Esme POV
"I love you too," I called to my husband, stepping out onto the road. I was about to go out shopping with Kate, Tanya, Alice and Rosalie. I waved back.
"Esmelookout!" he yelped suddenly, pure fear reflected on his face. He started running toward me.
"What-" I was thrown sideway and the world went black.
"Esme please wake," somebody was urgently begging me. They sounded like they were speaking down a tunnel.
I begrudgingly tried to force my eyes open.
"Wake up you have to wake up," they continued.
I finally managed it. My ears rang and everything was too bright. I looked up at Carlisle who was leaning over me.
"Honey what's wrong?" I asked, reaching up to wipe the tears off his face.
"Don't move," he pleaded, holding my arm still.
"Carlisle?"
"Are you hurt? Where are you bleeding from?" He was panicking. As he spoke I realised his hands were covered in red and we were lying in a growing puddle of blood. "Esme where are you bleeding from? I have to make it stop- I have to-"
"It's okay, love. Just clam down," I tried to keep my own tone calm but I was too unnerved by seeing him this upset. My thoughts started to get foggy.
"Don't go back to sleep!" he cried. "Esme!"
I was vaguely aware there were people surrounding us.
"You have to stay awake, I cant lose you," he was quieter now, even more fearful that before.
Suddenly he was ripped off me. Eleazar picked me up, helping me back on my feet but still supporting most of my weight.
"Are you alright? Does anything feel broken?" he asked quietly.
"No, I think I'm fine," I told him. "I might have knocked my head but I think that's about it."
He looked as confused as I felt. "Come sit down." He carefully took me over to the curb and helped me sit next to Rose and Bella. They both looked shocked.
Rosalie slid her fingers into mine.
"Esme…Carlisle's bleeding…" Bella said quietly.
I glanced over at him. All of a sudden in made sense; I wasn't hurt because he had taken the impact. The only knock I felt was him pushing me out of the way.
"Carlisle!" I screamed, running towards him.
He glanced up at me and tried to say something.
Then he collapsed.
