A/N: Sorry that this chapter took a while to update. But I finally got to it! I still have to work on my other stories. This chapter, so I don't confuse anyone, will start in the past. Well I'll stop "talking" and let you get on with the story.
Bella POV
My head was pounding when I woke up. I felt around the bed I was in and my hand fell on a head. Thoughts went through my head, afraid that I had slept with some stranger. I looked around the room I was in. Now I really started to freak out. I was in Edward's bedroom, naked- I looked under the covers- definitely naked, and had slept with some guy I don't even know. Or maybe I do know them. I slowly turned my head to see who else was in the bed. I jumped out and grabbed my clothes. This had to be a nightmare. I just had sex with my best friend. Hopefully he doesn't remember anything from last night. I got dressed and drove home. I climbed in my bed and pondered over what I got myself into until I fell asleep.
Edward POV
I expected to wake up next to Bella. I expected to see her smiling at me when I woke up and give me a kiss. But I woke up to an empty bed. Bella's clothes were gone and they decided to take her with them. I sat in the bed for who knows how long. Bella had just told me she loved me last night and then she leaves me this morning. I had the best night of my life and my morning started out in the worst way possible.
Bella POV
I woke up, again. But this time I knew what room I was in. And who I was with. Of course it was no one but it was nice to know that I wasn't with my best friend, naked, and having just slept with him because he probably felt pity. Pity because I threw myself at him, admitting that I love him and he doesn't love me back. I told him I loved him. Great. I just ruined my friendship in three little words.

6 weeks later. . .
Bella POV
I threw up for the fourth time today. Alice and Rosalie had followed me into the bathroom and were currently holding my hair back- again. I didn't know what had come over me. I was constantly sick and I think I had gained a few pounds as well.
"Are you sure you're alright?" I shook Rosalie's question off.
"I'm fine." I gagged and they gave me a look. One that says, "Sure you are."
"I am! Look, I think there's some bug going around and I just happened to catch it."
"Or you're pregnant." I whirled around to face Alice. Her face showed me she was surprised that I hadn't already thought of it.
"What do you mean Alice?"
"I mean I think you're pregnant. Think about it. You're always throwing up and you've gained a few pounds. You don't even fit your clothes now." She started waving her arm up and down and I took noticed of what I was wearing. My stomach was still small but there was a very small bulge there. Then I remembered having a hard time zipping up my pants this morning. Then the worst. My period was late. I looked up at my friends, shell shocked.
"Come on. We're going to the store." Alice and Rosalie grabbed my arms and started hauling me out of the bathroom.
"But-" I was cut off by Rosalie's hand to my mouth. I tried licking her hand, but I guess she was used to that.
"That's not going to work Bella. I know all your tricks." She removed her hand and I stuck out my tongue. About a hour and a half later, we were back at the Cullen house standing in Alice's bedroom pacing around. The timer suddenly went off and we all rushed to the desk. I closed my eyes as Alice and Rosalie looked at the test. I heard Alice gasp and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be relieved gasped or a bad gasp. I would just have to find out for myself. I looked down to see the worst thing I will probably ever see in my life. There, on the desk, the test revealed that stupid pink positive sign. I picked it up and walked to the bed. I fell down and started crying. Alice and Rosalie rubbed my back, trying to console me, but I knew nothing could soothe me right now.
"Do you know who the father is?"
"Yes."
"Are you going to tell us? We won't judge you." I picked my head up and looked at them. I shook my head.
"No, I'm just not ready to say who it is."
"It's okay sweetie. What are you going to do? I mean with the baby?"
"I don't know. All I know is I'm not going to abort it. I would never do that."
"We understand. We'll support you either way you go. Whether you keep it or put it up for adoption."
"Thanks guys." I gave them a warm smile and they wrapped me into a hug.
"I think I need to go home."
"Can't you stay for dinner?"
"I don't know. . ."
"Please? We'll keep your secret." They started fake begging and I eventually gave in.
"Fine! I'll stay. But only for dinner." Alice started squealing and Rosalie gave me a hug. As promised, I stayed for dinner. But I didn't eat much and I barely made eye contact, especially with Edward. He stared at me throughout it all, which only made me more uncomfortable. I felt like they could see through me and it didn't help that we had a doctor at the table. As soon as dinner was over, I offered to help with the dishes, but Esme refused. I sat there for a while, talked, making sure no contact was made with Edward and quietly left. They all gave me hugs but when it came to Edward, I shyly left.
I pushed my truck to go as fast as possible, which was about 55 mph, and as soon as I got home, I ran inside. Thankfully Charlie wasn't home yet. I grabbed enough money to pay for a ticket to Phoneix. I got my bag ready to go and then I made dinner for Charlie. When he came home, he ate quietly, left to watch a game and fell asleep. I creeped upstairs and wrote the notes I would need. I placed one of the notes on the table and grabbed the money and got in my truck. I drove to the Cullen's and thankfully everyone was already asleep. I placed each of the letters in the mailbox and drove to the airport. I got my ticket and waited the hour or so it would take for the plane to arrive.
A/N: Okay, so the whole chapter was in the past. But basically, for my sake, it was Bella telling the story with the occasional Edward POV. Next we start with a surprise person! (In the past!) And you might just be able to see the notes she wrote. Well, that is if anybody's interested. Sorry it took so long!
