I fell in love with an unexpected person

Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I don´t, unfortunately, own the twilight saga! Stephenie Meyer owns EVERYTHING!


BETHPOV

I knew from the moment I saw Bella that she was my adorable little girl. She was the same but in a bigger size. I still can´t forgive me for leaving her, and in the way I did! I was way too drunk and drugged to realize what I was saying. I told her I didn´t want her! I loved and love her. She was utterly gorgeous. She has a sexy boyfriend. I have to congratulate her.

I was excited on seeing her again. Lucky me I work in the same hospital as Dr. Cullen. He got the hint and invited me and my dear husband.

``Bella, honey, we are about to get reunited. Finally.´´ was my last thought before we entered the Cullen´s house.


BPOV

I couldn´t believe how much I was talking about my past with Beth. It felt right, like I should trust her. I was aware of the rest of the people staring at me like they just met a new Bella, but at the same time I wasn´t paying attention to their stares. I was being the center of every body´s attention, and I didn´t care!

She asked me when I have been adopted. That´s when I slipped. I should have told her that I didn´t want to talk about it, but I felt so…unaffected by it that I kept on talking. Stupid me!

-At the age of eight. I was left by my mother at the age of seven.

I almost had a heart-attack when Edward started yelling at me. I think everyone almost had one, too.

-You are a big HYPOCRITE!- He yelled. I was totally confused. What the hell was he talking about!

-What are you talking about?

-You lied to me all afternoon about this subject! That´s way you looked so guilty! You got mad because I told you a little lie! Hypocrite! You lied me worse. This is over. I´m over with you! I can´t be with someone that hides her life from me!

I heard gasps and a ``Oh, Edward´´. I whimpered. He couldn´t leave me! He turned around and sprinted upstairs.

Everyone was silent. Alice and Rose came next to me and hugged me. I was too shocked to react to anything. Beth broke the silence.

-Bella can we please talk. I have something really important to tell you. In private.

I stood up and went outside. I was in some kind of robot state. We sat down on some benches outside. Beth grabbed my hand, and in some weird way, it comforted me.

-I am sorry about your break up, honey. I am going to tell you something, though, that will make you happier.

I looked at her, totally confused. Nothing could make me happy! The love of my life just ended our relationship because I didn´t want to talk about my horrible past. Okay, I told him I was adopted when I was a baby and that implies a lie about my first eight years. I told a woman I barely know my some very important details about my life that Edward doesn´t know, that anyone know. He was right I am a sucker as a girlfriend. He doesn´t deserve me.

-Bella, I am your Mom.-Beth said after a while.

I couldn´t handle anything more. She couldn´t make jokes like that! It was completely rude and harmful. I reacted as I never thought I could.

-Look, Beth. That is not a nice joke! I have suffered a lot due to my mother! So, SHUT THE HELL UP!

-Look, missy. You´re not talking to me like that! Don´t be disrespectful, miss!-she said, she got really angry. I felt like a little girl again. She spoke to me again, now more calmly ``Bells, I´m really you Mom. Please believe me! ´´. I just told her to tell me basic things about me. She answered everything correctly, not a single mistake! She really was my mom. I didn´t know how to feel.

She had left me because she didn´t want me! Why was she looking me for? She wanted to tell me she now wanted me?

-And now what, Beth? You don't want me! Why are you here for? To make me suffer? Well, congrats you made it!

I was about to ran away to my room, but she stopped me. She looked at me and started telling me that she wants me, that she loves me, that she showed all those things when we used to sing, dance and play. I answered back, harshly. I told her that that happened when she wasn´t drunk or drugged or both, that if not she would yell and treat me like a wretch. She looked hurt and she slapped me in the face. I felt humiliated and hurt. I didn´t want to see her anymore, I didn´t want to see anyone.

I ran upstairs, as quickly as I could without falling. I wanted to end with this suffering. My boyfriend left me; I found that my Mother is living in the same place as I am. I couldn´t take anything more. It was too much suffering! I cried and sobbed till I Fell into an unpleasant dream.


EPOV

I hadn´t been out of my room in a day. I was too depressed, hurt, broken-hearted and betrayed. I got out of my room on Monday morning, ready to go to school. I met Mom downstairs, she looked worried and sad, she is usually happy. Emmet and Alice had the same look in their eyes. Bella wasn´t there, though. I was grateful and sad. Grateful, because that awkward tension in the air wasn´t going to be there; I was sad because I wasn´t able to see her.

I asked Alice why she wasn´t here and she answered that she wasn´t coming to school today. I asked if she was sick, no one answered. Emmet said it was late to school and we headed to my car. We arrived at school in record time. The day was awkward, slow and unhappily silent.

The whole week has been the same routine. Waking up, changing clothes to go to school, eat breakfast, go to school, study, come back home, do homework, dinner, go to sleep. It was the normal routine, the routine I have been doing these last months. What made this routine so boring is that Bella wasn´t in it. She haven´t came out of her room in seven days! She hasn´t eaten or drunk a thing. At first, I thought, that she was eating when I wasn´t, but Alice made me realize she wasn´t.

FLASHBACK

It was Wednesday, at five thirty in the afternoon. I was in my room doing home work, my door was open. That´s when I heard Alice. I got near the corridor to hear well.

-Bella, I am leaving here a tray with food for you. Please eat!

With that she left. Two hours later, my mom called us to have dinner. When I passed through Bella´s door, I noticed her tray was untouched.

While we were eating, I asked if Bella has been eating. Esme told me she wasn´t. I was shocked and worried.

END OF FLASHBACK

We were having lunch, silently. Dad, like everyone else was worried about Bella. He had stated that she was catatonic. He didn´t know how much longer she was going to stay like that.

-I think that Bella got worse when she talked to Beth- Alice stated.

-What? She talked to Beth?

-Yes, Edward, son. She wanted to talk in private with her. They went outside, we couldn´t hear a thing, until Bella started yelling at Beth, and Beth yelled back, they talked again, more yelling, and Bella suddenly went upstairs. After that, Beth and Connor left.

-What did Beth said to Bella?

-That´s none of your business.-Bella said. We looked at her shocked.-Esme, I just wanted to tell you that I´m going out. I´ll be back at 9 PM.

She looked at us all, turned around and went to the garage.

She looked terrible. She was thinner, her eyes were puffy and red. She looked way to fragile, like if you touch her she would collapse. Emmet tried to make us all feel better by saying that at least she was out of her room, we all glared at him and continued to eat in silence.

Emmet, Alice and I were watching a documental we needed to watch for school. Mom was cleaning the house and Dad was in his study. It was eight PM, one hour till Bella´s arrival. Right on cue, Bella entered the house, closed the door and collapsed into the floor crying.

I ran towards her, Em and Ali followed me. I hugged her tightly and took her to her room. In there, I laid her in her bed. She sat down, looked at us and stated ``She´s a sadistic bitch!´´. Then she cried more. I whispered to Emmet and Alice to let me alone with her.

I cuddled next to Bella on bed and hugged her. She cried for almost three hours till she fell asleep. I kissed her cheek, her eyes and her forehead, whispered goodnight and fell asleep, finally in my favorite place.

I woke up because Bella was stirring next to me. She opened her eyes and when she noticed I was hugging her she blushed and I smiled.

-I am sorry, Bella. I should have respected that you trusted her more. I shouldn´t have left you. I love you, my love.

-Edward, it was my entire fault! I should have told you before my story. Now I am telling you, so don´t interrupt me and listen.

She told me her whole story. From the instant she was born to now. I can´t believe that her mother left her that. How could she! The worst part is that she told her that she didn´t want her! I realized that when I told her that her parents didn´t want her three years ago, I touched her weakest point. I apologized to her about it, and she told me that it wasn´t my fault, that I didn´t know.

I asked her if she knew something about her biological father and she told me that her father left her mom before she was born. Her mother never talked too much about him, she just told her that he was an asshole. Bella never tried to find them.

-I found one, though. Beth, well, she is my biological Mom.

-What? That´s cool, isn´t it?

-Yeah, I think it is. She told me that the day she left me she was too drunk and drugged. She didn´t mean it, she wanted what was best for me. I didn´t believe her. This afternoon I went to her house. She is pregnant, Edward. She is happily married and pregnant. Her life has been so much better without me! Why didn´t she keep me? Was I too bad for her?

At the end she was crying again. I comforted her with hugs and sweet words. I didn´t like watching my Bella cry. She was too good for suffering. Man! She had been suffering all her life! I was going to talk seriously to Beth.

-Bella, honey, you need to sleep. I´ll leave you, and when you wake up, I'll be here.

I kissed her sweetly in the lips, and left her room. I was going to the hospital to talk to Beth.

Once I was in there, I asked the receptionist if she knew where I could find Beth. She told me she was at rest. Lucky me! I had more time to talk o her. I found her in the lunchroom. I got near her and asked her If I could talk to her, she made this sign with her hand signaling that I could take a sit.

-Beth, I don´t want to bother you, but I want to talk to you about Bella. She was upset, well that doesn´t even cover it, when she got home, mainly because you're pregnant.

-Is she okay, now?

-She´s better. She hadn´t eaten, drunken, slept or talk in this whole 7 days. I bet she is sleeping now. Let´s not go off of subject. I want know your side of the story. You may think that you should tell Bella about, but she´s too fragile right now to get some harsh peace of new.

-Edward, I'll tell you everything. First of all, I want you to know that love Bella. I never wanted to leave her.

I was two years in Broadway doing a musical. There I met Bella´s father. We were pretending to be a couple in the musical. This led to me going to his house, he coming to mine. And one thing led to the other, and I got pregnant. When I told him, he told me not to tell the media about it, my boss fired me. With the money I had earned in my years in Broadway I bought a house in Seattle. We were happy and stable until Bella was one year old. That´s when I started running out of money. I got a horrible job in which I had to work a lot and the paid wasn´t that good. One day, my coworkers invited me to this party and I went. I had left Bella with another friend. I got drunk that night, and I forgot every single sorrow I had. I liked forgetting, and I started going to bars more often. In this bars they introduced me to drugs. And that´s how all started. The drugs and alcohol were affecting me and Bella very much. I had these days in which I was not drunk or drugged. Those days Bella and I would sing (she has her parent´s talent), dance, or play. But that lasted just two days per five months. When I left her, I didn´t mean to say what I said. I just wanted a better life for her, I didn´t want her to follow me. I was too drunk and drugged the day I left her. I didn´t know what I was saying.

I grief my daughter´s lost for a year and a half, I still do, although I know where she is. I met Connor and things started to get better. In three years I was able to leave the drugs and alcohol. It lasted a year because I couldn´t forgive myself. In three years I had been takings drugs and not taking drugs, getting drunk and not getting drunk and getting drunk. It has been two years since I´m stable. Last years ago I married Connor, now I´m three months pregnant. I still can´t believe Connor stayed with me these whole time!

-Thanks, Beth. You know? You should try to tell your story to Bells, I am sure she will understand everything if you tell her. You can be her Mom again!

-No, Edward. I´ll never be her Mom. I´m her mother, not her Mom. We lost it, Edward. We lost the Mom-daughter bond! Don´t you get it?

-You don´t want the bond to exist that´s the problem!-Bella suddenly yelled.

-Bella. I don´t mean that. I mean…

-You know what? Go the hell! You are the worst! Selfish bitch! Poor little baby! Are you going to leave him too? Of course you´re not! Because you have your husband and the baby! Why wasn't I enough for you?

-Bella, you were, it´s just…

-I wasn´t, liar! Edward, let´s go!

I stood up and followed her outside. I got in my car and she got in her car, we sped home. Once in there, she dragged me to my room, we sat down there. I hugged her while she cried. Before she fell asleep I told her that tomorrow she was going to school, going back to her normal life. She, surprisingly, agreed. We both fell asleep. I hoped that this week was going to be normal, no problems.
