Chapter 1 – Bella
The clock on my phone read 8:00am. My favorite song was playing through my headphones to my iPod as I stood up. One look at Edward's tormented expression sent a wave of guilt up my spine and I trembled. The Cullens, obviously oblivious to the air pockets we hit several times, were chatting. Rosalie pretended to yawn. Oh, please. I almost burst out laughing because I knew their secret. The Cullens were vampires; that was for sure, and they didn't even need sleep. That part I still didn't understand. Every now and then, as I chatted with Alice, Edward would steal a glance at me, sending another guilty shiver down my spine. My iPod flipped to "Tremble for my Beloved" and I flipped it immediately. I had forgotten I still had that on here! It reminded me too much of when Edward and I were together. What have I done? I thought to myself as "Eyes of Fire" began to play. Eight more hours and this torture fest of a plane ride would be over.
Jake was asleep in the seat beside me, snoring so loud that it had kept me awake the entire plane ride. I woke him gently, careful not to scare him. I felt the gentle, reassuring skip as the plane touched down. As we climbed off the plane, everyone began to divide up into groups. Jake and Emmett were discussing cell phones, Alice and Jasper were chatting away at 90 miles a minute, and Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle were discussing cars. That left Edward and me alone, trailing behind the group. As the realization of the full extent of how badly I'd hurt Edward set in, I couldn't even bare to look at him. I only had to live without him until I died. He had to live without me forever. That's when the grief I'd caused him finally fully sank in. All of the sudden, I started to feel sick. I was dizzy and I felt nauseous. Making it to the tree, I got violently sick. Then as I stood back up, I began to feel weightless, and then it felt like I was falling. Everything became black as I collapsed to the ground. I heard Jake and Edward call out "Bella! Bells, can you hear me?!" Then, everything was silent and darkness surrounded me.
It only remained dark for what felt like minutes. Then, slowly and gradually, I was thrown back to reality and everything became bright and loud. I heard a faint beeping, but I kept my eyes shut tight. I moved my hands, curling them into fists to see how they responded. "Bella? Bells?! Can you hear me? Edward, Jasper, Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Alice! She's awake!" Jake yelled. I opened my eyes and he helped me sit up slowly. As each person Jake called began to arrive, I was greeted with things like: "Ah, Bella! Good to have you back!" from Carlisle and "Welcome back to the land of the living, Bella. Well, living and undead!" from Emmett and "Feeling better?" which came from Edward. "J-Jake?" I tried to whisper. "What happened?" "You're sick, Bella. And you're over-stressed. You've been out for two days." The reply had come from Carlisle. "Jasper?" I called. "Yes, Bella? What is it?" he answered, sighing. I knew he could sense my stress and tension. "Could you please calm me down?" I asked sweetly. Instantly, my reply came as a swiftly moving wind of overpowering calmness. Ahh, that was much better. "Thank You, Jasper!" I called, finally relaxed. Now that my head was clear, I could think better. Carlisle explained to me that I had a twenty – four hour bug and that it was now gone. I would be fine. I climbed out of bed, completely ready to change into clean clothes, but surprisingly, Alice had dressed me in a cute summery dress. I stood, collected myself and proceeded to throw my arms around Jake's neck.
