Hello....Hello.....Hello :D
Thank you to......
*'Kallamigk', 'Laney Tate' and 'Wendililil' for their LOVELY reviews...LOVE AND HUGS XxXx*
*cullengirl08* - PLEASE bear with me my lovely...it WILL end up being E/B however sometimes in life you never realise what you have until you are with someone else or you have let that person go completley and I have had a lot of experiences of this – not personally but the majority of my friends have...I stick by it and I am so sorry if you don't like this at the moment but it's just the way my story is going...It WILL work out in the end because I am ME and I love me a happy ending but both Edward and Bella will have their own issues and choices that they must go through before they find each other....PLEAE don't hate me and I thank you for your support with this story heartedly.
*'Rawwr' – Same applies for you little missy...! :D That line in the last chapter wasn't a typo it was a way of describing how Edward smiled underneath Bella's touch...She made him feel better as only she and Esme can when it comes to Edward so instead of putting 'he smiled' which I have put SOOO many times I have lost count :D I put it another way which may have frazzled others as well as yourself I can only apologise for that sweetie.
*'ajayee' – THANK YOU for pointing that out to me...I will dial it down for you and I understand what you have said and have taken it on board so thank you SO much for that and also your support.
Okay guys...Just like to say that my New Years was planned out to be something great until my mum fell asleep two hours before midnight and didn't wake UNTIL 2010 but overall very eventful :D:D!!
Here is chapter 17 as promised....:)
This will be my SECOND to LAST update before I go back to college but I will carry on with this come Thursday so you won't be waiting TOO much longer than you have the past chapters but I will do it all for you ASAP that I can assure you....LOVE YOU ALL.... x x x x
*~Bella~*
Tonight was the first night I hadn't been able to fall asleep at all....My mind was splitting up of two different things – one was my curiosity towards Jessica Stanley...Carlisle had only mentioned his immediate family and now that she was now introduced to me as a 'distant cousin' of mine and also the potential girlfriend of my older brother I felt inclined to make up my own vision about what she looked like...Was she nice? Does she have the potential to make Edward happy? Will I LIKE her? Was I bordering myself onto obsession...Believe me if Edward were to find someone who made him truly happy and make him realise that he is a good person and that there is love out there for everyone then it shouldn't be a problem...Should it?
The other part of my head had been circling around Mike Newton...There was an inkling that I had about him and how he looked at me slightly different to everyone else but I brushed it off...Looking back it seemed obvious that maybe he did like me the way Alice had been gearing towards last night I mean, is that a good thing? I didn't like him back in that way and if there was one thing I was certain of then it would be that but I didn't know whether to feel insulted or complimented if he did harbour certain feelings towards me.
Why would he go for someone like me anyway? I am totally and utterly...Ordinary, I eat, I sleep, I drink, I study and I talk if I didn't have the basic feelings of a human being then I could easily be a robot...Why the hell was I now thinking about robots? Does lack of sleep do this to a person or should I blame puberty hormones? I just wanted to scream at my overactive mind...Shut it up and lock away the key...No way in hell is that happening, Bella.
I had made the living room sofa my little home for the night...Having a book and a drink that I could reach easily and also the opportunity to turn on the television if reading tired me out too quickly. I was on the last chapter of persuasion and I surprised myself at the fact that I could understand what I was reading...I always needed my sleep and there were times when my mother said that I had slept like the dead but I could not switch off my mind tonight and now I would have to deal with it like anyone else.
I sighed quietly and turned the page when I heard footsteps from the direction of the stairs...I carried on with my reading...Not wanting to look up at whoever it would be and look like a rabbit caught in the headlights. I waited until they would get to the last step before acknowledging that there was someone else there with me....Good plan, Bella.
I waited endlessly in the soft light of one of the lamps next to me...Were the stairs really that long? Did I really know anything about what I was thinking or saying right now...No way.
"Bella?" A voice greeted me quietly as I looked up and saw Edward standing at the bottom of the staircase...His hair ruffled and wearing his pyjamas (which consisted of a white t-shirt and a grey pair of trousers) I managed a small smile feeling really awkward that he had found me down here by myself in the middle...Well in all honesty I didn't know what the time was and I couldn't bring myself to care.
"Hi" I whispered back to him.
Edward walked towards me and plopped himself down next to me on the sofa...I released my book from the confines of my hands and used one arm to place on the sofa and prop my head up...There was an awkward silence...A dreary feeling coming from the already silent house I guessed then and there it wasn't dawn yet as no birds were making their usually singing debuts outside as of yet.
"You can't sleep, either" Edward said...It wasn't a question.
"No"
"What's on your mind?"
"I could say the same about you" I said my gaze turning to the side of his head.
"You could....It would be better if we were to discuss your mind though...Mine is a wreck" he replied a slightly pained look on his face.
"I doubt it....It's just stuff....Edward" I said to him in reply...I didn't want to begin to explain where my own mind was going...If I didn't know myself then there was not a chance in hell he would be able to understand me either.
"You should be happy...It's your birthday this week" I stated
Edward groaned slightly but remained silent...If only I could read minds...I am sure I would use it to my advantage in this situation but then again I may find things in Edward's mind that I wouldn't like because everyone isn't perfect.
"Bad subject?" I questioned as he still kept his focus away from me.
"No birthdays are good things...I just have nothing to show for my life right now" He replied.
"You're only sixteen, Edward"
"It doesn't matter how old you are...You can enjoy life and be stable in your own mind and you should be going into being a year older wanting to be a year older" Edward answered still looking solemn and upset.
"You have I don't know however many years left in your life, Edward" I said...Attempting to be of comfort although in my mind I felt like I was destined to fail "I don't know what to say to you, Edward...I wish I could help you but I can't" I added feeling hopeless.
Edward turned to look at me for the first time...His eyes were deep but there was a hint of loss in them...They didn't have the usual sparkle when he laughed or when he was happy and enjoying himself...What made him feel like this? Edward gazed into my eyes for a few moments before scooting over to me on the couch and wrapping his arm around my shoulder...I buried myself into him feeling the soft fabric of his top on my cheek.
"I am sorry, Bella" He said simply.
"Edward you don't need to be sorry...If there was anything I could do to make you feel better than believe me I would"
"You say all the time about how you are there for me...You do know that I am here for you, Bella...I may be in a screwed up place in my own mind right now but I will always have time for my sisters...Emmett never needs me he is big enough to take care of himself" as he spoke Edward played with my hair twiddling the strands lightly between his fingers...I snuggled in closer to his shirt breathing in his natural musky scent. I laughed a little as he finished...It was true Emmett didn't need him..Emmett didn't need anyone to fight his battles for him.
"It may sound weird Edward but you are probably one of the first people I would ever go to if I needed help...I don't want you to feel like I depend on you, though...I would have to go to Alice second because as much as I love her – she can't keep a secret" I replied as he chuckled...His chest rising and falling under my cheek as he did so.
"This is true....What are you thinking about little sis?" He asked.
"Lots of things...I don't know whether I am confused and searching for something or whether I am being paranoid that my mind is playing tricks on me because of my lack of sleep"
"This wouldn't have anything to do with Mike Newton would it"? Edward asked me...I stiffened under his hold....If Alice had said something I swear to God....!
"I have seen the way he looks at you, Bella....Besides I know that twinkle in Alice's eyes when she has found a conquest and believe me she won't stop until she sees it through" Edward added feeling my tension...He moved his hand from my shoulder and rubbed my bicep in downward motions.
"I don't know what to do, Edward...I have seen the way Jessica looks at him when he is talking...I have a feeling that she wants to be with him and I don't want to take that away from her when I don't particularly like him myself" I explained wanting to escape to the confines of my room.
"Can you see yourself with him, Bella...Even a simple picture of the two of you in your mind"?
I thought for a moment...Mike had some nice qualities but I do not know how you are supposed to feel when you like someone more than a friend...Are there obvious signs and is it different for a girl than it is for a man? Oh help me....please.
"How are you supposed to know when you like someone more than a friend?" I asked.
"Your heart starts to race...You think about them more than you think about anything else...When you are close to them you feel like electricity" he started.
"Electricity"?
"Yeah...Like a reaction...A tingle that soars through your whole body when you touch them" he finished.
"I definitely don't have that with Mike"
"I wouldn't be so sure...You may surprise yourself, Bella and he seems like an alright guy"
"Edward...You haven't said one word to him since I joined your family" I stated.
"It's a social thing"
"What?"
"There are certain people you don't come into contact with and Mike and I have never had reason to cross each other paths however if he were to start dating my little sister then things would change" he answered poking me in the arm and causing me to flinch.
"Would you mind, Edward...You would tell me if you didn't think he was the right guy for me wouldn't you?" I asked him.
"It doesn't matter what I think...I don't control you, Bella...You live your own life" he answered confidently.
"That's not answering my question"
"Okay...Yes I would tell you if he was wrong for you...But Bella, you have to understand you are so different to the other people around here and I wouldn't know who would be a good guy for you...I am guessing someone who understands you and treats you well" Edward explained.
"You think Mike could do that?"
"I don't know him, Bella...I can't make that decision because you know him better than I do"
"So what should I do?"
"Leave it for him to make the first move...If he likes you then he will ask you out..If he doesn't well then you have nothing to lose" Edward said and I nodded into his chest breathing out a small sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Edward"
"For what?"
"Being there....Just being there" I answered.
"I will always be here for you, little sis" Edward answered as he placed a kiss on my head.
"What time is it?" I asked Edward as I pulled myself away from his grasp and sat back up my side feeling slightly sore from staying in the same position for a while. Edward glanced at his watch on his wrist.
"Nearly three-thrity" he answered.
"I am going up to see if I can get to sleep now, I will have a good two and a half hours if I can sleep" I said as I grabbed my book that had fallen on the floor and got up from the sofa. "Are you going to try and sleep" I asked Edward as I noticed he was still sitting.
"I will soon" He answered.
"I am not leaving you down here by yourself, Edward"
"I will be fine"
I can't believe that this thought came into my mind...I couldn't help it I wanted to help him.
"Do you want to come and sleep with me, Edward?"
Edward shot his glance up to me...His eyes wide...I cringed away slapping my hand to my forehead as I heard what I had said...I felt the blush rising once again to my cheeks.
"I didn't mean...Not like that....I meant....You can come and try to get to sleep with me...Oh no wait that still sounds wrong" Bella just walk away...Walk away now and he might forget.
"Sorry Bella, you caught me a little off guard there...Thanks for the offer but I will sit this one out...Excuse the pun" he replied with a little smile as I smiled back. I walked back up the stairs to my room..Placing the book in its usual place I climbed in and sunk underneath the duvet once more intentionally moving to sleep on one side in case Edward changed his mind.
I didn't know how long I had been asleep but I was aware of someone climbing into the bed with me...I didn't move but I knew it was Edward...I hoped that he was able to sleep and that was my last thought as I drifted away peacefully into sleep.
I awoke the next morning...instantly turning towards the other side of the bed...It was empty...I wasn't surprised if he had gone back to his own bed in the middle of the night I was known to talk in my sleep and make the OCCASSIONAL snore....Or had slept all the way through and got out early which made sense considering Alice was my usual morning companion when I was getting ready for my day. I gradually made my way out of the bed...My muscles aching a little and walked into the bathroom to freshen myself up.
Alice hadn't come in today which made getting ready a lot quicker for me....That girl can talk...I grabbed my usual bag for school and went downstairs the smell of food instantly hitting my nostrils as I got to the living room...My mouth began to water as I went to see who was in the kitchen.
"Esme?" I exclaimed as she turned to give me a wide smile...Without thinking I dropped my bag on the floor and landed in her arms wrapping my hands around her small shoulders.
"Good morning to you too Bella" she answered with a little giggle as I released my hold on her.
"Sorry...It's just great to see you up and about again" I explained...Esme smiled adoringly and kissed my cheek.
"It feels better to finally be able to do something" she answered "So what will it be for breakfast this morning, Bella...I have made pancakes, Omelettes or French toast" she added.
"Pancakes please?" I answered her with a grateful smile...Hoping that she would notice. I walked over to the table and sat myself down...My place had already been set.
"I couldn't decide whether you liked Apple or Orange juice...Hence the empty glass" Esme said as she peered through the fridge.
"I like both but could I have Apple please?"
"Of course sweetheart"
Esme filled my glass with the juice and put it back in the fridge...I brought the glass up to my lips and sipped a little enjoying the coldness on my tongue and inside my mouth...Esme had now grabbed a plate from the cupboard and began to dig the pancakes out of the pan and onto the plate...I waited patiently until she did hoping that she couldn't hear the rumblings of my stomach...I hadn't eaten since yesterday lunch time in Port Angeles but I would never admit that to Esme she is convinced I never eat enough as it is.
"Morning, mom" The sound of Emmett's roaring voice echoed through the kitchen as Esme turned with my plate of pancakes..Emmett walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek before helping himself to the contents of the fridge. Esme put the plate in front of me and I thanked her.
"Morning Bella-boo"! Emmett said to me as he finally pulled himself away from the fridge...A jar of peanut butter and jelly in his hands.
"Morning, Emmett"
"Emmett what are you doing with those? I have made three types of breakfast here and I haven't been out of bed for a while...Put them away" Esme said in horror as she gawked at the contents in Emmett's hand. Emmett cursed and groaned both jars still in his hand.
"I say hi to you...I kiss you...Then I don't realise you are here! Sorry mom force of habit"
"That's alright sweetheart" Esme smiled as Emmett put the jars away and sat next to me at the table...The pancakes that Esme had made for me had gone down a treat with my suffering stomach..I picked up the last trace of food and drunk the rest of my juice.
"Wow, Bella...Shovel it in" Emmett teased with a smile...I shot him a dirty look with my mouth still full.
"Thank you, Esme" I said getting up and taking the plate and balancing the empty glass on top of it and walking over to the sink to wash them up.
"You put that down Miss Bella...You can't take my washing up away from me anymore" Esme said and I put my hand up and said sorry putting the plate in the sink. I made my way up the stairs not knowing where I was going...I hadn't seen Edward and I wondered whether he was up yet..I knocked lightly on his door before opening it...His room was empty and I didn't want to go and look in the bathroom just in case I put myself into a situation that could not have been avoided.
I wondered standing in his room where he would be...Then it hit me like a thunderbolt...The fourth floor...He had said to me the first time he spoke to me that the fourth floor room was a place where only he ever went..If Edward was going to be anywhere but his own room then it would be up there.
I made my way up to the fourth floor...The size of the house still taking me by surprise as I manoeuvred slowly around the antique statues and large pieces of art that filled the third floor corridor....Before walking up the last flight of stairs...I strained my ear upwards...I remembered that Edward had his piano up there but I didn't hear any playing...Was this really a good idea? Would I be invading his privacy like this?
I risked it and climbed to the fourth floor gazing around the room as the door was open...I found Edward sitting at his piano with the lid down...crouching over the lid with his head in his hands...Please don't be crying...Please don't led Edward be upset...I couldn't bear to see him upset. He didn't move an inch as I walked in gradually pacing towards him.
I lifted my hand and placed it on one of his shoulders...He didn't flinch or make any movements...I didn't know what to do.
"Edward...Are you okay?" I asked him in a quiet voice. Edward still didn't move I pushed my hand harder against his shoulder causing his body to shift forwards on the stool...There was a muffled groan as Edward lifted his face up and swished his body around to face me.
"Bella?"
"Yes...It's me, Edward" I replied.
"Sorry...I must have fallen asleep...Is it time for school yet?" he asked...He looked so vulnerable and almost sweet when his eyes looked all sleepy...His hair was styled better than earlier this morning and he had changed out of his pyjamas so he must have successfully got up and had a shower but just fallen asleep up here.
"There is time...Esme is making breakfast downstairs"
"Oh...I don't feel like eating..Do you want to go into school now...I know it's early but-"Edward started running his hand through his hair.
"No that's fine, Edward" I answered him with a reassuring smile...If he didn't feel like eating then we would both have to minute-watch and to me there was nothing worse than waiting for time to go by. Edward nodded and stretched his whole body out in front of me...I put out a hand near his face and he took it getting up off the stool and standing upright.
Both of us walked hand-in hand to the ground floor, Edward released my hand as he went and said goodbye to Esme after a little disagreement on Esme's part about Edward's choice of not having breakfast ended after she gave him something for the road in a napkin..I waved goodbye to everyone as I took my bag that I had left under the kitchen table as both myself and Edward walked out of the door to Emmett's jeep.
"Why are you driving Emmett's jeep?" I asked Edward as he pushed the button on his key to open it.
"Emmett came back unexpectedly last night...He was supposed to stay around Jasper's for the night...Jasper had offered to give him a lift into school today so I assume that he has carpooled with Jasper...I have to give his car back to him for school...Alice will bring me my Volvo at the end of the day" he replied
"Sorry I asked" I replied my brain feeling a little overworked as Edward shot me a smirk and climbed into the car with me.
Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were waiting at the main front gates of school; All of them beaming and greeting enthusiastically at myself and Edward as we walked towards them.
"Bella...Alice told me that she will meet you by your locker at lunch..She needs to talk to you about something" Rosalie said to me as Edward and Jasper were already into an in-depth conversation.
"Where's Emmett?" I asked her...They were always together apart from last night I had never seen them apart.
"Gym...Training and all that" Rose replied frankly.
"Okay well have a good day, guys" I said to all of them as I made my way into school.
When I got to my locker I opened it to find a little white note attached to the three little slits of the door...I put my bag in my locker and took the piece of paper out with both of my hands and unfolded it.
Bella
I will meet you here at lunch...This is a note in case Rosalie hadn't seen you...I did ask her to pass it on.
See you soon
Alice xx
I groaned at the thought of what Alice could possibly want to talk to me about although in the back of my mind I had a pretty good idea.
"Bella" I turned at the sound of my name to see Mike walking towards me his arm extended in a wave....Think of the devil and he shall appear.
"Hey Mike" I greeted him...Folding Alice's note back up and putting it into my bag.
"How was the rest of your weekend...You know I really had fun at lunch yesterday I mean we should...We should definitely have to do it again sometime" Mike said...I was half-paying attention as I reached for the books I needed for my first two periods.
"Yeah sure" I answered him sweeping the three books from one hand to the other as I closed my locker fully.
"Here's a thought...I mean maybe we could go like...Together you know like on a-" Mike's voice was cut off by the bell for first period.
"Sorry, Mike...I will catch up with you later and you can tell me then" I said as I ran toward my class.
"Sure" Mike's voice was muffled in the distance as I carried on running not having the time to look back.
(Lunch)
Alice smiled at me as she leaned against my locker...I smiled tentatively back and stood in front of her.
"So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about, Alice?" I asked as I gestured for her to move with my hand..She obliged and stepped a little to the side.
"You know that it is Edward's birthday next week?"
"I have some recollection of that" I answered a little sarcastically.
"We are all planning a surprise party for him at our house...Jasper and Emmett have got the cover plan settled but we need you to help you decorate" Alice finished as I threw my books in the locker halting in my tracks.
"A surprise party? Are you sure that's a good idea, Alice?"
"He will love it, Bella...Don't be such a stick in the mud....I have invited other members of my family to join us including Jessica" she finished.
"Jessica...Really?"
"Yes...Maybe he can pluck up the courage to ask her out" Alice chimed...I got the other books I needed for the rest of the day out of my bag "So...Are you in?"
"Yeah of course Alice" I answered as she squealed and pulled me into a hug...I was at an awkward angle considering I had my books in one hand and the other arm around Alice...She let go of me and skipped down the corridor without another word.
"Bella"? I had just closed my locker when I heard Mike's voice from behind me...I turned.
"Hi Mike how was your first lessons?" I asked him putting both arms around my books now.
"Yeah good...Listen Bella I have been meaning to ask you this for a few days now and...So I guess I will just have to come out and say it...That's the best way I think" he stuttered as he rocked back and forth on the spot.
"Let's hear it" I said
"Would you-"
Before I had any recollection of what had happened...Emmett had grabbed me and pulled me up in the air...My gaze now on Mike who was getting further and further away from the corridor I mouthed an 'I'm Sorry' to him...I held onto my books for dear life as Emmett led me further down towards the cafeteria. I didn't shout at him...I didn't do anything it seemed pointless as he wouldn't have put me down even if I begged.
Walking into the cafeteria had earnt us a hell of a lot of stares from other students...I looked down at the floor in embarrassment the blood gradually rushing to the top of my head. Emmett released his hold on me and placed me in a chair.
"Emmett what the hell are you doing?" Rosalie yelled....I turned my head still feeling a little dizzy to see her worried face staring back at me.
"I am...Okay...Just a bit...Dizzy. Emmett I was....Talking....To Mike" I stuttered out.
"I am sure he can wait...Anyway...You know all about this party for Edward right?" He asked.
"Yes"
"You are all for it?"
"Yes I told Alice I was...Where are the others I said looking around at the other three empty seats at the table"
"Dunno...Listen do we really think it is a good idea that Alice invites Jessica"? Emmett addressed me and Rosalie.
"Why would she NOT invite her?" Rosalie answered.
"I don't see a problem with it Emmett" I answered...Not wanting to think about how I may be meeting the person I had been picturing in my mind for the majority of the night. Emmett said nothing else...
"What did Mike want, Bella? Before you were attacked" Rosalie asked nudging Emmett hard in the ribs.
"He wanted to ask...He said he had been thinking about asking me something...I don't know really I wasn't listening that well" I answered.
"Bella...Do you know what that means....He SO wants to ask you out....Oh gosh that's so – and of course you had to go and ruin it didn't you, Emmett!"
"Whoa what is this about Mike Newton asking my little sister out?" Emmett shot his head up..He had obviously just registered Rosalie's words in his mind he was now staring intently at me.
"Emmett...Please it's nothing...Alice and Rosalie have got the wrong end-"I started.
"Bella, we may not be the same age as you but we know puppy love when we see it" Rosalie stated.....Ugh please someone kill me...Now!
"If he wants to ask out Bella, he will have to go through me" Emmett said shooting a determined look at Rosalie who merely rolled her eyes at his remark.
"Emmett stop being so protective...Bella is an adult and she can do whatever she wants" I wondered whether I was actually going to tell the truth of the story to Emmett from my side...We were talking about ME after all.
"Look..Emmett-" I started
"Stop resisting, Bella...It will be good for you" Rosalie said
"No it wouldn't...Mike's a freak"
"He's vulnerable right now, Emmett"
"I don't care; Rose...There is no chance in hell that this is going to happen"
"It is Bella's decision to make"
"She is my little sister..I have a duty-"
"Bollocks Emmett you said that about Alice and look where she is now"
"Bella is not the same"
"She is a woman"
"STOOOPPP"! I yelled the banter between both Rose and Emmett proving too much..My outburst had somehow echoed off the walls in the cafeteria as everyone had turned to face me the room in complete silence. I stood up and ran out of the room...A sharp shooting pain surrounding my stomach...I ran outside the nearest doors of the school and ran towards a section of bushes...I emptied my stomach out violently as I fell to the floor on my knees...gasping at the extent of emotion I was feeling.
A pair of hands wrapped around my hair as I finished...I wiped my mouth, not wanting to see who had seen me vomit on Fork's prized greenery. I leaned back on my knees, sighed and closed my eyes for a moment letting my mind calm down. I was shaking badly and it didn't help with the cold weather.
I opened my eyes again and there was Edward.
"Bella...Jesus, are you alright?" He asked wiping a strand of hair from my face.
"Yes...It was just too much...too much" I had no sense of what I should say....I felt so incredibly drained all of a sudden.
"Come on, Bella...I am taking you home there is no chance in hell you are going back to lessons" he stated.
"No Edward I can't" I choked out.
"I will explain to your teachers that you have left early...I have finished for the day and Emmett has already brought my Volvo back" without having a chance to answer he had stood up and wrapped his arms carefully around my waist and pulled me upwards...He then took one of my arms when I was fully upright and wrapped it around his waist...His arm doing the same with my waist.
Edward and I had gotten outside the main entrance...I saw Mike and Eric standing by someone's car as they both turned to look...Neither came up and said anything and I guessed that it was because I was with Edward. Edward helped me into his car and we drove away from the school in complete silence.
I was laid in bed by Edward when we got home...Carlisle and Esme were both out and the house was strangely peaceful...Edward sat over the covers as I lay underneath them still fully-clothed...He felt my forehead and checked my pulse.
"Have you been taking first-aid lessons?" I choked out and he chuckled lightly...He walked over to the bathroom and occupied himself in there for a few moments before coming back with a towel in his hand.
"Having a doctor for a father has its advantages...What the hell happened today, Bella"? He asked me as he sat back down on the bed...Putting the cold flannel to my forehead I leaned into the soothing coolness of the wet towel.
"I couldn't take it"
"Couldn't take what?" He asked stroking the flannel around my forehead gently.
"Everyone seems to think that Mike and I should be together" I choked out in reply.
"Ahh I can see how that would make you throw up"
"Shut up, Edward...I didn't mean it like that"
"I am sorry sis...Now no way are you leaving this bed...I will go back to school and explain to your teachers why you are not there...I will also get Jasper or Rosalie to call Esme and tell her so she can come back and look after you for me in my absence. Are you up for eating anything?"
I shook my head.
"Okay well...mom will be feeding you when she gets here so just giving you the heads up..Are you sure you are going to be okay on your own for a little while"? he asked me.
I nodded giving him a smile. "Thank you, Edward"
"This isn't the first time I have seen you throw up, remember? Just rest now, Bella" He said getting up...He leant down and kissed my forehead before walking out of the door with the towel in his hand.
I can't recall anything else that happened that night...I had fallen asleep peacefully I just dreaded in the very back of my subconscious about having to face Mike, Rose, Emmett and even Alice tomorrow............
Help.....Someone help me.
A/N - *RUNS AND HIDES* - PLEASE DON'T HATE ME...I know what I am doing....I love you all and I really need to go and hide now.
I will say I don't plan on this story being short.....It will ALL work out in the end....PINKY SWEAR.
