BPOV

I walked out of school and was met by Edward. He had skipped most of the day but came to pick me up. He was taking me to the hospital to have some specialized testing done by his father. I was sick but I didn't seem sick. I was losing weight, my skin was pale, I didn't have much of an appetite, and I had dark circles under my eyes. I had recently been getting red patches all over my body and forgetting things. Edward was silent the whole drive. I was too. My father had convinced me to go. I thought it was just a phase. When we reached the hospital Edward signed me in. It was about 3:00. I sat in a chair in the corner flipping through an old magazine. Edward came to sit by me. He seemed convinced that something was wrong.

"Carslie was called to the ER. A family got into a crash and they are short staffed. He'll be with us shortly."Edward informed me.

After about an hour of silence Carslie walked out. He ushered us back and got me a room. He handed me a gown and had me change. He then came back with a tray full of tools. I noticed that there were needles. I groaned. They ignored me. Carslie walked over and started examining me. He started by checking my heartbeat. He didn't need the stethoscope but since a nurse had walked into the room with some more equipment he had to make it look good. He then took my temperature and blood pressure. After that he checked my throat, mouth, eyes, and ears. He then started feeling my neck for anything strange.

"Bella I didn't want to do this but I have too. I can't find anything wrong so I'm going to run some tests and take some samples."Carslie said.

He had me hold out my arm and put a tourniquet on me. He then drew some blood from my arm. The sight of blood made me dizzy and nearly made me faint. Carslie quickly bandaged me up and hid it from sight. He also took a skin scraping. He then hooked me up to the machine the nurse had brought in.

"Bella this is an EKG. It is going to measure you heart rate. So you will be stuck in here with Edward for an hour."Carslie explained.

"Carslie my dad will be home in about an hour. He will be worried. I have to go home."I protested.

"Bella you can call him. Don't worry."Edward assured me.

I sank back in the bed I was sitting on. "Edward can you bring me my backpack. I can't reach it. If I'm going to be stuck here for an hour I better do my homework. I'm just glad it's Friday. I am going to be exhausted tomorrow."

Edward brought me my backpack and I started working on my homework. If I got stuck on a problem Edward would help me. At 6:00 my cell rang. I looked at the caller ID. It was my dad. I picked it up. Carslie entered the phone as I answered.

"Hello" I said.

"Bella where are you?"Charlie questioned franticly.

"Dad calm down I'm at the hospital. I—"he didn't give me time to finish and cut me off.

"Bella why are you there? Did something happen? Are you hurt?"I could hear him grabbing his keys in the background.

"Dad remember those test you wanted me to have. The appointment was today. I told you this morning."I assured him.

Carslie held out his hand for the phone.

"Dad would like to speak with you."I handed the phone to Carslie who walked out of the room leaving me with Edward.

"Bella my father is going to keep you overnight for more tests."Edward informed me.

"Are you guys going to ruin my whole spring break? I was hoping to go camping."I said sarcastically.

Carslie walked in and shoved my phone in my backpack. Edward put away my finished homework and Carslie unhooked me from the machine. He then had me walk out to the hall and put me in a wheelchair. I insisted that I could walk but Edward dazzled me into the wheelchair. They walked me down to radiology. Carslie had me drink some foul smelling stuff and lay down on an uncomfortable bed. Edward said they were doing a CAT scan of my head and abdomen. After that they took me down a couple more doors and did some x-rays. We went back to my room and Edward sat with me while Carslie look at the scans on a computer.

"Edward I'm starving can you please go get me something to eat I haven't ate in 7 hours."I requested.

Edward was about to leave but Carslie walked in with a sorrowful face. "Bella I found something on your scans. We have to do surgery. You might have cancer and we need to do a biopsy. We found 3 tumors. I have informed your father and my family. They are on their way."

I felt like he had just hit me with a brick. Cancer. I was too young for cancer. "Where?"

"One is in the brain. One is on your stomach. And one is on your liver. They may or may not be cancer. We have to do more tests to be sure."He replied sadly.

"How much does the family know?"I inquired.

"Nothing. I just told them it was urgent and to get down here."He said.

Just then my family entered followed by my father. I jumped up and hugged them tears coming to my eyes.

"I might have cancer."I sobbed into Esme's shoulder.

Edward and my father look like they were about to fall over. I went over to Edward and hugged him hoping to comfort him. It didn't work. Carslie told my family what he had told me and Charlie agreed to sign the papers. Carslie also hooked me up to an IV and heart monitor.

"You can't eat because of the anesthesia but your blood sugar is low. The heart monitor is just a precaution."Carslie explained.

I didn't care I just sank into the bed and cried. Emmett tried to cheer everybody up with jokes but it didn't work. Jasper was so upset that he didn't make any attempt to calm everyone. I fell asleep around 8:00 from exhaustion. Edward was stroking my face and Alice was rubbing my back. The rest of my family was still not over the shock and was somewhere in the room. Charlie was sitting in the corner when I passed out.

I don't know how long I was out but I was in a lot of pain when I woke up. I sat up and realized I was alone. I tried to get out of bed but I was stuck by cords. I looked out the window and saw the sun high in the sky. I looked at the clock and saw it was 1:00pm. I looked up when I saw the door open. A nurse walked in.

"Well hello sweetie. You've been out for a while. I'll send the doc in."She said.

She hurried out of the room and soon after Carslie came in followed by Edward and Charlie. Carslie came over and looked at some records.

"How do you feel Bella?"He questioned.

"I'm in pain. My stomach is killing me and I got a major headache. Add that to not eating for over 24 hours and you get me."I replied sarcastically.

He gave me a weak smile. "Well that's normal. If you feel up to it I can send the rest of the family in. It will be about a month before we get all the test results back and about 4 days till you go home."

"Send the family in. I want to do something for spring break so Alice and I can plan a shopping trip for next weekend. And please Carslie I'm asking you this as a daughter, don't let anybody outside of the family know about this."

He nodded and soon after the family walked in and showered me in kisses.


I sat on my bed doing my homework when Alice leaped through the window. I jumped. It had been a month since the tests had been done and nobody had any answers yet. Edward and Jasper were on a hunting trip. Edward had given strict orders to make sure that I was watched every second of the day. After dinner I had convinced Esme to let me go up to my room to have some alone time. I was graduating in two weeks and nobody but the family ever found out about the tumors.

"Alice if you leave me alone I will go shopping with you this weekend. I have homework to do. It is hard enough with these memory issues without constant interruptions."I told her.

"Bella I'm not falling for that again. You remember what happened last time I left you alone."She said.

I had also had more balance problems. Last time Alice had left me alone I fell down the steps. Luckily I walked away with just bruises but Edward had yelled at Alice for a week and a half.

"Please Alice 2 shopping trips anywhere you choose."I bargained.

"Fine. But don't leave this room. I'll go wash your truck."She agreed.

Edward had also bought me a truck and I was not allowed to drive alone anymore. I now drove a Ford F150. After she left I went back to my homework. After about 5 minutes she came back to my window.

"Bella Emmett is about to do something really stupid and he is home alone. Can I leave you here for a few minutes?"Alice asked.

"Yeah my dad will be home in 5 minutes. Everything will be fine."I assured her.

She left and I was just about to go back to my homework when my phone rang. I reached into my backpack and retrieved it. It was Carslie.

"Hello Carslie" I greeted him.

"Bella you have cancer."He stated.


I know nothing about medical diseases or cancer so sorry if there is any wrong information. This is defiantly the longest chapter I have ever written. I wouldn't have written it but it was bugging me. I hope you like this story.
