Bella POV
I felt the rain hammering down on my head from the outside window of my best friend's house. I noticed it was my HUSBAND! She was bouncing on a guy, and before I could turn away due to shock...
He said he was working late tonight. Instead, he is in there with her. I wanted to surprise my best friend with some great news. Just last night, I had a sit down with Derek and 'learn' he wasn't cheating on me… it was just my paranoia getting the best of me… damn, we were best friends since we turned eleven. Our daddies are business partners, and my husband works under her father... well, I guess now I know why he is always working late for them—that ass!
I begin twisting my wedding ring around and around my finger and remember back to when I had a heart-to-heart with my best friend, Jamie. She was so upset because Derek was marrying me, but she would go on to say, "It's you, and I am so happy for you to find a wonderful man like." And now I am outside her house, in the rain, watching my best friend f**k my husband through the window in her living room.
Lighting flashes somewhere. Maybe I should call my daddy. While I start to dial his number, then pauses and decides it is best to handle this personally, but I still finish dialing. See, it is my little brother's birthday today. He is turning eighteen, and we have this little tradition with his birthday cake, and I better tell him that sis is still coming.
"Hey Pudding, how are you," ask Daddy, and before I can answer, "We were wondering if Derek and you will be here soon?"
"Daddy, tell Tyler I will be at his party and save some booze for me. Will be there as soon as I'm done with someone; I mean something okay." I said, giggling nervously like if something funny was going on.
"Okay darling, don't be too long,' he instructs. "Remember, Pumpkin. I love you."
So I then snap back to the moment outside on my friend's sidewalk with rain seemly getting colder. Finish walking towards her front door, knocking on it, and waiting for her to come. I wait and wait and wait, so I call her up, and she answers.
"Hey, girl, what's up?" she asked me on the phone.
"Oh nothing, I am at your front door. Could I come in," I asked her?
"Your what," she shouts out?!
"Yea, I said I am at your front door. Are you going to let me in? Come on, it is raining cats and dogs out here," I said.
"Yeah, in a minute, I will be there," she says. I hang up the phone, and then I take a deep breath. I twist my ring one last time, and then I take it off and hold it in my hand. She opens up the door, and she is in a f*****g robe. What a b***h.
"Hey, girl, I had no idea you would be over here. What's up," she asked?
"I tell you what's up. WE ARE FINISHED b***h" I shouted out loud.
I can feel a knife cutting me deep. Damn my very own best friend and my husband.
I smiled at her and then handed her my ring and said, "Here this is for you. Please tell Derek to go and f**k himself when he is done with you. I am so done with him. It's alright, and you can have him. I AM SO DONE WITH HIM."
I was talking loud enough that my lousy husband could hear me as I looked past Jamie's shoulders, wondering if coward would poke out his head. Then I looked back at her and smiled again. She stood stunned. While I was walking away, I threw back my middle finger at her face. Then I hopped into my car got ready to drive away. That's when I noticed my husband looking out the window like a sad little puppy. I flashed my smiled at him and blew him a kiss. Then flip him the bird and mouth, "f**k You, Asshole," as I drove away.
I only shed one tear for us on the way to Tyler's party. I had a feeling he had been cheating on me for years now. I cried non-stop for months now and now had no more tears left, finely feeling free. After a quick clean-up, I'm ready to party, eat some cake, spend time with my family and people who love me.
When I got there, Derek's best friend ran over to me as I got out of my car.
"Bells, wait, please wait," Louis said hurriedly as he tried to catch his breath.
What can I say? These little legs move fast!
"WHAT?" I shouted out to Louise.
"What is going on? While are you angry?" he asked with a genuine puzzlement to his voice.
"Because... my husband is f*****g my best friend," I said brokenly.
"Ooh, f**k. Come here, Bells. I am here for you."
I run into his arms and hug him.
"Thank you, Louis," I said in a defeated whisper.
"It's is my pleasure sweetheart, Derek is dumbass for cheating on the most kind, unselfish, sexiest creature that I had ever seen. I am not playing either Bell. You are smoking. You're pretty then, Jamie." he says.
I just looked up at him from his chest.
"Really?" I asked.
He looks down at me and raises my chin towards him. He smiles.
"Really," he whispers towards my lips.
We kept looking into each other's eyes when I heard a growl right behind us.
I looked back, and Derek, with bloodshot eyes, was storming towards us.
I stood there frozen. I was not moving away from Louis.
Then I heard my husband say.
"Bella Franklin, what do you think you are doing with my best friend," he demanded.
"Nothing, you ass, I just need a hug," I shot back.
"Why baby, I love you. Let's go home so we can talk about this," he pleaded.
"No, I am done talking. Every time we talk, you either lie, make excuses, or you have to leave to do this or do that. No more. Now my eyes are open. I am done trying."
"No, baby, please just let me explain, okay?" he insistence.
"What I am going to do is grab ahold of Louis here. We are going to my brother's birthday party, and I am going to stay at my parent's house tonight."
While we turned to walk away shoulder to shoulder, I noticed Derek was clenching his fists.
"Well, I guess he is getting his now. He thought I was dumb, weak… Well, I tell you what Louis I am not." I said determinedly under my breath but loud enough for Louis to hear.
"You are correct on that baby girl, and you are a smart one, Bells.'
I can hear my husband, I mean soon-to-be ex-husband, shouting with a demoralized voice, "Bella, my life, please come back so we can talk this out."
"Well, you should have had kept d**k cleaned, and it only in me. You asshole," I storm back, blaring so everyone at the party could hear it.
I turned back around and finished walking to the mansion of my childhood home.
I could see Louis smirking from the corner of my eye while walking hand in hand with me into the house.
