I looked to the west and saw Emmett and Jasper waddling in waist-high water in the river. They were trying to get to the other side. Jasper pushed Emmett and he landed in the water on his butt. Emmett stood up and chased Jasper. Jasper then fell. They began to wrestle in the water. This was the funniest thing I've seen in weeks. I clutch my sides and begin to cry with laughter. I lose my balance then fall from the 18 foot branch I'd been sitting on. I began to scream which caught my best friends' attention. They ran over to try and catch me. I waited for the thud which would mean I land on the floor. But it never came.
I looked up into those sparkling, emerald eyes. I wish the floor had caught me, not the monster holding me.
Chapter 2
Injuries
Bella's POV
As Alice and Rose reached us, I began to scramble out of his arms. I soon scrambled too much and fell, butt first. As far as I could tell, there were no injuries. Rose ran off to tell Emmett and Jasper that they'd found me as I tried to get up. After a minutes struggle, Alice helped me up. I began to run backwards, looking right at Edward. I was about to turn to go into a full sprint when I tripped over this gigantic tree root. Again, they rushed over. My head was banging so fiercely I couldn't concentrate normally. I felt light-headed, which seemed usual after all my casualties. I felt my head to see if there was an obvious reason for the banging. I pulled my hand back after feeling a warm and sticky liquid. I looked down to find a puddle of a bright scarlet liquid. My blood. The last thing I saw was Emmett running over and pulling his top off. Yet, the last thing I felt was Edward kissing the top of my head.
I felt warmth. I felt a bed sheet. I heard murmurs. I saw Edward. My own personal angel sent from the devil. A/N: Does that make sense? It sounded right to me.
"Alice, where are you?" I croaked. She was out of my sight.
"Right here Bells." She said, gripping my hand.
I followed the sound of her voice to see Esme, Jasper and herself sitting on my left. Emmett and Rose were standing in front of my bed, whereas Carlisle was sorting out some kind of machine attached to my head or someplace.
"Where am I? Please don't say hospital. I've already been there this month." I said. Not trying to be funny but everyone laughed. I remembered my hospital visit for this month.
-Flashback-
Alice, Rose and I were in Phoenix. We were shopping, again. The third time this week. I was walking and talking, not looking where I was going. We were walking ahead and Alice and Rose side-stepped. I did the same thing to find out the reason why was there was a post in front of me. I didn't stop; I carried on walking, right into the post. I fell backwards and caused a scene of hundreds of people. Alice and Rose took me to the hospital and we found out I had cracked a rib. That was three weeks ago. I usually went once a month because I was an accident prone.
-End of Flashback-
Rose walked over and hugged me. "Don't worry Bells. Carlisle is treating you at home. Well, our home. We told Charlie and he's come over everyday."
"How long have I been out?" I asked.
"Since yesterday," Emmett ran over and crushed me. "Don't worry, sis, you'll be fine. Why were you in a tree and how did you fall?"
"Well," I began to explain. Then I decided, I didn't care if I hurt him, it was his fault. "You know I ran out, didn't you? Well, after that, I ran into the garden, and tripped over a tree root." There were giggles so I stopped and joined in.
"Anyway, I crawled behind the tree and cried over what had happened and what I did wrong." Everyone looked at Edward who looked away. "Then I heard you all coming and climbed up the tree. Then I was sitting around 15 foot high. I was looking around and heard Alice shout 'They're Gucci!' after I'd thrown my shoes. Next, I saw Emmett and Jas wrestling in the water which made me laugh and lose my balance. I fell down and landed in arms." I looked at Edward who stared back. I turned my head back to Alice and Jas.
"Then I fell out of the arms and ran backwards. I knew it was stupid but I wasn't bothered. I just wanted to get out of there. Next thing I knew, I'd tripped again over a tree root. And that there was blood. That's it. And now I know I was treated by a wonderful doctor in my second home." I'd finally stopped explaining and saw Edward leave the room.
"Well, Bells. You have a cracked skull, which was only minor, a bruised ankle which is also twisted." Carlisle listed. Not bad for me.
"Thank you Carlisle. Thanks everyone. I don't know what I'd do without you." I thanked. I seriously did not know what I'd do without this family. Though Edward is part of this family, I wish I could take him out of the equation.
Emmett and Jasper went to play on Emmett's X-Box, while Rose, Esme and Alice went shopping. Carlisle went for something to eat after telling me I was able to get out of bed as long as I was careful.
I picked up my guitar which was beside my bed and went into the library upstairs as it was raining outside. The fire was already on so I went and sat in front of it. I began to play another song which had just popped into my head. I called it How I Feel.
I swear sometimes,
That this is not real,
But the truth is,
It's all that I've got.
There's no boy in this world
Who loves me,
As much as I love him.
Chorus:
I've got to let him know how I feel,
It's time to let it flow
And even if it's not how I want
At least he will know
That my love will last forever,
Even if his don't,
I gotta let him know
That it's time to show
Just how I feel.
He let me down and he knows,
Exactly what I am,
A girl who has loved him
For all of his life
Since we were best friends
And before that
I gotta know how I feel now
Chorus:
I've got to let him know how I feel,
It's time to let it flow
And even if it's not how I want
At least he will know
That my love will last forever,
Even if his don't,
I gotta let him know
That it's time to show
Just how I feel.
Life will get tough sometimes
But at I'll know that's how I feel
I felt someone's presence in the room so I turned around. I saw Edward standing by the door frame with tears running down my face. I want to run up to him, to hug him and tell him it's true. But he hurt me, so I will too. The song I wrote the other day came into my mind and I sung it. I didn't care anymore, why should I?
Edward looks at me,
I fake a smile so he won't see Edward
talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
That I want and I need everything
that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks
about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
That I can't even
see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally
got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at
night
The
only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song
in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
Edward walks by me,
can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so
perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better
hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
and know she's lucky cause
He's the reason for
the teardrops on my guitar So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light He's
the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on
a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know
why I do
I'll
put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight
The only one who's got
enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep
singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's
never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into...
Edward looks at me, and I fake a smile so he won't see.
Tears were running down my face now. I hated him so much, yet I loved him more than my own life. I'd known him for my life, and that's how he repaid me.
"Bella..." He whispered then I heard footsteps exiting the room. I sung the last line of the song again.
Edward looks at me, and I fake a smile so he won't see.
A/N: Hope you liked it! This has two songs in it, hope it's alright. The one that was in my previous chapter is by Taylor Swift and it's called Teardrops On My Guitar. The first one was made by me and was crap! Anyway, please review! xxxx
