Beware the Sun

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or its characters or anything else I missed.

"Isabella Swan, that is the absolute LAST time that you ignore my warnings!" My angel glared at me then changed his expression to one of worry. "Do you want me to go get more of that lotion?"

"No," I grumbled looking away, "there are already five coats and any more is not going to help."

Mike had invited me to the beach again with Jessica and the others and because of 1) the location, 2) the sun, and 3) absolute loathing of Mike, Edward had stayed home. He had warned me that the sun was hot and I needed sunscreen. My reply? We're in Forks… I'll never burn. Famous last words. Not only was I as red as a tomato, my burns, well, burned.

Flashback to my arrival back home

I inched through the door. So far so good, just the pain from walking. I slowly made my way to the stairs hoping Charlie had burn lotion, yet again, in Forks? Riiiiight. Sadly I was proven wrong once again when I found a barely used bottle under the sink. Charlie must have bought it when I was younger and just as inclined to hurt myself in the most impossible ways.

I had just managed to get into my room when my new cell phone rang. I reached over and picked it up. "Hello?" I asked already knowing who it was.

"Hello Bella," Edward replied, "how was your day in the sun?"

"Fine" I lied a little too quickly, he must have noticed the pain in my voice.

"What did you do? Never mind, don't move I'll be there in 5 minutes." He hung up. He lied; he was at my window and in my room in 4 minutes. He took one look at my burn (I was still in my swimsuit and didn't even want to attempt to remove it) and I saw the anger build up in his eyes. "What did I say before you left?" I winced. He noticed and reached over to inspect the damage.

I flinched away. "Don't touch it, it burns." I felt like an idiot for stating the obvious but I wasn't letting anyone near me.

He sighed, "Bella just let me see it, and anyway how do you plan to get the lotion on your back? Do you need me to call Alice now or let you attempt to do it by yourself and then call her?" I was still in pain but the last part helped me cheer up a bit.

"Well…" I sighed, "We could just forget about Alice and you could do it." I was in too much pain to argue and I wanted the lotion on NOW. He nodded and helped me over to my bed. I quickly did my legs, arms, face and front then handed the bottle to Edward. He gently put a thick coat of the lotion on my back. I don't know if it was the lotion or his cold hands but my pain started to lessen a bit (and I mean a very little bit) It hurt and I could tell Edward hated to cause me pain but it had to be done. He finished and wiped his hands on his pants. I was still sore. He hummed my lullaby and stroked my face with his wonderful cold hands. After a while we did the whole process over again. All the while I continued to moan in pain.

End of Flashback

So here we were. This whole thing wasn't helping my 'Change Bella' campaign, what with the whole burning fire for 3 days and here I was crying over a sun burn. Man this sucked.

A/N: OK this is my first Fan Fiction EVER so please be nice and review. I probably won't carry on with this… I meant it as a one-shot, but I'll most likely start on another story that is longer. I may add more one-shots to this (post?) if I feel like it.
