Chapter 2. Rescue

I don't own these characters, they're Stephenie Meyer's. I just put them in my story.

That night I had surprisingly slept well, I guess it was probably from being so exhausted. When I woke up, I was no longer in pain. I threw the sheets back, I picked up my foot as I examined it. It didn't hurt, and the swelling had gone away. As I was still lying in bed, I took the bandage off, then rolled my ankle a few time, then flexed my foot. I took a shower, got dressed and went downstairs. I was so happy my ankle got better, I let out a high pitched squeal, then skipped happily down stairs. Everyone was standing in the living room they saw my skip in, and then do a quick turn. Esme gave me a big, but gentle hug, and said "Felling better already Elizabeth?"

I nodded then said "Yes, much better! I woke up today feeling like a new person. I feel great!" I was so enthused. "That's great honey." Bella commented.

"You know what? I think I'm gonna leave for school. I wanna get their early so I can talk to Kristy."

"You sure you aren't hungry? You didn't eat dinner last night." Edward said.

"No, I'm not hungry at all. I feel perfect." I said with a smile, I turned away picked up my book bag, a few books, then headed for the door. Bella and Edward stopped me.

"Elizabeth, aren't you forgetting something?" Bella asked.

I thought, then had no idea what I could be for getting so I asked. "Not that I know of, what is it?" I said confused.

"Your jacket of course." Edward said it like it was really obvious.

"Oh ya, I forgot it yesterday when-" I stopped when I realized it was yesterday when I first saw Jason. Jason, the one who made me blush, the one who cared for me when I was hurt. Snap out of it Elizabeth! I was shouting at myself inside my head. Your smile is probably shinning like the sun right now, and your cheeks are probably as red as roses! I Shouted back at myself in my head again. Once I 'snapped out of it', I looked back at Bella and Edward who looked curious about what I was just gonna say.

"Never mind." I said quickly.

"Ok, don't tell us, just go grab another one of yours up stairs." Bella said like 'problem solved.'

I smiled back, "No, that's ok. I'm planning on getting it back today."

Bella and Edward gave each other a puzzled look, then both turned back to me. "Ok, bye. Love you." Edward said. They both hugged me.

I didn't realize until I was in my car what I had said to my Bella last night. I felt bad, but it was the truth, and at the moment I was just trying to make a point. Oh, well, that's in the past now. I'll just try to forget about it. She must have, she seemed fine this morning, maybe she's trying to forget about it too. It might take her a while though, what I said was really hurtful. I hope she doesn't remember those hateful things I said to her.

I was still on the small road on my way to school when out of no where a deer jumps out in front of my car. I swerved to the side, my car ended up crossed across both lanes. The deer was safe, but I just about had a heart attack! I laid my head back on the seat, and sighed in relief. Abruptly, I heard a loud honking. I twisted my head so fast, to see what was coming at me….. It was a huge semi truck. I tried starting my car, it wouldn't start. I kept cranking the keys forward, hoping the engine would start, but it didn't. So much for having some fast sports car Ferrari when it won't even start! I was thinking hastily. Unexpextedly, I saw a pale figure by my window, I couldn't recognize him at first through the rain, and fog, but once he came into better view, I knew exactly who it was…. Jason. I opened my door and yelled "Jason, my car…. It won't start!" I was so panicky, and shaky, it was hard to speak. "Ok, get out of the car!" he yelled back. I was pushing the button for my seatbelt to come out but it wouldn't. "Jason, it's stuck! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I'm gonna die!" I screamed. "Don't worry Elizabeth, you'll be fine. Just wait here." he demanded.

"Like I have a choice." I yelled, even though nothing should be funny about the situation I was in right now, it sounded like a joke.

I stuck my head out of my car door, than turned around. I saw Jason standing beside the semi truck. I couldn't believe my eyes! Jason stuck out his arms and pushed it to the side. It eventually came to a halt. There I saw huge visible dent marks on the side of the semi from where Jason had placed his hands, when stopping it from crushing me.

When he finally came back to me I pushed one more time on the seat belt, and it came off. He was back at my side in a flash……literally. It was amazing!

"Jason, what just…..how did you?" My head felt like it was spinning, I felt my eyes starting to close. I was passing out from what just happened. After I swerved to the side, and hit the breaks avoiding the deer, I had what looked to be red rashes on my neck, from when the seatbelt pulled me back, the airbags had gone off, and I banged my head on the steering wheel. This all happened before Jason showed up, so by now I felt very faint.

"Elizabeth, can you here me? Are you all right? We're gonna get you some help don't worry." He said. I could tell he was trying to calm himself down too.

I flew out of my trance, dizziness and started to cry for many reasons that for all I was not certain of. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," was the last thing I remembered hearing. I opened my eyes just a tad to see the bright white light. Great, I thought, I must be in a hospital. I opened my eyes all the way, I saw Jason. He was sitting in a chair beside me. I didn't know what to say, so I just said "Hi." "Hi sleepy head." He said back with a smile. I let out slight moan when I tried lifting my head up a little bit. He was standing up beside me now, eager. "Does your head hurt? What about ant muscle pains?" I smiled at him and simply said "No."

After a few minutes I was thinking out loud. "Great." I said sarcastically. "Just another reason for my family to be overprotective around me." I sighed.

"All that matters now, is that you're alive, and you will be healed entirely in two days hopefully." He assured me.

I started thinking about how he saved me, I leaned over the side of my hospital bed trying to whisper "I wonder" I said, then stopped to see if he would care to know what I was wondering about, and he obviously did. "About what?" he said at a fast pace.

"About how you saved me. I mean first of all you showed up out of thin air, and then the next thing I knew, you stopped a semi truck. You left dents on the side of it." I was trying to catch my breath.

"Elizabeth I don't think you remembered but I was walking to school. I was in perfect view on the side of the road, I don't know how you could have mised that. I don't know what you saw, but none of that happened. I don't know what you're talking about." He said unevenly.

"Oh please! You know exactly what I'm talking about!" My voice was getting louder.

"I think I better leave. You shouldn't get worked up like this." He walked out the door. I jumped out of the bed and hasted after him.

I must have past my family in the waiting room because I heard a few voices calling my name. Jason knew I was following him he finally turned around.

"Elizabeth, what do you want?!" He shouted.

"The truth, god dammit!" I shouted back at him.

"I can't tell you." He said through his clenched teeth.

"And why is that? Just tell me, please!" I begged. I was crying and angry at the same time.

"Ok. But not now. Later." He started to walk away again and I grabbed his arm to stop him. He looked back at me with intense eyes.

"Promise?" I asked.

"Fine." He said sternly, as he pulled away from my hold.

I stood their for a few seconds, staring in the direction that he left in. The next thing I knew I was in cold pale arms.

"Elizabeth what happened are you ok?" Bella asked. I didn't answer right away.

"Elizabeth?" Edward said urgently as he shook me.

"Um, ya I guess." was all I could say.

They knew something happened, but they probably weren't told the same story that I knew was true.

"Come on Liz let's get you home." Alice said as she came next to me.

We pulled up in the driveway. Edward carried me out of the car all the way up stares, then laid me on my bed. He kissed my forehead lightly, then said "Sleep now, my little darling." With that said I fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up there was more sun in my room than usual. Crap. I thought. How long have I been sleeping. I staggered down the stairs. I was down stairs, walking in the hallway, when I leaned up against the wall, then slid down it starting to cry. I rested my head in my hands as I was crying. Someone showed up beside me, followed by Edwards voice. "Now what's wrong Elizabeth?" He asked with concern.

"Everything." I said.

"Is it about what happened today? You can tell me you know." He guaranteed.

"I know, but I don't want to talk about it right now."

"Ok, maybe later than."

"Maybe" was all I said, then he helped me get up from the ground.

"I think I'm gonna eat now, I'm starving."

I ate lunch, did some homework, then listened to music on my ipod, afterwards I decided to go back down stairs, I wanted to play some of my music on the piano. I sat down on the piano bench, placed my fingers on the keys of the piano then started to play. I wasn't playing anything in particular, just a random song I started to play now. Sometimes I will start out on a note, and work the song from there, but right now I couldn't even explain it. It sounded so perfect, like a song that had already been written. The sound was calming, relaxing, blissful, and makes me feel like I'm in my own world where nothing can harm me and that everything is gonna be ok, but it's never really like that, is it? The song reminds me of something, but I'm not certain what it is. I slowed down the last few notes at the end of the song, so I could here the beautiful melody just a bit longer. When the last few notes were over I heard applauding. I turned around to see my whole family smiling and clapping for me. I smiled too, and laughed "Thanks guys, did you really think it was as good as I thought it was? Or was I just dreaming it was that way?"

"No it was good Liz, it was incredible! Where'd you learn to play that song?" Edward

asked.

"I don't know. After I played the first note my hands took over and just played

themselves. The song,….. It reminds me of something, I just…. can't remember."

"That's interesting. Oh, well whatever it was it sounded beautiful." Edward stated back. I got up from where I was sitting and asked Edward "Hay, do you mind if I go out real quick? I have a sweet tooth right now and I wanted to go to Cold Stone and get some ice-cream." I said pleansentful.I looked back at him and said

"You have ice-cream here to you know so you don't have to go out."

"I know but I want a different kind. Besides, they have every flavor you could imagine." I said back. I smiled remembering how I just said I had a sweet tooth, and wanted to go out so I could try a new flavor. It reminded me of the story where Edward craved for Bella's blood; that's what he had a sweet tooth for, that was his new flavor. I giggled at the thought.

Edward looked at me then smiled, with a little chuckle and said "Sure, go ahead. I know what it's like having a sweet tooth for something and wanting to try a new flavor" he laughed at the end of his sentence, then turned and looked at Bella. He was thinking the same thing I was, I thought. "Hey, can I come with?" Emmet asked, and I gave him a weird look as I said "Suurree." Alice laughed at Emmet's questin to go with me for ice-cream.

"I mean, just for the ride of course. To have something to do."

"Wow, Emmett I don't feel used at all, but very loved." I said sarcastically.

"You should feel loved, we all love you silly." Emmett picked me up and gave me a big bear hug. "Emmet,….can't breathe, cutting off, oxygen." I tried to say. He set me down and laughed. "Oh, you'll live."

"This time." I said back to him. Everyone laughed. We got back at eight-thirty that night, and I wasn't tired at all. Emmet, Jasper, Rosalie, Alice, and I played a few rounds of B.S., then I went upstairs to bed.
