A/N: A remake of my very first story that got... no reviews! But I'm better at writing now so fingers crossed :) One of the first songs on this story's playlist is Satellite Heart by Anya Marina.
I wanted to release it now because I read We Forgive You the other night and just thought 'Fuck it.' I know, I know I'm writing Unexpected and If We Ever Meet Again and Whatever You Like, but I can manage.
Summary: The Cullens leave, and Bella finds out she's pregnant. Will she turn to Jacob, or run-away and risk her life and the baby's life?
Prequel to 'We Forgive You'. What do you think?
Prologue
I woke up pretty much the same was I usually do - early and groggily. I ran a brush through my haystack of hair, and briefly glanced at the calender, immediately doing a double take. September Thirteenth. I groaned loudly and fell backwards onto the bed. Not today, I was in too good a mood already!
I'd never been a big fan of birthdays, especially my own. I just put on a happy face when someone said 'Happy Birthday' to me.
I turned when I heard my door creak open, it was Charlie holding a box. Great.
"Happy Birthday." He said, smiling. I rolled my eyes. Today was going to be a long day...
Chapter One - Feel This
I climbed into Edward's Volvo, meeting his godly golden eyes. I felt myself blush and smile.
"Morning, Love." He said, kissing me. "Happy Birthday." He slyly added in, with a smirk on his face.
"Ugh." I fell back into the seat, he chuckled. "There had better be no presents involved." I groaned.
"I'm sure you'll like what I have planned." He smiled. "Trust me."
We arrived at school, Alice and Jasper were stood by the red BMW. I got out and was ambushed by Alice immediately, her small arms wrapping around me.
"Happy Birthday!" She squealed.
"Not so loud." I whispered through my teeth, I heard Jasper chuckle.
"Sorry." She smiled, handing me a small box. "And I know you said absolutely no presents, but they'd suit you." I sighed and opened the small box to find a pair of diamond earrings.
"Alice--"
"No need to thank me." She said, before she and Jasper headed for the main entrance.
"Does she not know I don't have my ears pierced?" I asked Edward, he laughed.
We followed Alice into the school, and into our first class; English. I took my usual seat next to Edward at the back. As Mr Banner droned on about studying for our finals, I began thinking about what Edward had planned for us tonight.
"So, what's the big surprise?" I whispered to him.
"If I tell you, it won't be a surprise, defeating the whole concept." I rolled my eyes.
"Damn." I muttered under my breath; I saw Edward chuckle.
The rest of the day pretty much past in the blink of an eye, which was a good thing for me. Edward dropped me off at home; luckily Charlie wasn't home so Edward and I had time alone. He followed me up to my room, allowing me to drop my bag off and we went back downstairs to the living room.
"So, what are you planning?" I asked again.
He faked zipping up his mouth. I playfully smacked his shoulder, there was definately going to be a bruise there later. He sat on the couch, smiling at me,
"Please!" I begged.
He chuckled and then sighed, "You want to know?" He asked. I nodded quickly.
"Yes, damn it, yes!" I grinned.
He lifted my chin with his hand and kissed me passionately. He stood up an kissed me more. We parted and ran upstairs to my room - we had a few hours before Charlie got home, and obviously Edward's surprise couldn't wait...
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
I laid with my head on his bare chest, still overwhelmed from before. His hand began stroking my ruffled hair, I chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" He asked.
"Mm... nothing." I said, giggling again.
"Tell me." He asked.
"I was just thinking maybe Alice saw this coming, I know we didn't plan it, but you planned it for earlier." I said, he started laughing.
"She'll hate us for scaring her like that, not that it's anything she hasn't seen before."
"But it's her brother and best friend, not her and Jasper." I chuckled.
I adjusted my postion, moaning uncomfortably after. "What's wrong love?" Edward asked, concerned.
I lifted the duvet and gasped as I saw the bruises on my hips. I put the duvet down and caught sight of my bruised arms. I was speechless as I observed the dark marks all up my arm. Edward saw them,
"Oh my God." He whispered, "What have I done?"
"It's not your fault--"
"Of course it is Bella, you couldn't of caused those bruises."
"I bruise easily." I said, he gave me a look, "Sorry, that didn't help. Look, if this helps, it doesn't hurt, watch," I pressed my finger on one of the bruises, but I automatically winced as I felt the pain. He sighed, but he bolted up immediately. "What?" I asked.
"Charlie, he's--" I heard the front door slam.
"Bella?" I heard him call.
"Oh crap." I muttered.
I sat up and reached for my top and jeans rapidly, slipping them on quickly, and then passing Edward his clothes. "Hurry." Edward whispered as I heard Charlie's footsteps coming up the stairs. I began panicking.
Edward had only just got his jeans on when I saw the handle move. The door began opening, and Edward dived behind the bed, just as Charlie came in.
"Oh, you're here." He said, he spied the messy bed. "What happened here?"
"I fell asleep." I told him, crossing my fingers in the hope he'd believe me.
"Okay." He shrugged, "You know it's nearly seven." He reminded me. Shoot, the party!
"Uh... thanks Dad." I said, just as he left.
Edward sat up, appearing at my side. "That was a close-call." He whispered to me, kissing my ear.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
We arrived at Edward's house just past seven, we entered the house and went upstairs only to be greeted by a very disgusted looking Alice. I bit my lip,
"Next time you choose to do it, warn me in advance please!" She whispered angrily.
"Sorry, Alice." I said, biting my lip.
We followed her to the table where there was a mountain of presents. Do they not understand the words 'Absolutely no presents'? Alice handed me a small box.
"More earrings?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"No - but I see your not wearing them." She pouted.
"Saving them for a special occasion." I muttered. I began opening the present, and felt my finger slice on the edge of the paper. "Ouch!" I exclaimed, "Stupid wrapping pa--"
"No." Edward whispered, I looked up and saw Jasper breathing deeply... his eyes locked on me...
You know what happens next, papercut and Jasper crazy mode and such... so, review? x
