Model This

Chapter 14: Explained

Since I'm such a liar about when I update, here's another chapter! I hope that this clears some things up. I already anticipated most of you guys' questions so I already had this chapter made to answer them. Read on!

"Ali, I just don't get it. Why hasn't he been writing to me? I've sent him too many letters to count."

She sighed and her hand went to her hair. Just like her brother.

"I don't know, Bella. I haven't gotten a letter from him in a couple weeks. I really don't know what to say."

I looked out the window and watched the rain hit the panes. I bit my lip while trying not to cry. I helped him, dammit! And this is how he repays me? By totally ignoring my existence? I suddenly got up and threw the remote against the wall.

"Bella! You need to calm down! Breaking stuff is not going to help the situation," Alice said while slowly trying to pry my phone from my hand.

I took a deep breath and slowly sat back down.

"Good girl. Now, how about we get some ice-cream while we wait for Rose?"

I nodded and stared at the wall. It just hurt so much that Edward didn't care about me enough to even mention me in any letters. After a few minutes Alice came back with three bowls of ice-cream right as Rose was walking into the condo.

"Hey, Rose," I said.

She nodded and sat down next to me. I smiled and felt her belly while she tried to get comfortable.

"I love this baby, guys. I really do. But, he's going to break my spine one of these days."

My eyebrow automatically shot up and Alice had a look of shock.

"He, eh? I thought you and Emmett weren't going to find out the sex yet," Alice piqued.

Rosalie blushed and looked back down at her swollen belly.

"We haven't found out. I just get this gut feeling that it's a boy."

I giggled while Alice scowled at me.

"You owe me one hundred big ones, Ali!" I screeched while laughing.

"She hasn't had the baby yet! We don't know if it's a boy or a girl," Alice retorted.

Rose was glaring at the both of us.

"You made a bet on my baby?"

Now Alice was the one who was trying to not laugh.

"Emmett's in on it!" Alice said before Rose could get too mad…at us.

"He what?!"

"Whoa, Alice! Rose! We can talk about the stupid stuff that Emmett has done later. Right now we need to talk about modeling."

They immediately sobered up and looked at me. I wriggled around while under their scrutiny. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything…

"Why do you want to quit modeling, Bella?" Rose asked.

I shrugged and was already biting my lip again.

"It just doesn't bring me as much joy as it used to, Rose. I'm tired of being in the spotlight. Anytime I do something wrong the whole world freaking knows! You have loyal fans until they find out that you're not perfect."

Alice nodded slowly while chewing on the end of a pen.

"It is a tough job, Bella. You also agreed to stay with it until your contract runs out. What are you going to do about that?"

I fiddled with a hem on the bottom of my shirt. It was something that I'd thought about. I only have three more months left on my contract. If I wanted to back out early, I'd have to pay a pretty penny for compensation.

"I've been thinking about that, Ali. I'm going to talk to my lawyer and see what he says about this whole situation."

Rosalie nodded and actually looked a little bit grateful. I looked at her with question.

"Oh, Bella. I was thinking that I would talk to you about this in a better situation…but I was going to tell you that I'd have to quit being your manager. Emmett makes enough to take care of our family. I'm going to be a mommy full time."

I stared at her for a second while a smile slowly crept on my face. I hugged her as best as you could hug a seven month pregnant woman.

"I'm really happy for you, Rose. I'm glad you're going to be with your baby so much. I just hope that you know that I expect to see a lot of him."

She smiled and Alice interjected,

"Don't forget about me! I expect to see a lot of her, too."

Rose just smiled while we had a group hug.

I looked at Emmett who was sitting across from me. He looked madder than a banshee.

"Why haven't you been writing to Bella, Edward?"

Well, that was not what I expected him to say.

"What are you talking about, Emmett? I've sent her so many letters. She's the one who hasn't been writing to me."

He opened his mouth to retort but closed it just as quickly. Then, he looked confused.

"That's not what she said. Bella told me that she's written you many letters but you haven't written her back…"

My mouth was agape.

"She's been writing me? I swear that I haven't gotten any of her letters, Emmett. If I had I would write back as soon I got it."

His eyebrows furrowed together while he thought about it.

"I'm going to talk to your supervisor about this. Well, I guess I'll just have to catch you up on what's going on. She's going to quit modeling. She said it's just not how it used to be. She also met someone named Jacob Black. It's in the tabloids that they're dating, but I don't know…"

Emmett kept talking but I tuned him out after he said Jacob Black. Well son of a bitch.
