So, to clear one thing up. STI stands for Sexually Transmitted Infection. I knew that confused a few people, and some said STD. I can only wite from what I know and in Ireland they're known as STI's. So, that ok?

I also have a new one shot called "My Threadbare Couch" so could you guys be mega cool and read that and leave a review?

Now, time for Edward's version of events . .

Edward's POV

I sat in my lecture, idly twiddling my pen against my thumb, my thoughts drifted to last night with Bella. I hadn't stayed in her apartment much, mainly because of Alice. She may have no problem with fucking Jasper when I was in hearing distance, but I would have a serious problem with Alice overhearing my bedroom activities.

So last night had progressed no further than heavy petting and passionate kisses. There'd been lots of cuddling and late night talking, which would have been the perfect time to tell her. But I didn't. I didn't tell her about Liam.

I had gotten a blow job from Liam the same night I'd first got with Bella. And during the week I had heard a rather unfortunate rumor circulating about Liam, and certain sores on his mouth which could be transferred . . down below.

Yes. I, Edward Cullen, maybe have potential herpes. Fan-fucking-tastic.

This was so embarrassing, how was I meant to tell Bella I had potentially got an STI off a guy. How was I to know how she would take that? She could be the biggest homophobe going, I wouldn't no, we had never touched upon the topic. I knew she would think badly about me being with two people on the one night. Especially seen as she was one of them.

So I decided I would get tested, and then, if it cae back positive I would tell Bella she had to get tested too.

I was absolutely mortified.

Promiscuous as I had been, this was my first STI test. I'd always been careful, always used condoms, but I had never given much thought to orally transmitted infections . .

So, that evening after my last lecture of the day I made an appointment in the clinic. My timing couldn't have been better really, Bella as studying late in the library tonight, she wouldn't be available to see me.

I donned my thick, black coat. It was cold evening, the wind was fierce and leaves swirled around my feet as I quickly crossed the campus square and entered in the safe anonymity the shadows of the buildings surrounding me offered. I stepped inside the clinic, pulling my scarf down from my face. I cast a quick glance around the waiting room, it was thankfully empty. I stepped up to the small window in the wall and gave the receptionist my name. She asked me to take a seat. I settled myself in one of the comfortable chairs, I stared at the posters on the wall, advertising contraception and crisis pregnancy agencies. I impatiently tapped my feet on the floor, wanting to get this over and done with as quickly as possible.

"Edward Cullen?" someone finally called.

I glanced up and saw a middle aged male doctor smiling at me kindly. I stood up and followed him into the examination room. His white coat swirled behind him ad the thought that I would be wearing one soon gave me some comfort, a smile broke my face.

"That's it" encouraged the doctor, mistaking my smile, "no need to be nervous"

I pulled myself up onto the bed covered in white paper sheets.

"So, what can I do for you today Mr - " he consulted his notes, "Cullen"

"I'd like to get tested for eh, for . . herpes" I said rather lamely, I could feel my the tops of my ears begin to get hot. My only give away that I was ever embarrassed.

"Ok so, I'll ask you to drop your pants and underwear please and stand under the good light when you're ready"

Despite the many, many people who had seen me naked there was something about the doctor's indifferent gaze as I undressed that made me feel self conscious and uncomfortable. I realised that my father probably did this every day, and I someday would too. I felt the doctor's latex covered hands gently touch me. I tried to bring myself to a different place, I tried reading the various posters in the surgery, depicting various body parts. But I already knew all this, I had four years of medical school under me.

I started as I felt a cotton swab run along my length and I started slightly. Finally the doctor got to is feet and pronounced himself finished, he put the swab into a test tube and filed it for lab testing, I knew.

"It's looking more than likely that you have herpes, although I won't know for certain until I get the lab results, the rash associated with it is quite distinctive. And whilst there is no cure, breakouts can be controlled with medication. Any sexual partners you have recently had will also need to be tested"

I nodded, Oh God, how would I tell Bella. I wouldn't, not until I knew for sure.

I redressed, thanked the doctor and left. I could still feel my ears burning as I stepped into the night, the rain was now pelting down and I sprinted across the campus square as quickly as I possibly could, into my car and out of the rain.

My hands were shaking quite badly as I drove home, I was slightly shocked, so when my phone rang I fumbled it and it fell under the seat. I pulled over to retrieve it, still ringing. When I finally managed to find it I saw Bella's name flash up as caller ID, perfect, I could not deal with this now.

"Hello?"

"Hi Edward"

"Hey Bells" I said, trying to keep my voice even and not let the tremors running through my hands reach my voice box, "what's up?"

"Not much, just calling for a chat"

"Right . . So?"

Bella never called just for chats

"How was your day?"

"It was all right yeah, you?"

She knew, she had o.

"Fine, I got my report finished"

"Good, good . . Bells where are you? I can hear traffic" I asked, frowning slightly, I hoped she wasn't out on her this late.

"Oh, I'm waiting for the bus home from the library" she said a little too quickly.

"Don't walk home, it's dark, I don't want you to get hurt"

She ignored that comment.

"So, what did you do this evening while I was at the library?"

Quick, think of a lie "Eh, not much. Went to the movies with Jasper"

"Oh yeah? What did you see?"

Why did she have to pick now to gain an interest in what I did with Jasper?

"Listen, Bells I have to go . . " I said. I already felt guilty for lying to her.

"Ok," her voice was shaky, "Good night, I love you"

"Yeah, good night"

I went to add "I love you too" but the line cut as the wind howled particularly loud.

Funny, that the weather should so mirror my emotions now.

Tumultuous.
