Edwards Pov
Bella was not going to make it. At least not as human. Carlisle doesn't even seem to know what is wrong with her. I look at Bella and the look she gives me lets me know she senses fear in me. Carlisle coughs and I turn toward him.
" What's wrong?" Bella asks. I glance at Carlisle and I feel angry when I hear her ask. I keep my eyes on Carlisle, but I can feel Bella staring at me.
"Bella you don't have the flu. The truth is we have no clue what you have or what could happen" I glare at Carlisle; his voice was so emotionless that it could scare Bella. I look toward my Bella and her eyes never leave mine.
I gently touch Bella, I move my arm slowly up and down on her soft, delicate arm. I can't look at her though. The pain of the possibility of losing her is constantly in my mind.
" Edward why won't you look at me?" Bella's voice is so soft and I sense fear in her whisper. The tears are falling from her eyes at a rapid rate. It rips at my heart like a thousand years of pain.
" I can." I say promptly, I catch her eye for a short second. I can feel myself tense, all ease I ever had with her, instantly gone.
" Bella, this is really hard for Edward." Carlisle speaks suddenly. I look at Bella from the corner of my eye and I see her expression change. I give a silent sigh. Bella looks at me again. " Its hard for us all."
I watch as Bella cuddles into a ball on the couch. I force a small, but real sympathetic smile. All I want is my Bells to be off the couch that she has been on for days. I gently touch her hand.
" Its going to be ok Bella, love" I whisper trying to believe it myself. " You and I will be ok" I hold her gently in my arms. She is so breakable but yet so loveable, I cant live without the girl in my arms. Her tears fall faster and faster.
"I love you Edward,"
" Love you too Bella" I whisper and softly I begin to hum her song. In a few minutes Bella is sleeping in my arms, peacefully.
