In sickness and in health

CHAPTER 1: Alice's losing sight

"UGRH!" I woke to the warmth that once again alerted me to the absence of Edward. He left to go hunting Friday morning, it is now Saturday. I was told that they would be back on Monday morning, meaning 3 whole days without him.

As I sit up in my bed, I'm suddenly overcome with another wave of dizziness. It's been happening more frequently lately, and as I wait for it to pass I can't help but think that something isn't quite right. Over the past two weeks I've noticed that I just feel so tired all the time, which makes no sense because what with Alice doing all of the wedding planning I haven't physically had anything to do, that is apart from to get up and deal with my daily 'human' needs .

Hmmm... maybe it's just pre-wedding nerves, I can't really think of any other reason for it. I'm brought out of my inner monologue by Alice as she gracefully sweeps into my room through my window.

"Bella are you alright?Are you hurt?How are you feeling?" ! Alice asks me hurriedly. Wait what? I'm sure she forgets I'm human sometimes, she speaks so damn fast.

"Alice slow down. I'm ok, why? What did you see? " now I'm rambling. Please don't let anything bad be happening, not again.

"That's just it Bella, I haven't seen anything! Every time I try to look it's just… fuzzy, like a bad reception."

"Oh" I let out a sigh of relief. I could tell however that Alice wasn't happy about this. I didn't need Jasper to see that.

"Well maybe someone from La Push decided to visit me, like Seth or maybe Jacob." I couldn't help the hope that spread through me at the thought of my best friend, hoping that he would come back.

"I don't' know Bella whenever you visit the wolves you future disappears altogether, this is almost as if you're there but at the same time your not." Alice throws her hands into the air trying to vent out her frustration.

"It's like your changing, which obviously you're not, I just can't make it out." as Alice continued to vent, I couldn't help but wonder if it was related to my sudden dizzy spells and possibly the constant tiredness.

"I don't know Alice maybe you're putting too much pressure on yourself, just calm down ok. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about so don't worry, and please whatever you do don't let Edward know. We both know how he gets, Please?" I beg

"I don't kn-"I cut her off, there was no way I would be granted my terms of the deal if Edward knew

"Please! I will let you play Bella Barbie with me for a whole month, I will even let you take me shopping whenever you want. Please Alice?" As I said the words I could help but regret them. I mean what have I done? why did I have to open my stupid mouth?

"YAY! Bella we are going to have SO MUCH FUN! I promise to block Edward from my mind, he won't hear a thing from me." Thank god for that. I just hope Alice takes it easy on me.

"Thank you, so was there anything else you needed? I still have some packing to do and there is only a week left till the wedding" I asked, willing there not to be so I could go back to sleep.

"Umm… no I just wanted to remind you that the rehearsal is in a three days"

"Oh ok" I turned around and noticed that as quickly as Alice had appeared, she had gone, I was thankful of that. I sat back on my bed and threw my hands up in frustration.

"ARGH!" Why am I so damn tired? I haven't even done anything. As I lay back in my bed, waiting for sleep to take me, I can't help but think back to what Alice had said about me changing. What could possibly be changing? Maybe I should see Carlisle, maybe I'm coming down with something. God I hope not. No I will wait for it to pass, there is no way I'm worrying Edward over this especially when it could just be nerves.

I wake with a start and run to the toilet, emptying the contents of my not so full stomach. If ever there was a time I was thankful that Edward was away it was now, thankfully he is still hunting, he's been gone for two days now and he should be back tomorrow. I stand up and flush the toilet and grab my toothbrush to get rid of the horrible aftertaste left in my mouth, once finished I slowly head back to my room and glance at my clock, noticing that it is already 5 o'clock . I stumbled back to my bed and lay there waiting for sleep to take me. Try as I might I just couldn't get comfortable, still nothing came, so once again I got out of bed. This time I made my way over to my CD player and press play. As the familiar chords of my lullaby stream across my room, I instantly feel myself relax. I crawl back into bed, where I am consumed with dreams of Edward.

I'm only asleep for what feels like minutes when I sense Edward is back in the room with me. I turn to face him trying as stealthily as I can, and drag my eyes across what can only be called sweet heaven. Of course Edward with his super enhanced senses catches me, this causes my cheeks to heat up as I have been caught oogling my fiancé.

"Good morning love" he graces me with that velvet voice and I sigh

"M-morning" I stutter back, causing him to chuckle.

"Why are you up so early?"

"Well I couldn't sleep, so I just put the CD you made for me on hoping that it would help."

"Ah I see well I could always hum to you if you would prefer"

"YES …" I almost shout at him "um yes please, I would like that very much." Of course this reaction causes another round of chuckling aimed at me. As he slides onto the bed, I can't help but relax and think that I am home as I begin to drift off into a delectable sleep.
