Life After Edward

BPOV

I don’t know how she managed it, but the little pixie did. Four of my five classes were with her. Rose was even in two of them. In my Government class, I had all four of them. Alice was the one who talked to me the most, but I could tell the others were watching me just as much as she was. Every time I flinched in pain, some one was by my side or asking if I was ok.

It was Friday of the first week, and I was in my one class I didn’t have a Cullen in. College Algebra. This class I had with Angela and Ben.

“So, the Cullens are here?” Angela asked me. It was a few minutes before class started and our Professor wasn’t in the room yet.

“Yep, Alice is my roommate.” I said as I was getting my book out of my bag.

“So, what did they say about the…” Ben started to ask but I interrupted.

“As far as they know I got pregnant by Jacob, from La Push. I’m not ready for him to know.” I said, hoping they would drop it.

“Alright, if that’s what you want. Don’t they deserve to know? At least he should know. Is he even here? I haven’t seen him.” Angela asked.

“No, he isn’t here. I’ll tell them eventually. I’m not ready yet. If I tell them, I know they will tell him. I don’t think I can handle that.” At that moment, our teacher walked in and we all knew to shut up.

I walked out of the classroom, glad to only have one more class to go, then the weekend! Alice was waiting to walk me to our class.

“Bye guys, I’ll see you two Sunday.” I said to Ben and Angela as they headed in the opposite direction.

“Bye, Bella,” they said together.

“Sunday?” Alice asked me as we walked.

“The three of us were going to lunch; would you like to join us?” I asked her figuring she would want to keep an eye on me. She paused a second long enough for me to know something was up.

“We’re going hunting that day.” She said to me, but I felt there was more to it than that.

“Alice, what are you not telling me?” I asked her, but before she could answer,
a sharp pain in my stomach made us forget our conversation. My hand flew to my stomach and I doubled over in pain. Alice held me up.

“Breathe through it Bella.” She said to me soothingly and I listened. Once it was over, I started walking again toward class.

“Bella, please go to Carlisle. What if something is wrong with the baby?” Alice asked me, which made me stop and think.

“I really don’t want to.” I told her, but I knew she could tell I was giving in.

“You know it’s for the best.”

“Ok, but after this class.” I realized I had to give in to her. I hadn’t kept food down in two weeks, the pain was getting worse and I felt weaker then ever. As I reached for the door handle to the classroom, I felt a ripping, searing pain in my stomach. I fell to my knees, and I could feel Alice cold arms around me. Everything went dark and the last thing I heard was Emmett yelling my name.
