My dad squeezes my hand tighter.

Edward's expression seems to reflect what I feel.

Guilt.

Shame.

Regret.

Doubt.

Innocent people are about to be hurt.

Family.

Friends.

I close my eyes, waiting for someone to break the unbearable silence.

What if I made the wrong choice?

Edward told me to get rid of the problem.

My mother said to face it.

What have I done?

My hands shake.

A tears slides down my cheek.

Finally, someone reveals the truth.

"Bella is pregnant."

I open my eyes.

Esme's beautiful smile fades as realization sets in.

Her stare makes me feel weak and exposed.


One more to follow.
