There was a knock at the door around noon, and Charlie answered it, looking disapprovingly at the visitor.

"Good afternoon, Chief Swan," Edward greeted politely, a friendly smile on his face.

"Mornin'," Charlie greeted gruffly, smile missing.

"I'm here to see Bella," Edward informed him glancing in through the screen door. "My brothers and Carlisle and I just returned from our camping trip. I'm really anxious to see her."

"She's, uh, Bella's not feeling too well," Charlie told him, almost a little too happily.

Edward immediately grew concerned, his smile dropping to a frown.

"What's the matter?" he asked, voice dripping with anxiety. "Does she need Carlisle? I can call him, and he can make a house call."

He reached into his pocket for his cell phone, but Charlie stopped him by putting his hand up. He was trying not to laugh. He was thrilled to have a reason to turn Bella's boyfriend away. Edward was quiet for a minute and stared at Charlie intensely. Then his eyes grew wide in realization.

"Oh, I guess she doesn't need me," he answered quietly, trying not to reveal his knowing smile.

He turned around and walked away, much to Charlie's satisfaction. He closed the door with a large smile on his face, trying not to skip his way back to his newspaper and coffee.

Bella heard a knock at her window, and turned her head lazily towards the source, whimpering. The window snapped open and Edward crawled in. He smiled at her sympathetically.

"How are you, my Bella?" he asked calmly and lovingly, sitting down on the edge of her bed. Even a vampire like Edward knew not to mess with a girl in PMS mode. Especially Bella.

She looked at him miserably, and began crying out, "I hate my life!"

He stared at her, bewildered, and went to say something when she continued.

"I hate being a girl! Why did my dad have to have a girl? Huh? Why couldn't he have a boy like you? Unh..."

Edward slowly pet her hair back and began telling her to be quiet, or else Charlie would come in and find them. There was a roar coming from outside, indicating that Charlie had just left for work, and Edward allowed Bella to continue her ranting.

"I just want to take a knife and stab myself in the ovaries," she yelled, turning her head and crying into the pillow. "And I hate you, too!"

Edward stared at her, incredulously. "Why are you angry with me?"

"Because you're a vampire!" she exclaimed, peeking out from her pillow, fire in her eyes. "If you were a girl, this would never happen to you! Vampires are frozen forever! They wouldn't be in pain...like me!"

She squeaked the last part and began sobbing into Edward's chest, who was still brushing down her disheveled hair and kissing her head.

"And now you're here, seeing me like this," she continued through her sobs, grabbing Edward's now wet shirt and tugging on it, bringing his head close to her neck. "Bite me! Just bite me now! Please!"

Edward grimaced. He hated when Bella asked him to turn her into a vampire, and seeing her like this made the situation ten times worse.

"You are in an emotional frenzy right now," he told her calmly, and immediately wished he hadn't, for she looked up at him with murder in her eyes. "You are not thinking straight. This will all blow over in a few days. For now, just try to relax."

Everything he said meant nothing to her. She was stuck at, "emotional frenzy." Bella slowly crawled away from him to the opposite side of her bed.

"Emotional frenzy?" she growled angrily at him, an almost wild look in her eyes. "Emotional frenzy? !"

Edward figured that this was as good a time as any to leave her. He felt that anything he said would be turned around and made into something bigger than it really was. He slowly stood up and began exiting out the window that he had entered from. Then she began calling out to him pitifully.

"Don't leave," she cried, her face growing soft. "I, I want you here. I'm sorry..."

Her voice drifted off and she began crying again. Edward returned to her side almost immediately.

"Besides, my love," Edward began, tilting her chin up so that he could look into her pained, watery eyes. "When you turn into a vampire, your body is frozen forever. It's possible that you could just keep bleeding forever."

He knew it was a lie, but he knew that Bella was not quite herself this morning, and was hoping that it would prevent her from asking again.

Bella looked at him again, coldly. She demanded that he go on a chocolate and Midol run. He wished he had gone home.

A/N: DISCLAIMERS: I do not own Midol. Well, I do in fact OWN it, in a literal sense, but in a figurative sense, someone invented and that someone was not me. Unfortunately.

Oh, I also do not own Wal-Mart.

So Edward Cullen made an appearance. Cheers for all you Edward fans, and Jacob fans, I apologize. I myself am a Jacob fan. Don't worry, you will see our wonderfully bronzed and buff friend soon enough.

Day 4: Swimming in La Push
Bella's school friends want to take her swimming. Cue laugh track.
