CH 4

I looked in my bag and realised I didn't recognise the sleepwear in it. I guessed Alice didn't approve of my dad's old t-shirt I wore with my holey sweats. I sighed and placed my stuff in a line, taking it all in. there was a pale blue camisole with matching shorts. They weren't too bad, apart from the lace around the waistband of the shorts. I slipped them on and threw m hair up into a messy high ponytail, checking for lasagne stains on my face, before leaving the bathroom. When I found the others outside on the giant trampoline, I laughed. Alice and Rosalie were wearing the same PJs as me except Alice's were pink and Rosalie's yellow. Jasper and Emmett were wrestling on the trampoline and the girls cheering them on, but there was no sign of Edward. This troubled me, but I couldn't think why. I pushed that thought to the farthest corner of my mind and settled for enjoying myself.

Emmett won the wrestling; which was hardly surprising considering his size, and we went inside for popcorn and drinks. Jasper set up the guitar hero and we played rounds; Jasper – Alice, Jasper – Rosalie, Jasper – Emmett, Jasper – Me, etc. it was hilarious! Emmett lost every game he played, poor guy, and Alice and Rosalie won every game they played. Jasper and I drew and I lost to everyone else, but only because I was crying with laughter, so I couldn't see the screen. Then, to my horror, Emmett whipped out the karaoke machine. He insisted that, because I laughed at him, I should go first. Everyone agreed and I gave in to their pleading. Emmett chose my song, which turned out to be Paramore's Hallelujah.

I sang the last word and the Cullens erupted. I blushed furiously, and Jasper ran out. I watched him go, and gasped when I saw Edward standing there, watching me and clapping quietly too. I ran to sit down next to Alice, who hugged me gently round the shoulders and passed me a bowl of marshmallows. We listened to everyone sing, but Edward who had left, and played Fluffy Bunnies. It was a laugh and a half! Jasper managed to fit 8 in his mouth, Alice and Rosalie 5, me 7 and Emmet . . . 12!! We felt sick for him, but they all spat out their marshmallows. I noticed I seemed to be the only one actually eating or drinking anything, but I thought nothing of it. I was sure they must just be eating and I didn't see it. We played Grand Theft Auto and I won every game. It was hilarious. Emmett wasn't happy about being beaten by a girl, but I said he could beat me any day and an arm wrestle which made him laugh. We were playing Dares, when I felt a wave of nausea hit me. I ran to the bathroom and was violently sick, lying next to the bath. Alice heard me and came running in. she asked if I was ok and if I needed her dad to check me over, but I said it was normal; I had been throwing up constantly since the Incident. She looked at me, unsure of something, but helped me to my feet and led me back through. I noticed that Edward had joined us, and I sat next to Jasper and Rosalie, who looked at me worriedly but said nothing. We continued to play Dares and when it was my turn, I dreaded the worst; it was Emmett daring me.

"Well, Belly, I dare you to truthfully tell us who you are attracted to! Mwah ha ha!" I blushed, I couldn't tell them, but I had to make something up.

"Erm, well this guy James from Phoenix I know is pretty good looking . . ." I trailed off and blushed. There were lots of "Ooohh"s and a "Get in there gurl!" from Jasper, but Edward was silent. His face was unreadable and this worried me. Did he see through my feeble attempt to lie? I hoped not. The game continued well into the night, until I started yawning. Alice commanded that everyone go to sleep and we all said our good nights. I was lying awake for hours, pretending to sleep, when I heard,

"Edward, what do you think? I mean, it's a bit of a coincidence, don't you think?"

"And Edward, she has definitely put on weight since it happened, I can tell these things you know."

I couldn't make out who was whispering what, but it was Edward's remark that hurt the most.

"Well, I think she doesn't know. She's stupid enough to think it's natural to be sick for months, so let's not say anything. She can find out herself. I mean, it won't be long now. She's months gone and we will mot mention a word to her, OK?" his voice was cold and hard, and I worried that he was talking about me. Well I knew they were because they were talking of sickness, which I was, and putting on weight, which I had, but I didn't understand what they meant by it all! I would have to ask Alice in the morning, if she didn't tell me first.
