Yes, my friends, the title says it all. I was hoping to make up for it with this sexy pic tho. :D
No? It didn't work??? WELL CRAP! Looks like i'm gonna have to explain...
Turns out, school starting was just a little bit more time-consuming than i'd originally planned.
No worries, though, as I spent like ALL DAY yesterday working on "Like We Never Loved At All."
Hence, this little preview here. It's not much, but I hope it'll hold you over for the next few weeks--probably b/c I can't really promise any posts anytime soon, especially considering my sister is getting married in just a few weeks and i'm the maid of honor.
HOW DARE I??? I KNOW! lol.
I also wanted to let you guys know that I have an alternate epilogue on my profile on fanfiction for Dracula's Guest. If you dislike Jacob, you'll very much like this one. Plus, in the good-ole words of my English teacher, "It has sex so you'll find it very interesting."
Yes, she says these things. She's also a former actress. And not a crappy one, either. She was in the actor's union which is like just about as high as you can go. She plans to do it again when she retires.
And my math teacher was an extra on the "abduction" set and got to meet and shake Taylor Lautner's hand.
So, yeah, my teachers are pretty cool this year. Apart from science, of course, because no science teacher is really that cool. haha.
Anyhoo, here is the preview. And yes, Rosalie is her friend in this story as well. If you don't like her, suck it up. :D

“Bella Cullen?!?!” A surprised voice asked from behind me.
I winced. Did nobody around here understand that I was divorced??
I turned and gave a fake smile. “Hey, Lauren.”
It was sort of pitiful how she hadn’t lost that nasally voice of hers in all these years. I mean, seriously. That was just ridiculous.
“Oh My Gosh! Jessica like totally told me you were back but you know her and I just totally didn’t believe her! Wow! And with Sean Wilson no less!” She took a step closer to me and in return I took a step away. “You are just totally so freaking pretty! I mean they say ugly people can get prettier with age and all but…” She shook her head. “Just wow.”
I had to literally clutch the jar of jelly I’d just taken off the shelf to refrain from punching her. Or maybe I’d shove the Jelly jar in my ears to drown out her voice.
I just nodded nicely and placed the jar I was clutching into the car slowly, careful not to smash it down.
Something about her always just rubbed me the wrong way.
“Have you seen Edward since you’ve come back into town?”
Her question snapped me out of my reverie, well, in reality his name did.
She kept rambling on despite the tortured expression I’m sure I wore at the moment. She didn’t even acknowledge that I hadn’t answered.
“I mean, he was just so nasty after you left, you know, I mean…he’ll always be like—gorgeous but he looked like crap after you left. Why did you leave, anyway? I mean, everyone’s always saying that Edward fu—“
“Lauren.” Said a voice from behind me. The name dripped off of the familiar tongue like acid, almost snake-like.
I smiled so wide I thought my cheeks would hurt as I turned around and pulled Rosalie into a warm embrace.
“Hey, Rose!” I said in relief as she gave me a hard squeeze.
“Hey, Bells!” She smiled at me sweetly before turning to Lauren and glaring.
Lauren looked like she might choke on her own tongue.
“You can go, now.” Rosalie dismissed her, and I had to smother a laugh at the shocked look on Lauren’s face before she turned and walked away without uttering a goodbye.
“Alright,” I said, astonished. “You have to teach me how you do that.”
She grinned and reached behind me for a jar of hot fudge. “Emmett.” She explained comically as she but it down in the basket hanging on her arm.
“You see,” she began, “It’s all in the eyes. Little bitches like her are so insecure about their own lives that they gossip about other people, like you and I. Who actually have lives.” She rolled her eyes and blew on her perfectly manicured fingers. “All you gotta do is stare ‘em down. They’re pussies. All of them.”
I laughed aloud. “I always knew there was a reason I liked you, Rosalie Hale.”
She just grinned. “I’m actually on my way to grab a bite to eat. Wanna come with?”
I smiled at her. “Sure, just let me finish up here.”

Now I know what all of you are thinking. Who the hell is Sean Wilson? Turns out I REALLY wasn't feeling Jacob being the "Other Guy" in this story. I'm really sick of that. So I made some kid up. :D
Don't worry, you all know i'm a HEA kind of girl. (That stands for Happily Ever After in case you're mentally challenged at things like that like I am. haha)
For now, my friends. Feel free to send me a message and ask me question on any one of my accounts. I WILL get to you eventually.
Thank you for taking the time to check out my boring blog. haha.
Until Next Time...
