Summary: What if Edward never saved Bella from the van? Would they still go against the odds and be together?

Bella's POV

I watch in horror as the bluish gray van careens toward me. I can do nothing but stand in shock. Suddenly, the van is right in front of me and it's too late to move. The only thing that registers in my brain is the pain. I feel the metal of my truck against my back and the metal of the van against my abdomen. I let out a cough and suddenly the van is splattered with my blood. It's hard to breath and in the background I can hear the shouts and screams. I hear someone yell to call 911. My biology teacher Mr. Molina stands in front of me, telling me to keep my eyes open and just look at him. I look past him though and into the eyes of the Cullen group. Their mouths are practically on the ground and Edward Cullen is no longer there. His Volvo is gone. I hear the sirens of the ambulance but they sound far away. Tyler Crowley was removed from the van with nothing but a deep cut on his forehead. He stares at the accident and drops to his knees. I want to look down, to see what he has but I can't.

"Bella, I need you to keep looking at me. The ambulance is almost here." It's at this moment that I realize that I can't feel my lower half. There's absolutely no pain. The only pain I feel is from my waist up.

"Bella, god Bella, I'm so sorry." Tyler cries. Against Mr. Molina's wishes, I look down to see why Tyler is freaking out and all the air leaves me. What I can see of my waist looks distorted and I'm bleeding profusely. I see my father get out of his cruiser and as he sees me, his steps falter.

The ambulance arrives and it's a flurry of activity. Students are pushed back but they watch as the fire truck pulls in. They discuss the best options on how to move me. My eyes suddenly feel heavy and my head begins to fall forward. My vision blurs and people shout my name trying to get me to stay awake but I can't. They begin move the van and they're rewarded with a sickening crunch. A flash of pain erupts up my spine and suddenly, I feel nothing.
