"Oh oh I'm so so sorry," I apoligised while picking up the papers that I dropped.
The person that I bumped into knelt down and helped me pick them up.
"I should be one to apoligise. I was'nt looking where I was going,"he answered.
I looked up at him and the first thing I noticed was that he had the bluest eyes that I have ever seen. He was well built, had blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail and he must be in his middle 20's at least.
He smiled when I looked at him and it went straight to his eyes. They almost look like they are laughing.
"Thank you sir but I'm afraid that I am late for class," I whispered.
He helped me get to my feet and handed me the papers that he picked up for me.
"No problem miss?"
"Swan, Bella Swan," I answered.
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl," he cooed.
"Thank you but I really must go," I blushed and ran toward my class. I could barely hear him calling after me.
"I hope to see you soon Swan, Bella Swan."

All alone teaser for chapter 10
With a sigh I got up and went into Bella's room; only to find her crying whilst sorting through her clothes. I walked over to her and put my arms around her, giving her a tight hug.
"What's wrong Bells?" I cooed.
I continued to hug her while she cried.
"I-I was g-go-going through m-my cl-clothes and nothing f-fits anymore," she sobbed.
I smiled to myself, knowing what we had to do to rectify this.
"Well then, we have to go shopping and buy you some maternity clothes."
She was about to protest, but I put my hand up to stop her.
"Bella you need new clothes, especially for LA. It’s a new start, new look, new city, new life." I smiled.
Bella looked like she was deeply in thought, so I went in for the kill.
"Please Bella," I begged. She smiled as I continued to beg. I knew that she could never say no to me, so I took advantage of it.
"Ok then," she said.
She started to laugh while I jumped up and down. I was about to tell her to go and get ready when my cell phone rang. I quickly answered it without checking the caller ID.
"Hello" I spoke into the phone.
The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before they spoke.
"Er - Hello Alice, this is erm Edward. Is Bella there with you?" he asked.

All Alone Chapter 9
Chapter 9
EPOV
I was sitting in my comfortable first class seat on my way back to LA, feeling like my heart was about to beat right out of my chest after what had happened with Bella. I knew I’d been an asshole to her but I had to get my point across, no matter what I had to do. I had to make sure that no baby of mine ever come into this world. I couldn't let myself feel that kind of heartbreak again especially after what happened with Emily.
Emily and I had grown up together. She was my first everything but she was also the first and only girl to break my heart. We had our first kiss when we were 13 years old and had sex for the first time when we were 15. It was on my 16th birthday that she broke my heart and I never fully recovered.
I swore from then on that I would never let another girl get close to me and hurt me the way she had, but then Bella came along. The very second I saw her in her white cocktail dress at the party, I had felt a tightness grab at my heart. She looked so beautiful and innocent and I knew that I had to make her mine. I took her virginity selfishly when I knew that I couldn't keep her and now everything is fucked up. She's pregnant and I can’t put myself through that kind of hurt and pain again. She needs to get rid of it. There is no question about it. I can't trust anyone with my heart again, not even an innocent little baby. I leaned back and closed my eyes hoping that I could get the last few days out of my head.
BPOV
"How long will they be?" I asked, putting my right arm over my eyes as I laid back on the bed. Esme looked at Alice and then back at me.
"They said they were just leaving the house, so I'm guessing around ten minutes" she whispered.
At that moment the doorbell rang. My eyes filled with tears just thinking about how disappointed my parents were going to be in me. I wasn't ready to face them just yet, but when the doorbell rang for the second time I knew that my time had run out.
My parents were already sitting on the Cullen’s white leather sofa when I came down the stairs. I had never seen my father looking as angry as he did at this moment, and my mother’s eyes were red and puffy from crying. I felt my heart breaking; knowing that I was the cause of this. Sitting across from them were Esme and Carlisle. Esme looked worried and Carlisle looked nervous. I looked over at my parents and gave them a small smile. When I saw how fierce my dad looked, I quickly cast my eyes down to the floor.
"Hi," I whimpered.
Esme got up, came over to me, and put her arm around my shoulder.
"Why don't you come over and sit down, sweetie," she cooed. I nodded and went over and sat down in the love seat. My father's face turned blood red as he looked at me.
"Bella, I refuse to be the talk of the town! So I need to know what you plan to do next?" My dad stated firmly.
I had never heard him talk like this and I knew that I couldn’t sugar coat what I had to say, so I decided that best thing was to whip off the band aid with one quick swipe.
"I am about 5 weeks pregnant and before you ask if I'm keeping the baby, the answer is yes," I said still not looking my father in the face.
The only sound that I could hear in the room was my mother's sobs. I looked up at my father, only to find the anger rolling off him in waves.
"And how the fuck do you plan on raising a baby? You're only 16 years old. What does the baby's father say about this? That is assuming you know who the father is," my dad snarled.
I broke down in tears, as he continued to throw insults at me until he said the one thing that made me snap.
"You are having an abortion, Isabella," he hissed between his teeth.
I jumped up and pointed at him in the chest.
"I AM NOT HAVING AN ABORTION. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME. I AM SO SICK OF PEOPLE TELLING ME TO KILL MY BABY. DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH ME BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AM I GETTING RID OF MY BABY," I screamed at the top of my lungs.
My father’s face went going from red to purple at this stage. I had never gone against my father before, I had always looked up to him, but this was my baby and nobody was going to take it away from me. Not Edward, not my father, not my mother. Nobody!
"Isabella, you are 16 years old. We are your parents. It doesn't matter what you want or say. You are having an abortion and that is all I'm going to say," he smirked.
I looked over at Esme and Carlisle begging them with my eyes to help me. Carlisle got up and stood on one side of me and Esme stood on the other.
"Charlie, let’s talk about this calmly. Bella told you that she doesn't want to have an abortion. I know that she is underage and it is within your rights to take her to the clinic, but do you really want to force her into killing her child, your grandchild," Carlisle asked him.
My dad looked at my mother and sighed as he looked back at me.
"Isabella, it is your decision," he said calmly, almost too calmly, before adding. "But if you do have the abortion you will have your family to help you through it all but........................"
I looked at my father with tears falling from my eyes and my whole body shaking.
"B-bu-but wh-what d-dad?" I stammered.
My father continued to look at my mother and nodded his head. My mother
lifted her head from her hands, and I could see the tears still fresh in her eyes, and then she spoke for the first time.
"But if y-you keep the ba-baby, you can forget about your family. You will have to leave our home and survive on your own. We won't ha-have anythi-anything more to d-do with y-you," she sniffed.
Suddenly my legs gave out below me and everything went black.

APOV
I felt completely helpless, as I watched my best friend leave my room to go speak with her parents who were in my living room. I knew how protective her father was, but I also knew that he didn’t like to be subject of town gossip, especially when it was about his family. I needed to be there for my friend while she talks to them, in some way. So I sat on the stairs and listened in on their conversation.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Charlie Swan, the man who always swore to protect her and love her above all else was trying to force her into an abortion. I tried to set my mind at ease by telling myself that he was only upset and worried, until I heard her mother talking.
I jumped up and was halfway down the stairs when I heard a loud thump and my mother screaming.
"Bella"!!!
I ran into the living room to find Bella passed out on the floor. My mother was kneelt down next to her, my dad looked furious, but Bella's parents were simply standing there looking down at her. My dad walked over to them and looked at Charlie.
"I think that it would be best if you leave, and don't worry about Bella because she has a family here that will love her and the baby. We will stand by her and support her. Alice and Esme will be over tomorrow to collect her belongings," he hissed between his teeth.
But Bella's father didn't look intimidated, he stood his ground as he looked at my dad.
"My daughter will do the right thing. There is no way that she will choose anything else over her own family. She will be back home soon and then we can put this whole ugly mess behind us," he smirked and left with Bella's mother following close behind silently crying.
Dad looked furious but quickly calmed down has he lifted Bella up off the floor and laid her down on the sofa.
"Daddy, will she be alright?" I cried.
He nodded.
"She'll be fine. She will wake up as soon as she is ready," he told me. He got up and I sat down in the place he had vacated. My parents left the room and I started talking to Bella.
"Bella you’re my best friend, I love you, and I’ll be here for you no matter what. I will be by your side through it all. It is you and me against the world," I sniffed.
My parents came back in the room, my father sat down on the sofa opposite to me and my mom wiped Bella's face with a cold compress, telling her that everything was alright.
"Alice, your mother and I have agreed that Bella should stay here with us, and that we will support her and the baby. Are you alright with that?" my dad asked.
I couldn't help the excitement that came over me. I jumped off the couch and gave then a hug whilst jumping up and down on the spot.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you," I squealed.
My mom started laughing at my excitement and my dad joined in as I continued to hug them both. They were just about to say something else when I heard Bella.
"Esme"
She slowly opened her eyes to look at me and my mother and asked.
"What happened?"
BPOV
I was sitting in the middle of a crowded ballroom with my parents. My dad kept shouting so that he could be heard over the crowd.
"You’re nothing but a stupid little girl. How can you look after a child? You’re only a child yourself," my dad screamed. I then heard a smooth velvety voice behind me. I turned around to look into the amazing green eyes of Edward Masen.
"You think that you can have a child Bella. How can you when there is nobody who will support you. Your parents don't want it and I don't want that thing growing inside of you. So do everyone a favour and get rid of it," he spat.
I slowly sat down on the floor and wrapped my arms around my legs as I rocked back and forth.
"No no no no NO !!!"
"I don't care what you say. I'm going to love my baby no matter what. It doesn't need any of you," I cried as I continued to rock back and forth. Everyone around me started laughing.
"Stupid girl!"
"I pity her."
"She doesn't know what she is getting into."
I then heard the one voice that always calmed me.
"Bella, we will take care of you. We love you. Everything will be alright," I heard Esme say from far away.
I looked around for my second mother but I couldn't find her. I could still hear her. I closed my eyes willing for all of this to go away.
I slowly opened my eyes and found myself looking into the eyes of my best friend and her mother.
"What happened?" I asked.
Esme started wiping my face with a cold cloth.
"You fainted sweetie. But don't worry about a thing, we are here for you," she cooed.
I looked around the living room and the only people I could see were: Esme, Carlisle and Alice.
"Where are mom and dad," I asked, already knowing the answer. Esme was about to answer when the phone rang.
"Hello," Carlisle answered. He paused while the other person spoke.
"Yeah hold on," he said.
"Alice, it's Angela," he said handing the phone over.
"WHAT," she squealed, almost busting my eardrums.
"Dad, turn on the entertainment channel. They are talking about Bella," she screamed hanging up the phone.
Carlisle picked up the remote control and switched it to the entertainment channel. There on the screen was a picture of Edward Masen and they were talking about me.
"A source of ours has stated that actor Edward Masen has allegedly got a small town girl from Forks, Washington pregnant. Witnesses at the small town’s diner reported seeing Masen and the girl in a heated discussion about what they were going to do about the birth of the baby".
"Here is Jane Murphy, who is at Forks diner with the details."
A petite woman with blonde hair and blue eyes came on the screen.
"Thank you Rebecca. I'm standing here outside Forks diner, the place where just earlier today heartthrob Edward Masen confronted local girl Isabella Swan, who is only 16 years old, about being pregnant with his child. It is reported that Isabella met Masen when she won tickets to the premiere of BITE in Seattle. Witnesses said that Edward wasn't exactly jumping up and down with joy at the thought of becoming a father.
She then started to interview some of the locals, asking them what they thought about it. I was about to ask Carlisle to turn it off when I saw Lauren Mallory come onto the screen to be interviewed.
"Bella Swan is known as the slut of Forks High. It doesn't take a lot for her to drop her panties. Bella planned to seduce Edward Masen. Infact, she boasted before she left for the premiere that there was no way that he would be able to resist her," she smirked.
Jane took the microphone from her.
"Well there you have it. Is Isabella Swan an innocent girl who got trapped or did she plan the pregnancy? Back to you Rebecca," she said.
Carlisle got up and turned off the TV. I buried my face into my hands and cried. I was going to be the laughing stock of Forks. I didn't know what to do. My parents had thrown me out and now there was no way I could go back to school.
"Come on Bella, let’s get you upstairs to bed. Things won't look so bad in morning", Esme cooed, as Carlisle lifted me in his arms and carried me to my room. I didn't have the energy to change out of my clothes and fell into a troubled sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AA~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The last few weeks had passed in a blur. I was now known as the town slut. Every day was the same. All I did was wake up, shower, get dressed, go to school, come home, do homework, dinner and go to bed. But the day that hurt me the most was the day I had gone to my parent’s house to collect my stuff with Alice.
Flashback
Alice parked the car outside my parent’s house and turned off the engine.
"Okay, let’s get this over with," she said taking off her seat belt and opening the car door. I got out and walked up the foot path to the front door. I was too scared to let myself in, so instead I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps and then the door was opened by a very worried looking Alec. I love my twin brother and hated the fact that I was causing him so much pain.
"Hey sis! I take it that you’ve came for your stuff," he stated sadly.
My heart went out to him, as I knew he was stuck in the middle. Alec and I had always had a special bond. When one of us hurt, the other one would hurt too.
"Yeah"
I was afraid that I would break down if I give any more then one word answers. He nodded and stood aside to let us in.
"Dad is at the bar and mum is at the grocery store. She'll be back soon." he warned me. I nodded and walked upstairs to my bedroom. Alice went into my bathroom and started packing my tolietress. I was packing my books into a box when I heard the front door slam. 5 minutes later my mother walked in to my room. She stood there at the door glaring at me.
"Are you finished yet? I have to do dinner for my family," she sneered. My eyes filled with tears when I saw the fury in her eyes.
"Why mum, why are you doing this to me"?
"Because you cant live here anymore." She said and stood up just a bit straighter.
"Mom." I started but I couldn't even finish, my mouth was open but nothing was coming out.
"Your father wont have it." She tried to explain, but this was un explainable, this was outrageous, and totally un fair. I expected them to be hurt but not this
"You cant just disown me!" I yelled, my hands shaking.
"Stop that!" She yelled back, but I couldn't calm myself.
"No, this is not fair!" I shouted and my hands went to my stomach absentmindedly. Her eyes followed.
"No Isabella this!" She pointed at my stomach "isn't fair!"
"You want a baby, you want to get pregnant and be responsible, well then you need to leave my house." Mum growled.
"That's not what I want! I don't want a baby but I have no choice in the matter!" I cried, my hand clutching my stomach
Alice came in and put her arm around my shoulder while looking at my mom with hate filled eyes.
"Come on Bella. I will come back with my mother to get the rest of your things," she said walking me out to the car.
End flashback
That was a month ago. I am now 9 weeks pregnant. I suffer from fierce morning sickness. I'm known as the slut of the school. All the guys in Forks high think that I'm a sure thing because I'm pregnant. On top of all that I feel like Alice, Esme and Carlisle are keeping something from me. Every time I walk into a room they are talking about something but they stop the very second that they see me.
Knock Knock !!!
Esme stuck her head in the door.
"Hey sweetie. How are you feeling?"
I gave a small nod and lay back on my bed.
"I'm fine Esme," I answered. She gave a small nod and smile.
"Bella, could you please come to the living room. There is something that we would like to talk to you about," she asked.
I sighed and got up off the bed and followed her to the living room. Alice was sitting on the love seat and Carlisle was sitting on the couch opposite her. Both Carlisle and Esme looked nervous and Alice refused to look at me. She just sat there looking down at her hands and playing with her fingers.
Carlisle looked up at me and smiled.
"Bella, we know how hard a time you are having in Forks so myself and Esme have decided to do something about it." He looked at Esme before continuing.
"We have spoken to Esme's brother Eleazar and his wife Carmen in LA. We think that you should go and live with them for a while," he whispered.
I can't believe what I was hearing. They wanted to get rid of me. Nobody wants me.
"Y-Yo-You want t-to ge-get rid of m-me," I cried. Esme stood up and came over to my side. She took both my hands into hers and looked me in the eyes.
"No sweetheart. Never. I'm sorry that we blurted it out like that. Please let me explain. We see how rough it is for you here so we looked into other opions. After checking out different schools to help you we came across City of angels school in LA. It has a wonderful teen mother's program. I spoke to my brother and he decided to let you and Alice come and stay with him and his wife," she whimpered.
I looked up and looked over at Alice.
A- Al-Alice is com-coming," I sniffed. Alice got up and pulled me in for a hug.
"Of course I'm coming. You don't think that you are going to get rid of me that easily," she squeaked. I started getting excited at the thought of leaving this place with my best friend when a thought came to my head.
"What about my parents? They are not going let me go so easily," I asked.
Esme looked over at Carlisle with a twinkle in her eyes.
"You do know that your parents where not going to give up on you having a abortion and we also needed to get Edward Masen to stop bothering you so we told your parents that we are sending you to a home in Seattle for unwed mothers so that they could arrange an adoption," she laughed. Her laugh was contagious as I started laughing with her.
I then thought of Alice and Jasper. Surely Edward will find out from Jasper about what was happening. Alice looked at me as if she knew what I was thinking.
"Don't worry Bells. I'm already told Jasper that I needed to be there for you. So we decided that we will keep in touch through skype, email and phone calls," she smiled. A big fat tear escaped from eyes. I throughly have the greatest friend a girl could ask for. I looked around the room and felt safe and loved for the first time since all this started. I pulled Esme and Carlisle into a bear hug each. After I hugged them for a few minutes, I pulled back and asked
"When do we leave?"

"Hello," Carlisle answered. He paused while the other person spoke.
"Yeah hold on," he said.
"Alice, it's Angela," he said handing the phone over.
"WHAT," she squealed, almost busting my eardrums.
"Dad, turn on the entertainment channel. They are talking about Bella," she screamed hanging up the phone.
Carlisle picked up the remote control and switched it to the entertainment channel. There on the screen was a picture of Edward Masen and they were talking about me.
"A source of ours has stated that actor Edward Masen has allegedly got a small town girl from Forks, Washington pregnant. Witnesses at the small town’s diner reported seeing Masen and the girl in a heated discussion about what they were going to do about the birth of the baby".
"Here is Jane Murphy, who is at Forks diner with the details."
A petite woman with blonde hair and blue eyes came on the screen.
"Thank you Rebecca. I'm standing here outside Forks diner, the place where just earlier today heartthrob Edward Masen confronted local girl Isabella Swan, who is only 16 years old, about being pregnant with his child. It is reported that Isabella met Masen when she won tickets to the premiere of BITE in Seattle. Witnesses said that Edward wasn't exactly jumping up and down with joy at the thought of becoming a father.
She then started to interview some of the locals, asking them what they thought about it. I was about to ask Carlisle to turn it off when I saw Lauren Mallory come onto the screen to be interviewed.
"Bella Swan is known as the slut of Forks High. It doesn't take a lot for her to drop her panties. Bella planned to seduce Edward Masen. Infact, she boasted before she left for the premiere that there was no way that he would be able to resist her," she smirked.
Jane took the microphone from her.
"Well there you have it. Is Isabella Swan an innocent girl who got trapped or did she plan the pregnancy? Back to you Rebecca," she said.
Carlisle got up and turned off the TV. I buried my face into my hands and cried. I was going to be the laughing stock of Forks. I didn't know what to do. My parents had thrown me out and now there was no way I could go back to school.
"Come on Bella, let’s get you upstairs to bed. Things won't look so bad in morning", Esme cooed, as Carlisle lifted me in his arms and carried me to my room. I didn't have the energy to change out of my clothes and fell into a troubled sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AA~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The last few weeks had passed in a blur. I was now known as the town slut. Every day was the same. All I did was wake up, shower, get dressed, go to school, come home, do homework, dinner and go to bed. But the day that hurt me the most was the day I had gone to my parent’s house to collect my stuff with Alice.
Flashback
Alice parked the car outside my parent’s house and turned off the engine.
"Okay, let’s get this over with," she said taking off her seat belt and opening the car door. I got out and walked up the foot path to the front door. I was too scared to let myself in, so instead I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps and then the door was opened by a very worried looking Alec. I love my twin brother and hated the fact that I was causing him so much pain.
"Hey sis! I take it that you’ve came for your stuff," he stated sadly.
My heart went out to him, as I knew he was stuck in the middle. Alec and I had always had a special bond. When one of us hurt, the other one would hurt too.
"Yeah"
I was afraid that I would break down if I give any more then one word answers. He nodded and stood aside to let us in.
"Dad is at the bar and mum is at the grocery store. She'll be back soon." he warned me. I nodded and walked upstairs to my bedroom. Alice went into my bathroom and started packing my tolietress. I was packing my books into a box when I heard the front door slam. 5 minutes later my mother walked in to my room. She stood there at the door glaring at me.
"Are you finished yet? I have to do dinner for my family," she sneered. My eyes filled with tears when I saw the fury in her eyes.
"Why mum, why are you doing this to me"?
"Because you cant live here anymore." She said and stood up just a bit straighter.
"Mom." I started but I couldn't even finish, my mouth was open but nothing was coming out.
"Your father wont have it." She tried to explain, but this was un explainable, this was outrageous, and totally un fair. I expected them to be hurt but not this
"You cant just disown me!" I yelled, my hands shaking.
"Stop that!" She yelled back, but I couldn't calm myself.
"No, this is not fair!" I shouted and my hands went to my stomach absentmindedly. Her eyes followed.
"No Isabella this!" She pointed at my stomach "isn't fair!"
"You want a baby, you want to get pregnant and be responsible, well then you need to leave my house." Mum growled.
"That's not what I want! I don't want a baby but I have no choice in the matter!" I cried, my hand clutching my stomach
Alice came in and put her arm around my shoulder while looking at my mom with hate filled eyes.
"Come on Bella. I will come back with my mother to get the rest of your things," she said walking me out to the car.
End flashback
That was a month ago. I am now 9 weeks pregnant. I suffer from fierce morning sickness. I'm known as the slut of the school. All the guys in Forks high think that I'm a sure thing because I'm pregnant. On top of all that I feel like Alice, Esme and Carlisle are keeping something from me. Every time I walk into a room they are talking about something but they stop the very second that they see me.
Knock Knock !!!
Esme stuck her head in the door.
"Hey sweetie. How are you feeling?"
I gave a small nod and lay back on my bed.
"I'm fine Esme," I answered. She gave a small nod and smile.
"Bella, could you please come to the living room. There is something that we would like to talk to you about," she asked.
I sighed and got up off the bed and followed her to the living room. Alice was sitting on the love seat and Carlisle was sitting on the couch opposite her. Both Carlisle and Esme looked nervous and Alice refused to look at me. She just sat there looking down at her hands and playing with her fingers.
Carlisle looked up at me and smiled.
"Bella, we know how hard a time you are having in Forks so myself and Esme have decided to do something about it." He looked at Esme before continuing.
"We have spoken to Esme's brother Eleazar and his wife Carmen in LA. We think that you should go and live with them for a while," he whispered.
I can't believe what I was hearing. They wanted to get rid of me. Nobody wants me.
"Y-Yo-You want t-to ge-get rid of m-me," I cried. Esme stood up and came over to my side. She took both my hands into hers and looked me in the eyes.
"No sweetheart. Never. I'm sorry that we blurted it out like that. Please let me explain. We see how rough it is for you here so we looked into other opions. After checking out different schools to help you we came across City of angels school in LA. It has a wonderful teen mother's program. I spoke to my brother and he decided to let you and Alice come and stay with him and his wife," she whimpered.
I looked up and looked over at Alice.
A- Al-Alice is com-coming," I sniffed. Alice got up and pulled me in for a hug.
"Of course I'm coming. You don't think that you are going to get rid of me that easily," she squeaked. I started getting excited at the thought of leaving this place with my best friend when a thought came to my head.
"What about my parents? They are not going let me go so easily," I asked.
Esme looked over at Carlisle with a twinkle in her eyes.
"You do know that your parents where not going to give up on you having a abortion and we also needed to get Edward Masen to stop bothering you so we told your parents that we are sending you to a home in Seattle for unwed mothers so that they could arrange an adoption," she laughed. Her laugh was contagious as I started laughing with her.
I then thought of Alice and Jasper. Surely Edward will find out from Jasper about what was happening. Alice looked at me as if she knew what I was thinking.
"Don't worry Bells. I'm already told Jasper that I needed to be there for you. So we decided that we will keep in touch through skype, email and phone calls," she smiled. A big fat tear escaped from eyes. I throughly have the greatest friend a girl could ask for. I looked around the room and felt safe and loved for the first time since all this started. I pulled Esme and Carlisle into a bear hug each. After I hugged them for a few minutes, I pulled back and asked
"When do we leave?"

Teaser for All Alone Chapter 9
Carlisle got up and stood on one side of me and Esme stood on the other.
"Charlie, lets all talk about this calmly. Bella, told you that she doesn't want to get rid of the baby. I know that she is underage and it is within your rights to take her to the clinic but do you really want to force her into killing her child, your grandchild," Carlisle asked him.
My dad looked at my mother and then back at me.
"Isabella, it is your decision.
If you have the abortion then you will have your family to help you through it but........................"
I looked at my father with tears falling from my eyes and my whole body shaking.
" B-Bu-But wh-what d-dad?" I stammered.

All Alone Chapter 8
Chapter 8
BPOV
I was sitting in the middle of a beautiful meadow with all kinds of flowers around me, when I saw the handsome man walking towards me - my Edward. His gorgeous green eyes were sparking and I found myself getting lost in them. He sat down beside me and wrapped his arms around my body.
"Don't cry my Bella" he said lovingly in a soft tone.
He kissed the tears away that were falling down my eyes and looked at me as if I was the only girl in the world.
"I promise you that everything will be alright. It's not the best time for us to have a baby but we will be fine as long as we have each other. Always remember that I love you and nothing else matters," he whispered as he kissed my eyes and went all the way down to my neck.
"Oh I love you Bella," he whimpered into my neck.
"Oh Bella, Bella," he whimpered as he looked into my eyes .
"Bella, Bella, Bella"
"Bella, Bella, can you hear me. If you can will you please open your eyes," Alice pleaded. I slowly opened them, only to look up and find Alice and Esme looking down at me with a worry wrote across both of their faces.
"What happened?" I asked while rubbing my eyes.
Alice looked at Esme and then back at me.
"You fainted when I told you that Edward was on his way here with Jasper," she said.
I attempted to sit up and Alice put her hand out to help me but I told her with my eyes that I was alright.
"When will they be here?" I asked when I finally managed to sit up on the bed.
Alice took a piece of her hair and started twirling it. It was a nervous habit that I knew well.
"Jazz rang me when they left LA, which was like two hours ago and it takes three hours to fly into Port Angeles from LA, so they’ll be landing in about an hour," she said nervously. Suddenly my heart jumped up to my throat and I couldn't breathe.
"I can't face Edward yet Ali. I'm not ready," I whispered in breathless gasps.
Esme sat next to me, took my right hand into hers and lovingly rubbed soothing rings around the palm with her index finger.
"You can do this Bella. You are a strong girl and I have every faith that you will get through this. Just remember that we are here for you and that we love you," she cooed.
Alice sat down on my other side and put her arm around my shoulder. "Why don't you go have a shower so that you can calm down and freshen up. Mom is going to ring your parents and tell them that you are staying here tonight," she said.
I smiled at my best friend and her mother gratefully and got up and headed straight into Alice's bathroom.
APOV
As I watched my best friend leave the room I couldn't help but worry about her. My temper had nearly gotten the better of me when Jasper rang and told me what Edward was thinking just before they left LA. But I realised that Jazz had only told me so that we could be prepared. I already thought that Edward was a jerk but this was a new low even for him. Some of the things that he was telling Jazz on the way to the airport were so horrible that I couldn't even think of telling Bella half of what was said.
Flashback
We were just leaving my dad's office when my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was my Jazzy ringing. I answered the phone with a big smile on my face.
"Hi Baby," I purred.
There was silence on the other end and for a second I thought that he had hung up, until I heard him talking to someone else on the other end of the phone.
"Hi Alice," he answered in a depressed tone and I instantly got worried.
This didn’t sound like the sweet loving guy that I had been talking to for the last month.
"Is there something wrong, Jazz?"
He was silent for at least two minutes before he answered.
"Ali, I am at the airport and we are about to get on the plane to Port Angeles to see you and Bella." He whimpered.
This time it was me who was silent on the phone as I thought about what he was saying. I kept opening and closing my mouth trying to ask the question that I needed to ask but at the same time not wanting to hear the answer.
"When y-you say w-we. Please say it's you a-and Rosalie or anyone else other than who I think you m-mean!" I croaked.
The only thing that I could hear on the other end was Jazz taking a few deep breaths.
"I'm sorry love, I really am, but I'm coming with Edward," he whispered.
My heart was breaking when I heard how unhappy he sounded, but I couldn't think about that when I knew that Bella would end up being the most hurt.
"Alice, I haven't got much time but I need to tell you what happened so you can prepare Bella for this visit. I had you on loud speaker when you told me that Bella was pregnant. Emmett overheard you and he told Edward. Edward went crazy and he was calling Bella a whore and a slut and other names I wouldn't tell a lady. He is convinced that she tricked him. He told me on the way to the airport, that he was going to make sure that she gets rid of the baby. If she doesn't then he will find a way to ruin her reputation. Ali, I need you to stay with Bella when Edward and I call and if she wants to talk to him in private then you need to stay within hearing distance," he cried. I could hear how much this was upsetting him.
"I promise Jazz. I won't leave her side," I answered as tears started falling from my eyes.
"Edward just came from the men's room and they are calling our flight, so I will see you later darlin," he said and hung up the phone.
I put the phone into my bag and got into the car with my mum and Bella. As my mum drove us home I continued to look out of the window so that Bella wouldn't know how upset I was.
End Flashback
Just thinking about the way Edward fucking Masen is portraying Bella makes me want to yell and break something, but what I need to do is keep my emotions under control. Just then my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Jazz.
"Hi Jazz, " I squeaked into the phone.
"Hi Darlin. I'm ringing to let you know that we are in Port Angeles and that we will be there in about forty five minutes," he said.
I looked over toward the bathroom door just as Bella emerged fresh from the shower. She had a worried look on her face when she realised I was talking on the phone to Jasper. Looking at her now made me realised that I needed to protect her from Edward prick Masen at all costs. Just then a thought came to my mind.
"Ok Jazz. We will meet you both in Forks diner in forty five minutes," I said. I hoped that if we were in public Edward would't be so hard on Bella and Jazz and I could be in the next booth.
"Ok love, we will see you then." He said and hung up
I could almost hear the smile in his voice when I suggested the diner, I looked over at Bella and couldn’t help smiling too.
"Come on Bells, let’s have you looking fabulous as we have to be at the diner in forty five minutes." I told her as I dragged her over to my closet.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AA~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
EPOV
Jasper and I boarded the plane from LA to Port Angeles. To say that I was nervous and scared as hell was the understatement of the century. The way I had talked to Jasper about Bella was a sick thing to do, but I just didn't really know this girl. She came across as innocent and shy but that could all be a cover up for all I know. I specifically remember asking her if she was on the pill and she had said that she was. So as far as I was concerned all the evidence pointed towards her tricking me. I know that there are people out there like that and if she doesn't agree to an abortion then I will make sure that I bring her down. I’ll show her to be the liar that she is, because under no circumstances am I going to be a father at the age of twenty.
I sat there in my comfortable first class seat thinking of relieving some tension with the blonde air hostess who kept adjusting her cleavage whenever she came my way. Jasper looked at me as if he knew what I was thinking.
"You've got to kidding me. Once a man whore always a man whore" he spat when he saw me looking over at blondie licking my lips.
I looked at him silently asking him what his problem was.
"Edward you’re my best friend, but I honestly don't think I know you anymore. We are on this plane to see a teenage girl that you knocked up and all you can think about is getting your dick wet. You really are a piece of work man," he said with venom.
I sat back in my seat and closed my eyes and decided that going after the blonde air hostess wasn't worth the trouble. I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew Jasper shaking me awake telling me that we were landing in Port Angeles.
I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and waited for the plane to land. But now that we were finally here the thought of seeing Bella was scaring me shitless. I started walking through the terminal amazed at how small the airport was. Jasper rang Alice to tell her we were on our way and we got into the hired car and made our way to Forks.
"Edward, Alice told me that she and Bella would meet us in a diner, so remember that we will be in a public place and don’t let your anger get the better of you," he scowled.
She must be up to something if she wants to meet me in a public place, I thought to myself. She thinks that I won't be able to get upset with her if there are other people around. Well she better not push me too far or she is going to get hurt.
After about half an hour Jasper pulled up outside a diner which looked like a hole in the wall. We got out of the car and he locked it behind us. I looked around the diner when we entered and suddenly forgot to breathe when I saw her sitting at a booth with her friend. She looked beautiful with her skinny black jeans showing off her curves, blue silk blouse that looked amazing against her creamy skin and showed off her breasts. They weren't big or small, but just the right size. I remembered her long thick mahogany hair, and how it flowed down as far as her waist. She had a beautiful smile on her face as she spoke to her friend and dipped her straw repeatedly into her coke.
At this moment I really wished things could have been different. Just as we were about to go over to them a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes stopped at their booth to talk to her. I began to see red when he put his arm around Bella.
Back off buddy, she's mine and mine alone I thought. Fuck where the hell did that come from? I had to remember that the bitch was out to ruin my life and she can feel free to date all the fuckers that she wants. I smirked when she shook him off her and started to look annoyed. He walked away with a cocky grin on his face.
Right, let’s get this show on the road I thought as I walked over to her.
BPOV
I was really starting to think that Mike must be the most stupid motherfucker on the face of this planet. He still thinks that he is god's gift to women and no matter what I do, he just won't take the hint that I'm not interested. As Mike was thankfully walking away I looked towards the door and saw Edward walking towards me. Edward looked sexy as hell in his tight blue Levi’s and black fitted t-shirt.
"Ali, they're here," I whispered. She put down her coke so that she could look around and then got up out of her seat squealing.
"Jazzy, Jazzy. I've missed you," she giggled as she ran into his arms. Once she had her arms around Jasper she he looked coldly over at Edward and threw him a furious look. He gave her his crooked grin.
"Hi Alice, it's good to see you again," he said confidently.
She looked at Edward as if he was a bug that must be squashed instantly and then looked back at me.
"Bells, do you want me to stay with you?"
"No, but please don't go far," I said nervously. I knew I needed her close be able to get through this.
"Okay, but I will be right over here," she said pointing to the booth directly across from me.
Edward slid in next to me but before he could say anything the waitress came over to take our orders. She was only interested in helping Edward, while ignoring me. As soon as we told her our orders she left and Edward then turned to face me.
"You’re pregnant?" He spat.
"No shit Sherlock. Straight to the point," I said sarcastically.
He looked at me with a cold dark look in his eyes and asked.
"How much is it going to take?"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did he really believe that money was going to solve this?
"How much is what going to take?" I glared.
He looked at me as if I was stupid. "The abortion!" He said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Suddenly I was seeing red. How could he think that I would get rid of my baby. I may only be 16 years old and I may not be ready for this but I am not a killer.
"I am not having an abortion and I don't know what makes you think I should. I'm keeping this baby," I spat.
Edward was about to say something when the waitress came over with our food. Suddenly I wasn't hungry anymore. I was too fucking angry. Alice and Jasper kept looking over at us with concerned looks on their faces. With one flutter of her fake eyelashes at Edward she left us alone. Edward looked over at me with the same cold dark look in his eyes. His face went red as his temper got the better of him.
"LISTEN HERE, I REFUSE TO BE A FATHER. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CHILD'S MOTHER TRICKED ME TO GET PREGNANT. I CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE VERY DIFFICULT IF YOU INSIST ON KEEPING THIS BABY," he yelled getting up.
As quick as a flash Jasper and Alice were next to us.
"Edward calm down, you’re losing it," Jasper pleaded.
Tears started falling from my eyes. I just couldn't believe that this was the same loving and sweet guy that I gave my virginity to. He honestly believed that I tricked him. Alice put her arm around my shoulder whispered soothing words into my ear.
"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT JASPER. SHE FUCKING TRICKED ME BY TELLING ME SHE WAS ON THE PILL WHEN SHE CLEARLY WASN'T," he continued to yell and then looked over at me.
I honestly couldn't remember if he had asked me if I was on the pill.
"Were you even a virgin? Or was that a lie too?" He spat at me.
I got up from of my seat and stood in front of him. I made a fist and then punched him right in the face. He staggered back and looked at me in shock, as if he couldn't believe that I had it in me.
"Now you listen to me you lily white son of a bitch. I have never tricked anyone or made anyone do anything against their will. You can throw whatever you want at me but the fact remains that I'm pregnant and that I'm keeping this baby. You can like it or lump it Edward Masen. "
He continued to stand there with his nose in his hands until he took his wallet out of his jeans. He took out a bundle of notes and threw them on the table.
"There is about $2000 there. It should be enough to pay for you to get rid of that thing inside you. It has been five weeks since the premiere so you aren’t that far gone. If I find out that you are still pregnant by your 12th week then I will follow through on my threat. If you think that today has been bad then remember that it is nothing compared to how it will be if you test my patience," he spat with venom and walked out of the diner.
I picked up the $2000 and stormed out of the diner with Jasper and Alice following. I stood in front of Edward and threw the money in his face.
"Fuck you, Edward Masen. I don't want your stinking money. Me and my baby will be fine. I have only one fucking thing to say to you. Stay the fuck away from me and this baby. As far as I'm concerned you do not exist," I screamed and walked over to Alice's car.
"You’re going to regret this Bella Swan. Mark my words." He shouted after me. I got into the car and Alice got in next to me. No words were spoken as she drove us back to her house. As soon as she pulled up outside her house I jumped out of the car. Esme opened the door and looked at me with motherly concern. I fell into her arms and sobbed uncontrollably. I felt someone lift me up and carry me up to Alice's room and lay me down on her bed. Esme silently asked Alice to go into details. When she was finished telling Esme everything she lay on the bed next to me and stroked my hair, as I cried into the pillow. I must of dozed off because the next thing I knew Esme came into the room with Alice.
"Bella, Bella, are you awake?" Esme was frantic.
I nodded yes as I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"Bella, it seems that news about your pregnancy has spread because of what happened in the diner and as you know your father is a regular there. I held my breath praying that she wouldn’t say what I thought she was going to say,
"He just rang and he's not happy. He's on his way over here with your mother," she whispered.
I lay my head back on the pillow wondering if this day could get any worse.

"Edward just came from the men's room and they are calling our flight, so I will see you later darlin," he said and hung up the phone.
I put the phone into my bag and got into the car with my mum and Bella. As my mum drove us home I continued to look out of the window so that Bella wouldn't know how upset I was.
End Flashback
Just thinking about the way Edward fucking Masen is portraying Bella makes me want to yell and break something, but what I need to do is keep my emotions under control. Just then my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Jazz.
"Hi Jazz, " I squeaked into the phone.
"Hi Darlin. I'm ringing to let you know that we are in Port Angeles and that we will be there in about forty five minutes," he said.
I looked over toward the bathroom door just as Bella emerged fresh from the shower. She had a worried look on her face when she realised I was talking on the phone to Jasper. Looking at her now made me realised that I needed to protect her from Edward prick Masen at all costs. Just then a thought came to my mind.
"Ok Jazz. We will meet you both in Forks diner in forty five minutes," I said. I hoped that if we were in public Edward would't be so hard on Bella and Jazz and I could be in the next booth.
"Ok love, we will see you then." He said and hung up
I could almost hear the smile in his voice when I suggested the diner, I looked over at Bella and couldn’t help smiling too.
"Come on Bells, let’s have you looking fabulous as we have to be at the diner in forty five minutes." I told her as I dragged her over to my closet.

Jasper and I boarded the plane from LA to Port Angeles. To say that I was nervous and scared as hell was the understatement of the century. The way I had talked to Jasper about Bella was a sick thing to do, but I just didn't really know this girl. She came across as innocent and shy but that could all be a cover up for all I know. I specifically remember asking her if she was on the pill and she had said that she was. So as far as I was concerned all the evidence pointed towards her tricking me. I know that there are people out there like that and if she doesn't agree to an abortion then I will make sure that I bring her down. I’ll show her to be the liar that she is, because under no circumstances am I going to be a father at the age of twenty.
I sat there in my comfortable first class seat thinking of relieving some tension with the blonde air hostess who kept adjusting her cleavage whenever she came my way. Jasper looked at me as if he knew what I was thinking.
"You've got to kidding me. Once a man whore always a man whore" he spat when he saw me looking over at blondie licking my lips.
I looked at him silently asking him what his problem was.
"Edward you’re my best friend, but I honestly don't think I know you anymore. We are on this plane to see a teenage girl that you knocked up and all you can think about is getting your dick wet. You really are a piece of work man," he said with venom.
I sat back in my seat and closed my eyes and decided that going after the blonde air hostess wasn't worth the trouble. I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew Jasper shaking me awake telling me that we were landing in Port Angeles.
I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and waited for the plane to land. But now that we were finally here the thought of seeing Bella was scaring me shitless. I started walking through the terminal amazed at how small the airport was. Jasper rang Alice to tell her we were on our way and we got into the hired car and made our way to Forks.
"Edward, Alice told me that she and Bella would meet us in a diner, so remember that we will be in a public place and don’t let your anger get the better of you," he scowled.
She must be up to something if she wants to meet me in a public place, I thought to myself. She thinks that I won't be able to get upset with her if there are other people around. Well she better not push me too far or she is going to get hurt.
After about half an hour Jasper pulled up outside a diner which looked like a hole in the wall. We got out of the car and he locked it behind us. I looked around the diner when we entered and suddenly forgot to breathe when I saw her sitting at a booth with her friend. She looked beautiful with her skinny black jeans showing off her curves, blue silk blouse that looked amazing against her creamy skin and showed off her breasts. They weren't big or small, but just the right size. I remembered her long thick mahogany hair, and how it flowed down as far as her waist. She had a beautiful smile on her face as she spoke to her friend and dipped her straw repeatedly into her coke.
At this moment I really wished things could have been different. Just as we were about to go over to them a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes stopped at their booth to talk to her. I began to see red when he put his arm around Bella.
Back off buddy, she's mine and mine alone I thought. Fuck where the hell did that come from? I had to remember that the bitch was out to ruin my life and she can feel free to date all the fuckers that she wants. I smirked when she shook him off her and started to look annoyed. He walked away with a cocky grin on his face.
Right, let’s get this show on the road I thought as I walked over to her.
BPOV
I was really starting to think that Mike must be the most stupid motherfucker on the face of this planet. He still thinks that he is god's gift to women and no matter what I do, he just won't take the hint that I'm not interested. As Mike was thankfully walking away I looked towards the door and saw Edward walking towards me. Edward looked sexy as hell in his tight blue Levi’s and black fitted t-shirt.
"Ali, they're here," I whispered. She put down her coke so that she could look around and then got up out of her seat squealing.
"Jazzy, Jazzy. I've missed you," she giggled as she ran into his arms. Once she had her arms around Jasper she he looked coldly over at Edward and threw him a furious look. He gave her his crooked grin.
"Hi Alice, it's good to see you again," he said confidently.
She looked at Edward as if he was a bug that must be squashed instantly and then looked back at me.
"Bells, do you want me to stay with you?"
"No, but please don't go far," I said nervously. I knew I needed her close be able to get through this.
"Okay, but I will be right over here," she said pointing to the booth directly across from me.
Edward slid in next to me but before he could say anything the waitress came over to take our orders. She was only interested in helping Edward, while ignoring me. As soon as we told her our orders she left and Edward then turned to face me.
"You’re pregnant?" He spat.
"No shit Sherlock. Straight to the point," I said sarcastically.
He looked at me with a cold dark look in his eyes and asked.
"How much is it going to take?"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did he really believe that money was going to solve this?
"How much is what going to take?" I glared.
He looked at me as if I was stupid. "The abortion!" He said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Suddenly I was seeing red. How could he think that I would get rid of my baby. I may only be 16 years old and I may not be ready for this but I am not a killer.
"I am not having an abortion and I don't know what makes you think I should. I'm keeping this baby," I spat.
Edward was about to say something when the waitress came over with our food. Suddenly I wasn't hungry anymore. I was too fucking angry. Alice and Jasper kept looking over at us with concerned looks on their faces. With one flutter of her fake eyelashes at Edward she left us alone. Edward looked over at me with the same cold dark look in his eyes. His face went red as his temper got the better of him.
"LISTEN HERE, I REFUSE TO BE A FATHER. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CHILD'S MOTHER TRICKED ME TO GET PREGNANT. I CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE VERY DIFFICULT IF YOU INSIST ON KEEPING THIS BABY," he yelled getting up.
As quick as a flash Jasper and Alice were next to us.
"Edward calm down, you’re losing it," Jasper pleaded.
Tears started falling from my eyes. I just couldn't believe that this was the same loving and sweet guy that I gave my virginity to. He honestly believed that I tricked him. Alice put her arm around my shoulder whispered soothing words into my ear.
"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT JASPER. SHE FUCKING TRICKED ME BY TELLING ME SHE WAS ON THE PILL WHEN SHE CLEARLY WASN'T," he continued to yell and then looked over at me.
I honestly couldn't remember if he had asked me if I was on the pill.
"Were you even a virgin? Or was that a lie too?" He spat at me.
I got up from of my seat and stood in front of him. I made a fist and then punched him right in the face. He staggered back and looked at me in shock, as if he couldn't believe that I had it in me.
"Now you listen to me you lily white son of a bitch. I have never tricked anyone or made anyone do anything against their will. You can throw whatever you want at me but the fact remains that I'm pregnant and that I'm keeping this baby. You can like it or lump it Edward Masen. "
He continued to stand there with his nose in his hands until he took his wallet out of his jeans. He took out a bundle of notes and threw them on the table.
"There is about $2000 there. It should be enough to pay for you to get rid of that thing inside you. It has been five weeks since the premiere so you aren’t that far gone. If I find out that you are still pregnant by your 12th week then I will follow through on my threat. If you think that today has been bad then remember that it is nothing compared to how it will be if you test my patience," he spat with venom and walked out of the diner.
I picked up the $2000 and stormed out of the diner with Jasper and Alice following. I stood in front of Edward and threw the money in his face.
"Fuck you, Edward Masen. I don't want your stinking money. Me and my baby will be fine. I have only one fucking thing to say to you. Stay the fuck away from me and this baby. As far as I'm concerned you do not exist," I screamed and walked over to Alice's car.
"You’re going to regret this Bella Swan. Mark my words." He shouted after me. I got into the car and Alice got in next to me. No words were spoken as she drove us back to her house. As soon as she pulled up outside her house I jumped out of the car. Esme opened the door and looked at me with motherly concern. I fell into her arms and sobbed uncontrollably. I felt someone lift me up and carry me up to Alice's room and lay me down on her bed. Esme silently asked Alice to go into details. When she was finished telling Esme everything she lay on the bed next to me and stroked my hair, as I cried into the pillow. I must of dozed off because the next thing I knew Esme came into the room with Alice.
"Bella, Bella, are you awake?" Esme was frantic.
I nodded yes as I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"Bella, it seems that news about your pregnancy has spread because of what happened in the diner and as you know your father is a regular there. I held my breath praying that she wouldn’t say what I thought she was going to say,
"He just rang and he's not happy. He's on his way over here with your mother," she whispered.
I lay my head back on the pillow wondering if this day could get any worse.

All Alone teaser for Chapter 8
"Jazz rang me when they left LA 2 hours ago and it takes 3 hours to fly into Port Angeles from LA so I'm thinking about 1 hour," she said nervously. Suddenly my heart jumped up to my throat and I couldn't breath.
"I can't face Edward yet Ali. I'm not ready," I whispered in breathless gasps. Esme sat next to me, took my right hand into hers and rubbed soothing rings around the palm with her index finger.
"You can do this Bella. You are a strong girl and I have every faith that you will get through this. Just remember that we are here for you and that we love you," she cooed.
