Chapter 8
Lost Mom
When I pulled into Emily's drive way I was shocked to see only Emily's car. I had assumed that there would have been a slew of people here, if there had really been something wrong.
Before I could even knock on the door it was thrown open. Emily pulled me in by my arms and quickly began to lead me further into the house.
"It's really, really bad Bella. I'm not even sure what to do. They just left him here for me to handle. I mean do I look like a doctor. No, I don't!" She said franticly still pushing me towards where I assumed Jake was.
"What happened?" I asked trying to get a word in.
"I'm not even sure. I was just sitting watching TV and they just busted in. They said that there and been some kind of incident. They put Jake in my spare room and then told me to take care of him."
"Is he hurt does he need a hospital?"
"I don't think so but he is pretty banged up. I don't think they wanted to go to a hospital in-case someone started to ask question."
"Wait Emily, are you saying that you think he got hurt doing something illegal?"
"You didn't hear me say that." she said opening a door at the end of the hall.
The room was small with only a small bed and a small lap on a end table. Jake was laying in the bed with an eerie glow on his face from the lamp. He was completely asleep, but didn't look at all peaceful. Even though I wanted to wake him and demand to know what was going on, I didn't. I started to back out of the room and once Emily realized I wasn't next to her, she followed me.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I…don't' know."
"OK?"
"Look can you get him to call me when he wakes up?"
"Yeah, sure I guess. I thought you would want to sit with him at least."
"I do, but their isn't much I can do. Just get him to call me ok?"
"Alright."
I didn't hesitate as I hurried out the door back to the safety of my car. I started driving around aimlessly as I though everything over. What had happened to him? Did I even want to know. I mean I had enough on my plate to worry about than Jake getting himself into something stupid. Then getting himself hurt!
I somehow ended up at home and quietly made my way into the house. All lights were off and I stumbled a little as I went up to my room. I lay in my bed wishing sleep would find me sooner. Any way that I could escape all the choices that had led me to where I was now.
I realized that it was suddenly bright and I put my hand over my face to block it out. I guessed it was morning when had I fallen asleep?
"Well are you going to get up or just stay in bed all day?" I heard my mom ask.
I opened my eyes and smiled up at her as she put away some of my laundry.
"I was thinking about taking permeate residents on this bed." I joked.
"Then it's a hug a day for rent." she laughed.
"Wow the economy really has gone down." It felt nice to joke around with my mom and I could tell by her bright smile that she had really missed this to.
"What do you think of a little girls day out honey?" my mom asked me out of the blue.
"Um not today mom I'm sorry." Even though I really missed doing things with my mom, us spending time together would only up the chances of her noticing there was something different about me. To most people I looked exactly the same as I had three months ago, but to someone who really cared about me like my mom, would tell I'd gained a little weight in the mid section.
"Aw come on Bella I feel that we haven't spent as much time together as we use too?"
"That's not true mom, I see you ever day."
"Yes but it's not the same. I miss you Isabella Marie." Great she was pulling out the real name.
"Me to, but I… already promised Alice I'd go to the mall with her."
"Oh well, she wouldn't mind if I tagged along would she?" Wow she was desperate to spend time with me if she was willing to endure an Alice shopping trip.
"I guess she wouldn't, but I think she wanted to talk boys. You know Jasper and such. I think it might be a little weird for her to do that with his mom there don't you think?"
"And it's not weird with his sister?"
"Hey I was her friend before she was his girlfriend."
"I get it, I get it. You don't want your lame old mom tagging along." She pulled out her famous pout that was known to make a person change their minds in a second. It was the reason my father no longer had a beard that made him look like an apostle straight out of the Bible.
"Mom you know that's not true, you are still the coolest mom on the block." Might as well boost her ego a little.
"The only other mom on this block is old Mrs. Arnold and I'd hope I was cooler than a sixty eight year old bingo playing elder."
"You know what I mean."
"Fine, but can I at least take my only daughter out for ice cream?"
Dang she knew how to get me. Her pout mixed with the fact that I was craving ice cream, like a diabetic, broke me.
"Alright but let me throw on a hoodie." I said as I went to my closet to grab one. I threw on my baggiest hoodie for good measure and slipped on some flip flops.
"What's this Bella?" my mom asked from across the room.
I looked up to see her holding a book that she had gotten out of my desk. It was a book Alice had gotten me called, So Your Pregnant Now What?
"
Did you just go threw my desk?" I demanded.
"I was just picking up your desk a little, but you didn't answer me. What is this?"
"My personal items that's what!" I fumed.
"Well I don't think it gets more personal than a pregnancy book!", she yelled.
"When it's in my desk it is."
"A desk I bought! I just can't believe you were hiding this from me!"
"I wasn't going to, I just couldn't… I just didn't…" I said losing steam as I felt more and more guilty.
"No Bella, I don't want to hear it, there is no excuse for hiding a thing like this from me."
"If you would just let me explain."
"Explain what? That you are reading a pregnancy book behind my back. I just can't believe this, Bella I thought I taught you kids better."
"You did mom, I made a mistake." Her eyes softened a little bit and she quickly grabbed me up into a tight hug.
"Yes, you should have came straight to me."
"I know that now." I rested my head on her shoulder and felt like a large weight had been taken off of mine. For the first time since forever I finally felt like every was going to be ok.
"Just wait till I get a hold of that Jasper!" she said.
"Jasper?"
"Yes, Jasper! Getting a girl pregnant and hiding it from me. Then having his poor younger sister trying to look up things for him. I'm glad you guys stuck together, but never the less he should have came straight to me."
"Wait mom Jasper didn't…" I tried to explain but she cut me off.
"Exactly he didn't. Didn't think, didn't use precautions." She started up again, letting me go and heading out of the room. I knew she was pretty much past reason.
"Mom wait please just listen!"
"We will talk later Bella, I need to go find that boy."
"
Wait, mom no!" I started running after her, but for a middle aged woman she was fast when determined.
I finally caught up enough to her to grab her arm, trying to stop her.
"What?" she asked a little annoyed.
"Alice isn't the one that's pregnant."
"Then who is?"
I
looked into her eyes, memorizing how she looked at me. I knew she would never look at me the same after I told her that it was me.
"It's me mom."
"What's you?"
"I'm…the one that's pregnant."
Her eyes widened and the blood seemed to complete leave her face.
"You?" she whispered.
"Yes me."
She stared at me silently for what felt like hours. I wasn't sure if she was expecting me to start laughing and say I was just kidding.
"Mom… I…"
She held up her hand to silence me as she started towards her room. I watched as she shut the door and heard it lock. I stood there stunned waiting for her to come back out.
"Hey Bells." Jasper said walking down the hall.
"Hi."
"What's wrong?" he asked concerned. I guessed my face showed what was going on in the inside.
Withering pain and disappointment.
"Bella really what's wrong?"
"I think I just lost my mom."
