Chapter 2- Strong Arms

That was two months ago. Both Emmett and I stayed together at the hospital for two days. If it wasn't for Carlisle and his family. Along with the nurses I don't think either one of us would of eaten, showered, or even got any sleep. On the Morning of the third day. Emmett and I were standing on either side of our father. We both had a hand in one of his he had squeezed each one briefly and then that's when it happened. The monitors went crazy. I don't honestly recall much of what happened except for hearing both Emmett and I screaming out to our father. That's when a pair of strong arms grabbed me and began to pull me out of the room I knew I was screaming and kicking trying to get back to him, but the strong arms kept a firm grip on me never letting me go. Once I calmed down some what I began to relax into the arms of whoever was holding onto me. That's when I heard him say.

"it's going to be OK. Shhhhhh......Go to sleep." The voice said as I began to slip into unconsciousness.

I had found out the next morning that is was Edward that had calmed me down and dragged me out of the hospital room and held me as I struggled against him. I had woken up not only in his arms, but in his bed with him.

-Flash Back-

The sun was bright and I knew I wasn't in the hospital anymore. I tried to roll over, but found that I was blocked by something soft yet almost rock hard. When I opened my eyes they fell on the bare chest of a young man.

"Good Afternoon, hope you feel better and slept well. Sorry you are in my bed, but after everything this morning you wouldn't let go of me. Even when I tried to lay you down in Alice's room." That had to be the most beautiful voice I had ever heard fill that had just filled my ears and when I looked up I was mesmerized even more by his gorgeous emerald green eyes.

I quickly averted my gaze at the events of my fathers passing. Before I could stop it I found myself crying again. Only this time instead of Emmet. It was this gorgeous young man that pulled me closer to him just waiting until I calmed down again.

"Shhhhh. calm down....shhhhh..." He continued to repeat and whisper in my ears until I finally calmed down.

It seemed like eternity before my sobs ceased and I was able to catch my breath again. I tried not to look at him I was embarrassed at what just happened.

"Bella.... Please calm down. I know Emmet and my father are expecting you when you wake up. They have a few things they need to discuss with you. OK..." He calmly explained to me as he slowly and carefully began to release me from his hold so that I could get up. "If you would like Alice has a fresh set of clothes set and ready for you in my bathroom along with and feminine items that your may need I will see you later OK."

Then it hit me. Alice... his sister... OMG... This was Edward. My Edward. Best friend up until I left in 8th grade. My one and only crush. I was in his room, his bed, and in his arms. He had become the most gorgeous looking young teen I had ever seen. All I could do at that moment was nod my head realizing that my voice would betray me if I tried to speak. So I just lifted the covers off of me and swung my legs over the side of the when I realized that I was not waring the clothes that I was waring at the hospital.

"Um....Ware are my clothes?" I squiked out. I was in a pair of dark green pajama pants and a white T-Shirt.

"Oh,... Alice changed you when I brought you back to the house I was originally going to lay you down in the guest bedroom, but you wouldn't let me go unless there was someone that continuous contact with you. So when Alice changed you. You were OK, but when she went to go get ready for the day. You began to scream and cry hysterically. Alice had already gotten in the shower and Rosalie was still trying calm Emmet down. So I came back and well as soon as I touched you you began to calm down immediately. My father suggested I keep you with me for the time being. So hear we are. And yes those are my clothes. Alice's are just to revealing to let anyone else have to put them on who wouldn't approve of them." He explained and I began to blush as red as a tomato.

"Thanks, Um....I'm Going to go ahead and take my shower now." I replied realizing in some ways I was still shock for not only today's events, but at the alarming gorgeous sight sitting in front of me.
