A.N.: Okay, so this is my first story, ever. I hope you guys like it! And of course, please review! By the way, I need a beta! Just P.M. me. Thanks! :)


It's been more than two weeks since Bella's accident. I was supposed to surprise her. It was our first wedding anniversary, but that all changed when she was on her way back from visiting Esme. A truck swerved on the slippery road and hit her car. I was preparing for dinner for both of us when I got the call…

"Hello? Is this Edward Cullen?" A woman asked.

"Yes, this is he. Why?"

"You're wife, Isabella, is in the hospital. She was hit by a truck. She is being operated on by your father as we speak." I just stood there, speechless.

"Mr. Cullen, are you still there?" The woman asked me worriedly.

"Yes, I'm on my way. Thank you for informing me." I stood up, got the Volvo and stepped on the gas pedal.

I arrived in a matter of minutes. When I got in, I saw the whole family in the waiting room. Everyone's faces were tense, concerned and sad all at the same time. Then Esme came up and spoke to me, her eyes red with crying.

"Oh, Edward! I should have asked her to stay instead. I'm so sorry."

"Mom, mom, relax. It isn't your fault. At least the truck driver called an ambulance." Before we could speak any longer, Carlisle came out of the waiting room. Hiss face was relieved and sad.

"She'll be okay. She has some broken bones, but they're all set now. There is a problem though. She suffered from severe head trauma, which was why we took such a long time."

"Oh. When will she wake up?"

"Son, that's where things get complicated." Upon hearing this everybody started to gather around us.

"Bella's head trauma caused her to go into a coma. Her vitals are good, but we don't know how long it will be until she wakes up."

I just froze. Bella. My Bella, in a coma.

"Edward, she'll be fine, I can feel it." Alice told me soothingly.

"Thanks, Alice."

But I couldn't be comforted. I was a dead man. I walked lifelessly to her room and just broke. Bella was there but she didn't look alive. She was pallid and there were so many machines attached to her. It was heartbreaking. For almost a week I just sat there next to her. Kissing her hand and her face, but not her lips. I just couldn't bear kissing her lips and not see any color go to her face, like she always does. I was lifeless. When her coma was reaching the second week, I was even more lifeless. I didn't go home and I took a leave from work. I was sticky from not taking a shower and my mouth felt rough. Everybody was just visiting everyday but it made no difference.

Now, the doctors thought that she wouldn't wake up anymore, but I wasn't hearing any of it. Before leaving to talk to the doctors with Carlisle, I told her I love her and kissed her lips. When I did, I felt the hand I was holding twitch and her eyelids began to flutter. That's when I knew she was awake.

Bella woke up. I was so happy. Happy couldn't even cover it. Once Bella woke up, her eyes were wide and she couldn't speak. I walked to her and hugged her tightly, but she didn't hug me back Instead, she stiffened.

"Wh- who are you?!"


So, what did you think? The second chapter's coming up soon. I just need to find time to upload it. Review! :)
