I don't own twilight.
Bella unfroze and looked at Jessica, "fine, follow me to Alice's store." Bella could tell that this wasn't going to be a bombshell and she wasn't going to deal with it without at least Alice there.
"Ok," Jessica nodded getting in the car, she put her hands on the wheel trying to steady her nerves the truth would ruin her would ruin everything she'd built in her life.
Bella got into her car and pulled out her phone. She hit one and waited for Alice to pick up the phone. "Hey Bella what's up? How was your first day?"
Bella took a deep breath trying to steady her nerves. "boring expect my sparing match with Lauren and when I walked out to the parking lot and found Jessica Newton waiting for me."
"Jessica Newton?" Alice was sure she'd heard wrong, sure they'd never fought with Jess as teens but she also wasn't a friend. More of a frinenemy then anything.
"Yeah she said she had talk to me about the party six years ago."
"Oh my god." Alice breathed.
"Yeah I know." Bella grimaced. "I told her to follow me to the store I hope that's ok, I just don't think I could do this by myself.
"Of course come I'm calling Rose right now," Bella nodded and hung up the phone. She steadied herself before starting the car and pulling out of the parking lot seeing Jessica trailing behind her. What was Jessica going to say? Could her heart take it?
Alice hung up the phone with Bella and quickly dialed Rose. "Hey girl what's up?"
"Rose no time for chit chat Rose, Bella is on her way to the store and Jessica Newton is coming with her, Jessica says she has news about the party."
"I'm on my way." And with that Rose hung up and grabbed her purse. She was at the door when Emmett opened it and they almost collided.
"And where are you going?"
"Alice's store."
"Why?"
"No time to explain." With that she grabbed her coat and car keys and was out of the door. Emmett stood their feeling as though he'd just been through a tornado.
Emmett: Hey Jasper do you have any idea what's up with the girls?
Jasper: No but I did see Bella talking to Jessica after school today.
Emmett: Oh man.
Jasper: I know
Emmett: Why do I feel like I'm back in High school
Jasper: Not sure but I feel the same way.
Both guys put their phones away and wondered if they should run for cover or not.
Bella parked outside of Alice's and slowly got out, locking her car and looking behind her at Jessica. She walked into the store and Alice rushed to her hugging her tightly. She looked over her shoulder. "Jessica," she said coldly. Just then Rose rushed through the door.
"I'm here." She glared at Jessica. Alice hurried forward and flipped the closed sign on the door also locking it. She led them back to her office and shut the door. She stood in front of it her arms crossed.
"OK Jessica what's your deal."
Rose took Alice by the arm and lead her over to the chair forcing her into her seat. Jessica looked around the room nervously biting her lower lip finally she started to talk.
"Lauren was always jealous of you Bella, she wanted to be you. The perfect boyfriend the perfect friends and the perfect future."
"And your point?" Alice snipped.
"I'm getting there." Jessica threw back. "Anyway Lauren wanted to be you or more truly wanted to be a Cullen she wanted the name, the money, everything.
"Again nothing we didn't know." Alice rolled her eyes. Bella glared silencing Alice.
" I got bored really easily in High School I was easily led and not to mention I was sure Mike was in love with Bella." This made Bella want to laugh out loud but she didn't and let Jessica continue her story. "Anyway it all started two nights before the party. We heard Edward talking to some people saying how he wanted to let loose, how he wanted to have fun at Mike's party. That's when Lauren came up with the idea. Here she paused looking around.
"What was the idea?" Rose asked with deadly calm.
With a shaky breath Jessica continued. "We were suppose to make sure Edward got really drunk, that was part one."
"And part two." Alice snapped.
"That involved us getting Edward to Kiss Lauren, Which he did but he pulled away quickly and walked away."
"And," Bella's foot was tapping a hard rhyam on the floor.
"So we got him even more drunk and got him to kiss her again, but no matter what we did or said we couldn't get him to sleep with her. So a few drinks later he was passed out. He dragged him to one of the bedrooms and stripped him of all his clothes." Here Jessica's face flushed. Rose and Alice looked like she was going to claw her eyes out and Bella looked like she was going to fall apart. Jessica continued."We then stripped Lauren down and situated them. When Edward woke in the morning he assumed he'd slept with Lauren. That part of the plan was a success. We waited a few weeks and right before graduation we got a pregnancy test."
"But how the hell did you fake it." Bella spoke her whole body shaking.
"well you see Lauren's cousin Elsa had just found out she was pregnant and we took one of the positive ones out of the trash. Now you know Edward he's trusting so of course he wasn't going to question it. After all he'd woken up naked next to Lauren only a few weeks previous."
"Bitch." Alice seethed. Rose had to hold her back from slapping Jessica.
"How come you told me Edward was drunk though how come you didn't just let me think he slept with Lauren for no reason?" finally Bella asked the question that had been running through her head.
"Here's where I started to feel bad so I told you about the drinking but not enough to make you question anything You left and then Lauren was with Edward only in so much as he took care of her and promised to help with the baby, but he never produced the ring she wanted. "
"What was she going to do she couldn't pretend pregnant for nine months." Alice said remembering the weeks after Lauren said she was pregnant and Bella left.
"She was hoping for a quick engagement and marriage. Then she would say she had a miscarriage. Only she never got it and she started to party and drink. Edward caught her and she still told him she had a miscarriage. I found him in the park and told him she'd never been pregnant but nothing more. Bella was gone its not like things could be fixed. I still don't think he knows what to believe about it. At that point I wasn't willing to tell the truth. I still can't believe I'm telling you the truth right now but Lauren called me this morning and wanted me in on another plan she wants Edward still after 6 years and she wants Bella gone."
"Why now Jessica? Rose asked.
"As a mother I've grown up and I guess I would never want this to happen to my son Bella's back and maybe things can be fixed."
"Yes well thanks for that." Alice glared. "Now out." She pointed at the door and Jessica left in a hurry not wanting to be on the receiving end of the Cullen woman's anger. Alice watched the door closed. She wasn't paying attention to much of her surroundings until Rose yelled.
"Bella." She turned around swiftly and watched as Bella crumbled to the floor.
