So , this is my first story and PLEASE don't be bad at me :D

And let me know if you think something is missing here I will really appreciate that.

The story is basically about Edward/Bella in 1918 before and after the Spanish Influenza.

I chose the title ''so contagious'' because:

I love the song.

I want to dedicate this fanfic to my friends in YouTube

Especially to Francis:D

I am planning that this just have 8 or 10 chapters but If you like it'll have more.

While writing this I will choose one song for every one of my chapters:D

So here it goes:

''I'm strong…but I break''

Song : My skin by Natalie Merchant

New York , March 1918

''Bella,'' I heard someone called ''Bella wake up '' I recognized that was my mom, but I wanted to stay sleeping so I didn't answer… at first.

''Isabella get out of that bet now!'' For a moment I thought of stay sleeping but then I realized that I wouldn't be able to sleep with my mom in my room. So I got up and said 'Alright mom I am already awake '' I frowned at her and then asked '' What do you need mother?''

My mom stared at me for a moment and then said '' I need to talk to you''. Oh crap, last time she'd said that I had to meet Mike Newton.

''What is it?'' I asked praying in my mind for not to meet another guy like Mike, not to meet someone arrogant.

She took a deep breath, walked by my side and gave me a hug and said '' Do you remember when Mrs. McDonald told us that the army is conscripting young ladies for sending them to help as nurses…?''.

''Yes'' I answer with a bad feeling.

''Well… The army is arriving tomorrow night'' This was not happening. ''And as now you are older than the last time …they will probably want to take you with them, ''

Oh my god. '' And today your going to Chicago, with Charlie''. That was not a question.

As soon as my mother told me that I have to leave today, I felt tears filled my eyes.

I didn't want to let my mom by herself .Besides last time I've seen Charlie I was 15 and now I am17. But I knew that I couldn't do anything. I didn't have a choice.

''Okay '' I said.
