Chapter 17
Everyone had drawn their own conclusion. Finally, I had to come out and tell them. It was lunchtime and I was ready.
"Are you sure about this, Bella?" Edward asked.
"Positive, better let them know now before I explode during school."
"Yo everyone listen up!" Emmett yelled.
"The rumors are true. I'm pregnant they aren't Edwards, I was raped." Silence. Then "she said they."
"Twins." More whispers followed and I ran out of the cafeteria into familiar arms.
"Wow! The school and the trial all in one month, how do you feel?" Jake asked.
"I'll let you know when I catch my breath."
"No time, you have to go to the hospital right away!"
"Why?"
"I'll explain in the car."
"You know Edward will think you kidnapped me."
"Well, I don't care. Charlie needs you." Charlie? Oh my god!
After checking with the office, I was informed that Charlie had been shot in the chest and wasn't doing well. He was shot in the chest before and survived.
I quickly ran to the front counter and found room 211. Charlie didn't look like himself. The valiant hero had fallen.
"Bella?" he asked weakly.
"Dad, I'm here."
"I'm not going to make it."
"Don't think like that."
"Excuse me, maam; ICU is for immediate family only." She said.
"I'm his daughter. Dad I'm right here." Everyone knew I was Charlie's daughter. Why didn't she?
"The wolf will take care of you." What? Did he know about Jacob and Edward? Then he was gone. I stayed in the hospital holding his hand until someone came in.
"Bella?"
"He's gone." I was shocked.
"Bella, I'll take you home."
"Thanks Jake." I left the room and something felt unsafe. Carlisle looked at me confused.
"Bella what are you doing here? Did you hurt yourself?" Carlisle asked.
"You don't know?" A blank stare. "Charlie had been shot and he's dead." I was crying.
"I'll call Edward. You can wait in my office. Stress isn't good for the boys."
"Okay! Thanks Jake for everything." Jacob left. I sat in Carlisle's office and couldn't stop crying. My dad was gone. I picked up my cell phone.
"Hello?"
