Hailey Anthony up there guys, enjoy!
Bella's POV
Daniel??
I didn't know what to feel at that moment. It felt like my heart had stopped beating. What is he doing here? Who told him about the wedding? Okay, the press had been carrying the news all around but still, it's a strictly by invitation wedding, so how did he get an IV?
My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of him stepping in to close the door behind him. Somehow, the sound of the door added some dramatic effect to the intense yet awkward moment. Shelley was the first to speak up, "What are you doing here?!" she questioned.
He stares at her with a look I know to be anger and disgust, "I wanna talk to Bella"
"Then talk, of course you know she's not deaf! "
"Alone" he says through clenched teeth. I remain quiet through out their exchange and watch them glare at each other through the mirror. I sigh and squeeze Shelly's arm in a way that said 'You can go, I'll be fine on my own'. She looks at me, nods and glares at him again before finally leaving.
The air becomes more tense, with just both of us in the room. "So this is how life is huh?" he said in a voice that sent thrills down my spine, and not in a good way.
Taking a deep breath, I finally turn to face him, God help me, he's still as handsome as the last time I saw him. Standing in front of him, I feel some feelings coming back, this is not right Bella, you're married! Staring at each other for a while, I feel myself falling in love again. He might not be as handsome as Chris, but it doesn't change the fact that he's still handsome. No Bella! You should be mad at him! He's been ignoring your calls,he ditched you! Remember?! He stood you up at the date! I sigh and break our gaze. "What are you doing here Daniel?"
"What am I doing here?.."he scoffed "..What are YOU doing here? Cause the last thing I remember, is having a girlfriend and the next thing I know, she's getting married! I mean already married!" he raise his voice making me flinch.
"Well the last thing I remember, is YOU standing me up at our supposed 'Date' and you avoiding my calls!"
"Oh so that's why you had to run off to go marry some other dude?!"
"He's not some other dude okay?! At lease he's never stood me up at important events" I shrug.
"Well if I stood you up, it was for something important!"
"Something important? What 'important thing' made you stand me up, leaving me alone to dine with myself?!"
"Well a family member was sick.."
"Sick?...family?..but you always told me you had no family.."
"I never said I had no family Bella! Just not immediate family, this person is...my grandmother" he stuttered, he must be really affected by her condition.
"Grandmother?..I never knew you had one.."
"Well now you know... And I was gonna introduce you to her, as my fiancee!"
"You where gonna propose at the dinner?" I ask out of realization.
"Huh?? Oh yeah! I was! But now it's too late!" it's too late.. Somehow those words pierced my heart What have I done?!
"Um.. How's she now?"
"Who?"
"Your grandmother?"
"Oh, um.. She's..good, getting better. She still needs a kidney transplant..that's why I'm working hard! I just got a job, just like you've always wanted, a steady job! You said you never cared if I didn't have all the money in the world so long as I had a steady and honest job to provide for our family right?! Well I already do, but look.. You're Married! And of all people, to Christopher Vicker!" he says trashing and breaking things around us.
