Bella's POV
I
don't know how long it had been but it seemed like I was sleeping
forever! From the light that was coming from outside I could tell
that today was going to be a very rainy and grey day. My whole body
ached and I don't know why. I had such a horrid dream, it was about
Edward and his family leaving me. I laughed to myself and got up and
turned to kiss Edward on the cheek. To my surprise he wasn't there.
Heck, I wasn't even in my room! "CHARLIE" I shouted, and at
that moment I regretted it. My voice was hoarse and sounded like I
choked on something. Nausea swept over me and
I realised it
wasn't a dream. Charlie obviously heard me attempt to speak and
came into the room the next instant. "What happened?" I said
really quiet so my voice wouldn't crack. Didn't help. My voice
cracked up anyways. "Shh Bella don't talk. You had a pretty rough
night, how are you feeling?" I repeated myself "What happened,
where are the Cullen's" Charlie looked upset and was juggling the
thought of explaining now. "Well Bella, everyone in town know that
the Cullen's were leaving. Carlisle has found a better job but no
one knows where exactly. When I heard the news I cam rush home to
check on you a realised you weren't in the house, but your car was
out from. So I called the station and sent out a search for you. I
thought that Edward had taken you with them." He said that with
anger in his voice and for a second I thought he sounded scared. I
wish I thought to myself. After a few
moments and I didn't reply he asked "are you okay?" NO
I thought to myself "Yeah I'm fine" I whispered. Charlie
noticed the uncertainty in my voice and decided to push on the
subject. "so, what did that Cullen boy say to you?"
"I don't want to talk about it"
"Oh okay, well the doctor will be here soon"
"What doctor?" I realised I sounded hopeful and Charlie noticed
"Doctor Yung" he said with wary eyes
I didn't reply. There was then a rasp knock on the door that startled me. Charlie went to get it. I laid there soaking in the memory from last night. I suddenly felt like I was going to cry, but I held it in. I heard Charlie's voice and another mans voice. Then they walked in. It was doctor yung. He looked nothing like Carlisle. He was fat short and ugly with lots of facial hair. I looked away from them in the doorway.
"Hello Ms.Swan"
I nodded
"Okay let's do a check up"
He checked my eyes, ears, nose, mouth and my pulse. He has asked me to take breaths in and out. It amazed me by how it hurt to breath and how hard it was. I realised I wasn't feeling to well and my head hurt a lot. Then he asked some questions.
"Do you feel sick?"
I nodded again
"Where do you feel sick?"
"My head hurts, my throat hurts, and it feels like I'm going to throw up" I said hoarsely
He backed up a bit at my last words.
"Were you in the rain for a long time yesterday?"
I nodded
"How long?"
"6 hours"
His eyes widened in shock and he shook his head from side to side
"That's not good" He looked suddenly very troubled "I think you might be very sick ms.swan"
"How sick?" Charlie butted in and he sounded very alert
"Well, from her being out so long in the rain and the weather conditions last night were not pretty. She might be so sick that she has to stay in the hospital."
Charlie's mouth hung wide open and I was alarmed
"No, I don't want to go" I said trying to make my voice loud and clear.
"You have no choice, it may be very serious. You need to get a full check up"
He then put his hand on my forehead and jerked it away suddenly
"My god! You're burning up!" With that he took out his cell phone and punched in numbers with his chubby fingers. "Hello? We need to make a room clear for a Bella swan. Yes. Thank you." And snapped his phone shut. "Chief swan? May you please help your daughter into her car? We must rush her into the hospital right away" At once Charlie lifted me up into his arms and walked cautiously towards the door. I couldn't tell what was happening because at that moment I felt a rush go over me and I felt very weak and light headed.
I must have passed out in the car because when I woke up I was in a hospital bed. I got up slowly and saw Charlie in the chair next to me.
"Bella! You're awake! How are you feeling?"
"Fine" I lied. I was feeling horrible and my head ached even more
Charlie knew I was lying because I was a terrible liar. "Do you feel like your going to throw up" He said uneasy and leaned back a little.
"No. Im fine"
Charlie frowned "What's wrong dad?" my voice was starting to get worse and it was getting harder to speak.
"Its nothing Bella, it's just that, you never smile anymore and you never blush anymore and you have gotten paler, much much paler. Its like you look almost dead" he whispered very quietly. I just looked at him for a while and then laid down. Charlie had then got up from his chair and walked towards the door and turned to me "Well Bells, I got to get to work. Ill come back right after work. Almost the whole town knows that you're in the hospital so don't be surprised if you get a few visits. Hopefully when I come back they will know how sick you are" He smiled weakly and walked out the door.
I thought about Charlie's words over and over again in my head you look almost dead I wished I was. I have nothing else to live for anymore. I felt that my pillow was damp and realised I had been crying.
