Chapter thirteen
About three weeks had passed since Edward and I had last been alone, Jane was back and I knew her and Edward were fighting again every time he tired to discuss that things weren't working out she would always change the topic, which ended in her storming off and leaving him alone and feeling like shit, I hated her for it, I could feel the anger building up in my chest just thinking about her.
I always saw him at school, but we were always professional, unfortunately when it came to our relationship, since the last occasion in the cupboard I never stayed behind after class this way it was easier because people would start to suspect after a while. But sometimes on the rare occasion when we passed each other in the crowded halls he would brush my fingertips sending shocks through my body which always left me with a beetroot face and a goofy smile plastered all over my face, price to pay I guess.
I flopped down onto my bed, having no idea how I was going to spend my Friday night; Edward couldn't leave the house so I was stuck on what to do. I sighed knowing that Jane would be leaving tomorrow morning, and I could finally see Edward.
Grabbing my phone, I dialed and waited,
"Bella long time no speak." Alice giggled sarcastic little pixie.
"Alice what? You saw me two hours ago," I stated defensively.
"I'm not retarded Bella I do know that piece of valuable information ughhh......I meant outside of school I never do.... we all never do or my brother seriously Bella snap out of it already geeez," she grumbled.
"You done....if you let me speak at all you would have known I was calling you to see if you wanted to help with some shopping but if you're going to be bitchy ill just hang up."
"Oh my god Bell's yes I'm sorry I'm being miss pixie hell today I really don't mean too." she yelled excitedly through the phone.
"Bell's I'll be there in is okay, thank you! Bell.........." before she was finished she was cut off.
"Alice? Alice? Hello?"
I heard a rustle and then a door slammed close. I sat down on my bed with my phone pressed against my ear feeling terribly confused.
"Alice seriously if you don't answer I'm hanging up in 3......2.......1......"
"Bella"
"Edward?" I questioned confusingly.
"Yes its me, Bella, I had to wrestle Alice for the phone once I realized it was you," he chuckled.
"Edward really you're a 28 year old man do you not think fighting with your teenage sister is a bit to childish?"
"I guess that's what having you in my life does to me, and besides I never hear you complaining."
"Huh .....So Edward what was your mission for taking the phone oh so rudely?" I chuckled.
"Well it was to hear my beautiful Bella's voice....and also ask if you're free this weekend?"
I blushed as he asked about my plans, I knew Charlie was away this weekend, I could feel my mind wander off imagining me and Edward together this weekend. I could suddenly feel butterflies rise in my stomach.
"Well Charlie's away this weekend...but I don't know whether I can I might be too busy washing my hair and watering the plants you know I have been neglecting them lately." I bit my lip to stop myself from laughing.
"I guess your plants need you more than I do so it will just be me alone then in a beautiful suite in Seattle, in a lovely hotel, that I booked us for the weekend." he sighed dramatically.
"Edward you didn't ...not for me I don't want that I don't need that all I want and need is you ...always you."
"Bella I know you hate presents and anything mind-blowing but I just want us to be able to spend time as a real couple, I mean I would finally get to hold your hand and walk next to you I just want to go somewhere where we can be together."
"Edward I want that too but when? How? How will we work this out?"
"I'll have Alice explain everything to you, before she chews the phone out of my hand." he chuckled.
I could hear Alice threatening him in the background, "I swear Edward, I will so help me I will."
"Bell's I have to go...look I'll see you soon I love you don't worry we will be together soon."
"Love you too...but what's Alice talking about?" I questioned.
"Umm ....It's nothing I'll see you later sweetheart."
With that the phone line went dead, I decided to get changed before Alice arrived, I ran to my closet to see what I could wear, that Alice would deem appropriate for an outing. After five minutes I gave up deciding on what she would find suitable. I changed into a vintage rolling stones t-shirt, dark skinny jeans and a pair of my old faithful-my converse.
Hearing the loud beeping coming from my driveway, I grabbed my bag and headed outside just leaving my hair as natural.
I was greeted by a bouncing Alice who crushed my body in a pixie death hug which by the way is bone crushing -ironic huh.
"Bell's come on lets go we're going to Port Angeles." she giggled as she pushed me into the car slamming the door behind me, skipping across the driveway into the other side of her BMW.
*********************************************
Two hours and multiple shopping bags later, Alice was dragging me into yet another fancy boutique that looked exactly the same as the last few I was beginning to regret even asking for her help, I forgot how crazy she got when she was shopping it actually is a proper addiction, I mean once you have seen Alice it just confirms that fact.
I pulled myself along behind her to see her eyeing a beautiful sapphire blue dress, I sighed knowing I could never afford anything like it, It was figure hugging and cut just above the knee, it was plain there was no detail but it was beautiful.
"Bella look at this work of art you have to buy it, look at this cut its amazing," she squealed.
I lifted the price tag to nearly have my eyes fall out of their sockets, right now I knew I definitely couldn't afford it, it cost more than my car well actually it was twice the price of my truck.
"Alice I do not have eight hundred dollars to spend on a dress!" I yelled.
I blinked as I suddenly saw that she was waving something small and black in front of my face-a credit card.
"Where the hell did you get that from?" I questioned confusingly.
"No one Bella it doesn't matter who I got it from all I know is that this dress is perfect for you and we're putting it on the card!" She huffed as she held it up against my body.
I snatched the card out of her dangling hand and immediately searched for a name hoping to not see what I knew was already there, but unfortunately my hopes were squashed because there it was in small sliver letters MR..
I pushed the card back into Alice's chest feeling angry that he had even thought I would use such a thing it was absolutely ridiculous.
"Alice please put that away; I can not believe you even took it from him thinking I would touch it!" I scoffed.
"Bella he wouldn't let me leave until I had taken it I knew you wouldn't use it and I wasn't planning on telling you I had it...but that dress...it was made for you it would be a crime to let anyone else have it," she stated oh so smugly.
"Alice I'm going to go off to cool down, I'll be back in ten you carry on looking." I sighed.
"Ok Bell's....if you're sure. I'll meet you outside in ten and then we can go for something to eat."
I quickly hugged Alice and walked out of the shop letting the chill air wash over my face and through my hair soothing my anger. I made my way down the line of boutiques and salons, hoping to trigger in my mind something that I would need for this weekend.
Nearing the end of the huddle of shops, I saw a drugstore and another little hide away shop so to speak, I sighed as I walked into the shop to be greeted by racks and aisles decorated with an abundance of colorful underwear sets.
I searched through the French antique like racks hoping to find something to wear and praying that Alice didn't find me in here looking for something for this weekend, even though I was angry, I was still excited to see him.
After looking through about a hundred racks. Well a hundred in my mind anyway, I finally found something I knew I could wear, I mean without my whole body burning in embarrassment.
The set was a creamy ivory soft to touch silk; it was cupped in a deep midnight blue lace which hugged the half cup bra and also around the legs of the ivory matching silk boxers. It was prefect for me actually the more I thought about it. I paid the snobby woman behind the counter and hurried out of the store afraid of being seen in such a place.
I walked into the drugstore hoping to pick up a few essentials before heading back to Alice.
I rushed down the aisles throwing things into the basket, shampoo, shower gel, razors....I stopped at the end of the aisle to see something blue catch my eye, I picked up the box of tampons and prayed that my period didn't come this weekend.
I started to do some math in my head some mental calculation to figure out this weekend's fate.
NO! NO! NO! I thought ...it could be! I couldn't be...its been seven weeks since my last period? OH god what if I am! I threw the tampons back on the self and ran out of the aisle.
I could feel the tears running down my cheeks, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't catch my breath.
No this can't be happening no lots of people miss there their periods some don't even get them for a couple of months at a time.
I felt my body slip down the backs of the shelf behind me as my legs hit against the cold tile floor. I pulled my legs to my body and hid my face in my thighs letting my tears soak my jeans.
I realized I needed to pull myself together I might be wrong, I may not be...., but I was going to find out.
I lifted my body off the floor and pushed myself through the rows of shelves looking for it, I came to the last row near the counter and there they were. I started to get confused, there were so many kinds ones with plus signs ones with minus signs, I had no clue what it all meant, after a few minutes of debating I decided to opt for the one that told you pregnant or not pregnant, I think I would need it right now because confusing signs wouldn't be the best thing right now.
I grabbed the box and made my way up to the counter, and was greeted by an old lady behind the counter giving me a sympathetic smile as she checked through the pregnancy test.
"That would be twenty dollars fifty cent sweetie." she smiled at me, great people were already feeling sorry for me and I didn't even know if I was a stupid knocked up teen yet.
I handed her the money and just smiled back as she handed me my change.
"Don't worry cupcake everything will be fine...I just know it."
"Ummm thanks." I mumbled.
I made my way up the board walk to be greeted by a crazed Alice.
"Bella! Where the fuck have you been I have been waiting twenty minutes outside that shop!" she yelled.
"Alice ...I'm sorry...I guess I lost track of time," I stuttered.
"Bella what's wrong? Are you ok? You look a mess what happened in the past half of an hour that changed everything?" she asked concerned.
"Nothing I just need to go home...I'm not that hungry anymore."
"Okay then. But please promise me that you will tell me eventually what's wrong. Promise me that bell's!"
"I promise Aly I promise I will as soon as I figure out what's happening myself, but please I need to go now!"
"Fine let's get you home then." she sighed as she wrapped her arm around my wais t and guided me to the car.
**********************************************
We had been sitting silently in my driveway for the past five minutes now; Alice had held my hand the whole ride home. She didn't know what was wrong but as always I knew she sensed something strange about me even if she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong yet I knew she would soon.
I sighed; I knew I had to go into the house to find out .I felt my knee starting to shake uncontrollably beneath me. Clearing my throat I pushed at the car door forcing it open.
"Alice today's been great thanks for coming with me and helping me and my fashion confused self." I chuckled and forced a smile.
"Your fine anytime you need me I will be there don't worry about that...I always will be go and get some rest, my brother's picking you up tomorrow at 9am so remember to be fresh faced," she giggled as she pulled me into a tight hug, I realized that something also was off with her laugh, I prayed that she didn't catch on with what was wrong with me.
"Thanks Aly, I'll call you tomorrow." I said as I gathered my bags and got out of the car.
"Bella wait take this with you...its something for dinner tomorrow." She smiled.
I reluctantly took the bag, I didn't have the energy to fight with her anymore over that dress, I mumbled thanks and headed towards the door.
I dropped my bags once I was inside scanning the living room to see that Charlie had already left, rustling through the bags I found the test. Clutching the test I made my way up the stairs knowing I had to do this now before my body slumped to the floor over worry.
I waited curled up on the floor praying that my worst fear didn't come to life, that I would hopefully make a lucky break. I watched the test and waited, I watched the blank screen waiting for the answer I was dreading to fizzle up on the screen and there it was….
Pregnant and screwed.
