Preface: Pain
(Bella PoV)
My scream cut off in a strangled sob, my body instinctively curling in on myself as the pain flared throughout my body. Spots speckled my vision and there was a roaring in my ears. The pain wouldn't stop, no matter what I did; it continued to lick at my insides, my heart and abdomen. I just prayed to die; it would be a better feat than this torture. My life had no meaning anyway; Edward was gone. My family was gone. I had nothing without them. Nothing else mattered.
I suddenly felt hands on me, one on my side and the other on my cheek. I was about to push them away; I did not want to survive this. But the temperature caught me off guard, making me freeze. I forced myself to open my eyes, focusing firstly on the snowy complexion of my capture. I slowly moved my eyes up and golden eyes met mine. The brown tousled hair was even more in more of a disarray than usual and his topaz eyes were wide with alarm. My body relaxed under his grip, allowing him to hold me down. My body was still curled in a ball, gripping my sides for dear life. The pain still raged on but I didn't fight anymore; I felt safe.
My body slumped against the hospital bed and I gripped the rail tightly. Edward's eyes locked with mine and he saw the emotions I had worked so hard to hide: the fatigue, the hunger, the betrayal, but most of all the pain. I was hurting and he knew it too; he knew he was the cause of it. But, even under it all, while my body cringed from the pain it could no longer take, I was okay…because I hurt for him.
