3. Shock (Bella)

I woke up and felt so weird when I didn't find Edward in the bed with me. I heard Anna laughing and heard Edward's voice. I sighed in relief for them bonding this way. I don't know how but Anna figured out whst Edward was the instant she saw him. I was more than thrilled that she didn't freak out. Of course she didn't disapprove me. She always supported me no matter what I did and what I chose. I washed my face and went downstairs and saw Anna making break fast like old days. She and Edward were acting like old buddies. That was typically Anna to get this friendly with someone so soon and Edward was bewitched by her like anyone else. I looked at her face covered here and there with flour and her hair tangled. Her eyes was a little red so I figured she was up all night.

" Hey sweetie, Anna is making French toast for breakfast and while working she told some stories about you two growing up together and the things u used to do together."

Edward said with a level of excitement that surprised me.

" I told him about that summer when we rode our bikes to the top of that hill which I told u we can catch ghosts and u totally bought it."

Anna said with a wicked grin. I turned red jn an instant and said

" I can't believe u. U haven't changed at all, did u?"

" Old habits die hard! Come sit sweetheart. I made ur favorite."

" Of course u did."

I was looking through the pictures Anna gave me of herself in the hospital. She was always a super genius and I always loved her. She took my car and went to gas station to fill the tank. She always knew how to find her way in everywhere. But I don't know why I felt so worried. My cell phone rang I picked before the second ring and I heard a man's voice telling me that he found Anna passed out in the car and took him to hospital and they recognized my car so they called me. My heart was pounding so hard. I called Edward and my dad and told them to come to the hospital. Edward was at my door after ten seconds. He held me in his arms towed me to his car.

"It's ok honey it's ok. She's fine I called Carlisle he's with her. Don't worry she'll be okay."

" I knew there's something wrong. I felt anxious and worried all day. Like I knew there was something going to happen."

We reached to the hospital. I opened the door and ran through emergency room. I saw her lying on that ugly bed her eyes closed and her face so pale. My heart stopped beating for a second till I heard her moan. I ran to her and hugged her.

"what happened to u? U know what have u put me through? Why did u faint behind the wheels? U know how dangerous it is? Are u sick? Why didn't u tell me anything? I ..."

"honey take a breath! I'm okay. I just fell asleep. U know me I'm an easy sleeper."

Carlisle came and said

"Hello Annabella. It's really nice to see u but I wished we didn't meet this way. I took a look at ur CT scans and Xrays."

Anna took in a deep breath and her face went pale. Carlisle continued with a worried face

" since u'r a trained surgeon u must have been familiar with ur case. U must know that u have a stage four pancreatic cancer. The tumor is seeding through ur abdomen and ur backbones. U must be in so much pain that even great dose of morphine can't be enough to handle that. How are u holding up?"

Charlie arrived and saw us. He hugged Anna and said

" are u alright honey? What get to u?"

She touched his arm and said

" I'm fine Charlie. U don't have to worry!"

I was totally shocked. Anna was so sick. She was in a great deal of pain but she said nothing to me.

"u have to be hospitalised Anna!"

Carlisle said. Charlie's face drained out of blood. He turned to Carlisle and said

"what? Why? She said she's fine. U think otherwise?"

Carlisle put his hand on Charlie's shoulder and said

" Anna is sick Charlie. She's in a very bad condition."

He turned to Anna and said

"Why didn't u go under therapies? U need constant care. U have to be in a place where u can be monitored properly ..."

"I'm not gonna be hospitalised anywhere. If I wanted constant care I would have stayed in my own hospital which is the best hospital in the states! I can take care of my self I don't need help."

"What do u mean Carlisle? What do you mean Anna is sick? What's going on?"

Charlie said in a horrified voice.

" I have so little time Charlie! That's what it is. I'm gonna die in a month or two."

"oh no! No no no no. This can't be happening. U've always been healthy. Is this another one of ur sick jokes?"

I cried. Anna took my hand and said

" Shhh! U are panicking honey. Don't worry! I won't go before ur wedding. I promise I will be there no matter what!"

So much happened so fast that I didn't have much time to gather my mind together. After me and Charlie begging for hours, Anna accepted to move into Cullen's house. Carlisle had every thing needed in their house. Everything seemed like a nightmare! I didn't have the faintest idea what she's been through. She lost so much weight, she could barely eat or sleep. I was so blind not to see these signs. They were right in front of me and I didn't see it.

"Nothings wrong with u Bella. Anna is very good at controlling herself. And by self I mean all of the things about herself. She can control every emotion every single action of hers. That's like a gift. No one could understand something is wrong with her."

Said Jasper. He sat on the outside stairs next to me and said

" U have a very amazing friend Bella. I can feel the pain she feels and boy is it too much! No human being could bear that much pain. No morphin can help her. She is quite fascinating. Emmett and Alice are already in love with her."

" of course we are. She is without doubt the cutest girl I've ever met. She's got such a wonderful soul and she's tall! I think I can't even reach to her torso."

I laughed at that comment. Anna would be thrilled if she heard Alice now. She thought the only thing that was good about her was her height. I thought that six feet was too tall for a girl but she thought otherwise.

"what's wrong? What do u see Alice?"

Said Jasper in a horrified voice. And then I saw Alice's face was blank and in a fraction of second Edward was there in front of us. His eyes widened and his nostrils flared.

" what's happening Alice? Why do u see this?"

Said Edward with a very terrified voice. Alice came back and looked at us.

" I donno Edward! Ever since I met Annabella these pictures are coming at me. Some decisions have to be made."

She looked at me and I knew exactly what she meant and what she saw. I was thinking about asking Carlisle to give Anna a chance. Edward looked at me with incredulous eyes.

" She's family Edward! I don't wanna lose her that way. If there is a way to save her..."

" Bells u know what u are talking about? I can't let this happen."

" she's up and she's crying. What's wrong?"

Alice said and got up immediately to check on her like a mother checking on a crying baby. I went in to see what's wrong. Anna was sitting on the stairs with Alice and Esme at her side. Oh God if only I could move that fast!

" Anna honey! What's wrong?"

She raised her head and looked at me. She looked like hell! It was like seeing her on her dad's funeral. My heart fell in my chest. I climbed the stairs to her.

" what happened? Do u want to talk or something?"

" I donno! I just don't know anything!"

I looked at Edward. He nodded and in a second the room was empty. I sat next to her and threw my arm around her shoulders.

" Talk to me sweetie, what's happened?"

She shook her head and started sobbing

" u remember Daniel? The guy I was dating back at home. He is a neurosurgeon. I loved him so much and he loved me but I dumped him because I didn't want him to get hurt watching me die. He just called and he said things that was really heart broken. I broke his heart so bad I said things I really didn't mean and it hurt him a lot! But I couldn't do this to him. I couldn't just let him watch me like this and suffer the pain. I thought if I acted like a bitch he would have go on sooner. I ... oh God I miss him so much. He was the love of my life."
