Hey. Thanks to those of you who reviewed and voted in my poll. It's still up and will be there for a little while. I don't have much to say so here's your chapter.
BPOV
I am currently pacing inside the guest room that Alice insisted I use. Alice also insisted that she go shopping and buy me some new clothes. Alice also insisted that she go shopping and buy me some new clothes for the time I'm staying here. I told her just to pick up some clothes at my house, but no. She had to go out and get me new clothes. I think it's her way of coping that her two brothers are very sick. I can't blame her.
I would be with Edward right now but he wanted some time to think alone, without my constant pleading. I couldn't blame him. My voice even started sounding annoying to me; I just really wanted Emmet and Edward to get better.
"Bella," I heard Edward call, "can you come here. I need to speak with you." As he finished his sentence I heard him try to muffle a scream. My poor Edward was in pain.
I walked over to his room, wondering the whole time, what Edward wanted to talk about. Right before I knocked on the door, Edward told me to come in. Damn vampire hearing. After I opened the door, I pulled a chair over to Edward's bed, so we could face each other comfortably.
"What is it Edward? Are you alright? Well, I know you aren't completely fine, but if you would just drink from me you would be. Alright, I'm rambling. But really, what do you need?" I sounded like an idiot, but I was worried. I needed Edward to be alright.
"Relax Bella. I just wanted to talk to you about me drinking from you. I'm really not sure that I can change you so soon. I don't think I'm ready." He looked like he would be crying if he could.
"I'm sorry to put you in that position." I didn't like seeing him sad.
"It's all right. The only thing that matters right now is you. I need to make a decision and I will have one by tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Edward." After I finished saying that, I kissed him deeply on the lips. I traced his bottom lip with my tongue, before I pulled away from his luscious lips.
"Why did we have to stop?" Edward had this adorable pout. I kissed him chastely on the lips and his pout went away.
"Well, since you sick, I don't want you to strain yourself but when you get better, I'm almost all yours."
"Alright, it is partially my fault for not curing myself fast enough, but I'll be healthy soon enough."
Ever since that day in the meadow, I have been the one keeping to the boundaries. It seems as if Edward has dropped them completely.
"Edward, scoot over. I want to lie down with you. By the way, where is Emmett?" I hadn't seen him. They moved Edward back to his room, but I wasn't sure where Emmet was.
"He went outside for some fresh air. He thought it might make him feel better."
"Oh, well, at least we don't have to listen to all of his comments, even though some of them are funny." Emmett's comments were usually funny, but after awhile you got tired of hearing them.
I lied down next to Edward, and he wrapped his frigid arm around my waist. My head was in the crook of his neck. We sat there in a comfortable silence; ever so often Edward would kiss the top of my head. It felt so right to be in his arms. I can't wait till he gets better and hopefully I'll be changed.
"I love you, Edward. I hope you never forget that."
"I love you too, Bella. I couldn't and wouldn't ever forget that."
We stayed there for what seemed like moments but was, in actuality, hours. I heard, what I assumed to be Alice's car pull up in the drive way. I knew she had blood for Edward and clothes for me.
"I think I'm going to leave the room while you feed. Alice, will probably want me to try on clothes anyway." I didn't want to make Edward feel bad, but I really didn't want to see him feed. If blood freaked me out, imagine what would happen if I saw someone drinking it. I shuddered at the thought.
"Alice," I said. I knew I didn't need to scream. "Edward is in his room. If he needs to move, you'll probably have to carry him." As I finished my statement, Alice came bounding up the stairs with her hands full of clothes.
"Don't try on your clothes yet. After Edward feeds, I want you to do a fashion show for him, me, and anyone else who wants to join. I think it would cheer everyone up. Don't worry, Rose and I will be trying on clothes as well."
"I don't know, Alice. That's not really my thing."
"Well too bad. You just are going to have to get over your little fear. Here are your bags, you can go look at the clothes I bought." She handed me the bags and I walked to my room. What did I get myself into?

When Bella left the room I felt like part of me was missing. Alice was currently talking to Bella, but I couldn't hear a word. I wish I could read minds right now. Maybe I should just drink from Bella. But, what if she regrets it. But, she really wants this and will probably get what she wants anyway. The way her big brown eyes pleaded with mine, I could barely resist changing her right then and there. I was pulled out of my little argument, when Alice walked in the room.
"Hey, big brother. I brought you two deer. It was the only thing I could fit in the car so, either you walk downstairs yourself or I carry you. Which one will it be?" Alice had a devilish look, like she knew what was going to happen.
"I think I'll try walking, thank you."
"Okay, Eddie. You go ahead and walk." What was Alice planning? I wished so much that I could read her thoughts right now. I got up and almost screamed in pain. I'm sure my face was contorted in agony. The worst was the first step and it got mildly easier after that. About half way down the stairs a spasm of pain hit me and I almost fell, but Alice caught me and carried me the rest of the way.
"See, Eddie. I knew what was going to happen."
"Alice, I let it slide once that you called me Eddie, but I stop." I growled the last part.
Alice set me down on a chair in the backyard. Emmet was in the one next to me. He seemed to be in just as much pain. Soon, I smelt the deer. It smelled wonderful. More so than usual. If I could have run I would have ripped the carcass from Alice's hands. When she brought the delicious animal to my mouth, I grabbed it from her hands and pierced the skin with my teeth. The blazing, thick liquid, flowing down my throat and all over my body, making me feel warm and almost satisfied. It wasn't human blood after all. I drained this deer quickly as Alice handed me the next. After draining the animal, I felt much better and even a little stronger. I looked over at Emmet. He looked content, not his normal, goofy self, but content. I think I will drink from Bella, and let Emmett drink from her as well. It would go twice as fast, and I don't think she would go back on her word about marrying me. I'm still not sure. Maybe I shouldn't change her. Maybe she would be angry we weren't married first, since she was the one holding the boundaries up now. I'll have to make a decision by tomorrow morning. I was again pulled out of my argument by Alice.
"Hey, Edward. I have a surprise for you inside." What was she talking about? Before I had time to ask, she hoisted me up and carried me to the living room. What I saw kind of shocked me.
Hey, wanna take a guess at what he saw? Leave it in a review. Even if you don't leave a review and vote in my poll. I'm still giving previews. By the way, the week after next I'll be gone. I'll post one more chapter before then. TTYL.
