Chapter 14: The Book
Isabella placed Edward's boxers into the bag with his PJs. He was in the adjoining restroom getting dressed to go home. Although Bella had disagreed, the doctors had decided Edward was fit enough to go home as long as he rested well. Edward had grumbled at first about deadlines and very late articles but the realisation of spending another week inside the hospital minus his laptop won him over. Bella went round the other side of the bed opening the draws of his bedside cabinet for his medicines. Edward was coming home with two more tablets to take alongside his chemotherapy, the first scheduled within a week of his release. Bella had written it on their calendar in the apartment where it was to be administered.
'Edward do you need any help?' She asked knocking on the door. He was still weak after his attack but not as much as the first few days Carlisle when had to help him in the restroom every time. Edward feared he'd be sent home with a commode; something that Emmett found highly amusing. He'd spent a day on Edward's wheelchair doing impressions of what his friend would look like. That was until Edward 'accidentally' knocked over a glass of water causing Emmett to hurdle towards a wall and crash.
'I'm fine.' He called 'My zippers broken.' He groaned.
'They're so old and worn out that's why.' Bella replied as she came across a note pad and pen within the draw 'You need a new pair.' She said absentmindedly. The note pad had her full attention due to 'THE LIST' carved into the front. She flipped it open as he ranted about the perfect fit and late deadlines leaving him penniless.
Exaggeration she thought to herself as she paid enough attention to get the gist of his rant. She blinked at the contents of the first page; there was a list dating back to his first chemotherapy session.
She read page after page finding a list for each week since that day; most of the things he had done already but to each list there was at least one thing he didn't get chance to. They were trivial things like eat some candy from when he was a child or tell one of Emmett's secrets. That Bella burned into her mind; Emmett's birthday was approaching and they needed something to embarrass him. About midway through the book she came across his list for the week coming. She placed her thumb on the page and shut the book. Should she read it or not, was she prying into Edward's thoughts?
Oh Bella just get on with it Her mind sighed You can help him make sure he does everything he wants to...
But what if he doesn't want me to know? What if they're special plans he has for me? Her conscious argued
Pussy Her mind heckled along with several other names before she gave in and flipped the book open to the page.
Plan Emmett's birthday party
Make Bella take me shopping for his present
Get Rosalie and Emmett together
Bella blinked reading the last line just as Edward walked into the room.
'I just pinned it together with a cocktail stick. I sat on the toilet but it didn't poke into me so it's all go- Bella what are you doing with my book?' He sounded a mixture of annoyed and hurt. Her head snapped up to him.
'Rosalie and Emmett like each other?' Bella asked in shock still holding the black pad. Edward sighed and nodded.
'She'll go back to hating me if she knows you know but she's had the hots for him since I first brought him round and Emmett admitted he liked her at my birthday party last year when he was wasted.'
She was silent for a moment trying to connect the dots but never did they seem to like each other.
'You really want to help them?' She asked 'Without asking.'
Edward sighed and moved to the door of his room 'I want them to each have someone when I go.'
