I SUGGEST YOU READ MY A/N BECAUSE I ACTUALLY ANSWER QUESTIONS! I say this because in the my note from last CH I stated that the story was loosely based on the Heart song and then I get reviews, "you're story reminds me of that Heart song." *Sigh* Again, I also stated there will be EPOV after CH 12. There are five Edward out takes.
I am updating early because I am not going to home tomorrow night, so you're welcome. Seems some people weren't thrilled with Bella leaving, but truth be told, if she didn't, there wouldn't be much of a story, now would there?
Ok let's get going.
One Night of Love
~ Three ~
I cried the whole way home. My tears never stopped falling as I crossed the town line into Forks.
I wiped my eyes when I pulled into the driveway of the only home I've ever known. I never liked living here, but right now, I needed to be home.
I was glad to be home.
I grabbed some of bags and headed up to the front door. Before I could open it, it swung open and there was my dad. I started crying again at the sight of him. Ever since my mom died when I was eleven, it was always Charlie to be there. He was the best father and if I knew nothing else in life, I knew he loved me.
"Bells," he greeted and then he saw my tears. "Baby girl, why are you crying?"
"Daddy." I said and then I dropped my bags. I flew into my dad's arms and hugged him.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm just... h-happy to see you." I stuttered.
"I"m glad you're home, Bells. I missed you."
"I missed you too, Dad."
"Come on let's get these bags," he said and then picked up my bags from the ground. "Go on inside, I'll get the rest of your things."
I nodded and then walked into the house. I looked around, it was the same as when I left. I then went up to my room and sat down on my double bed. My mind was on my mystery guy, but I knew leaving the way I did, was the best thing for both of us.
My dad came into my room with some of my bags and set them down on the floor.
"I saw Rosie at the store," he told me, "She told me to tell you to call her as soon you got home."
"Okay, I will," I said. "Right now I need a hot shower and some sleep."
"All right, I'll leave you to that," Charlie nodded. "It's good to have you home, Bella. Love you kiddo."
"Love you too, Daddy."
I was always grateful that Charlie never hovered.
After a long hot shower and more tears, I changed into pajama pants and a tank top and climbed into my bed.
I pulled my blanket up to my neck and willed myself to fall asleep.
That was the first time I dreamed of my green eyed stranger.
When I opened my eyes, I reached for my phone to check the time. I had slept for over four hours. I got up and walked down stairs to find a note from my dad telling me he was called into the station and would be back in a couple hours.
I opened the fridge and grimaced at how little there was in there. If I knew any better, Charlie was eating much too often at the diner. I knew a trip to the store was in order, but first I had to call Rose.
I sat down in my dad's recliner and dialed Rose's number. She picked up on the second ring.
"Bella!"
"Hey Rose."
"Are you home?"
"Yeah, I got home early this morning. I just woke up from a long nap."
"How are you?"
"I"m... okay," I told her. "I need to see my best friend."
"How about tonight? I've got lots to tell you."
"Tonight's good," I agreed. "But first I have to go to the grocery store. Charlie is in serious need of a home cooked meal. How about I come by in a few hours?"
"Sounds good, I'll chill the wine."
I hung up the phone and went upstairs to change. After a run to the grocery store to pick up a bunch of things, I unpacked everything and called Charlie at the station to let him know I was going to Rose's and would be back late.
I made it to Rose's house and it was so good to see her. After a long hung and a bunch of I miss you's we were seated in her living room with a glass of wine.
Rose's parents were never home it seemed. They worked for the same marketing firm and were constantly on business trips. Rose told me they had left this morning and wouldn't be back for a few days. I can't remember a time when Rose wasn't on her own. We had that in common as well as being an only child.
"So what did you have to tell me?" I asked as I took a sip of wine.
"Oh right, yeah... I uh, met a guy," she said as she took a big sip from her glass.
"Really? Wow, tell me about him."
"Well, his name is Emmett, he's so hot, big and muscular like I like it. He's from Seattle, and did I mention he's hot?"
"I think you may have," I smiled, and then took another sip from my glass. "That's great, Rose, I'm glad you met someone, but Seattle?"
"I know,it kind of sucks," she sighed, "But we'll make it work. He knows I have my job here so he said, we'll think of something. IN the meantime, we're just doing the long distance thing."
"Is he coming out here soon?"
"Yeah in a couple weeks," she told me.
"I'm happy for you."
"Thanks, I'm happy for me too," she smiled, "I met a great guy and I have my best friend finally home and we're going to have the best summer before we start work. Yeah, I'm a lucky girl."
"That you are," I laughed.
~ Six Weeks Later ~
"Bells, are you okay?" Charlie asked, as he knocked on the bathroom door.
"Yeah, Dad... I'm... oh god," I said before I heaved in the toilet again. "I'll be fine."
"Okay, I'm heading to work. Remember I'm doing a double, so I'll see you tomorrow morning."
"Great, okay Dad, bye." Again I heaved.
Once I finished, I rinsed my mouth out and went back to my bedroom. I felt like shit. Last night Rose and I went out to dinner and I thought my dinner tasted kind of strange, maybe I had food poisoning.
Or maybe...
Oh shit...
I jumped off my bed and grabbed my phone to check my period tracking app. When I clicked on the app, my blood ran cold.
Six days late.
I was never late in my life. I sat back down on the bed and remembered where I was six weeks ago. I was in the motel with my green eyed stranger almost six weeks ago to the day.
I gasped.
We didn't use any protection.
I didn't even think about then and clearly neither did he. Not only did I have sex with a total stranger who I picked up on the side of of the road, but I had careless unprotected sex with him.
And now...
My stomach turned and I ran back in the bathroom.
I then picked up my phone and called Rose.
"Hey," she answered.
"Rose, I need you to do me a big favor, please?" I sighed.
"Bella, what's wrong?"
"I need you to go to the store for me."
"You sound upset, are you sick?"
"I don't think so."
"Okay, what do you need?"
"A pregnancy test."
Do you like Rose as much as I do? She's a good friend, I like nice Rose, she's not a bitch in this story. And Charlie, gotta love him too.
