13-He's Proposing

Bella's POV

Three days...

Seventy-two hours...

Four thousand, three hundred and twenty minutes...

Two hundred and fifty nine thousand, two hundred seconds ago...

he broke up with me... I've been crying, for those hours, minutes and seconds I haven't slept...

I'm messed up...

I picked myself up from my bed which I've technically been chained to for those hours, minutes and seconds.

I walked to my bathroom, I washed my face and brushed my teeth and took a quick bath. After my bath, I changed into my white uniform and blue jean shorts, picked up my bag and headed for work.

It's the first time I'd be going to work after three days. The day Adrian broke up with me I asked Liana to cover for me, though she didn't want to, she just had to.

I walked to the bus station, this has actually become a habit for me, since I got so used to walking to the bus station everyday when  my dad was still using my car, I decided to walk to the bus station everyday though I have my car now. It really distracts me from Adrian.

I arrived at the bus station and took the bus that goes to Santa Ana, I sat at the back beside the window. Resting my head on the window, I tried to sleep and forget Adrian.

We finally arrived at the diner, I got off the bus and smiled at Rose's diner, I missed this place.

I'm finally back!

I walked in, greeted by the warm smell of coffee and pastries. I missed that.

Everyone stared at me, a lot of happy stares, some surprised stares and I didn't miss Stella's wrathful gaze at me.

I know she hates me and all, but can't she be  happy that her number one archenemy is back, though I'm sure she has thousands.

I smiled, trying to mask the pain I was currently feeling. No one except Ashton and Jessie knew why I wasn't at work for the past three days, even Matt didn't know and I wasn't planning to tell him or anyone else.

I walked to my duty post, trying to keep a straight face. I smiled at the first customer that came, and began preparing her order.

This is gonna be a long day....

...

Today was a very hectic day, maybe the universe hates me. My boyfriend breaks up with me and then a thousand customers decide to show up at work today, someone please kill me.

"You're finally back, I didn't like the replacement" Matt complained standing beside me, resting on the countertop.

"Yeah, I'm back!" I said with a bit of enthusiasm.

"Why'd you leave work?" Matt asked, staring at me.

"Just needed to settle some family issues" I lied, trying to look normal.

"Oh you don't have to talk about it" He said with a smile.

"So... I'm hanging out with a few friends—" He said, but was cut of by a squealing Jessie.

She walked up to us and pulled me away, I gave Matt an apologetic smile and in return he nodded, I turned back to Jessie who pulled me into the staff lounge.

"What is it?" I asked as soon as she stopped screaming.

"You're back finally! Oh my god! I have a lot of news! A lot of things happened while you were gone! I'm sorry about Adrian" I could have handled all the screaming and noise, but why did she have to mention Adrian.

I haven't heard his name since yesterday when Liana was insulting him, She just had to mention his name.

"It's fine, please let's not talk about him, don't even speak his name" I said, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall.

"Sure" She said sympathetically, "by the way, a lot has happened! I missed you and Liana was so fun, but I still missed you!" She exclaimed.

"I'm glad you liked her, a lot of people have been saying otherwise"

"Guess what?" She said with a grin while wiggling her eyebrows.

"Oh my gosh! Did he?" I asked, my eyes wide open. She nodded playfully at me.

"I can't believe Spencer finally did it!" I smiled at her, when my boyfriend broke up with me, my friends got boyfriends.

I know the universe hates me, but why does it have to be so hard on me!

"And I think you should secure your guy, 'cause stella has been flirting with someone and that someone is starting to give in" She winked at me, immediately I got her message.

For some reason unknown to me, she ships me and Ashton. Two people who hate each other don't go together!

I know people say opposites attract, but that only exists in physics.

"He's not my man, and I don't care about Stella flirting with him" I confirmed.

"Sure" She said with disbelief.

...

I paid for my vanilla and chocolate cupcake, and started eating it.

To say I was hungry was an understatement. I am so hungry, I could eat a horse. But as always the only thing I can have is coffee and cake until I get home.

Poor me..

I finished the chocolate cupcake, not leaving a single crumb of cake.

I'm so hungry, screw me for wanting to become a vegetarian!

That's right, after all my wallowing in misery. I decided to become a vegetarian.

You're probably wondering how a break up is making me become a vegetarian. Well, I weighed myself the other day and I weighed- a hundred and twenty-one pounds, and that is really bad.

I'm becoming fat! Maybe that's why Adrian broke up with me. I know I shouldn't care what people think about me, but I can't get fat that's bad. So now I'm a vegetarian, I'm not eating meat only veggies, I've also taken it upon myself to workout every Saturday and also I don't eat sweets and chocolates anymore, after today.

I know, I'm trying to kill myself but it's not my fault.

Imagine eating only veggies like, cabbage, broccoli, pickles!  Eww I hate pickles!

Ugh! My life is so messed up...

I can't wait to see my mom's face when she finds out that I'm becoming a vegetarian, she's gonna be so happy, because she knows how much I hate veggies.

Whenever we have veggies and pasta for dinner, I only eat the pasta. Veggies are disgusting! I wonder how vegetarians eat them.

I greeted my last customer for today goodbye and began packing my things, I was about to leave when Stella stopped me.

She was smirking, "you're finally back, I heard Adrian dumped you. I'm so sorry" She pouted.

This is that moment where I'd just want to sink into the ground.

I trusted the dog head  with my secret and the next thing he blurted it out to his girlfriend a.k.a my foe.

"Thanks for showing some sympathy, though it wasn't needed" I said, walking away.

She pulled my arm, and pulled me back in front of her. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and smiled.

"I'm not done with you" She said, wait she thinks she can boss me around, because her beloved boyfriend is suddenly giving her some attention.

"Leave me alone, or else" I said.

"Or else what?" Oh she grew some balls to question my threat.

"You'll stuff the straw up my nose? I thought you only did that to turtles" She smirked.

This is not the Stella I knew three days ago, where'd she get the nerve.

"It's not my fault you look like one" I'm sorry poor turtles, they're probably mad at me. I'm Bella, I never lose a fight.

"Animal hurter" She spat.

"I don't have time to wrangle with you, I've got better things to do" I said leaving her in the middle of the diner.

"Greet your friends at slutville for me" She said just as I was about to walk out.

I would have said something, but I'll just ignore her childish acts.

...

"Yeah and a veggies bowl" I ordered.

After work I decided to go to a restaurant and officially start being a vegetarian.

I know it's stupid, but I'm eighteen I can't do whatever I want.

I grabbed the polythene bag from the waiter and turned around and walked towards the door, I stopped when I almost hit someone.

"Sorry" The person muttered, that voice, I know that voice. The voice of the traitor.

"Oh Fancy to see you here Ashton" I smiled sarcastically.

"You too, Bella" He said, it's the first time he'd ever mentioned my name.

"Woah! Since when we're we on first name basics?" I asked, stunned.

"Since when you cried on my shoulder about the jerk you called your boyfriend" He said.

"Ex boyfriend, and why did you tell Stella about it?" I asked.

"She claimed she was worried about you and didn't know where you were, so I  told her. Besides you guys are pretty good friends" He said, he's such a dumbapple.

I absolutely despise Stella and her slutty best friend Becky.

"If you must know, I hate and by hate I mean despise, loathe, detest, abhor, if I knew any other word for hate I'd mention it. That's what I feel for Stella and her sluttish best friend Becky" I said with distaste.

"Oh I'm sorry" He said casually.

"I haven't forgiven you," I said, folding my hands on my chest.

"What shall I do to make my beautiful queen forgive me?" He asked with a playful grin. He just called me beautiful. I blushed foolishly smiling at him.

"How about, you get down on your knees and beg" I suggested, I'm pretty sure he's not gonna do it.

Surprisingly, he got down on one knee, playfully smiling at me, while my mouth hung open.

People were starting to look at us in awe, that only made me blush.

"What the hell  are you doing?" I whispered, but he kept smiling at me and took my hand and  kissed the back of my palm.

That did it, my stomach was about to explode. I'm sure my face was as red as an apple.

Everybody in the restaurant was looking at us, he looked like he was proposing to me, here I was foolishly blushing not knowing what to do.

Someone please save me...
