Part 9 - Aftermath of the Meeting

Few weeks after that town meeting, Seth and Bella was told by Lauren's dad who came down to their house, first to apologise for their behaviour back at the meeting, and also to tell them, that his daugther and Jessica both had been told of having contracted HIV/AIDS, as they had both diseases, and that had devastated not only themselves of having it, but also their parents, who was furious and seriously hurt by their uncarefulness of being protected while having underaged sex and that they kept going at it despite their diagnosis too. As most of their friends even exes were distancing themselves from the two girls, as they didnt feel they were even trustworthy with anything really.

Bella was not really surprised by what he told them, but shocked that both girls had the two deadliest diseases and now the tracking of all men and boys they had slept with had to be contacted and tested for the diseases too, including Paul, but Paul was all clear from the HIV/AIDS and getting herpes by Jessica a year ago. Him being a shapeshifter had healed everything, but he still got regulary tested just for he wanted to be on safe side and not getting a girl either pregnant by himself or getting disease from himself or onto himself ever again, for the herpes was horrid to have even.

Seth had been pissed at first, but he took the apology of said man to his heart, as he could see how much his own wife and daugther had been like to him and he was now finally awaken to the full scope of truth and needed help to how to move on from this now, and Seth and Bella were both more than happy to try and help him out with anything really, as they both felt that he had done nothing wrong in anything.

Meanwhile, Jessica and Lauren was forcefully taken to a sex-addictive clinic to get the help they both desperately needed both with medication for rest of their life and know what was going to be their lives from this moment on, and be removed from any toxic people in their lives, except for their now not so clueless fathers to see and visit them whenever they wanted to. But not yet, as the girls clearly needed to be isolated and away from everyone in their life. Their boyfriends at the time of the revelations had also broken up with them for good, as they too had be tested and luckily not one of them had gotten contracted with anything from the girls, as they never had slept with them at least not knowingly, but the tests showed them being virgins still, so that made the two boys happy knowing that they still were. Mike and Tyler went down with hung heads and apologised to Bella in person, and she accepted their apologises, but it would take time to trust them again, and they both agreed on that too.

The Cullens on other hand still tried to get in contact with Bella in any shape and form they could, weither ringing her phone in the middle of the night, waking Seth up too by it, or trying when she was out to doing grocery shopping to abduct her away to talk to her more privately, but after one attempt, she always had Seth with her or one of her family members there with her so they never were able to talk to her privately. Edward still gave her any longing looks in public, and Bella was frankly getting tired of this behaviour of all the Cullens not only Edward now. Seth was seething in silent anger of their behaviour too. So was most of the pack doing.
