Selina pulled her car and cut off the engine before staring in the rear view mirror " how do I look ? "
" Like you can punch Conan Salvador in his face and make him cry mommy " I said with a grin releasing my seatbelt " But you were always pretty , Sel "
" You don't count " she said with an eye roll " and nor does my mum both of you are out of jury "
" That's rude " slapping her shoulder , I got off the car " I'm being truthful here "
" Yea, yeah " Selina muttered as she locked the car " Today I will show those suckers what I'm made of. If anyone tried to bad mouth me today - it will be my fist and their mouth "
" That's the spirit !" I couldn't stop the smile that was begging to etch upon my lips , even though I had enough troubles to fill the space between the great canyon <
" Well , well .. look who is it " a long drawling voice called from our behind when Selina and I stepped out of the classroom after we were done with our first lecture .It has been hard enough to ignore Jacob's glare but throw in an equally enraged Conan and you got yourself a total package. All I wanted to to do get past the four horsemen and escape their territory that's why I couldn't help but snarl at this new arrival who looked nothing less than friendly.The speaker was a tiny girl - well not tiny but she was even smaller than me . But she had a typical model like body , with natural tan , her brown eyes were oh so similar to Conan and she had a menacing scowl on her face .She resembled the cliche mean girl of every school with that scowl plastered on her face ." The fake bitch " snarled the tiny brunette at Selina whose hands were clenched in fists , I didn't know whethe
" Now will anyone tell me , what in the skanky shanky pants was that?" asked Ron the moment he slammed down three cups of iced coffee on the table" What was what ? " I asked taking a cup from the tray and sipping on it , whatever Ron was freaking about had nothing to do with me .I hoped it wasn't .The next thing I knew Ron took out his phone from the back pocket of his jeans , tapped a few times and slid the phone in mine and Selina's direction .The phone lighted up with Selina and her earlier - who wants me, performance and honestly , I wasn't surprised by it.Anything that has to do with the four horsemen would end up getting viral . I wouldn't be shocked if , this video reached even the Mayor after jumping loops and bounds like an Olympian ." Now will you explain me why you were strip teasing my boys ?" asked Ron as pou
I scurried down the street with Selina following behind to where Ron and his brother was having an intense conversation .I didn't liked the idea of interrupting them but then again I couldn't make out neither head or tail of Ron 's expression ." Can you not -" Ron's face was undeniably red with either anger or embrassment and he seemed really close to snapping . He was so off track that he didn't even heard us approaching him ." Hey ?" I tapped his shoulder " Did you forget about us , or what ?"" Jesus , Bells " exhaling harshly he cursed as he turned to look at me " Sorry , my bad . I got side tracked , can you guys umm wait there for me ? I will meet you in a jiffy "His brother who was standing in front of him diverted his attention to me . His hardened jaw relaxed sliglty as he nodded in my direction , holding his hand out for
Its utter pandemonium.There is a myriad of people , spread around the house in small clusters , all of them were holding a red solo cup in their hands .Some were chatting , some of them were dancing on an off beat song , having the time of their life while some on them cheered from the sidelines and the remaining tried their best to minimise their existence so as not to be dragged on the dance floor and have the most terrible time of their life .A bunch of drunken guys were sprawled on the floor , while the one who could still find their footing were fighting .Hidden in some inconspicuous spots couples were making out while those who were bold enough they were on whatever unoccupied surface they could find .I'm so overwhelmed by the entire situation that I flushed red in just a second and my jaw damn near hit the floor the seco
Before I could even comprehend anything , I found myself pivoted around only to found myself face to face with a really pissed off , homicidal looking Jacob as he glared at the guy who was dancing with me . All his muscles were taut , his face all scrunched up and his mouth was set in a hard line , one of his arm was wrapped around my waist but he -he wasn't looking at me .Maybe the other guy has been living in a hole for all his life or maybe he was feeling suicidal as he planted his hands on my sides, pulling me from Jacob's grasp , in a ' she is mine ' gesture .I heard a low rumble from Jacob before he tugged my wrist so hard , that I nearly cried out . His touch was hard and so was his strength , I slammed against his chest so hard that my teeth rattled . I wanted to struggle but thought against it , I really didn't want to become a spectacle in case Jacob tried to take on the poor guy whose only fault was to
" Jacob -"" Not a fucking word " shushed Jacob a maniacal smile on his face " I will advise you not to fucking test my patience, Bella "My lip trembled while my hands turned clammy and I knew it wasn't because of my anxiety ." You really shouldn't be doing this , you know" I tried to speak up in some what light tone, for which I should have been awarded with some sort of medal or something , given there was nothing light about my situation " I'm not sure how many people saw you dragging me here , in case anyone started a rumour - your reputation might not be able to withstand it "Jacob softly caressed my head as he pulled me even closer to his face , making my body arch in an uncomfortable position .Woah , since when did I have this flexibility .Ugh , don't mind me when I'm anxious or nervous , I start talki
I swallowed hard at his words , a feeling of foreboding swept in me as I tried to look back at him. I was full of anger at his casual way of treating me , I watched him come to this party with Anna yet he was here touching me as he pleased .If I knew this would happen I would have ran as fast as I could , I thought he gave up on his whatever sick obsession he had regarding me after I rejected him last night . But now it looked like he clearly hasn't .It was too late to regret and there was no point in thinking about this anymore , I wanted to get away from him but I don't know how. My skin was burning with a rush of adrenaline , with all the fight I was putting against him .Its hard to think with him pressing against me , on top of that I could feel his hard c*ck pressing against my as* and if that wasn't enough he made the entire situation even worse by casually slipping his arm around my waist and popping open the button of my jeans .
I threw the cover over my head ignoring the light throbbing of my head , I didn't mean to kiss Jacob , I didn't mean to let him touch me and I for sure as hell didn't mean to fell asleep after we were done in a completely different place .But I did . When my eyes drifted open in the room, I was alone on the bed , my body was covered with a quilt and there was no one inside the room with me .Sure , I looked around the room as well searched for him in the partygoers but nothing . I didn't found him at all , forget about Jacob , I couldn't even find Conan who supposedly kidnapped my best friend right from my side.When I looked around Christina's Mediterranean European style living room , I did find Anna slumped on the sofa looking completely drunk but the four horsemen were no where to be found .I hated how my stomach sunk when I didn't see Jacob .

EpilogueOne year later“What I’m trying to say is you can’t blame me for this !” exclaimed Jason , almost lunging at his girlfriend ‘s throat “ you are trying to argue with me with your so called theory but I’m telling you its not gonna work . If you gonna counter my theory you better prove it with real facts not ideologies “I grinned as Alicia gripped her head and groaned , like her head was going to explode any moment because of all the stress and frustration her boyfriend was giving her . Their debate session are always intense despite how loving they are out of the debate club , once inside - oh boy , they would be ready to lunge at each others throat and if I didn’t knew better I would have taken them as mortal enemies .They have never met a topic where the two of them would be able to cordially agree with each other . At first everyone was alarmed and worried when we firs
Bella“ Holy sizzles “ gasped Selina “ you look so beautiful ““ I know right “ said Adriana as she swiped her fake tears with her forefinger “ this is my master piece ,simply flaw-fucking -less amazing “To add to the effect she even sniffed” are you ready ?”Of course I was , this morning Adriana had stormed inside the room that I was sharing with Selina . I have told her in passing that I was going to do my makeup on my own - and believe me the girl squawked so loudly she was one pitch lower than the seagulls .If I wasn’t ready after all that , then I would never be ready . I nodded and once I did , Selina and Adriana grabbed my shoulders before turning me around to face the mirror .And I only had one word in my mind - Gorgeous .The solid champagne slit dress indeed flattered my curves , somehow it made me feel beautiful yet sexy at the same time . A
Bella“ It was the wedding dammit ! “ shrieked my mother “ I wanted you to be beautiful , I wanted you to feel beautiful ! Have you seen Lily ? She looks beautiful , she is healthy and active . The second she appeared in the wedding hall everyone’s gaze was locked upon her and she wasn’t even the bridesmaid ! What about you where were you ? I will tell you “ pointing her fore finger right at my face , my mother snarled “ you were being ignored , everyone was ignoring you despite Jennifer standing next to you because you are not what this society calls beautiful and healthy . You are average Bella , just average ! Do you want to be average ? Because I don’t ! I want my daughter to be beautiful and healthy , the centre of attention ! Even now the doctor can blame it all on the medicine but if you ask me , I say that it was all because you were so heavy . It wasn’t the side effect of the medicine that I gave you , No matter how much those doctor insist it is until they turn bl
Jacob“ Okay first question , exactly how much ICD one needs to overdose and die ? “ I asked but then furrowed my brows “ guess what that’s a stupid question isn’t it ? You can’t answer anyway . So “ I shrugged casually “Let’s see what exactly is the level of ICD overdose ,I can find it myself no need to trouble you “Wilkins ‘s eyes got as wide as saucers as he started to moan continuously , his eyes darting to the door and back to me .“ Ah , you better stop doing that - Grampy “ I told him with a warning note in my voice “ if something happened to you right now , you don’t even have someone to plan your funeral tonight “His eyes widened but he stopped struggling . His body went slack , and his chest rose and fell with uneven breaths . His eyes locked at the needles in my hand .“ that’s a good grampy “ I cooed soft
Bella" I think I will - umm , go ?" said Anna as she walked past Ron without waiting for an answer from me . I wanted to ask Ron , what was that about but the expression on his face made it clear that he didn't want to talk abut what happened just now .So , I swallowed my questions back . Instead I smiled at him " Hey , how are you doing ?"Ron who was still looking over his shoulder , turned his head back at me and smiled back " come on short stacks , is this question something you should be asking ? Instead it should be me asking , how do you feel after beating the death 's ass ?"I sit up a little more comfortably and flash him a victory sign " It feels awesome , I was -"I couldn't even get the words out because he already has his arms wrapped around me so tightly , that it was becoming a struggle to breathe ." I was so scared ,Bella .. just so scared " he said , his shoulders shaking as he rested his head on m
Bella" when I almost lost you , I realised how much I needed you " he said resting his forehead against mine " I didn't think about it while you were right by my side , but when I thought I was going to lose you , I realised that I never told you how much I need you "" I know , that already Jake "" Throughout my life I was scared about needing someone , scared that someday someone would want me and I would want her too "" I know that too "" No , you don't get it " he said nuzzling his head to my neck as he let his head drop down " You have no concept of how much I need you , if you knew you wouldn't be so calm , it would scare the hell out of you . It scares me too "" well , if it makes you feel better . I feel the same " All my life I have fought my battles alone , I have been disappointed so much by my family that I grew resistant even at the thought of needing someone . But Jacob was essential for me ." Glad
Jacob“ Hey , I’m back mum “ standing in front of the white headstone without Dante was awkward enough . But I knew I had to be here because she had always been there for me , I placed the bouquet of roses on her grave . My chest was rippling with so much relief and gratitude than ever before “ just so you know , I’m going to fulfil that promise the one that I made to you . I will study hard and inherit Dante -no Dad ‘s company and be a better man and son , a son you can be proud of ““What I want to say - oh to hell with this “ I wasn’t the emotional type and with all the errs and momentary pauses I was certain that my mum must be laughing at me if she was watching me right now “ What I want to say , is thank you . “ I looked at her grave before looking up at the blue sky “ Thank you so much mum , I know you came through for me …I know you did “Because she had
JacobI knew that this was real selfish on my part but you know what fuck it , because if I don’t put a stop on my pain right now , it will keep brewing until I was on the verge of dying with it . So better just end it before it becomes too much for me to handle .“ Mom , you don’t owe me a damn thing . But if you really have a pull up there I need you to string it up for me -please bring her back to me because I need her “ still leaning against the cold marble tomb , I uttered my final plea “ if you bring her back I will try my best to be a son that you can be proud of , so please tell that guy to return her back , I will do anything -please mum “Nothing , not even a flicker of grass or any soft caress of wind flew next to me . And I knew she didn’t hear it , And honestly I didn’t blame her because if I was in her place where my own kid loved my murderer instead , I wouldn’t listen to his damn ple
Jacob"I know you will be really pissed off about this but honestly I don't care because I have been pissed at you all my life and couldn't do a thing to you so yeah - that account is settled . Now we are going to talk about the new one -Bella , she is really a good person , she is loving , compassionate and caring - something I can't say about myself " I stopped breathing hard as emotions clogged my throat , I cleared it before continuing on with my speech that I have prepared after thoughtful consideration " and she is mine , you hear me mine not yours and you have no right to take her because -" my vision went hazy and something warm and wet trickled down my cheeks . I inhaled sharply staring down at the wooden flooring away from the altar " because she is my everything . I know people shit around the word ' love ' a lot now a days but this different . I have already promised her a future together and I can't fulfil that one promise if she is not by my side . " my voic
