Two days later…
Laying down in a hospital is by far the worst experience in my life. First they wake you up, give you medication that doesn't even work and than forcing food down you mouth, until you throw up five minutes later, than they have you lay back down and watch TV until it's time for lunch, when you have to repeat the breakfast process over again, Carlisle is however insistent that I at least try to hold it down, I know he means well, but I just cant do it, today is my weigh in. Carlisle wants to see if I have gained any weight or lost more, I can tell you right now I definitely lost more, at least two more pounds…wow the death bed diet does work, terrible joke.
Edward had to leave once for an hour yesterday, to go hunting, he stood near the town, in order to be closer to me
Tomorrow is the school prom. And I have to ask if Edward is going to take me. Now, with death knocking on the door, I could feel the tension between Carlisle and Edward, Renee and Charlie. Renee had come to visit me everyday since she was done with 'cleaning' the house…
Right now Edward was again at my side and this time so was Renee and Phil,
"oh Bella were so sorry," Renee cried,
"yeah, were sorry and we love you," Phil had said, while holding my crying mother, I looked up to Edward and smiled when I saw him smiling down at me,
"I love you, Bella. You know that," Phil gave Edward a cold look and continued to comfort my mother, Charlie was at the foot of my bed and crying as well, his chocked up words were,
"Bella, I just got you back" I don't know why, but Charlie's words affected me the most, maybe it's because me and him were so much alike and yet so different, Edward turned to Charlie and asked,
"Charlie with your permission, tomorrow night is the school prom, as you already knew Bella and I had made plans on attending," he stopped and this time his whole torso turned to Charlie,
" I would greatly appreciate it if you were to still allow me to accompany her to the dance," Charlie, as usual looked shocked that Edward was so formal, etiquette and polite, Charlie grunted and tuned to look down at me,
"only if Bella wants to go," he said, I could see the real hurt in his eyes, Edward looked at me with a smile on his face,
"Isabella Marie swan, would accompany me to the prom tomorrow night?" he smiled and than smirked as he asked,
"sure, I'd love to go Edward," I returned his smile and than as I began to chuckle silently I coughed up more blood, Edward's body and posture went stiff and I could tell he was holding his breathe has he spoke,
"I'll call Carlisle" Charlie came to my side and moved my hair out of my way as I heaved once more, Renee's sobs only got louder. Carlisle was here in record timing, of course being a vampire I'm sure helps.
He pulled out his stethoscope and began to listen to my heart rate, of course it was all for show, he could hear it from next door, he stood back up and began to write on the clipboard, he looked down at me and said,
"Bella, were going to weigh you now, okay?" he was asking, Carlisle was always polite,
"okay" I croaked. Carlisle smiled as he bent over to help me get out of bed. Once I was out Carlisle supported all of my weight effortlessly, and walked me over to the scale he placed me about six inches from the scale and I walked over to it and stood still as I waited for Carlisle to adjust the settings properly.
I was now 90 pounds, wow in seven days I lost ten pounds, I guess with all the medication and no food and always sleeping, your bound to loose weight fast. Edward was upset, of course. He was holding on to the possibility of my gaining weight, and that would mean that I had a chance at recovering. I saw the hurt in his liquid topaz eyes, what more could I do? After all, I did say I would try, and I did make an honest effort to do just that, the only problem was that I would throw up more than I would eat when I ate.
Edward was supportive though, through out anything I would go through, from waking up with a high fever, the chills, hot flashes, and puking when all this was happening, and even though I knew that every night would be different, I knew Edward was the only constant thing that was there, even my own parents were unpredictable at times…
Edward was there though, he always was. I knew the pain Edward was going through, even though he would hide it, I could see through all his false pretenses, Alice stood with me as well, jasper and Emmett would come by at least five times a day, and esme was always at the hospital, Carlisle, of course was here as well. Right now, now that my parents were gone and the room was empty except for Edward and me, he was at my side holding me up, he was trying to teach me how to dance, and it wasn't working out to well, seeing as I cant support my own weight, Edward was never ending patient always picking me up when I tripped (which was a lot more often) right now Edward was whispering
Directions into my ears,
"hold onto my neck, love," Edward whispered, my arms were wrapped around his neck and he supported all my weight,
"okay," Edward knew I was making an effort, he chuckled and pecked my cheek with his cold lips,
"your doing so well, love," he said again,
"no I'm not, your doing all the work," I replied as I rested my head against his stone hard and cold chest,
'but it takes two to tango, love" he replied, well it was true,
"so prom, is tomorrow?" I asked, of course I already knew that it was,
"if you don't feel like going you don't have too," Edward said monotone,
"I want to go though, Edward," he smiled at me weakly,
"as long as I'm with you, I don't care where we go," he stopped swaying in his tracks,
"and you mean that?" he asked as he looked at me and stroked my hair back to it's original form,
"yes," Edward looked at me with an expression of confusion and sadness in his face, this time I reached my hand up to touch him, he guided my hand up to his face and than dropped his arm slowly,
"and your so ready, to turn your back on humanity," his silky smooth voice was still monotone
" I looked straight into his soft sincere golden eyes, and said,
"I'm willing to give up death if it meant being with you forever,""you don't know what you're saying," Edward replied, his voice was getting tense,
"I want you, and ill give anything for you," I replied,
"is it not enough, just to live your life and be happy with me,?" Edward asked,
"I'm dieing, Edward,"
"we don't know that for sure, Bella. There's still a chance," Edward, Was indeed in denial,
"Edward, even if I did live longer, every second, every minute I get closer to death," Edward heaved a sigh,
"that's the way its suppose to be," Edwards voice was monotone. We didn't speak for another moment, it wasn't awkward, just silent, Edward, lowered his face to me and gently placed his lips to mine, it was soft and sinuous, his lips danced in synch with mine, finally after a long moment I couldn't breathe anymore, Edward released his grasp on me, he lifted me up and gently laid me on the hospital bed, after placing me gently on the bed, Edward whispered to me,
"Carlisle needs a word with me, ill be back soon," Edward said as he turned to leave the room,
"came back to me Edward," I said, Edward turned around and replied,
"I always will," he said just as he was leaving the hospital room…
