I would never give him the time of day. I got fed up with these death-machines on my feet and took them off. I threw them into the nearest trash bin roughly, I was still upset over the whole Edward ordeal. The sound my feet made as they padded against the bathroom floor in the hall was quiet. I opened the door and relief rushed through me as I saw no one was in here. Silence surrounded me, I could no longer hear the sound of the music from the hall. I took a cancer-stick out of the pack and lit it up with the candle sitting in the corner of this luxurious bathroom. I drew in a large puff and slowly blew it out, counting to ten. I looked up around the large stall to see the writing on the walls. My eyes scanned over it, laughing a little at a few humorous things that was written on the wall. Then I realized it was meant to be there, as it was nothing dirty said, but the paint etched into the stall, as a kind of design. A great idea quirked into my head. I took my pocket knife out of my purse and decided I'd add a little something for myself. A familiar song came into mind.
Far away, I feel your beating heart
All alone, beneath the crystal stars
Staring into space, what a lonely face
I'll try to find my place with you
chorus
What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
My beautiful love, my beautiful love
Larger than the moon, my love for you
Worlds collide as heaven pulls us through
The secret of the world is written in the stars
I'm carrying your heart in mine
chorus
What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
My beautiful love
Maybe a greater thing will happen
Maybe all will see
Maybe our love will catch like fire
As it burns through me
3x
chorus
What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
2x
My beautiful love
La la la la love
La la la la love
My beautiful
La la la la love
La la la la love
My beautiful love
- The Afters
I smiled as I finished. I put out my cigarette in the toilet and flushed it. I pulled out another ciggerate to light it in a candle, but someone walked in.
"You know your not supposed to smoke in here." a woman employee smiled and pulled out a cig of her own.
"So what's your ordeal?" I asked.
"What are you talking about?" she asked shocked that I knew she was distraught about.
"Well, your an employee and your smoking in a non-smoking bathroom, when you could obviously be fired." I said, stating the obvious.
"Alright. So anyways, I work with this guy named Ben. It's totally unofficial, but we're kinda dating. But we can't be dating because co-workers aren't supposed to date. So my boss needs to totally stop being a giant dick-wad." she said and laughed.
"I like your attitude. Name's Bella. What's yours?" I said and grinned.
"My name's Angela. Tell me. What's your issue?" she spoke up louder and leaned back on the bathroom-lobby couch.
"Well, I have this best friend named Alice. She has this gorgeous brother, whom I loved since like forever. But we hate each other, or at least he hates me. Then he started playing mind games with me. Calling me beautiful randomly when they came to pick me up for this ball thing. Then I'm sitting in one of the chairs and I see him making out with Tanya and carrying her into the hotel room where there obviously... gonna... you know... do it." I said and swallowed a little too hard.
"You a virgin?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, I know it sounds kind of cheesey, but I'm saving myself for marriage." I looked down and blush.
"I have to say the same." we high-fived and smiled.
I sighed and looked at the time. I had to get back before Alice noticed I was gone. We exchanged numbers and headed back to where we needed to be. My head was down so it startled me when I ran into someone.
"Sorry..." I mumbled and looked up.
Tanya was standing there with a used condom in her hand, with her hands on her hips.
"Bitch, move. Please, you will never get Edward. He's mine. Now quit trying to get in his pants." she said and slapped me in the face.
I couldn't take anymore of this. I ran into the room Alice rented me to stay at for the night. The second I ran into the bathroom, I punched the mirror so hard it smashed. There was a bottle of Alice's sleep medicine, for appearances obviously, on the counter. I downed eight of the pills and laid down in the bath tub. I heard someone come into the room, but my muscles wouldn't move. I heard Tonya's voice, and I felt something wrap around my body, something sticky like duct tape. My body was lifted out of the tub and into something cold hard, my body was slammed down, but the sleeping pills numbed my body. Soon enough, I slipped into the much wanted unconsciousness.
