Chapter Four: Feel Like Death
Bella's POV
I nearly wrecked my car trying to get home but I didn't care, that bastard I couldn't even believe it, I started crying as soon as I had parked in my driveway and saw Jake running over, he opened my door and grabbed my purse before picking me up and carrying me upstairs into my room, I had always loved that this kid had became my brother so many years ago.
Flashback
I was sitting on the couch doing my homework like a good 8 year old girl when Charlie walked into the house with a boy about a year younger then me on his tail named Jake, I had known him from when I was younger and we used to play in the mud. I folded my book closed and looked at him then at Charlie. "Daddy, what's going on? Is Jake here to play?" He shook his head no and pointed upstairs to my room, Jake quickly ran up the stairs into my room and closed the door. "Sweetheart, I need to talk to you and you have to promise to be strong okay?" I nodded after looking back at him. "Sweetie Jacob's dad got in an accident." "Is uncle billy okay? Are we going to go see him?" Dads eyes welled up some before shaking his head no. "No honey, he's in heaven now, so Jake is going to be living with us now?" I understood because my mom had passed away the year before and now I spent my time with my dad and my grandparents. "Okay daddy, so I have a brother now?" He nodded and I smiled some running upstairs to play with Jake and try to cheer him up.
End Flashback
"Bella, what happened? Is dad okay?" I nodded before leaning against his chest. I sighed as I started to talk, "I caught Edward cheating on me." His grip tightened and his breathing became heavy. "I'll kill him." I shook my head no. "That would be to nice, Jake, but I need help, I need to talk to my lawyer and fast." He kissed my forehead. "I'm glad I made him sign that prenup." I tried to smile as I looked up at him my eyes red and poofy. "Jake can you stay here, we can share a room like when you first moved in to our old house." He nodded as I continued, "I'm going to go take a shower and get comfy, can you bring me-" "Booze?" I shook my head no, I wouldn't give Edward the satisfaction of me getting drunk because of him. "No, my phone I need to tell Alice, I need her there with me tomorrow." "You don't think that's kinda weird? I mean your divorcing her brother." I shook my head no as I got up to take a steaming hot shower.
Emmett POV
I heard Bella's car nearly ram into the posts as she drove like a bat outta hell and parked, The next thing I knew I was watching Jacob carry her into the house and her face looked like she had been crying. I wondered what the deal was with her and Jacob anyway, they didn't look related but acted closer then brother and sister.
'I wish I could kiss away those tears, even if she's married, shouldn't her husband be the one to do that for her carry her upstairs make sure she's okay.'
'Hey dipshit you ever think that maybe he's the reason for those tears.'
'God damnit stop talking to yourself Emmett jeez, your going to make people think your crazy.'
I shook my head still thinking about poor Bella and why she was crying, I never really liked Edward the few times I met him with jasper, but he never even mentioned that he was married, if I had someone as beautiful as Bella I would show her off every chance I could get, instead Edward goes bar hopping with me and jasper, Sure jasper is taken but he never even looks at another woman, Ed was always dancing with some girl or flirting at the bar when jasper had left. I shrugged as I got back to work making sure all the mares were fed, Jacob had put me in charge of them for the day and I didn't want to let anyone down, I mean I needed this job and it was such an amazing one to have. After I had finished my chores I went to my room in the bunks and had more dreams about the married woman I could never have.
Bella POV
I grabbed some loose pj pants with a purple leopard print design and a baggy shirt that said I Hate Love. And at this moment right now it was so very true. My head was still angry but my heart wanted to forgive him, even though I know that I couldn't, I'm Bella Swan, Daughter of Chief of Police and ill be damned if I let some cheating bastard back into my life. I was glad that Jake had convinced me to make him sign a prenup, this way he couldn't take the only thing that I care about more then him, My ranch. Jacob had left my phone on my bed and went to grab some of his clothes. I tried to collect myself before I picked up the phone and dialed Alice, I knew this wasn't going to be easy but I was hoping that she would be there for me even though it was her brother. It ringed a few times before she answered. 'Damnit Bella she had a date with Jasper tonight, Awesome not only is your night going to suck but so is hers. I mean I could just not tell her, no she'll know something was up if I'm calling her, FUCK!'
"Hey chickie poo, whats wrong?"
"Alice, its Edward."
"Oh my god, is he okay did something happen?"
"The only thing that happened is me catching him with some girl named Tanya." I heard silence for a few seconds.
"HE IS SO DEAD!"
"Alice calm down please, its fine I just need to ask a favor"
"Oh hell no sis, that's fucking bullshit, I'm going over there right now and chopping off his dick and shoving it down his throat, I will give new definition to the term DEEPTHROAT." I swear I heard jasper gulp before I interrupted her.
"ALICE, listen I need you to come with me to see my lawyer tomorrow, I just don't want to go alone and Jake needs to stay here because of the ranch, but I understand if you don't want too I mean I know he's your brother-"
"And? Yeah Edward is my brother Bella, but no one should ever cheat, especially if your married, Besides even if your divorcing his stupid ass, your still my sister Bella, I love you. And Ill pick you up around 10 okay?" I nodded then mentally smacked myself in the head because she couldn't see me.
"Okay Alice if your sure. I love you and 10 sounds fine, I'm really really sorry for ruining your night."
"Psh its fine, And Yes Isabella Swan, I'm sure, I love you." Click.
I curled up in my bed as Jake opened the door, I knew that he had heard most of my end of the conversation but I didn't care. He came over and kissed my forehead before laying down next to me, After about 10 minutes of crying and him petting my hair telling me it was going to be okay I passed out.
8AM, The Next Morning
I had a voicemail from Edward and I refused to listen to it, So I walked outside in my pajamas and found Jake. He took my phone dialing the password on my voicemail and nearly broke the phone in his hand. After listening to the entire message, he handed it back and I cradled it, slightly glaring at him for nearly breaking my phone. He followed me inside quickly away from everyone else's ear range, I really couldn't deal with anyone else knowing right now.
"Apparently, his lawyer has already arranged for a sit down meeting and he was calling to tell you that your lawyer is waiting on confirmation." I nodded. "I can go Bella, if you really need me too, I'm sure Sam can handle things." "No Jake, I need you here, I really cant afford to post bail for you busting up Edwards face." He smiled at the mere thought of that. "I'm going to go get ready, Alice will be here in a couple of hours, And I need to look strong, even if I feel like death right now." He kissed my forehead before heading back outside as I grabbed a towel from the linen closet and took an hour long shower, to make my puffy eyes look less puffy. I dried my hair and pulled it up into a French twist going to my closet to search for something that would make him regret what he had done, But also attempting to look professional.
After putting on a black corset top, white pencil skirt, some killer peep toe heels, And all onyx jewelry, Alice had arrived and walked upstairs and shoved me into a chair. I was going to let her so my makeup because I knew it would look way better if she did it, After she was done I barely recognized the girl in the mirror and I loved it. Her outfit was very professional but still very Alice, a black leather trimmed jersey skirt, with a peach colored top that looked stunning against her skin tone, along with peach jewelry and misfit ankle boots. After walking down the stairs and seeing fresh coffee in a starbucks cup, I linked arms with Alice and I was off to get divorced. I held back my tears as I climbed into Alice's car and we drove off.
1 Hour Later, Lawyers Office
I had just signed the papers, apparently this was going to be easier then I thought, Edward hung his head after seeing me walk in and I looked relatively smug. Although I was hurting the worst I ever have, I couldn't let him see it, I couldn't give him even the tiniest hope I would go back to him. When the papers were passed over to him, he simply looked at them and threw his pen on the table.
"This is bullshit, I told you it was a mistake Bella, I love you, please don't do this I'll do whatever it takes, Ill quit my job, Ill get a restraining order on Tanya, please I don't care, Just don't do this." I looked at Alice then my lawyer. "Mr. Cullen, We have agreed to everything, You cant touch Bella's ranch and she wont go near your money, cars, Or your loft in the city, Now please just sign the papers." He huffed and just stared at them, now it was Alice's turn. "You listen here 'Brother' you finally made a mistake that you can't fix, You cant pay anyone off on this Edward, You cheated on your wife and your lucky that she isn't taking everything you have because guess what? You broke the pre nuptial agreement when you committed adultery, but Bella unlike yourself actually has a heart. So either sign the damn divorce papers or I swear I'll-" I grabbed her arm as she sat down.
Edward picked up a pen, looking at me once more with those pleading eyes, The same eyes he used on Tanya the day she ratted him out. And I kept my face strong as he signed his name and it was notarized. He nearly ran out of the room as I stood and shook his lawyers hand and saying thank you. I hugged Alice glad that it was over and thankful that she was here, She linked arms with me as we walked into the lobby and low and behold, There was Edward making out with Tanya. I laughed as we passed them.
"He's all yours now honey, Hey Edward I wonder what you would've done if I had torn up the divorce papers like you begged me to do." "Shut up you stupid bitch, He probably signed them first." That's when Alice once again saves the day. "Actually I'm Edwards sister Alice Cullen, I think you've heard of me. Edward begged like a dog to keep Bella with him honey, so have fun trying to keep him out of someone else's pants." Her face turned beet red as she turned towards Edward and started screaming at him, he hung his head low. God maybe he should've been an acting coach. We walked out of the building arms still laced as I noticed a bag in the back. "Alice?" She laughed and threw it out the window into a pile of water.
"I had Jake box up Edwards things most of them I sent to his place but those were his favorite pieces of clothing & sports magazines." She continued to laugh as she drove us back to my house and grabbed another bag out of the trunk. "No if's ands or butts missy, I'm staying here." Evil little pixie.
