Once again this story is dedicated to my two besties Ethel and Lucy especially EPOV you wanted it here ya go ladies

oh and like my other stories its not beta'd if you want to beta it feel free to PM me.

I took the last flight into to London from JFK I knew I was pushing and Aro; my US swim coach would be laying into me at my six a.m. Practice. I knew getting into London at midnight was not a very smart move on my part. It was my only chance to see my sister before the games started and knowing I would be stuck in Olympic village most of the time, or sleeping between heats and races it was really the only time I could spend with her.

Alice has been my rock since we were in the womb together, I think I kicked the bejebus out of her and in retaliation she became this spunky pixie. Alice and I were like two peas in a pod, we got each other completely it was like I could read her mind and in return she just knew exactly how my life was going to be. She knew my head would be swimming with awful thoughts on the long flight across the pond and she knew I needed her comfort.

It was the smartest thing I ever did, when I wasn't sleeping she talked my ear off about her new fashion line. Although I have no clue what a midi is, or what haute couture or ready-wear means, but it kept me from thinking back to four years ago and how everything was taken away from me in the blink of an eye.

I had just swam one of my practice swims before my first gold medal race, it was the 200-meter backstroke. I had secured lane four after the prelims I knew I had the gold in my hands, my only competition really was my teammate Mike Newton and he was in lane five, behind Newton was the Australian favorite Riley Beers in lane three. I was sitting in the hot tub warming up my muscles after my swim when my Coach at Stanford, coach Clapp tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up into his eyes and I knew something was wrong.

"Edward you need to get dressed, your dad is waiting outside the building for you." Coach Clapp whispered in my ear, so no other swimmers were privy to our conversation.

I knew it was bad at that point and climbed out my heart pounding in my chest, I don't know how but I knew it was Bella, something happened to her, I could feel it in my bones. I rubbed the Swan tattoo on my chest; the ink I got for her a month prior, to let her know no matter what she would always be with me. She was devastated she couldn't make it to Beijing but my Angel had a chance of a lifetime opportunity to tryout for Juliard a lifelong dream of hers and her mothers and who was I to not let her dream come true. I knew deep in my heart she would have given it up for me, but I wouldn't let her.

I slipped my USA track pants over my Jammers and zipped up my jacket I didn't really care that I forgot to use my Sammy and was dripping wet, it didn't matter at this point I needed to know what was going on. I followed Coach Clapp out of the locker room then out of the building as soon as we were through the athletes entrance I saw my dad standing there his eyes were red from crying, my heart sank.

My father led me over to a waiting car not speaking to me, we both climbed in the back seat and as soon as the doors closed I rounded on him. " Dad just tell me, its Bella right, please dad…. please." I pleaded tears falling down my face he only nodded to choked up to talk to me.

" She's alive right… God she needs to be alive, I cant…. I cant live without her." I sobbed.

My dad's arms wrapped around me and held me as I cried. " Hush son." He stopped

She was alive that's all that mattered to me, this earth needed her sweet spirit, I needed her. " Fuck dad what are you not telling me."

" Edward you need to be calmer and I would rather tell you with your mother and Alice and Emmett present, you going to need them son. Please can this wait till we get to our hotel." He asked. I knew it was bad at that point if he thought my mother, Emmett and Alice needed to be there. I turned away from him and let the tears flow, my mind was swirling with the possibilities of loosing my love.

We pulled up to the chic hotel they were staying at, the valet opened the door and we got out of the car. I vaguely heard the shutters of the cameras being shoved in my face as my father tried to push pass the Papps. I don't really even know what they were saying to me or how they knew I was here at this hotel. All I wanted to do was get up to my parent's rooms so I could find out what the fuck was going on.

I heard the elevator doors chime and my father led me inside, I think I was walking on autopilot. The doors shut and I slumped down to my knees pleading with god to save her, I fucking needed her like air.

My father picked me up as the doors opened up to the penthouse suite, and led me into the living room and sat me on the couch. " Stay here I going to get your mom she's at the Spa and Alice and Emmett should be here in a few minutes they were out shopping I called them and said they needed to get back here. I only want to say this once it's too much to tell multiple times."

I sobbed harder; I couldn't take this not knowing. I looked up into my father's eyes pleading with him to just tell me something I just needed something to go on.

He closed his eyes. "Edward she's alive son, I know you are thinking she's gone I can see it written all over your face."

I stood up. " Of course I thought she was dead, you fucking wouldn't tell me a thing, what was I suppose to think dad, you're a god damn surgeon you've seen it all and you couldn't even tell me what happened to the love of my life. For Christ's sake what was I suppose to think." I grabbed the vase off the coffee table and threw it against the wall.

I felt the warm embrace of my mothers arms wrap around me and pull me down on the couch. " What's going on Carlisle, why is our son throwing expensive vase's from the Ming dynasty at the wall.

" What the hell is a Ming Vase doing in a Hotel anyway." My father shouted back at my mom.

" I'll have you know I donated it from our collection when I came here last year to oversee the remodel, we have so many damn knickknacks."

" Would you two stop the fucking arguing over a damn vase please I…. I can't do this."

" Edward watch your language."

" God mom its Bella, I cant."

Her tiny gasp made me cry harder she loved Bella almost as much as I did, I knew whatever my dad had to say would kill her just as much as it was killing me.

" No Carlisle… tell me its not true please no not my baby girl." She sobbed and held on to me. She loved Bella just like a daughter.

My father held us both as we cried on the couch, the boisterous laughter of my older brother washed over me, I wanted to punch him how could he be laughing right now.

" Oh my god what's going on." The whimsical voice of my wombmate washed over me I felt calmer knowing she was here, I needed my rock.

" Everyone sit down please, Edward is going to need all of us, we need to be calm." My father said. Always acting like the professional doctor that he is.

" Carlisle please just tell us what happened to Bella…. Please." My mother pleaded with him.

I felt the tiny grasp of my sisters hands in mine. " I knew something was wrong Edward I felt it, but the big oaf over here kept saying it was nothing, I knew… I knew." Alice cried on my shoulder. She always had this sixth sense about her, she would tell me things she felt and would always keep me out of danger " I'm sorry… so so sorry, I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen I didn't say anything I didn't want to worry you. I really thought it was my over active imagination Edward god I'm so sorry." She cried harder.

I hugged her tighter I needed her strength to get through whatever my father was going to say. " Hush, she's alive according to dad but he hasn't said anything else, but she's alive sis, alive." I cried right along with her.

" Jeez dad what the fuck just tell us already." Emmett said as he sat down on the couch smashing us all, I knew he had a tough exterior but deep down Bella owned a part of his heart, she was his little sister.

My father came over and sat on the coffee table in front of me and grabbed my hands out of Alice's grasp. "Edward this is going to be hard, and please just let me get it all out before you start asking question please that goes for all of you."

I nodded my head for him to continue. I just needed to know what happened to my angel.

"Edward I need you to look at me when."

" I can't dad just tell me please...why are you stalling." I whispered against Alice's shoulder.

" Carlisle please just tell us." my mother pleaded once more for my father to just talk.

" Once again I ask all of you to let me get through the story before you ask questions or react okay."

He took a deep breath. " I had just walked in to the hotel after dropping your mom off at the spa when my phone rang, it was a number I didn't recognize I thought I better answer it anyway, a frantic voice was on the other line. She introduced herself as Jessica and said she was one of Bella's roommates."

I nodded my head to let him know that was correct.

" She said she didn't want to call you and mess anything up so she found my number on Bella's phone and called me instead."

He took another deep breath and stood up and started pacing. I closed my eyes knowing that even though Bella was alive, my father was struggling to tell us what happened and that in it-self was a bad thing.

" She said that Bella and Angela had shown up to a party at the kappa house, she said that they had declined her offer to come earlier in the evening." he swallowed.

" She said that Kirk had been bugging Bella all night to have a drink. She said she always declined and just sat on the couch, Jessica said that she had gone outside at one point and left Bella's side. She said that she really doesn't remember how long she was outside but Bella and Angela had come out of the house and Bella was crying."

She promised me she wouldn't go to the party, I knew what went on at those things and as much as I trusted her I didn't trust any of the guys there. I felt my sister squeeze my hands.

" Come on Edward we don't know what happened you need to calm down." Alice whispered in my ear.

" Edward Jessica said that Bella said Kirk was being an absolute asshole and that her and Angela were leaving, she said that she could smell the lightest hint of alcohol on Bella's Breath as she was yelling."

" God no, she never drank, ever dad." I sobbed.

" I know Edward, Jess said that she thinks Kirk put some vodka in her water bottle and Bella drank it not knowing she said it was very faint."

" Jess said she asked Angela if she was fine to drive and she said she only had two beers over a hour before and had drank plenty of water. She said that she felt they were fine, and because she was the designated driver for other girls she needed to stay."

I took a deep breath, knowing the worst was yet to come.

" She said she left ten minutes after Angela and Bella when she came to the stoplight before turning onto the campus she saw the lights of fire trucks and ambulances, she said they wouldn't let anyone through the intersection, she knew that it was the girls so she got out."

He stopped; tears were streaming down his face.

" Dad just tell me."

He stopped pacing and looked at me." Oh god Edward some college kids were racing and ran a red light going 70 mph and hit Angela and Bella, pushing Angela's car into a telephone pole, according to the police the kids that hit them were intoxicated and were racing to the liquor store for more."

I couldn't stop shaking. " Oh god Not her, why... Why her." I sobbed.

I felt my mothers arms wrap around me once more, enveloping me in her warmth. " Carlisle, Bella she's okay right." My mother sobbed.

My father sat back down on the coffee table and caressed my mother's cheek. " I don't know dear…. I don't know they lost her once on the table already…. Her body is so broken." My father wrapped his arms around all of us, I felt Emmett joined in the hug, tears were streaming down my face.

God no please, she has to be okay, she has to live save her please. I pleaded silently with who ever was up there to not take her, it was not her time to go.

" Dr. Grenady is taking care of her, she's in good hands." My father wiped his nose. Behind his tough doctor persona he had the softest, most caring heart.

" How can you say that you are not there, she needs you." I cried harder, we needed to get back home.

" I know Edward and trust me I would kill to be on a plane right now, but the only flight I found was not till tomorrow. The nurses are giving me regular updates, she's in surgery right now to fix her punctured lung from her broken ribs they felt like that was the most important, I totally agree, she was struggling to breath according to Jess. She was unconscious when they brought her in."

The only plus is that she was out of it, my baby girl hated needles I could only imagine how scared she would be if she was awake and nobody was there to hold her hand. I sobbed harder I was stuck in Beijing.

"They are bringing in Dr. Kennedy to asses her knee, ankle and femur on her right side, all are broken, her knee more than likely will need to be replaced. Edward prognosis right now is not good, they said she would probably never dance again.

" Oh god no!" I stood up I needed to get on a plane now, she needed me to hell with the Olympics I didn't want the gold anyway.

" Edward, stop, I know you want to leave and go to her, but you cant son. There are no flights available, I have us booked on a flight in the morning, she's in surgery, they will have her sedated when she comes out for a few days, she hit her head pretty hard when the car hit the telephone pole, there's swelling son. She will be in a coma for a few days and the doctors are grateful, it helps them do their job son."

" You said they lost her once, dad what does that mean." Emmett asked through his tears.

" Son that means she flat-lined on the operating room table, they worked hard and got her back it was only two minutes, and the doctors are sure there wont be any brain damage."

He gasped and covered his mouth. " Okay, she's going to be fine right, she's going to pull through this, she has to…. She's so stubborn she has to be fine, I can't lose my little sis." My tough running back brother was full on sobbing on the couch next to me.

I wrapped my arms around him, he's right she is stubborn. " What about Charlie, he knows right?"

" Yes he's there right now, wearing a hole in the floor in the waiting room, the nurses are taking care of him as well, he said to call him after I talked to you, he wants to talk to you son."

" Okay, what about Angela, you haven't said anything about her." I felt he was leaving something out.

" She didn't make it, Edward she was gone when the paramedics got there, they assumed she was not wearing her seatbelt, the impact was right on the driver's side door."

My mother sobbed harder, Alice was a blubbering mess, Angela was a just as much her friend as she was Bella's. I shook my head, Bella's best friend was gone, and Bella is going to be heart broken when she wakes up.

" Dad I won't be able to race tonight I need to pull out, I can't do it there is no way."

" I knew that's what you would say, Edward think about it, we can't leave till tomorrow, you can pull out of the rest of the races but swim this one for Bella, get her the gold son."

My sister's arms around me brought me out of my musings. " Edward you are shaking you need to sit down, she dragged me over to a bench in customs. " Everyone is looking at us."

I walked over to the bench and hung my head in my hands. I promised them this time was going to be different, I promised them all I was doing this for me, I promised them that I would not let her get to me. Oh how wrong I was, I thought about a lot leading up to these games, is she watching me, or does she really not care at all.

" Hey Edward look at me, I know you are feeling guilty right now, its okay I think about her all the time too. Nobody is going to be mad at you I'm not. Lets just get through custom's and to the house mom and dad rented tonight okay, tomorrow is a new day, these are your games Edward your chance to shine.

We got through customs got our luggage, and out to the car my father had waiting for us, Flash bulbs started going off and the photogs were starting to hound, luckily the driver had the door opened and I hoped in before they could yell at me. I have been hounded since I swam the trials; I just really wanted a break. We got to the house my parents rented in Notting Hill and I crashed in the bed as soon as I walked in the door I was wiped.

I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to show the world that I Edward Cullen was once again the person to beat. I walked into the kitchen; my mother had a cup of coffee and a plate of scrambled eggs and toast waiting for me.

" How are you feeling this morning son." My beautiful mom asked as she handed me my plate.

" Better now that I'm here." I said as I shoved a huge forkful of the yellow deliciousness in my mouth

" Alice told me about what happened."

I scowled at her. " Now don't be like that son, she's just worried about you, we all are."

" I'm fine." I waved my fork full of scrambled eggs. And took a bite of my toast, I don't know what it is but my mom makes the best toast.

" Okay, just don't be afraid to talk to us, I know how hard these games are going to be for you, and I know how hard Aro has been working you. You don't have to show anybody anything Edward, I just want you to be happy."

" I am happy mom."

" Your not Edward, you don't have to try and hide it from me." She wrapped her arms around my neck.

" I miss my smiley boy."

I gave her one of my fake smiles. " I smile see."

" I don't want a fake smile Edward I need the genuine ones back. I need my happy son back, you know the one that use to wake up every morning before school and kiss me on the cheek. I hardly see you anymore, and you are living above the garage Edward. When you are not home your either swimming or in the library studying, you have closed yourself off from your friends Edward, and you have even closed yourself off from us."

" I don't need this right now mom." I shoved my plate of food away suddenly losing my appetite.

" Stop Edward I'm not trying to berate you, it's just when was the last time you talked to Emmett, like months ago., Do you know he called after you won the trails, and you were not home to talk, he said he left you messages on your phone and you never returned them.

" Where is he anyway, I figured he'd be down here scarffing up all the food."

" He's upstairs sleeping, he and his new girlfriend got in after you and Alice last night I'm sure they are tired."

" Girlfriend since when does he have a girlfriend Emmett doesn't date seriously."

" Exactly my point Edward, if you had talked to him, you would have known. Guess they met when he went to Dallas to train a month ago, her name is Rosalie, and I expect you to be nice to her understand." she waved the spatula she was holding in my direction.

I gave her the good old salute. " Yes ma'am."

" Now run along you smell like recycled air." She swatted her dishtowel at me. I got to the doorway of the kitchen before she called out.

" Oh and don't forget to shave wouldn't want any drag."

" You are such a smart ass mom, I get waxed mom waxed. " I giggled and headed upstairs to jump in the shower.

I finished up in the bathroom and wrapped a towel around my waist and stepped out into the hall. I headed down to my room, I must have left something in the bathroom cause a shriek came from the way I had just came.

I looked at the clothing items in my hands and noticed my boxer briefs were missing, I giggled and headed back that way. Thinking it was Alice I pushed the door open to another shriek and a blonde chic standing there in a pink silk robe she threw my boxers at me, and slammed the door to the bathroom shut.

Must be Emmett's new toy. I chuckled all the way to my room. I got dressed in my USA gear grabbed my bags and headed down to say by to my mom, nobody else was up, but it was a long drive to the athlete's village and I needed to get over to my practice.

God Aro' was on my ass the whole practice, constantly yelling at me, I gave him everything I got in the pool, Mike was slacking off and he was not yelling at him, why me?

I climbed out of the pool ready to punch a wall, when really what I wanted to do was shoot Aro; maybe I could borrow one of the US archer's bows and shoot him in the heart. Every lap he was screaming don't repeat your same mistakes, he was pushing me I know but when I got out of the pool to go sit in the hot tub to warm up my muscles and take a break he would not stop. He even went as far as too mention her name. He knew it would piss me off and I would take that aggression out in the pool, and I was going to prove to him and everyone else that doubted me that these Olympics were going to be different.

I ripped off my swim-cap and walked straight into the locker room ignoring everyone on my way in. I slammed my hand against blue tiles of the shower and collapsed to my knees and sobbed. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her but having someone else talk about her like they knew her cut me like the sharpest knife. I closed my eyes letting the warm water cascade over my face bringing with it memories of the last meet before the NCAA championships, before I had Bella in my life.

You were right it is amazing, I totally liked what I saw.

By the way congrats on your new record

~ B~

I can't believe she left that note complete with a smiley face on my windshield, here I thought she didn't even bother to show. I was confident my whispering in her ear that in no way have I ever padded my swimsuit, by the way I still cant believe she asked that, would have worked and gotten her there. Little did I know this girl was anything like the girls that threw themselves at me on a daily basis? No I would have to work hard to get her attention.

I was so nervous going into that meet all the guys called me out on it, I tried to play coy saying it was a huge meet, Olympic coaches were going to be at it for Christ sake, but they all knew me. There was no competition out there, they knew I would blow everyone out of the pool. When I walked out on deck I craned my neck looking for any signs of Bella AKA Bikerchic to my friends, but I never saw her anywhere I did see my parents up sitting in the bleachers and gave them a little wave.

I shook the nerves out of my system and swam the best meet of my life I even beat my personal best and broke the school record in the 200m fly. I was on such a high as I walked out to my car then I saw that note under the wipers of my silver Volvo. That was one of the best days of my life.

I knew without a doubt she had a thing for me. Too bad it took my two weeks before I got my nerves under control enough to ask her out. I had been stalking her for those two weeks, I'm pretty sure she knew it too especially when I showed up outside of the dance room door, and Jessica and Angela walked out giggling and said Hi Edward really loud. Bella blushed and finished her dance. After she was done she walked out of the room looking beautiful as ever. The only thing I could say was do you want to go get some coffee.

It was the lamest date ever too, coffee at the bookstore after class, what was I thinking luckily for me after my lame attempt at a date she agreed to go out with me again. She even went as far as to say.

" Maybe we could do Ice cream at the bookstore next time you stalk me at dance class."

She was such a breath of fresh air, watching her dance that day; there are no words to how graceful and beautiful she is on the dance floor. But get that girl off the dance floor and watch out graceful she is not. She spilled her hot coffee all over me and she tripped three times on the walk over there and every time she blushed that beautiful red hue and I fell in love with her.

The hot water of the shower cascaded over my body as I stood up relaxing the tense muscles in my shoulders; I ran the pad of my thumb over the swan above my heart. I needed to get myself under control, Aro's first words to me as I set foot in the practice pool were" you better not let your past dictate your future."

He is right, this is my Olympics, my time to shine. Bella or no Bella this time the gold is mine.

A/N: I hope you liked it
