Chapter 6. I will get better.

Bella's POV.

I woke up not feeling an ounce better. I was still achy everywhere, my stomach missing food, lets not forget about the coughing every 5 minutes, I was just so tired of this. I glanced at the clock. It read 12:01 PM. I then glanced over to the glass wall, but it was covered up by "the privacy curtain". I sighed angrily.

Just when I was about to call the nurse Heather walked in and opened the curtain. She smiled back at me and said, "Edward is here to see you," before she left. A huge smiled planted across my face. Then I remembered that is the only thing he could do. See me. I mean we could talk but I missed kissing him, holding his hand, and falling asleep in his arms.

I smiled when I saw him. I slowly sat up and hung my legs over the bed getting ready to walk over to him. I slowly stood up and balanced my weight on my IV thing. I hobbled over there slowly and sat in the chair that was already placed by the glass wall.

He smiled and said, "Hello, Love." I smiled back.

"I love you." I whispered knowing fully well he could here me.

"I love you too." he replied. I could tell he was trying his best to hide all the pain it caused him to see me like this but I could still see it.

"I am going to get better okay? I promise. I will get better for you. I'm sorry." I whispered.

"Don't you dare be sorry. You have nothing to be sorry for." He said.

"Yes I do."

"No you don't."

"Yes I do."

"Then what? What are you sorry for?"

"I'm sorry for getting sick," he was about to argue but I ignored him and continued, "I'm sorry for causing you this much pain, I'm just sorry." I felt a silent dreaded tear run down my cheek. I starred down at my feet.

"Bella, you do not need to be sorry at all. I am serious. This is no ones fault. Not even my own. Please don't cry." I could hear the sadness in his voice.

We sat there in silence for a very long time. Well it seemed like a long time. I continued to just look at my feet. Then a loud thump that brought me back to earth. I looked to where the sound was. Edward was there collapsed on the floor. I flipped out. Then the last thing I remember was screaming and falling on the cold hospital floor.

***One week later***

It has been another week. Another long horrible hopeless week of worrying. For one I have gotten worse. That's all I have been doing is getting worse. Apparently Edward was "out of town". That is what Carlisle said I didn't believe him though. I don't know why. Maybe it was because Edward would never leave when I was in this kind of condition. Maybe it had something to do with the fact he collapsed in front of me. Or maybe that was just an act and he really did leave town. Maybe he was tired of seeing me so weak and sick. Maybe he….didn't…..care about me anymore. Memories of when he left me rushed into my head. I quickly erased them. He promised he would never leave again. I believe him. I had a strange feeling that everyone was lying to me. I sighed.

A few minutes later Carlisle came in with an expression that was somewhere between confusion, stress, and pain. I began to talk but he interrupted me, "Bella, I have not been completely truthful with you the past week."

"I had a feeling you weren't." I admitted.

"Edward isn't out of town. He's," He paused for a long miserable moment, "Bella, please do not get freaked out when I say this…"

That's when I started to worry and freak out. I did exactly what he said not to do. I could hear my heart beat speed up because of the heart monitor.

"What's wrong with him?" I said when he didn't continue.

"He is sick, with what you have. You don't have the Swine."

For a while I couldn't comprehend what he said. Edward couldn't get sick. Or could he?

"How? Wh-what? I don't understand." I stuttered.

"I barely understand it myself. All I know, is Edward and you are sick with the same virus. The good news is you get to be with him." I had to smile at that.

"How is he sick? How bad is he?" I had so many questions.

"Bella, he isn't as sick as you, I don't know how he or you got sick. I promise I will find out. I will cure both of you." He replied completely confidant matter.

"Is it contagious?"

"I don't think so, because I don't have it, and I have been around you and Edward a lot lately."

"Well that's good." I sighed.

"Yes….," he paused for a moment. "Well in the morning I am going to bring Edward here."

I smiled. "Okay."

"Sleep now." he said.

"I will try." I said truthfully.

(A/N I was thinking about ending it here but I'm not mean =D)

That what I did. I tried to sleep. I failed miserably. It seemed like my world was falling down. Although it usually was. I sighed. Nothing made sense. I hoped I would just wake up and this would all be a dream.

I wondered how bad Edward was. If he did have this virus as bad as me then how bad was he? How bad am I? I thought about when he collapsed. I tear ran down my cheek. What if we were both slowly dying. I sob ripped through my chest.

"Please, don't let him die…" I whispered to anyone that cared. A new sob ripped through my chest, because it hurt to cry.

'Don't let him die. Let me die." Another sob.

I sat there and sobbed long painful hours. I eventually cried myself to sleep.

"Bella, I'm dying." Edward said.

"No you can't die!" I sobbed.

"Well I am." he admitted

"No!" I fell to the floor.

Then Edward slowly faded away.

"NO!" I screamed gasping for air. Tears flowed down my cheeks.

"Bella?" I turned my head immediately. Edward was lying on a bed next to me. It took me a while to take it all in. He looked terrible, beautiful but unhealthy. He looked skinnier, if that was even possible, his eyes were dark black. I could see his eyes were full of pain.

"Edward." I whispered. He smiled. I reached out for him instinctively. He took my hand and slowly walked over to me. He could barely walk. Another tear ran down my cheek. It hurt me to she my strong vampire boyfriend so weak. He laid on the hospital bad with me. I put my head on his chest and cried. He wrapped his arms around me as tight as he could without hurting me.

A weird noise came from Edward. Then I realized he was crying tearless cries.

And there we lied together in each others arms crying.
