Summary: Just before receiving the Swine Flu vaccination, Bella realises one of the vaccines key ingredient is deadly to her. When no nurse will listen, who will save Bella from a horrible fate.....or will anyone?

Disclaimer: Of course we all know the brilliant world of Twilight belongs to the brilliant author, Stephanie Meyer. I am simply a kid borrowing some of her toys for awhile.

Now, on with the story..........

"Bella, if you don't stop pacing I'll handcuff you to the chair." Ignoring Charlie's words, I continued to pace, "Try me." He gruffly laughed though with little humour. "I just wanted to save you the trouble of buying new shoes, you'll wear a hole through them the way you're going!" Still ignoring him, he noticed jokes weren't making me feel any better and quietened.

Charlie couldn't make me feel better, no one could. Only Edward could.....he'd need to be awake to do that though.

Edward was still out cold, the only reason I wasn't breaking down was the small "beep" of his heart monitor, this was keeping both of us alive. I took a breath every time this life saving sound was heard, ready to stop if it stopped.

If it stopped.

I had to keep some form of hope, even if it was wishful thinking-no, it wasn't. Edward had to live...he had to. Not for my sake, or his sake or Alice's or his parent's.

But for the very fact that someone as beautiful and pure as Edward couldn't not exist, if so, the world (or at least mine) would plummet into a nightful, frightful darkness.

No-one deserved that....I hope.

I caught Charlie watching me out of the corner of his eye, though when I looked he tried to be sneaky and look down. I knew he was worried when he received the call from the school and told about the commotion caused but this protectiveness was bugging me worse than my paranoia.

"Do you want me to get you some coffee?" He looked like he was about to say "no" but then he read in between the lines of my secret message. I want to be alone.

"No-no....I'll get it. You want anything?" I shook no and with a quick nod he left me to think alone.

Bad idea.

Being alone only fuelled my thoughts of Edward. Him, appearing over me. Him, falling onto the floor, not getting up....then there was the tremors. I mentally blocked out those images in fear of losing my lung control.

A flash of blond hair dashed by my peripheral vision, immediately taking my full attention. "Carlisle?" I asked to myself. His posture scared me, it was not the usual standing straight and confident figure... it was worse.

His spine was bent over as he crouched in his run, apparently more focused on speed than pose. His body was tense, his face twisted in worry. My breath was caught, I tensed too. It couldn't be.....

No it couldn't have, not now, I'd need more time! Not now, he....Edward couldn't be.....

I ran up the corridor after Carlisle, watching as he spun into Edward's room and shut the door. Sliding to a stop, I froze. In my haste to get here I didn't think of what I would do once I got here. I rubbed my watery eyes, as a scientific student, I shouldn't be reacting this way, I didn't know for a fact that he was....

Gone.

My heart skipped a beat, in denial at my thoughts. But my mind was piecing this dark puzzle together. All signs pointed to....the worse possibility. With trembling hands, I reached out for the handle, ready to open the door and find out his, my, our destiny.

Before I reached it, it pulled down and opened, on the other side, stood a teary eyed Esme Cullen, Edward's mother. If she's crying then that could only mean....

"Bella..." her whisper barely audible. I watched her lower lip tremble; much Alice's did when upset. It defiantly means that.....

"Bella." She said again, louder through voice cracked. Strained by tears. "Bella he's.......he's!" I watched the tears fall harder now.....her next words were slow, carefully picked....as though trying to find the easiest way to say it to me. Say that he is dea-

"Bella......Edward has passed."

*Builds shelter from army of murderous Edward-loving reviewers* Don't kill me! I'll send the wolf pack on you!

Only joking guys n gals!

But response to this turn of events would help greatly, I have many ideas for next chapter but your ideas and response would help so much!

Anyway I hope you've enjoyed this story, it's coming to an end soon :(

As I said, this all started from a one-shot! The power of reveiws can kick any atomic bomb any time!

And as I also said, updates will be scattered and shortish until the 4th of June when my holidays start :)

My apologies dear readers :)
