In Love with Impossible

Chapter 10 - True Colours

Jenny

       I could not believe that after all those years Penny came back into my life! And now she's with Edward? I did not need to hear that! What had started off as a perfectly beautiful day seemed to be ruined. The last thing I had expected today was to see Penny. Luke had once told me that Edward had fallen for a girl, never did I expect that girl to be Penny.

     When she called me a boyfriend snatcher...I ...Edward believed her. How could he? After all I'd shared with him? I mean I know he's not in love with me or anything but how could he believe her over me? He didn't say anything. If he cared he'd have come after me.l.that could only mean..he didn't. How had he fallen for Penny? Boyfriend snatcher? Me? Ironic.
     I stopped in mid pace and I heard my name being called. For a split second I hoped it was Ed. But the person I came face to face with was not Ed but Penny.

"Hey Jen," she said,her voice felt like icicles.

" Showing your true colors now huh?" I asked her indifferently.

She laughed.

"I know you'd keep the secret Jenny. After all your not the type to tell tales," I hated to admit that she was right. I never tell tales,even when I should because I always feel like no one will believe me....Edward won't believe me. I saw the way he looked at her. He still had feelings for her. He probably still loved her.

"What do you want?" I asked her,tiredly.

" Nothing really. I didn't come with the intention of meeting you. I just wanted to claim possession on Edward...and now that I am rich I know his father won't object. Nor do I want anymore distractions after all now that he's rich and famous..what bigger distraction can be there?" She said evilly. I hated the way she talked about Ed as if he were some sort of possession of hers. I voiced out my thoughts angrily.

"Awww...look who's fallen in love again! Well the first time I took what was yours...this time he's not even yours. But don't worry. You'll take it just like you did before... that's what your good at...being fake." I hated her. How could she know my feelings for Edward so soon? I didn't ask but she explained.

"Don't play dum, I see the way you look at him..one look tells a lot."

    After a few more unpleasentries Penny left. The way I remembered her she wasn't as manipulative as this. Sure she'd always being evil but back then she'd been the self centred ,selfish,foolish and fickle evil. Now she still possessed those qualities but she'd added manipulative and mocking into the list ...oh yeah,and perceptive.

   I sighed. Damn Edward for making me trust him more than I'd trusted anyone else ad then bringing me down. I pressed the unlock button on my cat key only to grunt in anger. Today was turning out to be the worst day ever! I kicked my car, gently, I didn't want to do it any real harm. I heard Ed's voice behind me and Penny's shrill laughter. Not wanting to be seen I ducked behind my car reflexively. From my perch behind the car I saw Edward take Penny's hand and smilr at her flirtatiously. My heart did a 'belly flop' in my chest. I told myself I no longer cared. But ,despite myself, when they started to move away I followed them.

     They sat in front of a fountain hand in hand, and Edward gently ran his thumb over her palm. I honestly felt like I wanted to cry. "It's been so long" I heard Ed say. Penny didn't reply so I assumed she just smiled." Did you graduate med school?" He asked her. Hah! No you didn't! I thought happily. But Penny replied..twisting the truth. "No I didn't...unfortunately. Jen and I had a bit of a falling out..so I couldn't concentrate.." really? We had a falling out! No I fell out and nearly failed the test! Of course Ed knows that.
"Jen huh? Seems like you two are connected in more ways than one. So what did she do?" No...Ed doesn't know that... how could he?
