Enjoy!

I was driving to town at top speed, towards the tattoo parlor. I heard that it was one of the best, so naturally I was surprised. I was actually excited about doing this. Parking my car, I took several deep breaths. Once I step foot in that building, there will be no turning back whatsoever. Getting out of my car, I stood straight and tall. Fearless.
I walked through the door and looked around. Walls were covered with sketches of tattoo designs, the lights were neon. This is kind of how I thought it would look. I always drove by here and I never thought of getting a tattoo. It's kind of a thrill. Looking at the desk, I saw a women with brown hair that had a blue streak. Unlike mine, hers was from the hair place. She looked up and smiled.
"Hello dear. What can I do for you?" she asked sweetly. I smiled and stepped up to the counter.
"Um, yeah. Do you think you can help with three tattoos?" I asked. Her smile grew wider and nodded.
"Yes," she said as she got out a pad and pen. "Just tell me what you want."
"Well, I would like a tattoo that says I Heart ? on my right hand, a dragon and skull on my left wrist, and Angel and Devil bleeding wings on my back," I said in one breath. I pulled out sketches I drew during class today. Giving them to the woman, she looked them over and nodded.
"Yes, right this way please," she said as she led me to the back. She pointed to a chair that you would see in a dentist's office, I sat, and she started to wipe my hand down. "My name is Debby, what's yours?" she asked as she started setting up.
"My name is Bella, nice to meet you," I answered as she started on the first tattoo, I Heart ?. She worked quickly, since it was a small one.
"Bella. That name fits you, a pretty name for a pretty girl," she said. "Those eyes of yours. They make you different. Make you pretty," she said. I never heard a compliment like that, so of course I blushed.
"Thank you," I whispered.
She sat on the other side of me and started working on my wrist. It hurt, but that went away. We continued to chat as she worked nicely on my tattoos. Debby did a great job on them. I grew a bit uncomfortable when I had to take my shirt and bra off for my back. She said we were both girls so really, there was no reason to be uncomfortable.
At the moment, I was paying for the new additions to my body. It was $50 but I didn't mind. I was walking out of the door in no time and stopped. I waved over my shoulder.
"Bye Debby! I'll be back," I said with a smile. She laughed.
"Alright Bella. Please visit Raining Inks again!" she said as she waved goodbye. I nodded and got into my car. Driving away, I looked into my rear view mirror and froze.
I was rushing home and there was a car behind me. It was a silver Volvo. There's only one person I know that drives one of those. Tears stung my eyes as I parked in my driveway. I ran up the front steps and unlocked the front door. I had it open, closed, and locked in two seconds. A tear fell and I wiped it away.
Creeping up the stairs to my room, I locked my door as soon as I got in. Then I collapsed onto my bed, then fell asleep, Edward's phone on the nightstand and my tattoos numb.
...
...
I woke up, groaning. It was five in the morning, and I was awake too early. Kicking off my covers, I stood up and stretched. Catching sight of my hand and wrist, I smiled. At first I thought it was dream, but now I can see that it was real.
Yay! Skipping off into the shower, I quickly cleansed myself. The warm water felt good against my skin and I looked over my shoulder at my winged tattoo. I giggled.
Stepping out from under the spray, I shut off the water and dried my body. Then blow dried my hair, then straightened it. Deciding to have my tattoo showing, I pulled my hair up into a messy ponytail. Walking to my walk-in closet, I looked through my clothes.
I chose a tank top with a skull on it, ripped blue skinny jeans, and brown converse. I didn't choose any jewelry so really, I was already to go. Grabbing my backpack, my iPod, and Edward's phone, I grabbed my skateboard and rode off. I didn't feel like taking my car today. I could really burn off steam by skateboarding to school.
I haven't done this for so long and the sky was going gray. I pushed my legs faster and harder, making me gain speed. No one was awake, good. For once I was happy to be the only one awake.
Plugging in my ear buds, I listened to Ridin' Solo by Jason Derulo. I loved this song, so of course I sang along. Whenever I listened to the song, I always felt like dancing the way he does.
I'm feeling like a star
You can't stop my shine
I'm loving cloud nine
My head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, solo
Yeah I'm feeling good tonight
Finally doing me and it feels so right
Oh
Time to do things I like
Going to the clubs everything's alright
Oh
I arrived at school and boarded down the halls to my locker. They knew that I get in around 5:30 or later so they open early for me and as soon as I'm through, they relock the doors till 6 or 7 in the morning. Arriving at my locker, I put my skateboard in and took out my sunglasses. Putting them on, I closed my locker. Wandering the halls of high school is my favorite thing to do this early. So I started walking around.
I kept my iPod, cell, and Edward's phone with me. I already saved his number into my phone, but my number wasn't in his. I was walking around the school grounds when suddenly a silver Volvo made its entrance and parked in the space next to my space. Though my car wasn't there. Edward got out and I looked away, hiding my eyes behind my bangs. (By the way, look at Kagome's hair in Inuyasha, that's how Bella's looks but straight and a bit more choppy).
I backed away into the shadows as Edward came up to me. I looked at the ground and gripped his phone tightly in my hand. Looking up, I saw Edward a few feet away from me. I felt a pang in my chest at seeing him, knowing that he betrayed me. I tossed him his cell and walked away, murmuring.
"Love made me blind." I knew it was too quiet for Edward to hear, so I just walked back into the school. I heard Edward following me as I opened my locker and got out my board and decided to change the wheels. Grabbing the tool box that held my skateboard tools, I went back out to the courtyard.
Sitting at one of the picnic tables, I placed my skateboard upside down, and took out my materials. While I was changing the third wheel, I heard Edward sit on the table next to me. I sighed and kept focused on working on the wheels. Soon, I was done and I saw a teacher going in. Mr. Berty is finally here.
Packing up my things, I ran over to him and put my skateboard down.
"What's up Mr. B?" I asked with a grin. He jumped and looked at me. He rolled his eyes.
"Jesus Bella you scared me! What are you doing here so early?" he said, though he already knew. I skateboarded next to Mr. Berty as we headed towards his classroom. Uncle Robert doesn't care about me skateboarding in the hallways, so none of the teachers did. Yeah, it's cause I'm awesome like that.
We went in silence, and I knew Edward was following. I sighed and blinked away tears. What I wouldn't give to be away from the backstabber. Mr. Berty unlocked his classroom door and I rode in, jumping, making the board spin, then landed on it again. I paused next to my desk in the back and placed my things under the chair.
"So Bella? Want to have some fun?" Mr. Berty asked. I looked up with a raised brow and stuck my iPod into the iHome he kept in his room. I nodded. "So what are you dancing to?"
"Ridin' Solo duh," I said with a grin. The music started and I started dancing like Jason Derulo does in the music video. I also was singing along, knowing Edward was watching me.
Yeeeeeyeeeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine, I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky,
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin solo, solo
Yeah, I'm feeling good tonight, finally doing me and it feels so right, oh,
Time to do the things I like, going to the club everything's alright, oh,
No one to answer to, No one is goin' argue, no
And since I got the hold of me, I'm living life now that I'm free, yeah,
Tell me to get my shit together now I got my shit together, yeah,
Now I made it through the weather better days are gon' get better
I'm so sorry that it didn't work out, I'm moving on,
I'm so sorry but it's over now, the pain is goooone,
I'm puttin' on my shades to cover up my eyes,
I'm jumpin' in my ride, I'm heading out tonight,
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo.
I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine, I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky.
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, soolooo.

Now I'm feeling how I should, never knew single could feel this good, oh,

Tell me get my shit together now I got my shit together, yeah,
Now I made it through the weather better days are gon' get better
I'm so sorry that it didn't work out, I'm moving on,
I'm so sorry but it's over now, the pain is goooone,
I'm putting On my Shade to cover up my eyes,
I'm jumpin' in my ride, I'm heading out tonight,
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, sooloooo.
I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine, I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky.

Riding solo, soooooloooo, yeah it's like S... O... L... O... S... O... L... O... S... O... L... O...
Living my life and got stress nomore,
I'm putting on my Shade to cover up my eyes,
I'm jumpin' in my ride, I'm heading out tonight,
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo.
I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine, I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky.
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo.
It's 2009, I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, sooloooowoooo.
By the end of the song, I was breathing heavily and was right in front of Edward. He was looking at me with sad eyes, I can guess why. I didn't say anything, just turned my back and I know for a fact he saw the tattoo on my back.
"Bella... What did you do to your back?" Edward whispered. Looking over my shoulder at him, I smirked.
"What do you think? I got a tattoo," I said simply. "And not just one, but three," I continued as I raised my hands, twisting my left wrist so he could see the dragon and skull, holding my right hand rightly so he could see I Heart ?. He froze and I sat on Mr. Berty's desk.
I heard students arriving and sighed. Time for school and a day in hell.
There you have it. What you think?
Please review.
