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.

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.
