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.

"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?"
