Chapter 3: Now what?

"Beep, Beep, Beep-"the steady beeping of the machine brought me back into consciousness. Continues sobbing is what kept me there.

Groaning I slowly opened my eyes. Reene sat at my bedside her head folded over buried in her arms, which were folded comfortably on my bed as she sobbed into my sheets.

"It's ok" I said stroking her hair trying to comfort her and cringing in pain as I did so, How could this hurt so much? Reene must have noticed to because her head shot up like a rocket.

"Oh baby!-"she wailed "- I'm so sorry!"

"It's ok, I'm fine" I said weakly. I really did not sound fine at all. What had happened? I remember standing by my truck, seeing Edward- Edward! Where was Edward? I shook my head lightly wincing as I did so. Why was I even thinking about him? He hardly even knows I exist and even if he did why would he be visiting me? My mother looked at me worriedly. I must pretty bad, maybe even worse than I felt.

"I'm fine mom, really! Don't worry" there my voice sounded stronger already.

"Where's-?"

"Charlie's downstairs is getting some coffee and Phil's at the hotel dealing with some things…" she trailed of quirking her head to one side as she spoke.

"Depending on whom you were talking about…?" shaking my head again causing another quick shot of pain down my back, I have got to remember to stop doing that!

"No that answers my question perfectly" Actually I really didn't know who I was talking about, and I don't think it was either of them.

"I should go get Charlie and notify the doctor that your conscious again." She said talking to herself more than me.

"Your father is going to be so happy you're awake! Phil to, really the whole town is going to be ecstatic once they hear the news!" let's hope they don't hear the news. I thought glumly to myself as I nodded smiling at her.

"I'm going to go get them" she said successfully ending her one way conversation and walking out into the hall. I relaxed back into my pillow closing my eyes, sleep calling to me.

"Oh no you don't!" a voice said from the doorway. Snapping my head back up and opening my eyes I saw the doctor for the first time, he was a beautiful man with porcelain white skin, amber eyes and blond hair. This must be . Edward, Emmett, Alice, Jasper and Rosalie's father, although I couldn't imagine him having kids at all much less five teenagers.

"You've been in a comma for almost two months now and I don't think it would be wise to let you take a nap just yet." Bringing his eyes down to the clipboard in his hands he flipped through a bunch of documents with an expression that suggested he was reading a good book.

"Well-"he commented looking up from the medical papers.

"You gave the whole town quite a scare there Isabella."

"Bella. It's just Bella"

"Bella." He said smiling.

"You should consider yourself very lucky Bella, the van not only crushes your legs when it officially stopped moving but it also broke four of your ribs when it first made contact before you officially hit the ground receiving a very serious concussion." I winced in remembrance.

"Well now that I have seen that you are in good condition, you have some visitors. And you are not to fall asleep, understood? Doctors' orders." I nodded weakly not trusting my voice. He smiled and began to exit the room passing Angela, Jessica, Mike, Eric and a boy with a tight with bandage wrapped around his head, which I recognized as Tyler.

"Bella I'm so sorry!" He said crossing the room, and kneeling down at my bedside.

"What are you apologizing for?" I said glancing distractedly at my other friends who were standing in the doorway watching our conversation very cautiously.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! - I didn't try to-"he stumbled for words for a bit.

"The van hit the ice wrong, I couldn't control it!" He wailed burying his face in his hands with his elbows rested on the edge of my bed.

"You where the one who hit me?"

"I am so, so sorry, Bella!" he from behind his hands. Startled, I fought to find something to say.

"Tyler-"I started flustered. "It wasn't your fault, it could have happened to anyone." I said attempting to reassure him.

"Yah" Mike spoke up. "Don't worry about it man see, Bella isn't even mad." It was then that I noticed that Mike had moved to the side of the bed with my hand held lightly in his as he stroked the palm of my hand. Tyler groaned in response.

"Seriously dude, its ok, it was an acci!-"Tyler shot up into standing position with startling speed for someone who had just moments ago been groveling at my bedside. Mike- in response- quickly dropped my hand tucking his own behind his back, a strangely fierce yet arrogantly fearful expression on his face, before he quickly wiped it away settling for un-emotional. "Hi Edward" Jessica squealed; 'well somebody's excited' I thought bitterly. No! Knock it off! He's not your or anything so knock it off! He's probably running an errand for his father or something, nothing to do with you. Edward gave a curt nod in Jessica's direction never taking his gaze off me, his face filled with a fierce sort of protectiveness. Hmmm weird… " Hey good thing the door was open. When you first got here Edward ripped the door right of its hinges, busted a hole in the wall and everything!" That is weird, why would my arrival here create such a reaction in Edward, especially considering the fact that this is me we are talking about. Edward growled menacingly, yet still his gaze remained firmly planted on me. "Tyler, Eric, Jessica, Angela, it's nice to see you. Just visiting Bella? "We were just leaving" Tyler said quickly. It was very apparent that he was afraid of Edward. Yeah, we have to go." Angela said stepping toward the door, while dragging an outraged Jessica along with her. Everyone else followed her lead, a grumbling Mike went out last closing the door quietly behind them. And then it was just Edward and I, Now what?

Authors Note:

Ok so this one was a stretch to write because I didn't know if I should put Edward in right away; keep him out (kind of like New Moon) I really had no idea. And once I decided I wrote like five different scenarios before finally settling on one. Anyway it's going to be in Edwards POV next chapter which I did not want to do at first but yah…

SO if any of you guys have questions ask me PM, Review I don't care but yah next chapter up Saturday at the latest and PLEASE REVIEW! Seriously every time someone reviews it just makes my day I'm not even kidding constructive criticism (no fire please! :) saying what you liked it really doesn't take that long so please! (sorry the Authors note is so long tell me if it bugs you!)
