"H- how is she doing?" Asked Charlie in an uncomfortable voice.

I heard a sigh filled with pain. "The mental trauma is worse than the physical. A few cuts and bruises from the fall. . . I'm so sorry Charlie. If we had known it was this bad. . ." Carlisle's voice broke.

"I just don't understand. I thought she had been doing better. Ever since she started hanging out with Jake. . . I never thought she would-. . ." Charlie was unable to finish the sentance. I saw how much my actions had pained him. But that still could not bring me to regret what I couldn't finish.

My eyes opened to the sight of the saddened Alice sitting in a chair next to my bed. She brightened slightly when I looked at her. "Bella?" She leaned forward, resting her hand on my arm. "Bella, please talk to me!" She pleaded with agony.

Tears flowed from my eyes again and I closed them turning into the already wet pillow. I heard shuffling feet as people silently filed out. I shifted my head to gaze around the room. For the first time I realized I was in a hospital. With pale pastel colors coloring the walls and bed. Machines beeped with wires dissapearing every where.

I turned my body more and saw Esme sitting in an uncomfortable looking chair on my other side. She put her hand on mine and I almost wanted to flinch away but didn't want to pain her more. She smiled and spoke. "I know how it feels to want to take your own life. . . and I regret that my family is part of the cause. . . Edward loves you." Pain shot through me again. "I'm sorry." She whispered and left the room.

Only seconds later Jasper poked his head through the door. "Mind if I come in?"

I forced myself to shake my head and he stepped in and took the seat Esme had been occupying. I watched as he sat there staring at me. Our gazing was not uncomfortable but it made me start to think. I thought about my 18th birthday party when he had attempted to take my life. I relived the moment when Edward had told me he didn't want me any more. I went back over the past months without him. The nights I cried through.

Before I knew it I was crying agonizing tears. My whole body shook. Jasper, poor Jasper had had to go through all of the emotions with me. He pulled back sobs and covered my hand with his. His eyes were painful even to look at. "I'm so sorry, Bella." That apology was meant to cover so many things. The attempt on my life. The part played in taking my family from me. And now the forced living of my tortured life.

I had never felt closer to this quiet vampire in all of my time knowing him. Now someone else was feeling what I felt. Though I felt immensly guilty, it was comforting to know I was not alone.

He smiled as my fears and pains started to numb. "Do you want to sleep?" He said quietly.

I nodded my head and then cringed at the thought of being alone. "Will you stay with me?" I whispered knowing he could hear me.

He noddded his head and I closed my eyes fighting for sleep. I could still feel the pressure of his hand and knew that sleep came so easily thanks to him.

I slept soundly without nightmares thanks to him and woke somewhat refreshed. I opened my eyes with the slightest of smiles until I remembered where I was and why I was there. Grief over took me again and Jasper winced. I smiled apoligeticly.

The light streaming through the windows indicated that it was sometime during the day. Alice popped through the door way. "I'll take it from here, Jazz." He stood from his seat and sent me a smile. As he passed Alice he squeezed her hand. She took his place and stared at me as if expecting something.

"You aren't going to leave me alone are you?" I asked already knowing the question.

She avoided my question and changed the subject. "I've missed you so much, Bella. I need my sister back. . . I'm so glad you're going to be staying with us."

"What?" I said in shock.

She covered her mouth. "Oops!" She looked at me apoligeticly. Then stood and said "I'll be right back." And bounced out of the room only to return moments later with Charlie and Carlisle.

Charlie took and uncomfortable step towards me. "Hey, Bells." He looked at me with so much hurt.

The only comfort I could give him was a faux smile. He returned it awkwardly. Carlisle cleared his throat and spoke.

"Bella, Charlie and I have been discussing your. . . well- being. We have found that it would be best if you came and stayed with us for awhile. . . We've decided to move back to Forks and would be glad to have you in our home."

I saw what they meant. I couldn't be left alone anymore. Charlie couldn't take care of me and so I was going to be pawned off onto a family who didn't want me. I stared blankly at the wall.

The next thing I knew Charlie had kneeled down in front of me and took my hand in his. "They're going to help you, Bella. I- I can't. I'm sorry. . . I love you, baby girl." He kissed my forhead and strode from the room.

I closed my eyes and shut myself away. I didn't go to the meadow for I had lost my way. I was stuck somewhere between there and reality. I was in a dark place where only blackness was to be found either way I went.

I stayed here for who knows how long. I lingered until I was sure my insanity was at it's breaking point and finally decided it was time to return the the real world again.

When I opened my eyes I was in a new room. This one had dark gray walls and a lighter gray carpet. It was definatly not a hospital room due to the fact that there were no machines and no wires. There was however a more comfortable bed. The only other furniture in the room was a dressor with my bag of toiletries atop it.

I was startled to hear a deep growl and shouting from somewhere below me. Downstairs maybe?

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" an all too familiar melodic voice roared. I shuttered as sweet memories of it flooded over me. He had never sounded so severe yet it was so beautiful.

Then a second later my door flew open and an angel stepped through.

A/N

Oooh! cliff hanger. . . sorry guys. But it doesn't matter I'm sure you can all guess who just walked through her door. But, can you guess how she will react and how he will take seeing her?

Hmmmm... You'll just have to wait and see. . . Reviews?
