I went to the bank and took back all of my measly college fund since I can guarantee I won't be going to college any time soon. I had no idea what I was doing, and the lady working there kept looking at me like I was an idiot, but I eventually got my money, though I was embarrassed about what that young and pretty employee must of thought, my face turns bright red when I think about it. I guess it doesn't really matter since I'm not going to be in public much anymore, and the chances of ever seeing her again are slim to none.
I kept about $600 in the box under my bed, and I had about $1,400 in the bank, so now I only have approximately $1,600. Great. Why didn't I ever get a job? Oh right, because I expected my "caring and loving soul-mate" would always be there with his overflowing wallet, if I ever needed the cash.
And, of course, I expected Alice, my supposed best friend, to always be there too. I can't believe she left also. I miss her so much, I have been so lonely without her. I miss the way she pranced and danced everywhere she went, the way she could shop for hours and not find a single thing she liked, how she would get that mischievous grin that meant she was up to no good, and, believe it or not, I missed playing Barbie Bella.
I'm fumbling around in some compartments I never noticed nor used on the sides of my truck, looking for change for the turnpike, when my hand feels a wad of something smooth and papery. I pull it up and realize it's a wad of hundred dollar bills. Edward must have stuffed it in there in case of an emergency. I guess I shouldn't be surprised he did that even though I'm sure he doesn't care what happens to me, he has plenty of money to go around. For once, I don't reject the money, I take it gladly. How completely I've altered for this child.
When I stop at a motel for a night, the older doorman checking me out which is really creepy, I check some more hidden compartments. Sure enough, there are more wads of money. I count it all up and am shocked at the total. It's more than my college fund and stashed cashed combined and doubled, $4,000. And add that to my original amount, it's $5,600 in all.
"Ohh, thank you, Edward!" I almost yelled, then made a loud grunting noise of pain. It actually hurts to say his name, it feels like a hole has been punched through my chest. My outburst earned me weird looks from a passing by couple, but I didn't really care, they would do the same if they went from $1,600 to $4,600!
I hope it will be enough to care for an infant for a while if I don't find the Cullens in time.
