I woke up to a scream. I looked around. Bright white lights... medical equipment ?

"Bella, dear?"

I turned around to face the voice.

"Yeah?" it was a nurse. Probably around the same age as Edward and I.

"Edward is awake right through those doors" and with that she left. I looked around myself. I didn't see Mr. and Mrs. Cullen anywhere. Well, after learning about Mrs. Cullen's condition, I sort of understand. She was so fragile, how could she be diagnosed with cancer?

I had another problem. Edward. What was I going to say to him? I got up and went to the door. Nonetheless he was my best friend and I need to be here for him. My hand hesitated on the knob. Would I be able to see him in the condition he's in? I willed myself to open the door and saw him. Lying down on the bed, looking dead. My eyes teared up but I quickly wiped it before Edward saw.

I approached the bed, gazing into his lost eyes. "Bella?"

I couldn't help it. I sat down and tears dropped from my eyes. Edward stared at me with a confused look on his face.

"Bella, why are you crying?" he asked, wheezily.

Tears continued to spill as I looked at him.

"Because I could've done something to stop it but, after hearing you say that I… I couldn't move.. i.. I didn't know what to say… and then I realized you were going towards a street.. an—and when I got there you were on the ground." I made myself stop rambling.

"I am so sorry, Edward" I said, sobbing. This was all my fault.

He looked at me for a long moment and the spoke.

"Isabella, stop it. You did nothing wrong. You do not need to apologize. This was my fault. " He said, honestly.

I continued to sob. He was just being polite. This was all my fault. I should've done something to stop it… thinking about this made me cry even more.

Edward lifted a hand to my cheek careful not to hurt himself. "Isabella, I'm sorry for what I said. I know it cannot be erased but this was my fault and I shouldn't have called you and drank. I know how much I scare you when I drink. I shouldn't have said what I said. Is there any way I can do anything to make this right?"

I stared at him, dumbfounded. Did he really just ask for MY forgivance ?

"Edward, you've got nothing to apologize for this was my fault, don't fucking put the blame on yourself just to be nice to me. I'm old enough I know my mistakes, and this was a horrible one."

"Isab—Bella, Trust me , I'm fine. Could we just forget this ever happened?" He touched my cheek again. His hand was moist and warm. I rested my head on it.

"I can't. How can I when your in a bloody cast?" I demanded.

He sighed. " Bella, I Lo-"

Just then a nurse walked in. The same nurse as before. She was very pretty I hate to admit it. I looked like a ragdoll compared to her.

"Edward? Here are your medications… Would you like me to help you or anything?" She smiled, dazzlingly. Geez might as well write desperate on her forehead. But Edward kept his lock on my hand and face.

" No, Charlene I'm fine thanks, Bella would help me if required" He responded. I almost laughed at her. Rejected. He was mine… Okay weird thought.

"Just… Lemme know okay?" Charlene practically begged.

" Sure Sure"

I watched " Charlene " as she walked out and kept my gaze on her. " Bella? If you wouldn't mind I'd actually rather have some help with this thing. I cannot get the water, could you?" Edward wheezed.

" Sure" I got up, satisfied that he preferred me over that dumb blonde chick. I sat on his bed while he sipped his water.

" Thank you"

I stared at him. There was something about Edward. Anything…. He seemed so… Perfect. I hadn't really noticed it before.

" Bella? "

"Hmm? Oh yeah? "

" Thanks for this. For staying all night I mean. It means a lot to me."

"You mean a lot to me" I muttered, stupidly. Great Bella, what a corny line. Edward just smiled. " I feel the same way about you " Somehow my heart leapt at those words. I'm so off today, I need sleep.

"Edward? If you wouldn't mind, I'm really tired… is there any-?"

"Here" he said pointing to the limited space beside him. He scooted over as I approached.

"No. No that would be rude I'm not going to take up the small space you h—"

"Please?" He grabbed a hold of my hand " For me?"

How could I deny that? I gave in the tucked myself in beside him. Shit there was no pillow. Suddenly he put his arm around me, as if knowing what I was thinking, and left it there. He started humming something strangely familiar to me and in a matter of minutes I was asleep.
