~Bella~
After Alice left, Charlie tried to get me to eat. I refused. Not just because I didn't want anything he offered, but because I really was beginning to feel bad. My head felt like someone stomped on it with ten inch heels. My throat felt like it was on fire. And just the smell of food made me feel like throwing up.
I creeped up to my room and climbed back into bed. Alice had put her cell phone right by my pillow. I was happy she did because I don't think I had the energy to get back up and look for it.
I picked up the phone and just looked at it for a second. I thought about calling Edward, but Charlie might hear my voice and come up here. So I opted for texting.
I scrolled through Alice's contacts until I found his number.
How much trouble are you in? ~B
Not thirty seconds later I got a reply.
Not alot, but I'm worried about you ~E
I might be coming down with a cold, but other than that I'm good ~B
I'm so sorry Bella. This is all my fault ~E
I thought about his response for a second. I didn't blame Edward for what happened. But now that I thought about it, I was upset he didn't even attempted to stop Charlie from separating us.
Are you there? I miss u ~E
Yes. I'm here ~B
I can't come over tonight. Charlie called Carlisle and gave him an ear full for not raising me to be a responsible gentleman, who respects women ~E
But Charlie knows you were adopted. I can't believe he really said that! ~B
It's fine ~E
I'm sorry. I can't believe this happened. I can't stand being away from you ~B
Me either ~E
Jessica snitched on us ~B
How do you know? ~E
Charlie told me who called him to tell that we weren't in school ~B
That bitch ~E
I giggled in response which made my throat ache even more. I'm kind of tired now. I'll txt you later ~B
Okay. Goodnight Bella. I hope you have spectacular dreams about me ~E
LOL ~B
I put Alice's phone down and snuggled up with my pillow. I had the covers wrapped tightly around me, but I was still cold. I should have taken a shower as soon as I had gotten home...
When Alice came back she was surprised to find me still awake. But just barely. I was so use to sleeping against Edward's strong chest, that I was having difficulty falling asleep. Alice refused to get any where near me in fear of making me any colder. After laying in the in between of falling asleep and staying awake, I finally fell asleep, but didn't dream about Edward...
"Bella. I can't believe you are going back to him like puppy. He left you. Don't you remember?" Jacob pleaded.
"I'm sorry Jake. I love him. I always have" I cried tears streaming down my cheeks.
"No you don't love him Bella. You're lying to yourself" he said as he began to walk towards me. The look on his face wasn't the Jacob I loved. This wasn't my Jacob. This was jealous, and raw emotioned Jake. "You shouldn't waste your tears over him. I love you Bella. You can still choose me."
"No" I whispered taking a step back.
"Yes, Bella. I know you love me" Jake said with a smirk. He brushed a strand of hair out of my face.
"Cut it out Jake" I hissed trying to hide my fear.
"Why should I? Your stupid bloodsucker can't protect you here. You're on my res now" he said as he pinned me against a tree. I thrashed and kicked against him, trying to fight him off. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above our head. He began to kiss his way down my neck, popping open the buttons to my sweater, exposing my breast to him. "Damn Bella. You're so flat chested. I wonder if your bloodsucker is satisfied with these?"
"Stop Jacob. Please!" I screamed. He pressed himself harder against me. Grinding his erection against my stomach. I felt sick, I knew what was going to happen until...
"Jacob, what are you doing?" I heard Sam Uleys voice asked in shock. Jacob let go of me. Before anyone one of then could say anything, I ran...
Have you ever had one of those dreams that wake you up. Your heart is racing and you have a cold sweat covering you. Well, that's what this was. It was right after Edward came back, I had gone to La Push to try and talk to Jacob. He wouldn't listened to anything I had to say. Apparently I had crossed the line choosing Edward over him. We both knew that was going to happen in the end.
Jacob became jealous- which isn't unusual for him- and acted out on it. I don't know what would have happened that day if Sam hadn't come around looking for Jacob. I would probably be a completely different person today.
And since Jacob's comment I have always been self conscious about myself now. I've never told Edward this.
I lay there holding my pillow, trying to get my breathing back to normal. The clock said six thirty-two a.m. Alice had already left, and I'm sure Charlie would be coming up any moment to wake me up. I tried to sit up, but was to dizzy. So I just layed there until someone came along and found me.
About five minutes later Charlie came in to wake me. He was surprised to find me already awake.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked as he walked in.
"No" I was just able to croak.
"Geez Bells. You sound horrible" he said coming to put the back of his hand on my forehead. "And it feels like you maybe running a fever."
"I'm fine. Really" I said as I attempted to sit up. I failed. I was to dizzy at the moment, so I fell back against my pillow.
"No you're not" Charlie said sounding concerned. "I should stay here with you."
"No!" I said quickly. "Really, I'll be okay. I just had some early morning vertigo. I can sit up now." I pushed the covers off of myself and sat up. Everything began to spin. My stomach began to churn, and I knew I was going to throw up. And I did. All over Charlie's feet.
I'm not sure what I threw up because I hadn't eaten since around eleven yesterday. But I threw up twice in the few seconds it took Charlie to get a trash can to put at the side of my bed.
"What did you eat Bells?" Charlie said as he started to clean up the mess I made. I noticed he had changed his pants in these few seconds.
"Nothing" I mumbled hiding myself under the covers.
"This smells like old pizza. Did you and Edward go eat before you came home or somethin'?"
"No" I groaned. My head throbbed when ever I spoke.
"Well, when was the last time you ate" he asked sitting up.
"At, lunch...yesterday."
"Well since you threw up the only nutrition you've had in the past nineteen hours. You might want to eat something. Or at least try to drink some Gatorade" he suggested. I didn't answer. Charlie pulled the covers from over my head. "Bella, you are burning up. You should take these covers off."
"But I'm freezing" I snapped. We exchanged awkward looks.
"Do I need to call a doctor?" he asked.
"No dad" I whined. "I'll be fine-" I said. Then I threw up again.
Charlie ended up calling Carlisle. I'm was glad that Forks was such a small town now. Carlisle was the only doctor who would do house calls. I couldn't believe I didn't remember that.
As Charlie went downstairs to make breakfast and wait for Carlisle, I re wrapped the covers around myself. I layed in my bed and starred at the ceiling. I listened for the sound of gravel crackling under the tires of a car. Not long afterward, I heard it.
I could make out the quiet murmur of Charlie and Carlisle talking. I didn't hear the voice I wanted to hear the most though. The thumping of Charlie coming up the stairs made my headache start again. Carlisle would never do that. He was so graceful in what ever he did. I heard a soft knock on my door.
"Come in" I called in a raspy voice.
"Good morning Bella" Carlisle said as he stepped in with Charlie right behind him. I managed a small smile. "How are we feeling this morning?"
"Like shit" I answered honestly.
Carlisle sat down on the edge of my bed and chuckled before pulled out a thermometer out of his doctors bag. He stuck it under my tongue before putting his stethoscope in his ears a placing it on my chest. "Your vitals seem good" he said after he check everything. He took the thermometer from under my tongues and wrote it down in my paperwork. "One hundred and one. What happened to you Bella?"
"I got stuck in the rain" I admitted meekly.
"That's what Edward said" Carlisle said continuing to write things down.
"This is all his fault" Charlie grumbled.
"This is my own fault dad" I snapped.
"Do you have any aches or pain. Sore throat, chest, or throwing up?" Carlisle asked cutting our argument short.
"Yes. A killer headache, and my stomach can't hold anything down."
Carlisle wrote this down before asking "When was the last time you ate?"
"At lunch yesterday."
"Have you tried to eat anything today?"
"No. Just the smell of food makes me feel sick" I answered.
"You have to at least drink something. You lost alot of fluids" Carlisle tried to persuade me.
"No" I said stubbornly.
"Come on Bella. He is trying to help you get better" Charlie said from his place on the wall.
"I'll eat something if Edward feeds it to me" I said sitting up. I was finally able to with out getting dizzy. Carlisle and Charlie exchanged glances.
"Over my dead body Bella" Charlie said angrily.
"Fine. Don't expect me to eat anything" I said crossing my arms across my chest.
"Bella be reasonable. You seem to have a mild case of the stomach flu. Fluids will make your recovery a whole lot faster." Carlisle said taking my hand.
"Nope" I said popping the P.
"Just leave her Carlisle. Thank you for your help" Charlie said with an annoyed look on his face. I gave him one write back.
"Yes, well thank you" Carlisle said letting go of my hand, and standing up to leave. "It was nice to see you again Bella" he said before he walked out the door. Charlie followed after him.
Once I was sure Charlie was gone, I opened the hand Carlisle had held. At first I glance it would just look like concerned gesture. But as he slipped the note into my hand I realized how Carlisle was only acting off of me. He gave me a quick sly smile before getting back into his doctor act.
I opened the crumpled piece of paper after they both had gone. It read: 15 minutes. What the hell did that mean? Fifteen minutes. I sat there and looked at the piece of paper before crumbling it back up and throwing it on the floor. I listened hard, and heard the voice of Charlie. He sounded a bit ticked.
"Yes I do think that this is the best idea" Charlie grumbled.
"Edward and Bella are teenagers Charlie. This type of stuff is bound to happen with every teenage couple" Carlisle said.
"But not with my daughter. She is up stairs sick because of your boy Dr. Cullen."
"Getting caught in the rain does not give you the stomach flu Charlie. She must have gotten to cold afterwards. That was her responsibility not Edward's."
"So now this is her fault" Charlie asked in disgust.
"No. It was both of their faults for skipping. You really shouldn't have acted so extreme towards Edward in particular. He wants to say sorry to you for some reason" Carlisle said in a sharp tone.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Charlie asked in shock.
"Edward doesn't lie to me Charlie. He told me where they were and what happened to them before you even called. But I don't think threatening my youngest sons life was the best way to handle the situation. Do you Chief?" Carlisle said in an angry tone.
I could imagine Charlie standing there shocked. I'm assuming that's what happened because I heard a door slam, and a car drive away. 'Serves him right' I thought to myself.
I heard the phone ring, then him shuffling around downstairs before coming upstairs again. "I got to go down to the station for a little while. Do you think you will be okay till I'm back?" he asked.
"Yes" I said trying to sound like I didn't care. Inside my organs were jumping for joy.
"Okay. I'll be back a little after three. Call me if you need anything" he called as he stomped down the stairs. I watched his cruiser drive down the driveway. As soon as it was out of sight my window opened.
I turned around, scared out of my mind. "Edward" I gasped in shock.
"Bella..." he said coming to my side and pulling me into a tight hug. I wrapped my arms tightly around him. The coolness of his skin felt magnificent against my over heated body. "You're burning up, love" he said pulling back to place his hand on my forehead.
"I know. At first I was freezing, but now I can't cool off for anything."
"I think I can fix that" he said pulling me closer to his chest. I sighed in contentment. I could already feel my fever going down. Edward scooped me up and walked us over to the bed. Then he let me rest my head against his chest. His steady breathing was very relaxing. It was almost the perfect atmosphere... that is until my stomach growled. LOAD.
Edward chuckled beside me, and my face turned bright red. "When was the last time you ate, love?"
"Yesterday at lunch" I said hiding my very red face in his chest.
Edward began to sit up and I reluctantly had to too. "You have eaten? Do you want me to make you something?" he asked. I could see the concern oozing from his eyes. Now that I though about it, I was a bit hunger. But not for food.
I grabbed the front of Edward's shirt and pulled his lips to mine. I felt him tense before relaxing against me.
~Edward~
'What the hell am I doing? My poor Bella is sick, and here I am grinding my dick against her thigh. I am truly a monster!'
"Bella..." I groaned. "We can't do this."
"Why not" she pouted.
"Because you're sick, and you are hungry."
"I'm not hungry" she argued. That is until her stomach growled again.
I chuckled and pulled myself away from her. "I'll go make you something." She wasn't happy, but agreed. I gave her a quick kiss on her forehead and walked downstairs to the kitchen. I opened their refrigerator and peered inside. Fish, milk, eggs, cheese, and more fish. They obviously haven't been shopping lately. I decided to go with the eggs. I could make an omelet with them.
While I was preparing Bella's food, I could hear her stumbling down the stairs.
"Whatcha cooking?" she asked as she came in the kitchen.
"An omelet. If you don't want it, I can go get you something else."
"It's fine" she said as she plopped down at the table. I flipped the omelet on a plate and brought it over to her. As soon as I put the plate down she dug in. I walked back over to the fridge to get her a glass of juice, and by the time I came back she only had about one bite left.
"I see you were hungry" I said with an amused smile. She blushed. "Are you still hungry?"
"No. I think this enough for now...I mean, I don't want to get sick again."
I nodded. "So, what would you like to do then?" I asked her. She was quite for a minute. She looked as if she was lost in thought. "Bella" I said pulling her out of her daze. "What are you thinking?"
"Did you and Emmett make up yet" she blurted out.
"Umm... no. Not yet" I said leaning against the counter and running my fingers though my hair.
"Why not?" she asked. I sighed. I kind of wished she would just drop it.
"Rosalie is still not talking to Emmett. So Emmett's not talking to me."
"Oh" she said going quite again. "You're going to see Alice this evening, right?" she asked.
"Yes" I answer curiously.
"Can you ask her to come over tonight. I need to talk to her about how I am going to plot my revenge" Bella said. I could tell she was pissed. Jessica had become a total bitch to her since I'd come back. I remember my first day back to school she had tried to hit on me. She knew I was still with Bella. She knew what Bella had gone though while I was gone. Yet her mind was only focused on taking me so Bella couldn't have me.
If Jessica really thought that batting her eyes or rubbing up and down my arms was even remotely attractive, she was dead wrong.
"Edward" Bella said. She was standing in front of me with a weird look on her face.
"Did you say something love?" I asked.
"You asked if I wanted to do something. I said I kinda felt like lying around today."
"I smiled down at her. That's probably best. We want you to get better" I said placing the back of my hand to her head. Her fever had gone down tremendously. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine" she said hugging me close. We walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Bella snuggled against my side claiming that she was still hot.
We sat there on the couch for the most part occasionally talking, or kissing. Bella was sleeping on and off against my shoulder while I hummed her lullaby. She would get annoyed with me for letting her fall asleep, but I knew she hadn't got enough sleep last night. At about one o'clock it began to rain, and the room became chilly. So I picked her up and walked her back into her room, where she burrowed herself under her covers. I sat quietly in her rocking chair watching her sleep. Soon she began to sleep talk.
"Jacob" she mumbled softly.
Unfortunately his name had become common in her sleep talk since I came back. She would say it a few time, then start talking about something else.
"Jacob... stop..."
I sat up straighter in the chair. This caught my attention a little more. I noticed her heart begin to race, and her grip tighten on her pillow.
"No... please... stop" she pleaded. I walked over to her bed and sat down on her edge. She was trembling and tears were running down her cheek. Her heart was pounding in her chest. And she was covered in a thin layer of sweat. I was about to wake her up myself. I couldn't stand the thought of her in pain, even if the pain was caused by figments of her imagination. 'Stupid mutts always managing to hurt her'
"Edward" she gasped opening her eyes. She looked terrified. I pulled her to me and let her cry on my shoulder.
"Shh. It's okay love" I tried to sooth her.
"Please don't leave me" she said in between sniffles.
"I'm not going to leave you. I promise Bella" I said stroking her hair and kissing the top of her head.
After a while she finally began to calm down. I ran down stairs and back again in three seconds with a glass of water for her. She thanked me before sipping at it while she continued to calm herself down. I sat back down and she leaned against me again. Her heart beat had slowed down to its normal pace.
"Do you want to talk about this?" I asked her. She tensed in my arms before shaking her head no. Normally if she didn't want to talk about something I would drop it, but that was what Carlisle said about us not communicating. "Yes" I said lifting her chin to look at me. "You will tell me."
She looked at me with a shocked expression which turned into anger and moved away from me. "I said I didn't want to talk about it" she said loudly.
"Well I say you need to" I said trying to keep a strong demeanor.
"No Edward. Drop it" she growled.
"No" I growled back.
"Why can't you just forget it? I have" she pointing a finger a her chest.
"No I will not forget it. You were just about having a mental breakdown not ten minutes ago."
"No I wasn't."
"Yes you were Bella" I said getting annoyed with her stubborn act. "Just tell me why you are afraid of Jacob Black."
Bella became wide eyed. "I-I'm not...afraid of J-Jake." she said. It was obvious she was lying.
"You don't sound all that believable" I said standing up.
"You're just jealous" she said crossing her arms.
"I'm not jealous of some mutt with a one sided crush" I said defensively. I was totally offended by her remarks.
"Yes you are" Bella said in a sing song voice.
"No I'm not" I said through clenched teeth.
"Are too."
"Bella" I warned.
"Edward" she teased.
In an instant I had her pinned down on her bed. She gasped when she realized just how close our faces were. "Take it back" I threatened. She grabbed on to my forearms.
"Or what?" she replied licking her lips.
"Or I'll be forced to do something drastic" I whispered just merely centimeters away from her lips. Her grip on my biceps tightened as I crashed my mouth to hers. All the raw desires I had been feeling that past few hours were awakening. She moaned into our kissed as I sucked onto her bottom lip.
I knew I wasn't going about this the right way. We couldn't make out as a way to hide all of our problems, but just the feel of her soft warm lips on mine was enough for now. Her fingers locked themselves in my hair, pulling, and scratching lightly at my scalp. It felt amazing.
My hands found their way under her top. I couldn't help myself as I began kissing her down her neck to her collarbone. I could smell her blood perfectly as her neck pulsed under my lips. I quickly releaved both mine and Bella's shirt from us kissing her down her chest and stomach. Her arousal floated around me. I was going crazy with need.
My fingers made quick work of her pajama pants, leaving her only in a pair of panties. Bella panted and writhed beneath me. She grabbed my hand and placed it on her heat. Her panties were already soaked. I rubbed her through the thin material of her underwear, enjoying her gasps and small moans of pleasure. I pushed my erection in between us trying to get some friction.
"Please Edward... touch me" she moaned. Her blush had spread just above her breast and it was an incredible turn on.
I slid her panties down her legs and was about to throw them somewhere when I saw something on them. On the back in bold red letters read 'Bite Me'. I swear she is going to be the death of me.
I settled myself on her bed between her legs. I caressed her damp curls while I breath in her spicy scent. She was intoxicating me. I spread legs legs wider before easing a finger in her heat.
"Oh..." she moaned. She was incredibly hot inside due to her recent fever. I felt myself go even harder with lust. I started off with a slow, testing speed to let her adjust. It wasn't to long till Bella was moving her hips with my thrust. I slipped another finger inside her. I could feel her walls stretching now. I moved my thumb up to massage her clit. She threw her head back in pleasure.
I started to thrust and curl my fingers upward. I'd read about the g-spot while looking through one of Carlisle's health books at home one day. I wasn't involved with anyone so I never gave it much though. Now was the perfect time to try it out.
I thrust a little harder and aimed for the same spot each time. I knew I had found it because Bella arched her back and screamed out when I touched it.
"Right there...baby please" she screamed. I kissed her thighs and stomach before coming up to kiss her mouth as I continued to touch her. While she came I kissed her hard covering her cries with my mouth. She trembled in my arms.
She collapsed against me with a lazy smile plastered on her lips. I wrapped the covers around us as we lay there. While Bella caught her breath, I wrapped my arms around her naked form and listened to her heart beat even out.
"Edward" she called sleepily.
"Yes love?" I answered back looking down at my beautiful Bella.
"What about you?" she said pointing to my obviously hard on.
I knew she was tired. And she was suppose to be sick. I wouldn't feel right taking advantage of her like that. "I'm fine love" I said kissing the top of her head. My dick screamed at me in anger.
"Okay" she said letting her eyes close. She snuggled into my chest before drifting off to sleep.
As I lay there holding her, I though about everything that had happened. How she had reacted when I mention Jacob's. In the pit of my stomach something told me that something wasn't quite right. I knew deep down that something had happened between the two of them. Now I just had to get her to admit it...
And it is done. FINALLY!!! I hope you enjoyed this chapter.......:P
