El’s POV

I entered my room, dropped the bag on the floor and fell on the bed. The cramps were killing me and I knew it was the time of month again. God! Why do we have to go through these stupid periods every month?!, I thought to myself as I clutched my stomach. I wished to myself that I was born a guy; they don’t have periods and they are so damn lucky. I turned my head towards the door when I hear it creak open.

Rhonda entered my room with a worried look on her face and asked:

“Are you okay? You’re having cramps?”

“Yeah. I hate this. Why can’t I have normal periods like everyone else?” I protested more to God and less to Rhonda.

“At least you only have periods for four days.” Rhonda tried to placate me.

“That is why I bear with these pre- and post- period cramps.” I sighed in reply.

“Now go and take a hot shower you’ll feel better. Do you want to eat something?” asked Rhonda.

“No, I’ll just sleep. Don’t bother me.” I said and stood up to take a hot shower.

After taking a hot, long shower I laid down quickly on bed not bothering to dry my hair. And just as quickly I sat up as I remembered it was Friday today. Shit! How could have I forgotten, I thought to myself. It is our date night today and since I didn’t see Ed today because he was busy with his football practice I forgot completely about it.

I moaned to myself torn between wanting and not wanting to go on the date. I desperately wanted to go on the date since I hadn’t spent any time with Ed today but I didn’t want to go because of the cramps and the periods that were about to come any time. And on cue, I felt my periods start. Dammit, I cursed under my breath and ran to the bathroom.

After a good thirty minutes I came out, slipped on my old comfy, sweat pants and an oversized t-shirt and slipped under the covers. The post-period cramps were killing me and I was on the brink of crying, upset because of the period and the fact that I had no option but to cancel our date for today.

Saddened by the thought, I picked up my phone and typed and sent a text to Edward saying:

I am sorry but can we shift the date to some other day please?

My heart thumped hard inside my chest wary of what Ed would reply. After only a few seconds my phone buzzed and I quickly flicked the screen to read Ed’s message which said:

Sure. Are you okay?

My heart soared as I thought how sweet he was. Normally a guy would have been pissed but not my Edward. And this very understanding and caring nature of his makes me fall for him all the more, if that’s even possible. I felt queasy telling him about me being on the periods since we never talked about it before when we were together. Back then he’d just know it was that time of the month because of the distorted faces I’d be making but he never asked and I never bothered to tell him. I know I sound like I live in the 12th century or something but hey I never had a boyfriend before and I feel very prickly talking to a guy about something as personal as my monthly trauma.

So given my lack of comfort I texted Ed saying:

Yeah, just not feeling well. I am sorry.
