"What was I thinking? I'll tell what I was thinking, nothing. I was so not thinking when agreed to go to Forks with Jake."
" You got that right."
Doesn't she sound interested in my story.
" Really Angela, that's all you have to say."
" Well, what do you want me say?"
Well, that was kind of harsh of her.
" I don't know, something helpful."
" Sorry sweetie, every time I try to tell you something helpful you just ignore me, so no more good advice from me."
" You suck."
" No Bella, you suck. That's why you are still alone. You really should listen to me more often Bella, I give great advice."
" Angela Please, I really don't want to talk about this again."
" Well then I guess we're done here, I've got to go anyways, Ben and I have another doctor's appointment today, we're going to here the baby's heart beat."
" That's great, I'll talk to you later then, have a great time."
I tired to sound happy for them, but she has been so frustrating and mean lately.
" Bye Bella."
" Bye Angela." I whispered out, but she had already hung up on me.
It's been a week and a half since I went on that terrible trip to Forks with Jake and since I have gotten back, things with Angela have not been all that great.
I know she was mad when I told her that Jake and I would be traveling together, but I didn't expect her to get so upset that she would barley talk to me.
But it was how upset Angela got that confused me. I knew she hated Jake, always had, and always will, but the level of her hatred had increased so much it shocked me.
I would never defend Jake after what he did to me, but the way Angela was acting was, I think just too much.
I felt she was over reacting, but she said I wasn't thinking and that I was making another huge mistake.
Making a huge mistake, who is she to tell me I am making a mistake, I have been living my life just fine for the past 26 years happy and content.
Well, kind of happy and kind of content.
Hell, who am I kidding I'm nowhere near as happy as I could be and everything that has happened over the month has just made it worse.
Wasn't it bad enough that in my momentary lapse in judgment that I agreed to drive to Forks with Jake, but when we got back from Forks, that Tuesday I had a meeting set up with Ben. The week had just went from bad to worse
I didn't want to go threw with the meeting, but I had problem I needed to fix no matter how much I hated the solution.
And of course, Angela found out about the meeting when she decided to show up to Ben's office and surprise him with lunch and her head just about exploded. I have never seen Angela so mad before, especially about things going on in my life.
She said she didn't want to know about the meetings, so I didn't tell her, why she was still acting the way she was when she heard us on the phone was giving me a headache.
But at the same time, I feel like she knows something, but wont tell, like whatever she knows she wants me to figure it out on my own, but I am a grown woman, I don't have the time to play these games.
And whenever I would ask her to stop with the hidden messages and mind games, she would just tell me to think about it and do what I want and need to do.
I think she comes up with a lot of the things she says because she hates Jake, not that I blame her for hating him, but it's not a reason to for her to formulate her advice for me off of how she feels about my ex.
I know she's Team Edward all the way, but I don't know how many ways I can explain to her that this the best decision.
I want Edward to be happy, I really want him to be happy with me, but that is not what he wants, he wants airport slut and if she makes him happy then I'm happy for them.
Every time I would try to explain this to Angela, she would say I'm crazy and that I need to actually go and talk to him.
What the hell was I going to do, track him down, show up at his house confess my undying love and utter devotion to him and then see airport slut waltz down the stair to claim him and the two can laugh at me together. No way.
Then she would tell me I'm thinking too much and that I need to follow my heart and not my head. She kept pushing me towards him, but when I followed my head, I left that hotel room in Vegas and lost something that I could have had forever. When I followed my heart at the airport, Edward and airport slut ripped my heart out and stomped on it.
Either way I lose.
I tried to tell her I was crazy by imaging that Edward could possibly feel the same, I was reading into nothing and imaging things because I so desperately wanted to believe that we could actually have what I have been dreaming of for the past ten years. Not only was I imagining things, but also I was still pretty damn hung-over the next day.
She called me crazy and then said I still needed to talk to him.
Even if I could bring myself to go to him and embarrass myself, I have no idea where he lives, when I explained that to Angela, she explained that Forks High has website where you could find out where former students live at, but I still cant, I just cant.
Things happened and choices were made, but I have to live with them so if things don't go the way I want them to, that's my own problem. I don't need someone telling me how to run my life.
You can't always have what you want and I'm learning that now.
If I mess up and end up unhappy that is for me to deal with, but I refuse to bring Edward down with me.
My decision is final and when it happens and everything is finalized, Edward will be free of me and be able to live his life happily, and that's all I could ever want and need in my life is for Edward to be happy.

"I'm sorry Edward, I'm trying I really am, but she is being so damn frustrating. She thinks I'm only telling her these things because I don't like Jake and I never have. She keeps accusing me of keeping something from her. I don't know how much more I can say without fully giving up that I have been talking to you and that you are madly in love with her."
I was on the phone with Angela after her last failed conversation with Bella.
Maybe it would be just easier for her to tell Bella how I feel, but that would make me seem like a crazy stalker that tracked her and her friends down, and, well I already tried the plan for Angela to do the dirty work for me, Angela wont say anything regarding feeling to either one of us.
Even if the plan to get Angela to tell Bella how I feel worked the possible reaction that could come from Bella didn't really work in my favor.
After I overheard Jake's conversation and all the disgusting things he had to say about my Bella, I knew I needed a plan to save her from him, but everything I came up with did make me look like a crazy stocker, and that is not the way you want to come across to your wife when your trying to get her to fall in love with you.
"Angela can you please try one more time, please for me, as her best friend I know you can get through to her, I really need your help."
" I'm sorry Edward; I just can't keep doing it. It hurts every time she dismisses my ideas or advice, it's like she doesn't believe her best friend and that hurts. I have told her and you everything I can, but the two of you need to grow up and handle this on your own. I can't keep going between the two of you, this so messed up and it's stressing me out, I can't handle it anymore and the stress is not god for my baby."
"Your right Angela, I should not have gotten you involved, it wasn't fair of me to put you in the middle, thanks for what little help you did provide." I tired to sound polite, but I knew it didn't come out that way.
"Hey don't take your anger and lack of balls out on me. If you would just grow a pair and go talk to her like a real man you wouldn't be in this situation."
DING DONG, DING
"Someone's at my door, Bye Angela."
I didn't even wait for her response I just hung up my phone as I walked over to the door.
I really did know it wasn't fair to put her in the middle, but I already tried the whole go to her thing, that's the whole reason why I needed the plan to begin with.
And if I went back to her house, I didn't want to risk seeing Jake again. I knew the chances of seeing him again were slim; I just didn't want to risk it.
When I made it to the door and opened, it there was a man wearing a suit looking very formal.
Shit, I knew it.
"Hello."
"Hello, are you Edward Cullen?"
"Yes I am."
"Sir, these are for you, all the information you need is on the inside, and I will just need you to sigh on the line here to indicate that you did receive all the paperwork."
I just signed. I had a feeling things would be going this way; I already knew what was inside the giant envelope that was handed to me.
Ever since Angela told me that Bella went to go see Ben, I had been expecting the paper to show up soon.
"Thank you very much mister Cullen, have a great afternoon."
I didn't answer him back I just slammed the door in his face and threw the envelope onto the floor.
What the hell was that mans problem, have a great afternoon, how in the hell am I suppose to have a great afternoon when annulment papers just showed up at my house.
This was so not going the way I had planned for it to go.
The plan was simple, find Angela, tell her my side of the story, get Angela to get Bella to stay away from Jake and then use Angela for information so I can make my wife fall in love with me. It all sounded good in theory, but I was so not expecting things to go down the way they did.
Finding Angela again was easy; I just used the Forks High Website. Then I contacted her and was able to tell her my side of the story, which was also easy to do. Angela had no problem trying to keep Bella away from Jake, she hated him almost as much as I did, and then when I told her what he had said her hatred just increased, but the plan was already failing when Bella decided to go to Forks with Jake anyway. But it was a small bump in the road; I could over come this obstacle.
From what little information Angela had told me, the trip was horrible for Bella and it only got worse for her when they actually made into Forks. I felt bad for her, but really did she think the trip with Jake was going to be a good idea?
I thought that getting information from Angela would be easy, but she wouldn't tell me anything. All she ever said was that if I wanted to know how Bella felt than I would have to go and see her myself.
How Angela expected me to go see Bella and tell her that I love her, always had and always will, was beyond me. But once I found out that Bella had contacted Ben, Angela's husband, to discuss our Annulment I knew I couldn't go to her because I would just beg her to give us a chance and I would make a huge ass out of myself, so I tried to get Angela to help, and well, she wouldn't.
I love Bella and would do anything for her, but to go to her, put myself on the line, and then have her say that she didn't want me was going to be too much.
I have no idea what to do now, Angela won't help me, and my brother's have no idea what to do to help and my Mom and Alice are just sad that I cant fix this and wont let them get involved. Alice and My mom want to help, but I would never want to scare Bella away before I even had the chance to have her forever. That would be just stupid.
Grr, this all sucks.
And now I'm asking animal noises, great, can things any weirder for me.
I want her to be happy more than I want myself to happy, so I'll show up to the damn meeting and give her what she wants, and hopefully she will make the right to choices to stay away from Jake, but what she does or doesn't do is her choice.
I'll give her what she want so she will be happy, I want her to be happy no matter how much it hurts that I'm not the one giving her the happiness.
My plan failed, but as long as she is happy, then I succeeded in some way.
So next chapter will be on Sunday or Monday, I'm almost done with school so I'm busy with studying for finals, so if I'm a little late, I;m sorry, but I wont leave you hanging.
So lets keep the Cullen Brothers Happy and Review! =)
