"Hot new couple alert: Jacob Black and Leah Clearwater look super in love"

I glanced through the photos again.

Yeah, we needed a 'break'... Right! He just wanted make it official with her, that's it!


"I think this is also really good." I said as I showed the pictures to Jacob. I was trying to find a good resort for our next vacation in the Bahamas.

"I think we need a break." He said to me.

"What?" I said.

"I think we need a break," he repeated.

"Break? What do you mean?" Suddenly I felt my heart beating faster.

What did he mean?

We were doing well.

There was nothing wrong!

Why did he think we needed a break?

"Bella... You're really nice." he said.

Nice?

"It's not about you. It's about me." He said.

Okay, the most basic excuse!

"Bella... I think our careers are kind of going in a different direction now, and I think... "

"By going in a different direction, do you mean you're getting super successful and my career is not going anywhere?" I said.

"No, Bella... No..." he said, "I just mean... that our career goals are different now, and I just think..."

"So our relationship was just about career goals then?" I smiled sarcastically.

"Of course no, baby." he said, "I just think I'm going to get busy now, and maybe we need a break."

"Break?" I said, "Why don't we just end things? What is this 'break' going to change anyway? Do you expect me to get more successful when we are on break?"

"No, Bella... No! You're great. You're good at what you do. You're successful in your own way. But I mean..."

He must be kidding me!

"But you mean I'm not good enough for you!" I said.

"No, Bella! I think..."

"Let's end this, Jacob." I said.


"Ready?" Angela, my stylist asked me as I glanced at my look for one final time in the mirror.

"Yeah." I said.

"C'mon, Bella... Smile! He's not worth it." she said.

"Of course." I smiled, but it still fucking hurt.

"Give your best. Show him what he's missing out on." she smiled.

"I'll try my best," I smiled.
