I punched the wall. Out of all the people that Bella could possibly run into…
Security ran into my room and held me down while I thrashed around. Could they not understand how angry I was? Jacob Black was going to take advantage of Bella. There was nothing that they would do to help her. That's the second that I know. I'm the only one who can save the love of my life.

So, those of you who don't read any of the tabloids, there's some history with Jacob and me. We are mortal enemies in the acting world. We had been competing with each other since the beginning of our careers. That was over five years ago.
My first movie had been Where the Sun Shines. It was about a teenage boy who gets trapped in underground caves and has to find any way to survive. Black and I both thought that we would get the lead role; Oliver Pepper.
I won't bore you with all of the details. Jacob and I had auditioned on the same day just one hour apart. We were told that we had to wait two hours after we auditioned so we could find out who got the part. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Carlisle was sitting on the left of me. I looked into his blue eyes and he smiled back at me. I got my unruly strange colored hair from my father. The green eyes are from my mother.
"You can do this, Edward. I know that you're only eighteen, but I'm proud of you."
I was utterly confused.
"How are you proud of me when we don't know if I even have the part?"
He smiled that fatherly smile.
"You're going for your dream, son. We all have set backs. Even with all of yours, you're still going for it," he put his hand on my shoulder, "I couldn't be prouder."
I smiled at my father and then I smelled it. Carlisle's nose wrinkled also and I looked over at the source. The first thing I saw was the long black hair. I was thinking that I was looking at a chick that really needed a shower. Then, I remembered that only guys were in this room. I automatically didn't like the foul-smelling, black haired guy that was staring at me.
"You're Edward Cullen, right?"
I shook my head. I had already discussed with my family that I was going to use my biological surname if I were to make it big. I wanted them to at least have their privacy.
"No, my name's Edward Mason. Do I know you?"
He smiled wickedly and I saw the yellow on his teeth.
"We went to high school together, Eddie boy. We had freshman year together."
I eyed him trying to make a connection.
"Sorry, dude. I don't remember you."
His sickly sweet smile got bigger.
"That's okay, Eddie. My name's Jacob Black," he leaned in close to me, "and I'm going to make sure that you get nowhere. You will not become an actor, Edward."
Now was I utterly confused and quite a bit pissed off.
"How do you propose that you're going to stop me?"
"Oh, I have my ways. Either way, you will not show your face here again."
I heard a door opened and looked to see a tall red-head holding a clipboard.
"We are done with the auditions. We are pleased to announce that Edward Mason has gotten the part of Oliver Pepper."
I smiled while the others groaned or looked at me with a pissed off expression. I looked over at Jacob and saw his expression. If looks could kill…
I acted like I was a lot calmer than I really was. If I were stupid enough to continue struggling they would knock me down a level. I didn't need to be here any longer than I needed to be. I need to protect Bella.
They let go of me and my doctor came in.
"C'mon, Edward. We need to have a talk."

"Alright, Miss Swan. Your contract has been terminated with a lesser amount for you to pay for compensation. I hope you can find something that makes you happy."
I hit the "end" button on my iPhone. Rosalie looked at my smile with confusion.
"They got me out of the contract, Rose. I get to be my own person."
