Chapter 2

I stared at the face of an angel before me. She was a beautiful girl with brown hair that reached down to her waist. Her skin was pale, very pale. She had a very slender body and

she was breathing in short, small breathes. I stared at the pure beauty of her face, analyzing it. I stared for several minutes until I realized that I had to check on her condition. I looked

at the heart beeping machine (what is that machine called again?). Her heart rate was steady. I looked at her unmoving form. She was very still. The only movement I could see was her

chest rising up and down. Nothing else moved. Not even a twitch. I put my hand on her forehead. She didn't feel cold or warm. Just normal. I wondered about something. I heard from

Carlisle about coma patients and how they can hear what you're saying. I decided to try it and I introduced myself. "Hello Bella. My name is Edward Cullen and I am your doctor."

I thought about what I should say to her. Maybe I should talk about myself. I definitely can not ask her any questions. "I am new here and my father is the head doctor in this hospital.

I wanted to be a doctor ever since I was five. It was my dream to save people and I studied hard and eventually became qualified to become a doctor. I'm only 17 years old too." My voice

was filled with happiness. Could Bella actually hear me? Well it's still nice to talk to her. So I continued. "My father is Carlisle Cullen and my mother is Esme Cullen. I have a sister named

Alice and I have a brother named Emmett. Alice is very hyper. She has spiky black hair and she's very graceful. She is a shopping maniac too. She forced me to go shopping with her and

she made me carry ALL the bags. Whenever she goes shopping, she has an uncanny ability to go shopping for 10 hours straight and get 25 bags of clothes." I

grimaced. "Luckily I am not the only one who carries the bags. Jasper, her boyfriend does too." I smiled, remembering Jasper, who was like a second brother to me. "Jasper is very

charismatic. He can make anyone understand his intentions or actions and he can make people happy. Jasper is a very calm person. It is a good thing they are a couple because Jasper

can calm Alice down." Just as I was about to describe Emmett, a woman came into the room. Her face was streaked with tears. It was also very puffy and red. She looked like Bella so I

immediately knew that this woman was Bella's mother. Bella's mother stared at me with a puzzled face. "Who are you?" She whispered. Her voice was so soft that I could barely hear it

and it was filled with agony and sorrow. I wondered how it would feel like if anyone related to me was in a coma and felt sadness for this poor woman. I smiled at her trying to make her

feel comfortable. "My name is Edward Cullen and I am Bella's doctor." She stared at me with a hopeful expression. "Is she getting any better?" I felt regret for what I was about to

say. But as a doctor I needed to tell her the truth. "Her heartbeat is steady and her condition has not changed at all." Her face lost it's hopeful expression. I felt horrible. She asked me

an even worse question. "Is Bella ever going to wake up?" I considered the possibilities. There is a 50% chance she might not wake up. When I thought that, I felt pain and sadness.

I couldn't understand why. I only just met this girl so why was I so worried about her? I decided to think of that later and contemplated on what I should tell Bella's mother.

I decided to give her a true answer. "I'm not sure but she might wake up soon." She sighed. "I hope Bella wakes up soon. I love her so much and I don't want her to die." Fresh tears

were in her eyes. I tried to comfort her by hugging her. She broke down, bawling. Tears were rapidly coming out of her eyes. She stayed like that for a while but slowly began to stop.

She looked up, smiling weakly. "Thank you for comforting me." "It was no problem." I smiled. She blushed a little but then looked at the clock. "Oh no! I am late for work." She ran to

Bella and hugged her. Then she kissed Bella's forehead, smiled a smile that didn't reach her eyes at me and ran out of the door. I slowly walked my way to Bella and sat next to her.

I just stared at her. Time passed by and countless hours were spent just looking at her and thinking. I was thinking of Bella. Where does she come from? What is she like? I spent so

much time that I didn't notice that it was time to go home. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up to see Carlisle. Carlisle simply said time to go. I nodded my head and

looked at Bella one last time. Then I followed Carlisle out the door, still thinking of Bella. I thought about her as I was going home. I didn't need to worry about concentrating on the road,

for I was a natural at driving. I drove all the way home in silence, just thinking about Bella, the angel.
