Hi everyone, It's Danielle the author of Picture Perfect. I haven't been on in over a year and I've forgotten my login and password so I had to create a new account! You can still find my stories under my old account – Isabella Maree B. but I'll be posting under this name now.

I know I haven't updated these stories in AGES but so many things have happened in the past year or so. I've moved towns, moved house, had family problems and so much more so please forgive me for not returning as promised. I'll be updating the stories as often as I can – I'm currently running an Etsy shop, blog, finishing school and looking for a job so please don't expect daily uploads. I'll do the best I can and I've written my login info down so I shouldn't forget my password! I hope you enjoy the stories and I'll be back soon! Also please note, I've adjusted the story a bit as my writing style has changed. Hope you like it and please review! Xoxo Danielle

BELLA POV

It all happened so fast, in the blink of an eye everything had changed and now I was sitting beside my boyfriend now knowing if he would ever wake up. It was heading on towards 1am and I refused to leave. We had been driving home from his friend's birthday party Cooper was driving. We turned around a corner when suddenly we were hit from side on, Cooper got the brunt of the hit. I remember the car spinning out of control, we came to a halt as we hit the roads barrier, my head was spinning and I quickly looked over to Cooper who was unconscious "Cooper" I mumbled trying to move "Cooper" I called louder but he still didn't budge "COOPER!" I screamed but still nothing, the driver of the other car drove away, tires screeching loudly as the car drove further and further away leaving us here alone, cold and bleeding.

I struggled desperately against the seatbelt that was restricting me I finally managed to unbuckle myself and I reached over to check Cooper's pulse, it was faint, he was alive… for now. I looked him over and cringed at the sight, he was bleeding from the head and I could see that his leg was broken. I started to cry as I looked at him, just minutes ago he was laughing and joking with me, being his usual cheeky self and now he was lying here clinging to life. I grasped his face, blood seeping onto my hand as I tried desperately to wake him "please wake up" I sobbed gently tapping his face "please wake up" I whispered burying my head in his chest, I managed to reach down to my bag to grab my phone and quickly dialled for an ambulance. Within minutes I could hear the sirens getting closer and closer "help is coming, just hold on a little longer" I whispered as I again tried to wake him.

"what are you doing here" a voice echoed and I woke with a start, it was morning and I was curled up on the hospital chair, a blanket spread over me. I looked up to see a Ella standing over me "go away Ella" I groaned as I sat up straight, stretching out my arms and legs "why are you here?" she asked impatiently "I'm his girlfriend" I said not bothering to look at her "some girlfriend you are, this is your fault you know" she said and my head snapped up "excuse me, the only person to blame here is the person who hit us" I said returning my attention to Cooper "Ella here is your…." Elizabeth trailed off "Bella" she muttered glancing to Cooper's bed then to Ella and then to me "you need to go" she said and I looked at her stunned "what?" I asked shocked "you need to leave" she repeated and I shook my head "no way" I said turning back to Cooper "please leave or I will call security" she said "unbelievable" I muttered standing up and grabbing my bag. Ella gasped; "Cooper" rushing to his bedside "Ells" he said smiling as Elizabeth dropped her cups and raced to his bedside, Cooper looked at me and frowned "who are you?" I blinked as I felt my heart hit the floor, Ella looked at me and smiled. The three of us were soon ushered out of the room by nurses and doctors while they went over Cooper, Elizabeth told me to stay until after we found out his condition but I couldn't stand Ella staring at me with that smug grin. I refused to leave, I had to find out if he remembered me. Sid called us into Cooper's room and I stood against the wall not wanting to get in the way.

I looked at Cooper and my heart sank as he glanced back at me with a blank expression, I couldn't stand looking into his blank eyes so I looked to Sid while I waited for him to explain what was going on "Cooper is suffering from Retrograde Amnesia, he doesn't remember the accident that put him here but he does remember his family, you Ella, his name, date of birth and address but recent things he doesn't remember" Sid said before being interrupted by Cooper "and her, I don't remember her" he said pointing at me, I couldn't help the tears that formed as I looked at Cooper wondering if I would ever get him back "and you Bella, he doesn't remember you" Sid said quietly with a sad look on his face, I nodded trying to blink the tears away as I looked back to Cooper who was desperately trying to remember "were you in my accident, you have bruises all over you" he asked and I rubbed my sore arms "yeah I was" I whispered as Ella gave me another smug smile "are you happy now" I spat harshly before looking to Cooper "good luck" I whispered honestly before heading for the door "wait" he said and I stopped not wanting to turn around "who are you?" he asked desperately "just somebody that you used to know" I replied over my shoulder as I exited the room. I walked quickly to my car, once I was inside I locked the doors and sat for a moment as the tears rolled down my face. I brushed them away and took a deep breath, started the car and pointed it in the direction of the house.

What did you think? Not much changed, just a few tiny details and I changed the end. I'll be uploading the second chapter straight away so keep reading on - I have a bunch of new ideas for this story and would love if you could review and tell me your thoughts! Thanks, Danielle xoxo

P.S: In case you were wondering I used to spell my name with 2 n's but I've gone back to spelling it the way my parents intended. I really am the author of the original stories!
