The night passed quickly

The night passed quickly. The outside word became lighter and I began to hear sounds of a new day beginning. Shortly after the arrival of these preparatory sounds, a set of foot steps proceeded down the corridor towards my door. It was opened by a petit blond nurse dressed in a navy blue uniform. She carried in a tray of various items and hummed to herself sweetly as she entered. She headed straight for my bed but did not look up at me until she went to check the machines.

"Gosh! Hello there honey. Well isn't it good to see you awake." She continued to chatter as she checked me over giving me no time at all to respond. I simply smiled and nodded at the right places and let her do her work.

When she seemed satisfied that all was in working order she stopped, looked at me and placed a warm, aged hand on mine

"You gave us all quite a scared young woman. Now; do you know where you are, or what happened?" she asked in a cheery but serious voice. I swallowed a few times and attempted to speak and was pleasantly surprised at how easily it came to me: the formation of words.

"I assume I'm in hospital but I'm not sure why. I can't seem to remember," I hadn't given it much thought before hand but now my forehead creased in painful concentration. There were some things I could remember as clear as day but there seemed to be something missing. Some memory that stretched for quite a while that didn't seem to exist. It was like there was a hole in my memory like someone had simply cut a chunk out.

"You've been in a coma for about 2 months sweetie. You witnessed something very traumatic and now, to save you own sanity, your mind has essentially locked it away. It is something that we cannot tell you, but you much remember it yourself when you are ready to handle it. Now enough about that, I shall go and wake your parents as they will be thrilled to see you awake. While I'm there how about I get you some food, you must feel quite hungry."

With that she left and I didn't see anyone else until Renee walked through the door 20 minutes later.

"Bella! Oh love, how wonderful it is to see you awake," immediately slipping into her maternal role she began fussing; adjusting my covers and pillows, and doing anything else she thought she should.

I watched her with curious eyes. There was sadness in her face, sympathy of some kind that she dare not mention though it seemed to cause her physical pain. I grabbed her had to stop her.

"Mum stop. What is the matter? Why are you so upset? I'm awake now and I'm fine,"

"Oh bells, honey, just know that we're all really sorry. We love you very much…" Charlie had to step in.

"Bells, everyone is here for you. We want to help in any way that we can so all you have to do is ask. It must be so hard for you, and to have watched it happen too…" not Charlie had to stop.

What was the world coming to? Renee sorry about something and Charlie speechless from emotion, something was not right. The nurse couldn't have walked in at a better time.

"She may not remember some things. If what happened was traumatic enough to out her into a coma then chances are it will keep it from her until she is strong enough to deal with it."

This didn't really help my cause that much but at least Charlie and Renee seemed to settle down a little. Both my parents then seemed more interested in filling me in on the things I had missed while I was out. Apparently nothing much had happened but they felt like telling me anyway for the sake of talking. They spoke about my friend Angela and Mike and Eric, all of whom had some to see me at some point. Phil and Renee had been staying over at Charlie's and were helping to redecorate. Charlie had either been her with me, at home decorating or down at La Plush fishing with his friend Billy Black. At he mention of La Plush I perked up.

"How is Jacob?" I asked suddenly really enthusiastic. "Has he been to see me?"

"We had a hard time trying to stop him. He was here every day the first month you were out but then he had to go to school." Charlie chuckled, "He started going on about how he didn't need school anymore but he needed to be here for you when you woke up. Said he had some unfinished business that needed straightening out, if you know what he's on about?" I suddenly went light headed and happy at the thought of Jake needing to see me. I began recalling time when I had heard his voice during the past 2 months, even if I couldn't remember what he had said. Even though I had huge gaps in my memory, Jacob Black kept popping up. Whether it was us on our motorbikes or us simply hanging around at his house, all I had were fun memories of Jake even if he had annoyed me a few times. Then something else cane to me. One of the latest memories I now had was of Jacob and I in a forest, high up a mountain. I remembered my revelation, at the time, that I was in love with him. I remembered him going on at me for weeks about how I was in love with him but just hadn't worked it out, and then finally accepting it up on the mountain. We had kissed, and kissed well. I couldn't understand why this memory was not completely happy, like there had been something that had got in the way, but I didn't remember what it was. It was simply another hole.

I came back to the real world and just caught the end of Renee's sentence.

"… being a Saturday I'm sure Billy will let him come up." I smiled at the prospect of seeing my Jacob and a felt a few butterflies tingle in my stomach.

"Goodness, look at the time we had better be off. You need your rest, look at you, you're barely awake now." Renee kissed and hugged me, promising to send Jake up tomorrow morning, and dragged Charlie out with her, closing the door softly on her way out.

I settled down to sleep but for the first few moments, all I could think about was Jacob. I knew, without a doubt, that I was in love with him, but something told me there was a reason we were not together, and it was an important reason.

"Well," I said quietly to myself, "What ever it was, I can't remember it so to me it doesn't exist. Jacob, I'm not letting you go this time."

With that promise on my lips and the Beautiful face of Jacob Black in my mind, I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
