Devil in a Sweet Kiss [Twilight Fanfics]

Sins Not Tragedies

Billy pulled Jacob out of his school for the day and he stayed with Bella the entire time she was stuck to her bed, while Billy and Charlie were quietly talking downstairs. She and Jacob were busy watching a marathon of Firefly, eating junk food and basically being lazy.

When school was out, she was surprised to see Jessica, Mike, and Angela visit her. All three wore worried looks on their faces and questioned her repeatedly about her health, at the same time they talked about what went on in school. They also got her schoolwork for her, and Bella thanked them tirelessly.

“We should go watch a movie when you’re feeling better,” Jessica suggested excitedly.

“Sure, what movie?” Bella smiled at her enthusiasm.

“I don’t know. Do you mind a horror film? I was thinking the new Friday the 13th.” Jessica asked her.

Mike pouted, “I want to watch the Watchmen.”

“Why don’t you guys make a day of it? You know, movie hopping,” Jacob suggested.

“That sounds cool. Why don’t you come with us? It’ll be the four of us in Port Angeles,” Angela outlined for them.

“I don’t see why not,” Bella grinned. Jacob exasperatedly agreed, winking at Bella.

They chatted some more before the three of them had to leave, and it left Jacob and Bella alone again. At least, not for long. Bella’s next visitors were Alice and Jasper, and they were greeted warmly by a surprised Charlie and a disgruntled Billy.

“Bella’s upstairs if you want to see her,” Charlie told them and both of them thanked him.

Jacob smiled politely and Bella’s eyes lit up. “Alice! Jasper! What are you two doing here?”

Jasper gave her a hug, which Alice followed, and both of them sat on the edge of her bed. They started talking about everything and anything, and despite the unusual hostility they seem to be holding back from Jacob, even Jacob was able to have fun joining in on the conversation.

“Do you want us to tell Carlisle you’re ill so he can come over?” Alice asked her.

Bella shook her head, “No, please. I’ll be fine after some rest.”

“If you’re sure,” Jasper said, still doubtful.

“I’m sure,” she smiled at them tiredly.

“Are you tired now, Bella? Do you want us to leave?” Alice asked worriedly.

“I’m so tired, but I’m having so much fun with all of you here,” Bella murmured.

“We’ll stay with you until you fall asleep,” Jacob grinned at her.

It wasn’t all that long until Bella did fall asleep.

“We’ll be heading back,” Alice quietly told Jacob. “I’ll probably tell my dad to check on her anyway. She’ll thank me later.”

Jacob hesitated, “I’m sure Bella’s fine.”

Both Cullens looked at him suspiciously.

He gulped, “Really. I mean…oh, well, it doesn’t hurt to make sure, I guess.”

Jasper grinned smugly, “Exactly.”

Alice concurred with her husband, “Good to know you see it our way.”

Jacob sweatdropped.

“Is she alright?” Edward asked anxiously, fretting. He’d wanted to come with Alice and Jasper earlier, but he thought that it would’ve been too awkward with him not having made up to Bella for his earlier behavior.
