Chapter 9: Take the risk
"Good morning" Alice said with a smile once Bella opened her eyes. Bella's vision was blurry she took a while to find where Alice was standing. She tried to sit up, but her hands shook as she was taking from her strength which was very little. Alice with her iron grip helped her.
"Thanks" Bella whispered with a smile.
"Are you ok?" Alice asked concerned when she saw how pale Bella's face was.
"I dunno" Bella whispered trying to focus her vision. Her pale white face was wet with sweat. Her hair was so light. She had extremely tired eyes, "How long was I unconscious?"
"Since yesterday" Alice said quietly, "Time for breakfast"
"Oh please, no. I'm not hungry" She whispered with effort.
"No, you will eat, or else I'll tell Edward" Alice laughed.
"Alice please. I really can't eat" Bella said honestly, "I'll eat after a while but right now" She gasped for air, "I can't"
"What hurts?" Alice said quickly.
"I can't breath" She gasped again. She griped her blanket and started gasping. She started to get dizzy, from gasping. She fell on the floor.
"Bella" Alice cried. She carried her back to bed, "Carlisle" She cried while she tried to hold Bella from falling again.
"What is it?" Carlisle came rushing through the door.
"She can't breath" Alice said quickly. Bella's face started to turn a bit blue.
"Kill me" Bella cried, "I can't take this" Carlisle quickly put something that covered her mouth and her nose, it made her breath ease and calm down. Bella looked at Carlisle's serious face.
"If it gets worse I don't think I could control it" Carlisle said grimly, "Look I have to go, there is another patient I'm treating. If anything happens call me"
"Ok" Alice said holding Bella's hand.
An hour later Bella opened her eyes, and took the thing off her face.
"Alice" Bella whispered.
"Yes?" Alice said leaning towards her.
"Get Edward back, I want him" Bella whispered.
"I can't Bella" Alice said with a pained voice.
"I need him" She whispered again.
"Sorry" She said shaking her head.
"What happened? What made him leave?" Bella asked.
"He told me…"
"I know he doesn't want me to know" Bella interrupted, "But you can't possibly imagine that I would forget that he left me. What could possibly make him leave me?"
"Bella, I dunno he doesn't want you to be…"
"Afraid of him? I won't. Alice please tell me." Bella pleaded. Alice fell silent she looked at Bella in thought, "Please" Bella repeated to persuade her. Alice closed her eyes and said,
"I saw him attacking you" Alice whispered. Bella tried to control her expression. They were silent for a moment, but Alice broke it.
"When I told him, he decided that he was too dangerous now. He made Emmet stand outside the hospital and Jasper stay with him."
"Why?" Bella asked puzzled.
"Emmet is for keeping an eye on James. Jasper is for keeping an eye on Edward. He doesn't trust himself anymore." Alice explained.
"I see" Bella whispered. A part of her wanted her to be afraid but she couldn't. She kept thinking about how much poor Edward is suffering, knowing that he could attack her without noticing.
"Are you afraid of him?" Alice asked hesitated.
"No, I'm not. And he's stupid to think that I would be" Bella said quietly. Alice chuckled.
"I think I'll sleep now" Bella said, she didn't really want to sleep but she wanted to think about she'll do, "Thanks Alice"
"Don't mention it, and I mean it" Alice told her with a smile. Bella put her head on the pillow and closed her eyes pretending to fall asleep. I need Edward but he won't come back she thought well then if he won't come… Bella smiled to herself, she had an idea.
About an hour later Bella opened her eyes, pretending that she just woke up.
"Alice" She whispered.
"Yes?" Alice said looking at Bella.
"I feel like drinking a cola, could you please buy me one?" She whispered trying to sound convincing. Alice seemed to buy it.
"Sure, I'll be right back" Alice told her with a smile. She stood up and went out of the room.
"Ok, I only have a few minutes, so I have to move quickly" She got out of bed, but she was too weak to stand up, "Oh God. How am I ever going to do this when I can't stand" She stood there for several seconds to regain balance. She took her jacket and wore it on her white long gown. She wore her shoes and headed for the door, with a shaky walk. It was hard to walk with nothing to lean on and her respiration wasn't easy but she kept saying, "It's all for the sake of getting Edward back" and that seemed to give her some strength. She opened the door and started to walk, using the wall as a support. She fell more than once but stood up again. It took her a while to get to the hospital door but she did. When she opened the door, she found that the light of the day haven't faded yet, that made her a bit happy. She looked at the road trying to remember which one to take. She started walking once she remembered. Gasping for air and falling from weakness, she walked and walked. Not caring that she could die in any minute. After a long walk it she was finally there, she saw it. The Cullen's house was in front of her. She fell again but this time, she couldn't stand up. Her breathing was harder than ever, she wasn't breathing she was gasping. It was hard, but the thought that Edward is only a few meters away made her heart beat. She pushed herself back up, shaking so violently. Every muscle in her body was in pain. But she couldn't stop now. Not when she was nearly there. Every step she took was followed by a fall, but was prevented by her hands. When she finally got to the door, she barely had strength to knock. She leaned on the wall, gasping for air. The door opened, it was Jasper. He looked surprised by how sick she looked and by the fact that she was there alone.
"Bella? How…"
"Take me to Edward, please" She said breathlessly. Jasper was going to take her hand but he stopped and kept his distance, he pushed the door for her, and once she got in she collapsed on the floor. She looked around her.
"Edward" Jasper called. She heard running footsteps on the stairs. He stopped at the last step, shocked.
"Bella?" Edward said amazed, but then he quickly ran to her. He held her arms and lifted her up and at his touch she was cured. No sign of weakness or hard breathing was there, "What are you doing here?" He asked. He tried to look angry but his eyes gave him away, they were full of happiness that he saw her.
"I'm here to tell you that you are stupid" Bella told him trying to look angry too but failed.
"You came all this way to tell me I'm stupid?" He chuckled.
"Yes, to think that I would be afraid of you for that reason, then your definitely stupid" She looked at him, "I love you, and I don't care about that vision. I still feel safe with you" He looked at her with a smile that he tried to hide.
"I dunno what to tell you" He told her looking into her eyes.
"Tell me one thing. Do you love me?" She asked.
"Yes" He whispered.
"Then that's enough for me" She whispered back with a warm smile. He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.
"I do owe you"
