Chapter 1- The crash
Just crash, fall down,
I'll wrap my arms around you now.
Just crash, it's our time now,
To make this work second time around.
crash-You me at six
Bella's POV
It is my birthday tomorrow and I can't wait. It was going to be great. All my friends, like Mike, Jessica, Angela, Eric, Tyler and even Lauren who I don't like very much, were going to be there. It was my sweet sixteen I was celebrating. I didn't want a huge party with dresses and stuff, but did my mom listen? NO!
I had invited pretty much everyone, apart from Gus the weird guy who doesn't talk to people, and the Cullen's. I had never really met the Cullen's. Ever since I came to Forks in 7th grade I was told to steer clear of them, because apparently they are all biological siblings, and two of them are dating. I kind of felt sorry for them, because no-one at school even talked to them. From what I saw of them they were all really beautiful, although I had never even seen them up close, they seemed to keep their distance from people.
I was never one for parading around on dresses, but I had a list of 'OK' occasions:
Prom
sweet sixteen
my wedding
other people's wedding
red carpet event
posh date.
It was my mom's idea to make a list, so she knew when she could buy me a dress.
I am a sophomore at the minute, and in Forks high only seniors get prom, so mom was going to have to wait a few years before she could buy me that prom dress.
My brother Emmett is 18, so in July it is his Prom. I made it my mission to find him a not slutty date, because if he picked his date, he'd end up with the senior version of Lauren. So far I'd had no luck because as the grades go up the girls get sluttier.
Emmett and I were sat in the car outside the supermarket, while mom and dad were buying decorations for my birthday party tomorrow. It was going to be really fun. I had already seen my birthday cake thanks to Emmett.
"Its a-" I cut him off.
"Emmett I swear to god if you tell me and ruin the surprise I'll kill you." I yelled at Emmett who was trying to tell me what mom and dad had got me for my birthday.
"Ok sister, but there's no way you could kill me." he said flexing his huge muscles.
"I know because your on steroids right?" I joked.
"God how many times... there is nothing illegal about these swans." We both laughed.
"Oh so your muscles now belong to the queen of England do they?" I teased.
"He he," He poorly mimicked my girly giggle, "We'll see who's laughing when I win worlds strongest man cos' there's no way your having any of my money." he said proudly.
"Whatever Emmett." I groaned, " And when they do the drugs test your gonna fail and get all your money taken off you!" I laughed. I was only joking around with him, I knew he wasn't really on steroids.
"You two." Mom said when she opened the car door to find me punching Emmett in the arm several times without him even flinching.
"He was trying to tell me my birthday present!" I pointed at Emmett.
"Emmett!" Mom said in a shocked tone.
"Oh now you've really got me in shit squirt." Emmett grumbled.
"Language!" Dad said getting in the drivers seat, "Bella your not finding out your birthday present until tomorrow."
We began driving back home on the deserted road. I looked out of the window down the huge cliff. It was steep, and a really far drop. I remember once hearing a scary story about a guy who committed suicide on the cliff and now haunts it.
Dad forgot his seat belt so he let go of the steering wheel for one second. The road began to curve into a tunnel, Dad didn't catch the steering wheel in time, and the car carried on rolling forward towards the edge off the cliff.
" Charlie!" Mom shouted.
We hit the floor with huge impact. Mom's head hit the dashboard and she was out cold. The heavy shopping bags that were on my knee rolled off and crushed my ankle. Something hit me in the rib, causing sharp strain, that made me shriek with pain. My arm was also injured in the process. I was paralyzed I could hear, see and smell, but I couldn't move or feel anything but pain. I heard a shatter of glass, when I looked to the windows they were all already broken. Oh this was bad, my hearing must be delayed! I tried to unbuckle my seat belt, but I couldn't even twist my neck to see if Emmett was OK.
"Bella!" I heard him groan quietly. I tried to speak, but my lips wouldn't part to let out any noise. I tried to hum so that he would know I was conscious, by my voice was shattered and I couldn't even do that.
"Bella?" He fussed. In a second he was in my eye line checking me over. I tried moving my eyes to look around, but my body wouldn't even allow me to do that. The only thing I could do was blink. I blinked rapidly getting his attention.
"Bella your alive." He sighed in relief. He wiped red liquid from my head. My immediate reaction would have been to wince, but I couldn't even do that. Oh no... red liquid... Emmett please don't faint on me please. He fell unconscious back into his seat. I tried to sigh but I couldn't even do that. All I could do was sit and stare in front of me at what was moms watch. I glared at it for seconds that turned into minutes, then finally became hours. I looked at the time before it all went black. It was 2:38pm.
I woke up seeing all blackness, until my eyes adjusted to the dark and I realized where we were. I could move now. Granted every time I did every inch of my body had shooting pains.
" Emmett." I shook him with my left arm as I couldn't move my right, "Emmett wake up please!" I sobbed, but he was still unconscious. He had cut above his right brow and his lip was bust open blood pooling everywhere. The time was 10:54 pm It had been hours and no-one had come yet.
I carefully took off my seat belt and realized there was a sharp pain in my ribs. Ouch I was in so much pain. I had to slide out of the shattered windshield as the door was frozen shut. I went to my fathers door to see he wasn't there, the window in front of him was shattered too and he was lied on the bonnet face down.
"Daddy!" I screamed.
"Bella?" Emmett's voice begged.
"Emmett." I cried running round to his door as fast as I could with my injured leg arm and rib.
"Emmett," I said getting him out of his door. He appeared to be fine probably better than me.
"Bella get dads phone from the front seat and call the ambulance." Emmett froze when he saw dad crippled on the bonnet and mum with a huge dint in her skull that made me want to throw up.
"Hello ambulance please." I said urgently.
"Where are you?" The woman asked calmly.
"Um the deserted road-" I didn't know what it was called, "Emmett what's the road called?" I asked him.
"I don't know tell her its on a high cliff near la push beach." He yelled back.
"Its on a high cliff near La Push beach." I said urgently.
"OK we'll send someone right away." The woman said before hanging up.
I walked around to the bonnet to find Emmett checking for a pulse on dad so I went to do the same for mom. I felt a pulse but it was very faint and I knew that if the ambulance didn't get here soon she was a goner.
I went to go see how Dad was doing, "Is he OK?"
No reply.
"Emmett what's happened is he OK?"
No reply.
"Emmett tell me!" I demanded.
The only reply I got was a slight shake of his head and a tear falling from his eye. This was the first time I had ever seen Emmett cry. I sat down beside him and he wrapped me in his huge arms.
"Everything will be OK I promise." He whispered hugging me in closer.
The ambulance arrived putting Dad on a stretcher and Mom too. They gave us blankets and sat us in the ambulance and questioned us on the way to the hospital.
"When did the crash happen?" The woman asked.
"12:30 pm or something I can't remember too well." I replied.
"Did you check their pulse?" We both nodded.
"Was your mother's OK?"
"It was very faint but it was there?" I said sniveling.
"Your Father's?"
I looked at Emmett who looked up at me and then back at the woman and shook his head. I gasped. Was my dad dead?
"Who was the first to come back to consciousness?"
I held up my hand. I really didn't feel like talking anymore, I really didn't feel like living anymore.
"Did either of you feel any pain?" she asked.
"My lip hurt and I had a bad headache." Emmett replied quietly.
The woman looked at me. I pointed to my right arm, ankle, and the left side of my rib cage.
"Can you answer me with a sentence?" She asked politely, and I shook my head, "That will do for now thank you."
I began to sob loudly, and before I knew it a pair of huge arms were holding me. Emmett lifted me onto his knee and sang my lullaby that Mom made for me when I was little.
I fell asleep on his knee. I dreamed about my birthday with my mom and dad and Emmett. Even Jacob was there. There was sparkles everywhere, just the way I wanted. I was sat on Emmett's knee and he was cradling me when Mom and Dad brought my gift to me. I was in a small black box with a silky bow on it. I lifted the lid off and peered into the box, but before I could see what it was I woke back up. That was how my birthday should have been, but now I was going to be sat in hospital waiting to see if my Mom and Dad were dead. Not much of a birthday.
The ambulance had just pulled into the Forks hospital car park.
