I watched as the air conditioner in the hospital blew at her soft brown hair. It flew around her face in little twirls. She was the most beautiful person in the world. I would never want to lose her. But I may not be able to see her conscious ever again. Bella. My sweet Bella. In a coma. And its all that damns werewolves fault.
I warned Jacob not to let her ride those bikes again. But Bella had ran away while I was on a hunting trip. Alice couldn't warn me in time because she visiting Germany for the latest fashion show.
I saw Bella flinch. "Carlisle?!" Could she possibly be awake now?
"I'm sorry Edward, it was just the immune system reacting to the morphine." Carlisle looked down at the charts. "Edward, you do realize she may not make it much longer, right?"
I sighed. "Yes.." I looked back to my sweet Bella. Did she feel anything beneath the coma? Did she feel pain? Was this my fault? I shouldn't have left her unguarded. I should have known she would go see Jacob while I was away.
"Carlisle?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"How long will she be... With us?"
"No more than an hour I'm afraid." If I could cry right then and there, I would. But I am not capable of that. I wish I was. I wish I could show some sadness. I wish I was human. I wish I wasn't that monster.
I almost wish I never met Bella so I wouldn't have to endure this. But the last year has filled my life with such happiness. My life that means nothing to me anymore. Only that Bella would be the only thing that mattered and that I can't go on like this.
Alice then came into the room. "Edward, she'll be awake in a few hours. If I were you, I would go hunt. When shes awake she won't like to see you hungry."
What? Could she possibly awake soon? I nodded and headed out the door. My sweet Bella would soon be awake. I would take care of her. I won't let her near Jacob ever again.
