My Twilight ff: La belle dame sans merci

Chapter 1

I sat in the confession box waiting for the father to arrive. As soon as father arrived, he sat down and asked me "So what made you come here today, child?"

"Father I have a confession to make" I said trying to stop myself from thinking the horrible incident that landed me here in the first place. Father slightly shifted himself in a more comfortable position and then asked me "Is it a sin you have committed" he asked me in a calm and collected voice.

"No father, I had an epiphany this morning..." I took a pause and then said in a slow voice, mostly because if anyone heard me, they were going to think I was some mental patient. "… I think I might have realized my sole purpose in life, father". I said

"That's a very good thing, would you like to tell me about it" that's why I came here you dodo, Ithought, pinching myself for cursing a man of God.

I pulled myself together, as if I were to expose the secrets of staying young to the old and the aged.

"I think the only purpose I was called on this planet was to stop all the young, nave and faint hearted girls-I hope you get the point" I said looking at father and then continued "–"Fall in love with some boys, who come with the sole purpose of ruining our lives" I said using every cell in my body to stop me from thinking bout my boyfriend, I mean exboyfriend stressing on ex.

But father looked at me as I was mad and escaped from the mental hospital. I got up and left the church, sighing. Why couldn't I have my personal Oprah Winfrey, who would actually believe me? Life was so not fair!

And I was certain about it, as I talked with complete logical proof a.k.a. my life.

As much as I wanted to erase the memory of my breakup with Jacob cheating bas***d Black, it kept coming back. I wonder why the memory of what I studied never came to my mind the next day when I was giving my friggin paper.

There you go I am absolutely sure that I will come in the Guinness book of world records, for having the most unfair experiences in a single life.

Just as I was walking down the road, I saw a young couple kissing passionately, and my mind went back to the day we broke up, which coincidently happens to be the day I had my epiphany.

Flashback: THE DAY I BECAME A SINGLE LADY

I was just coming out f my shower, when I saw Jake leaning against my truck, probably waiting for me. I was so happy to meet him after two weeks. I had just finished unpacking all my stuff which I would need in my new school.

Yes, I transferred to forks from phoenix, "why?" you may ask, to which I had the simplest yet straightforward answer, because of Jake, the love of my life. I met him when I was extremely young. And from that day on we were almost inseparable. We use to do almost everything together. It was like we were two lovebirds. We were so into each other that the other people in our vicinity were jealous of us, so much that if you saw closely I bet you could see smoke coming out of their ears.

Subconsciously I started laughing remembering the thought, of when I told Jake that we would have to call the fire station, because of the jealousy filled in side other people against us.

I quickly dressed up- wearing a white blouse and blue faded jeans-and jumped down my window hoping to scare Jake, who was obviously thinking about something, in fact he was so engrossed in his thoughts, that I highly doubted he would recognize a bull dozer passing him.

I quickly shunned the thoughts as I hid behind the truck waiting for the ideal time for me to launch my attack. When I thought the time was right and I suddenly jumped in front of him and scream "boo!"

He almost fell down, due to my scream. Yes I succeeded in scaring him, for the first time, mostly he use to just shoo me away. So now the score for today was:

BELLA: 1

JAKE: 0.

I smiled, making a mental note to my self. But the score was soon forgotten, when I saw Jacob. He had changed so much; he was no longer the Jake I knew, in fact the new Jacob scared me a little, and he looked so different. 'But change was good right?' I asked myself. "Hey bells" Jacob said in a placid voice.

"Hey Jake, I missed you so much" I said hugging him tightly, and inhaling his strong musky smell, which was one of the reason I fell in love with him.

"Bella listen…"he said removing my hand from his back, this was strange, and he never even hugged me properly.

"What's the matter Jake, you miss me too much" I said in my cutest voice, reaching out to kiss him.

"Bella we need to talk…" Jake said in a distant voice, turning his head, causing me to kiss his cheeks.

But as his voice reached my ears, I tried to push it away with all the might I had. I was sure I heard him wrong. Jake could never do this to me, he promised me. I wanted to scream back and tell him, we couldn't break up, that we were meant to be together, but all what came out of my mouth was "what?"

"I said we need to talk Bella…about us" he said pointing back and fords. No, not the 'talk' I thought, anything but the 'talk'. I always saw where the talk ended, I had seen to many reruns of 90210.

"I heard what you said the first time Jake, but why, is it something I did, where did I lack, we have to find a way to make this work, we were meant to be together" I said it all in a single breath. My face had turned red by the time I finished, due to the lack of oxygen in my body.

'Bella breathe" he said to me. I gave out a small laugh-cry. The redness which had disappeared came again, this time because of my blushing. Only Jake could have had such an effect on me.

"Why?" I asked him as I realized he was here to break up with me. "Because if you don't breathe, you are going to kill yourself, and now I don't want to spend the rest of my life in jail, for the reason that you forgot to breathe" he said giving a low chuckle.

"No I meant why are you breaking up with me, you jerk" I said suddenly becoming angry, listening to his last comment. He thought I was going to be the cause for him to spend his life in jail, without realizing that he would have already been rotting in jail, if I wouldn't have saved him every time, he was caught for underage drinking, or speeding.

"Bella I don't know how to explain this to you, but once high school started I started looking at things differently. It was difficult for me to have a long distance relationship and pay attention to my studies, and I found many other better girls to hang out with me"

"Long story short, I met someone" Jake said.

This was unbelievable, all of his excuses were so lame, especially since having a long distance relationship was a reason for him to break up. He thought that doing this was easy for me. I freaking moved to forks to be in a relationship with him. And to top it all he was breaking up with me, because he met someone new. That bas***d.

"Who is she?" I asked, as angry tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Its Tanya, bells you don't know, but once I started hanging out with her I started looking at life with a whole new prospective, I hope you understand" Jake replied

Tanya, I thought the slut Jake use to tell me about. He always told me about everyone in his school. That's the best he could find, Tanya! What made me angrier was that Jake left me for that slut.

"Of course, I understand Jake". I said kicking him in the place where it hurt most. He hissed in pain as I closed the door behind him, smiling almost proud of myself. The score sure needed a change now.

BELLA: 101

JAKE: 0

Who said break-ups were always sad.

PRESENT

Beep beep…

Beep beep…..

I was pulled out of my thoughts as my phone rang. I quickly answered my phone "hello" I said.

"Good afternoon miss, we are from the L.M.D.N. bank, we have this new policy…." I dint hear most of her talking but the only thing that I actually heard was when she was ending her talk by saying "… miss this investment is subject to market interest please read the offer document carefully before investing".

I laughed at my self when I made up a parody of the lines the lady had spoken, it was like: 'from the cupid management, your heart is subject to your partner's loyalty, please trust your partner carefully before investing your heart, thank you'. Even though it did not make sense I was going to follow it, except that I wasn't going to fall for any guy.

Just then I saw a caf, and thought of having some coffee. As I entered in I saw a tall guy who was standing the caf table. He was saying something, but all I heard was "… so as I pulled of an extremely easy yet dangerous dare at school, and won of course. Therefore all of today's drinks are on me, so enjoy"

Although I did not know this guy, I just knew that he was the second biggest jerk on this planet, coming under Jake of course. I mean that guy was filled with ego. Just as I was sitting down I read something that was written on his shirt.

'Girlfriends are like medicines;

They come in handy when you

Need them!

But you have to throw them away

As all come with a ….

EXPIRY DATE!'

Just as I thought, but then I started thinking that maybe Jake would have some competition for the first place, in being the world's biggest jerk.

I decided that the best thing to do in a situation where you don't know anyone in a caf, and have a very egoistic maniac as one of the customers, learn the art of ignoring, and that's what I was going to do.

"Hi" I heard someone say to me in a velvety voice. I immediately looked up, to see who it was, but regretted doing when I came to know who it was. It was the same HLEM (handsome looking egoistic maniac). His new name.

"Bye" was all I replied in a tone which implied 'go to hell as I am not the devil you should be after'

But my message was clearly not sent across as he was still sitting in front of me. "Hi, my name is Edward, and you are …." He asked me. "Not interested" I said just continuing as soon as he finished his dialog. Making it sound like 'hi my name is Edward and you are … not interested'

Even though I made my message crystal clear he was just not leaving. He seriously had an enormous ego problem.

"Hey, I was just wondering if I could have your number… coz I seem to have lost mine" he said in a flirting plus his usual velvety voice. But this dialog had to be the worst pick up line ever. And now I started thinking if he was a mental patient, or just a high ego problem.

"Are you lost" I said trying to bring him back to earth from his egoistic palace.

To which he immediately replied " no why, you want to take me to your place" he said in a seductive voice, if it were anyone but me, they would have fallen for this dialog, but fortunately I just had my anti-seductive vaccine taken the day I broke up with Jacob.

"Oh no! I just passed the mental hospital, I thought you belonged there. If you want I could give you a drive instead of my phone number, it's the least I could do" I said, happy at myself with the way I handled the situation.

He looked at his watch frustrated, and then suddenly out of the blue, pulled my hand and dragged me towards the corner of the room. As we reached there, I yanked out my arm and yelled "Edward, leave my arm what in the world do you think you are doing".

He looked into my eyes and said happily "wow, you know my name that sure means we have some chemistry between us". Yeah right! If that were the case then I would have been princess of England, and Jake would have been my dog.

"In that case you are highly mistaken; the only reason why I remember your name is because it will become so much easier for me to register a police complaint." You go girl! I cheered myself.

"Ok here's the deal lady, I have just accepted a dare to get your number in less than five minutes, and I don't do this I will lose my car, and my pride. I'll do anything you want, if I get your number". Edward said stressing on anything, as he spoke in his velvety voice.

"You'll do anything ha?" I asked him, positive of the fact that Edward had a dirty scene playing in his mind, so I decided to play along, but in my mind I was thinking of the different ways I could use HLEM to torture Jacob.

"Anything" he promised. This was going to be fun.

When he confirmed, to do anything, I wrote my number on a piece of tissue paper and handed it over to him. Just as he was able to grab it, I pulled it back and said "Just so you know, if you even think of chickening out, you are going to get suspended from your little high school once I tell the principal who was responsible for the dare you played" I warned him.

"Hey, it hurts to know that you don't trust me, after all we have a chemistry building up between us. And P.S. Edward never breaks his promises". He said giving me an angelic smile, before rushing to his friends.

I hoped Jacob, was having the time of his life, as it wasn't going to last forever, after all he messed with the wrong devil.
