"Bella, listen I'm sorry for yesterday... I-I didn't mean to, I-I've realised what you did when you were younger isn't you at all. Past is past right. I'd rather have you as a friend and loose the ones I have." She stuttered tears pouring softly down her pale cheek.

Huh? What did I do when I was younger ...THAT MADE HER HATE ME? I'm confused...

"Umm, okay you've lost me. What did I do when I was younger?" I asked confused as ever.

"You know... the whole ordeal with Jacob. I think his surname is Black." She said with wide eyes that searched mine. One of my brown eyebrows rose up into an arch.

"Bella, you don't want me to spell it out for you do you?" She chuckled without humour. When she noticed my face, blank from any answers, she looked down thinking deeply to herself. What about my Jacob?

"Bella, don't you remember two years ago... T-That's the reason why Alice and the Cullen's don't like you. But I admit, when I first heard it, I was shell-shocked. You seemed so sweet, so selfless and to hear what you did was shocking. But I know now, that's the past not future." She babbled on, with a few breaths there and there, gazing off into the background.

I stood there, my world stood still. Time seemed to stop completely. I could faintly hear my heart pump. They hate me because of Jacob. Jacob. I knew they hated him with passion for some unknown reason to me, but they made up a rumour because they didn't like me hanging out with him. Well they got their wish; Jacob left his reservation to live with his sister in LA. He moved away to the lights and glam, while I'm stuck here still in forks. Lucky me.

"What did they tell you Bree?" I asked, trying to control my rage. I always put Alice and Edward and the Cullen's first before Jacob. I felt my eyes almost tearing up.

"Oh Charlotte Niles told me, not them... She..." I nodded my head at the new information that had been fed to me.

"She told me the things you got up to with him, with who-ever Jacob is. Even when you knew full well that Edward liked you."She said shaking her head looking away from me.

"Everyone knows about your termination on your pregnancy Bella, at 15 years old. How he left you because of it and so you tried to crawl your way back to the Cullen's. So they all stay clear from you." She said not much louder than a whisper.

She was now looking at the large deep cracks in the floor tiles, keeping her eyes away from mine.

I was... confused, angry, pained, but even with all the negative emotions I wanted to laugh at it all. What a stupid rumour, Edward liking me before. Me, pregnant, ME... HAHA

"HaHaHa... You actually believe that? Me, pregnant? Or was? I think you've got it all wrong. Okay I'm goner say something even the Cullen's know... I'm still a virgin, so how could I of gotten pregnant? Ha-ha... That's the worse rumour that I've ever heard" I laughed. She seemed to be calculating in her head.

"What? W-Whoa, say that again." She stuttered utterly confused. She believed it, how? Me? How?

"Isn't that what I should be saying?" I joked, with a full grin on my face. The Cullen's had to create a rumour just to get another friend away from me, how ... how ... sad. Okay I admit, when I spent the last summer I was friends with them, more with Jacob, but they shouldn't of took it so personal. I choose them over him allot more before.

"I would say prove it, but I've already stated that I would rather you as a friend than not, so I'll believe you." She smiled, still slightly unconvinced. But at least it was nice of her to look over something like that.

"Thanks. You know, I know you're still unsure. So I will prove it to you. Um, I had loads of checkups two summers ago, so my doctors can tell you and anyone else who believes that ridiculous rumour." I suggested, smiling.

"Na, but you can show the rest of my old friends if you want... I trust you." She admitted, eyes brows raised, as if she'd been physically blown away. Her body language seemed less tense and I could feel she's opening up around me. She was seen as cold to me before, but she just was disgusted by me from the rumour. I could understand.

The more I thought about the rumour, the more I asked who knew. Did my best friends know, or was it just the Cullen's, Bree and the slut followers. Maybe the whole school knew. The properly thought 'Knocked up at 15, stay clear of her' (NO OFFENCE TO ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN KNOCKED UP AT 15, ITS JUST GOES WITH THE STORY.)

I wonder who came up with the idea. Alice, before, wouldn't be so cruel, but then again her ideas are sophisticated and well-thought out. Rosalie, hated me to an extend when we were kids but we worked through it, and got really close. She's very protective of the group, maybe she created it to protect them from feeling hurt if i ever left them. No that can't be it. Emmett's a prankster, noo... Edward, intelligent but very selfless, or was selfless. Jasper is very well thought out. Good with tactics but what would be his motives. None. Maybe they all up with little details together.

To be honest, it doesn't change the fact what they did.

"Do you want to hang out tomorrow after school?" She asked, full colour to her face. Seems like a start of a nice friendship.

I nodded politely and happily.

But in the back of my head I was planning on visiting the Cullen's soon enough.

Thank you for all the review so far...
