Bella's POV
So after class that weird kid from my first class still wouldn't stop looking at me, it was making me feel uncomfortable. When class was excused Rose and I made our way out only to be stopped by him. He grabbed my wrist and leaned against the wall."Hey you're the new kid Bella right." I rolled my eyes.
"way to state the obvious." I said and removed my wrist from his grip.
"Right, well I'm James and I'm obligated to take a new student out on a date." I laughed.
"Well good luck with that." I said and looked at Rose so we can walk away.
"Oh come on. Just one date." "no thanks. If you haven't seen the news, I'm married." I laughed at the sentence, it just sounded so funny since Assward should be getting the divorce papers soon.
"Don't tell me your taking him back." he was still following.
"Not at all, but what makes you think that after something like that I'd bounce right up and just take any guys offer. Look I don't know you and well it's not like I can go. If you've seen the news, you must have seen my brother, you don't want to ask him to let me go out on a date. Have a nice day." Rose and I kept walking with out stopping.
"So persistent, doesn't know when to quit." Rose said laughing.
"Yeah whatever, anyways. Where's your next class?"
"At the 400s. I'll see you later." I nodded and gave her a goodbye hug before I left too. I had science in 521 with Emmett. I walked into class and saw the table's were two seated, Emmett was at the back already saving a seat for me. I walked up to the teacher and he asked for me to take a seat wherever I wanted too. I sat down next to Emmett expecting for class to start and the teacher take over but instead he walked out because he was called to the office. Everyone started talking and they all kept on looking at us, it was getting irritated. The girl in front of me turned around and smiled.
"Hi I'm Angela Weber, Welcome to Lexington." I like her."Hi Angela. I'm Bella and my twin brother Emmett."
"Hey ang." I rolled my eyes at Emmett.
"Excuse him, he has a tendency to make up nick names.""No it's fine." she smiled at the two of us.
"So how come the teachers out?" Em asked.
"Well there was a fight in his class the other day, he was called up to talk to the parents." I nodded.
"How's New York so far?" she asked us.
"We haven't had time to enjoy it yet. We just got here." I told her.
"Right. We'll you should go ice skating here, it's fun."
"I think I'd fall."
"Yeah she really would" Emmett said laughing.
"Shut up you big bear." I stuck my tongue at him.
"Bear?" Angela asked.
"His as big as a bear but soft as a teddy bear." She laughed with me.
"That's not true Bells. Did you see how I left that hubby of yours." He ginned making me frown.
"Opps." he said and gave me an apologetic look.
"It's fine Em." I looked away at the people around us and they were all paying attention to our conversation.
"Is everyone always this nosey?" I asked her, I knew people heard I really didn't care.
"Well your new, fresh meat for some guys, competition to other girls." I laughed.
"Wow."
"Hey Angela. Want to introduce me to your friends." Said a blonde male, he had a baby face with blue eyes.
"Hey Mike. Bella, Emmett, this is Mike Newton." I gave him a weak smile and Emmett only nodded.
"So Bella are you going to the dance?" he asked.
"Dance?"
"Were having a dance before prom." Angela said.
"Oh, well probably not." I said with a shrug.
"If you change your mind, you should find me if you need a date."
"Sorry kid, she ain't dating." Emmett said giving him a dirty look. I could see Mike look uncomfortable now.
"Yeah okay then." and he left.
"Well it's begun." Angela said.
"What?" I asked.
"Mike was the first from the boys who will try to talk to you and get you to agree on the dance.""to bad." I said with a shrug."So Bella who's older?" she asked.
"Me." I said with a smirk.
"Shut up Isabella." Emmett huffed.
"Isabella?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, Isabella Marie Swan." she smiled.
"that's a very pretty name.""Thank you."
"So there's this party going on, Jessica's brother Mario is throwing it, his pretty cool and he knows a lot of people, you two should come and bring the others. Maybe you'll meet more people that way." I looked over at Emmett asking for permission.
"Sure Angela, we'll be there." Emmett answered for me. I smiled and grabbed Angela's number.
"Call me on Friday, I'll tell you where it's at." I nodded and noticed the bell had just rung, huh! No teacher. I shrugged and left for my next class.
Gym and history went by like a flash. I walked towards the tables that Leah had asked us to meet her by. I saw all the boys there and Jake, at least he was there. I also saw a new guy I haven't meet yet. I walked up to them and stood by Jake.
"Where's Leah?" I asked him."She'll be here in a little bit." I nodded.
"Hey Sam, this is Leah's step sister Bella." he jumped off the table and walked over to me.
"So you're the famous Bella Seth, Leah, and Jake keep on talking about. Well Bella welcome to the group." I smiled and gave him a hug."Thanks. I think I already approve of you as Leah's boyfriend." I joked.
"Good to know." He smiled. I saw Leah walk next to Rose who were laughing.
"Sam this is my best friend Rose and my brother's girlfriend."
"Nice to meet you Rose." Sam said shaking her hand.
"You too." Rose said. Now we were only missing Seth and Emmett. But I saw them coming. I was about to introduce them when my phone rang.
"Excuse me." I said before I walked a few steps away to answer. It was from my dad's lawyer.
"Hello Bella speaking.""Bella. This is Aro. I have bad news." uh. Oh.
"Well I guess you should just say them.""Edward won't agree on a divorce.""WHAT?" I yelled.
"I called him to tell him he should be expecting a package soon and that he'll need to send them back. He said he wasn't agreeing with no such thing.""Your kidding. Isn't there a way out of this.""There's only one. As long as you two don't have sex for 6 months you can get your divorce he likes it or not.""Dam it. Aro, can't we negotiate something.""I'll try and see what I can do but so far your only option is the 6 months.""Ughh. Ass hole. Thanks. Call me if you can do something." I hung up the phone and squeezed it in my hand. I wanted to break it, I was pissed.
"Bella what's going on?" Jake asked.
"Assward. Fucken Assward." I slammed the phone on the ground making it break into pieces."Isabella." Emmett yelled.
"He won't agree Emmett. The only way out is 6 moths later. I can't wait 6 months. It's to long." I yelled. Dam it, dam Edward to hell.
"What do you mean he won't agree?" Rose asked.
"He won't sign the papers. He says there's no way his gong to sign them. Aro's trying to negotiate something. Something that will set me free from the idiot."
"Bella relax, your not going to do anything by getting mad." Leah said giving me a hug.
"I need to go. I need to get out of here." I moved from Leah's embrace and walked towards my car.
"Bella wait I'll go with you." Emmett said.
"No, stay with Rose. I won't do anything stupid I promise." he sighed and nodded.
"I'll go with her." Jake said and followed me. I didn't bother to argue, I kind of did need a shoulder to cry on, because that's exactly what I wanted to do right now, cry. I was about to get in the car when he stopped me.
"Your not driving. Not in your condition."
"okay." I whispered and handed him my keys. He opened the door to the passengers seat and went to take the drivers seat. Once we were inside, he took off and I finally let the tears out.
"I use to be stronger then this. I never cried before Edward. Why do I have to start now." I was mostly talking to myself, annoyed with myself that I would even let a boy get to me like this.
"Bella you're a girl. Your learning from your mistakes, everyone goes through a heart break."
"Dam it Jacob. I'm Isabella Marie Swan. I don't cry over guys, I don't even let them in, because they all want to get me laid, so I skip the love step and let them right in to my pants." I yelled. I was crying harder now, and it was hurting. I felt Jacob grip my hand, not letting go like if he did I would fall of a cliff. I saw we were getting close to a house.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"My place." it was nice, and big too. There was a gate and the guard opened it when he saw Jake driving. When we got out I saw Jake throw the keys at the driver and told him to park it inside. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me inside. He lead me up stairs to a room, when we were inside I saw we were in his room.
"I brought you here so you could see my favorite place in this house. I come here and relax a lot." He opened the doors to a balcony, the view was beautiful. You could see the maids in the back taking care of the flowers, then there was a lake, the dogs playing, the sky looked clear, it was amazing. I sat down on the floor letting my feet hang.
"You know your really beautiful." Jake said sitting next to me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Jake stop." I felt like he was trying to hit on me.
"I know Bella. It's to early, but when I saw you even with your red eye's I couldn't help it, I felt this connection to you. I know it's early and I know you probably don't trust anyone right now. But Bella I can help." I let the tears slip again.
"No Jake I can't hurt you like that. You'll only be a rebound."
"Bella I won't I promise I can win you over. I'll make you forget Edward." It was so tempting and he was really sweet.
"I…No..I mean…no." I stuttered, I didn't know what to think or say."Bella just give me a chance. We don't have to be a couple, and we don't have to go on date's yet. We'll go on your paste all I ask is for you to let me in. let me be there."….Blank!….
"I don't know Jake. I don't want to hurt you.""It's my choice Bella, I'm the one risking it. You've warned me." he had a point.
"Okay. But if it gets to be to much just quit." I told him.
"I won't." He kissed my lips lightly, taking me by surprise. It wasn't bad, but I didn't know what to say to that, I only looked outside. I didn't say anything, I only let myself feel; his finger intertwined with mine, his free arm around my shoulder, his warmth and his eyes gazing on me.
"you can't tell anyone, you know that right." I told him
"What? Why?" he asked looking into my eyes.
"You won't come out alive if my brother finds out. Rose will murder you in your sleep, Leah won't be happy, and well Seth… I don't know. And I don't want to get you mixed up with the press, they'll only harass you and make your life a living hell." we stayed quite for a few more minutes and then I heard Jake's voice break our silence.
"We will, for now." I didn't say anything, I didn't get the chance. His phone rang and he answered.
"It's Emmett.""tell him I fell asleep and you brought me over to your place." he nodded and answered the phone.
"Hey man what's up." he whispered almost making me laugh.
"Yeah she's fine. She's sleeping."…." I brought her over to my place."…." I understand but she just cried her self to sleep."…."Yeah sure."…."Well as long as she doesn't make damages."…"bye."
"What happen?" I asked.
"There going to hotwire my car after school so they can bring it back." I laughed. Rose.
"Don't worry she won't damage anything. She's really good with cars." he gave me a weak smile.
"Talking about sleeping mind if I sleep?" I asked him. He picked me up into his arms and laid me on his bed next to him.
"Just sleep Bells. I'll be right here when you wake up." I nodded and closed my eyes letting myself drift into sleep. I felt him against my back, holding me tight, scared that I'll disappear. I was okay with it, Jacob Black was becoming my glue…and I wasn't sure if that was good.
"Bella. Come on Jelly Belly, time to wake up. We need to get you home." I heard Emmett's voice and a bit of a shake on my arm.
"Carry me?" I asked raising my hands up to wrap them around his neck. He laughed but picked me up and I buried my face in his chest wanting to go back to sleep. I felt a soft warm small hand stroke my hair.
"Hey Bells. You feeling any better?" it was Rose.
"Mhm." I didn't eve actually agree or disagree. I just wanted to sleep.
"Okay. Well I don't speak mumbling so I'll take that as a yes. Now let's get you home.""Bye Bella." I heard Jake. I looked over Emmett's shoulder and saw him sitting on the steps waving goodbye to me. I gave him a weak smile and waved a bye. Rose drove us home, Emmett just didn't want to let go of me. When we got home, dad told me he was gong to get me out of this. I knew he would, he was my dad after all, and I can see how much it hurts him for me to suffer like this.
Later that night a got a call from Alice, or Alice's phone."Hello." I answered.
"Hey look please don't hang up. There's something I want to tell you." I chocked on my breath, it was Edward again.
"you still there?" he asked.
'yeah." was my only response.
'I got a call from your lawyer and just like I told him, I'm telling you. There's no way I'm giving you a divorce."
'why. Can't you just let me live my life. Dam it Edward, I'm happy here, do you have to ruin everything."
"Bella I'm sorry I hurt you, I wasn't doing it on purpose, Rene just kissed me, it took me by surprise. I know that doesn't make any difference but Bella I truly believe we can work through this. Give me second chance Bella. Please, I can make this work."
"No…I can't Edward. I don't trust you anymore. I'm healing now, Jake's helping me heal Edward, just please give me back my freedom with out it being forced."
"What do you mean Jake is helping you heal, and with out it being forced?""Jake, his helping me get through this. It doesn't hurt as much when his around, his the glue that holds me together. And as for being forced…well since we haven't had sex after our marriage, I have to wait 6 months and no matter if you agree or not, we're permanently divorced." I didn't let him argue, I didn't let him say anything at all, I just hung up on him.
The rest of the week went by quickly. I made more friends like Austin, Milo, Sunny, Summer, Danny, and Emily. The Edward thing didn't get better, he still won't sign. Today was Friday, the day Angela asked Emmett and I if we'd go to the party. Of course everyone knows Jake's my date but in a not romance way, or so they though. I wasn't into the whole kissing him yet, but I did let him wrap his arms around me, or hold my hand, everyone though it was normal, like he was just my best friend. Rose had gotten me ready, with Leah's help of course and I didn't even protest. The party was fun and enjoy able, Jake was letting me drink and he was taking care of me, but then it got a little to dangerous. Jake left me sitting by the stairs -where there wasn't many people around-, he went to get the keys to his car and my house so we could leave, but I felt someone next to me.
"Hey babe, what is a pretty thing like you doing all alone." It was that James kid.
"Waiting for Jake." I stuttered to say.
"Ditch the kid and I'll show you how to have fun with a real man." I tried to stand up but instead fell back down on my butt.
"Wow there Bella. Watch what your doing, you could hurt your self." he said putting his hands on my hips.
"Fuck off James." I stood up and made sure I didn't fall off this time. I started to walk away but he stopped me and put his arm around my waist.
"Let's get out of here.""Ew, no." I slapped his arm away and saw Jake coming my way.
"Jake." I called him and he looked over at me, I mouthed at him 'help' and he saw why.
"Sorry Bella, I couldn't find Emmett, he was in a little corner, with umm…you know…Rose." I laughed at his blush and grabbed his hand.
"Let's go home, I'm tired." I told him but was stopped by James.
"Bella I though we were leaving together.""In what sick universe do you think she would ever go with you." Jake said putting himself between me and James.
"Jakey look here, your little boys aren't here to bust you out. Why don't you go run along and leave Bella to me." he just made Jake really mad.
"Jakey? Look James, I have really short tempore, so fuck off." he pushed James and pushed me towards the door.
"Jake I feel dizzy." I laughed. I could see him roll his eyes and then up I went, on to his arms.
"Jake, your strong boy." I giggled.
"Bella relax, your to drunk. Now stop squirming and let me take you to the car." I don't remember much after that, I kind of passed out…I think.
