Authors Note: Hey guys, I just wanted to say that the reason im not updating so much is because I just got back to school, and we all know how that is. I read my story yesterday and decided that I did infact, leave a lot out. Such as all the time Bella spent at the hotel, going to school, and having a job. So this is just a little piece I decided to add.
*Bella*
(Two Months Pregnant)
I was just starting to fully adjust to the idea of being pregnant. I had just got home from school, and I was starving. I drove to the store, and got enough food to last me a few weeks. When I got to the register, I pulled out my wallet. My eyes widened in horror when I saw that I only had three hundred dollars. I sighed, I knew this day would come. When I first moved out of Charlie's, I withdrew all of my money from the bank. I had exactly $5,063 and fifty six cents. I had spent $3,000 on the hotel. I had only been there a month, but I payed for last month and the next four months in advance.
I payed for the food, wincing when it cost $98. I took the bags to my old truck and started it. I looked down at my small baby bump. I knew I needed to get a job, maybe even two. I frowned as I pulled into Mike Newton's family owned store. There had offered me a job before, but I politely declined. That was in the beginning of the summer, and I had wanted to spend time with Edward this summer. " Hello Bella." Mrs. Newton said, almost as soon as I walked in. " Erm, Mrs. Newton, is it possible I could still get that job?" I asked in a shy voice. She smiled brightly at me and nodded. She held one finger up and walked away. When she returned, she held a hideous blue vest. She handed it to me. And I gladly accepted, I would do anything for my babies.
When I got to the hotel, I took all my bags up. Though I was happy with my job at Newton's, I was afraid I would need more money. I walked down to the restaurant area of the hotel. The owner of the hotel was standing at the seating booth, smiling politely at me. I walked over to her. " Um, Mrs. Vargo, do you have any open jobs here? If even for a few hours a week?" I asked her. She nodded at me. " Yes, I actually need some help. I could hire you to work every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 6-10. The pay is pretty good, $13 an hour." I almost squealed from being so happy.
I thanked her, and walked upstairs. It was going to be hard, I was going to work at the Newtons on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. So my only day off, would be Sunday. I would gladly give up Sundays if it would help my children. As I put the groceries away, I though about Charlie. I haven't heard from him in a month. I shrugged, trying not to cry as I started making dinner.
*Two Months Later*
It was Saturday night, and I was just finishing my shift at the resturhaunt when Jacob walked in. He smiled at me, and sat on the stool close to the counter. Just like he does almost every day, when he comes to visit me. The jobs were going great, I wasn't spending too much money, because all I needed to buy was food. I made around $350 a week. I usually only spent around $50 a week. This of course was for gas, food, and everything else I need to live. Every extra penny I had went straight to my bank account.
