I woke with a scream remembering the collision. I sat bolt up in bed and cried out in pain, my chest pulled uncomfortably, I hadn't even seen the damage yet but apparently it was vast.
"What happened?" I heard a voice and looked towards the door to see Alice there, she saw my hand over my chest and frowned all but running to my side. She took my hand away and replaced it with hers. I gasped embarrassed, the bandages were right between my breasts.
"Shh, shh, its ok, Carlisle warned me this may happen; I'm going to get Jasper ok? He can help me," I nodded, trying to breathe deeply but only causing myself pain, Alice flittered to the door and called for Jasper, almost immediately he was there. I assumed their room wasn't far away. They came at me almost threateningly. I gasped again causing pain.
"Ok, Lilly, slow your breathing down, slow shallow breaths for me ok?" I heard Jasper ask and I slowly calmed down, his hand on the back of my neck gently massaging. Alice pushed me flat on the bed. Then slowly moved my arms out from my sides, opening up my ribcage, I moaned in pain.
"This'll help slow your breathing. Carlisle said if the pain gets too bad we have to give you pain killers." Jasper explained. I nodded.
"I don't want any, I feel dead on them." I told them. Both nodded and Alice moved her hand over the wound in my chest gently feeling the slice. I winced and pulled away. Jasper frowned.
"I think we may just give you half, how does that sound? It won't knock you out but it'll stop this pain when you move." I sighed, I could see the resignation in his eyes already he had decided he would. I shook my head slowly.
"I really would prefer not to please." I asked them. Alice gave me a smile.
"Tell you what, why don't we see how you go and if Jasper still thinks you need some pain killers we'll give them to you in half an hour." I nodded, happy with her compromise. I could hide pain. I'd done it for years.
"What do you like to watch? We have pretty much every TV series known to man here, Emmett and Rosalie tends to do marathons." Alice explained. I nodded, still lying down.
"Um, Bones?" I asked her hopefully. She grinned and skipped to the door.
"You should just take the pain killer. I don't enjoy watching people in pain." I gave him a small reassuring smile.
"I'm alright, I promise." He eyed me as if trying to read my mind but sighed and helped me to sit up against the pillows. The TV faced my bed and I smiled at Alice as she walked into the room whilst chatting to Edward. He gave me a small smile and pulled up a chair from the desk in the corner.
"You don't look terribly well." He commented. I gave a small half smile to him. He returned it. "So Bones is your poison of choice is it? Well mind if I join? I haven't watched it in a while." I smiled.
"She won't take the pain killers." Jasper told him, obviously frustrated; he'd turned his back on me. I breathed in and winced.
"I don't need them its healing well from what Carlisle says…" I told them, both gave me disbelieving looks. Alice had put 'bones' on and as the music began I relaxed back against the bed. I looked down at my chest I could see the gauze covering the wound, I frowned down at it, I didn't like the look at all and I certainly didn't like the feel. I reached a hand to feel through the gauze.
"I wouldn't if you have a weak stomach." Edward warned me before I touched it. I made a face and listened. Placing my hand on my stomach instead I could feel the bandages across the bottom of my ribs, I'd obviously smashed my rib cage pretty well. No wonder I needed pain killers. I took a slow breathe in, experimenting to see how far I could and how much pain it caused. I gasped when I got to about half my lung capacity.
"Has half an hour been yet?" I heard Jasper ask, I looked over at him, I was nervous of him the most.
"You got another 15 minutes." Alice told him. I sighed and coughed, causing my self to nearly spasm in pain as my ribs felt like they shifted. "You know what, half an hours up."
"Good." Jasper all but growled. I gasped. He held a syringe in his hand which he'd obviously pulled from somewhere.
"No. No, please?" I questioned my hand over my mouth, Jasper having been sitting beside my bed was beside me already and reaching for my wrist. I pulled back but his cold hands clamped around my wrists. As I pulled his arms didn't even give slightly, seemingly he didn't notice my pull.
"Lily, how about half the dose?" I heard Edwards calm voice from where he sat, he watched sitting very still, looking very much like a creature ready to pounce. I nodded instantly. Jasper still holding my wrist growled at Edward. I gasped and pulled back frightened, my heart sky rocketed and I found my self on my back looking up at the ceiling struggling to breathe well. My heart beating to rapidly for me to do anything else.
"Shhh, alright, Lily?" I heard the doctors voice and almost sighed with relief if it hadn't hurt I would have. "I'm going to make you feel more comfortable ok?" I nodded. My eyes were closed. I felt the prick of a needle and shuddered away from it, Jasper still holding my arm was making soothing movements on my wrist. Almost instantly I felt the drug being pumped around my body and my body go loose. I was completely helpless.
"Lily?" I opened my eyes I was looking up into the doctor's eyes, a warm golden brown. I noticed Alice and Edward were still in the room and cringed with embarrassment, they had all seen me like this, and I'd even done it to myself. "You feel how your heart is racing?" He had moved my hand so that my fingers rested gently over my sternum. I nodded. "What I need you to do is to get it slowed down. I can give you another drug but I'd prefer not to." I took a slow inhale, immediately feeling a difference. My heart slowed but my mind raced. I could feel my face blushing.
"Urgh, I'm so sorry, I don't know what happened." I told them. Carlisle gave me a reassuring smile.
"When your heart is completely healed strain won't be a problem. But for the minute, you need to stay 100% relaxed. I'm also going to keep you on this medication for the next couple of days. Jasper, whilst I'm away, will be attending to you and you must listen to what he says because it is at my discretion. I am your guardian now remember?" I nodded whilst he was talking, still feeling my heart under my hand; I felt it speed up slightly and instantly took a slower breath.
"How are you feeling now?" Jasper asked from beside Carlisle. I gave a small smile.
"My chest is still sore, other than that just embarrassed." He nodded and moved me gently so that I would be more comfortable in the bed; I gave a small smile and looked around the room Edward and Alice were talking very quickly and quietly.
"There's no need to feel embarrassed, you're just reacting to your environment as you would usually it's just that at the moment you need to stay as relaxed as possible." I nodded. Carlisle gave me a devastating smile and I smiled back finding it hard to resist doing so. "Now, what I've given you is a muscle relaxant and slight sedative, you won't necessarily sleep but you will feel drowsy, I would like you to stay here for the day and tomorrow we'll reassess your progress." I nodded trustingly at him.
"Thanks Doc." I mumbled quietly my eyes becoming heavy.
"You're welcome Lilly, Jasper are you going to stay here with her? Was it 'bones' that you were about to watch?" He nodded.
"I'm staying too!" Alice piped up seemingly not wanting to be left out. Alice nudged Edward.
"Me too." He muttered looking up at the screen. The first bones episode of season 1 had began I looked towards the screen and saw the lead actress getting out of the car, opposite to her partner who went running after her.
"Right then, I have to head back to the hospital, we have an urgent case that needs to be seen to." Carlisle announced, taking a couple of steps towards the door and then pausing to look back. "If you need anything don't hesitate to ask and my children will be as accommodating as possible." I gave a small smile. My body felt heavy now, the drugs obviously taking effect. I felt a cold hand on my wrist and looked up into Jaspers' face, his eyes intent on my wrist, checking my pulse.
"How you feeling?" He asked me. I nodded, trying to indicate fine. "Alright, well as Carlisle said just ask if you need something, nothing is too small and I would be offended if you felt you couldn't ask." I blushed at his words; he seemed to be very nice. His eyes moved away from mine to look at my chest quickly. I flinched inwardly.
"Could I have some water?" I asked him quietly. His smile was just as brilliant as Carlisle's was, he stood quickly and went to the door walking about and my eyes moved to the TV screen the episode still continuing. It felt like almost instantly Jasper stood once again in the door way holding a glass of water and a pitcher. I sighed. This would be difficult to drink. Alice was beside me instantly, and was gently holding my shoulders off the bed so that I was able to drink the water offered. I took a thirsty gulp and sighed happily. Alice gently lay me back down comfortably and re arranged the pillows for me. The memory foam bed formed to my shape and I sighed in contentment. We watched several episodes getting on to the second disc before I knew it.
"Would you like something to eat, dear?" I saw Esme standing in the door way. I gave a small smile.
"I'm fine thank you." She too had an award winning smile and as she turned I saw her hair was a beautiful honey gold colour and it bounced beautifully, I was instantly envious. Actually the whole family were completely beautiful beings. They were all mesmerising to look at and to watch. Alice was particularly interesting to watch, it seemed as though she would dance from room to room, it was interesting. Edward sat as one of stone, hardly moving and very difficult to even get a reaction of. Jasper on the other hand continuously moved, he checked my pulse numerous times and kept asking if I needed anything. By the afternoon everyone had drifted off to do something else. Checking in on me every now and then.
'Wonder if I could change the disc?' I considered to myself, as I was deciding to get up Edward entered the room, seeing me moving my arms as if to push myself up he frowned down at me.
"As your new older brother I don't want to see you hurting yourself." He told me pointedly, he moved my arms so that they were relaxed by my sides once more and changed the disc after doing as, almost as though he could tell what I was thinking. I sighed.
"Thank you." I murmured. He gave me a cute half smile and wandered out of the room after handing me the remote. I gingerly choose an episode and settled in to watch some more 'Bones'. It wasn't long before I was once again asleep.
