Angela's thoughts

Chapter One- Illness.

I gripped the bannister until my knuckles were white. I was so weak I feared falling. A sudden wash of dizziness caused me to collapse on to the upper landing. I had awoken this morning with a fever of a hundred and three. I went downstairs to call Edward but had to immediatly turn around to go back to bed. Edward...I need you...Please. I begged as I drifted into the darkness.

Edward Cullen anxiously tapped his fingers on the lunch table, careful not to split it in two.

"Edward, I'm sure theres nothing to worry about."Emmett said.

Edward growled lightly under his breath "She would have called me."

Edward looked around,again, hoping to catch a glimpse of his beloved Bella. Normally he wouldn't let her out of his sight but this morning they planned on taking seperate cars to school. Edward glared at the wall and tried to convince himself that nothing was wrong.

"Why don't you ask them."Alice said motioning to the table where Angela,Jess,Mike,Tyler and Lauren sat.

Edward looked over and locked eyes with Angela,who stared back in awe.

Oh my god, why is Edward Cullen staring at me. Maybe he knows that I know why Bella's not here. Oh god. Maybe I should tell him... But I promised Bella and Mother always says to break a promise is to break a law. Oh goodness.

"She is just babbling, I'm getting nothing."Edward said

"And the others?"Rosalie asked,trying to sound uninterested.

"Mike is thinking about work, Jess is thinking about Mike, and Tyler and Lauren are thinking about eachother. Nothing useful"

"Well atleast you know that Angela knows something."Jasper said "Go over there and ask her."

Edward shook his head and rose from the table. He walked swiftly to the table of babbling teenagers.

"Good afternoon,Angela, Jessica,Michael,Tyler,Lauren."Edward said greeting everyone at the table.

"Hi Edward."Angela said.

'Do any of you know where Bella is?"Edward asked locking eyes with Angela,who leaned away slightly.

"If we knew we wouldn't tell you!"Mike said, "Aren't you her warden anyhow? Why ask us?"

Angela glared at Mike. Jessica, Tyler and Lauren pretended that Edward wasn't there. Edward sighed and rested his hands on the edge of the table. He was so annoyed that he could have flipped the table with one flick of his finger.

"Please."Edward said. Then he looked at Angela "Angela,please. Do you know anything?"

"We talked last night." Angela caved "She said she wasn't feeling well. She figured it was nothing,just nervous about the Bio test today or that time of the month. She also told me not to say anything to you."

"Why?" Edward asked starting worry.

"She didn't want you to worry."Angela said

Before anyone could focus their eyes Edward was back at his table. His family stared at him.

"Well!?"Alica demanded.

"Angela said that Bella wasn't feeling well and that she thought it was nerves or that time of the month."Edward said, not taking his seat next to Alice.

"That time of the month has never stopped her before."Jasper pointed out.

Edward sighed,his eyes narrowed "Something's wrong. I'm going to find her, I'll leave the car."

I sat at the top of the stairs. My room was just a few feet away. I could see my bed from where I sat. I tried to push myself up but the samething that has happened the last 20 times happened again. All the blood rushed to my head, I swayed and almost threw up on myself, not before nearly tumbling down the stairs.

"Edward...Edward."I heard a whisper. "Edward...Ed..ward." There it was again. The voice sounded familiar. I caught a glance of my reflection in my bedroom mirror. My lips were moving. Thats when I realized that the whispering was me.

I shouldn't have found it shocking that when I felt like dying I was crying out for Edward. It wasn't shocking, my yearning for him at this very moment was astounding. I didn't just want Edward though. I wanted all the Cullens. Carlisle,Esme,Alice,Jasper,Emmett, even Rosalie. I was so cold, dripping in sweat. My head spun everytime I even thought of moving it. I softly cried as I felt myself falling over,to rest on the soft carpet hallway runner.

This was just fabulous. I was going to be stuck lying here for god knows how much longer, at least until Edward showed up. I stared at my reflection in my bedroom. I was so wet with sweat that I looked like I just stepped out of the shower. I was pale-paler then usual-yet my cheeks flushed crimson. My brown eyes were glassy and my mascara from the night before was dripping down my face in an even stream. I could see my body quivering,from the fever no doubt. I felt so cold but my body was scorching to the touch.

"Bella!." I heard a voice calling.

I recognized it immediatly "Edward,"I whispered "Help me."

Suddenly the door flew open,almost off it's hinges. Edward stood in the doorway, "Bella!". Then he was at my side.

"Bella, oh my, whats wrong,love?"Edward asked taking me in his arms.

"I feel hor...horri..ble."I whispered with all my strength.

"Wheres your truck keys?"Edward demanded.

I pointed to my dresser where the silver keys glistening in the small ray of light that shone through the window. In the blink of an eye the keys were in Edwards hands. "Come on," he said "Carlisle will know what to do."

The loud roar of my car enjin caused my head to pound to the point I feared my brain would ooze out my ears. I was lying across the frontseat with my head on Edward shoulder. We were traveling through the familiar woods to Edwards home.

"We're almost there. How are you doing?"Edward asked,his voice was panic striken.

"Hurry."I whispered taking as deep a breath as I could stand. This was all unbelievable. Last night I felt just ducky and then now I feel like I am dying.

I was suddenly snapped to attention by the passanger side door swinging open. Edward had stopped the truck and gotten out so quickly that I never even realized that the truck was no longer moving.

"Edward, what has happened?" I heard Esme cry as she ran to Edwards side. "Did you?...Bite her?"Esme asked.

"No,Mom. She's sick. Wheres Carlisle?"Edward asked.

"On his way back from the hospital. Come on get her inside."Esme said. I could feel her icy hand stroke my hair. It felt amazing yet horrible at the same time. Amazing because I could feel it break the heat and horrible because I already felt frozen. I suddenly felt something soft underneath my body. Leather?. I recognized this softness.I was on the Cullen's livingroom sofa.

"No," Esme said as Edward went to cover me with the blanket "Her body heat is high, we need to cool her down. I'll get some ice packs." Esme said retreating into the kitchen. Edward gently placed on icy hand on my forehead. Then he slipped up my shirt revelaing my bare stomach and placed an icy hand there. I shivered and wanted to cry out but I managed to contain myself.

"Don't worry, my love." Edward whispered "Carlisle is coming."
