Chapter Eight
For the rest of the week Edward sat with me and dragged Rosalie along. She was learning quickly that none of her so called friend wanted anything to do with her. Whenever she would try and approach them they would ignore her. They had also started several rumours about her that were going around the school. She finally knew what it was like being in my shoes, except the physical side. As much as I didn't like Rosalie I was glad the popular group had enough sense not to push past or trip a pregnant woman.
It was difficult for me to sit and talk with Edward everyday knowing that I couldn't have him. I missed being with him even if it was for only a short time. I couldn't tell if he missed being with me, I hoped he did. Alice would come over and have lunch with us more now that Edward was sitting with us, which meant that Jasper would come over to. Emmett seemed to steer clear of us completely. I would occasionally catch him staring at Rosalie and I had no idea what it was about. Maybe it could have something to do with them kissing.
Outside of lunch I tried to avoid Edward, it hurt to see him with her. I knew he had to be with her it was the right thing for him to do.
I had stayed back at school one afternoon because I was tutoring some of the younger students for extra credit and plus it looked good on my college application when I saw Emmett and Rosalie having a serious discussion just near my locker. I hide myself at the end of the lockers so I could still hear them. I know it's wrong to eavesdrop but I let my curiosity get the better of me for once.
"Rose why the hell haven't you spoken to me in weeks? I don't understand why you're doing this, I could help you." Emmett said leaning down a bit so he was closer to her height.
"Emmett how can you help me? I'm with Edward it's his baby." She was looking around making sure that no one was there to hear them.
"Here's the thing Rosalie, I don't think the baby is Edward's. I think your just saying it's his so you won't been seen around the school as the slut." He hissed at her. I had no idea what do to Emmett didn't think the baby was Edward's but who's else could it be?
"I think that the baby is mine" Holy shit was he serious. So he and Rosalie did more than just kiss. This would hurt Edward so bad he was so angry about just a kiss and now they slept together.
"And what makes you think that Emmett?" Rosalie was playing dump.
"Because around the time the baby was conceived you slept with me and if I remember correctly you said Edward hadn't given it up to you in a while because of his little crush on Swan." The look on Rosalie's face told me Emmett was telling the truth.
"What do you want me to say Emmett?" He hit the locker in his anger because of the games Rosalie was playing.
"Damn it tell me it's mine. I needed to know the truth Rosalie. If it is mine you know I would do the right thing. You can't keep me away from my baby." Rosalie sighed.
"It's yours Emmett, but we can't do anything it would kill Edward to find out. We've already hurt him so much." I couldn't take this anymore they had hurt Edward so much. Rosalie was in a relationship with him and she went and slept with his brother. How could a person do that? Sleeping with someone else while in a relationship is one thing but to sleep with that persons brother just makes it so much worse. I felt sick to my stomach with the thought of what they had done to Edward.
I turned around forgetting about going to my locker and rushing towards the toilet. I couldn't hold it down and longer I vomited into the toilet. I felt so bad, I sat on the floor and cried. Why was I so emotional about this? It didn't involve me directly, but it involved Edward and anything that could hurt Edward hurt me because I loved him so much.
I went home still not feeling completely well, maybe it was more than just emotional maybe I had a bug. When I got home my dad wasn't there and there was only a note saying he would be out for the rest of the night, nothing new there. I made my way up to my room thinking I would start my homework giving me some free time over the weekend and giving me a distraction right now. I got all my books and was sitting on my bed ready to study when my cell phone rang.
"Hello." I answered without even looking at the caller ID.
"Bella" His velvet voice said.
"Edward what are you doing calling?" We hadn't spoken outside of school since he found out Rosalie was pregnant.
"I just needed to talk to you. I miss you."
"I miss you to, Edward there's something I need to tell you." He needed to know about Rosalie and Emmett he had a right to know that the baby wasn't his.
"I need to tell you something as well. I love you Bella no matter what. I just needed to tell someone, I got to see the baby yesterday. I heard its heart beat and everything. Bella I'm going to be a dad." He sounded so happy about being a father finally, how could I be the person to ruin it for him.
"Wow that's great Edward I'm happy for you." To myself I didn't sound happy for him but he didn't seem to notice.
"What did you need to tell me?"
"Um nothing it's alright just something to do with school you know me always thinking about school work." He laughed at me about always thinking about school work.
"You always are I have to go but I'll see you at school on Monday."
"Bye Edward" I said hanging up the phone. As much as it hurt me to not tell Edward it would hurt him so much more to find out the baby wasn't his especially since he was looking forward to it so much. I curled up in bed forgetting about my school work and cried myself to sleep. Crying myself to sleep was becoming a common thing when it came to Edward.
