Who destroyed me.

CHAPTER 2

The professor rattled on and on about the humans genes, GOD, sometimes I regretted that I choose Biology as my minor. Then again I can't exactly change it because well I am stubborn like that. GOD! Sometimes I do things for myself that I just shouldn't do.

I thought of the reason why I came from all the way from Denver to California and my heart clenched from the pain as it did every time I thought about the reason. Him.

Cole Anders.

The man who changed me. The man who took the real Anna and destroyed her, ruined her and broke who she really was and what she really was. The real Anna was as friendly as a domestic animal (loving one of course ), now the new and improved Anna has walls all around her heart. Yet she can create a facade so powerful some people can't even see the real Bella underneath while she is as cautious as a mother is when strangers come towards her children. It amazed me really, how they reacted. They were so vicious, women really are the protectors of this world while not always physically, but emotionally they were the ones who saved us.

Yet when I think of my old bestfriend, I feel pain. Let me tell you that that is not something you want to experience everyday. I am talking from EXPERIENCE. Experience I would love to forget.

We were born in the same year, same month even on the same day, even at the same time. That is how our parents met, and became best friends, they still keep contact even today. That is how our friendship started.

I have pictures of us in diapers, and playing together, us taking a shower together, a video of us trying to walk for the first time, where it shows Cole having already learnt how to walk and then when I stumble he saves me and in the end ends up helping me. He always was my hero. He was there for me at every step in my life. He was always there when I needed him. He was there to catch at every one of my stumbles, always was there to catch me, but then he just left. Gone. After that one night in my room, I never did see him again. That ruined me, cha----

''Miss Pryce, which of these is a homozygous and which of these is a heterozygous '', the voice of my professor brought me out of my reverie.

I looked towards him and saw that he was pointing towards the boards where there were four sets of pairs drawn. From looking I could see that the first one and the third one were heterozygous, and the second and third were both homozygous.

When I saw him waiting, I finally answered, ''The first and the third are heterozygous and the second and fourth are homozygous, Sir ''.

"Good job, Miss Pryce", he replied back curtly. "At least someone pays attention in my class", he muttered to himself.

Which was honestly true.

As he turned away and stated to resume teaching the class, I suddenly felt the tingling sensation at the back of my head, but when I turned around to see what it was I saw nothing.

*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Miss Pryce

That name. The one I dreamed about everyday. The one from which I got away. The one love of my life. At first I wasn't sure if it was Anna, but when she turned around as if having sensed my gaze on her, I saw her face, and it was the face of someone I have longed to see for four years.

I can still remember the first memory I have with her.

It was approximately twelve years ago. We were sitting by the lake behind our house . It was in a spot hidden by trees and bushes, and it was known through our family as our spot, we always took our favorite snacks with us and we ate there away from everyone. It was our only spot to get away from the worries, from a life I guess where we didn't have worries in the same place.

Anna laughed long and hard. It was a beautiful sound. From now on my life's mission would be to always make sure she laughed this care free all the time. As I stared at her I knew I would have to live up to my vow. I could not give up, no matter what happened.

I was so full of dreams when I was ten. Full of dreams I should've known would never come true.

''Do you know what I dreamed of last night?'', her voice broke me out of my reverie.

''What?'', I shot back.

''I dreamed that I was in this exact place and suddenly a prince on a horse came all dressed in those clothes all the princes wear when they're in the movies. He looked at me and just smiled. Just Smiled!!. Oh and he was soo cute!. He had the perfect teeth in that perfect smile of his. He was sooo beautiful!. He gave me his hand and asked me if I wanted to be his princess, and I said yes!, I took his hand and he lifted me like I weighed nothing but a feather, on to his horse, oh and it was a white horse. Then he told his horse to take us to our castle. A Castle Cole. Isn't that dream absolutely amazing?''

''Yeah Anna it is amazing. If I was girl'', I said haughtily.

''I wish someday my prince comes to take me away to our castle one day just like that'', she says then promptly sighs sounding too love sick for my liking.

It was then I vowed that I would be that prince to come and take her away to our castle. I would keep that promise even if it killed me.

Maybe I was making more promises than I could keep? Yet when I looked to her all I could see was the most beautiful girl to ever walk the planet(of course after my mother) with most bright smile on her face I knew I would have to keep my promise, if not for her but for me.

But when I kept that promise, what my ten year old self didn't realize was that that hope and dream to be her prince was something I would have to almost kill myself.

The bell announcing that class was over brought me out of my trip down memory lane, I saw that everyone had almost left, and Anna was still in the room. She was so busy packing her things she hadn't noticed me. I hoped she doesn't.

She looked so beautiful from here. Her long hair was loose and flowing over one shoulder, reaching her waist. She was wearing an off shoulder white crop top and I could see the curve of her shoulder, and what seemed to be her pink bra strap. SHIT. That is hot.

She looked so hot it brought back memories of my last night with her. Something I would never forget .

Suddenly she turned around and walked out of the room. I debated with whether I should just let her go and forget I ever saw her or just follow her and find out where she stayed. I don't think she would ever appreciate that so I decided with ignoring the fact that the only person I ever loved, the love of my life was walking out of the room, and that I could never get back what I crave to be mine everyday. Maybe I can ignore her for the rest of this dreaded university life and maybe I can forget her and let her find a decent man who can give her the white picket fence life she actually deserves and die alone with a trophy, gold digging wife in some tropical island.

Yeah, lets just see how that goes.

Well Fuck.
