BPOV
As I lay in bed, I thought about my birthday. I was turning 21 tomorrow. Yay. I thought. I finally get to drink legally. I would chug a glass of wine right now. Stupid pregnancy rules. I said, glancing down at my belly, which was starting to protrude. Four more months until the little devil comes.
That baby was the spawn of satan. I had a one-night stand with the one person in the world I could trust. When he found out I was pregnant, he just left. I tried getting helped, but neither Charlie nor Jacob were interested in helping me. I tried pleading with Jacob, telling him I'd name the baby after him. Abortion was out of question. Jacob still said no.
So now I'm stuck here, with shabby Seattle apartment, with no job and no money, living off the miniscule college fund Charlie and I had thrown together at the last minute. But now Charlie doesn't even care about me. I was alone in this world.
All of this was His fault. After he left, everything went downhill. I started spending time with Jessica more and more, and ignoring Angela. Eventually I went to a party, and ended up making out with Mike Newton. (LovetheL, you can blame yourself for that one :D ) Little did I know, Mike was Jessica's boyfriend, and when she caught us she told me to get the fck out. No one at school would talk to me, and because I was so involved with Jessica, I lost Angela, along with all my other friends. I became a loner and eventually dropped out and moved to Seattle. Big Mistake. I hate this town. I eventually met Nick, who helped me through everything, got me a job and then helped me onto my feet. Then I made the mistake of thinking we could ever be more than friends, and he left me. Then I got fired when they found out I was pregnant. I thought that was illegal.
I felt my morning sickness coming, so I ran to the toilet and threw up. Sometimes I think I might be the only person in the world who actually gets their morning sickness in the morning.
I went over to my radio and turned it on. Beat it was playing by Michael Jackson. Quite fitting actually, I wish I could just leave this town. RIP King of Pop I thought, as I walked over and sat down. I was having a strange seafood craving, so I got some sushi out of the fridge for breakfast.
Some days are worse than others. Today was a good day. I went took a taxi over to the park and sat there. Maybe Alice will see me here and Edward comes and gets me. I thought. NO Bella. He hurt you. You don't want him and you don't need him. I thought. But I wouldn't mind seeing Alice again. Or Emmet. Or Carlisle. Or Esme. Or even Jasper. No. I shook those thoughts out of my head. That stage of my life is over.
Now I go by Isabella. Not Bella. Not Izzy either, as Nick used to call me. No more Nicknames. I am Isabella Swan. I am Pregnant, Broke, Ugly, Dirty, Alcoholic, Crack-whore Isabella. I couldn't contain myself anymore, so I buried my head in my hands and started crying. Suddenly someone threw something at me. I looked down to see a quarter laying on the ground next to me. Oh that's embarrassing. I thought. But I took the quarter anyway.
Suddenly I heard someone walk up to me.
"Bella?"
