My Paper Heart
Chapter 4
Waking up and getting ready for school was not something I was looking forward to, today.
Emmett, Jasper and Alice were all going to stand by me after finding out Edward's plan and my dad upon learning Edward's plan as well had a meeting with his parents but it wasn't until Wednesday as they all had conflicting schedules. So I was depending on my brother and friends to get me through this.
Opening my closet I looked through for something comfortable, yet nice. After all it was the first day of school.
I settled on a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a white long sleeve shirt with a red scarf, black leather boots and a black leather jacket, Jasper said we were taking his motorcycle today.
I headed downstairs and Emmett was already eating.
"Hey, you ready for today?" he asked.
"No. I don't want to deal with these people." I sighed.
There was a knock at the door and I motioned I'd get it.
"Rose!" I gasped. "What are you doing here?" I asked in surprise.
"I need to talk you two." She sighed.
"Come in." I ushered her into the kitchen.
"Why are you here?" Emmett bristled.
"Edward and Jess are planning on not only spreading the rumors, but trying to spray you with red dye or dump something on you at lunch. After I heard what you went through, I've been struggling." She looked to Emmett. "I'm pregnant." She cried.
"I'll leave you two alone." I grabbed my poptart and walked out onto the porch.
Jasper pulled up a few minutes later.
"You ready?" he smiled.
"As I'll ever be. Riley picking up Alice?" I asked.
"Yes. She was freaking out over what to wear." He laughed.
"How do you know?" I laughed with him.
"Because she called me five times asking what his favorite color was, was he a boob or butt man. I want to bleach my brain." He groaned.
"Well it's got to be better than what's going down in my house." I shook my head.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'm sure it'll be all over school soon. Let's go, we've got paint to dodge." I sighed.
He quirked and eye at me and I told him I'd explain once we were at school.
Once we pulled up at school I explained everything and a few minutes later Rose and Emmett pulled in behind us.
"Everything OK?" I looked between them.
"It will be." Emmett smiled. "She's got something to say."
"I'm so sorry Bella. I shouldn't have took Edward's side. I was your friend first and I should have stayed your friend. I'm so sorry." She hugged me tightly.
"I'm here for you Rose." I hugged her back.
"Thank you." She cried.
We all walked into school together with Edward and Jessica staring daggers at Rose.
"Just so you know Edward. My dad knows what you have planned and has a meeting scheduled with your parents. So go ahead and do or say what you want, but be warned. Your parents are going to find out about it and charges will be pressed. Jessica, your parents will be finding out as well and if it happens on school property, you'll be expelled, bye-bye senior year." I smirked and we all walked away.
"You're nothing but a whore Bella Swan!" Jessica yelled.
"No Jessica, you're the whore. You're the one who slept with my boyfriend. Then again, he wasn't much of a boyfriend if he slept with you in the first place. And I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't cheating on you, watch your back." I smiled at her and walked away.
I went about my day, Edward being in all my classes and trying to talk to me, befriend me.
"Bella, please can we talk." He sighed in the only class we had without any of the others.
"No. I have nothing to say to you." I snapped.
"Oh, so you can kill my baby, but you can't talk to me!" he yells.
I wasn't going to let him get to me.
"I did no such thing Edward. If you're trying to make me look like the bad person here, give it up. I lost the baby do to stress, plain and simple! I was young!" I snapped back.
"Oh so that's what they call abortion now?" he laughed.
The teacher walked in at the time.
"Mr. Cullen!" he snapped. "You'll see me after class and you'll sit to the front and leave Ms. Swan alone." He nodded towards me.
I took my seat in the back of the class and tried to keep my mind off of Edward and the looks people kept giving me, by the time class was over, I was so ready for lunch.
I met Rose, Jasper and Emmett by the cafeteria.
"Where are Riley and Alice?" I asked.
"Inside, they got the table already." Rose smiled and I nodded.
"You OK?" Jasper asked.
"No. I had words with Edward last period. He had to stay with the teacher.
"Good, I'm sure he deserved it." My brother shook his head.
"Uh, yeah. He's been trying to act nice all morning, but I knew where it was going." I shrugged.
The rest of the week went by uneventfully, Edward just stared me down.
His parents brought him over on Wednesday for the talk and we all had to be present.
I was quite uncomfortable, but dad explained it might be easier.
He did all the talking to make it easier for me.
He told then the entire story.
Esme was crying by the end and asked if she could hug me.
I nodded yes.
"Bella, why didn't you come to us." Carlisle asked. "I'm a doctor, I could've helped you." He sighed.
"I was scared. Edward was mean and cruel to mean when he broke up with me. I didn't think you'd want me around either." Tears rolled down my face.
"We're so sorry Bella. Edward you should be ashamed of yourself. As of this point and time, you're grounded from everything that doesn't have to do with school. No Jessica, no parties, no nothing." Carlisle snapped.
"What! That's not fair! All this because she lost a fucking baby! We don't even know if it was mine!" he yelled.
"Edward Anthony!" Esme scolded. "Do you want to lose your car too?" she snapped.
"No." he crossed his arms.
"Then that's enough." Carlisle finished.
"Carlisle, Esme. Thank you for coming over and hearing me out. This was very hard on Bella and our family as you can imagine." My dad sighed.
"If there's anything you need going forward, please don't hesitate." Carlisle assured us.
"Thank you Carlisle." My dad shook hands with him and they both hugged me before leaving.
Emmett and Jasper came downstairs as soon as they were all gone.
"You OK?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah, he shouldn't bother me anymore." I smiled.
"Good." Jasper kissed me. "I've got to head home. I'll see you tomorrow."
"OK." After a mini make out session on the front porch we broke apart and said our goodbyes.
I walk inside to see Emmett and my dad in a heated discussion.
I guess he's telling dad his 'good news'.
I sneak up to my room to avoid any more drama for the night, if I can help it.
I fall into a peaceful sleep.
