Bella's POV

Quil hadn't answered any of my calls or called me back. I kept trying again and again and it was either one of his parents picking it up. It was either he's sick, sleeping, or wasn't there. It felt like a familiar deja vu. I got the same treatment from Jacob with his father, Billy. For some reason, they were both ignoring me. To put it more bluntly, avoiding me. I didn't know why.

Was it anything that I did?

I couldn't figure out any reasons for Jacob to leave, but I thought of some for Quil.

Was having a baby too much for him at his young age? Was he honestly not ready to do this?

If any of those were the reasons, we could've talked about it. Instead of him having to run away...

The phone calls was getting pointless because it was the same repetitive thing. His parents would answer or I'd leave a voice message, but Quil seemed to have ever received them.

The only thing left to do was to go at his house. I told Charlie I was going to see Quil. I didn't want to jump into too many conclusions about his sudden disappearance to Charlie. I figured I should handle this first and discover what Quil's problem was.

In my truck, I drove to his house and tried not to have a panic attack on the way there. When I arrived, I parked at the driveway and got out of the car. I rang the doorbell and knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered. I assumed nobody was home and maybe I should have called first, but I was getting worried, scared, and desperate. I just had to hear Quil's voice to assure me that either everything was okay or that he may have something going on with him that needed to be discussed.

For the last time, I rang the doorbell and then gave up. I felt tears of frustration and hopelessness in my eyes that I try to blink away and wipe them off with my hands.

Not again...not again... Was all I could think of with horror at having to go through the same thing again just like Edward, Jacob...and now Quil.

My breathing became erratic and everything felt like it was closing in on me. I felt like I was having a panic attack.

"Bella?" A deep voice called my name and I turned around. To my hatred, it was Sam Uley. With two other strong and muscular Native American guys I didn't know. They all were at the same height at being around six feet and had black cropped hair.

Sam was the man that Jacob was so afraid of joining, and now, he had somehow successfully manipulated him to become an official member of his gang...or whatever he had going on. I knew he even had something to do with Quil being gone. Quil knew that those guys were looking at him as if they couldn't wait to join them.

"What are you doing here?" He had the nerve to ask me. His expression was unreadable, but I hoped he could clearly see how livid I was.

"What am I doing here?! What are you doing here?! Where's Jacob, huh?! How about Quil?! You must have gotten what you wanted from them. You've brainwashed them both to join you!"

Confusion was on Sam's face, but I didn't see what could puzzle him.

"Look, Swan, you have no idea what you're babbling on about," The other guy next to him was walking forward, but kept a good distance from me. He had sharper features than the other two. "Maybe Quil left you because he didn't want to feel like you got him baby trapped anymore." He said smugly with a smirk on his face.

"Paul!" Sam and their other friend scolded him, but it only made the cocky smirk grew wider. As if proud that he had got to me.

His words did feel like a slap to my face. I knew Quil was still young and had a whole life ahead of him before he could even think and desire of becoming a father. I didn't mean to put him into this situation. Quil could feel like he was trapped which explained why that he ran away. All the bravery, confidence, and anger I previously felt was slowly fizzling out as much more sensitive emotions was overpowering me. I felt depressed and scared. I was extremely worried for Quil and just wanted to know what happened to him and where he was. The threat of tears to appear was looming over me, but I tried not to cry in front of them. They didn't need to see my vulnerability especially when 'Paul' seemed to absorb my pain.

"Please, tell me what happened to Jacob and Quil," I swallowed and felt a hard lump in my throat. "Just so I can know they're okay."

"They're fine, Bella, and they're with us now," With you doing what? That's what I wanted to know. Why couldn't Sam tell me anything?! "That's all you need to know."

I couldn't believe what he was saying...

"You do know Quil is my baby's father?" I had to get that through his head. "That's why I need to know. Can't you just bring him to me so I can talk to him-"

"No, Bella," That was all he said. The walls around me was closing in on me more and more. "Jake and Quil are in good hands with us. I'm aware of your condition, but it's not best for him to see you right now-"

That got me beyond furious. Sam acted as if he knew Quil better. "How do you know what's best for him or not-"

"Bella, I'm sorry, but-" His shallow apology didn't mean anything by how he sounded.

What was with all the secrecy?

"No! You're not! You don't care that you have to keep me as a single parent! You don't care that you've ruined mine, Jake's or Quil's lives! They didn't want this!"

Sam tiredly sighed. "I think you should just go now, Bella."

"Yeah, you're acting very hormonal and on edge," Paul snickered and every word that came out of his mouth made me more infuriated. I was almost unable to contain it. "So, why don't you just-"

My hand slapped his face and I immediately held it in pain. He wasn't even affected by it at all, but looked absolutely enraged at me and was shaking terribly.

Was Paul having a seizure? What's wrong with him?

The more I examined him trying to figure out what was wrong, I felt strong arms forcefully pulling me out of the way and to my truck.

"Bella, run! Get out of here!" Sam ordered and turned to Paul trying to calm him down.

It was the other guy who was hurriedly leading me to my truck. My fingers nervously fumbled to open the door, but I did.

"Go home, Bella."

I knew I didn't need to be told twice.

I turned the engine on and started to drive away as fast as possible without looking back.

At home, I went straight for my bedroom to try and comprehend everything that happened before having a complete meltdown.

Quil joined Sam and didn't want me anymore. Maybe Paul was right about me baby trapping Quil even though that wasn't my intention. But that could've been Quil's thoughts too. I didn't know. I really missed him and wanted so badly to see him again. Have him be with me and spend time together...

Also, what was with Paul's anger?

My mind was rushing all over the place.

Lying on my bed, I broke down into tears after I have lost three important people in my life. The ones who I love...who I thought I love...Now they're all gone...

When I opened my eyes again, I realized from looking at the window it was evening and the sun was setting down.

"Bella? Are you hungry?" Charlie asked me. "You need to eat. I don't think you've eaten anything all day."

"I'm not hungry..." I muttered and I felt myself spiraling down to my depression again like what happened with Edward.

"Bella, you should eat something. It's not good for you and the baby if you don't." He reminded my of my child. The only thing right now that kept me living.

Edward, Jacob, and Quil was allowed to go as they pleased. I couldn't quit right now like I had last time. My child was my main priority and who I love the most.

"You're right, Dad," I said as I got up from my bed and went to him. "I should eat something."

Charlie's eyes stared at me as if he's studying me. He knew something was off with me today. "Is there anything wrong, Bella? You don't act like yourself."

Might as well tell him the truth. It seemed like Quil won't ever come back in the nearest future. My mouth felt dry when I talked.

"Quil...he left me..." My voice was so quiet that you could barely hear it, but I knew he did because of how shocked he was and that he's keeping his rage in.

"That son of a bitch left you?! While you're still pregnant-"

"Char-Dad, don't. Just don't, alright? It's his choice and he's too young to be a father anyway. Please don't bother or harass him."

"But, Bella, honey, a real man wouldn't leave you alone like this. You can't raise a baby on your own-"

"I will if that's what I have to do!" I couldn't help to argue. I wasn't angry at Charlie, not even at Quil. I was mostly mad at Sam. For him keeping Quil and Jacob away from me. I had to calm down because Charlie didn't deserve my attitude. He only cared and worried about me. "I'm sorry, Dad, but I just have to think about what's best for me and the baby right now. And if being a single mother is what I have to do then so be it."

Charlie looked like he wanted to argue with me more, but he didn't. He just ran a hand through his brown hair stressfully.

"Since you have a lot on your plate, you don't have to cook. We can get something-"

"No. Cooking is what distracts me from...all of this. I don't mind." I interrupted and walked passed him to go downstairs.

After dinner, I just went to bed feeling tired after today's events. The no phone calls from Quil, Paul's temper, and coping that Quil left me for whatever reason.

In the middle of the night, my eyes opened and I got out of bed so I could go to the bathroom. Peeing happened frequently while I was pregnant lately.

When I returned to my dark bedroom with a little of the moon's silvery light illuminating through my window, I saw someone in my bedroom that made me want to scream.

A vampire.
