I woke up and stared at my ceiling above me with very watery eyes. My throat burned and I couldn't swallow. I sat up slowly as things around me began to spin. I didn't like the feeling that was in my stomach. I leapt out of bed and stumbled down the hallway to my bathroom in the dark hallway. I quickly flipped on the light and threw open the lid of the toilet. I hated throwing up. I held back my hair the best that I could until I was done.
I rinsed my mouth out and began to search through my cabinets to find something to help with the symptoms I was having. I grew dizzy and decided that I would look later. I walked back to bed feeling very cold. I slipped back into bed and closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep.
I awoke again feeling something cold on my forehead. It felt so good having it upon my burning head. I slowly opened my eyes and found Edward was standing above me with a worried expression.
"Edward I don't feel well." I said hoarsely. He sat on the bed next to me.
"You're burning up Bella. Have you taken anything for it yet?" He asked as he still kept his ice cold hand on my forehead. I only shook my head.
"No. I tried looking last night. But I was so dizzy and couldn't stand long. What time is it?" I croaked looking at him pathetically.
"Its 11:30 in the morning love. Let me get you something to take." He said as he stood quickly removing his hand.
I didn't want him to leave. Not even for a second. I watched him as he quickly exited my room and came back within seconds. He had a glass of water and something for me to take. I had to sit up slowly as he handed me the glass of water and the two pills. He sat down on the bed next to me as I took them from him. I winced as the pills painfully made their way down my throat. The water helped soothe it, but it still was not pleasant.
"Where is Charlie?" I asked as I handed him the empty glass and he set it on my night stand.
"He is at the meeting in La Push for today and tomorrow remember?" Edward said as I snuggled back under my blankets. I only nodded my head as Edward laid next to me.
"Jesus Bella, you're burning up. Maybe I should take you to Carlisle. I don't think this is just an ordinary flu." He said as he brushed the hair out of my face. Edward always worried so much about me.
I shook my head, "We are not going to your house and we are not calling Carlisle. I am fine Edward. Just stay with me?" I asked quietly.
"Of course love." He said as he kissed my cheek softly.
I drifted off to sleep within seconds with Edward laying beside me humming me my lullaby. When I awoke, Edward was in a chair sitting across from me.
"You moved." I said sitting up slowly.
Edward rushed to my side and helped me sit up.
"Relax! I am fine." I said laughing slowly.
"Your sick and I am only trying to help Bella." He said as his topaz eyes locked onto mine. I smiled and then suddenly jumped out of bed startling Edward nearly knocking him to the floor. I ran down the hallway and threw the lid of the toilet open once again throwing up. Edward came in and held my hair out of my face and rubbed my back gently. I couldn't help but cry as I threw up. I must have seemed so unattractive.
When I finally finished, Edward flushed the toilet for me and handed me a glass of water to rinse my mouth. The tears still stayed on my face.
"Sssh. Why are you crying? Bella, love, its ok." He said as he knelt down beside me.
He wiped the tears away from my face as I brushed away my messy hair.
"Im sorry you have to put up with me being sick." I said as I bit my lip to keep it from trembling.
Edward only laughed, "Oh Bella. It's no trouble at all."
He kissed my forehead and then scooped me up off the floor and carried me down into our living room. I was put onto our couch as he grabbed a blanket and wrapped me up tightly.
"Ok love, I want you to get some sleep now ok? When you wake up I will still be here. I promise." He said as he pulled me into him and held me tightly.
I only nodded my head and lay against him and closed my eyes. He was an angel. One that I would never let go of.
