Sugar rush part 3
Previously
I got out my phone and dialed Mike's number. I never thought that I would ever need to use this.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Mike. It's Bella."
"Oh, hi, Bella! Do you want to go out tonight?"
"Sorry, I can't. I'm stuck in hospital again."
"Then why are you calling me?" He sounded irritated.
"Mike, I am asking you, as a friend, to go out to the nearest store and buy me a bar of Hershey's."
"Why? Why don't you ask Edward?"
"Because his dad is a doctor and the hospital isn't feeding me properly. I mean, there's no sugar. The food here is so unhealthy." Mike grumbled at the other end of the line.
"Mike, if you do this for me, then I'll. . ." I couldn't believe I was about to say this ". . . I'll be your girlfriend."
"Don't you love Edward?"
"Mike, if you really love me, then you'll do this for me." Mike paused at the end of the line as he thought for a minute.
"Okay, I'll do it."
"Love you, Mike!"
"See you later."
After he hung up I relaxed, even though I knew I'd have to do a lot of explaining later.
I wriggled in my bed, impatient. Edward and Carlisle were still phoning up the local shops to tell them not to give me any sweets. They were so unfair. Then I realised something. I got out my phone and dialed Mike's number again.
"Bella, what is it?" Mike asked impatiently.
"Mike, I phoned to warn you."
"About what?"
"Don't visit me until tomorrow after midday."
"Why?"
"Just trust me." I hung up, not giving him the chance to ask another question.
I knew that Edward was planning to go hunting again tomorrow, because his eyes were still too dark, and that's when I planned Mike to bring me the chocolate. Then Edward couldn't stop me. Mwahahahahaha. Why did I keep saying that? Must be the sugar. Mmmm. . . sugar. I started drooling.
The next day . . .
I woke up to find Edward stroking my hair. I sat up and he kissed me. He looked ashamed of himself for some reason.
"You have to go?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm sorry. Although I could always wait until tomorrow . . ." he started.
"No, no, you have to go. I don't want you to be in pain", I tried to make my voice pleading so I could work it to my advantage. He sighed and kissed me again.
"If that's what you want. I'm leaving at 11:30." I nodded and was secretly rejoycing inside. Mike wouldn't get in trouble - translation - I would still get my bar of Hershey's.
********************************************
Edward left ten minutes late, and I began to get worried that he would run into Mike. But he seemed unsuspicious as he kissed me one last time and left the ward with Carlisle.
I waited impatiently for Mike to come. The minutes tolled slowly past. 11:45. 12:00. 12:30. God, what was Mike doing. Was he ditching me? I got my phone out and was about to phone Eric when Mike rushed through the doors of the ward.
"Mike!" I smiled, relieved that he hadn't chose Jessica over me and my bar of chocolate.
"Bella!" He smiled when he saw me and stared at the heart monitors as he came and sat by my bed.
"Don't worry, it always looks worse that it is. There isn't even a scratch on me." Mike looked like he was deliberating. "So, did you get me that bar of Hershey's?" I tried to distract him.
"Of course", he fished into the back pocket of his jeans and gave the bar to me. Eww. I wished he hadn't kept it there.
"Um, thanks", I muttered and bit off a piece.
"Um, Bella", Mike asked. "Can I have some. I mean, that cost nearly five quid."
"Are you kidding? I haven't had any sugar for nearly a week! And I've bitten into it."
"We could take turns", he suggested. I hoped he wasn't trying to flirt with me. He was rubbish (and gross).
"Um, thanks but no thanks."
Mike stared at me as I finished the bar. I wondered if he was trying to make me feel bad for not sharing with him. It wasn't working. It was nearly 1:00 when I noticed the time.
"You should go", I told Mike. He looked hurt so I changed my sentence. "Edward will be back soon."
"Oh, okay." Mike stood up and handed me another bar of Hershey's.
"You bought me two?" Mike shrugged. "Thanks, Mike!"
"Call me again when you come out of hospital. Then we can go out."
"Sure", I answered, silently vomiting inside. Now I was grateful that I would be in hospital for a few more months. Maybe Mike would forget our date. Mike smiled at me before walking out of the ward.
I was halfway through the second bar when I saw Edward and Carlisle walk into Carlisle's office. Luckily, they hadn't seen me eating. I quickly put the chocolate bar under the pile of Jacob's clothes that I had got changed out of.
I had just hidden the chocolate when Edward walked down the ward to my bed. He took my hand and sat down.
"How are you, love?" he asked me.
"I feel fine", I answered automatically. Edward froze and stood up. He looked around my bed. "What is it?" I asked. Edward took Jacob's clothes and found the chocolate bar that I had hidden. His face transformed into a mask of pure hate.
"That dog!" he fumed and turned around and left the ward. Oh no. Jacob was going to be in so much trouble. Ouch.
Edward's Point of View
I broke through the hospital doors and broke the remains of the chocolate bar in my hands. That dog was going to DIE.
Please rewiew. It's probably not the best chapter, but if you review I can improve in my next chapter. Whar do you want to happen?
