Chapter 11: movie exposure
Bella's POV
The next day was hell.
I threw up whatever I ate and I lost about another inch of hair.
I also had to be careful. If I bumped into anything, and I mean ANYTHING, I would get a bruise the size of an apple.
Thank God Edward was around to help me.
Stupid chemo.
Esme was the mother I had always wanted. Don't get me wrong; Renée was a good mother, but I had to take care of her.
She never cared for me. Not even when I was sick. Esme on the other hand tended to my every unspoken need.
Alice insisted we play Monopoly but I managed to get out of that one. I have enough money to buy a car after the last one.
I smirked as I thought of that. Charlie would probably give me the "look" at all the money I had gotten. Charlie had left to do a big police job. Chemo costs a lot, so Charlie went to do a job that paid more.
Bless his soul.
So instead of playing Monopoly, we watched a movie. Emmett had come over and chosen out a movie.
Was he always so…..big?
He was arguing with Edward about which movie to get.
I never watched many movies in my lifetime, so I decided to watch the argument from the sofa.
The argument was in between a movie called A Walk to Remember and The Pink Panther.
Edward was dead set against A Walk to Remember...hmm…..I wonder why?
In the end, we watched the Pink Panther. I don't remember ever laughing so hard. Especially Emmett, who was acting out the inspector's part.
The movie ended and I headed up to bed. I was really tired. I closed my eyes and smiled as Edward moved me closer to him.
I smiled, laying my head on his cool chest. He was so perfect. He hummed my lullaby, and I fell into a deep slumber.

The next day, I rolled over in bed to see that Edward was gone.
My heart dropped into oblivion. His promises meant nothing. He had left anyway
But then I saw a white piece of paper on the pillow next to me. Curious, I lifted it and read it,
Bella,
We needed to go hunting, love. I am so sorry you had to wake alone. We'll be back by noon.
All my love,
Edward
I sighed. Never. He promised to never leave me. I smiled to myself. There was an exception to every rule.
I shook my head and got up to get dressed.
I headed downstairs, not feeling hungry. I wandered around the house not knowing what to do.
I saw the movie A Walk to Remember on the coffee table in the living room.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed it. Whatever Edward was trying to protect me from….I could handle.
I popped the movie into the DVD player and sat down to watch.
ooooh! What reaction do you think she'll have? Review and tell me. I'll try to update tonight again...if you reveiw!
