Chapter 8: Unwanted but Much Needed Help
When we got into the nurses office Edward laid me down on the paper that covered the small single sized bed. I sighed. After he moved from my line of vision I saw the nurse looking from him to me.
"She fainted in biology." He said.
"From what?" The nurse asked. It sounded like she was suspicious of something.
"I don't know. We were blood typing today. Maybe she doesn't like the sight of blood." Edward said with amusement in his eyes but worry on his face. I turned on my side and closed my eyes, my body wanted to shut down so badly.
"Did you faint because of the blood dear?" She asked worriedly.
"No..." I said gasping for small pieces of air then the shaking started. I tried to stretch my legs out and spasmed.
"Did you take any pills?" The nurse said getting out of her chair coming over to me.
"I don't take pills, this is just from exhaustion." I stated taking deep breaths."It will go away after I get some hours of sleep."I said closing my eyes slightly. Even though the shaking will get worse I still have to relax or else i'll pass out for a long amount of time.
"You've explained this before? " She asked clearly concerned.
"When I was a kid I stayed up every night and watched the sunrise, now it's all catching up to me." I said remembering watching the sunrise through my window near my bed.
"Oh, yes all of that really does catch up to you after a long time of doing it. You should be getting as much rest as possible. Do you want to call home?" She asked.
"Yes." I said instantly. I really need sleep badly. I can't wait to stop feeling this way. I turned over and saw Edward looking down at the bed I was on. Crap, I bet he's thinking about what I just said. Why couldn't he just leave the room.
"You should really get back to class." The nurse said to Edward, doing my work for me.
"I'm suppose to look after her until she goes home. She's my responsibility until then so I can tell the teacher how she is." He said looking into her eyes. The nurses cheeks turned pink and she looked away and adjusted her glasses, clearly she was charmed by him.
"Oh..." She said still blushing and pretending to read her clipboard. I wish I could make a guy do that. I thought as I raised an eyebrow and then quickly put it down. I'm so tired I can't feel my face as much as I usually can. I was blinking very lazily.
"You can call home on this phone but you'll have to dial '9' frist. She said then got up."I'll be right back in a minute. " She said then turned and left the room. It was quite but Edward's presence kept bugging me.
"Why are you still here Edward? " I said after I sat my seemingly heavy body up and pulled out my phone. Edward looked at my face.
"I don't know. " he said. Oh boy classic Edward answer. After turning away from Edward I looked down at my phone and sighed. I started calling my dad. He's the only one with a car. Mom and Jazz are stuck at home most of the time. I put the phone on my ear and turned the opposite direction of Edward. It was ringing for a while then my dad picked up.
"Hello?" He said loudly. Eh. I really don't like talking on the phone.
"Hey dad, could you pick me up?" I asked, the exhaustion was evident in my voice. There was silence at first.
"What's wrong? " I could clearly tell that coming to pick me up would definitely be a drag for him.
"Well, I passed out a couple of times." I said.
"Passed out?" He questioned.
"Yeah, I only got thirty minutes of sleep last night." I said.
"Oh." There was silence again. I started to get another heat flash. "I can't come early to pick you up I have appointments to make." He said. I let out a big breath and said.
"Alright."
"I'll talk to you later." He said then hung up. Swinging my legs around I laid down again mildly shaking. My arms were above my head. Then the heat flashes and the feeling of swaying became to much to bare. I set up and took off my jacket and laid back down. The nurse came back in the room with Mike and another sick kid.
"Lay down on the other bed." The nurse said and started looking over at some papers again.
"Hey." Mike said to me." Are you feeling any better?" He asked.
"No." I said feeling all of sleepless effects. I breathed in and out slowly to calm myself.
"Oh...thats, um. I hope you feel better." He said. I nodded with one arm covering my eyes. Everything was quiet for a while then I heard Edward shuffle near me. I took my arm of my head in and look around to find Edward glaring Mike. Huh? I looked at Mike and saw that he was watching my chest go up and down as I breathed. Dang it. My chest just had to be this big. It's so embarrassing. I struggled to get up. Mike was there at my side trying to help me. And Edward took my other arm. My arm tingled at his touch and I started breathing harder. I was to weak to shake it off. I wanted to get out of here.
"Lets go i'll take you outside for some air. " Edward said as I leaned on him instead of Mike. Mike glared at him. I wanted to get away and walk on my own. but my body was feeling terrible.
"Ok." I said not looking pleased nor healthy.
"You're going home now?" The nurse assumed.
"Yes she's going home." Edward answered for me as he gave me my jacket. The nurse nodded then went back to her paperwork. Edward pulled my arm to hold me up, being careful not to touch my skin with his fingers. I slipped on my jacket one arm at a time.
"I'll take you home. " He said. I felt panic arise in my chest and tried to make an excuse.
"My parents would kill me if they knew I skipped." I said leaning against the wall when he led me out into the hall way.
"Don't worry I'll get you out of school." He said looking down at me with a smirk. Hell no. Is what I wanted to say but instead I stuttered a.
"No thankyou Ed-" Then suddenly I was gasping for air again. My body really wanted to give out.I've never been this bad in public before. Edward caught me when I started to fall over. I was breathing harder and my heart was hammering against my chest.
"I got you." I wanted to smile. My eyes widened when Edward picked me up. I wasn't even able to protest. My head was laid helplessly against his chest and my eyes couldn't help but close. I stared into my eyelids as I felt the slight motion of being carried by Edward Cullen. I heard a door open and opened my eyes to see that I was In the front office. Edward sat me down on a chair.
"Close your eyes." Edward said. I lifted my eyebrow slightly as the rest of my limbs felt numb. "I'm trying to get you out of here." He said. I wanted to say something but a wave of dizziness flowed over my head and my eyes instantly shut. I heard Edward talking for awhile with a women. Then I felt myself being lifted again, I peaked to see that it was Edward carrying me again. I kind of given up a losing battle already so I just closed my eye. Not to long after I smelled the air of Forks and heard a car door opening and felt him put me into a seat. Then I heard the door close and heard him getting in on the other side. Before he pulled off I felt the heat turn on. I sighed , this felt good. I felt my body relaxing more. Edward turned on some music. Debussy...thats his favorite song isn't it. My fingers moved a little like they were hitting keys on a piano. It was a force of habit. I like to pretend to play piano. I've always wanted to learn how to play but it was too difficult to find the time. The sound of a piano is always so soft and beautiful to me. Of course I'm kidding when I say this, but was he trying to seduce me? it didn't take long before I heard the car stop.
"Where am I?" I asked opening my eyes a little.
"Home." A smooth voice said. I looked to where the voice had came from and saw Edward next to me in the driver's seat. I had become so lost and relaxed because of the heat and music I forgot who I was came back to me.
"Oh..." I breathed. We sat there for a minute. "Why did you bring me here? " I asked in a tried voice. When i'm tired everything is so confusing.
"You wanted to go home." He said stating the obvious.
"Yeah, but why did you help me?" I asked. I've done everything I could do to keep him away. As he opened his mouth I knew what he was going to say. My head leaned to the side.
"Don't say that you don't know." I said lazily looking at his hand hanging on the wheel.
"How'd you know I was going to say that. "He asked looking amused.
"You're avoiding the question." I stated. He leaned closer.
"So are you. " he said.I was charmed by how close he was. I'm to screwed up to deal with this properly. I thought.
"Just forget my question." I said. He leaned back while looking at me. I sucked in what pride that I had left after being at his mercy.
"Thankyou for...taking care of me, and the ride home." I said looking forward at the neighborhood. This was awkward.
"You're welcome. "He said with a slight smile. I could feel his eyes on me. I reached for the door handle but realize it was locked so I can unlocked It and was about to open it but I looked up to find that Edward was already there opening the door me with a smirk.
"Need help?" He asked. I nodded. He held out his icy hand. I took it and he pulled me up and supported some of my weight until we crossed over the yard to the front door. I rung the door bell twice and my sister answered after a couple of seconds.
"Hey Jessica!" She started then saw Edward.
"Hey Jazzy." I said. She kept signaling me with her eyes pointing at Edward asking who he was.
"This is my classmate Edward. He drove me home, i'm not feeling to good." I said tiredly. She smiled brightly.
"That was sweet. " she said looking from me to Edward. This was getting embarrassing."thank you for taking care of my little sister." Edward smiled.
"It wasn't any trouble she was quite entertaining." He said. Now that hit a nerve.
"I know she usually is over dramatic about things." She agreed. Edward chuckled as he looked at me while I glared at my sister.
"Well, I would like to stay and talk but I have to go pick up my brothers and sisters from school or they'll be waiting for me." He said politely. I let go of him then lugged myself in the house.
"Oh okay. Bye Edward it was nice meeting you."Jasmine said.
"You to." Edward said then looked at me as I was halfway down the hall way."Bye Jessica, I hope you get a proper sleep tonight." I nodded.
"Thanks." I said. Then he turned to leave and Jasmine shut the door. She turned to me with a devious smirk. She was going to tease me so started to take off my clothes as a distraction. Her faced turned to shock.
"Jessica! Put your clothes back on!" She screamed at me.
"No! I'm going to bed!" I yelled not to tiredly. I ran up the stairs uses my hands a few times and went straight into my room. I got under the covers and turned on the hairdryer to warm myself up. Not to long after I turned it off and went straight into a heavy sleep dreaming of a certain smirk that held me close when I needed it.
