I slowly drove to school. I didn't know what to expect. Would I see Alice and Edward before school started? They would be the only ones I knew. Once I arrived, I picked a parking spot, and walked towards the building.

"Bella, you made it!" Edward eagerly said. I smiled.

"Where do I get my schedule?"

"The front office. Here, I'll take you there."

During English, a boy with blond hair came up to me. "Are you Isabella Swan?"

I sighed. "Bella."

"Hi, I'm Mike. Alice told me to watch out for you. She said you may be lonely here. Do you want to hang out after school?"

"Umm, not tonight. I have something with my foster parents, parental bonding or something. Maybe another time."

"How 'bout tomorrow?"

"Sure."
"Great, I'll pick you up at seven."

Edward walked over to me, looking troubled. As we headed out the door he said, "I didn't mean to eves drop or anything, but you're bonding with Aunt Jerry and Uncle Sandy?" I chuckled.

"No, I didn't want to hang out with him tonight. I want to get used to the area first."

"Do you want to come over for dinner? Mom and Dad will be happy to have you."

"Sure, what time do you want me over?"

"Does six sound good to you?"

"It sounds great." He smiled.

My cell phone beeped. I took it out, and checked it out. I had one unread text.

I would love another special night together. Meet at the Radison hotel in San Fran. See you soon, Z.

"Who is that?"
"Zach, one of my friends. I called him last night telling him a little about Forks, that's all." I couldn't help but notice how Edward's face fell a tiny bit.

"Well, here's the cafeteria. You hungry?"

"Yeah."

When I got home, I took out a joint. I've been itching for one all day. I went to the back yard, and lit the marijuana. A sudden pain stabbed my stomach. I felt nauseous. I dropped the unlit weed and ran to the bathroom. After three hours, I laid my head against the cold tile. "Bella?" Jerry called, as she came into the house.

"In here," I croaked. She came into the bathroom.

"Oh dear," she exclaimed. "What happened?"

"I'm sick. Can you hand me my cell phone? It's in my backpack."
"Why-"

"I made plans with Edward at six. I need to call and cancel." She turned around to get my backpack, but I didn't miss the pleased look in her eye.

"Here," she handed me the phone. "I dialed the number for you."

"Hello?"

"Edward?"

"Yeah?"
"It's Bella."
"Oh, Bella, you sound awful. What happened to you?"

"I'm sorry, Edward, I'm sick. I have to cancel our plans for tonight."

"That's okay," he replied. "I hope you feel better, Bella. Hey, do you want me to drop off your homework tomorrow?"

"Thanks, Edward. That would be great."

The next morning, I drove to the doctors' office. I sat down in the waiting room.

"Bella Swan?" A nurse called. I stood up, and followed her down the corridor. "Please take off your shoes." I stood on the weight machine. 100 pounds. It looked like I've lost weight. She stuck a thermometer in my ear.

"You're temperature's normal. Let's go back into room five." I sat down and waited for the doctor to show up.

"Hello Bella, what seems to be the problem?"

"I've been abnormally depressed the past few weeks. Also, I've been sleeping a lot, but I can't quite get enough rest. I' exhausted all the time. When I got home from school, I puked."

"Hmmm, have you been sexually active?"

"Not in a long time."

"I don't know. It could be mononucleosis, but I think you're pregnant."

I took the test, and sat in the waiting room. "Bella Swan?" a nurse called. I followed her into another room. The doctor was sitting in the corner.

"Do you have a boyfriend, or was this a one time thing?"

"…boyfriend… Why? Are-are you saying I'm pregnant?"

"Yes, Bella." I took a step backwards, tears starting to form.

"No, no I can't be pregnant. I can't be."

"I'm sorry Bella."

"What are my options?"

"There's abortion, but it's not recommended. If you're younger that eighteen, you'll need a guardian or your boyfriend with you." I took a deep breath.

"I'll think about it, and come back to you."

"Bye, Ms. Swan." I left the room with more tears streaming down my face.

"What do you mean you're pregnant?" Zach yelled at me.

"I'm going to have a baby."
"You ungrateful little whore. Why did you cheat on me? I've been nothing but kind to you. I've put my heart and soul into this relationship, and this is what I get? An ungrateful cheating whore of a girlfriend." He pushed me against the wall. My head snapped back, and hit the wall with a hard thump. "Who's you're man toy now? Huh, tell me, Bella. Who's your man toy now? That way I can give him what he deserves."

"Zach, I never cheated on you! How can you think I would do such a thing?"

"I don't know how you could do such a thing. It's your fault you're pregnant because you cheated on me! Now you tell me you're pregnant with some other guy's child. How dare you come in and try to place your burden on me." He drew his hand back, and let it fly forward, hitting my right eye.

I sunk down to my knees, cowering in the corner. "Zach, stop, stop," I pleaded. He grabbed my arm and yanked me up.

"Come with me." He dragged me out of our room, and towards the stairs. He yanked me in front of him, and shoved me forward. I fell down the stairs, twisting my ankle in the process.

I hit the bottom with a hard smack. Everything hurt. I saw Zach glare at me, and then turn and walk away.

I was tired of pain. It wasn't the physical pain that hurt the most, though. I loved Zach, and I couldn't think of a future with out him. I opened my purse and dug for cocaine. I wanted the pain to end. I didn't care if I died here and now, I wanted to feel nothing. I wanted to feel no physical attachment to my body.

I took six pills, and blacked out.
