Chapter 1

Beep, Beep, Beep

What was that annoying beeping Beep, Beep, Beep "Urggg" I groaned as I opened my eyes to a blinding white light. I quickly shielded my eyes with my arm. Once my eyes had adjusted I sat up slowly to assess my surroundings. I was met with white walls, a window covered with a white blind and the horrible smell of disinfectant that could only mean one thing I was in the hospital. I heard the door creak open so I quickly turned to face whomever had entered the room but before I could get a word out I felt an excruciating pain in my abdomen. I gasped at the unexpected pain and felt tears burning behind my eyes I took a deep breath but gasped again when another shot of pain went through me. I felt the tears running down my cheeks. It took a couple of minutes for the pain to subside and for me to realize that there was someone rubbing my back assuring me that I was ok. I very slowly looked to my left and saw a very beautiful lady wearing what appeared to be a nurse's uniform with the most beautiful moss green eyes and a concerned smile. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as I blushed.

"Are you feeling a bit better now sweetie?" The nurse asked "Y Yes T Thank Y You" I stuttered in reply and gave her a small smile. "Well my name's Esme and I am your nurse. Now would you like some pain medication?" Esme asked nicely. I nodded my head in confirmation and slowly laid myself down again. Before nurse Esme had even stood up the door slammed open and Charlie burst into the room eyes darting everywhere until they landed on me. Then quicker than I thought possible I was pulled into a very painful. "OW Dad your hurting me" I said softly "Oh I'm sorry bells I didn't realize are you okay do you need anything what happened" Charlie rattled off so fast I had trouble keeping up. "Who Dad slow down I'm fine I'm in pain but I'm okay and Esme here was just about to give me some pain medication" I could see Charlie visibly relax once he heard I was okay. "But as for what happened I was hoping you could tell me?" I asked confused and terrified that I couldn't remember what had happened. I was just starting to work myself up when I felt the sting of a needle going into my arm and instantly started to feel myself relax and become drowsy. "Calm down Bells I'll tell you what I know when you are feeling better try getting some rest" Said Charlie concerned I sighed but gave in and let myself succumb to the black of unconsciousness.

I awaken suddenly by someone screaming but quickly realised that it was me. I also noticed that I had tears running down my face. Then I heard the door bang open and a scared looking Esme come rushing towards me. "What's wrong Bella are you okay? Are you in pain?" she asked her voice laced with worry I just shook my head I tried to get myself under control but it was no use. Esme was quickly at my side when I started sobbing and gave me a gentle hug so to avoid my injuries. "Do you want to talk about it?" I shook my head again and gave her a soft hug back to say thank you. Esme continued to hold me for a couple of minutes while I calmed myself down. "I'm sorry about that," I said so quietly it was practically whispered. "That's ok sweetie. Do you need anything?" I just shook my head again and laid myself back down "Ok well if you need anything just press the button and I'll be right with you ok?" I nodded my head in confirmation and watched as Esme walked out of the room. She gave a small wave as she excited the room I returned the wave and carefully rolled myself over to see out the window. I felt the tears return to my eyes as I remembered why I had woken up screaming.

Flashback

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring Hi you've reached the wolf man Jake I'm not here right now please leave a message after the howl "HOWL". I smiled as I heard myself laughing in the background in the message but frowned at the fact that I'd reached his message bank again. "Hi Jake its just me Bella calling to see where you are as I thought we were supposed to study tonight anyways call me ASAP. Love you bye." That was the third voicemail message I'd left and I was beginning to worry I mean Jake always answered his phone and if not he always called me straight back. I mean he's already 1 hr late.

As I was sitting at the table worrying Charlie interrupted my thoughts. "Has Jake not arrived yet Bells?" he questioned I just shook my head with worry "Well maybe you should try calling Billy and see what's up?" he responded positively this is what I loved about Charlie he always had a solution. I quickly dialled Jake's Dad's Billy's number. But it rang out no one picked up." Any luck?" asked Charlie "No I'm worried Dad I mean Jake's never late and he's never not answered his phone" I stated "Maybe he's sick why don't you go to his house and make sure he's ok?" said Charlie I smiled and nodded my head. Then quickly grabbed my keys gave Charlie a kiss on the cheek and left for Jake's house. On the drive there I was reminiscing on our relationship as I was thinking about it I noticed that Jake had been a bit distant lately. I shrugged it off as I approached his house. Once I'd parked the truck I went up to the front door with a sense of dread filling my every being I shook it off. Then knocked on the door when no one answered I knocked again but got the same response. So I decided to walk in I mean I was practically family having known them my whole life.

I pushed the door open slowly and walked in I closed the door behind me. "Hello Jake, Billy anyone home" I asked nervous I got no response I was just about to walk back out again when I heard someone giggling and it sounded like it was coming from one of the bedrooms. I walked slowly towards the hallway. Then as I was nearing Jake's bedroom I heard someone moan "oh Jake…" I gasped what on earth was going on then against my better judgement I opened Jake's bedroom door and was met with a scene that ripped my heart from my chest. I saw Jake on his bed with my best friend Leah on top of him completely naked. They still hadn't noticed me and were still in the middle of their passionate embrace. I could feel the tears already streaming down my face. Not thinking or knowing what to do I slammed his bedroom door shut and ran towards the front door. I heard Jake and Leah laughing in the background and then just as I went to run out the door I heard Jake say "Oh and just so you know we are so over" I quickly ran out of the door slammed it shut and got into my truck. I was about halfway home and I decided to pull over when my tears were obscuring my vision. I sat there for about 10 mins and calmed myself down. Then I pulled back onto the road eager to get home and have a shower. Just as I pulled out a lorry coming down the other side of the road swerved and hit the front of my truck causing it to roll over and smash into a tree. I hit my head on the steering wheel and blacked out.

End of Flashback

By the time I had finished reliving the memory I was sobbing again. I lay there for about 10 mins until I forced myself to calm down. 10 mins later I fell asleep.
