I woke up to an annoyingly bright light, and an annoying beeping. I slowly opened up my eyes. "Ah, you're finally awake," a doctor in blue scrubs greeted.
"Where-where am I?"
"You're in the hospital. You fell down the stairs in a hotel, trying to see a friend. Fortunately, this young man called 9-1-1. I'm pretty sure he saved your like." I glanced at the man he was talking about. It was Zach.
"Why are you here?" I accused.
"Bella, calm down. Some of your other friends are in the lobby waiting for you to wake up. I'll go get them." As the doctor left, Zach came and sat down next to me.
"I'm sorry, Babe. I didn't mean to hurt you like that. I was drunk; I didn't know what I was doing. We technically never broke up, so can't we pretend this never happened?"
"Zach, I was pushed down the stairs. It could have been dangerous for me."
"Oh, come on Babe. You need me. I mean, nobody can accept the real you. Nobody wants a drug addicted girlfriend. I'm doing you a favor."
"I want you out of this room when I see Alice and the others. Do you understand?"
The doctor came back in. "Zach, I need to speak with Bella alone." He left the room. "Bella, Zach said that you were pregnant."
"Yeah, I am."
"Well, your fall down the stairs killed the fetus. We had to remove it, or you would have died."
"Wait, what day is it?"
"Wednesday. You've been out of it for a long time."

I slammed the taxi door shut. Jerry ran out the door. "Oh my god, Bella! What happened to you?"
"Didn't
the doctors tell you?"
"No, they just said that you were in
the hospital."
"Oh,
well I became tired on Friday night, so I checked into a hotel. In
the morning, I guess I tripped and fell down the stairs."
"You
guess?"
"I don't really remember it."
"Let's get you inside. I don't want you to get sick from this experience."
"Can I still go to school tomorrow? I can't miss any more school."
"Sure," she replied surprised. "Don't you want to take a day off?"
"No, I've been unconscious in a hospital for too long."

The next day at school was brutal. Everyone stared at me, and the braver ones asked questions. Edward was the first one who asked me what happened.
"What happened this weekend? Aunt Jerry was worried sick."
"I was unconscious in a hospital for three days. I didn't get back until yesterday evening. Apparently the doctors didn't tell her anything. I wonder why."
"Are you
okay?"
"Yeah, I'm peachy," I lied.
During
lunch, Mike pulled me to a private corner. "Bella, I don't
believe you fell down the stairs."
"Well, I did," I snapped.
"That's not what I meant. Alice told me all about you and your friends. I know you've been dating Zach for a couple of years now."
"So?"
"I think he pushed you down the stairs, and I want to know why." I looked around the cafeteria.
"Not here."
"How
'bout after school, we could hang out."
"Okay."
I met Mike after school, and went to a secluded area. He gave me a joint and a lighter. "So why did Zach push you down the stairs?"
"He got mad at me because he believed I was cheating on him."
"I know why he became angry. He's cheating on you, and he realizes it's too easy. He accuses you because you might admit to it."
"I've done nothing but show him loyalty."
"It's not enough for him. If you really wanted to keep him as a boyfriend, you should cheat on him. Keep another relationship going, and when he visits you, he'll realize what he's missing."
"I don't want to use anyone like that."
"I'll do it with you. Bella, I know what I'm getting into, and I'm not going to get hurt. Maybe you'll realize Zach isn't worth the trouble."
"What do I do?"
"Come over to my place tonight. I'll show you one heck of a time."

I got home, and changed my outfit. I put on a mini skirt, and a tank top. I was about to leave when Jerry caught me. "Where do you think you're going missy?"
"A friend invited me to dinner tonight. It's a nice restaurant in Port Angeles. I have to dress up."
"You're not going like you're some slut. Go up stairs and change."
"I've gone like this in the past. I don't see what's wrong."
"Fine, but you better be back by nine, or you'll be grounded." I walked out of the house as quickly as I could.
I spent the evening with Mike. We had a great time sitting on the couch, and having sex. I returned home right on time, much to Mike's dismay.
"Can't
you stay a little longer? I had so much fun."
"I can't, or
I'll be grounded. I'll come back tomorrow."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Bella, are you ready yet? We're leaving for Carlisle's house."
"I can't go. I have too much homework due on Monday."
"Edward or Alice can help you with it."
"No, it's make up work. I don't want to bother them. Can't I just stay home?"
"Fine, but this is the only time. You should become friends with Edward and Alice because you'll be seeing them a lot."
"I already have." Jerry left the house with Sandy already in the car. I watched them drive down the street, and then left for Mike's house.
A/N I would like more reviews, but I realize that this story isn't the most appropriate thing out there. I have decided to post when I feel like it, rather based on reviews. Although, I'll want to post more often if I get many reviews…Hop you liked this chapter…
