Chapter 2

So, I followed Edward to class. I felt weird walking with him. I had eyes follow me the whole time. It was not I was holding hands with the guy. He has a girlfriend. I don't want a boyfriend right now. I just moved here. People should just stop looking at me. I am not committing a felony because I am walking with him. I shook my head. Stupid people. We walked into the classroom. I sat near the back. Away from him a bit. He saw that I had done that and moved near me. Oh, god.

"So, how do you like Forks so far?" he asked.

"It's fine. I will get use to it someday. I just want to go back to California" I said. I thought of the beaches and the sun. How gorgeous they are. I sighed, happily. He looked amused.

"You'll learn to deal with the rain. Soon enough the sun will be a total shock to you" he said, smiling at me. I nodded to make sure I got it. There was something on my mind I was dying to ask him. My jealousy in the hall killed me. I didn't want to be that girl in front of Edward and Bella. I looked at him and opened my mouth. Nothing came out. I didn't know what to say. I had the question in my head while I was walking with him. Now nothing came out.

I finally got the urge to say those words I have been dying to say. "Edward thanks. I really need to ask you a question." He turned toward me confused. I didn't want to act dumb in front of him. I finally had my question ready. I cleared my throat.

"I know this is personal. How did you fall in love with Bella?"I asked. His eyes sparkled at the question. I knew it was something he didn't talk about much it. I looked back at him. Edward was thinking of his answer.

He lowered his eyes and said, "I think I was infatuated and fascinated by her the moment I laid eyes on her, but at the time I was...incapable of talking to her." He seemed to be choosing his words carefully. "I wasn't good for her when we first met, and I tried to stay away from her for her own safety. But as time progressed...I found that I couldn't leave her, and it didn't help that we keep on getting into situations where we had to interact with one another. Eventually I gave up and allowed myself to be friends with her...and eventually, we told each other how we felt." I looked at him as he told me these words. I sighed. I didn't know what love was.

"I don't believe in love" I told him.

It was true. I could see these two kiss in the hall and think it was just a crush. Edward's eyes told me everything. I believed he was in love with her. I didn't believe I could ever fall in love, again.

"Why?" Edward asked me.

"Before I came here, I was in a long term relationship that didn't work out. Adrianna tried to getting me out of the relationship. I don't want to cry over a boy, again." I said. He looked at me like he was listening. I can't believe he is listening to my problems.

"I just don't want to be scared anymore." I said.

Edward gave her a look of understanding, "Sometimes it might be scary, but one thing about love is taking a risk. You give your heart to someone and trust them to take care of it. There's something out there for everyone, you'll know when you found that person. That's how it is for Bella and me." He doesn't understand. I will never find out what true love means.

"Edward, you don't understand." I said. I sighed and looked at my desk.

"Probably not. For a long time, love seemed like something I could live without, but when I met Bella...I realized how much I needed it." I wanted him to see that I was not kidding about this. Ryan and I didn't work out and now I don't even know if I could see that love was real.

"It will," he said. I shook my head in disagreement. He was fighting me on this and I was going to win.

"No, it won't happen because my boyfriend got me pregnant. I will never fall in love, again" I said. I looked at the clock. I still had a few more minutes until class started. I sighed. I saw his face. He looked like he didn't know this news. He was actually shocked. I knew this was too much news for someone I just met.

"I had no idea..." He said. I nodded. Of course, he didn't. No one knew that I was pregnant with Ryan's baby. I haven't even told my best friend. I was the only one that knew I was carrying my stupid ex-boyfriend's baby!

"When did you find out?" he asked.

"I found out before I came here. I am about 6 weeks pregnant" I replied. I really hate this. Edward doesn't care. He is a teenage model who just found out that I am pregnant. I have told him my big secret and he is probably going to tell my best friend or worst, his girlfriend.

"Does the father know?" he asked.

I shook my head, again. "No, he would probably freak out and asked how this happened and it is my fault" I said. I heard the bell ring. I was relieved. I really didn't want to talk about this anymore. My life is now in the hands of Edward Cullen. I just met him. I don't know if he is going to tell my secret. I hate this. My head is still on the table. I didn't want to listen to the teacher talk about History. I hate having these stupid moments. I wanted to run out of the room and start crying in the middle of the hall. I felt Edward come closer to me.

"Mr. Rovin is going to ask you question. The answer is 1775." He said. I put my head up and nodded.

"Miss Monroe, what year did this take place" the teacher asked. I wasn't paying attention. I was still in dreamland. Edward nudged me a bit.

"Miss Monroe…" the teacher said my name again.

"1775" I answered fatly.

The teacher smiled at me. "Very good. Okay, why did this happen?" he asked the class. I went back to my dreamland state.

"Someone kill me, now" I said.

"Allyson, even though I don't know you very well...is there anything I can do to help?" Edward asked. "I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to, but my father is a doctor and he would keep everything quiet if that's what you needed."

My face lightened up. If he really meant this then I would trust with my baby's life. I smiled. He smiled back at me. Maybe he was happy that I was smiling and wanted to see it. I didn't know. I was just happy to hear he wasn't going to tell my best friend and his girlfriend my big secret.

"Really, I would really love that. I want to keep this b-a-b-y. I don't want it to go to some adopted family. I already love it in some way. I beg of you, please do not tell Bella or Adrianna. If you do, I will murder you." I was serious about this. I would kill him in sleep. I would be like a ninja. Ugh, I wish I could laugh evilly. I will do it later in my room. Maybe, I won't. Adrianna would hear it and ask why I am doing it. I have to make something up. Haha, pregnancy is a good excuse.

"Sorry, hormones" I said.

He grinned, "I highly doubt that you could murder me. But you've got my word, I won't tell anyone."

"Good, but I could still murder you" I answered, smiling. He smiled at me like I was joking or something. I was but he didn't know that. Edward didn't even look scared.

"Okay, I will be careful, then."

"Oh, good, believe me." I said. I was going to give up on this conversation. I needed to change the subject or people will hear I am pregnant.

"Uh, is La Push pretty?" I asked.

"My family, we don't go there" He was trying to figure out what to say. I knew there was something missing. I shrugged it off. After a long pause, which I hate he continued. "It's beautiful over there, but we don't go to La Push."

"Oh, okay. I hope I have fun." I answered.

You probably will," Edward promised her. "Bella brought pictures and the area is thriving with natural beauty. It's one of the richer Indian reservations in the country, so there's a lot of hiking trails and little boutiques." I nodded.

"Nice. I just want class to be over" I said.

"Ten more minutes" he replied. I decided since time goes slow at this school, I would ask about his father.

"Where should I get "help" from your dad? Can I meet him first?" I asked.

"Of course. You can come over to our house this weekend and meet him; he'll probably set up an appointment with you after getting to know you a little bit." Edward flashed a dazzling smile in her direction, "He's a nice doctor. Not like...Dr. Cox." Scrubs is an amazing show but I wanted a doctor like Dr. Cox. He is rude and sexy at the same time. How could you not want a doctor like that?

I had to look up. His smile caught me off-guard. "Haha, okay. Why do you dazzle me?" I asked. I just realized what I just asked. I felt my face get red.

"Dammit, I mean the smile! Oh my god, I said that out loud." I said. I hid my red face. I heard him laughing. I am seriously thinking about going into a hole and dying. I can't believe I told another girl's boyfriend that he dazzles me. I need to like run or hide.

"Bella said the same thing before." He shrugged it off, "It's fine."

I couldn't believe this. He was taking this in stride. I, on the other hand, was panicking. I just told him he dazzles me. Breathe, Allyson, breath.

"Uh, thanks. I just don't want you to think that I am flirting with you" I said.

"I know you don't mean to." Edward reassured her, "I'm good at reading people and I know you understand how in love Bella and I are, and that you wouldn't do anything to sabotage our relationship."

"Hell no, I have a b-a-b-y on the way"

"There's that, too" he said.

"You know, it's easy to talk to you. Not like anybody in California" I rolled my eyes. I think it was nicer to talk to someone who doesn't know you yet to someone has known you since you were a baby. They don't know your habits. Edward hasn't even seen my habits, yet. Thank god.

He raised an eyebrow at this, "Don't some people say that Californians are laid-back?"

Ugh, he has no clue. I love California, but where we lived was full of surfers. I shook my head. "Yeah, too laid back. They're all 'Yo, let's go surfing'. We lived by the coast and there were lots of surfers" I said.

"Oh, god." He replied.

"I know, I think I lost some IQ. I love California, though. I would go back in a second." I said. I thought about it for a minute. Maybe after I graduate, I could go to back to California and attend college. The baby would have to go with me.

"It must have been beautiful over there." He replied.

"Yeah, it is"

"Are you going to go back there after you graduate?" Did he just read my mind or something? I looked confused. He gave me the same face and knew he did something wrong. I shrugged it off.

"I don't know, maybe. I could stay here" I said. I wasn't so sure of myself at this moment. I sighed and looked at the clock.

"Well, you still have some time to decide." he said. I nodded to agree with him. He saw that I was looking at the clock.

"Two minutes until class is over," Edward said. He pointed to Mr. Rovin who was now rambling on about birds and how they nested, "He's forgotten what subject he's teaching. It happens all the time." I laughed. Birds were not a part of history. I shook my head to keep myself from laughing more.

"It's okay, I am not really listening to him" I replied.

"...Oh, and the herons with their long legs and--" Mr. Rovin was cut off by the sound of the bell. I stood up and walked to the door. I didn't know if Edward was going to follow me. I turned my head a bit and saw that his steps were matching mine. He was going to walk with me to lunch. I didn't know to contain myself. He was being nice to me even though I made a complete fool of myself. I said he dazzled me. What girl in their mind would say that out loud? I shook my head to get rid of the memory.

Anyway, I followed him to the cafeteria. Edward saw that Bella was already sitting with their friend. He took my hand and walked to their table. I sat down next to Adrianna. I knew she would get there before me. Edward sat next to Bella. I saw more people coming to the table. I saw Mike, who waved at me. A girl sat next to Edward who has his same skin color. Her hair was in black spikes. She smiled at me. Edward eyed her. "Hi, I am Alice." She said.

"I am Allyson." I answered. Her voice was musical, like she was singing her name to me. Adrianna looked amazed as me. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Alice introduced herself to Adrianna as well. Another girl sat next on the other side of Bella. Her shyness made me comfortable. I knew that I would become with her. I looked at her to introduce myself when another girl came behind me. "Hi, you must be the new girls. I am Jessica." She said. She moved the person next to me to make room for herself. I rolled my eyes. Adrianna made a face when she had to move over a little. My impression of this girl was getting thin. I would rather get shot.

"I am Allyson and this is Adrianna." I said pointing to my best friend. Jessica nodded. I saw Mike staring at us. Why was he doing that?

Edward just stared at Jessica. He shook his head and continued to play with Bella's hair. Jessica got up from her seat as soon as another girl came from the other side of the table. Her blonde hair made her look like a model. I shook my head. She had a disgusted expression on her face. I didn't know what to say to her. What was I suppose to say? She didn't even know me and she thought I was something from the bottom of her shoe. "So, this must be the new girls." She said.

"Hi, I am Allyson" I said. I was going to be nice to her as possible. She was going to get on my bad side.

"I am Lauren. I see you that you have made new friends. Don't waste your time. You should sit by Mike." She whispered in my ear. I stood up and eyed Lauren. I didn't want to have an enemy on the first day.

"I think that who I make friends with is none of your business." I said. I sat back down. I didn't want to see her reaction. I only heard an 'hmph' from her. Adrianna rolled her eyes at Lauren, who walked away.

"I am sorry about that. I always attract attention." I apologized. Edward smiled. I don't want to attract attention. I would rather be in a hole right now. I don't want to think about getting into fight with a girl I hardly know. I didn't want to eat, so I just sat where I was. I heard people getting up. I really didn't want to go to my next class. Gym was my next class. I hated it.

"So, Allyson, what class do you have?" Bella asked.

"Gym," I managed to say.

"Oh, I have gym, too. We can go through the pain together" I laughed. I got up and walked towards the cafeteria exit. Bella caught up after me. I didn't want to see another goodbye from the couple. It would only make me more jealous. I followed Bella to the gym. I went up to the coach.

"Hi, I am Allyson Monroe. I am new." I said. I didn't want to play today. I hated Gym like a passion. It was like I hated the rain but more. In California, we could do whatever we wanted unless we were doing something. I looked back to see Edward coming into the gym. Was I insane? Why is he in three of my classes? The coach gave me some clothes. He said I didn't have to change. I shook my head and sat on the bleachers. They were playing tennis. I like tennis but didn't feel like playing. I saw Edward and Bella play game together. They looked like they were having fun. My jealousy got the best of me. I couldn't watch them anymore. Why was I so jealous of them? I looked away. I wanted something to distract myself. I took my book bag and put it front of me. I looked for something that would distract me from watching Edward and Bella play tennis.

I found the perfect thing to keep me from becoming jealous. I took out a book I put in my book bag in case I got bored during lunch. I started to read 'Pride and Prejudice". I was so engrossed in this book, I felt Bella tap me on the shoulder.

"Allyson" she said. I looked up from my book and smiled. She was dressed in her regular clothes and Edward was beside her, smiling. I stood up. This was our last class, right? I looked down to see my feet weren't moving.

"So, you want to find Adrianna?" Bella asked. I nodded. I forgot what class she had. Bella lit up when she saw my best friend leave the class room. I smiled and waved for her to come over. She ran and hugged me. She knew I hated gym with a passion. I looked at her as Edward and Bella said their goodbyes. As they were finished we head to my car. It was a Volvo my dad bribed me with. I hate being bribed. I saw Edward get into his Volvo which was nicer than mine. Adrianna had her own car, so she drove out of the parking lot. I knew she would get there before I would.

"Does your dad do this a lot?" she asked.

"Yeah, now that he is rich." I answered. I heard the radio go on. I was singing along with the first song that came on. Bella joined in. It was pretty fun hanging with Bella. I saw Adrianna at the parking lot and I pulled into the spot next to hers. I turned off the engine and climbed out of the car.

"How fast did you go?" I asked.

"I think I went about 10 miles over the speed limit. I think I have a built in police tracker in my car" She said, sliding off her car. Her music was still blaring from the radio.

"Don't let my dad hear you say that." Bella said.

"He's a cop?" I asked.

"I won't." Adrianna promised. I knew she would do it outside of Forks, of course. I saw a smile on my best friend's face. I could she was happy.

"You were right, it is beautiful out here." She nodded to Bella. In turn, Bella nodded and also looked at the ocean. I looked out, too.

"Yeah, my dad is Chief Swan." She said, answering my question. I nodded still looking at the beautiful view in front of me.

"I could show you the tide pools," Bella offered. I shook my head. I didn't want this to ruin my moment. Adrianna was all ready to go. I saw Bella and Adrianna walk towards the beach until I couldn't see them anymore. Since I alone, there was silence. Thank god for silence. I looked out onto the ocean to think what I am going to do about this baby business. I just moved here and seems like a bad time for people to think I am slut when I am not. I heard that broke my thoughts and turned my heard. I heard some boys laughing and making loud burping noises. I made a disgusted face. Ewww.

"Could you please quiet it down?" I yelled to them. They looked towards me. I could see they were locals. I tried to smile politely.

"Sorry, I thought we were the only ones here" he said.

I shook my head, "No, there other people here. There are two more people walking on the beach." I said.

"Oh." He paused for a minute and scanned the two cars in the parking lot, then looked back at Shannon. "Are you new around here?"

"Yes, I am new here. I moved here with my best friend Adrianna. We're here with my friend Bella." I replied.

"Bella Swan?" he asked. "Oh, I know her. I am Jacob Black, by the way. It's nice to meet you." He said. I shook his hand he put out.

"It's nice to meet you, Jacob. I think I see Adri and Bella, now." I pointed to the two figures coming back from the beach. It looked like they fell in one of the tide pools. I saw Jake to turn to Adri. He couldn't take his eyes of her.

"Uh, Adrianna, this is Jacob." I said.

"Uhm, hi." She said. I didn't know what to do at this moment. Should I walk away from the forming romance? They could have their eyeing contest alone. Bella gently pulled me to the side to not bother Jake and Adri.

"So, do you have anyone special in your life?"

I looked at her. "I don't"

"Love is not meant for some people." I retorted. I felt my anger rise. I didn't like talking about Ryan. That scum ruined my life too much. I turned around and tried to breathe. Adrianna looked at me worried. I couldn't help but start to cry. I ran away in tears.

"What's with her?" I stopped fumbling around with my purse and looked up, watching Ally's retreating figure as she went down further and further towards the beach. Bella stood there with her arms folded across her chest, her brown eyes expectant. I've known Ally my entire life and there are very few topics of discussion that would make her this upset. I didn't want to betray her trust by revealing anything that was far too personal, but I got the feeling that Bella would keep quiet about whatever it was that she wanted to know. "We were talking about boyfriends and romance," Bella clarified. "I asked her if she had anyone special in her life, and she said she didn't. Then she got really mad for some reason. She told me that love wasn't meant for some people and she walked away."

Oh. Now I see exactly what she was acting the way that she is right now. One subject that is still a very sensitive one with her is her latest ex-boyfriend. Every time he's mentioned in a conversation Ally will clam up and refuse to talk. "I know that you didn't mean to, but you inadvertently brought up some bad memories for her." We stared out onto the foggy horizon, feeling the cold sea air spray at our faces. "There was a boy in California that she was together with for almost a year. His name was Ryan, and she was crazy about him." Bella shoved her hands into her pockets, sounding nervous now. She knew that she was treading on pretty dangerous territory. "What happened to him?"

"They broke up because he was cheating on her." I winced at how bluntly I stated that. "He was far different from the person that she thought he was."

"Couldn't you tell, though?" She pressed even further for more details.

"Couldn't any of you see Ryan for what he really was?" I looked at her grimly, shaking my head. "He was a very good actor, Bella." My voice went soft at this point. "He fooled us into thinking that he was the perfect Prince Charming. We all thought that they were perfect together. Their looks certainly complimented each other's—him with his soft blue eyes and light brown hair, they seemed like a couple from a fairy tale. He also came from a really good family and treated her like she was the most precious thing in the world. We thought that they would last forever…"

Her eyes widened, intuition flashing through them. Now she finally understood. "Wow."

"Yeah, that's one way to describe it." I kicked a stray stone in the path. "Her dad had just dropped the bomb on her that he was moving her out here to Forks the same day she caught him in bed with this bimbo from school. That was a few weeks ago, but she's still definitely hurting." Bella frowned, her eyebrows crinkling. "He sounds like a real jerk. Allyson seems too nice of a person to get that sort of treatment. Nobody deserves to be in that kind of relationship." She turned to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "If you're worried about anyone knowing about what happened to her, you don't have to. I'll keep this a secret."

Thank you." I knew that I could trust her. "Now all we've got to do is keep her away from Tyler Crowley. I saw the way that he was looking at her during lunch!" At this point the atmosphere lightened considerably. "Tyler Crowley is after her?" She stuck her tongue out to show her disdain.

"Well, we're going to have to do something about that, aren't we?"

"Make him cry somehow?" She snickered at that mental image.

"Okay. Let's brainstorm!"

"We could always hit him in the head with a wrench, or…we could stab him in the gut with a knife." My imagination was running wild at this point. "The tool that we will invent will be called Knife-Wrench. It'll be practical and safe." Bella stared at me blankly. "No, you're right. We should probably avoid anything illegal. I don't want to go court anytime soon."

"I guess that puts totaling his car and hitting him over the head with a shovel out of the picture, too," She sighed.

The two of us stood there, blinking at one another for a moment. I still liked the whole Knife-Wrench idea, even if it would probably kill Tyler. I guess it was a good thing that we both disliked him, otherwise she would probably think that I was a psycho for coming up with it. We spent the next few minutes discussing various ways to get rid of Tyler, even though most of them would get us in trouble and wouldn't work out in the first place. Stupid laws. They suck the fun out of everything!

Sooner than we expected, we saw the light catching someone's reddish-brown hair. Ally was heading back up the hill and to my relief; she looked like she had calmed down. She shot us a suspicious look

when she saw Bella and I huddling together, laughing our heads off. When she finally reached us she asked, "What're you two up to?"

"Plotting ways to kill Tyler Crowley," I replied innocently.

So, I needed to calm down. My breathing is normal again. I didn't mean to do that but the thought of Ryan made my mind dizzy. I never want to see his face, again. Why were they trying to kill Tyler Crowley, anyways? I didn't even want to know.

"Do I want to know?"

"No. Are you okay? You had me worried." She said. I pulled Adrianna to the side, away from Bella and Jake. I needed to tell her later.

"I have to tell you something. This can't wait!" I said.

"Sweetie, what is wrong?" she asked. Adrianna looked concerned.

"I am pregnant." I said out there. I didn't want to leave anything out. I wanted to make sure that she knew that I was not making this up.

"What?" I could see her eyes getting wide. This was not the news to tell your best friend now. I sighed. I waited for her to calm down for a moment. "I thought you and Ryan used protection!"

"We did, when he wanted to. You know how he was. Believe me; I wanted him to use protection every time. I am keeping the baby." I said.

"Okay," she replied. She pulled me into a hug. She was calming down and I was glad. You do not want an angry Adrianna. It was scary. "Have you seen a doctor, yet?"

"I am seeing Doctor Cullen tomorrow. Don't worry." I said.

"Good"

"I just hope that Ryan doesn't find out." I said.

Adrianna nodded. "Yeah, either you will tell him or he won't find out." She replied. I smiled. We were both calmed down now.

"I think I need to go. I need to tell my parents. I think I will get the Volvo taken away" I said. She nodded and hugged me once again.

"Well, I could take Bella home. I will see you when I get home" I smiled at my best friend. She knew when to calm me down. That's what I loved about her.

"I help you whenever you need it"

"I was hoping you would say that" I said. I hugged her one last time. I waved goodbye to Bella and drove to tell my parents the news.
