5 years later
As Jake was getting the car I started thinking of all of the things that have happened over the years.
The first year of college, the year I met Jake, I was so upset about Edward that I went into a depression, drinking and partying constantly, this went on for about 2 months. Until Jake finally helped me out of it, he became my best friend, the person I could tell anything to. Eventually we both decided to take our friendship to the next level and try dating. We immediately knew that we were meant to be, so we continued seeing each other all through college, until about 3 months ago. That's when Jake proposed to me. It was so sweet and I loved him so I said yes.
Now we were graduated from college and Jake was coming with me to meet my family, as well as my extended family, the Cullens.
Not a day passed by where I didn't think about them. Especially Edward, his words still haunted me to this day. I decided a long time ago that I couldn't be sad about Edward anymore, I spent too long crying over him and now I had a great new life, and he was not going to screw this up.
Just then I felt two warm arms wrap around my waist.
"Hello." I said smiling.
"Hey, Bells." He said casually.
I turned around in his embrace and kissed him on the cheek. "Come, on. We should get going and see my dad. I guess he invited all of the Cullens over so we wouldn't have to make multiple trips." I said.
"How kind of him." He said through gritted teeth. Jake was still very upset with how Edward treated me. We'd be lucky if no one ended up getting punched while on this trip.
"Jake, be a good boy." I said mockingly.
"Fine, I'll try. I can't promise anything though." He sighed.
The whole ride back to Forks I was bouncing with excitement. I couldn't wait to see my family again.
When we parked in my driveway I ran up to the door and knocked. I know it was stupid to knock, I mean it was my house, but I just wanted it to be a surprise. However the person I saw at the door was not who I was expecting.
Tanya.
She just glared at me and slammed the door in my face. I was so shocked I just stood there. One the other side of the door I heard Tanya say "Oh! Don't worry it was just like, a Jehovah Witness person." Just as stupid as ever.
Now I was angry this was my house, not hers. What was she thinking?! I pounded furiously on the door. Hoping someone would answer. Finally after a good minute of pounding the door flew open to reveal the witch again, she was about to slam the door but I put my hand on the door to stop her.
"Now, now Tanya I see you haven't changed much. This is my house, not yours in case your tiny little brain doesn't remember. Now step aside I'd like to see my family." I said glaring the whole time. She just scoffed, flipped her hair and moved over to Edward. After she moved I could see all of the Cullens, Hales, and my dad staring at me wide eyed.
"What?" I said confused.
Alice, of course was the first to speak up.
"The Bella I used to know would never say that to someone's face." She said in awe.
"Well the old Bella has changed a lot." I said glaring at Edward. His face immediately looked hurt and pained. I looked away before I could feel guilty, when I was attacked in a huge bear hug.
"Em--Can't--Breathe!" I hyperventilated. He instantly set me down and ruffled my hair.
"Sorry Bells." He gave me an apologetic smile. " I just missed you so much!"
I laughed and replied "I missed you too Emmett. All of you." I said looking at everybody except Edward and Tanya.
After that I was attacked in hugs from all sides. I had completely forgotten about Jake until I heard him clear his throat. I turned around and smiled at him motioning for him to come forward.
"Guys, this is my fiancé Jacob." I said staring at him lovingly.
I looked back for see everybody except for Alice and my dad staring with shock. Alice was bouncing with what I assumed was excitement, and my dad already knew considering Jake asked permission from him before he asked me to marry him.
"You're getting married?" Edward said softly, his voice full of hurt.
"Yes, Edward. Does this bother you?" I said, ice filling my voice.
"No." he said quietly while looking at the floor.
"Good." I said.
After that little intense moment everybody started talking to Jake. I think they were really starting to warm up to him. We were sitting all sitting on the couch when someone came up beside me and tapped me on the shoulder.
I turned to see Edward staring at me intensely.
"Bella, can I talk to you privately, please." He asked.
Jake just glared at him but I ignored it and answered "Yeah, sure."
Edward took me into my old bedroom and shut the door behind us. He just sat on my bed staring at the floor. I took that time to remember just how gorgeous he was. He was breathtaking. Just as I thought that his head snapped up. He looked like he was holding back tears.
"Bella, I'm sorry." He said sincerely.
"For what Edward?" I asked innocently. He wasn't going to get away that easily.
"You know for what Bella. For when I told you I hated you and that you were a horrible person. Not too long after that I realized what you meant when you said I took the words out of your mouth. I know that I really can't take it back but Bella I am so very, very sorry." He said with a tortured expression.
"Edward do you even know what you left me like. I was broken. I went out every night and partied and got drunk so I could try to forget about you Edward. I went into a state of depression knowing that my once best friend hated me and was out at Dartmouth living his life happily with his family and his girlfriend. Nobody was there for me Edward. You broke me and left me to fend for myself. What did you expect?!" I said hysterically
"What about Jake, huh? You seem pretty fine and dandy with him!" Edward said desperately.
"I was lucky to find Jake. The night you called I went to a party and got blasted and he took care of me. If you're upset at him, don't be, because it's your fault he found me in the first place. If you hadn't left me in pieces Jacob wouldn't have had to put me back together." I said angrily.
He looked at me like I had just slapped him across the face.
"You're right Bella. It is my fault. I'm sorry." He said again.
I sighed "Edward, I don't know what you want me to do. You know how I feel about you. And I certainly know your feelings for me—"
He cut me off saying "You don't know how I feel about you. Whatever you think I feel is probably wrong." He said with confidence.
"Oh really?! And how exactly do you feel about me?" I said frantically.
What happened next took me completely by surprise. He took me face in his hands and kissed me. I was too in shock to respond at first but after awhile I gave in and started kissing him back. Our lips molded perfectly to each other. After about 30 seconds we broke apart, our foreheads resting against each other, gasping for air.
"You still love me don't you?" Edward asked wearing his crooked smile.
Right then reality came back to slap me in the face. I had a fiancé, Edward had Tanya.
"I have to get back to Jake." I said with tears running down my face.
Edward looked hurt and I wanted to comfort him so badly, but I couldn't it wasn't that easy anymore.
So I turned and walked away from him again.
Do I still love him?......
A/N: So there it is. Bam! I know I know, Bella's being all moody, but if someone who did the Mexican hat dance on your heart came back wouldn't you like to have the chance to tell him off? I definitely would.
P.S. Major plot twists are coming!!!
