Chapter 2: Eight weeks later
I couldn't stop the tears from spilling over as the doctor told me the 'happy' news. I was pregnant. Pregnant! I couldn't believe it. Why did this have to happen?! Why me? Of course I would get pregnant after my first sexual experience; I was just so damn lucky! And to have the father be Edward Cullen - Oh god, I was gonna be sick!
I ran out of the room as fast as I could and into the first bathroom I came acros and puked my guts out. Oh god, how could I have ever been this stupid! If only I'd never gone to that party two months ago, none of this would be happening now. I was such an idiot!
What was I going to tell my parents? Or Edward? Or Alice, my best friend? What would people think of me? God, they'd think I was just some big, enormous slut! A big, stupid, ignorant slut who got herself pregnant because of a one night stand. Oh god, Oh god, Oh god!!!
I drove home in tears, driving extra slow so nothing would happen to me or the - *gulp* - baby. I parked my big, red, beat up, pick up truck in my usual spot on the driveway, shut it off and just stayed seated in my truck. I knew both my parents would be home today and I was terrified to go in and confront them.
What if they hated me?! What if they kicked me out? What would I do? Where would I go? Would they force me to have an abortion? No! Anything but that! I would NOT allow them to kill my baby. I may not have wanted this, but I sure as hell wasn't going to kill this baby because of my mistake.
I sighed and re-started my engine - I couldn't face them, not yet. There was only one person who I would be able to talk to right now, and that was Alice. I drove to her house, only to be disappointed when I saw her car wasn't in the driveway - she wasn't home. I grabbed my cell and called her, hoping I would be able to stop sobbing long enough to talk to her.
"Hey Bella," Alice answered on the first ring. I was going to answer her, but as soon as I heard her voice I started to cry again, hysterically.
"Bella, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She asked, but I couldn't answer her, I just couldn't. She kept asking me the same things, but all I could do was cry into the phone.
"Alice, what's going on?" I could hear another, male, voice say through the phone.
"I don't know. It's Bella, but she won't talk to me, she just keep crying. I'm scared, Jazz," she answered, still on the line. Jazz, so Jasper was with her. Jasper was her long time crush and she and him had begun dating after that unthinkable party. He was nice, a good guy. Unlike his best friend, Edward. Knowing him, he'd probably laugh when I told him about the baby. God, I was so screwed.
I could still hear Alice and Jasper on the other line, but I was no longer listening to what they were saying. I just continued to sit in her driveway and cried - if her parents came home, they'd probably think I had gone crazy or something.
At some point, I don't know when, my car door opened and I was enveloped into a hug by arms I would recognize anywhere - Alice. I cried even harder when I was in her arms and I didn't stop for a long time. Eventually, I did stop and Alice helped me out of the car and into her house - I would've thought Jasper would be with her, but he wasn't, for which I was thankfull. We went up to her room and sat down on her bed, neither one of us saying anything for a very long time.
"I'm in trouble, Alice," I finally whispered, breaking the silence.
"What happened? You know you can tell me anything," Alice said, looking me in the eye, swearing she would be there for me no matter what. I took a few deep breaths to prepare myself for what I had to say, and then just spit it out.
"I'm pregnant," I said, my voice surprisingly steady considering the state I was in. Alice' eyes widened in shock and disbelief, she opened her mouth several times to say something, but nothing seemed to come out.
I turned my face away from hers, ashamed. Did she hate me now? Would she yell at me and tell me to leave and never talk to her again? God, I hoped not. I don't think I'd be able to go through all of this without her.
"H-how? Who? When?" She asked once the shock wore off - three exellent questions indeed. I still didn't look her in the eye when I told her the entire story, starting with the party, followed by the morning after and Edward's cruel words, and ending with the end result; I'm pregnant.
"I am so going to kill that stupid prick," she muttered under her breath, then looked me in the eyes.
"You need to tell Edward first. He may be a bastard that ought to be castrated, but he is the father, after all. I'll come with you, if you need me. I'm here for you, Bella, every step of the way," She vowed to me and hugged me, again, and I cried in her arms, again. I feared the next conversation I would have, dreaded it with all my heart. I was so scared of what would happen.
What if everything falls apart and I end up alone? What was going to happen now? I had no answers at all, and it all scared me to no end.
