Bella's Problem
I was in gym watching Mike's one man volley ball squad when IT happened. Crap. As soon as gym was over I rushed to the bathroom before getting changed. Crap Crap Crap! It was that time of month again. I wanted to groan. I could already feel a cramp coming on. As soon as I was done in the bathroom I went and got changed in the locker room.
As I exited the locker room I saw Edward leaning against the wall like always. I walked over to him slowly trying not to make any unnecessary movements that would cause my cramp to get worse. I just wanted to go home, take some pain killers, and lay down. Unfortunately I had to deal with Edward first and this cramp was not putting me in a good mood.
Edward seemed to notice my cautious movements and immediately started inspecting me for any injuries I might have acquired during gym. "What's wrong," he asked.
"Nothing," I replied harshly… like I said I was in a bad mood.
He looked at me strangely and opened his mouth to say something but decided against it. I ignored him and started to walk toward the parking lot. I wanted to get home fast but moving to quickly was painful at the moment. Edward easily caught up and walked by my side. When we got to the car he opened the door for me and helped me in. Before I could comprehend it, he was on the driver's side and was starting the car.
"Is there a reason to your bad mood?" Edward questioned me.
"You haven't noticed yet?" I asked him.
I was kind of surprised he hadn't smelled anything (especially with his vampire senses). Edward looked at me as if trying to figure out what I meant by that last comment, but it didn't look like he was finding the answer to my mood change. Suddenly the pain below my waist got worse and I involuntarily groaned. I tried shifting into a more comfortable position but nothing worked. I put my hand on my stomach to try and lessen the pain. It helped, but not too much.
Edward noticed my new position. "Are you alright?" Edward questioned.
"How do you expect me to be alright? I'm sitting here in pain Edward." I exclaimed. I realized too late that those were a bad choice of words.
"What happened? Did you fall and hurt yourself? Did Mike do something?" Edward asked angrily, saying the last question with malice. His eyes were slowly turning black, no doubt thinking the worst possible scenario had happened.
"No Edward. Mike didn't do anything but can you please hurry up and get me home."
Edward looked at me questioningly but proceeded to speed up. For once I was happy that he drove to fast. Within the next 5 minutes we arrived home. Edward proceeded to help me out of the car and I quickly rushed inside to the medicine cabinet in the kitchen. Edward followed me suspiciously.
"What are you doing?"
"Taking a Midol," I responded in a somewhat cheerful tone at the thought of the pain going away.
As I grabbed the pill bottle Edward seemed to finally understand what was going on. As I struggled to open the container Edward got me a glass of water.
"Thanks." I said as I continued to wrestle with the bottle of Midol.
I was starting to get irritated with the fact that a simple plastic container was keeping me from relieving my cramp. With one final tug I successfully got the lid off of the Midol. Unfortunately I pried the lid off a little to hard and all the pills in the bottle flew everywhere. I groaned in frustration and threw the now empty bottle to the kitchen floor.
Edward quickly picked up all the pills and put them back in the bottle. He then handed me one of the pills, while trying to hide his amusement. I grabbed the Midol from his hand and swallowed it with the help of the water.
"Is there anything that you need," Edward asked sympathetically, although there was still a glint of humor in his eyes.
I simply glared at him, and then proceeded to stomp off to the living room where I plopped down on the couch. Edward followed silently, seeming to have noticed my sudden mood change. He grabbed the remote off the coffee table and sat down next to me, while pulling me closer. I leaned my head on his shoulder and snuggled into his embrace. I was paying no attention to what was on the television.
I started shifting as my cramp got worse. How long does it take for a Midol to kick in anyway?
Edward looked at me worriedly as I continued to change my position. Suddenly my cramp got much worse. Normally a heating pad would have made me feel better, but at the moment I was too hot. I grabbed Edward's hand and put it on my lower stomach. I sighed as I felt instant relief.
"Um… Bella? What are you doing," Edward questioned while trying to pull his hand away.
"Please stop moving, you'll make my cramp worse," I replied.
Edward stopped trying to pull his hand away and I felt his muscles relax.
"He's probably enjoying the warmth," I thought to myself.
I snuggled more into his embrace and fell into a light sleep. I barley noticed when I was lifted and put into my own bed.
How'd you like it? I'm thinking about writing it from Edward's point of view. Please review! Constructive criticism is appreciated.
