A/N: And things finally start to move on where I want them to. I don't own Twilight or 'Last to Know' by Three Days Grace. I just thought it appropriate and wanted to give Bella a cool job. Enjoy.
Chapter 7 – Graduation
Bella smiled as she waited in line with her fellow graduates. She was finally here. She was finally graduating. She'd reached the end of her high school years and had nothing but the future ahead of her.
Of course while the rest of her peers decided on university or work, where they were going to live, if they were going to move or stay in Forks, Bella already had her future planned out.
Which was another point. While the rest of her peers had another 80 years max, Bella had the rest of eternity. Or at least another 200 years before another vampire killed her, provided she didn't piss one off before then.
'Been there, done that.' She thought with a smirk, thinking of Edward.
When the golden boy finds out about her decision to be with Alice both girls knew he was going to flip out and try to murder someone, most likely Alice.
"Isabella Swan." The principle called.
Bella walked up as Charlie and Alice cheered.
"Go Bella!"
'Oh hell. Jacob fucking Black.'
Jacob had been making a nuisance of himself in the last month hitting on Bella any time she appeared in public. He'd leaned not to visit the house when he showed up, make a fool of himself making comments about rich people and their houses, and then preceded to rant about how she'd obviously lost her mind after Edward left and that she wasn't a freak dyke light 'that Cullen bitch' before declaring she was in love with him and trying to kiss her.
All in front of Alice and Charlie.
Bella wasn't sure who was more furious; herself at Jacobs ridiculous claims on her mental state along with the insult to Alice (and herself since she had decided she was firmly in the gay category), Alice at the insult and his attempt to kiss Bella (who she had quite clearly marked as her by the love bites on her neck and collar bone) or Charlie at the clear insults to his daughter and to Alice (who her thought of as a daughter-in-law) and the fact Jacob had tried to kiss a girl against her will (Charlie was old-fashioned and a gallant gentleman after all).
Needless to say Jacob hadn't been welcome in either the Cullen or the Sawn residences since.
'Probably why he's here. It's the only place he can get anywhere near me and not have Alice or Charlie kill him.'
Charlie had literally thrown Jacob out of the Cullen house with a "don't ever go anywhere near my daughter again!" that both Alice and Bella had found hilarious, after they stopped fuming at what had made Charlie do it in the first place.
Jacob had been lucky Bella didn't break her diet and kill him.
She'd certainly considered it.
Taking her certificate she purposefully ignored the jerk as she took her place by Alice's side, her hand intertwining with the pixie's own, and watched as the last of the students got theirs.
Charlie was beaming proudly from his seat as they threw their caps.
Not 10 minutes later they were all gossiping about their futures.
"Bella! What are you doing with your future now Edwards left you?" Jessica asked.
Bella and Alice both sighed. Jessica was still jealous that Bella had got Edward 'the god' Cullen and was more than happy he had left her.
"To be honest I'm still thanking every entity I can think of that he's gone. Worst boyfriend ever. But to answer you question Alice and I are traveling. We're going to London on Monday. Paris is in the works next year maybe. We're skipping university for a while. Alice has already got a job with Gucci for while we're traveling. She's an amazing designer." Belle answered with an adoring smile at Alice.
"You forgot to mention you sold that song to Three Days Grace. She wrote this song called 'Last to Know' and sold it to this big band. She's starting to make a name for her song writing." Alice added.
"Hold up! Three Day's Grace? Like the awesome as band? You wrote a song for them?" Mike quickly asked.
He had a look of absolute awe on his face.
"I love them! Their so great. I went to one of their concerts once. Brilliant!" Angela added.
Jessica looked both furious and jealous.
"Plus we bought an apartment in New York to use as a place to come back to when we're traveling. Alice has thought of everything of course. You may be short but you're smart enough to make up the extra height." Bella said with a smirk.
Alice immediately shrieked indignantly.
"You're sleeping on the couch tonight for that! And for the rest of the week! I am not short! I'm height impaired, okay!" she said, pouting.
Bella just cooed at her.
"You're adorable when you're angry. But I'm sorry for the comment. I'll make it up to you." Bella replied.
She wasn't fond of the couch even if she no longer slept. The real issue was if she wasn't allowed in the bed she wasn't allowed sex. And sex with Alice was not something she wanted to be banned on.
"Doubt it." Alice growled, still pouting.
Bella suddenly noticed Jacob making his way over.
"Shit! Quick run! The jerk is coming over!" she mock whispered.
Everyone looked over to see Jacob attempting, and failing, to swagger over.
"Bye guys! Hope to see you again!" Bella quickly said before starting to drag Alice away.
"Wait! Bella!" Jacob called.
"RUN!" Bella yelped, taking off and dragging a laughing Alice with her.
The humans all turned to stare at Jacob who looked crushed.
"She's supposed to love me!" he whined.
They just shook their heads and continued to talk.
Bella closed the boot of Alice's yellow porch as the pixie vampire closed up the house. They were finally on their way out into the world, together.
"So, airport, London, then to the apartment you've got for us without letting me know anything about." Bella said.
Alice just smiled at her.
"Don't worry. You'll love it." She replied.
Bella just rolled her eyes and shadowed into the car.
"Show off." Alice grumbled, opening the car door to climb in.
Bella smirked, glad to have evened things out. If ever something was going a way she didn't like she just shadowed out, leaving Alice to sulk at the admittedly cool and useful power. Alice on the other hand had to stick out a conversation. It was all in good fun though.
Alice slammed the car into drive and shot off at the insane speed Bella now found fun and even a little bit slow.
"You need to let me drive sometime." She decided.
"You must be joking. You're a new born. We'll end up going at 500km/h and defiantly get caught." Alice replied sternly.
Bella just smirked.
"Your going to steal my car aren't you." Alice sighed.
"Totally."
Alice just groaned.
