"Don't worry Bells. I've already told Jasper that I need to be there for you. So we've decided that we will keep in touch through Skype, email and phone calls," she smiled.

A big fat tear escaped from eyes. I have the greatest friend a girl could ask for. I looked around the room and felt safe and loved for the first time since all this started. I pulled Esme and Carlisle into a bear hug, before asking.

"When do we leave?"

Chapter 10

APOV

The last few weeks had been very difficult, as I don't like keeping secrets from my best friend but I did understood the reason why my parents needed to do it. They told me that they wanted to find out more about the school and make sure it was suitable for Bella and I.

Flashback

It was a rainy day in Forks and I had been sent home from school after fainting in Biology at the sight of blood. The school nurse thought it was best if I went home and relaxed, but I didn't want to leave Bella. It was only a week since the town found out that she was pregnant and people were still giving her a hard time, especially the troublesome twosome Jessica and Lauren. When I left the nurses office I went to look for Angela and it didn't take me long to find her. I told her that the nurse had sent me home and asked if she would keep an eye on Bella and make sure that no one bothered her. Satisfied that she was alright, I drove home. When I pulled up in front of my house, I was surprised to see my parent's cars in the driveway because they were never home at this time.

I walked in and found them in the living room talking quietly. They stopped the second they saw me and my mother jumped up and walked towards me.

"Alice, come in and sit down. We need to talk to you," she said as she took my hand and led me over to where they were sitting. I sat down opposite my parents on the couch.

"What's up?" I asked.

My dad looked at my mother and my mother looked at me.

"Well honey, we couldn't help but notice how miserable Bella was. We think that the best thing to do is give her a fresh start some place that she won't be looked down on and judged for what happened," she answered.

I couldn't help but stare at them in disbelief. How could they even think about sending her away! She is my best friend and I had promised to stick by her through all this and it is a promise that I was going to keep.

"MOM, DAD, HOW CAN YOU DO THIS? HOW CAN YOU SEND HER AWAY LIKE THIS AND TO SOMEWHERE THAT SHE DOES'NT KNOW," I yelled.

My parents were shocked to hear me yelling. I rarely yelled, so when I did they knew to take notice and not to mess with me.

"Alice, I need you to calm down and let me explain", my mum begged.

"MOM, WHAT IS THERE TO EXPLAIN. YOU ARE SENDING MY BEST FRIEND AWAY AND I'M TELLING YOU NOW THAT I'M NOT GOING TO STAND FOR IT. IF SHE GOES THEN I GO TOO," I continued to yell.

My mother started opening and closing her mouth like a goldfish. My father banged his fist on the table.

"ENOUGH" he shouted.

I looked over at my dad as he continued.

"Alice Cullen, you will never, EVER talk to your mom or me that way again. You are going to sit here quietly and listen to what we have to say. Is that clear?"

I nodded. "Yes daddy," I whimpered.

"As your mother was saying before we were rudely interrupted. We don't think that it is good for Bella to stay around here and things will only get worse when the baby is born. So we have looked into High Schools that help pregnant teens and there is one called City of Angels in LA. Your cousin Irina goes there and Kate just graduated from it last year. They have an excellent teen mother program and we sorted it out with Eleazar and Carmen for her to stay with them. They will help her with the baby and I will be setting her up with an account and a credit card for anything that she will need." He stated.

I remembered my Aunt Carmen and Uncle Eleazar, and knew that Bella would be in great hands, but my two cousins were a different story all together. Irina, who was the same age as me, was a spoilt brat. She was extremely vain and looked down on everyone and anyone. I knew she would hate Bella just because she was pregnant and would not want Bella taking the spotlight away from her. Kate was the same. She was 19 years old and a sophomore at UCLA. She was totally boy crazy and went after any guy that caught her eye, even if it meant stealing him from another woman. It was those facts alone that sealed it for me.

"Fine Dad, but I stand by what I said. If she goes, I go with her. I'm not going to let you feed her to the sharks alone," I demanded.

Dad looked at mom and then back at me.

"We'll see what we can do, but first I want to ask you a question. What are you doing home from school?

End Flashback

They both had a long talk to my Aunt and Uncle and decided that it would be best for Bella if I went with her. It was now February and we were leaving for LA in two weeks, just in time for the new semester. My parents had already set up an account and credit card for whatever Bella and I needed.

Bella's due date was the 1st of August, so we would be starting our junior year about six weeks after her due date. She would be turning seventeen about five weeks after the baby was born. My parents had made lots of plans and had decided to hire a nanny, so that Bella could continue school. They had also concluded that it would be best if Bella didn't come back to Forks until she was at least eighteen, as they believed that if Bella came back before then her parents could take the baby away and have it adopted because she was a minor and they were her legal guardians.

With a sigh I got up and went into Bella's room; only to find her crying whilst sorting through her clothes. I walked over to her and put my arms around her, giving her a tight hug.

"What's wrong Bells?" I cooed.

I continued to hug her while she cried.

"I-I was g-go-going through m-my cl-clothes and nothing f-fits anymore," she sobbed.

I smiled to myself, knowing what we had to do to rectify this.

"Well then, we have to go shopping and buy you some maternity clothes."

She was about to protest, but I put my hand up to stop her.

"Bella you need new clothes, especially for LA. It's a new start, new look, new city, new life." I smiled.

Bella looked like she was deep in thought, so I went in for the kill.

"Please Bella," I begged. She smiled as I continued to beg. I knew that she could never say no to me, so I took advantage of it.

"Ok then," she said.

She started to laugh while I jumped up and down. I was about to tell her to go and get ready when my cell phone rang. I quickly answered it without checking the caller ID.

"Hello" I spoke into the phone.

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before they spoke.

"Er - Hello Alice, this is erm Edward. Is Bella there with you?" he asked.

BPOV

Typical Alice, always finding a reason to shop, I thought as I continued to look through my clothes. Behind me I heard Alice's ring tone, Fashion by Lady Gaga.

I am, I'm too fabulous
I'm so, fierce that it's so nuts
I live, to be model thin
Dress me, I'm your mannequin

J'adore vivienne habillez-moi
Gucci, Fendi et Prada.
Valentino, Armani too.
Merde I love them Jimmy Choo

She answered the phone and after saying hello she paused for several beats before yelling into the phone.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT? HAVEN'T YOU CAUSED ENOUGH FUCKING TROUBLE? HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER ANYWAY?"

She was clearly pissed and I wouldn't want to be the person on the other end of the phone.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO AND THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY THAT YOU ARE TALKING TO HER. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE?" she continued to yell.

I went over to where she was sitting on her bed and put my hand on her arm to try and calm her down. She looked at me with wide eyes and then put her hand over the mouth piece.

"It's Edward. He wants to talk to you," she says gently.

I felt tears prick my eyes and I started to shake uncontrollably. I was now 11 weeks pregnant and it was two weeks since Esme and Carlisle had told me that they were sending Alice and I to LA. Edward told me that I had until my 12th week to get rid of our baby and it looked like I was out of time.

"I-I can't ta-talk to h-him Alice," I hiccupped, as tears freely started falling and I couldn't help the overwhelming fear from washing over me. She nodded and went back to the phone.

"DID YOU HEAR THAT YOU MOTHER FUCKER? DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A MAN?" she continued to yell her voice dripping with venom.

I couldn't listen to anymore so I put my hand out for the phone. She hesitated before handing it over to me.

"He-Hello?" I said in a shaking voice.

"Hello Isabella," he said in a smooth and controlled voice. When he said my full name, I knew that he meant business.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush Isabella; did you make the appointment with the clinic to get rid of that thing yet?"

I was stunned into silence. What was he trying to do to me? I really and truly didn't need this shit, and I'd had enough of his crap to last me ten life times. He'd already told me his feelings, my parents had disowned me and the whole town was talking about me but this was the final straw and I finally snapped.

"NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME EDWARD MOTHERFUCKER MASEN AND YOU LISTEN TO ME GOOD. I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT ALL THAT I CAN TAKE FROM YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE IN THIS GOD FORSAKING TOWN. I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. YOU HAVEN'T BEEN EXACTLY SHY IN TELLING ME BUT LET ME GET THIS ONE THING STRAIGHT. THIS IS MY BODY AND MY BABY AND NOBODY IS GOING TO TELL ME WHAT TO FUCKING DO. YOU GOT THAT FUCKER," I yelled so loud that Esme came running into the room to make sure that I was alright. There was silence on the other end of the phone

"Fine Bella, if you want to fight dirty then so will I. I will be on the next available flight to Forks and I will personally take you to the clinic myself," he hissed and hung up the phone.

I threw the phone at the wall, and it wasn't until it smashed into a dozen little pieces that I remembered that it was Alice's phone.

"I-I'm so-sorry abo-about your ph-phone Alice," I cried as I laid down on my bed crying and shaking. I have no idea that Esme was sitting next to me on my bed until she spoke.

"Bella listen to me. Everything is going to be fine. Just tell us what happened," she asked with emotion.

I turned around to face Esme and Alice and told them that Edward was planning on coming here and taking me to the clinic to have the abortion.

Esme's face went from worried, to sympathetic, to angry. Alice put her arms around me and held me close while we both cried. Esme got up and stormed out of the room.

"Bella, I'm going to check on my mother. Why don't you wait here," she asked as she got up to leave.

I shook my head and got up with her.

"I'll come with you," I told her.

She nodded and gave me a small smile.

"Okay then. Come on."

We went down into the living room to find Esme on both the phone and her laptop.

"Okay how long will you be?" She asked into the phone.

She paused before speaking again. "Half an hour. Okay Carlisle I'll see you soon then," she mumbled and hung up the phone before she quickly dialed another number.

She started checking something on her laptop as she waited for the person on the other end to answer the phone.

"Hello Eleazar, it's me. There has been a change of plan. The girls will be on the next available flight." She paused and then continued.

"Yeah I know that you're not prepared but we need to bring our plans forward a couple of weeks, as a few problems have come up and so the girls need to come to you now."

"Mom, are you alright?" Alice interrupted

Esme nodded.

"I'm fine but I want the two of you to go back to your rooms and start packing whatever you can. Anything you don't pack, I will send on to you," she said calmly.

Alice and I looked at each other before turning to go to our rooms. I didn't know what to pack because nearly everything I owned was either too tight or too small. I took everything out of my closet and threw them on the bed wondering what I was going to do. After about half an hour of going through my clothes and trying to figure out what to take with me, Alice came storming into my room.

"Why don't you pack up your stuff from the bathroom and I will pack your clothes," she sighed.

I nodded and went into the bathroom.

"Alice, Bella, where are you?" Esme called.

I went back into the bedroom as Alice called to her mom.

"We're in Bella's room"

Esme came into the room.

"Right, you're both on the 11.30pm flight from Seattle to Los Angeles tonight. It is a non - stop flight and you should arrive at LAX at about 2am," she whispered.

I could hear the sadness in her voice and I wanted nothing more than to tell her that we would be alright and that we loved her.

Acting on impulse I threw my arms around her telling her just how much I loved her and that she was more of a mother to me then my own was. I pulled back with tears falling freely from her eyes.

"It will take three hours to get you guys to the airport and we need enough time for the both of you to check in, so we will be leaving in about half an hour," she smiled weakly.

"Mom, what about Edward? He is coming here and when he finds out that Bella is gone ..." she said not wanting to finish the sentence.

Esme looked at me and then at Alice.

"You leave Edward Masen to me and your father," she smiled through her tears.

Alice shook her head in despair.

"But mom, we are going to LA. That is where Edward lives. What are we going to do?" she squealed.

Esme gave a little snicker.

"Alice honey, are you forgetting that you told Jasper that Bella was going to a home for unmarried teens in Seattle?" Alice nodded as Esme continued.

"Well then you need to keep to that story. I'm sure that Jasper will have told Edward and when Edward gets here I will tell him the same thing." Esme smirked, before adding.

"Oh and please hurry up. We are pressed for time, so Alice are you sorted?"

Alice laughed.

"Oh mom, yee of little faith. I have been packing for the last few weeks. The only thing that I really needed to pack was my hair products and make - up," she gloated.

Esme smiled and left the room. Alice went back to packing my clothes and I finished packing my accessories from the bathroom. Forty five minutes later we were on the road to Seattle airport in Carlisle's black Mercedes-Benz. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad about leaving Forks, a place that I had lived all of my life. I knew that what my parents had said and done was unforgivable, but they were my parents and I still loved them. I would also miss Alec, not only did we share a womb but we also shared our love for our family and each other.

But I have my baby to think about and Alice is coming with me to LA. Esme told me that my parents thought that I was going to a home for unmarried teen mothers in Seattle. I hope that my family will never find out where I am. I see the hurt and disappointment in their eyes and I hate that so much. Maybe they were right to disown me. The night of the premiere I had been overcome with emotion and I'd felt like I was living a dream. But if I'd known then what I know now, I would of done a lot of things differently.

We finally got to Seattle airport with an hour and a half to spare. Esme and Carlisle went to check in for us whilst Alice and I went to the shop to pick up a few magazines to read on the flight. The headline from US magazine jumped out at me.

EDWARD MASEN DENIES THAT HE'S THE FATHER OF ISABELLA SWAN'S BABY.

I briefly read through it.

Edward Masen (20) the star of the new vampire movie BITE denies that he is the father of the pregnant teen's baby.

Edward Masen says. I met Isabella Swan at the premiere in Seattle. I posed for photos with her and that was all there was to it. We were never together in a sexual way. Besides I don't go for brunettes, I like blondes, Isabella Swan is simply not my type.

Melanie Adams says: If that is true Edward then why did you both make a scene at the Forks diner?

Edward Masen says: Well let's put it this way. Isabella Swan is not as innocent as she makes out to be. She contacted my manager Ted and told him that she was pregnant with my child and that she needed money to have an abortion. She threatened that if I didn't pay for it then she would tell everyone that I was the father and that I'm trying to make her get rid of the baby. I went to Forks to try and talk to her and to help her but she didn't want my help. She only wanted my money and when I refused to give her any she caused a scene.

Melanie Adams says: What would you say to Isabella now if she was reading this?

Edward Masen says: Isabella, I'm sorry that you are going through so much right now and I don't hold any ill will against you. I hope that you will find your happiness.

I couldn't read anymore. I couldn't believe that he would lie about me like this. Didn't those two nights at the premiere mean anything to him? I totally lost it.

"Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh," I screamed as I ripped the magazine up into little pieces and fell to my knees. I barely felt Alice pulling and trying to get me steady on my feet. She took another US magazine from the rack and looked through it. Her face went purple with anger.

"Bella, I'm freaking out about it as well but we need to catch our flight. Let me pay for these magazines and then we can go," she said softly and went to the counter.

I stood as still as a statue. When she came back we went outside to where Esme and Carlisle were waiting, they took one look at me and knew something very wrong.

"Bella sweetie, what's wrong? Esme asked.

Suddenly my legs went from under me. Carlisle barely caught me before I hit the ground. Alice was mumbling names like bastard, prick, son of the devil, cock sucker. Esme pulled her to one side and asked her what happened. Alice showed her the magazine, before she walked back over to me

"Bella, I know that you are upset but you really need to catch your flight. They are going through customs now," she cooed.

I nodded so she handed me my ticket.

I clutched my ticket and glared at the bold black words that said my name and it hit me again that I was really leaving to start a new life in LA and I couldn't keep the tears from falling. Carlisle pulled me in for a giant hug.

"Be safe Bella" he whispered.

I smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He went to say goodbye to Alice while I said good bye to Esme. She pulled me in for a motherly hug.

"Bella, I know that you are hurting but remember what I said before. It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." She whispered in my ear.

I gave her a small nod telling her that I understood when I really didn't. I would love to kill the person who came up with that saying.

Thirty minutes later Alice and I were settled into our first class seats, as the plane took off. I didn't know what to expect in LA, but I did know it was going to be a fresh start for myself, my baby and my best friend.

A/N

What do you think? They are finally off to LA. What do you think will happen when they get there.? I know that nobody like's Edward at the moment but I promise that there is a reason for his behaviour.
