Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight
I took my A/N: Down due to people calling me racist. I'd rather have people read my story than know about my views on things going on in the real world. Those who commented about me being a racist will probably see this new A/N and think I'm a pussy for taking it down. Go ahead and think what you want just like I will think what I want.
I hope you enjoy the story!

Bella's POV
I hear the sound of crunching gravel. The sound is so familiar I can almost estimate how many seconds until the crunching stops. I've lived at this house for my entire life besides when I left for college. Everything, everyone I know and love is here. The crunching stops and footsteps lead up to my front door before a steady knock vibrates through my house. It's him. The love of my life. The man I want to spend forever with, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen.
Edward and I met when we were freshman in high school. He was popular and I was geeky. I was the ugly duckling and the freak. My older brother, Emmett was a senior and the captain of the football team. He was always upset that I didn't try harder to be popular. He'd send his best friend's girlfriend to give me make overs but as soon as she left, I wiped the make up off and went back to being me. Bella Swan. Plain, Bella Swan that had a 4.5 GPA, an old beat up pick up truck and two left feet.
Edward and I started dating our junior year in high school. We started having sex around three months into our relationship. We went to Dartmouth together. Our sophomore year we got an apartment together and everything was great. Our senior year, things started going downhill. Edward had a knew lab partner named Tanya Denali. It was clear as day that she wanted him. Even when all of us were together, she'd flirt and press herself up against him. At a Christmas party, she made sure that they got stuck under mistletoe. She kissed Edward before he really had a chance to say no. Then she started coming around our apartment. Edward was gone longer and studying with her while I was at home alone.
Suddenly, Tanya went away. Edward was still gone though. He was rarely at home. When we finally graduated, we'd made the decision to move back to our hometown. It's been five years. Edward is still only my boyfriend. We've been together for ten years. I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level. Especially since I found out two days ago that I'm pregnant. I haven't told Edward yet. He'd been adamant that we weren't ready for children. He usually wore two condoms even though I have the Depo shot. Four weeks ago however, we were drunk and we ended up having sex without a condom and it was around the time my last Depo shot expired.
Edward walks in the house and sits on the couch. He leans forward with his head in his hands and sighs. I walk into our living room and he looks up at me. I reach for his hand but he pulls it away. I feel a pang of hurt in my heart. He's never pulled away from me like that. I see unshed tears in his eyes so I hurry and sit next to him.
" What's going on? You know I'm here for you, you can tell me.", I whisper. He nods his head and turns to face me on the couch.
" I can't do this anymore. I-I'm not the same guy I was back in high school. I don't want to live in this tiny town with a mediocre job. I don't want to do what everyone expects me to do. I don't want to get married to you because everyone seems to think it's time for us to get married.", he says passionately.
" What are you trying to say, Edward?", I demand.
" I'm saying that I think we should call it quits. There are things that you don't know. Things I never told you and...I need to tend to that."
" What things? We've been together for ten years. What don't I know?", I feel the first tear slip down my face.
" Tanya and I had sex a month before she left. She got pregnant. That's why I've been so careful with you. I didn't want to knock you up and have a child with you when I was neglecting another child of mine. I'm moving to California to be with Tanya...And with our son, Brody. I'm So-", I cut him off.
" Don't tell me you're sorry. I don't want to hear it. I've done nothing but love you and this is how you treat me? You cheat on me and get the other girl pregnant? You tell me about it on the day that I was going to tell you that I'm having your baby? I'm four weeks pregnant. The baby is due in September.", I cry. Edward's mouth drops and his hands tug at his hair.
" Don't make me stay. Please. Don't make me feel any guiltier than I already am. I'll always love you, but as a friend. Don't let this pregnancy hold you back. Do yourself a favor and just...Get rid of it. Because I'm not staying. I can't.", he says in a hard voice laced with finality.
" Are you serious? You want me to get an abortion?", I start to feel dizzy.
" I'll pay for it. I don't want this baby Bella. I just don't. I need to go pack. I'll be out of here in about an hour. I'm sorry Bella, I really am.", he kisses my forehead and walks off towards our- my bedroom. The weight of his words crash down on me and suddenly, the world I know and love is ripped out from under me.
