BPOV

I awoke with the feeling that something or someone was standing over me. When I looked up I could only see a blur as the painkillers were still in effect. I slowly sat up and rubbed my sleepy eyes. "Who's there? Edward?"

"No. I am Jonathan. I came to apologize." Suddenly he came into focus. He was tall, built like Emmett. His hair was golden blond and shaggy, only slightly longer than Edward's.

"For what?"

"I was the one who hit you. I'm sorry. Your vampire friend looked at me when I stepped from the car and ran. I didn't know if you lived or died but I knew that if you were alive that I had to apologize for my actions." He dropped his graze from my eyes and stared at the floor.

"Well you need to leave."

"I have one question before I go. Why is it that a human girl is being saved by a vampire?"

"Because… I'm her boyfriend." I turned to see Edward standing in the doorway. I couldn't see any of his face but his eyes and by his voice he was pissed. Within seconds he was at my side and face to face with Jonathan. "You need to leave…now." He reminded me of his actions against James when were at the baseball game. His eyes were increasingly getting darker with each passing second.

"I have questions for her and mark my words I will have them answered." Jonathan turned and disappeared into the shadows. Edward didn't move his gaze from the shadows until I placed my hands around his clenched fist.

"Edward?" His name escaped my lips as a whisper. He looked back at me. Anger flooded his eyes and then they became tender.

"Bella, I'm sorry." I was confused. He took his hand from mine as he walked around the bed and placed his strong hands around mine. His head was down and his eyes were hidden from mine.

"Why?" He looked at me and his eyes would have welded up with tears if they could have. "Edward, why are you always sorry for everything that happens to me?"

"Bella, I love and there is nothing I could do without you now. Your beauty inhabits my mind every second of everyday. Your touch sooths me, calms me no matter what the situation is. You also know that your sent is maddening. I love you so much and I never want to see you in any pain. What's worth having this curse if I can't protect the woman I love, Bella?"

His soft spoken words were so heartfelt; he was telling me the inner workings of his mind. This was a first for him I mean he also told me that he loved me and the reason's he would never hurt me but nothing that was ever this deep. "Edward, I love you so much and no matter what I will always love you. Nothing you do could change that."

His eyes never broke contact between us. We were silent except for the sound our steady breathing. I didn't want this moment to end. He slowly rose from the chair his hands slid up my arms until they rested on my cheeks. He leaned down and kissed my lips with the most passion that he had ever given me. Our moment of exchanged words was nothing compared to this experience.

"I am sorry to interrupt." Dr. Cullen was standing in the doorway. He was holding a clipboard with a file latched under the clips. His back shoes popped out from under his long white doctor's coat. I had only seen him like this one other time and that was over a year ago. The thought brought a quick smile to my face. "Edward, Bella is never going to heal if you are always kissin' on her." He smiled and walked closer, "Bella, your father will be here in a few hours to take you home. All your tests are fine you just need to go home and rest." I nodded and he turned and left the room.

Edward looked out the doorway and shook his head with a smile on his face. He leaned down once again to kiss me but I pulled away. "You heard your father he said that I'll never get better if you don't stop kissing me," my words were dripping with sarcasm. He moved to stand up but I pulled him back to me.

"I thought you wanted to get better?"

"If I get better you won't be by my side as much." I smiled and he leaned down and kissed my lips with the same amount of passion as before. He broke the kiss and ran (at vampire speed) and closed the door. Instantly back at my side he kissed me again before once again we had another interruption.

"Bella, how are you feeling? I was so worried that you were…" Alice was talking a mile a minute.

"I'm fine Alice. I'm going home soon and all I need to do is sleep," I smiled whole heartedly.

"Bella I was too late to catch you and now your hurt…Again." She was try to lighten the mood on herself I could tell. She was horrible at it.

"Alice do you want to sit down," I asked her she smiled and grabbed the hunter green chair and pulled it next to my bed. "Did you see some guy come in here earlier Alice?" Edward's hand squeezed my a little but I shrugged it off.

"Yea I did and I saw Edward punch him in the face which is why I didn't rush I knew Edward would take care of you." She looked at Edward who rolled his eyes and looked back to me with that same half smile on his face.

"Alice what time is it?"

"It's almost eight… why?"

"Charlie is supposed to-," the door flew open and as if on cue Charlie walked into the room. He looked at me with a smile and then at Edward and Alice with confused looks.

"Shouldn't you two be in school right now?" He looked like he hadn't gotten much sleep there were bags under his eyes and his eyes were bloodshot. They didn't answer fast enough.

'Dad they came to see me." I plastered a huge smile on my face.

"O well you look a lot better Bells." There was an awkward silence then he left the room and his calling voice paging Dr. Cullen. We all broke out in immediate laughter.

"He looked so lost when he saw us," Alice was busting at the seems. I calmed myself before Charlie along with Dr. Cullen entered to room.

'What is so funny Alice," Carlisle asked with a hint of you're a dork in his voice.

"Nothing you wouldn't understand. You would have had to have been there." She composed herself and we all were silent as Carlisle gave the verdict.

"I have to check your vital and then you can go home Bella." He reached up and disconnected the bag holds the fluids from my IV and paged the nurse.

The nurse came in with her cart carrying the blood pressure gage and the thermometer. She quickly took my vitals, removed my IV and I was ready to go home. "Crap I have no clean clothes." I looked around the room hoping to find something other than the opened back gown I was wearing.

"Here Bella I brought you clothes." She threw a bright red bag at me. I closed my eyes and waited for impact but felt nothing. Edward was holding the white handle in his hand. I grabbed the bag and changed into the jeans and huge T-shirt Alice had packed and made my way to Charlie's car.

"Dad I am going to tell Edward good night and I'll be right there." He nodded as I walked over to Edward. "So do I get to see you tonight?"

"Only if you want me to."

"My window is always open," I smiled and gave him a kiss before getting in Charlie's car. I sighed and looked out the window of the cruiser as we dove away. I saw Edward mouth "I love you" as we pulled out and I knew he would be in my room before we even pulled into the driveway.
