Will I Survive or Die?~~Completed~~

Starving

The following days I shared a bed with Bella, as the pack and cullen's took turns. I could tell they didn't like it one bit. But...they had to. Bella needed to be protected, I placed my hand on my stomach as I sat next to Paul and Kim. Paul had his arm wrapped around my shoulder, I leaned against him. I was feeling sick, my stomach ached. I've been eating whatever I could but it just gets tossed out...my stomach can't handle it. Being by Paul helps a bit. I got up and went over to her, I spun Bella around. Making her and Jacob roll their eyes.

"You're good." I nodded

"Car." she mouthed

I smiled and went back to sitting by Paul, though I kept my eyes on Bella as Billy told the story...I turned to Billy as he spoke. I squeezed Paul's hand, he was right...something bad was going to happen. And I had a hunch it had something to do with Victoria.

"Artemis, how're you feeling?" Sue asked

Everyone was getting some food, Bella was talking with Jacob.

"Okay...just tired." I smiled

"Have you drank anything?" she asked

"Water, Apple Juice..." I shrugged

"Not what she meant...how long?" Paul asked

Kim grabbed my other hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, I shrugged.

"Lost count, been awhile I guess." I shrugged

"Car, There's some in the car. Read my lips." said Bella

She tossed me a water bottle, I blushed in embarrassment. Paul kissed my cheek,

"We're not bugged by it at all. Besides, it keeps you alive doesn't it?" said Kim cheerfully

"....Yeah. But it tastes funky." I groaned

"Doesn't healthy food always do?" teased Jared

They were really okay with this...but...I opened the cap and jugged it. Ah...It hit me hard, don't throw it up...don't throw it up. They don't need to worry about you...just keep it down. I licked my lips and hummed. I tilted my head back and closed my eyes...just keep it down...okay. I smiled,

"Thanks' for bringing it." I smiled

"Emmett got it for you...he said it was your 'favorite'" she rolled her eyes

"You got favorites?" said Embry with a raised eyebrow

"It all tastes different to me. Depending on the animal." I shrugged

"We should head home soon..." said Bella

"She's staying with me tonight." Paul pulled me onto his lap

"Just Sleeping. No funny business, and I'll tell something to Charlie." smiled Bella

Jacob brought her home and I went back to Paul's house with him...he brought me straight to the bathroom and I couldn't help but throw up into the toilet, blood and what little food I had came out. He held back my hair and rubbed my back.

"Shh...it's okay." he soothed

He went to get a cup of water for me, I rinsed out my mouth and sat on the toilet after closing the lid.

"What's wrong?" he asked

"...I'm sorry Paul, I'm so sorry." I said

He pulled me into a hug and held me tightly, as I cried and apologized over and over again.

"You don't need to apologize to me. Not ever...and you don't need to tell me now." he muttered

"Thank You...." I sniffled

He held me close as we went to sleep,
