1The breakdown : What happens when Bellas truck breaks down?
It was currently raining in Forks, what else is new ? Edward and the rest of the cullens minus Carlisle was out camping. It was always hard for him to leave , but when your fiancé looks at you with black eyes and licks his lips. There is a serious problem. I had to get Emmett and Jasper to get him away from me and to the couch.
After Alice brought him a squirrel he apologized and said how sorry he was. I knew he was pushing the limits it had been 3 ½ weeks since his last hunt. I should have told him to go. He said that was going to be to take a extra long hunting trip , and sorry again.
I told him it was my fault . He didn't want to argue, but I knew I was right. Alice pulled out her phone and called Jacob. Jacob the one person that the cullens don't hate but defiantly don't like. I couldn't believe she actually was calling him.
"Jacob?" "It's Alice and I know I don't call you but we need a place to keep Bella safe for a while, while we are gone." I sighed. I don't understand why I have to go to Jakes. I don't even know if he is still mad about the whole fiancé thing still. I can take care of myself. That's it I don't have to go, yea I'll show them who in charge. I will run away.
"It won't work Bella. Carlisle will just find you . He is staying because of his shift. He can be there in a minute so don't try anything." Why can't I just go back to my house? Stupid persistent vampires. " Ok, thanks Jacob." Alice said then closed the phone and put it down.
" You are leaving in 10 minutes, when Esme gets back. She went to tell Carlisle our plan." I went from the bed to the couch where Emmett and jasper was still holding a very calm Edward back. " Thanks guys. I am sorry you have to do it though." " no problem, but next time talk to us before you are in a room with him please, well like this. Besides we should have took him a couple of days ago when we went. It's our fault." Emmetts face saddened. " I really wish you wouldn't blame your self for th" I was cut off but Jasper. " Bella stop blaming yourself for this . It's not your fault it is all of ours. We will take him hunting and then you guys can go back to be all lovey dove, ok?" Jasper has a hard time controlling his thirst sometimes but when he can in it seemed like it didn't even bother him. I think that his power is growing.
The front door swung open . That only meant that Esme was home , she was up the stairs in a flash. " Edward I am very disappointed with you. You know when you need to go and you didn't I am so mad at you. Boys take him to the car. We will meet you down there in a few minutes." Edward was about to say something but Esme put her hand up.
"Edward I don't want to hear it." Then they proceeded with taking him down stairs.
Rose came and sat next to me at the now vast location . "Sorry Bella we will be gone for a couple of days . Take my phone please . I am sure that Edward will want to call And apologize later . And then you have Alice here that will want to make sure that you are not gone completely . If you know what I mean see ya in a few." The she gave me a small hug and went down stairs. Ever since the proposal she has been really nice. I guess she thinks of it better if you can't beat them join them kind of situation.
Then Alice came " Jake is going to meet you at his house. He has company right now that's why he can't meet you at the house. Be sure to take the charger too. Your future might disappear but at least you have a phone. So I can call you anytime I want ." "I just don't see why I you can't let me stay at my house? What about Charlie?" "I called Charlie he said it was fine besides , he loves Jacob. He is still at the police convention in Seattle. We won't be gone forever just 3 days . You haven't see the pack in a while enjoy the time you have left with them. If you need anything Carlisle is on Rosalie contact list . Lets go Jake will probably be wondering where you are. " She gave me a hug and guided me down the stairs .
" Sorry sweetheart he will not be like that again . I don't know what got into him ." Esme walked me to my truck. " See ya in a few days." I opened my drivers door and got in . I saw that Emmett , Jasper and Edward was in the jeep . Alice, Esme and Rosalie was in the BMW. Jasper and Rose was driving. I started my truck and looked over to the passenger seat. There was a small duffel bag, which I was sure full of clothes. It had a note on it.
"Sorry, have fun, be safe and please forgive me."
It was written in Edwards elegant script. I followed them out til the end of the driveway. They went right , I went left . They beeped I waved.
So that put me to where I currently am, driving down the road. Or rather trying to drive down the road to Jacobs. My truck keeps missing out for some reason. I told Rose about it and she said everything looks fine. I had put gas in it before I left for the Cullens , so I knew that wasn't the problem. My truck is sputtering, it sounds like its chocking on something.
I am so close to Jakes! Only 2 miles. My truck can't die now! I pulled to the side of the road. I got that annoying cell phone out and opened it to the contact list.
No Jake. It was worth a shot. I had found Alice's number though. I called it , it rang 3 times before her voicemail. " Hey this is Alice. I am probably helping someone with a fashion emergency I'll call you back when at least one more person look decent. Bye." I closed the phone.
I looked at my dash board. The engine light was on . Oh great , then all too soon I heard my truck fade into a slow , almost sounding painful death. Maybe it had just ran idle for too long . I turned the key off then tried to start it. Nothing happened this time. Oh boy, at least I can walk to Jake's its not that far away. I grabbed my duffel bag and the flashlight that was in my glove box and got out of the truck.
It was still pouring outside . I put my hood up on the sweater I had worn since this morning and started to walk. I turned the flashlight on of course incase Jake was done early and could see the light and come. Jake was probably wonder where I was . It was getting cold, well I was getting cold. I was shaking and my teeth were chattering. All I needed was a hug from Jake, well that is if he still doesn't hate me for the marring a vampire thing and doesn't mind me getting some body heat from him.
I could see Jakes house coming up I was probably a ½ mile away. Man this walk was taking a lot out of me , I feel so tired. I did miss breakfast but I was sure that a house of a werewolf was sure to have food.
I knocked on Jakes front door. I was about to knock again when the door swung open and Jake took me into his arms. It was a normal Jake hug but a gentle hug. "I'm sorry Bella. Please forgive me I was so stupid. I just want you happy. I know your be happy. As much as it pains me to say it. Congratulations I hope you will be very happy together."
I could tell that he meant it. I looked into his eyes and saw how sincere they were. I hugged him back. I was shaking, I was so cold because if the stupid rain. He noticed and detached himself from me. " Are you ok, Bells? Your soaked. Go get a shower . You can get warmed up that way. I will be in here when you get out."
He practically pushed me to the bathroom. " Jake , I will but do you have any peanut butter and jelly . I am sort of hungry." His eyes lit up. " Yea we do, come with me to the kitchen and watch Chief Jake at work." He said with A smile and took my hand and had me sit down on a stool in the kitchen. I sat down, I didn't realize how fast he was now but however the fastness it made my heartbeat and my breathing go fast.
" Are you sure you are ok? Drop your bag I will bring it to the bathroom for you while you eat . You should probably change clothes I don't want you to get sick." "I won't get sick Jake, all I want is a PB and j sandwich and a nice hot shower after I eat. I promise to change. Ok?" " Fine Bells."
He made me my sandwich and cut the crust off and split it into two. " Thanks Jake." I said after he placed the sandwich on the plate in front of me. He added potato chips with it. "No problem, just do me a favor and drink so of this too." He got a glass of SunnyD out for me. I ate while I ate he when to the bathroom, no doubt dropping my stuff off and getting towels.
I was so tired after I ate. I sluggishly put the plate and empty cup in the sink . I was about to do the dishes when Jake stopped my shaking hands. " Bells, go now I don't want to have to drag you there. I will if you don't go. Besides after the shower and you are all warmed up maybe we can watch a movie." " Ok, Jake you win." I was too tired to argue.
I walked out of th kitchen and to the bathroom. I closed the door and got undressed. I opened the shower and got the water running. I turned the H on hot water handle all the way to the left. It didn't feel warm though. It felt like ice sleets cascading down my back. I tired to warm myself up by rubbing my arms it helped enough to get my hair and body washed .
I got out just as fast as I got in. I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around me . I was still cold.
My duffel bag was on the other side of the room. I had to go get it. I began to walk. One hand holding the towel in place the other to my side swaying like a willow tree. I was about half way there when my feet got tangled up in the rug that was on the bathroom floor. I hit the floor, "Ow". Normally I wouldn't hit the floor but since I was not at the cullens and there was not females around. I met my old friend once again. Jacob came pounding on the door.
"Bella, Are you alright?" he yelled . " Yea just cold. Why is your house so cold Jake?" then I started to cough. " bella, the heat is on . now hurry up out of their I though we were going to watch a movie." "Ok" I said in a shaking voice. I put on my pajamas . It was no where near bedtime but it was a Saturday and that meant lounge day. I put on my socks .
The socks didn't help the feet. My whole body was still frozen. I opened the door to find Jake waiting . He took my hand and took me to his room. He made me sit on his bed while he got a blanket for me. I looked around his room . He had the DVD player and tv in his room. I got up from his bed to look at his collection. I guided my shaking fingers across the titles. I saw couple I hadn't seen before.
Jake came in with a cup of hot coco and a big blanket. He grabbed my hand again . I loved his warmth. We sat on the bed again. He wrapped the blanket around me and handed me the hot chocolate. " Are you feeling any better?'' " A little , what movie are we going to watch?" I had sipped on the hot chocolate. " Whatever you decide." It had done nothing to my body. I was still shaking. When I was done with the coco he took it from me. He got up off the bed with the cup. My guess to put it into the sink.
I began to cough and cough. I reached over to grab a Kleenex and held it to my mouth. EW, it had mucus on it. Jake came rushing in, "Bella!" I was staring to get really tired. My eyes just got heavier and heavier. " Bells, you are starting to scare me. Just lay down , please."
He gently lowered me down onto the bed and tucked me in. He got up and walked to the other side and sat on top of the blankets. He put his now freezing hand to my forehead. I continued to chatter. " Bells, you are burning up . I am going to get my thermometer. Stay in bed please." "Ok." I said in a feeble voice.
It's so cold in his house why can't they fix the heater ? He came back a couple of minutes with a electric thermometer in his hand. " Open up please. You can go to sleep after wards. I promise ." He looked so sad. I opened my mouth he slipped the thermometer under my tongue.
As soon as the thermometer made contact with my tongue it made me cough. He got it out of my mouth almost immediately . I grabbed another tissue and held it to my mouth. I continued to cough for about 3 minutes. I stopped but felt so bad. I threw the tissue away in the small trash can by his bed. I pulled my arms around me like I had to pull my self together. I tried to take a deep calming breath but that made me feel short of breaths and start to cough again.
" Bella you'll be ok. Do you have Carlisle number?" "Yes, it's on Rose's phone." I said in between gasps of air. "Where is the phone?'' " Its in the bathroom in my bag , I forgot to tell you about the truck it broke down on the road can you look at it please?" " Of course, man you really must be sick if you are wanting help." He took that moment to exit the room.
"Sorry Bells I had to go thru your bag to get it. I found it , it says you have a missed call. Do you want to call them back now or wait til you feel better?" I should probably call them back now seeing how I already know who it is. " I will call them back nnnnnooooooowwwwwww, pppphhhhoooonnnneeee pppllleeeeaaasssseee." I was so cold and tired but he placed the phone in my shaking hands. "Bella I am going to the kitchen to get you some Tylenol ." He got up and left the room yet again.
I held the phone in my shaking hands again . I checked the missed calls it was Edward of course. I hit send , then held it to my ear , he answered on the first ring."Bella?!" It was the voice of my angel. " Bella , I didn't want to scare you . It was my fault. I should have know better , please forgive me." " You are always forgiven Edddddddwwaaaaaaarrrrddd." My breathing was kicked into overdrive , and my voice was hard to handle dude to the fact that my body was frozen, my teeth were chattering.
"Bella ! Are you ok? How are you feeling? You don't sound to good. Get Jacob on the phone please." " I'm fine eedd-waaard." I some what controlled my voice better. " I don't believe you. Get Jacob now." Luckily I didn't have to yell for him or even wait for him. He walk right into the room with his hand out. He didn't have Tylenol in his hands . which probably meant that he wanted a actuate reading instead of a drug one.
I gave him the stupid phone . I started to cough again. I fell back down on the bed and began and closed my eyes. I am so tired. I heard Jake talking to Edward. " she won't let me. I tried but every time she begins to cough." There was a pause. " her truck broke down and she walked to my house . I should have got her. I'm sorry of I would have known." Another pause. " I will and call you back." I heard the phone close shut.
He tapped me on the shoulder " Bells, honey, I just have to take your temperature . Just let me do it and then you can go back to sleep." I obediently opened my mouth and let him take my temperature. A few moments later it beeped. He took it out of my mouth. I opened my eyes and looked into Jakes. " What is it?" he was looking at the white tubing . He locked eyes with me then dropped the thermometer on the bed. He looked scared. He grabbed the phone and called Edward back.
" Hey Edward, it's Jakes again." He moved his eyes to me again. " Yes, and it was 101.9" there was a pause. " I'll meet you there." He closed the phone and tucked it into his pants pocket. He walked towards me again. " Bella, I'm going to pick you up and we are going to meet Edward at the hospital." "Ok." Then I closed my eyes , they were so heavy. I was faintly aware of him picking me up. I heard Billy rolling around in the kitchen apparently just getting home. "Jake what's wrong with her?" he sounded very close.
" She's sick we are going to the hospital to see what's wrong with her." " I will call Charlie . Call me when you know something. You have a phone with you?" I was being carried bridal style. " I have bell's temporary one . I'll call." "Drive safe and Bella feel better." "mmmmmm" was all I had the strength for. Then I was asleep.
I could hear the slight hum of the Rabbit come to a stop. He shut off the engine. " Bella was are here." He got out of his seat and closed the door behind him. He opened mine and started to shake me gently. " Owww." I said in a feeble voice as I opened my eyes. Jake was looking at me with a very worried expression. He moved to the side, when my angel approached me. His brothers were behind him. Edward unbuckled me and took me into his arms.
" Sorry, when I called I was still in the woods with them. They wouldn't let me steal their car." He obviously was trying to lighten the mood by whispering in my ears. Emmett and Jasper smiled sympathetically at me. I tried to smile back but it came out more of a grimace and I started to cough violently again but this time it was in Edwards shirt. My head was in his chest.
" We better get you inside to see Carlisle. I don't like that cough and I know the fever doesn't help much." He continued to carry me into the hospital . The others trailing behind. I stopped coughing and was positioned for a great view of his neck. As soon as we entered the lobby nausea hit.
I hurried out of Edwards arms and ran to the closet bathroom. " Bella where are you going?" I placed my hands over my mouth while I ran . Hopefully they would know what that meant at least. I made it just in the nick of time. I heard the guys knocking on the door asking if I was ok. "Edward, I don't feel that good."it was Jasper in a weak voice. "Get a grip of yourself man!" I recognized the second voice , which was Emmett's.
I got up from my position on the floor , flushed the toilet and went to the sink. I wiped my mouth off. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was pale, well, paler than normal. There was a sheet of sweat on my forehead. My body was shaking against the sink. It took all that I have not to fall off. I was so cold. My chest felt like it had been stuck in a massive hug from Jacob. There was bags under my eyes. I was tired.
I decided that I better calm down the herd of men that was wondering about me. I walked at a snails pace to the door. I opened it and tripped on my heavy feet. Edward caught me and held me close. " You should probably go see Carlisle your getting paler." I could tell he was worried.
" What are you going to do about her truck?" Jake asked. " Why don't you call Sam and make sure its ok to have Emmett and Jasper to get her truck. Besides Jasper looks a little green." Edward said with a laugh. I looked over at Jasper who was standing next to Emmett . He really did look green , like a pasty green. It was interesting I have never seen a vampire look green .
"Eeeddddwwwwaaaarrrrrrddddddd, iiitts freezing iiinnn hhheerrrreee." my teeth started to chatter again. He pulled me slightly away but still held me firm to him. " Ok, time to check in." "Bye doggy, teddy and blondie its sleepy time for me ." I snuggled closer to Edward and fell a sleep.
