Chapter 6
BPOV
"Mom!" She fainted. Usually I was the drama queen. I over-reacted to everything. Phil just sat there staring at Edward & I. She was out cold.
"Mom! Wake-up!" Then I splashed some cold water on her face. Her eyes shot open. Phil came out of his trance and helped my mother upstairs to the bedroom. She was stammering all the way, confused at what had just happened. He came down and got her some ice to put on her head. We all retreated to our rooms and sat in silence.
"Bella?" Renee tapped silently on my door. I wiped my eyes of the tears.
"Yes, Mom?" I sniffled.
"Edward, I want to speak with Bella alone, please." I went numb. He traced my neckline, kissed my cheek and nodded at my mother. He left the bed leaving a cold blast of icy air behind him.
"Bella," She said in a firm voice. I could tell she was going to pound it in to me.
"Bella I-," I interrupted. "Mom, look I know what your going to say, your going to say I'm too young, I'm not ready, I'm not this, I'm not that. You've been pounding this into me since I was 6. I think I'll be a grown up, and I'll be the decider. I'm going to have a baby and there's nothing we can do about it!" I was a little frustrated and I needed to say that. She was always on my case, but just because things didn't work out between her and Charlie doesn't mean I'm going to end up like her.
"Oh Bella I beg to differ. Since you've already skipped my speech, I suppose I'll just cut to the chase." She was smug. A little angry along with some other emotions that played across her face."
"Save it Mom. I don't want to hear it. Can't you just be happy for me?" This was stressing me out. I truly didn't want to hear any of the options she had for me.
"Bella I'm giving you two options, one, you give it up for adoption or two…..abortion."
I was blown away by what I just heard. My blood boiled under my skin. I was going to erupt and I couldn't stop myself.
"WHAT! I can't believe you just said that! Are you crazy? What about option three where I keep my child! I'm 19 years old I can take care of myself! I don't need anyone I never did, I raised you didn't I? I think I have enough experience! I've stood behind you in every decision! The one choice I make on my own and you decide to be a parent!? No, Mom, it doesn't work like that." I got up off the bed and stormed out of my room, flying down the stairs, where I tripped over myself and Edward caught me. My mother was right behind me I kept on walking until I was in the living room. I pivoted on my foot to face Renee. She had a furious look in her eye.
"Is that what you think? That you raised me? I've been around the block a few times and I know what's going to happen. Everything will be fine and then a couple years later, you'll start fighting, it'll become every night, then you'll walk out on him, and history will repeat itself."
"Mom, just because you screwed up everything in your life doesn't mean I'll screw up mine." Then what happened next was totally unexpected. She slapped me right across my face! We went on like this, for hours. Fighting back and forth. I saw Edward and Phil talking every so often out of the corner of my eye.

I wanted to help, though I knew I couldn't. This was a battle I couldn't fight for her, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't take this anymore I had to say something. Just as I was about to step into the line of fire I felt Phil grab the collar of my shirt.
"Edward, I know that you want to help and all, but really, I think you should let the girls solve this one out."
"Phil, this has been going on for 3 hours, I don't think they'll ever agree on this."
I turned away and proceeded toward the line of fire again. Bella turned to me, her eyes puffy and red.
"Edward, I want to leave, obviously were getting nowhere and I'm going to be the bigger person, and walk away."
"Finally." I murmured to myself.
She grabbed her bags and we left without a word of goodbye.
BPOV
The ride to the airport was long and tiring. I wanted to sleep but I had too much on my mind. Abortion? Had my mother completely lost her sanity? I was strongly against it. It wasn't an option. Adoption was just out of the question, I was keeping my baby, no matter what.
A.N Yes, I am ANTI-abortion. Have a problem I don't care. Don't try to school me in your view because in my eyes, it's murdering. So congrats. Anywho, I'm posting the winning name on LOVE DAY!! (: so get your votes in now!!!
