Chapter One:
There she laid in the hospital bed, unconscious. She had been that way now for a little over a week, they all feared for the worse. Nobody knew how all this happened. Edward said she tripped and fell, but Charlie didn't believe him. The hospital room kept getting smaller, a lot of the boys from La Push kept popping in and staying for a while. After all she was a pack member, even if she was laying unconscious.
Charlie watched as Sam, and Emily walked through the door. At first he wasn't so sure about Bella hanging with Sam, and Emily. After everything that happened with Leah, but that was before.
"How are you doing, Charlie?" Emily asked.
"As good as can be expected. The doctors think she should wake up at any moment, but that is what they have been saying for the last week. Renee is suppose to be finally flying in sometime today or maybe tomorrow. I will never understand that woman. Her daughter has been in a coma for a week, and she hasn't tried to flown out. She never had her properties straight, " Charlie answered . Renee had always been irresponsible, and having a child didn't make her any better. In fact, it probably made her a lot worse than before Bella.
"Well, that's good you shouldn't be spending all your time in here. Why don't you go down and get a cup of coffee, and some food while Sam and I are here," Emily suggested.
"No, I can't do that. I don't want her to wake up, and me not be here," Charlie said. It killed him not to be able to fix his child. To see her laying there helpless, and all he could do was sit by her side and hope that one day she will open her eyes.
"It's okay Charlie. If she wakes up I'll come and get you," Sam answered. Charlie knew he could trust Sam, and the rest of the La Push boys. They only ever wanted what was best for her.
Emily and Sam brought the chairs closer to Bella. Emily started to speak first, " I sure do wish you would wake up. You have no idea how much the boys miss you. I still remember hearing stories. How you slapped Paul, the hot headed Paul, and you this tiny girl compared to him, and you slapped him. I was kind of upset I missed that. Someone other than Sam putting Paul in his place. I don't know if Jake was proud of you or scared for you. I think that is what made the pack love you. You didn't put up with Paul's crap. You weren't this fragile little girl that they originally thought you to be. The whole pack is beating themselves up over this. You have been through so much in your short life, this just doesn't seem fair to you. Everything that you have been pulled into, and how much you are willing to give up to protect the ones you care about. We had so much planned for your life in La Push. The Bakery, and what was in store for you and Paul. The house you and Paul were going to build to house." Emily couldn't finish speaking she was crying. She was upset the Cullen's have taken away her best friend.
"Emily, you are crying," Sam said as he wiped her tear away.
"Oh Sam she has no idea. She will never know just how much she has changed everyones lives, especially Paul's. He should be here. Just everything that was planned. She was suppose to live, that was always the plan, ever since she came back from Italy," Emily whispered.
"You know why he isn't here. She is his imprint, and he blames himself, just like the whole pack blames themselves. We all know she is clumsy, but Edwards story just doesn't make sense. Bella is smart than that. She knows better, " Sam said.
"Well, I wish he would come to his senses. He should be here, I know he feels the pull to her. I can see the hurt in his eyes when he ask one of the boys how she is doing. He should just try harder, why can't you force him? Paul needs to be here, Paul should be here. I don't care how upset he is with himself, this isn't about him. He needs to man up, this is about Bella. This is about what is best for her. " Emily said.
"You don't have to force me to do anything. I have been an idiot, I should be here. I just didn't think I would be able to control my anger and disappointment in myself for my imprint getting hurt, " A voice from behind said. That surprised both Emily and Sam they never expected to see him here, at least not this soon.
"Paul, you really came?" Emily asked as she got up and pulled him into a hug.
"Everyone else was right. It is selfish of me, I should be here. I should be the one sitting here protecting her. I shouldn't have let her at her house alone, regardless of the stupid fight, " Paul finally said as he took Emily's seat.
"We will be outside waiting," Sam said as he and Emily went outside the door. They were staying close just in case Edward was stupid enough to show up. Nobody wanted Paul to lose his cool in a small hospital room, or kill a vampire there. That would take too much explaining.
"You are a real pain in my butt, do you know that? Ever since that day you slapped me, and I feel in love with you. I fell in love with a girl who so clearly hates me enough to slap me. You have a temper sometimes too. Even if the pack doesn't see it, I bring it out in you. Maybe thats why the spirits think we are meant for each other. Do you know how different things would have been if you knew at that moment? If you knew I imprinted on you, you never would have left to save Edward from Italy. This wouldn't have happened. I was selfish from the very beginning. I didn't do this to protect you, I was protecting me. I was afraid of getting hurt and you are the only person capable of doing that. What is worse, is Edward knew that I imprinted on you, way before you knew. That night you came back to Italy, and Charlie called us. " Paul said as a tear drop feel from his eye. Paul doesn't cry, but this girl makes him do things he normally wouldn't do.
"While you were in Italy, we had to tell Charlie. We didn't see a way around it. Especially, since I phased in your living room with your dad right there. Your family is good with weird. Then you came back, and I spilled the beans. I told you everything, and I didn't expect you to be so willing. I didn't expect you to hug me, and saying you knew you decided right. That you picked life, that you picked La Push over being a walking corpse. Okay that walking corpse isn't the word you used. You don't have a mean bone in your tiny body, unless it involves fighting with me. Things only went well for a little bit, until Edward went off the deep end." Paul struggled to keep himself in check. He knew he couldn't finish the story. He would phase right there.
"We couldn't control Edward going off the deep end. I guess we should have known he would, since he thought you were his soul mate. I don't want it to sound like you so easily accepted me and the imprint. You may have hugged me, and smiled, but it took a while for you to fully accept you and I as a couple. We started out as friends, well I guess I could call it as friends. You still didn't trust me, and thought I was pig headed, and I still thought you were a leech lover," Paul whispered. He wanted to keep going on but the memories were making him sad. Making him miss Bella.
Paul finally got up, and kissed her on the forehead. " I wish you would wake up princess, I promise I will make things right. I won't ever let him near you again. I will make sure nobody ever hurts you again."
Just as he was about to walk out, he heard the bed sheets moving, and coughing. He looked over at Bella, her eyes were still stuck but she was coughing. That caused Emily to walk in and Sam to say " I am going to get the doctor, and Charlie."
Slowly, Bella opened her eyes trying to let her eyes adjust to her surrounds. She tried to sit up, but wasn't able too. She slowly moved her hand to her face, and felt the gauze wrapped around her forehead. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She kept coughing.
That was when the nurse came in and helped Bella get a sip of the water she just brought in. "My dear, I am sure happy you are up. You have no idea how worried your family was about you. You have such great friends, especially this young lady. She always brings in the best muffins."
"What happened?" Bella asked her voice sounding horse.
"The doctor should be here in a minute, I will leave him to tell you," the nurse responded. Just as she finished Charlie and the doctor walked in.
"Miss Swan it is so good to see you are finally up. You had your friends and family seriously worried about you. How are you feeling?" He asked.
" My head hurts, what happened to me? Was I in a car accident?" Bella asked as she started coughing again. The nurse gave her a little bit more water.
" That is what we were wondering too. What is the last thing you remember," the doctor asked her.
She looked at everyone for a minute, " I remember being left in the woods, I remember feeling completely alone, and lost. I remember Sammy, Jare and Paul finding me. I remember the movies, and Jake ignoring me for a little while. I remember confronting the boys, and slapping Paul in the face," She said as she gave him a shy smile. " I remember fixing up the bikes, and going cliff diving but after that everything is fuzzy."
"So you don't remember leaving with no word going to Italy? You don't remember coming back with Alice, and Edward? Or the pass year? You don't remember Edward sending out cards of your engagement?" Charlie asked completely shocked. This could lead to problems if she can't remember.
"Edwards back? We are engaged?" she responded. That earned a growl from Paul. Bella just ignored him, not knowing what exactly to say to him. It isn't like they got along much. She slapped him, he phased, Jake phased, and she learned their secret. She wondered why Paul is here and Jake isn't.
"Is this normal?" Charlie asked the doctor.
"Well, with head injuries this is normal, I would feel better if we kept her over night and monitored her. Depending on how she does she should be able to go home tomorrow afternoon. Of course she has to take it extremely easy. Bed rest, limited walking, because she will most likely get dizzy, and we don't want to make the head injury worse if she loses her balance," the doctor said.
"For how long?" Bella asked.
Before the doctor could answer, Paul and Sam both growled and moved closer to the door blocking Edwards view. Of course Edward being Edward didn't take that as well. "Bella, my love you are finally up. I am so glad. Can you call off your guard dogs." His voice gave Bella chills, and she didn't like that. She doesn't remember the last year, but she knows herself enough to know that she wouldn't jump into an engagement right out of high school.
" I guess I didn't make myself clear last time you were here. I don't want you here. I don't trust you, and every time my little girl is with you and your family she gets hurts. This isn't the first time she has ended up at the hospital because of you. You know you being here is going cause issues," Charlie said.
"Let me remind you, Forks is a long way from La Push. If anything these mutts shouldn't be here. Bella can't remember anything? She doesn't remember our engagement, " Edward asked. He sounded surprised, there was hope in his voice. Hope that he would win back the girl that was never his to begin with.
"I remember you leaving me in the woods. I remember you breaking my heart. I don't remember what happened, but I don't think I would get engaged to you especially after everything that happened," Bella finally spoke up. She knew something wasn't right, but she wasn't sure what it is. As much as she thought she wanted to be with him something in her heart was telling her this was wrong.
" You can't mean that dear. I would never do this to you, don't let them start feeding you lies. We are engaged, you are happy with me. They are brain washing you," Edward said. Paul growled again, and Bella got a small smile on her face. Charlie caught the small smile she got from Paul protecting her.
"I am sorry sir, but I am going to have to escort you off of hospital property and ask you not to return," the security guard said.
"My father works here, you can't," Edward begin to say.
Paul walked up to Edward, and whispered, " You attacked a human. I don't care if you didn't change her or bite her. In my mind you broke the treaty, the only reason I have burned down your house is because of that girl in the bed. That girl that is mine. The human part of me is fighting the wolf part, but I am more than willing to let the wolf part out, and end your miserable undead life. I can promise you this, when she remembers everything, I am going to burn you. I am going to make you realize what happens when you mess with a pack and their imprint." Edward just looked at him for a moment then back at Bella.
Bella wasn't too sure what was going on with her and Paul. She remembers they didn't get a long, and he always called her leech lover, but for some reason she feels safe when he is around. He feels like home, and if she didn't know any better she could have sworn she felt Paul's anger towards Edward. She sighed. All she wanted was to remember what happened that made her come to the hospital.
