Hi! This is my first story so pleeease read and review :-) Rated K+
Sugar Rush Shopping Trip
1 – Shopping
Bella's Point Of View
"Yay! Yay! Yay!" Alice skipped into the room where I and the other Cullens were; apart from Carlisle, who was working at the hospital today.
"Guess what I've got!" she squealed, clapping her hands and jumping up and down.
"Edward?" I asked him, not wanting to answer Alice directly. I dreaded to think of what Alice would come up with. Edward rolled his eyes.
"Alice, you don't even need them", he sighed.
"But I might as well spend them", Alice pointed out. She went into her bag and pulled out a dozen shopping vouchers, waving them in the air.
"Who wants to come shopping with me?" she sang. When nobody answered her straight away, her expression became harder.
"Rosalie?" she asked politely.
"Sorry, Alice. I want to spend the day with Emmett."
"Esme?"
"I'm afraid I can't. I'm way behind on my housework lately."
"Jasper?" Alice's eyes turned pleading. Before Jasper could answer, Emmett butted in.
"Jazz and I are going to watch the game that's on at midday. Sorry." Alice turned to me.
"Bella?"
"Alice, you know I don't like shopping as much as you do. Plus, you canget carried away." All of the other Cullens nodded at my comment.
"Pleeease, Bella. I'll even buy you something sweet."
I considered following Alice around the shops eating a Galaxy bar and sipping on a Coke. It didn't seem that bad.
"No", Edward said sternly when he saw me deliberating. "You know what happens when you have too much sugar, Bella." I stared at him blankly. "You go hyper, woozy, dizzy, and then loose your memory."
"Oh, that's why I forgot everything a month ago."
"Actually, it was only two weeks ago."
"Oh." Then I remembered – when I'd had my 'hangover', I'd forgotten everything; from how to do basic things such as stand up, to who I was. I even forgot who Edward was until he sneaked into my room and I nearly screamed at him, thinking he was a burglar. Luckily, it only took four days for the 'hangover' to go and for me to get my memory back.
"But I actually want to go shopping", I told Edward. When he looked into my eyes, he only saw the truth. Good thing he couldn't read my mind.
"Alright, you can go if you really want to", he sighed in defeat, and then added, "But I'm coming with you."
2 – Sugar Rush
Bella's Point Of View
As soon as we got to the shopping centre Alice tugged on my hand to drag me into the nearest shop.
"Come on, Bella! This shop is so cool! It's filled with jewellery and lots of pretty ladies' clothes!" Edward took Alice's subtle hint.
"Okay, I'll go wait in the Food Court." As he said this, he turned and walked to the other side of the shopping centre. Alice tugged me into the shop and stopped as soon as we were behind a clothes rack. She got out her purse and gave me some money. Three pounds.
"One chocolate bar", she told me. "Like I promised." I hugged her tight. She knew how much I loved chocolate. But she didn't know I could get addicted that quickly. One chocolate bar was all it took. Mwahahaha!
At first I thought I had said that aloud, but then I realised that I was still hugging Alice, who was buzzing to get on with her shopping. I stepped away from her and bounded out of the shop into an old one that sold, sweets, chocolate, and magazines. I chose a Galaxy Caramel and grinned to the person behind the counter as I paid for it. He gave me an uncertain smile but gave me £2.30 change. Wow that was cheap; only 70p. Maybe I should buy some more . . . No Bella, you only need one I told myself.
Still in the shop, I unwrapped the bar and bit off one chunk. Mmmm . . . It was more delicious than I remembered it. I bit off another square; and another; and another. I finished the bar and bought a big bar of Hershey's chocolate, which I ate in two minutes. It had cost £1.95. How expensive; I only had 25p left! I walked out of the shop to go and find Alice, and found her coming out of a clothes shop with six over-loaded shopping bags. That's when the sugar rush hit.
Alice's Point Of View
As I came out of the shop, feeling proud of myself for grabbing the latest fashions as they had just come on to the market, I saw Bella beginning to bounce towards me. Oh, no; she looked hyper. What had I done?
"Thanks for the moneee!" Bella giggled when she'd reached me. "I had loads of sugaar!" I placed my hands on her shoulders to stop her from bouncing.
"Bella, I told you to eat one chocolate bar", I sighed in despair. She giggled like a maniac. She looked like she was having a fit. Edward was going to KILL me!
I started to rush her in the direction of the food court. Everyone we passed stared at Bella's non-stop laughing and became freaked out as she called them all Bumblebees and made buzzing noises in between her hysteric splutters as she passed them.
I called out in my head Sorry, Edward, sorry, frantically searching for him. I saw him get up from a table in the Food Court as he heard my thoughts and move quickly through the crowds towards us.
"What's wrong?" he asked as he reached us, worry the dominant emotion on his face.
"Buzz, buzz, bees!" Bella squealed. "Fly away, eat the honey!" She noticed Edward and giggled. "Hi, honey." Edward's expression became angry.
"Alice why did you give her money? I told you not to buy her sugar – Just look at her!"
"Bizz, bizz, buzz! Fly away, fly away!" Bella giggled yet again.
"Honestly Edward, I didn't know she could get hooked that easily", I said in a panicky tone. Edward looked from me to Bella.
"Honey, honey! I can fly, I can fly!"
"We need to take her back to Carlisle", Edward insisted. "This can't be good for her health." He led us into the parking lot where his silver Volvo waited.
"I'm really sorry, Edward", I apologised as he unlocked the car.
"I'll go in the back with Bella. You drive", he instructed as he slid into the back seat. I nodded as I sat down in the front and turned the key that he had placed in the ignition.
3 – Hangover
Edward's Point Of View
It had taken a while for Alice to drive back home through the midday traffic, so it was nearly two o'clock when we arrived. Bella was no longer hyper, she now felt woozy. She kept saying that she wanted to be sick, but she wasn't able to.
I helped her out of the car, but she suddenly swung aside and clutched the frame for support. I wound my arm around her waist to pull her up again.
"Wow, dizzy." She blinked and tried to focus on my face, but her eyes kept moving. She blinked harder in concentration.
"Do you want me to carry you, love?" I asked her gently. She moaned but didn't protest as I scooped her up into my arms.
"I'm really sorry, Edward", Alice whispered, her head hanging low as she stepped out of the car. She looked really guilty.
"You're forgiven, Alice", I sighed. "It's my fault. I didn't tell you Bella had no tolerance for sugar."
When we walked into the house, Carlisle was sitting on the sofa with Esme. When he saw Bella in my arms his expression turned from relaxed to anxious.
"She just got sugar rush", I reassured him. Bella leaned upwards in my arms and clenched her head in her hand.
"OW!" she cried. "Major headache!"
"I'll get her something for her head", Carlisle said and dug into his medical bag and found a few small dissolveable capsules. "You might want to sit her down". he added. I nodded and sat her on the sofa between Carlisle and me. Bella obediently drank down the dissolved capsules and leaned against me as she waited for them to work.
"How do you feel, Bella?" Carlisle asked after ten minutes.
"Better, but it still hurts", she moaned. I put my hand on her forehead. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"Alice, do you mind if Bella rests in your room for a while?" I asked.
"Sure", she replied, happy to help. I felt bad about blaming her now. "Don't apologise again", Alice smiled gently, predicting my apology. Bella drooped in my arms more.
"Let's get her up upstairs", I whispered. "She's nearly unconcious." When I lifted her up again, Bella didn't even moan, she just drooped against me. Her eyelids fluttered. "Sleep, love." I kissed the top of her head.
"But I'll forget everything", she whispered. She wasn't whispering to keep quiet, she was scared. She trembled in my arms.
"I'll tell you", I promised. She nodded weakly and fell asleep as her head hit the pillow.
* * *
"Come downstairs", Alice whispered around the door to her room where I was watching Bella sleep.
"No, thankyou", I whispered back, keeping my eyes on Bella. She rolled over and muttered something unintelligible.
"When will she wake up?" I asked. Alice closed her eyes for a second.
"Exactly five minutes", she answered as she re-opened them. I nodded and smiled in her direction before she left the room.
I went over and sat on the bed where Bella was sleeping and reached out to take her hand. She muttered again and wriggled closer to me. Her unconscious mind obviously hadn't forgotten me yet.
* * *
I took a step back as Bella rolled over again and yawned. She was awake; her breathing had accelerated slightly. She stretched out and opened her eyes.
She took one look at me and screamed. I tried not to react. She sat up and backed away from me.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU MONSTER!" she screeched. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I HAVE NO VALUABLES FOR YOU TO STEAL! I ATE ALL MY SKITTLES BEFORE YOU GOT HERE!"
I couldn't believe she was screaming to protect a packet of Skittles. Knowing Bella, she would trade her soul for sugar.
"You're not at your house, remember? You're here, at the Cullens'", I tried to soothe her. Her heartbeat accelerated in panic.
"YOU'VE KIDNAPPED ME? THIS IS GONNA KILL CHARLIE! TAKE ME BACK!"
"We didn't kidnap you."
"What happened then?"
"I drove you here this morning, and you decided to go shopping with Alice and me. You ate too much chocolate and had sugar rush. Alice drove us home and you fell asleep and lost your memory." Bella paused as she considered my story.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Edward Cullen." Her eyes popped out.
"The boy at my school?"
"Yes."
"Why are you here?"
"I'm your boyfriend, plus you're in my house."
"W-O-W", Bella took a deep breath. "I'm dating the hottest guy in the school! This is so cool!"
Downstairs, I heard Emmett sigh "there goes Bella". I knew he'd be shaking his head.
I hope she's okay, Carlisle thought. I need to check her health. All this sugar must be harming her system.I nodded in agreement to Carlisle, but to Bella it looked like I was agreeing with her.
4 - Health Check
(Four Days Later)
Bella's Point of View
When I woke up again I finally remembered where I was and who Edward was. I hadn't left Alice's for four days, not even to go the en-suite bathroom. I was too freaked out.
When I woke, Edward was sitting beside me on Alice's bed.
"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty", he hushed as he saw my eyes flicker open. I wriggled closer to him and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Let's go downstairs", he suggested after I'd got up, showered, and dressed. I nodded and he took my hand and led me down the stairs.
The Cullens were all standing and looking at me. I blushed as I looked from face to face. When I got to Emmett's face, I couldn't stop staring at him.
"What?" he asked.
"I was sure you were a girl", I commented. He looked at the floor.
"She's not so far off base", I heard Jasper whisper. Rosalie hit him hard, making him wince.
Carlisle walked over to Edward and me, our hands still interlaced. He gestured for us to go and sit in the dining room. I tensed. We only used this table for important meetings. Maybe they decided they would change into a vampire at last. Yay! Although I had to admit I would miss the sugar. . .
Carlisle sat at the head of the table and I sat to his left with Edward the other side of me. The rest of the Cullens stayed in the front room, but I bet they could hear us.
"Bella", Carlisle began. " I don't know to put this so you'll understand." He paused, searching for words. "You'll have to give up sugar."
"WHAT?!!" The other Cullens would definitely hear me now.
"I checked your sugar levels while you were unconscious. They were well off the scale. You're in danger of having a heart attack."
"NOO! You mean I can't have Galaxy?"
"No."
"Skittles?"
"No."
"Haribo."
"No, Bella. No sugar."
"No", I whispered. "This can't be happening."
I pushed away from the table and ran out of the door. Edward followed me to Charlie's house but wasn't allowed inside while Charlie was there; at least no earlier than 7pm.
I ran in and dialed the telephone. I rang once.
"Hello?"
"Jake", I sighed.
"Bella!"
"Listen, can you do me favour?"
"Sure."
"Go out and buy 20 packets of Haribo. I need them."
"Sure, no probs."
"I'll meet you down La Push in half an hour."
"Cool."
After he hung up, I rummaged through the fridge for some sugar. I found a can of Coke and chugged it down. Jacob was going to be soscared of me once I'd gotten my hands on those Haribos. Mwahahaha.
Thanks for reading! Please review!!! Should I continue it when Bella gets to Jacob's? Please give me a few ideas for improvement if needed. Thank-you! :-)))
