My Dark Angel

Chapter 14

Unexpected Surprises

TGIF. Thank God it was Friday. I was ecstatic. After the rough night with Jacob, I could really use a break and hang out with Jessica and Angela. They would surely get my mind off of this drama that I was going through. Though it wasn't really drama, just a difficult conflict that would crush someone's heart if I wasn't careful, it was just a decision that could change my life for better or for worse. Certainly no big deal, I thought to myself and scoffed at the idea while shoving a pillow over my face from my bed. I was completely frustrated.

I slowly got out of bed and prepared myself for the sure to be crazy day. I dreaded first period with Jacob, but I couldn't wait for lunch and Biology where I would see Edward. He filled my heart with joy and love; I couldn't wait to see his beautiful face and his crooked smile.

After I finished dressing and getting ready, I walked downstairs and was welcomed by a bad smell in the kitchen and Charlie and Renee fanning the oven.

"What happened?" I asked chuckling while fanning in front of my face. There was a whirlwind of smoke rising from the oven.

"Aw damn it." Renee said as she pulled out what looked like a charcoal egg casserole. "I tried to make breakfast this morning."

"I see," I said, trying to hold back a smile.

"I told her it was a bad idea." Charlie chided while helping Renee.

"We're still eating it; we will not let this food go to waste." Renee said sternly.

Charlie and I both looked at each other and gulped.

"Um actually mom, I'm not that hungry, and I'm running late for school." I lied; I actually had a lot of time to spare. I had a good 30 minutes before I needed to be at school.

"Yeah Renee, I'm not hungry either. I had a big dinner last night." Charlie added on, trying to get himself out of the situation.

"Oh put a lid on it Charlie, you are eating this with me." She said, and Charlie moaned like he was about to die, throwing his head in the air like he just finished a 5K. I couldn't hold my smile in anymore after that.

Renee made Charlie sit at the table as I gathered my belongings to leave so I'd be saved from having to eat the less desirable unmentionables. As I began to walk out of the house, I looked back and saw Renee slap a big heap of burnt egg casserole onto a plate right in front of Charlie.

"Bye mom, bye dad," I called as I watched.

"Bye dear! Have a good day!" Renee called after me while Charlie glared at me in jealousy.

He looked panicked, and I could have sworn a line of sweat was beginning to accumulate in front of him.

"Dig in," I heard Renee say as I began to walk out of the house, "you will eat every last bite."

I began to laugh and then tripped over my own feet and fell into the driveway.

"Ouch," I said as I scraped the palm of my hands on the dry concrete. Wait a minute... dry concrete.

I looked up at the sky and around the street. It was sunny, barely any clouds in the sky, and the birds were chirping. It was a beautiful day out, a very big and unexpected surprise. I took a deep breath and basked in the sun for a few seconds, filling my lungs with the warm sweet air and letting my skin be kissed with the sunbeams.

The weather instantly made me chirper as I got up and carefully walked to my truck. Hopefully today was going to be a good day.

I began to drive to school, then looked at the radio and remembered I was going to be 30 minutes ahead of schedule. Which meant that by the time I would get to school, I would have around 15 minutes to do nothing.

I decided to drive slowly to knock a minute or two off of my nothing time. It didn't do much, but at least I wasn't going to be 15 minutes early, instead I would be 14.

I pulled into the parking lot and into my usual spot. I saw Jacob leaning against his old Rabbit next to it.

He was waiting for me, looking at me with a stricken face. I felt bad for last night, I treated him unfairly, but he definitely treated me the same way back. He was out of line, but I certainly played a part in the unreasonable argument.

I parked the truck and slowly opened the door. Jacob helped and reached out a hand for me to exit the vehicle. I took it, climbed out, then looked at him, waiting to hear what was only assumed to be an apology.

"Bella, I am so sorry for last night. I really didn't mean to get all mad like that."

"You know Jake; you can't just get mad over stupid things."

"If I do recall, you got mad over it too, before I did."

"Jake, what did you expect, that when Paul said those things that I was going to be all dandy and okay with it? No!"

"I know I know, but you didn't have to go off like that and rush into the woods. We could have seriously been lost."

"You didn't have to follow me," I said, folding my arms. His face looked even more stricken.

"And what, leave you alone in the woods where you would have gotten lost all by yourself? We would have had to gather a search team for you Bella. Who knows what could have happened. With your ability to attract danger, something really bad could have happened to you."

"It's not like I can't find my way out of the woods." I said grumpily.

"Well last night you couldn't." Jacob sneered and I scoffed back at him.

"I'm sorry I'm not an expert woodsman that knows my way around everything." I snorted sharply.

Instead of saying some kind of comeback, Jacob looked at me for a second then began to laugh. He burst out laughing, uncontrollably. What had I said?

"What...? What's so funny?" I asked annoyed.

"Just what you said," he exclaimed, still chuckling.

"How was that funny?" I asked nudging at him for an answer.

"It just was….woodsman…" He roared loudly again with his contagious laugh. I began to giggle a little bit, but nothing near to the extent that he was. I was annoyed but I playfully slapped his arm and told him to stop laughing. He slowed down a bit, and then controlled himself. We were silent for a few minutes, then Jacob began to speak.

"I really am sorry though Bells. Do you forgive me?" He begged, looking at me with his puppy expression.

"I suppose." I said smiling, drawing out the words as I said them.

"Good," he said then reached for me and pulled me in for a tight hug.

"Do you still love me?" he asked while still holding me close.

"Of course I do Jake." I honestly did love him still. I couldn't just throw 12 years of love down the drain. He has been in my heart forever; there will always be a place for him there. But it just won't be as big as the place Edward has, it just wasn't the same anymore.

Jacob has always had my heart, ever since I've known him it felt like he filled it up completely. But once my dark angel came, it felt like there was a whole space that had never been filled that was now being covered. There was an emptiness I never knew I even had, but my dark angel filled it up. And when he left, he took everything. That once filled spot became a gaping hole that was now noticeable and definitely painful. Jacob still had his spot, but it couldn't stand a chance compared to the other one. And his little spot, though still very important, could not stand a chance in repairing the newly empty hole made by my true love.

I never noticed the absence before until I had lost what I once had. The absence of him is everywhere, and I can never escape it, unless I am with Edward. When Edward came into my life, he was like the healer of hearts and souls. He was beginning to repair the hole that had been left from my dark angel. Every part that he repaired, transformed into his own spot, like it always strangely belonged to him. He didn't make his own hole because for some reason he just turned my dark angel's hole into his own. It was like that spot had always been his. I couldn't understand it.

But there Edward was, repairing my heart and healing it as if it had never been hurt in the first place. If Jacob was trying to repair me, I would be somewhat healed. I would have scars, and nicks all over the place. I would never be perfectly fixed and everyone would forever see that I had once been badly hurt. But with Edward, I am perfectly healed in the places he's fixed so far. He's slowly taking over that giant area in my heart and he's rebuilding it perfectly, making it look like there had never been a hole in the first place. With Edward, I am new again, and I am whole.

"Good, because I love you," Jacob said and he lifted my face and gave me a strong kiss. I hadn't kissed him in a while and it seemed like forever. We had been so distant lately that kissing wasn't even on our minds. Fixing what was going on was the only thing he probably thought about, that, the pain, and Edward was all I ever thought about.

Before I knew it, the whole parking lost was filled with students. Everyone was here and they were all headed to their first period classes.

"You ready to go Bells?" Jacob asked me, holding my hand. I nodded then looked frantically for Edward's car. It wasn't here. He wasn't parked in his normal spot, he wasn't even parked. His car was missing. Where the hell is he?

I hoped to God that Edward was on his way to school. I needed him today; I needed to see him before the girl's night and the weekend. I needed Edward.

Jacob and I kept walking; I stopped searching for Edward, giving up in my hopeless pursuit. I gave in to my fears of his absence and then walked with Jacob to our first period.

We went to our normal seats and dropped our stuff next to our feet. Angela was already there, sitting next to Ben as usual.

"Hey Bella." She said cheerfully, obviously excited about later today.

"Hey Ang," I replied to her greeting.

"You excited about tonight?" she asked, playing a smile on her face.

"Yeah I really am, are we still going to see that movie?" I asked her, remembering how Edward didn't want me to see it.

"Yeah most likely. I tried talking Jess out of it, but she won't budge. She's dead set on seeing it." Angela rolled her eyes but laughed. I laughed too.

"It's so hard changing her mind once she's decided on something."

"Yeah, that's so true." As Angela finished her sentence, the intercom came on and announcements for upcoming school events began to come on. I never paid attention to them, but once a giant roar came through the classroom, I decided to pay attention.

"…So come out next month and get your boogie on. Prom will be at 8 and will end at 12. Enjoy the ball, and don't be too late on asking that special someone as your date."

The intercom turned off and everyone began to gossip. Prom, dancing, no. There was a for sure no for me, everyone knows I hate to dance, and everyone knows that I can't dance. I promised myself I would never go to prom, it was an absurd idea and I was never really fond of school functions anyways.

Angela began talking to Ben about prom and then turned back to me.

"Bella are you going this year?" she looked at me expectantly.

"No….I don't…it's just….no." I said, stuttering out to get an answer.

"You should think about it, prom is so much fun." She smiled at me with encouragement.

"Yeah Bella, prom." Jacob added grinning. I turned to him and gave him a chiding expression.

"Jake, you know my answer. You know I won't go." I simply stated. His face fell a little. I hope he didn't take it personally, he of all people should know my distaste for prom and dancing.

"Jake, you know I would say no to anyone. I wouldn't go with anyone." He gave me a half smile and I kissed him softly on the cheek.

"You should still think about it Bella," Angela added in. "It really is a lot of fun."

I didn't reply, I just smiled at Angela then turned around. That was about it for first period. A few thumb wars with Jacob here and there and some rock paper scissors contests, all of which I beat Jacob at, except thumb war. It was a good day, until the bell rang and the anxiety of Edward possibly not being here returned.

I had one more class before I would find out if Edward was actually here or not. All I had was math with Jess until the inevitable would happen.

Jacob and I left Lit together hand in hand. He kissed my cheek and scooted me off to math with Jessica. She waited for me in the class like usual, smiling like crazy and overly excited. If I hadn't known any better, I could have sworn the girl had ADD or something. She always had way too much energy.

"Bella! Are you excited for tonight?" she exuberantly asked.

"Yeah, I can't wait!" I said, trying to mimic her excitement and failing.

"We are going to have so much fun! And the movie! It looks so good!" She said.

"Yeah, I bet," I was actually beginning to have a bad feeling about the movie she wanted us to see. 'Two Is a Party, Three Is a Crowd," the name even had my stomach turning. It was a romantic film, and the title didn't seem very promising. Was it a love triangle? Because the three's a crowd most certainly implied that possibility. I really hoped that it wasn't that kind of movie. I didn't know if I could sit through something like that. It would be unbearable since my life is basically a love triangle in itself.

I have the love I've ever known, Jacob, and now I have the love I never knew I could ever have or ever want, Edward. It was an excruciating problem knowing that whatever action I made, I was going to hurt someone I loved.

"So right after school, we are all going to meet at Angela's house. We will hang out there for a little bit until we are ready to go to the movie. Then after that we can do whatever."

"Okay, sounds good." I replied.

For the remainder of the period, all I could think about was if Edward was here or not and about the movie. Why did Edward not want me to see that movie? And how did he already know about it? It was a nice feeling though, having him protect me like he was and caring. The thought was strange, but in a way it was like he knew something bad might possibly happen. But I wasn't for certain, I had to wait and find out for myself in a few hours.

Math ended and I said goodbye to Jess. I fretfully walked to the cafeteria where I awaited the news on whether or not Edward was here.

I saw Ben and Angela already eating at the table. I sat down with them and looked around. There was no site of him.

"Hey, have you seen Edward at all today?" I asked both of them.

They looked at each other then shook their heads.

"No sorry," they both said in unison. Damn.

Well maybe he's just skipping lunch, I thought to myself, but if he's just skipping, why isn't Renesmee here either?

I had to face the facts, Edward wasn't here today, and my heart sank at the realization. He was what I looked forward to every day, and he wasn't here. I still wanted to deny it, to believe that he would just randomly show up behind me and greet me, or be waiting for me in Biology when I got there, but I knew deep down that he wasn't here today. I was 90% sure where he was; I only wished that he wasn't.

I remembered the conversation I had with him the first time he missed a day of school, telling me why he had not been there…

"So where were you today? You're obviously not sick," I gestured to his healthy appearance. Edward chuckled and nodded.

"I went on a hike with my father today. We haven't hiked in a while, and today was such a rare and beautiful day that he decided I could stay home from school and explore the woods of Forks, Washington with him."

I only assumed that Edward was hiking with his family again. It seemed that every sunny day they would do such a thing. They were a close family, and I loved how they interacted with one another. But I forever hated the sun now that it meant Edward would disappear whenever it came along. I would rather be in a cold, wet, dreary town with Edward all my life then to be in a warm, sunny, healthy town with no Edward for a day. Because when Edward was here, he made me feel warm, he made my world sunny, and he made me healthy. He was my antidote, my medicine for a bad day. He could cure the incurable for all I knew, he could do anything. And without him, even the sunniest and warmest of days would feel like cold, wet, dreary pits of darkness. Even the happiest of places would be the saddest of worlds. Edward fixed everything, and without him I would be lost.

Lunch ended and I walked to biology, still grasping on the tiny bit of hope that Edward would be sitting in his normal seat waiting for me.

I turned into the room and looked up. I was greeted by no one. He wasn't there.

Today I would be alone in Biology, studying and working by myself. I would not be bothered by anyone, allowing my mind to wander and enter the places I tried so desperately to bar myself from. There was no escape once I was alone, no place to leave for solitude. I was left to face my fears and conflicts. I was left to fight my everyday battles and struggle to survive, without losing my sanity.

I sat down in my lab seat and opened my book. The last thing I wanted was for the pain to come back, it had been so minimal lately because of Edward that I barely even noticed it anymore.

I read and read and read. Today was a day to work on our science fair projects with our partner. My partner wasn't here, so it was a day of doing nothing, how ironic. I read my science book, filling my mind with theories of logic and alien creatures, anything to keep my mind off his absence and everything else that came along with it.

Before I knew it, the day was almost over and I was heading off to gym, my most hated class of the day.

I was on better terms with Mike. He still bugged me at times, but he really didn't mean much harm. He was just conflicted all these years because he always had a crush on me. Now that Edward was in the picture, Mike was even more jealous. He still helps me out now and then in gym, but sometimes it seems like the contact between us hurts him. I apologized for the punch I had given him not too long ago, it was a bit extreme, but at the time he definitely deserved it.

"Hey Bella," he said quietly as I walked in. He wasn't as cheerful as he used to be when he would see me, but I thought of it as him finally realizing that I would never date him. His behavior to me seemed like he was finally accepting it and moving on, which in the long run made me very happy. I didn't want to see him wasting his time on someone that would never reciprocate the feelings. I had to hurt enough hearts; I didn't want to add his to the list.

"Hey Mike," I replied, trying to give him a soft smile.

"You hear about prom?" he asked, oh no, please don't ask me….

"Yeah, I really don't want to go. I hate dancing, and those kinds of things." I said trying to change whatever he was thinking, if he was even thinking that way.

"Yeah…I don't know who to ask." He said looking confused.

"You should ask Jessica. I'm sure she would love to go with you." I encouraged him. Jessica had a crush on Mike, for some time now, but he never gave her the time of day, mostly because he always liked me.

"Yeah, I was actually thinking that." He said which surprised me.

"That's good! I'm really sure she would say yes." Mike looked at me, confusion still on his face. He was probably wondering why I was so happy about him possibly asking Jessica to prom.

"Yeah, we'll see." He said.

Coach Hoff walked in and then told the entire class that today was a free day. We could do anything we wanted as long as we were doing something. I decided to play ping pong with Mike.

We hit it softly back and forth while talking about Prom and school. Mike was good today, and I was thankful for it. I didn't want another conflict to add on to the horrible day of missing Edward. Jacob helped by being good, Mike helped, and now Angela and Jessica would help.

The bell finally rang and it was time for the girl's night out. I said bye to Mike then met Jacob outside by my truck.

"Hey baby!" Jacob said smiling while hugging me. He obviously had a good day today or maybe he was just happy that we were currently on good terms.

"Hey." I said smiling as he began to softly kiss my neck. It tickled and I began to laugh.

"Stop Jake," I said teasingly pulling away from him.

"Never," he said smiling with his eyes closed then kissing me on the lips. He felt so warm and the sun's rays added on to that warmth.

Then I heard a car honk at me and I opened my eyes to see who it was.

"Come on Bella! We gotta go! Girl's night, remember?" Jessica yelled from her window slightly annoyed but smiling. I laughed then nodded.

"I'll see you Jakey." I teased, saying his childhood name.

"Bye Bells," he kissed me again then let me go. He walked to his car then waved to me as I got into my truck and followed Jess to Angela's house.

When we arrived at her house, Angela was already inside preparing for whatever we were going to do.

Jessica parked outside on the street and I parked right behind her. We both got out of our cars at the same time and entered Angela's house together. She was extremely giddy and excited.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Jessica said while Angela opened the front door as we walked up to it.

"Hey!" Angela shouted, excited for the afternoon/night to begin.

"Hey Ang!" Jessica and I said together.

"So what are we going to do first?" I asked as we headed up to Angela's room.

"Gossip!" Jessica giggled and Angela and I looked at each other with the 'oh my' expression playing on our faces.

We entered Angela's room and sat on her bed. She grabbed a magazine from the side of her bed and began flipping through the pages while Jessica looked at me with a little smirk on her face.

"So guess what I heard today." Jessica started.

"What?" Angela asked.

"I heard Mike is going to ask me to prom." She said in a secretive but excited voice.

"Really?" Angela questioned.

"Yes! That's what I heard!" she said excitedly while smiling brightfully at Angela.

"It's true," I added and Jessica whipped her head to me and looked at me questioningly. I continued, "I was talking to Mike about it today in gym."

"Really?!" Jessica freaked out.

"Yes. He basically told me he was going to ask you."

"Oh my God!" Jessica squealed. "This is so awesome!"

Angela and I began to laugh. Jessica was smiling and kicking around in enjoyment.

"Ha calm down Jess," Angela said smiling.

"Sorry guys, it's just so exciting. That just made my day. But moving on….Bella…" I looked at Jessica and raised an eyebrow.

"Yes….?" I asked, wondering what she was going to bring up now.

"Tell me about you and Edward." She went on smiling.

"What do you mean?" I asked, slightly startled at the subject.

"You know…you two have gotten pretty close lately. Is there something going on?" Angela was in tune on this conversation now as well. She closed her magazine and patiently waited for an answer.

"I don't know…we are really good friends." I answered.

"But is there something more? Come on Bella. You can tell us." Jess encouraged.

"Not really." I simply replied.

"Bella…. Do not say there is nothing going on between you and Edward," Angela added in. It was odd for her to be in a conversation like this, prying information out of me.

"I've seen the way you two interact. The way he looks at you and the way you look at him. There is something really strong going on Bella. Do not deny it." Angela continued.

"I…ugh…well… I'm confused."

"What about Jake?" Jessica asked. "Do you still love him or are you going to end things….?"

"I don't know."

"Bella, you have to figure it out. You can't lead him on." Angela said.

"I know. I don't want to. I just don't know what to do." I complained. "It's so complicated, and difficult."

"Do you love him?" Angela asked.

"Of course I do." I replied.

"No, do you love him... Edward." Angela interrupted. I didn't reply at first, I hesitated.

"Bella…." Jessica nudged me on.

"Yes." I finally said. The room was silent and Jessica and Angela looked at each other with shock on their faces. Then they thought to themselves, really concentrating on something.

"What are you going to do?" Angela finally asked.

"I don't know, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I love them both. I've been with Jacob forever. He's always been there. But Edward, he's so amazing and he makes me forget everything. I've never felt anything like the feelings I have for him."

"Well then it seems you have made a decision." Jessica interceded.

"But I haven't. I don't know."

"Bella, you know I rarely bud in on your personal business, but as a friend, you need some advice... Just listen to your heart Bella. Just ask yourself what you want, who you want and act on it. It will be okay. You know what to do." Angela said, trying to help me out with sincere words.

"I hope so, but sometimes I can't help but think something bad is going to happen. I know I want Edward, but I just can't seem to let go of Jacob. He means so much to me, he is my best friend. But I know I can't live without Edward."

"God girl, you got it bad," Jessica said looking at me with amazed eyes.

"I know," I said, slightly tearing up. Angela moved to me and gave me a hug.

"It will be okay Bella, everything will be okay." She said soothingly.

"Thanks, I really hope so." Angela comforted me for a few minutes while Jessica sat there thinking then looking at the time.

"Well, this is bad timing, but we need to go right now if we're gonna make it to the movie." Jessica chimed in. Angela let go of me then looked at my face making sure I was ready to go and that I was alright. I nodded in assurance, letting her know that I was fine and that we could go.

"Okay, let's head out," Angela said. We all got up and headed downstairs for the front door.

"I'll drive." Angela volunteered. Jess and I agreed then walked to her car.

"Shotgun!" Jessica shouted. I didn't fight her for it. I just quietly walked to the back of the car and sat behind Angela.

I was still mentally comprehending how I told Angela and Jessica my dilemma. I had never admitted it to anyone, I had never spoken the troubles that I was going through, but in Angela's room I had let it all out. I vented to them. In a way it felt like I had finally freed myself, but in another way it felt like I had just trapped myself too. Now I would have to worry about them spilling to others. I trusted them, yes, but I still couldn't help but worry. There was always the possibility that they could tell someone, and I focused and worried on that small possibility until my brain hurt.

On our way to the movies, Jessica and Angela jammed to some girl pop music. I didn't join in much, it wasn't really my thing. I sat in the back thinking, thinking about life, the movie, what might happen tomorrow or the day after. My mind was filled with worries, worries that would never end and just kept coming. They were flooding my brain and I was constantly thinking about the bad things in life.

"We're here!" Jessica squealed as Angela parked in the theatre parking lot. I looked at the movie showing sign and saw one of my worries, 'Two's Is a Party, Three Is a Crowd.'

We all jumped out of the car, Jessica and Angela more excited than I was.

"You okay Bella?" Angela asked with a concerned expression as we walked up to the ticket booth. I gave her a fake smile and replied.

"Yeah, of course." Angela didn't seem to believe me, but she nodded instead of contradicting.

"Alright, but everything will be okay Bella, just remember that." She said with a smile. I nodded, though I knew it wouldn't.

I purchased my ticket after Angela and Jessica. Hoping that I wouldn't regret wasting my money, I proceeded to walk into the theatre where I would soon endeavor to sit through the unknown.

"I hope this is good," I mumbled to Angela who was sitting to my left and Jessica on my right.

"Me too," she replied.

"God! This is going to be so awesome! Have you seen the previews? So much drama!" Jessica busted out gleefully.

"Awesome," I mumbled sarcastically, too low for Angela or Jessica to hear that time.

The lights began to dim and the previews began to show. The audience became quiet and Jessica automatically silenced; the one good part to watching movies with her.

I didn't pay much attention to the previews, I only thought about the movie and what it could possibly be about. My worries obliterated my other interests. I didn't want to leave because that would cause Angela and Jessica to follow and miss out on the movie, or well only Angela would follow because Jessica would probably continue watching the movie. I had to stay.

The movie began and I was left with no options but to watch….

"Oh…my….god! That movie was so good! I can't believe that happened, so sad! I totally cried. Did you cry Bella?" Jessica practically yelled out as the movie ended. I didn't respond. I was still staring at the now blank screen.

"Bella are you okay?" Jessica asked me, but I didn't pay attention. I didn't move from my seat. I was frozen in dismay, shock from what I had just seen and experienced.

"I think it was the movie," I heard Angela whisper to Jessica, "it must have been too much for her."

Indeed it had been. The movie was exactly like its title and exactly what I thought it would have been like. There were three main characters, two boys, and one very conflicted girl. She had been dating one of the boys since she was a very little girl, he was all she knew, he was the love of her life…or so she thought. Then the second boy came in, she randomly met him somewhere and they hit it off right away. She had never felt anything like the way she felt for him. Yes, she loved her boyfriend, but she loved the new guy so much more. She didn't know what to do.

The movie spent most of the time showing us the love she had for both boys. It showed the confliction between her life and the one painstaking choice she inevitably had to make.

She knew she had to hurt someone, but she couldn't bear to do it. She kept her new love a secret from the other, hoping she could keep both of them without either of them knowing. The boys found out and tried to fight for her; they would have done anything for her. Then the worst possible occurrence happened. The boys actually fought each other, physically.

The girl was too late to stop them, and when she finally arrived to the scene, they both had died in the battle. She was heartbroken. By her selfishness, she was left alone, not being able to have any of her loves. She was so depressed and sad that she took her own life in the pursuit to end the painful one she had carelessly created for herself.

There was no happy ending; there was no fairytale, just a tragedy that would scar me for life. It was a story of the greatest selfishness and the greatest love. Greed stopped her from being happy. Greed stopped her from being with the one, or in this case ones, that she loved.

Though I did see her motives, I didn't necessarily think it was out of greed that made the girl not choose. I thought it was out of love and compassion. She didn't want to hurt either of the boy's hearts. She loved them too much to have one and then crush the other. She was thoughtful, but she was stupid. Just like me.

"Bella, come on, let's go." Jessica said trying to snap me out of my temporary paralysis. I shook out of my frozen state and looked at the two.

"Sorry," I apologized quietly.

"It's okay Bella; we shouldn't have seen this movie. We should have known." Angela said in her caring tone. She always knew what to say and what was going on. Her observational skills were extraordinary.

"That's alright. It was sort of a wakeup call. You know?" I said, still quietly, staring blankly at the screen.

"Yeah, I understand." Angela replied.

"Come on let's go, we can get some ice cream. That should cheer you up," Jessica proposed.

"You two can go, I have to get home." I lied.

The truth was that I wanted to go home; I wanted to get away from hearing about the movie and having to talk about my problems. I liked keeping things to myself. I liked having that secrecy, though it was nice to vent. It was just too difficult for me, the topic was way too personal and complicated to discuss.

"Alright, we'll go back to my house so you can get your car." Angela said. Jessica didn't seem too happy about that, but it was alright. She was easily distracted and would easily get over it.

When we finally reached Angela's house, I swiftly exited the car and headed for my truck.

"Thanks for the girl's night. It was nice," I said to them. Angela smiled and Jessica didn't pay much attention.

"Thanks for coming, I hope you are okay." Angela replied. I smiled back.

"Yeah, me too."

Angela looked worried, but she let me go anyways. I walked to my truck and hopped inside. I didn't turn any music on, I just thrusted on the engine and drove home as fast as the speed limit would let me.

I couldn't believe how similar the movie was to my own life. It made me really scared of not making a decision yet. How long would it be before Jacob and Edward had had enough? How long would it be until they possibly fought each other? The last thing I wanted was for something bad to happen to them. I loved them both, but I still wasn't ready to make a decision. And knowing that made me really scared.

What if they got tired of me, tired of waiting and moved on? Both of them? I couldn't bear to lose Edward, and Jacob as a friend for that matter. They had to be in my life, one way or another.

I parked my car outside of my house and noticed there was another car across the street that had not been there earlier before. I looked to the front door of my little house and saw a tiny girl with short black pixie hair staring straight at me. It was dark out, but I could tell she was smiling at me with a little cheeky grin that I had known for so many years, and had not seen for far too long.

A/N: Yes, I know, FINALLY! lol

hmmm were you expecting that? I bet not! This was a pretty lengthy chapter, I hope I did it justice.

did you like that little cliffhanger? Well its not really a cliffhanger because you basically know who it is. haha...You can only imagine what will be in store for the next chapter, and I bet no one can even guess as to what will happen!

So tell me, did you love it? Hate it? Did you have a favorite line or a favorite part? What's your favorite chapter so far? What do you think of the story?

I would love to know, so tell me! :)

The next chapter I'm sure will be out soon! I hope you enjoyed this!
