Experiences in Seattle

Chapter 1- Your Name is What?

A/N before story: Hi, guys! This is my first story. I know Twilight is a bit old, buuutttt, I have been a Twi-Hard since third grade. This is a Jasper/Bella pairing, as all of my Twilight stories will be. I own no characters, Stephanie Myers owns them all, I just enjoy toying with them. I hope you guys like it!

Bella's POV
"ARRRGHHHH!" I screamed in frustration, slamming my MacBook down. When is inspiration ever going to strike? I have a deadline to meet in a month, and I can't even get past the first page! The struggle of being a writer is so real.

I got up from my desk chair and walked into my kitchen for a snack. Peering into my cabinets, I took out a bag of Poptarts and a clear glass to pour some wine in. Wine and Poptarts, lunch of champions. I snorted at the hilarious thought and got the Chardonnay out of the refrigerator. After pouring myself a glass, I decided to watch T.V.

Once I was settled on the couch, I flicked the T.V. on and flipped through the channels until stopping on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. "How the fuck can you be famous with no talent?" I wondered aloud to myself. The entire clan: Kris, Kourtney, Khloe, Kim, Kendall, and Kylie were all talentless. I didn't include Bruce in that because he won the Olympics...that's talent.

I soon got bored with television and let my mind wonder. I tried not to think about that time in my life, but no, my mind must betray me. Suddenly I wasn't in my livingroom anymore. I was in my bedroom in Forks at my dads house.

I was laying on my bed with Edward, my fiancé, smiling. My eighteen years old self didn't know what was coming next, but my twenty-three years old self did. Old Bella didn't know that her life was about to end, but New Bella does.

~Flashback~
"I love you, Edward,"I mumbled against his chest, smiling even though he couldn't see it. "As I love you, Bella,"he replied, squeezing me a little. Edward Cullen and I had been dating a little over three years. We had gotten together in our freshman year of high school. Edward and his sister, Alice, and foster brother and sister, Rosalie and Emmett, were all new to Forks. Edward was my Biology partner and we took an instant liking to one another. A month later, we were dating and had been together every since.

Alice Cullen was my bestfriend and Emmett was the brother I'd never had. Rosalie didn't like me to much, but I didn't care. Esme and Carlisle loved me like a daughter. I was happy with Edward and we were going to married within a year. I was so lucky to have him.

I leaned up and pressed my lips to his softly. I enjoyed kissing Edward, but he never wanted to take it farther. He kissed me back, gently, and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. This is new, I thought. I pushed my luck and deepened the kiss. He pushed me back. Of course, how dumb of me to think that my fiancé might actually want to share a decent kiss with me.

"Edward,"I whispered, jutting my bottom lip out in a pout. "Why do you always push me away? We're getting married within a year, you have got to kiss me!" He sighed and ran his fingers through his coppery hair.

"It's not you, Bella,"he replied, looking out of my window. "It's me...well, someone else, really." He paused to look back at me. Someone else? Like...another person. "I met her before we moved here, and we've been in touch. She's recently moved here."

I didn't speak. I couldn't. He carried on talking and I just zoned out. I couldn't believe my ears. My Edward, my love, my fiancé , was cheating on me. I didn't want to believe him, but deep in my heart, I knew he wasn't lying. I felt the tears pool in my eyes. I took a deep breath. "How long?"I asked, my voice cracking and betraying me.

"What?"he asked. "How long, Edward?"I screamed, tears streaming down my face. "How long have you been cheating on me?" I couldn't take it anymore. I was full on sobbing by now. Edward tried to comfort me but I shook him off.
