Hi again.


As soon as the door closed behind me, I let myself be weak with a few tears escaping. Each step that led me away from Edward was grueling and my heart was heavy. Even in hard times, we've never been apart and I've always said I would never leave and I would be by his side always. But things changed. With finding out that Angela was drunk and he loved her at one point, it was too much for me. I wanted to forgive him and move on but I was stuck on his words, stuck with seeing her face every day. It was torture.

Who did I have now? I couldn't trust anyone anymore. As I got in my car and drove, I thought about where to go. I had no close friends except for Angela and she definitely was out. I did have one friend I knew I could count on. We were roommates in college, and he was always there for me, but we haven't spoken for some time and I was not sure he even remembered me. I just hoped I could still count on him.

When I got to work, I steeled myself with having to see her again. With these new revelations, I didn't think I could look at her the same way. It was packed today so I was able to keep busy at all times and didn't let my mind wander to unpleasant thoughts. But it didn't last long until I got a call from Edward. I debated whether to answer or not. At the end, I decided to let it go to voicemail. Then he called again and again. I was pressed to answer but luckily I was too busy.

Two hours later, he started texting me non-stop.

E- Please answer your phone.

E- Bella, please.

E- I'm so sorry, I really am and I promise to spend the rest of my life making it up to you.

E- I need you so much and I know you haven't been gone long but it feels like forever.

E- You promised me forever.

He sounded so sad and I struggled to ignore him but he wouldn't relent. He tried to guilt me.

E- You lied.

E- You promised and you lied.

E- You told me you loved me but you left me.

E- Left me here to die alone.

I finally responded.

B- Sorry doesn't mean anything. I need time. I want to forgive you but you have to let me.

E- Fuck you. I don't need you. I'm sure Angela will keep me company.

Low blow and a big mistake.

I was seeing red and my heart was breaking all over again. I wanted to hit something or someone, wanted to make them feel what I was feeling. My mind started to wander and I imagined all the things Edward and Angela could be doing. It was a mistake. My heart was pounding and my breath was coming in loud gasps.

"Bella?" her voice called.

Ignore her and calm down, my mental voice told me.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Why can't she take a hint?

I acknowledged her. "Get the hell away from me," I hissed.

Her eyes widened. "Are you okay?" she stupidly asked again.

I walked from behind the desk and faced her.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" I asked her.

She opened her mouth to speak but I cut her off.

"How dare you ask me, knowing what you did?" I asked again.

I have been nice to her but she was trying my patience.

"Bella, I'm sorry" she replied.

Everyone is sorry.

Her reply angered and I wanted to slap her so I did. It was loud and everyone turned to stare. She was holding her face eyes filled with tears.

"Don't lie to me. I don't want your apology. It means nothing to me," I said.

We were attracting a lot of attention.

"Is everything okay?" our boss Irina asked, coming over.

I wished they would stop asking me that. Nothing was okay anymore.

"Yes," Angela answered hurriedly.

"No, it's not because she slept with my boyfriend behind my back. Now she's acting like it never happened and it's trying my patience," I replied bluntly.

She had the nerve to look embarrassed and hurt because now, the whole library was staring.

Irina was shocked. "I'm really sorry to hear it but this needs to be settled elsewhere. I would hate to let you both go," she said.

Was this worth my job? Of course not, I loved working here. I loved everything about my job. Angela gasped but I remained calm.

"Fine, as long as I'm not working near her," I replied going back to work.

~TMWM~

The day passed by without incident after that. I was ready to leave and put it behind me. After work, I drove around and ended up there, on the steps of an old friend's building, hoping I was making the right choice. I knocked once and waited with bated breath. The door opened and there stood the second best looking guy I knew. He was surprised and startled to see me here but at least he recognized me.

"Isabelle?"

A move on

Then I can say I'm finally over you

I'm finally over you

I can't wait til' you're gone away

'Cause then I

Can move on

I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness

For once I'm at peace with myself

I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long

I'm movin' on


A/N: So who could this friend be? Angela getting slapped around...

Last one and we will be aiming for posting once a week.
