Chapter 4
Kisses
I woke up to my phone alarm-clock again. I sighed and got out of bed only to find myself falling to the floor. "Bella was that you?" Charlie asked with concern in his voice.
"Yes." I replied and Charlie was in my room within seconds.
"Why are you on the floor honey?" he held out his hand to help me get up.
"I was dizzy, and then I got up. The next thing I knew was I was on the floor." I rubbed my head, my whole room was spinning.
"Well Bells to be honest you look like hell, how long have you felt like this?"
"Umm sense last night when Jacob brought me home." I was leaning against Charlie. He took his hand and felt my forehead, his hand was so cold.
"You're staying home today, you have a fever." I sighed. "Go back to bed I'll call you in." That sounded so nice, no school. Wait today was only my second day, oh well who cares? Not me that's for sure. I rolled back up into a ball on my bed. I tried to sleep but it didn't work. I looked at my clock, it was already eight. I must have fallen back to sleep without knowing, and I still felt like death however. I put my phone on my nightstand and it buzzed immediately.
Jacob: Are you sick?
Bella: Yes…
Jacob: So am I :P
Bella: What do you have?
Jacob: I'm really dizzy and have a high fever. What about you?
Bella: Same, maybe I gave it to you.
Jacob: Well in that case, I am very mad at you.
Bella: Okay that's cool…too bad though because otherwise I would have invited you over for some soup, and maybe even a movie. Jacob didn't reply back, maybe he was really mad. Just then a got a horrible migraine so I got up to get some medicine. I went back to my bed and stared at my ceiling, fifteen minutes later I heard a noisy truck.
"Bella, I drove all the way here to get some soup now let me in." Jacob called up to me.
"I'm coming." I replied to him. I let out a laugh as I got out of bed. I got up too quickly and almost fell down. I opened the door to Jacob all pale skinned, with messy hair, dark bags underneath his eyes, and wearing sweats like I was. "You look like hell Jacob." I said through a yawn.
"So do you Bella." We both smiled and Jacob walked in and planted himself on the couch. I slowly went up stairs and grabbed a bunch of blankets and pillows. I went to where Jacob was and threw them on top of him. Then I put two big glasses of water on the coffee table in front of the couch. After I sluggishly went to kitchen and made some Campbell's chicken noodle soup. When it was done I put it in a big bowl and grabbed two spoons, then sat next to Jacob trying not to spill.
"What kind of soup?" Jacob asked.
"Chicken noodle." I told him and smiled.
"Bella you forgot the movies." I sighed and put in a random movie. "What movie?" he asked.
"I don't know but whatever it is you're going to like it." I stuck out my tongue and he smiled. Just then the title appeared, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
"Looks like it's going to be a Harry Potter movie marathon then!" We both laughed. The movie started and we started eating the soup. By the time Harry found out he was a wizard Jacob and I had finished off all of the soup. Just like last night Jacob was sitting straight up and down. I was too until about halfway through the movie when my headache came back so I leaned up against him.
"Stupid head!" I hardly ever got sick and on the rare occasion I caught something it was always really bad.
"Yah, my head sucks pretty bad right about now too." Jacob put his head on top of mine, than he fell over and I went along with him; with both winced in pain. "Sorry." Jacob said but stayed lying with his head on the pillow that was conveniently resting there. He pulled me in front of him and wrapped his arms around me, they felt good. I reached down to pull up the blankets around us; they ended up like a cocoon. We stayed like this for a long time now the third Harry Potter movie was playing (at the beginning).
About ten minutes later I heard Jacob snoring in my ear. Yes! I wasn't the one to fall asleep this time! I reached to the coffee table and took a drink of my water. I put it back down on the table just as my phone buzzed.
Sam: You're not in school?
Bella: No, I'm sick :P I laughed silently as I sent the message, I looked at the clock it was already two o'clock.
Sam: Yah me and Jess noticed you were gone. We thought you went back to the sun.
Bella: Nope… Sam didn't text back so I put my phone back down. Jacob let out a big yawn than continued snoring. I muted the TV and grabbed my book that was still on the coffee table from when I arrived at Charlie's. The book was called Maximum Ride: An Angel Experiment. I read the whole series when I was younger, but I liked it so much that I was reading it again.
I remember the first time I read the book I had a crush on one of the main characters. His name was Fang, a mysterious guy that I would have never thought I would like until I read about him. It's silly really, to have a crush on a fictional character. You are never going to see this person; just the vision of him in your head is all you have. But all I had in Phoenix was my mom, Phil, and my books. Now I have friends, never thought the day would come but it did and it is here. I heard the front door open, was it really four already? Wow today went fast and I still feel like crap. "Bells, you awake?" Charlie asked as he started walking down the hall.
"Yes, I'm in the living room." I tried to be as quiet as possible so I wouldn't wake up Jacob. Charlie came in the room and saw Jacob sleeping.
"Why is Jake here?" he was whispering now.
"I got him sick, the least I could do was make him soup and keep him company." I smiled at Charlie. He looked at me as if saying "does he need to be that close to you?" I sighed, dad liked Jacob, I would hate to see how he would react if this was some guy from school. I guess Charlie had hoped I would stay anti-boy for a little longer.
"How did you get him sick?"
"Probably when I flew in and everyone was over." Cheese and rice Charlie, a little too protective aren't we?
"Yah, you guys both look like hell." Charlie sat down on the chair and turned on baseball. I tried to read but couldn't anymore so I tried to focus really hard on the game and pray to god that I would semi- enjoy it. About ten minutes later I fell asleep.
I was dreaming, something I normally don't do when I'm sick. In this dream I was walking on sand at the beach I used to go to with my dad in La Push. I was looking out at the water; it was cloudy out but based on how I dressed it wasn't too cold. My left hand was free but I noticed my right wasn't so I turned my head. I smiled when I saw Jacob and he smiled back at me, but something was different about Jacob. He had sort hair, he was about 4 inches taller, and was more muscular but I still knew it was him. "Having fun Bella?" at first I was confused by his question but I answered him anyway.
"It's nice to spend the day with you Jake, I miss this." I held up our hands to show him what I meant.
"I do too Bells," he was still smiling but then he clenched his teeth to say the next part. "the leeches get to spend all the time with you."
"Jake, Alice and Edward are my friends and that will never change." I gave him a stern look to show I was serious.
"I know…I just love you so much and I don't see you as much as I want to." We stopped walking and Jacob took my face in between his hands and kissed me. I closed my eyes while wrapping my arms around his neck and he put his arms around my waist as the kiss became vigorous. I pulled away to take a breath and opened my eyes only to find that the scenery has changed and I was now sitting on my bed across from Edward.
"So how was your day at the beach with Jacob?" Edward was holding both of my hands in his on his lap.
"It was nice." I smiled up at him. "How was your day?"Edward chuckled at little before answering my question.
"Sometimes it feels like you doubt how much I truly love you." A confused expression crossed my face. "Bella, every time you leave me you take my heart with you."
"So I take it you had a bad day." We both let out a single laugh.
"It was an agonizing day." I leaned closer to Edward and kissed his bottom lip playfully. In return he pulled me closer to his body and started kissing me passionately. This kiss was different from Jacob's. Jacob's was more rough and sloppy while Edward's was soft, gentle and full of love. All of a sudden Edward pushed me on my back and was on top of me kissing my neck so I could breath.
"I love you Edward."
"You are my life, my only love." And with that I took Edward's shirt off and started rubbing his chest.
I woke up startled by my dream. I took a deep a breath, this woke Jacob up. He stretched his arms then put them back around me. "Hello Charlie." Jacob said through a yawn. He comprehended what he said and took his hands off me, an internal frown spread through me.
"Jacob." Charlie nodded at him.
"Well I better get going home; dad's probably wondering why I was gone so long." Jacob picked me up and then put me back down so he could get around me. He held his head because he got up too fast, than he was gone. I sighed. Charlie raised his eyebrows.
"So what did you two do all day?" Charlie asked.
"Watched movies and had some soup, what you do when you're sick." I smiled. Charlie got up and went to the kitchen.
"Hope you're not too sick of soup yet, that's what's for dinner." He called from the kitchen.
"Nope not yet, as long as I can eat it in bed."
"Are you going up there now Bella?"
"Yes." I rolled off the couch and went to my bed. I laid down and Charlie came up with my soup, chicken noodle again. "Thanks dad."
"Sure thing Bella." With that Charlie left. I ate my soup in silence, than my phone went off.
Mom: Hi Bella honey, how was your day?
Bella: I was sick but other than that it was nice.
Mom: Oh I'm sorry, hope you feel better. Phil says hi.
Bella: Tell Phil I said hi back.
Mom: Sweaty I'm sorry I have to go otherwise me and Phil will be late for dinner, just wanted to see how you were doing, love you lots.
Bella: Love you too. I put my phone down.
