Not a Happy Story

Chapter 7

Alice POV

"Alice, what I'm about to tell you is private please don't even tell Jasper! And what can I say Alice it's not going to be a happy story" Bella said while looking at me with watery eyes.

"I promise Bella"

Bella paused for a moment than took a deep breath then spoke.

"When I still lived with my mom, I met James. He was in the same situation I was his parents divorced and his mom moved with my mom to Phoenix while his father stayed here in Forks. I thought he was the only person I could trust that understood what I was going through. But I was wrong.

"We started to date, and we were with each other for about three months, up until his mother died. His mom died in a car crash. My mother was driving her to the mall to go shopping, but than she got hit by a drunk driver. His mom died on impact. He always blamed my mom for what happened, that's when he started to hit me, and slam my head into the wall. The first time we were yelling at each other and he called me a bunch of names, than hit me. The first time he did that he promised it would never happen again, but he lied every time I went over he would do something to hurt me. That's when I told him I was going to break up with him and call the police. But he had another plan."

At that point Bella was crying, tears were falling down her checks and she wasn't stopping them. I sat closer to Bella and pulled her in a hug.

"It's okay Bella you don't need to continue."

"No you need to hear the whole story. Now where was I?"

"James had another plan."

"Oh right. When ever I wasn't with James apparently he went to a gang and was now a member of the gang, he said if I told anyone that he abused me, or that he was part of a gang that he would kill my mother. And just to prove to me that he would he killed a homeless man right in front of me, thinking that doing that would make up my mind even more. I agreed to stay silent. But I had a plan, get all upset with my mom so I could move in with my dad and be as far away from my mom and James as possible. It hurt being away from my mom but I had too. So when James heard I was going back to Forks he decided to follow me, to make sure I kept my mouth shut. And he hasn't stopped at all. He still can kill my mother that's why I put up with it. But I don't think I can go on much longer Alice, it hurts and I'm slowly just being killed by him! I don't know what I should do. I could tell my dad but he wouldn't believe me because he's best friends with James dad."

At this point Bella was sobbing like you wouldn't believe, and I was in the same condition as her.

"Bella shhhh, I wish I could say its okay Bella, but as one of your best friends, I can't tell you that."

Bella stayed crying in my arms for a bit, than it hit me.

"Bella does Edward know about this?"

"Yes he does." She sniffled

"Let me guess you told him because he kinda went through the same thing with his parents?"

"You're right, again" she sobbed.

I couldn't believe it! This sweet innocent girl who has done nothing wrong for the world has had so many things wrong in her world! Bella has never littered, she barley swears, and is always a fun good girl! Why? Why is all I can ask. Why not me instead of her, why not someone who hates her have this happen to them!

"Alice… there is something else…"

"You aren't pregnant are you?"

"Ha no Alice, I'm not pregnant."

"Than what?"

"When I went to the doctor, something didn't look right. So they ran a couple tests, and they think that I may have cancer…"

"WHAT? SERIOUSLY!"

"Yes!" she cried!

Why? Why Bella?

Bella pov.

After I told Alice everything we drove home. It was quite. When we got to the house I ran inside knowing Alice was behind me. We were still crying from the park. I ran and threw myself on Edwards's bed. I heard footsteps come flying up the stairs and someone enter the room. I felt Edward sit on the bed and pull me into his arms. I looked up at him.

"Edward, I'm scared."

"Shhhh Bella I'm here, I'm not going to leave you."

"I told Alice, and she said she couldn't tell me it was okay. I don't know what to do Edward! I haven't told you this but the doctors may think I have cancer and the thing with James makes it like 10x worse!" she said in a rush.

"Bella, you may have cancer?"

"Yes I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

"It's okay, just keep me updated."

"I promise."

Bella just sat in my arms crying. She cried for hours, until she finally fell asleep. I laid her down and realized I was hungry, I looked at the time it was 1 in the morning. I started to head down real quite to see if there were any cookies or anything I could have to eat to hold me over till breakfast.

I crept downstairs and started looking through the cupboards to see if I could find anything. I found the cookie jar and put it on the counter so I could grab a glass of milk. Once I had my milk I sat down at the counter and stuck my hand in the cookie jar. Just as my hand was in the cookie jar, someone had turned the light on. I turned around and saw my mom standing there with her arms crossed and a little grin on her face.

"You know it has been about ten years since I have caught you in this exact same position. You were so cute back than."

"What are you talking about? I'm cute now!"

"Haha sure. So what are you doing young man?"

"Ummm want a cookie?"

"As long as you pour a glass of milk for me."

I got up and grabbed a glass for my mom and poured her a glass of milk.

"You know the last time you were here something was on your mind. It was about your mom and dad. So what is it this time?"

"How did you know something was wrong?"

"You always get up in the middle of the night to eat."

"It's Bella. She has cancer. Well she may have cancer. They aren't sure yet."

"Oh my! That is certainly not good! Is she alright? When are they sure?"

"I don't know I didn't press her to much for information."

"Hmm okay."

It was silent for a little while. It actually wasn't an awkward silence either.

"So you and Bella, are you dating?"

"Mom!"

"What? I'm your mother I'm supposed to ask!"

"Well to answer your question. Yes we are."

"Ohhh goodie! And it's about time too! You have no idea how long I have been waiting for you two to get together!"

"Mom! Seriously?"

"Yes Edward seriously!"

And so that's how the rest of our night went. My mom picking on me and just us talking, it's been a while, and I hope its not a long time before we do this again.

I can honestly say I'm a mommy's boy and I'm proud of it!

Sooo there you go! Another chapter! I know been a little long! I try to keep up but somehow school always gets in the way! Sooo hope you enjoyed!
