Chapter Six
The next few weeks continued the same. Edward would sit with me at lunch and come over after school most days. It was Friday and I was looking forward to the weekend I would get to spend time with Edward. I saw Edward in the morning, he came to my locker like he did every morning.
"So I have something planned for us this weekend." He said giving me his smirk.
"And what might this plan be?" I asked looking up into his emerald eyes.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." He knew I hated surprises. Over the last few weeks we had learnt a lot about each other. I knew more about him then Rosalie probably did.
"Edward you know I hate surprises. Can't you please just tell me?" I gave him the puppy dog eyes that I had learnt from Alice.
"Don't do that you know if you do that I'll give in. Just let me have this one surprise Bella please." He was begging me to not ask anymore. I sigh defeated.
"Fine but I still don't like surprises."
"I'll see you at lunch." He bent to kiss me but he stopped himself before he actually did. We were still keeping everything a secret. I just had this feeling that if our relationship got out it would ruin everything we had built.
My first class seemed to drag on, I just wanted it to be lunch so I could spend some time with Edward even if it was me "tutoring" him. As I was walking to second period I noticed Edward and Rosalie having a heated discussion. She was in tears and Edward look like he was about to hurt someone. I walked off figuring that if Edward wanted me to know what it was about he would tell me at lunch.
When the bell rang for lunch I was out of my seat straight away. I made my way to the lunch line keeping an eye out for Edward. When I finally had my lunch I sat at my normal table. Five minutes into my lunch Edward finally arrived, he looked like hell, he had red rings under his eyes from what I thought was crying.
"Are you ok? What happened?" I didn't know what to do he looked like his world had just ended.
"I'm fine. I'm going home but I'll come over after school we need to talk." With that he got up and left with no goodbye or anything. I didn't like the way he said we had to talk. Did I do something to push him away? I thought we were great together, but maybe I was wrong. Could this have had something to do with why Rosalie was talking to him earlier? I needed these questions answered but Edward wasn't here to answer them for me.
I noticed Alice was still sitting at her friends table. I did something that I never had to do before and walked over to her. She noticed me and looked up confused. Maybe Alice would have some answers for me.
"Alice can I talk to you please it's important" She nodded and excused herself from the table. We walked outside until we were away from everyone.
"Bella what's wrong you never come to the table?"
"Alice is something wrong with Edward? He looked upset at lunch but wouldn't tell me."
"Not that I know of. What does it matter Bella? I thought you were only tutoring him." She said nudging me.
"I am only tutoring him, I just noticed something was wrong and he just went home, so I was just wondering if you knew." She shook her head.
"No I didn't even know he went home. Don't worry Bella he'll be fine he's probably just in one of his boy moods." I nodded and we went back to our lunches. I didn't think he was fine or that he was just in a mood. There was something more to this and the only way I could find out was through Edward.
My last classes seemed to drag on, until finally the last bell rang. I raced to my truck eager to get home. I had started driving my own truck to school so Edward could come over straight away after school instead of waiting until Alice dropped me off. When I arrived there I was disappointed to notice Edwards's car wasn't there yet. I made my way inside and got a drink waiting for him to arrive, not even five minutes had passed and it felt like eternity. While I waited for him I started my homework, it wasn't until two hours later and my homework done that he knocked on my door.
I opened the door to find him worst then what he was at school. I stood there shocked I had never seen Edward this out of it before.
"Bella can I come in please there's things we need to talk about." I nodded my head allowing for him to come in. He made his way to the lounge room and I followed after closing the door. We sat down together and were silent for a few minutes.
"Bella can I just say I am really sorry for this. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I like you, that doesn't even cover it I love you, but something's happened." I knew it he was breaking up with me.
"You're breaking up with me aren't you?" We couldn't even look each other in the eye.
"Yes" If I hadn't been listening for his reply I wouldn't have heard it, it was so quiet.
"Why? Did I do something wrong? Wasn't I good at, well you know?" I just didn't understand where I had gone wrong. We got to know each other, we had been together in the most intimate way more than that once at the party. Did I not give it to him enough? I was so confused I didn't know what I did.
"Trust me it wasn't you at all, you did nothing wrong and well to do with sex you were amazing." He paused not knowing what to say.
"Is this to do with why Rosalie was talking to you today at school?" He looked up shocked that I knew.
"You saw that?" I just nodded my head I couldn't form words anymore.
"Yeah it does and I swear to you Bella what I tell you happened all before me and you. I swear to God it did." He started pulling at his hair like he always did when he was nervous.
"Rosalie's 2 months pregnant." My breath hitched. If Rosalie was pregnant there was a good chance it was Edward's. I knew she had kissed Emmett but I didn't know if that went any further.
"Is it yours?" I managed to get out in a ragged breath. He nodded his head.
"Yes, she swears she's never been with anyone else. Bella if it's mine I need to be there. I need to do the right thing." I knew what he meant by the right thing. He needed to go back to Rosalie. He needed to be there for her and the baby and I wasn't going to stop him, no matter how much I loved him. Yes I said I loved him, this was more to me than just a teenager relationship, but I needed to be a better person and let him go to Rosalie.
"I understand Edward I'm not going to keep you from your child. I wish things were different I won't deny that but you're a good guy Edward." I moved over to hug him just so I could have one last touch before he had to leave my life permanently. I didn't expect him to start crying in my arms.
"I'm so scared Bella. I don't know what to do with a baby." We just sat there while he cried in my arms, after a while he managed to stop.
"I'm so sorry Bella, no matter what I love you."
"I love you to." He bent down and gave me one final kiss before leaving me. The first time we had actually said I love you to each other happened when he had to walk out of my life. When I heard the door closed I allowed myself to break down for what I had lost. I had lost my best friend, my lover and my soul mate. I knew school would be hard but I needed to put a strong face on for him, he had enough to worry about with the baby.
My dad came home and noticed me crying on the lounge and for the first time since I moved here he gave me a hug and at that time I really needed it. He didn't say a word to comfort me but the hug was enough. I managed to get up into bed and cried myself to sleep. I was glad that I had the weekend to sort myself out before seeing Edward again. I would never have thought that my life would have been turned upside down like this a few weeks ago, but because of Edward Cullen I would never be the same.
