I hope you liked the last chapter, it was a gr8 surprise. Thanks for reviewing! Luv u guys sooooooooooo much!
So since you guys don't open my profile frequently, I'll post my upcoming story ideas at the end of the chapter.
Here is chapter 10! (I'm freakin' happy that I reached chapter 10, YAY ME!)
Chapter ten:
Edward's POV:
It was 3:00 am when I woke up. There was something warm at my side, really warm. I glanced to find Bella's face red and sweat beads scattered across her face.
My hand shot to her forehead immediately. Damn it, she's burning up. I got up from bed and rushed downstairs quietly. I got a piece of cloth and bowl of cold water from the kitchen and jumped the stairs, literally.
As soon as I was beside Bella again, I dipped the cloth into the cold water and wiped the sweat off Bella's face. I rested the cloth on her forehead and kissed her hair.
I spent the next our wetting the cloth in the water and resting it on Bella's forehead until the fever reduced. I put the stuff aside and pulled her close to me and tightened my grip around her carefully. I drifted into sleep as my mind wandered about if Bella didn't feel good when she woke up.
When I woke up, I shifted my arms through the bed sheets to find them empty. Worry shot through as I jumped out of Bed. I headed straight to the bathroom to hear the shower running through the door. God, she scared me there.
I took clean clothes and headed to the main bathroom. After showering and drying my hair, I went back to the room to find Bella sitting on the bed cross-legged as she held her head between her hands. She was already in her clothes, ready with her bag by her side but she still looked sick to me.
I walked up to her and sat by her side "How are you feeling now?"
She turned her head slightly so that she was able to see me from the corner of her eyes. Her face or what I saw of it, looked pale, not her normal ivory but pale. "I'm fine."
"Bella, tell me honestly how are you feeling?" I said, this time my voice getting anxious. She groaned and lifted her head to face me. I was wrong, it was further than pale, it was translucent.
"Really Edward, I'm fine." She smiled at me weakly and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"I think you should ditch today." I stated my opinion.
"No, it's 2nd way." Her words finalizing the discussion, she got up and slung her bag over her shoulder with effort. She walked out room in a weak, slow pace. I followed her with my arms in front of me, ready to catch her if she fell.
Alice and Esme were chatting at the kitchen table but stopped abruptly when Bella and I entered. Their eyes swept over Bella's weak position and both glared at me disbelievingly. I just mouthed "Stubborn" and they chuckled half-heartedly.
Soon, were on our way to school. Alice sat at the back seat shooting frantic worried glances towards Bella through the review mirror.
When I parked the car, I went quickly to the passenger seat door and supported Bella. Shouldn't have let her come I chanted in my head. She looked so weak, even frailer than she is.
Thank god we went through half the day in peace, except of course with Mr. Varner, ugh I hate him! He made Bella go get a chair from the other class alone because he said it was borrowed even though I saw his books settled on an extra chair behind the teacher's desk.
Bella didn't eat anything but an apple and I was grateful that she ate; you know what they say, though I doubt it in Bella's case. Angela and Ben kept shooting worried glances towards her.
English went along good. Mr. Mason was mature enough so he didn't torture Bella, but instead he tortured me. "Mr. Cullen! If you glance side ways again, you'll get detention!"
He said when he noticed my glances towards Bella.
Mr. Banner did make us laugh, even Bella, which was a relief. Such a cool guy at a very old age. He's like the best teacher ever! Great! Now, I'm squealing internally like girls. I'll kill Alice.
Gym. I heard Bella groan. Today we would start working out. I opened my mouth to tell Bella to ditch but she just glared at me with her tired eyes and I shut my mouth. She leaned on me as we walked to gym, slowing us down, which caused us to arrive late.
Fortunately, Coach Cloap noticed Bella's sick figure and told her to sit by the bleachers. Bella just watched as we worked out. Coach stopped us and told us that sign ups for the team trials will be held after gym.
After gym, Bella registered her name and ran to the bathroom. I wasn't worried because I saw Angela follow her slowly.
When I was signing up, I noticed that weird guy behind me. He was just shorter than I was and had the cap that covered his face. His clothes were just as simple. He scrambled quickly in the paper and hovered out of the gym.
I waited for Bella beside the girl's restroom door. Angela exited supporting a very pale Bella. I just picked her up and cradled her against my chest. I think she passed out.
"What happened?" I whisper-asked Angela we exited to the parking lot.
"She was sick and she's not stable. Why did you let her come?" she asked as she glared at me. What am I to be glared at the whole day?!
"She insisted! And you don't know how Bella can be stubborn!" I whispered back as I quickened my pace towards the car. I could see Alice leaning beside it.
Alice glared at me-again- as I placed Bella in the backseat. Alice rested Bella's head on her lap as we drove off.
"Edward, she's burnin' up! Hurry!" she hissed.
"Alice, I'm passed the limit. Do you want us to turn to a Volvo pretzel around some tree?!" I huffed back at her. She shut her mouth until we arrived home.
When I entered the house, Bella in my arms, I was surprised to find Carlisle home. When he saw Bella, He shot right up and started saying stuff that I couldn't separate any word from the other. I only heard your room, my stuff, why, take, school, sick, burning…
After I rested Bella on my bed, she mumbled "Just a cold…don't worry."
She opened her eyes slightly and grinned at me. Carlisle checked her and as she said "just a cold."
He gave her meds and she slept. I was lying beside her, my arms wrapped around her, when her cell rang. I picked it up the caller Id said : Jakey.
I knew it was Jacob so I picked up. "Hey Jake."
"Edward…Hey! Um…Are you guys coming today?" He asked.
"No, Bella got sick. Guess it was from playing in the rain, sorry"
"She's sick too? I was calling to tell you not to come cause May's sick. What a-
And his voice was interrupted by a louder feminine voice in the background "She's sick too, isn't she? I told you so, nobody just listens to me! You must learn to listen to me Jacob!"
I recognized the voice, Rachelle. I just chuckled quietly.
"Hey! Stop laughing!" he whined then he chuckled too.
"Can I talk to her?" we asked the same time. "Why?" Again together.
"To make sure she's okay."
"She's asleep."
"Stop that!"
"No you stop!"
"Jake!" I finally stopped the talking together thing. "Stop, it's freaking me out!"
Bella moved a little bit but settled her face in my chest and curled into a ball.
"Sorry, so bye! Oh, and tell Bella that I wish she would get well soon."
"Good bye, Jake! And tell May that Bella and I wish she would get well soon and tell Billy that I said hi"
"Kay, bye"
"Bye" then I hung up.
I sat there, with my arms around Bella, until the fever cooled. I slid out of bed carefully and went downstairs.
"How is she?" a tiny voice whispered behind me that made me jump. I turned around and looked at the tiny figure who was Alice.
"She's fine, the fever cooled." I said as I towed her to the living Room. We sat on the couch for sometime watching TV and talking about our day with Mom and Dad.
I heard light footsteps on the stairs and shot right up towards it. Bella looked really good now, after her face gained some color. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she buried her face in my chest.
"How are you now?" I murmured as we descended the stairs.
"Much better." She said then she beamed at me. I smiled it's good to see that she's okay.
"No school for you tomorrow." I said
"But-
"No buts missy, you didn't see yourself today. Angela, Alice, and Esme almost slaughtered me for taking you to school today. Beside that, you don't want to anything worse, do you?" I asked as I shuddered at the though of the tiny little cold to develop to something big.
"If that's what you want." She mumbled then she skipped to Alice and Esme who seemed happy that she looked good.
We chatted for the next few hours as we ate dinner. Bella didn't eat too much. After dinner, I noticed the sweat beads forming on her face again.
"Bella," I said as I stood and stretched my hands for her, "C'mon, time to sleep."
She didn't argue, in fact she stood up and went to the bedroom. She slipped into the bed and curled into a ball after I gave her the meds. She drifted to sleep with ease, as well as I did.
Thursday. Bella's been much better after ditching the last couple of days. The whole school was exited about the whole teams thing. Schools from allover Forks will be trying in. Even Jake told me he'll be in the trials with some of his friends.
After ditching Monday and Tuesday, Bella and I would wake up an hour early and go jogging and exercising. We didn't have much time to prepare but we had to try.
Bella, Alice and Angela were chatting happily on the swings about the trials while Ben, Jake and I were practicing.
"You guys, we wanna play soccer." Bella yelled as she ran to us with the girls behind her. The boys and I laughed but Bella smirked which told that something is going to happen.
So we were playing girls vs. boys. We started playing when I remembered that Alice was the only girl in Alaska who had beaten the great Emmett in soccer in 7th grade. Uh-Oh.
The girls were playing like pros and we were loosing because we were taking them easy. Jake was our goalie while Angela was theirs. Angela wasn't tall or big but her reflexes were super.
"Yes!" Bella yelled as she jumped around the yard, celebrating their victory. We groaned and went to the kitchen, our shoulders slumped in defeat.
"We won, you lost, you owe us dinner yes you do! Ha ha ha ha ha!" the girls sang as they followed us to the kitchen.
After we snacked, we played truth or dare, monopoly, and 20 questions. We made our home works, too. It fascinated me how Bella helped Jacob in his work, not like an older sister but like a mother. She would make the perfect mother.
I could imagine it, our kids; minis of us, jumping around playing with us hide and seek in the park, Bella laughing and running with me as we run behind them and tickled them to the ground. This was my future with Bella, my only true love.
After we were done with any house work we had throughout the week, we-as we promised- took the girls for dinner. My date was Alice while Jake's was Bella. It was a sister-brother thing. Angela and Ben took off because they wanted to be alone, so they went to another restaurant.
It wasn't official. We just grabbed cheese burgers from burger king and dined at the first beach. The girls were incredibly hyper-active today, they begged us to play hide and seek.
We went over to Jake's and sat with Billy a little bit. He would sit on the couch and Bella would sit beside him as he had his arms around his god-daughter. If she wants to ask anything she wouldn't call him Billy, just dad. He would smile whenever she said it.
Their handshake was their own father-daughter connection which they made up when Bella was 4. I saw Jake's photo Album, noticing that Bella was in every picture he was in until his 9th birthday, that's after Renee and his honeymoon. Saying his name just raises hatred lumps in my throat.
Bella was the most sweet and innocent throughout her life. There was a picture that she was in a blue dress and she had pigtails. She was grinning happily revealing her missing front teeth. Little 3 years old Jacob was gripping her hand, supporting himself on his feet, and beaming too.
After that, Alice, Bella, and I went home. Alarm clocks were set on 5:00 am, people ready in their Pj's, good nights said, we were ready for bed.
Bella rested her head on my chest after we broke of our passionate goodnight kiss. I kissed her forehead and relaxed letting sleep creep to me. We need to save all the energy we have for tomorrow.

- What would happen:
If you are one of the Stephanie Meyer Fans, then you must've read "The Host", her first adult novel (though I am not an adult but I find it interesting, reading her novels) If you haven't read it, ADVISE: READ IT! Truly one mixture of Romance and Adventure that adds the perfect mood through the reading. Anyways, "What would happen" is what I though would be the sequel to "The Host" even if it's not match to the upcoming and soon to be started "The Soul" and "The Seeker", her sequels of "The Host" trilogy. At the beginning are some point of views that I imagined should be needed in some chapters (Jared, Ian, Jamie, and even Melanie herself) Then I start completing what I imagined would happen between the rebels and their allies, the native souls, and the oh-so-good souls.How will their lives continue? What are the chances of both humans and souls living in harmony? As they said "It's a strange world"-Wanderer "The Strangest"-Burns living Flowers.
