The Photographer's Muse

Sixteen

Bella's P.O.V

I woke up, seeing the sun shine through my thin curtains. I stretched a bit before sitting up. I got out of bed and walked downstairs.

"Bella," I heard my mom call out.

"Yes?"

"Would you mind coming to the kitchen?"

I walked over to see my mom and dad looking over a tablet. I felt like I already knew what this was going to be about.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Want to explain this?" My mom asked, holding up a gossip news article about me splashing the drink in Landon's face.

"Yes. Landon wouldn't leave me alone and said that I would be crawling back to him," I told her.

"You couldn't just have walked away?" My mom asked me.

"At least I didn't punch him in the face," I said.

"Bella, you know that we have a reputation to keep. If you do that next time, you're being sent to live with your aunt and uncle," Dad threatened me.

"I won't do it again," I told him.

"Please don't," Mom said.

"Besides, he deserved it anyway," I told them as I grabbed some things to make myself breakfast. 

"Well, your brother and Bianca needs help with some wedding things. As a punishment, you have to help them with no Collin," Mom told me.

"What?" I asked.

"No, Collin? Let's calm down here a bit, Aria," Dad said to mom.

"I mean it. And you're going to help clear this up," Mom told him.

"Yes, honey."

I was helping Bianca and Xander go wedding register shopping. Basically, what they needed or wanted, they put it on a list and the guests get at least one thing on the list. 

"Oh great, paparazzi," Bianca said rolling her eyes at the door. I looked over and sighed. 

"Must be here for me," I said. 

"I never liked him. Why did you even go out with that guy?" Xander asked me. 

"He was cute. Guess I should've looked at his personality," I said. 

"Well, this needs to stop," Bianca said. 

"Let's finish this, go out for lunch, and drop Bella home," Xander told Bianca. He leaned over to her ear and whispered something. Bianca blushed before playfully hitting him in the chest. 

"Stop," She said before giggling. Xander smiled before giving her a kiss.

"Gross," I said. 

"Gross? You kiss Collin," Xander said. 

"In private," I mentioned. Xander stuck his tongue out at me. I did the same thing back at him. 

"Alright, you two. Stop. Come on. I want to see if they have any fandom related stuff," Bianca said before holding Xander's hand and leading the way.
