Just because, I'm super dooper nice (and because I hadn't updated in ages. sozza!) I'm giving you another chapter. I'm a bit sad because the last chapter only got 2 reviews, so I'm hoping for a few more please...forgive me?
RPOV:
I got home and Emmett was waiting on the couch for me. He pulled me in and gave me a passionate kiss. I had too much on my mind to even care that he was here, let alone he was kissing me in the way that usually leads to something else, but I wasn't into it at all. I was just worrying about Bella the whole time. I didn't think it was that noticeable, but Emmett picked it up, and he didn't usually pick up on those kinds of things. He leaned back to look at me properly.
"What's the matter Rosie? This isn't like you. Usually your all over me."
"I'm sorry, I've just got a lot on my mind."
"What is it? I'm sure I can help."
"You can't, I promised Bella I wouldn't tell anyone."
"Is she pregnant? If so, you can tell me, because we've both been through it before."
I was shocked. "How did you know?"
"Is she? Does Jasper know?"
"No, but she doesn't want him to know. She doesn't want him worrying over her, because she's not keeping it. But don't worry. I'm helping her through it."
"That's okay. At least she has you, because you've been through it all."
I hadn't been through all of it, which was what I was worrying about.
JPOV:
It had been almost a week since I'd seen Bella. Whatever was keeping her away from me, wasn't keeping Rosalie away.
I drove out to see that Bella's car was gone. At least she'd be at school today.
The whole ride out, I was wondering why she was away. It must have been bad, because she wouldn't come out of her room at all. She wouldn't talk to anyone, not even Charlie. The only person who she'd talk to was Rosalie.
I pulled up in the car park, only to see that her car wasn't there. I've never known Bella to skip school ever in her life, and I wouldn't think that she'd start at Lewiston.
I got to Civil History, only to find that Bella wasn't there, and neither was Rosalie. Emmett seemed to know why, but I was never going to get it out of him.
When were all the secrets going to stop?
BPOV:
It was Thursday. My stomach was fluttering with nerves, and Rosalie had just arrived for me to drive to the clinic.
"Are you ready Bella?" she asked. I nodded my head quickly, swallowing loudly. We went out to the car and drove away silently.
Rosalie and I sat down and I fidgeted nervously with the hem of my jumper. A nurse appeared at the hallway entrance.
"Isabella Swan?" That was me. I rose from my seat, my hands shaking. Rosalie stood up with me.
"It's alright, Bella. I'll come with you. It'll be okay."
I had never really trusted anyone when they said it was okay. But for some reason, I trusted Rosalie.
I walked down the hallway, shaking from my nerves.
* * * * *
I was still groggy from the medication when we left. I was just glad that it was over and I could put it all behind me and go back to Jasper.
"You look like hell, Bella," Rosalie stated.
"It's all over now," I replied tonelessly.
She was right. I looked as if I'd been in hospital for a year.
She pulled back up at my house and we got out. As soon as we were inside, Jasper's truck drove up their driveway and into the garage.
"Are you going to be okay?" Rosalie asked.
"I think I'll be alright. I just want to sleep."
"I felt like that too, it passes. Just get a good sleep. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye Rose." She hugged me and left, leaving me to my miseries.
JPOV:
Bella's car was gone again in the morning. Rosalie's was too, but I knew that she'd be returning to school. The question was if Bella would.
I was the last one to come to class. Bella was in her usual seat, but something about her stopped me in my tracks.
Her hair was lank, like she hadn't washed it in a week. Her skin was paler and translucent-looking. She looked thinner, her wrists and fingers dangerously thin. But it was worse when she looked towards me.
Her eyes looked sunken into their sockets, the skin over her cheekbones stretching out, making her face look sallow. Her eyes weren't their usual chocolate brown, they were darker, almost black. They were bloodshot and had dark rings around them.
This wasn't the Bella I knew.
I still took my seat next to her. She shifted the smallest bit, whether it was automatic or not. I tried talking to her.
"Hey Bella."
"Hey."
"Where have you been this last week?"
"I was sick." I didn't have the answers I wanted.
"You mustn't have been that sick, because Rosalie was at your place every morning or afternoon." Bella didn't reply. I just looked over her shoulder to see Rosalie glaring at me, her lips almost pulled back over her teeth. She would have been growling if she could have.
I changed the subject. "Let's all have a sleepover party tomorrow night, at my house."
Alice broke the silence, leaning around Edward to join our conversation. "Sounds good. I'm up for a bit of fun. What about you guys?" I knew that she only really meant Bella. Edward and Emmett trailed after Rosalie and Alice all the time, and I was already there. We all looked at her.
"Sure. I'm up for it."
"Sounds like a plan," I declared.
This would be the sleepover that would make or break us.
This chapter is really short, but it's just a bit of a filler, and sorry that it keeps switching POVs
Reviews anyone? I'll update a lot quicker if I get some...
