Getting told there is a 'disturbance' in the inside of your body is bad enough. Being told there's a second one. Is heartbreaking.
That's why I was so out of it for the past 2 and a half days. Completely out of it.
I couldn't answer calls. I couldn't make dinner. I could barely get out of bed and take a shower.
I just sat there. All day. I sat. In my room. Outside on the lawn. I got real acquainted with the paint on my wall. I felt useless. And scared. Definitely scared.
I couldn't even talk to Edward when he called. Alice too. I couldn't speak to the people who cared about me. I couldn't speak to the people who didn't care about me.
I just waited. Waited for whatever was in me to eat me alive.

"She's still not answering! Alice what does this mean?" I asked her frantically. We were suppose to go down to Forks tomorrow, but Bella wouldn't answer the phone. She wouldn't talk to anybody, and Charlie wouldn't tell us what was wrong.
"I don't know Edward. Take a breather. I'm sure she's fine." But even as she was saying this I could see her face fall as once again, the four rings on the phone were ignored, and the robotic answering machine told us to leave a message after the tone. "She's fine." Now she was just trying to convince herself.
"Do you think she's just trying to ignore me?"
"Edward , hun, I wish that was only the case. But to tell you the truth. I doubt it. She would have at least talked to me."
"Well that's reassuring." I replied, my voice full of sarcasm. Couldn't she answer just one phone call!
"Hey, you two!" Alice and I turned around at the same time to see Emmett entering the bus. "If you guys want we can start to leave in about 2 hours if we can make the appearance earlier. We should get to Seattle by nightfall, instead of tomorrow so you guys could stop staring at the phone like it could mutate any minute now."
We agreed instantly, and Emmett, Jasper, and I started to call the make up artists up to tell them we need to get ready earlier.
--
We made our appearance, signed autographs and posed for pictures with our Crest smiles. Seriously, Barbie probably had a more believable smile than the one I had planted on my face.
As soon as my watch said 4 I was hauling ass. In record time we got changed out of our rock-esque attire, and into more casual clothing. We got on our bus and on our way to Forks. To Bella.
Three and a half long hours later the scenery started becoming more green, and the mist was turning into water pellets. Even as dark as it was outside, you could tell it was a gloomy day. Which didn't exactly coincide with my giddy, yet terrified mood.
We stopped on the corner of the street next to a very bright and happy looking yellow home. No lights were on, but it looked like it would shine proudly in the daylight with its wrap around porch and soft white shutters. It had a mini garden along its sides, and beside the steps.
Alice stood up.
"Okay we're here-"
"Finally! Do you think Bella's home?" I shot a questioning glance at the vacant home
"Mmm probably-"
"Alice seriously look at that" I told her as I pointed to the house. "A dog wouldn't even be in there by itself."
"Well maybe if you'd let me finish a sentence I could clear up your worries!" she shot me a murderous glare.
"Okay, sorry" I said defensively, I just want answers already. "Continue…"
"As I was saying!" Alice continued, as she sent me more daggers "This is my house, my parents are out of town on a business trip, so you guys can stay here." she said like a good hostess. But I was still getting impatient. When will I get to see Bella? "Bella" she said as she gave me a stern look. "Is at her house, all of you stay here while I go get her. By myself. As in without you Edward. Got it?"
"But why?" I wanted to see her as soon as I could.
"Because there may be a bigger problem than we could ever think of. And though I know you can be a perfect gentleman, Charlie, her father, most likely won't spare you a second glance, and not even let Bella out. Especially because he's probably stressed out. I'll butter them both up and try to get her over here. Then you can see her for as long as she wants to. Got it?"
I nodded once hoping she would just go and get Bella already.
"Okay." she agreed as she trailed us into her house.
The inside would probably warm any home-decorating mother's heart. But I didn't pay attention to it. I couldn't. All I could think of was Bella. Bella, Bella, and Bella.

"Tell her I'll see in her in the morning!" I called down the stairs. I was expecting them tomorrow anyway. It won't hurt to wait 12 more hours.
"Bella you are coming downstairs and coming over, and you're doing it now!" Alice's adamant voice told me as it traveled up the steps.
Then seconds later knocks were pounding my door.
"Al, Go Away!" I shouted at the locked door.
"No way! You ignored me for like 3 days now, you are coming out of you're room, and getting out of this house! Even Charlie thinks it's a good idea for you to come out!"
And before I had a chance to respond I had jeans and a hoodie on, and was being, as close to literal as you can get, dragged out the door.
"Traitor." I murmured in Charlie's direction on the sofa, loud enough to hear, and he gave me an apologetic smile. Guess who's gonna be having pizza for the rest of the week. I wanted to tell him, but was already out the door.
"Alice let go before I permanently lose all blood flow to my hand!"
"Will you promise not to run back to you're house?" she inquired.
"Promise." I sighed.
She gave me a fierce look then let go, and stopped walking. She had a serious look on her face now. It also seemed a little sad.
"What happened Bella?"
"What do you mean? You're the one who forced me out of my own house." I told her, avoiding the obvious.
"You know what I mean. What's with screening all our calls? Is everything-" she cut off, knowing this was too evident. Like when a nurse asks if 'you're feeling okay.' in the doctor's office. "Did things get worse?"
She knew what type of questions to ask. Yes or no's, but that gave a sufficient amount of information. "Yeah." I told her reluctantly.
I sat on a stump, because suddenly I felt that rushing feeling of the world spinning by, and not being able to keep up with anything. Alice sat on the grass beside it. I put my hands over my face and felt the wetness that was flowing endlessly past few days.
Alice rubbed my back and kept telling me everything will be okay. I may have believed her. But I've been told this so many times before. Yeah, things may be okay, but for how long? A day? A week? A year? Until it all blows over again, and it gets worse.
Minutes, maybe an hour, we were sitting outside. Its hard to compose yourself, when you think about how short of a time left you get to actually, be. Live.
I shook my head, ridding all of my thoughts, took a deep breathe.
"They found something else." I said out of the blue.
This would've sounded like a random statement to anyone else. But Alice knew, she always does.
"Malignant?"
I shook my head. "Tomorrow they're going to take a closer look at it, take a piece of it, see if its harming me or not."
She nodded. "Let's go." She said softly. She was on the verge of tears, her bottom lip pouting out softly, and her eyes watering, not enough to overflow. She stood up and I followed her to her house. Before we walked in she looked back at me. "Stay strong." she told me. "If you give up you're taking us all down with you."

I always loved Alice's house. It was usually filled with the scent of fresh cut gardenias, or right-out-of-the-oven chocolate chunk cookies. It was comfy, and cozy, but not right now, filled with two rambunctious guys, and one very anxious one.
"Alice these are delicious!" Emmett said as he was chewing a mouthful of… you know what I didn't even want to know, it looked like mush.
"Bella." Edward stopped pacing the floor and walked over and wrapped his arms around me.
I forgot how much I missed him I hugged him back with so much force, I never wanted to let go. Eventually I had to though, I had to for certain. "Bella, sweetie what's wrong? Don't cry."
He held me even tighter. My tears melted to form their own designs on his shirt.
"Come on, let's go for a walk."
I followed Edward into the dark woods in front of Alice's house. Our whole road faces this forest. From the outside it looks like a scary place, but to a native, its home.
We stopped far enough to be in a darker part of the forest, but close enough to where I could still se Alice's home. I drew in a deep breathe.
"Bella, what's wrong?"
I shrugged, I couldn't get myself to speak, for I knew the words I was going to say will leave both of us hurting.
"W-what did they tell you?" He stammered. He looked so hurt, it took everything I had not to close the few feet between us and hug him. I had to stay strong.
I shook my head at him. I don't know what idea this gesture planted into his mind, but I didn't know what else to do.
"Can you at least tell me why you wouldn't answer my phone calls? Any of our phone calls?" He was getting irritated now, desperate.
I nodded.
"I. Was. Stressed." I spoke each word like they had their own sentence, slowly and surely. I couldn't repeat this twice, he had to hear me.
"About the usual? Or is there something more, something happened? What Bella please you've got to give me some answers I'm dying here." Hah, well you're not the only one mister.
"Of course there's something more!" I told him harshly, I was letting my anger out. My anger about everything I had, and everything I couldn't have. "And this relationship thing we have, its not helping! It just adds to the stress and I can't handle it!" But truthfully, it was the only thing I could handle, I wanted to handle. I started running back to the dim streetlights, but he caught my wrist and pulled me back.
"Bella wait." he said sternly. He didn't say anything after though. I took a glance up at him, his eyes were glistening, he refused to let any of his tears go. I felt Alice's words come back at me Stay strong, if you give up you're taking us all down with you. Of course. Our bond was so strong with each other. If he was weak, then I was weak. But he stayed strong, so I had to also.
"This will be good for the both of us."
I knew what to say this time. Every defense I had for our previous arguments was so that he wouldn't get hurt. I knew this time if I was hurt, then he would let go.
And he did. He let go of my wrist and watched me as I went back to the confines of my own house. And that's all he saw. Not me staying up all night crying, chanting a thousand and one sorry's to the open air hoping it eventually carries them to his ears.

"Bella." a voice sounded on the other side of my door in the morning. "We've gotta leave in about 30 minutes."
"Be right there, dad!" I had to stumble out of bed. I called Alice to come over and help me put makeup on to cover my blotches.
"Holy crap Bella," she said when she saw me.
"I feel horrible, how is he?"
"So you did break up with him? He wouldn't tell me anything. He went straight to the guest room and locked the door."
I just nodded and told her the story as she did my makeup.
"Wow. Maybe you should of done that after you got you're results."
"The sooner the better, Alice. Anyway, I'm not feeling very lucky today. Not so much foundation!"
She shrugged, "You never know."
--
I got to the hospital 10 minutes late because me and Alice kept fighting over my makeup. I just wanted to look normal, not like I should be walking down a runway, try a hallway, with toothpaste colored walls and scratched tiles. It was not a very good start.
"Nice to see you again Bella, Chief Swan." He nodded to both of us. We nodded back. I would've said You too, but I'd only be too happy to have to not see him ever again.
"Come along this way Bella, and we'll see about the item we saw, from the last time we saw you okay?" I nodded again and followed him to the X-Ray room.
I was expecting standard procedure. Do a little work with the X-Rays, then maybe a microscope because its too small, then the operating room to see if they're able to remove whatever is in me or not, or at least to see if it is harmful.
The technician and my doctor talked a little bit, and then they moved on to the microscope, this is where they stopped.
They sent me back to the room, and I waited with Charlie. I had that feeling that happens when you're about to find out a grade. You want to know what you saw, but part of you wishes the teacher just keeps the grade to himself, I want to know, but I don't.
Dr. Moore came back, and had a bit of a skeptical look on his face. Okay, I kind of want to know.
He placed the X-Ray on the screen but didn't turn on its light. Hesitation. Um, maybe I don't want to know.
He sits down, clasps his hands and faces me. Still don't want to know.
"Bella," Hmm, just Bella, not Isabella, this could be okay.. Maybe I want to know?
"When was the last time you're period occurred?" Ugh, one of these questions.
"Last month, not even." I told him like it was so obvious. I don't see why this could be important information.
He nodded. He took a deep breathe then looked at me again, then at Charlie. "I'm going to have to ask Bella some private things, if you could excuse us for a moment."
Charlie's eyes looked like they might pop out. He just stared at the doctor, then at me. I shrugged. It took him a while, but he nodded and stepped out of the room. Suddenly, Dr. Moore seemed kind of intimidating.
"Now Bella, I'm going to ask you some questions, You must answer them truthfully in order for us to diagnose you correctly. They are simple yes or no questions, and you do not have to elaborate on you're answers unless you want to, okay?"
"Will they be used against me in a court of law?" I joked. The intimidating factor wore off, I always feel the need to mess with Dr. Moore.
"No," he answered seriously. "Now, This month you should be expecting you're period, correct?"
"Yes." I sighed.
?Okay, now remember to answer truthfully, are you in anyway sexually active?"
This question had me taken aback. "What? Oh! Goodness. Ugh! Why?"
"Just answer please Ms. Swan." he was getting impatient, I could tell, but even from a doctor, that question felt like it went a little too far.
"No, ew, definitely not." I scoffed, what am I a tramp? Alice! I bet it was this makeup. Instinctively I wiped my face.
"You seemed a little stressed by this question, are you sure you have never and just to be clear, had sex, made love, 'done it'-"
"No! You can stop there. No , no and no! In any way shape or form, I don't even use tampons! They scare the crap out of me! NO!"
"Okay Bella." he told me calmly.
I shook my head irritated I would even be asked that.
"Have you ever been taken advantage of then?" as soon as he asked this that dreadful day I first realized I loved Edward, and I ran away, I ran away, and… oh go, what happened after I passed out?
XxX
"You want to use the phone don't you?"
I said a "Hmph." then said 'Fine! Gimme!" like a little kid.
I forget how many shots I took after that, but Mike kept reassuring me it was only two, I doubt it. Then he kept saying "Just one more you want that phone all don't you?"
Somehow after one more shot I found myself flying on a hard rock? I was in the air… I knew that. Then I landed on something hard. Everything was dark, well my eyes were closed, but I'm petty sure it was dark outside too. For some reason I had random the Eje songs flowing through my mind and I started singing them out loud for all the world to hear. I felt something fling across my face , a hand? ,to silence me.
Then I felt light. The weight of Edward's jacket was no longer on me.. Neither was the tightness of the heels Alice put me in. The vest was loosening its hold and coming off. The skinny jeans were finally letting me breathe and were sliding down my legs. The breeze was comforting in that hot place I was in. Then my shirt was being pulled off, and the breeze flowed across my stomach and on the tops of my breasts. I didn't want the breeze there.
I opened my eyes, and after I was able to get through the blurry vision I saw blonde hair . The hair tilted up, and I saw the eyes of a crazed man. Lust covering every inch of his irises. I realized what was happening, and let out a piercing scream. It was blood curling even to my own ears.
Something was covering my mouth then while I tried to push against it.
I could feel myself getting weak and losing energy.
I passed out soon after from lack of energy, plus shock, plus being drunk.
The last thing I remember was hearing "Shit, they heard you!" and being whisked away.
XxX
"I don't know." I told him honestly. "What did you find exactly?"
He sighed. "We found an embryo, Bella."

Author's note: This website is confusing me! Its soo different! That's what I get for posting so late!I didn't mean to have a little bit of New moon reversal in there, but as I was rereading some chapters it kinda did, and while I was writing this the forest scene just felt right to put in here.
Sorry, cliffy, after cliffy.
On a more positive note I could probably get more writing done since I have no homework (that I know of) for winter break!
Anyway, how many times have you guys seen Twilight?
Me: 4 (before it was out for even a week, and tonight might be my fifth!) (Oh and look when Bella is in the hospital, Twilight is playing in the TV behind Renee!)
Did you see Robert Pattinsons hair cut? I love it! He looks soo adorable! I dont know how they're gonna make it longer for New Moon (I really don't want him to have to wear a wig)
And ew on the fact that KStew smokes marijuana, except I can't help but love her, she's a fantastic actor. And that's her personal thing so…
*Go Team Taylor! I really hope Chris Weitz doesn't replace him!!!!!!
Umm what other twilight news…thinking.. Ahh Twilight dolls?!?! You gotta love them and lunchbox and band aids!!
I saw Thirteen last night on youtube, and Nikki Reed was only 14!?! she looks so much older, I was bawling by the end of the movie, but its pretty good I recommend watching.
Well anyway!! I hope you guys anjoyed this!!! I'm working on the next chapter now! If I don't update soon Happy Holidays to everyone!!
Thank You
