§Bella's POV§
Emmett and Rosalie were standing by my window frowning at me. Emmett opened the door and dragged me out, giving me a big bear hug. Rosalie looked a little out of place, like she didn't know what to do.
"Bella, why are you crying? What's wrong?" Emmett asked concerned. I smiled a weak smile up at him, brushing my tears away.
"Lets talk about this inside." He snaked his arm around my shoulder and guided me back to the hospital. I didn't want to go back there today. I wanted to go home and lay under my blankets and just hide from this cruel world.
We walked inside in silence, Emmett's arm resting on my little shoulders. We walked into the Cafeteria and sat down.
"So, do you mind telling us why you were crying?" Emmett prompted, Rosalie hit him in the back of his head and smiled kindly at me.
Should I tell them? That was the only question I could think of. The whole school knew, so when they started to go there, they would know immediately. It would be better coming from me, than from Lauren or Jessica. They liked to make the story a little more juicy, just for the gossip. My two favorites were ' She's contagious' or 'I heard she has rabies too'.
I knew why they didn't like me. I was standing in the girls bathroom stall once, and Jessica came in with the new girl, Angela Webber. She had warned her about me, said that she shouldn't waste her time being nice to me, I could just drop dead at any moment so what was the point in being friends with someone like me?
"I--I sort of…I have c-cancer." I stuttered. I looked down, embarrassed. I hated telling this to people, and I wouldn't have told the school either. And I sort of didn't. The principal took the liberty to inform the whole school on speaker.
"Is it bad?" Emmett asked softly. I looked up and they had gentle expressions. I thought they would be disgusted or just walk away, like all the people in school did. Including my parents. After they found out, they sort of shut me out. They only paid for my pills and clothes. We never talked anymore, have any fun. They didn't even care if I didn't came home at night.
"I was suppose to be dead two years ago." I whispered sadly. I felt sort of stupid for crying about it. I mean everyone is going to die, I was just going earlier than everybody else, there was no reason to be a cry baby about it. I heard both of them gasp in surprise.
"This is going to crush Edward!" Rosalie said in shock.
"He'll get new friends when I'm gone." I said shrugging. I didn't want to make a big deal about it. They glared at me. Did I say something?
"Edward is not like that! We know him, he is going to be crushed. He likes you, a lot. And you're his first friend, ever. How would you feel if he died?" Rosalie snapped at me. Emmett didn't glare anymore, he couldn't even look at me.
"I would be crushed if anything bad ever happened to him. But there is nothing I can do about it."
"How can you talk about your death so calmly?! Your talking about it like--like your talking about potatoes!" Emmett exclaimed. Why did he say the word? I started laughing uncontrollably, almost falling out of my seat.
"What are you laughing at!?" Rosalie snapped at me again, her happiness left down the road.
"Potatoes!" I chocked out. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. After 10 minuets of me calming down with the occasional giggle coming from me, I calmed down enough to have a normal light conversation.
(AN: So sorry for the Potato thing here, but I'm always cracking up when i hear the wrod. There just so funny!)
Emmett thought it was pretty funny with my little outburst, he teased me and I would giggle. Rosalie was still a little mad at me for joking about my own death. Although I think it was more of concern for Edward.
"Are you going to tell him?" Rosalie questioned softly, looking slightly sad. I didn't think about what I was going to tell him. I knew I wanted to be the one telling him the news, I just didn't know how.
"I have to. I think it would be better coming from me than from Jessica and Lauren. They tend to make up a little more to the story than there really is." I said annoyed. Just because I was dying didn't give them the right to spread the news. I didn't want the news to be spread at all. But, in a town like Forks, That's just impossible.
"Oh, something funny or mean? I could scare them a little for you." Emmett winked at me, flexing his muscles. I laughed and Rosalie huffed. It was strange, laughing like this. It came natural, it wasn't forced.
"No Emmett. No need to scare them. Just keep in mind that I do not have rabies. And you Rosalie, are going to be worshipped. They love beautiful people, so they are going to beg you to be friends with them." She looked stunned at what I said, and than she beamed at me like there was no tomorrow. I blushed a little, thinking about what I said. But it was true! They were going to beg her on there knees.
"I'll tell them that I already have a first friend here. And yes, we will keep in mind that you do not have rabies." She giggled. Emmett chuckled and looked at me with kind eyes. I was so touched by what she said. I had more than one friend. All in two weeks.
"Maybe we should tell him now…." Emmett trailed off, eyeing me strangely. His lips moved but I could not hear anything. Rosalie did the same right after him, like they were talking.
"His asleep now. I drugged him before I left." I said sheepish. They gasped at me like I had done the worst crime in the world.
"Not like that! God no, I would never do that. I just gave him morphine, enough to sleep. When your healing from broken bones, its just best to sleep it threw." All this came from experience.
"Have you broken a lot before?" Emmett asked amused.
"My leg three times, my skull one time, both my wrist two or three times, a concoction, and six ribs. Lets just say I'm not the most graceful person in the world." I said sheepish, and embarrassed. I blushed and looked away.
"That's just not possible!" Emmett exclaimed astonished.
"Everything is possible for a human." They tensed up when I said the word human. What was the big deal about it? They glanced at each other and laughed nervously.
"I think I'll go home now. Say hi to Edward for me, when he wake's up." They gave me a hug and I walked out of the hospital. I felt tired and just wanted to sleep.
§Emmett's POV§
"We have to tell the others about this." I mumbled sadly. Bella was so nice. Not like those other humans who only think about them selves. And she is dying. Why is it that the good people always die, and the bastards get good jobs and make a lot of money?
"Come on. We can tell them now. Maybe Alice can get a vision or something that might help us. But, I do believe we should tell Jasper and Alice before we tell Carlisle and Esme." Rosalie said with a weak smile. She really liked the human girl too. Probably because of the huge compliment, but she liked her none the less. I could see the sorrow in her eyes when she though about Bella dead.
We walked up to Edward's room in silence, holding hands. It was a nice hospital, not too much blood here at all. Perfect for us.
Alice and Jasper were talking to each other in vampire speed when Rosalie and I came to the room. Edward was sleeping with this big goofy grin on his face. Someone's thinking about Bella…
"Guys we need to tell you something about Bella." Rosalie whispered in the same speed. They stopped talking and looked at us puzzled.
"She has cancer. And its bad too. She was suppose to be dead two years ago." Rose continued sadly. I laid a comforting hand around her waist and she snuggled up too me. Jasper and Alice were in shock, looking down at Edward.
"That's why she ran out crying. Oh, I feel so bad about what I said! How could I say that?! I'm such a monster!"
"Alice you didn't know. Your not a monster, this is not your fault." Jasper soothed. She relaxed a little but looked ready to cry, if she could that is.
"Are we telling Edward?" She asked quietly.
"No, Bella wanted to tell him herself. The whole school knows so she wanted us to here it from her instead of the other students." Rosalie explained. They nodded and looked deep in thought.
"Should we tell Carlisle and Esme?" I questioned everyone.
"Tell us what dear?" We turned around and there was Esme and Carlisle, holding a bag with clothes for Edward.
"Bella has cancer and she's dying, fast. She's suppose to be dead right now." Alice explained in a rush. She broke down sobbing, clinging to Jasper with her little hands. I hated seeing her so sad. I hated it when people were sad in general, but it just broke my heart when it was one of the family members.
"Oh no! The poor dear! And Edward, he is going to be devastated." She broke down sobbing too, into Carlisle's shoulder. In a flash I had Alice and Esme in my arms, giving them a big 'bear hug' as Edward said when he was little.
"I can't stand it when you cry." I mumbled into there hair.
"We will give her the option to be a vampire if that is what she wishes. We can all talk to her when Edward gets home from the hospital. I'm sure she would want to visit." We all snickered at that, even Alice and Esme. Inever thought that I would see Edward react like that to a girl!
"What if she says no, what if she tells on us?"
"Rosalie dear, give her a break, just because she is human does not mean she cannot keep a secret. I have talked to her a lot for these past two weeks, she is a nice girl, she would never do that." Esme said kindly, still being held by me.
"I am afraid she is not going to live more than a year tops. So that will not be a problem. If the Volturi were to find out, we will just explain the situation to them. Aro will understand." Carlisle said meekly, like he didn't fully trust the words he had just spoken. He also looked sad. Sad for Bella.
We were all sad for her. I just hope she would be smart and choose the right thing.
I'll try to make another Chapter to 'Bella's Rage' and 'Military School for girls' before I leave, but i do NOT, and i repite, NOT promise anything.
I don't own it blah blah blah, you know it.
REVIEW!
