Time passed slowly. I ignored everyone who knocked on my door, including Emmett whom was begging me to let him. I was surprised that even Jasper knocked on my door. I was called down for dinner by Carlisle who said that if I didn't let him know I was in there he would bust the door open. I waited about a minute before answering.

"I'm not hungry, leave me alone"

My voice was quiet and weak, I was falling back to sleep. Instead of fighting it, I let my eyes slip close and was sleeping before Carlisle even responded.

When I woke up my room was pitch black. I was uncomfortable since I was still in the outside clothes. I staggered up and saw I was like ten feet from the floor. The floor was squishy. I looked down in confusion and a little fear. In the scarce light of the moon I saw I was standing on my bed. Automatically I started laughing at my stupidity. I fell onto the bed laughing hysterically. I clutched my sides in pain unable to stop laughing for a long time. By the time I stopped laughing I was gasping for breath. My laugh lingered causing me to laugh a few times quietly.

By the time I struggled out of my clothes I was exhausted and fell asleep on the floor.

"Bella" I heard.

I turned over and groaned. My head pounded as light flooded into my room from my window. I glanced up at my alarm clock and saw that it said 8AM. I was confused, why didn't my alarm go off?

"Bella are you up yet? Let me in, we have to talk" Carlisle's voice called.

My head felt fuzzy, my mouth felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and my stomach was in knots. Sweat covered my skin in a thin layer but I shivered. I looked down and noticed that I was in only a bra and panties. I picked my body up from the floor and it throbbed. My muscles throbbed.

I walked over to my door and unlocked it. As soon as it was unlocked I went into my bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

Carlisle's POV

I heard Bella's lock click signaling that she was letting me in. I opened the door and walked, in shutting the door behind me. The water in her bathroom was running. I sat on the bed and waited for her to come out. When she did she was in a bra and panties. I groaned.

"Put some clothes on please" I said calmly.

"No" She said simply. "What do you want?"

She sat behind me on her bed, leaning against her head board. I knew it was pointless to argue with her so I turned to face her and dropped the clothes subject.

Bella's face was red and her chest moved rapidly as if she was out of breath. I noticed that she was sweating too. Honestly she looked a little sick.

"Are you okay" I asked worriedly, doctor mode was kicking in.

"Yes, just cold" She said.

It was then that I noticed she was shivering. It wasn't cold in here to me. She yawned.

"Did you have trouble sleeping last night?" I asked with a frown.

"Yes" She said quietly.

She was sniffling and I noticed her nose was running.

"I'll be right back"

I ran down and got a thermometer. When I got back up Bella reluctantly let me take her temperature. As I waited I noticed that she was deliberately making sure I didn't touch her which was strange for her. I didn't question it though; maybe she was realizing that it wasn't right. Or maybe she was still freaked out from Emmett and Mike Newton's fight. The thermometer beeped.

"100" I said with a gasp. "I think you're coming down with the flu"

She shrugged and laid down with her back to me. I left and got her a cup of orange juice and some medicine.

"Here" I said handing it to her. "Cold medicine and sleeping pills so your body can fight it off"

I watched her swallow the pills and wash it down with the juice. I took the cup away and sat at the foot of her bed.

"Can you tell me what happened yesterday?" I asked as she yawned.

"About what" I asked. "When you yelled at me or when I went to school?"

I sighed. Her voice was soft but I could tell she was still a little bothered by what happened in the car. Honestly I was too. It was hard to bring myself to stop her yesterday morning. She really got to me and I almost let her continue.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you" I said. "It isn't right for you to touch me like that or for me to let it happen. You are still a child whether you see it or not and I am a grown man."

"No one cares about that" She said with a thick voice. "You just don't want me. I'm not good enough"

Suddenly she hid her face in her pillow and her body shook with sobs. Guilt consumed me. I moved to the top of her bed and stroked her hair soothingly.

"No Bella, that's not it" I whispered. "You are perfect no matter what. It just isn't right"

She took a few minutes to calm down.

"You're lying" She finally whispered, not looking at me. "You don't want me"

I looked at her with a frown. She didn't see how perfect she was. She didn't see what other men saw in her.

"Not like that" I said.

I paused and thought over what I just said. In a moment of horror I realized that I didn't know how true that statement was.

"Why" She whispered holding in a sob. "Am I not good enough for you?"

I looked down at her body again unwillingly. Her face was still hidden from me. She was very emotional at the moment and I didn't know what to do. It would take for me to sleep with her to show her how wrong that statement was and I WOULD NOT let that happen.

"Go away" She finally said. "I don't feel good and I want to be alone"
