Chapter 1
3 years ago
Isabella Swan looked at her phone one more time, contemplating whether or not she should. She sighed and groaned in frustration.
This shouldn't have turned out this way. She should have been with him and been excited and overwhelmed to tell him this news, because she would have known that he'd be happy too. But yet here she was, nervous and unbearably scared to phone him and tell him that she was pregnant.
Why you ask?
Because exactly one month ago, he'd left her for his newfound fame. He'd told her that he had a lot of things going on in his life right now and being with her as he'd stated was "too time consuming." He'd told her that he was in a place right now, where he needed to focus on his career.
After 2 years, he'd just left...like it was the easiest thing to do. Bella couldn't understand. How could he have professed his love for her endless amount of times and then just decided one day that actually maybe he didn't love her as much as he thought he had.
Bella once again held back the tears that threatened to escape, because she was done. She was done crying for him and wondering why he'd left. He'd always been into his music and Bella had never gotten in the way of that. She understood that he'd always wanted to be a singer and she'd encouraged him to do it. And when he finally made it, she'd been there, ecstatic and amazingly proud of him for finally getting his dream to come true.
She couldn't understand why he thought that she was getting in the way. It made no sense. How could you love someone one day and not the next?
And no she was faced with the horrendous task of telling the guy, who hadn't wanted her, that she was going to have his baby. What would he say? What would he think?
There was only one person right now who knew that she was pregnant and that was Alice Cullen, her best friend and sister of Edward Cullen – the guy who tore her life up and burnt it to pieces. Alice was the one who had pushed her to tell him. Alice was the greatest friend she could have possibly imagined. Bella met Alice when she'd started in Forks High School and instantly befriended her and the rest of the group.
Bella sighed and realised that no longer how much she sat there, staring at the phone like it was about to eat her alive, she couldn't delay the inevitable. She pressed the numbers, which she still knew off by heart, and waited until she heard it ringing. And surely, after a few rings that felt longer than eternity, he picked up.
"Bella, why are you phoning me? We've said all we had to say to each other." Hearing Edward's voice made her heart skip a beat, but that was nothing new. That happened every time she heard his voice, every time she saw his face, every time she even thought about him.
"Yes, I know that Edward but... I need to talk to you. It's important. Can we meet up somewhere?" Bella said in a strong voice; she didn't need him to know how distraught she was and how much she missed him. She wouldn't give him that satisfaction.
"I'm sorry but I'm busy. Just say what you have to say," he demanded in a forceful tone, one which Bella was unaccustomed to.
"Look Edward, it isn't something we can discuss over the phone alright? I need to see you." As soon as those words left her mouth, she winced. Those words were exactly what she'd been trying to avoid. They made her sound weak and pathetic; like one of those girls that was needy and clingy and just wouldn't let go.
"Well you either say it now or just leave it because I told you before – I'm busy!" Edward said, practically shouting. Bella knew that it was now or never. She had to tell him.
"I'm pregnant," she blurted, afraid that if she thought anymore about it she would back out and never have another chance to tell him. There was silence for a long time and Bella was afraid of his reaction, but at least he was still on the phone. But when his reaction finally emerged, Bella began to wish he'd hung up the phone.
He laughed loudly.
"Are you serious? Wow, my manager was right! You know he actually told me that you would pull some shit like that and I didn't believe him. That is hilarious!" Edward continued to laugh while Bella could no longer hold her tears inside. They rushed down her face with no end in sight.
"Edward I'm not kidding. I'm pregnant." She was glad now, that she hadn't told him face to face, she didn't think she could have bared it if he'd seen her tears while he laughed.
Edward stopped laughing abruptly when he realised that it really wasn't a joke. Instead he sneered.
"Do you really think that I want that baby? How can you even bring it into the world? Are you that selfish? To bring an unplanned and unwanted child into this world while we're only 18 years old? If I didn't want to have anything to do with you what makes you think I want anything to do with this baby?"
"What the hell are you saying?" Bella couldn't hide the tremble in her voice anymore. She didn't want to acknowledge that she knew what he was going to say. She didn't want to believe it.
"Get rid of it. I've just started my career and you really want to bring it down because of your selfish needs? I don't need this right now." Bella decided in that moment, that the voice she was hearing was no longer the Edward she knew. It couldn't be. It had to be an evil that had taken over his body, because the Edward she knew wouldn't say things like that.
"I don't want anything from you, you selfish bastard. I just wanted you to know." With that, she hung up the phone and cried. Cried for everything she had lost, cried for the things she feared would come and most of all she cried for this baby - that she knew, without a doubt, could not come into this world.
Hey people! I know you're probably thinking that Bella is aborting her child because of what Edward said but that's not it and you'll find out why she did later on in the story!
I know Edward was a major bastard but he had to be in this chapter, you'll also find out why later!
Please please please review and tell me what you think. Is it good? Is it bad? If you have any further ideas please tell me!
Thankssss sooo much!xxx
