Twilight and all of the characters in it do not belong to me, they all belong to Stephanie Meyer.

P.s. since I wrote this story the first time I have gotten a beta (Biddy429) and this chapter has been edited. That is why you mar have gotten a new chapter alert. Reading the edited chapter is no needed but I recommend it!

SICK BELLA

Chapter 1

Bella swan was sick.

The first thing that she thought of the moment she awoke that dull Thursday morning was "I feel sick!" But, Bella did not get sick, in fact the last time she had gotten even the slightest bit sick it was in Kindergarten and as far as she was concerned that didn't really count, it was just a sniffle.

FLASHBACK

"Bella?" Her mom whispered lovingly to her as she woke her from a deep sleep.

"What?" Bella moaned, still not opening her eyes as she really didn't want to wake up, she wanted to stay sleeping, she was so cozy and warm.

"Time to get up, honey" her mom said.

Bella groaned at her mother's words. She still had not opened her eyes but she could see the morning light through her closed eyelids. Instead, she turned over in her bed and pulled the covers over her head.

Her mom was getting impatient with her now, "Bella!" she almost shouted, "you really need to get up for school sweetie"

"Oooooh, do I have to mommy?" she asked using the most petulant little voice she could muster that early in the morning. To be honest, Bella wasn't really feeling all that great, and it was nothing to do with having to get out of bed.

Bella's mother came further into her room and proceeded to pull the covers from Bella, she stood back and looked at her daughter, concern crossing her features as she asked her "What's wrong honey, do you feel sick or something?"

Bella simply moaned.

Bella's mother was instantly on high alert and reached out her hand and placed it on Bella's forehead saying "How do you feel honey?"

"I feel hot mommy, can I stay in bed?"

"Oh I don't know honey, I mean you don't seem to have a temperature or…" and before her mom could finish her sentence Bella sneezed.

"Aaaaachoooooo"

"Okay honey, your staying home today, now get under those covers and back to sleep" and leaned over to kiss her daughter on the forehead.

"Okay mommy" replied Bella and did as she was told for a change!

FLASHBACK END

All of a sudden a loud booming voice brought Bella out of her reminiscing.

"Bella!" she heard her dad say from the other side of the door. "Bella are you awake, it's time for school, you're gonna be late if you don't move now".

"Oh dad, I don't feel too good" Bella replied with a sneeze.

"Fine" her dad said, she could hear the doubt in his voice "but you're going to school tomorrow, no matter what"

"Okay dad"

"Right then, I'm off to work now then, see you tonight?"

"Sure dad" she replied.

She could hear her dads footsteps fade away as he went down stairs and as soon as she heard the front door close and Charlie drive off in the cruiser, she jumped out of bed.

As she did so a few thoughts entered her head, one of them being that she still could not believe how her life had changed since she arrived in Forks. She could not believe how lucky she was to have met Edward, he was everything she could have dreamed of and more.

She still could not believe that he had fallen in love with her, she could not for the life of her fathom out why he had chosen her, especially as there were so many other, prettier girls for him to chose from. Sometimes it floored her when she thought how handsome he was and at times like that she almost forgot to breath, especially when she would see him. Yes, she could not believe her luck!

She found herself standing in the middle of her room, obviously lost in thought, and then she began to cough, it was a harsh cracking sound to her ears, and it hurt her chest too. Why on earth was she standing in the middle of her room for goodness sake, so she turned to go back to bed when she remembered, the window! She was going to the window to check if it was either sunny or dull. If it was sunny then all hopes of seeing Edward today were slim. If she wasn't sick then she would be going to school and if it was a sunny day then she knew she wouldn't see him at all, he didn't go to school on sunny days, none of them did. She hated the thought of spending an entire day at school without him nearby. Edward and his family preferred the weather to be dull, wet and cold, sounds strange but that's what they liked and she was not going to argue with that! Especially as there were a lot of wet and dull days in Forks!.

Just thinking of him made her heart beat faster, funny that she thought, it also makes me feel warm all over too!

She had reached the window by now, still feeling as though her heart was ready to jump out of her body, her body feeling really warm and her cough still racking her ribs and chest. She put her accelerated heart rate and her warm feeling down to the fact that Edward was due to pick her up for school today.

She pulled the shades open to reveal a gray sky, rain falling in pelts and doom and gloom all around. All the same she opened her window to let some of the cool air in.

Well at least the weather was on her side today, even if she wasn't sick she would still get to spend the day with him. Yes, she thought, for a change life is good! Then she realised that Edward would be here shortly and she looked a sight! She almost ran back to her bed and dived under the covers, as she went she had grabbed a tissue to blow her nose with. Once under the covers she realised that he would be downstairs soon waiting for her and here she was all tucked up in bed, feeling sick! Maybe she should get up and get dressed then go down and meet him. She thought also how angry her dad would be if he discovered she had intended going out today after saying she wasn't feeling well enough to go to school. Could she face the wrath of her father, she hated making him angry, he was a good dad and didn't deserve a disobedient daughter.

She lay back in her bed again thinking thoughts of Edward, all thoughts of getting dressed pushed aside for a moment but she still knew she should go and get dressed as he would be here in a minute or two. She lay listening to the rain pound off the window and the wind brush through the trees. The weather here in Forks was so different from what she was used to it really surprised her that she hadn't gotten sick before now. She was used to warm and humid temperatures, the sun shining every day not this dull and wet atmosphere.

Not that she didn't like the weather here in Forks, how could she not, if she hated it then she couldn't be with Edward and that was all that mattered. Her thoughts drifting as she fell into a deep and uncomfortable sleep…
