I used to make a fuss about it at first , but later I came to understand my place . All that remained was numbness . I sat on the cold tiles , unknowingly drifting off to sleep . When I woke up , Jacob was sitting on the sofa smoking , looking at the wedding dress on the couch with obvious irritation . Why arent you sleeping in the bedroom ? Whats wrong with you sitting here ? You nearly scared me to death when I came in . He frowned at my swollen eyes . Its just a fake wedding , isnt it ? It was fake anyway , we can make it up to you later . Are you never going to let this go ? As he finished speaking , Bella walked in with a bag of breakfast , using her own key . All my vulnerability was suddenly exposed . Seeing the tense atmosphere between Jacob and me , Bella spoke innocently : Im so sorry , Aurelia .
