Mid-Week Sneak Peek - Surviving Bella Chap 14

Chapter 14 is still only about half way done, but it is coming along, at least. Here's a little sneak peek, since I haven't given you guys much for a while. :)

A couple people asked what I did for a real job, since I worked such crazy hours. It's nothing very exciting - I'm just in IT support, so when things break, I have to be there. And a lot has been broken lately!!!

Just remember....you wanted a sneak peek. Sneak peeks can be cliffhangers, too. [insert evil laugh]

I forced my eyes open again. The sun was too fucking bright, and it was making my head hurt. Why the fuck was I rocking back and forth? I realized Bella’s cold hands were on my shoulders, shaking me roughly.

“Edward, I don’t know what to do.” Bella’s voice sounded to small and so far away. I tilted my head a little, trying to get a better look at her face, but everything was blurry. Even through my blurred vision, I could see her anxiety. Even without my vision, I could feel it in her. I didn’t want her to be upset about anything…I wanted to tell her it was all okay.

“Don’t…” I tried to make words, but they just didn’t want to come out. My throat was dry, and I coughed once. Bella’s hand was suddenly on the back of my neck, tilting my head up and pouring water into my mouth. I drank it greedily until she pulled back the container. I coughed again.

“Don’t be sad,” I finally got out.

“You’re so sick,” she said quietly. I first I tried to figure out if I had made some off-color joke, but I didn’t think I had. I narrowed my eyes, trying to understand. “You’re leg was hurt – cut, I think. I stitched it up like I did your eye, but it’s really red and swollen up, Edward. I think it’s infected, but I don’t know what to do! You told me how dangerous…”

Her voice cracked and I watched her hand move up to cover her mouth.

“Infected?” I heard myself mumble out loud, as my brain tried to remember what the fuck that meant.

    last night i was talking to my husband about being on a boat and starting telling him how if we crashed we would never survive becuase he knows nothing like Edward knows in my fanfic and how he needs to learn all this stuff and i'm worrying if i would remember in the event of a shipwreck and we don't even have a boat and no plans to ever be on one far out to sea. so you see my dear - your fic is under my skin!!! now be nice!!!! tell me there is some weird leaf that is going to save edward when bella makes a salve out of it!!!

    Why do everyone want them to be rescued? I don't want that. I want them to stay there, alone :) I like it when it is just about Edward and Bella.
