"Come one, Bella! It's just a horror movie. It's not even gonna be that scary. Me and Jazz have already seen it and it's not that scary," my cousin, Emmett, told me.
We were standing outside of the movie theatre in Port Angeles because it was 'date night'. Great (hear my sarcasm?). When I say we, I mean me, my two annoying cousins who, despite everything, I still love, and all of our partners.
Emmett was trying to convince me to watch a horror movie, despite knowing that they scared the shit out me. Edward, my gorgeous boyfriend, had his arms wrapped around waist and his head rested on my shoulder. Emmett's girlfriend, and Edward's adopted sister, Rosalie, was holding onto Emmett's bicep, trying to control him I guessed. While they were trying to calm me and Emmett down in their own way, my other cousin, Alice, and her boyfriend, Edward and Rosalie's adopted brother, Jasper, were trying hard not to laugh.
"If you've already seen it, why do you need to watch it again?" I yelled at him, making Edward flinch behind me. He hated it when I shouted.
"'Coz it's really good. And Edward, Rose, Alice and you haven't seen it."
"Well, I'm not watching it! And how do you know the others wanna watch it?"
"I kinda wanna watch it. Jazz told me it's really good!" Alice squeaked, jumping up and down while Jasper tried to control her, with no luck.
"Same. I wanna watch it," Rosalie agreed, looking at me from under her eyelashes, a trick that works on everyone, including me, but not when I'm in this mood.
"Jazz?"
"I don't mind watching it again; it was really good."
"Eddie?"
I heard Edward grit his teeth. "Don't call me fucking Edward!"
"Okay, okay, sorry. But do you wanna watch this movie or not?"
"Um, well, I…well…" he stuttered.
"Just answer Edward!"
"I wouldn't mind watching it," he said in a quiet voice.
It was silent until Emmett shouted. "Yes! She's outnumbered! Ha! We're watching the horror! Yay, yay, yay!"
"Carry on and I'm taking my answer back," Rosalie told him. "Now, let's go buy our tickets and go in, it's winter in case you haven't noticed and Alice dressed me in a skirt!" And with that, she walked to the ticket booth.
Ten minutes later, we all had our tickets and were seated in the theatre. Edward had tucked me under his arm so that he was "protecting me for when the movie started". I really did love that man.
It was about five minutes before the movie was due to start when I sensed someone sitting behind me. Then, everything happened quickly. I suddenly got a whip of something and I felt my stomach churn. I ripped myself out of Edward's arms and made a run out of the theatre.
Luckily, I made it to the bathroom without tripping or throwing up on the way. I slammed the door opened, making two teenage girls - who were a year or two younger than me - scream. I ignored them and ran into one of the cubicles, not having time to lock it before I began throwing up everything I had eaten in the past week.
I felt some people squeezing into the cubicle with me but I didn't pay enough attention as I was trying to keep my long, mahogany hair out of my face as I threw up. Sensing my struggle, one of the people next to me moved my hair and gathered it up while someone else (Rosalie - I could tell by the long nails) rubbed my back.
"Excuse me," I faintly heard someone saying, "this is the girls bathroom; you three can't be in here."
"Shut up," a deep voice, Emmett's, boomed. "Get out!"
I'm guessing they left because, the next thing I knew, Rosalie and Alice let go of me and Edward began holding back my hair and rubbing my back.
Finally, I stopped throwing up, after what felt like forever. I stood up, with the help of Edward, and flushed the toilet. The next thing I knew, I was being lifted off of the floor and carried to where the sinks were, where I was then sat down on the counted. Jasper handed me a cup of water, which I sipped and spitted into the sink. Rosalie handed me a pack of gum, which I took out two and popped them into my mouth.
"You okay?" Alice asked me.
I nodded. "Yeah. It must have been something I ate. I'm sure it's nothing."
"Are you sure? You were puking for forty minutes straight. That's not normal."
"Emmett's right. Maybe we should drive you to dad. He could check you out," Rosalie suggested.
"I think we should just let Bella rest. If she still feels this way, she can go to dad tomorrow. It might pass," Edward said as he touched my forehead with the back of his hand, feeling to see if I had a fever.
The others nodded and Edward went to lift me off of the counter when I stopped him.
"I can walk," I told him as I hopped off. I stumbled a bit, but that was normal for me.
Edward nodded and put his arm around me, leading me out of the bathroom and towards the front of the building. When we were outside, I instantly felt better than I had in an hour and began breathing better.
"You okay?" he asked me, his thumb rubbing comforting circles in my hip as we walked to his car.
I nodded and nuzzled closer to his side. "Yeah. The fresh air is really nice. Suddenly I'm glad we live in Washington," I told him with a laugh.
He chuckled and let go of me, which is when I realized that we were at the car. He opened the passenger door for me, like always, and, when I was seated, closed to door and ran around to the drivers side. When we were both belted, he started the engine and made his way back to Forks.
About twenty minutes into the hour-long drive, I began feeling nauseous again.
"Pull over," I told him, covering my mouth.
He put the indicator on, warning other drivers that he was pulling over and stopped the car at the side of the highway. I unbuckled my belt and opened the door, just managing to get away from Edward's 'baby' before I started puking again.
Once again, Edward held my hair back and rubbed my back until I was finished, which, thankfully, only lasted twenty minutes. When I was finished, Edward pulled a pack of gum out of his pocket and gave two to me.
"Sorry I don't have any water, baby," he told me as he helped me up.
"It's okay, babe. I'll drink a pint when I go home. Plus I need to clean my teeth."
"Why don't you just use the toothbrush you have at mine, it's closer," he suggested as he helped me into the car and closed the door.
I waited until he was seated to answer. "Okay. Hurry then 'coz my mouth feels horrible. But don't drive too fast; I have a feeling that's what made me nauseous."
He nodded and we continued to make our way back to Forks.
When we finally pulled up his driveway, a half hour later, I was eager to get inside and brush my teeth. Edward shut off the car and walked around to open my door before locking it and leading me inside. When he opened the glass front door and we climbed the stairs to the kitchen and small living room, I saw Carlisle, Edward's dad, sitting on the light charcoal couch reading the paper while Esme, Edward's mother, was standing in the kitchen in front of the hobs, where she had something in a pan with the lid on top of it.
"Good afternoon, kids. I thought you were going to the movies for date night?" she asked us with a frown on her beautiful face.
That's one thing I had learnt about the Cullen's from an early age; even though none of them were related by blood, they were beautiful.
Carlisle had bright blonde hair which was slicked back, bright blue eyes that were so soft and caring and pale skin, but not as pale as other people. His was not naturally pale, he had just lost the tan he had while growing up in New York. Like his eyes, he was caring and kind, always welcoming everyone that walked into his life, without judging them before getting to know them like other people, myself included.
Esme was as beautiful as her husband. She was naturally pale, originally having come from Chicago, until she went to University in New York where she met Carlisle. She had soft, Jade green eyes that stood out with her skin. Her hair was caramel colored, hanging down just past her shoulders in soft waves.
Their adopted children were just as beautiful, which made them fit into the family perfectly. Rosalie and Jasper could pass as twins, and many people assumed they were until corrected; they both had blonde hair (although Rosalie's was more Carlisle color and Jasper's more honey blond) and icy blue eyes. Both were pale as they were both originally from Washington. They were also both tall, Rosalie standing at five foot eight and Jasper at six five. And then there was Edward, the reincarnation of Adonis himself. With his bright, Emerald green eyes that could pierce into my soul and his stylish mess of bronze hair on his head that stuck up in every which way, it was easy to see why I fell in love with him, and that's just his looks. Unbelievably, that paled to his personality, which was caring and kind like Carlisle's, passionate and loving like Esme's, calming and kind like Jasper's and protective and loyal like Rosalie. He was, in my opinion, the most perfect person in the world.
"Bella was sick so I bought her home. She's just gonna brush her teeth."
"Do you want me to check you out, sweetie?" Carlisle asked me with a concerned frown on his face.
"No, I'm sure it's nothing. I probably just ate something funny. I'll come see you tomorrow if I'm not feeling any better."
"Okay. Well, if you go clean your teeth and then you two can have dinner with us because, as always, Esme always made more than enough for the two of us." We all, except Esme, laughed.
I turned and went to walk away from them to go upstairs when I smelt something that made me feel sick again. I turned around quickly to see that Esme had lifted the lid off of the pan and was now stirring it, making the smell flow over to me.
I covered my mouth and ran to the downstairs bathroom, not getting the chance to close the door before I was bent over to the toilet puking my guts up. For the third time, I felt Edward with me but I could also sense Esme and Carlisle standing at the door. When I was done, I cleared my mouth with water and mouthwash and flushed the toilet.
"I guess dinners off the table," Esme said with a small smile.
"Sorry, Esme. It's nothing personal; you know I love your cooking."
She came forward and hugged me. "I know, sweetie."
"I'll go get your toothbrush and then I'll take you home," Edward told me and he walked out of the bathroom to get the toothbrush I leave in his en suit.
Carlisle also walked out with him to turn dinner off so it wouldn't burn and to get me some ice cold water to sooth my mouth, which was burning after all of the throwing up I had done. He walked back in with my drink and set it down next to me on the counter. Edward walked in then with my light blue tooth brush. They watched as I cleaned my teeth and then, when I was finished, downed the water until it was just ice cubes left. Edward hugged me and I rested my chin on his shoulder.
"You ready to go home?" he asked me.
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm drained. And these jeans are really uncomfortable."
He chuckled. "Well be thankful for two things. One, you can get into your sweats in ten minutes, and two, at least Alice put you in jeans and not a skirt like she did Rose."
"Good point."
We walked out of the bathroom and saw Esme and Carlisle in the kitchen. Thankfully one of them had covered the pan so that I wouldn't be sick again. They turned to face us and smiled when they saw us walk into the room.
"You feeling better, honey?" Esme asked me.
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm just really tired right now. I think I'm gonna go straight to sleep when I get in."
They both nodded. "Bells, I think you should come to the hospital tomorrow so I can check you out. Whether your feeling better or not, I just want to make sure you're okay. So, will you come please?" Carlisle asked.
He knew what he was asking of me because he knew that I hated hospitals with a passion. I also knew that he would never ask if he thought it was serious so I nodded. He smiled at me, which I returned, before hugging them both before being led out of the house by Edward.
Ten minutes later, Edward pulled up to my house. He climbed out of the car and opened my door, helping me out also. When trekked up to the front door, which was locked as Emmett and Alice were still on their dates and my dad was fishing (which he always did on a Saturday). I turned around to face Edward after I had unlocked and opened the door.
"Do you wanna stay?"
"I would, but you need to get some sleep and I'll just distract you."
I blushed and smiled widely, remembering last time. He pulled me into a hug and kissed my sweetly on the mouth before releasing me and making his way to his car.
Before he got in, he turned around and shouted, "I love you. Sleep well, love."
"Love you too, baby," I yelled before closing the door.
I made my way upstairs and got changed out of the Manchester super skinny jeans, Mary Portas knit sheer cardigan, level 33 seamless tank and Brown UGGS that Alice had made me wear to the movies. I was lucky, like Edward said, because she usually dresses me up much more OTT. I brushed through my hair and put it up in a bun before wiping off my makeup. After cleaning my teeth again, I closed my curtains and climbed into bed. Making sure that my phone was on charge on my bedside cabinet, I turned off of my lap and rested my head on my fluffy pillow, falling asleep straight away.
So, what did you think of the first chapter. Review please!
