Here is another chapter, sorry it took soo long but I had no idea how to go about this. I'm going to try and alternate with posting chapters. So the next thing I post will be a chapter for "Impossible Reunions".

P.S If anyone has any ideas for either story please let me know via e-mail or review. I would love to hear from you and any idea might help get these stories going faster!

Before I could give a response the phone slipped out of my hand and hit the wooden floor with a sound that echoed off the walls. I was surprised it didn't break into a million pieces at the force it fell. This was not happening; I just talked to her not more then 20 minutes ago. She was going to get gas for crying out loud. This is my entire fault I should've taken the car to gas; at least she would be safer in the Volvo. Better yet I shouldn't have let her see Jacob.

"Edward what happened?" Jasper asked

I didn't answer. I just grabbed my keys off the side table and burst out the room. I quickly jumped into my car speeding down the road at blinding speeds. I heard my phone going off but I ignored it, they would catch on eventually. Plus Carlisle was already at the hospital and I knew he would call. With my eyes I could see ambulances and fire engines blocking off the street. Cops were directing traffic and I could see smoke rising into the air.

"Jesus Bella please be okay" I prayed

I parked by the side of the road and jumped out trying to see around for Bella. It was still raining so it seemed it was taking them longer to clean up the accident. A pudgy looking police officer with black hair walked up and held his hand up.

"You can't be here" he said simply

Like he's going to stop me I scoffed. I'd like to see him try.

"Someone called me saying my girlfriend was in a car accident" I growled

He jumped at the noise I made and stepped back from me "We need to get this cleaned up first I'm sure your girl…"

"Bart!" another man walked up behind him "He's fine"

He then looked up at me holding out his hand in a friendly gesture.

"I'm Jeff Sanders; I talked to you on the phone" he handed me Bella's phone "You were her last call so we figured you'd be our best shot"

"Yes, thank you for calling" I sighed; I just wanted to see her

He led me to the opposite side of the road where an ambulance was sat. I took this time to look around and saw that Bella's truck was completely totaled along with a blue Chevy. The fronts of both cars were smashed all the way in and the driver's side of Bella's truck was gone. This had me panicking; she was hit on her side. I turned my head in the direction of people talking and shallow breathing. I ran over to the ambulance and there she was, lying in the back and barely moving.

"Edward" she cried once I got there

"I'm right here love" I assured her

"She was very lucky" the paramedic said "If she was going any faster she wouldn't be here right now especially since it hit her side. But we're still not out of the woods yet. I took the police a while to even get her out of the car"

"Oh god Bella" I laid my head down next to hers

"The other person in the car didn't make it" he continued and I was glad Bella didn't hear him. God knows she'd beat herself up over that.

The paramedics were putting an oxygen mask over her now cut up face. It looked like she had gotten in a fight with a cat-and the cat won. I grabbed her hand bringing it to rest against my forehead. I noticed that her shirt was cut open and they were wrapping bandages around her ribs.

"I shouldn't have gotten gas" she moaned

"Shh, don't worry about that now" I soothed

"I don't want to die" she cried

"You are NOT going die, I can promise you that"

I felt like I jinxed myself because her eyes lolled to the back of her head and a monitor sounded saying her blood pressure had dropped.

"Bella?" I yelled gently cradling her face

"She's going into shock" the paramedic yelled jabbing a needle into her arm

There was so much going on and I couldn't comprehend all the thoughts people were having. I heard the driver flip on the siren and we were speeding down the road towards the hospital. My eyes stayed glued on Bella's face and I concentrated on her shallow breathing. It was the only thing that was keeping my panic and anger somewhat under control, especially since if I were driving I could get us there much more quickly.

"As soon as we get to the hospital we'll rush her to the critical care unit and they'll do a MRI to check for brain damage" he continued

I just nodded and soothingly rubbed my hand up and down her arm, praying that she would make it though this. I know my family was probably freaking out as to why I rushed out of the house so quickly but it would just have to wait. Out of curiosity I pulled out my phone and saw 34 missed calls and 27 texts. We pulled up to the hospital minutes later and the paramedics rushed Bella into the emergency room. I jumped out of the ambulance and followed after them.

"Edward?"

I was not surprised when I looked up and saw Carlisle standing there looking very worried.

"What happened?" he continued looking down the hall after Bella

"She…was in a car accident…and their rushing her to do an MRI scan. She went into shock in the ambulance and she wasn't responding…" I dry sobbed

I never showed any emotions to any of my family, mostly for Bella's sake. But for some reason seeing my father there I broke down. I collapsed onto my knees and Carlisle pulled me to him.

"Were you in the car with her?" he asked how did that matter? She was the one hurt

"No, she was coming home from Jacob's and stopped for gas Please go and help her" I begged "I can't lose her

"Stay here and I'll see what's going on"

He rushed down the hall towards the critical care unit. Using all the strength I had left I pushed myself of the floor and into one of the chair in the waiting room. Only Bella could make me feel so weak and vulnerable, she made me feel human. I only wished it had been me in the car; at least I wouldn't be fighting for survival. I should've have let her take the Volvo, she'd be safer in that. Better yet I shouldn't have agreed to let her to see that mutt. I waited for what felt like hours trying my best at reading the thoughts of the doctor's and nurses. I needed some knowledge that she was okay.

"Edward?"

I picked my head up out of my hands and stared into the exhausted eyes of my father. I tried reading his thoughts but he was blocking them from me, a bad sign.

"She's stable for the moment but she still hasn't woken up. Her head smashed against the window when she was hit, she had a lot of head trauma and I'm praying that she doesn't have amnesia"

"Oh god"

"Other than that she'll be fine. Her left arm is broken and one of her ribs. She'll be very sore when she wakes up so I don't want her moving around"

"Can I see her?" I was getting really anxious

"Yes but only you for right now once they family gets here I don't want them in the room yet. Do you want me to call them?"

"No, I'll do it. They should hear it from me and I need to call Charlie and I guess Jacob too" I sighed

"Okay come on"

Together we walked through the hallways to the critical care unit where Carlisle pressed a button to buzz us in. This was an awful place to be alone and I vowed that I would not leave her side until she was well enough to go home. Even then I was not going to let her drive…for a very long time, maybe even until she's changed. This has proved to me how it easy it is for me to loose her forever and I was not going to let her do anything that would ever take her away from me.

"I had her assigned to a nicer and bigger room. I know she'll most likely always have visitors"

"Thank you"

We came across a big room at the end of the hall, the chart on the door indicating that my love was in there.

"Here we are" Carlisle sighed "Just remember that she's alive"

I nodded and without a second thought opened the door and I gasped in horror. My beautiful Bella was sat lying in a hospital bed with wires and tubes going every which way. She had a tube going into her nose, a cast on her right arm, bandages all over her face and head, and worst of all, the awful machine next to her bed that was basically breathing for her.

"Oh Bella" I sobbed grabbed her hand off the bed bring it to rest against my forehead "I'm so sorry love. I promised I would protect you, and look where you are"

I looked at her face hoping my words may have had an affect on her. It didn't so I decided to move to a lighter topic

"You know this is going to put a damp on the wedding plans. If you don't wake up soon Alice is going to have this whole thing planned without telling us. I know you wanted to pick out the flowers and center pieces" I smiled at the thought of us at our wedding, perfectly happy

"Please wake up, I need to see your beautiful eyes, please" I begged "I can't live without you"

After trying to get her to wake up for 20 minutes I figured it was time to make some phone calls, Jacob being the last on my list. Pushing myself from my chair I walked to the door silently pushing myself out of the room. Though I kept a close enough distance that I could still see and hear her. First on my list was Esme, I knew she'd be the only call I'd have to make in my family, she'd tell the others and they'd be the first ones here.

"Edward!" she yelled "Where the hell are you? I've been worried sick and neither you nor Carlisle will pick up your phones. Emmett and Jasper said you rushed out panicked"

"Calm down" I pleaded, the last thing I needed was Esme yelling at me "I'm at the hospital"

"What are you doing there?"

"Bella was in a car…accident" I managed to get out

"Oh dear is she alright?" she sobbed

"For the moment she's stable but we're still not out of the woods. She hasn't woken up yet and Carlisle said she had a lot of head trauma"

"Oh god Edward, we're on our way and don't worry we'll call Charlie. You just focus on Bella"

Well I guess all that was left was Jacob. Already having his number in my phone for emergencies like this, I quickly dialed.

"Edward?" he asked "Why are you calling me?"

"Jacob I need you not to freak out and listen to me"

"What's going on?" he pressed

"When Bella was coming home from seeing you…" I started but he cut me off

"She told I made her cry right? I'm sorry that wasn't my intention at all, she just kept throwing stuff at me and I was saying anything to get through to her"

"That has nothing to do with this but I'm a little pissed that you made her upset"

"Well then what happened?"

"As I was saying when she was coming home she got into an accident and I'm at the hospital now"

"Oh my god is she okay?"

"Not really, she hit her head pretty hard and she hasn't woken up yet. Carlisle's hoping she doesn't have amnesia"

"What…how could this… I just saw her!" I could tell by the tone of his voice that he was panicking, just as I had done

"I'm not going to prevent you from seeing her because I know she wouldn't want that"

"I'll go pick up Charlie then I'm on my way"

With that I hung my phone up and I heard muffled voices outside having to do with a car company.

"Really, now" I muttered

I took one last look at Bella, knowing she wasn't going to notice my absence I went to see what all the commotion was about. Carlisle was talking to a very distraught looking police officer who was handing him papers. I walked over confused.

"Can I help you?" I asked

"Yes, I was just talking to your father about the car damages from the accident. I didn't know if you were filing an accident report because we don't know exactly what caused it yet"

"Okay well she hasn't woken up yet but I'll call you when she does and she can file a report if she wants" I told them "I assume no charges are being pressed?"

"No there's no reason, obviously no one was at fault here, and I would just like to know what exactly happened to give the other family a sense of peace"

"Okay well I'll handle the paperwork"

He handed me the papers and I quickly skimmed them over quickly. I laughed at the 'filing a report so you can get some insurance money to pay for damage'. Money was never an issue and besides, there is no way I'm going to fix that death trap Bella calls a car. It was falling apart before this all happened and I was planning on buying her a car anyways. This just gave me a better excuse to get her something nice-but also something with a lot of safety features.

"Okay well call us when you're ready"

"I will thank you"

The rumbling of a truck screeched to a stop in front of us. A very distraught Charlie ran out followed by Jacob. Charlie ran up to me and grabbed me by the shoulders. His thoughts were jumbled up, thinking the worst of what she would look like.

"Where is she?" he asked

"Come on Charlie, I'll take you to her" Carlisle gracefully led him away and into the hospital.

Jacob came up to me, hands in his pocket and I quickly sifted through his thoughts, relieved when I found nothing except pure concern and worry for Bella. The officer gave me a quick goodbye and drove away.

"How is she?" he asked in a monotone voice

"The same" my voice was just as dead as his "But I have faith that she'll wake up soon"

Day 1

It has been 24 hours since Bella had opened her eyes and I have not moved from her side. I sat in the hard plastic chair by her bed holding her hand. Charlie was currently sleeping on the pull out couch and Jacob had gone home to be with Billy. Her face remained unmoving, not even the slightest twitch or flinch. She had recently been moved to a larger room so my family, who now occupied the surrounding chairs in the room, could be here. No one said a word but we constantly stared at Bella hoping for some type of movement.

"Her breathing is becoming normal so we can take her off the breathing tube" Carlisle told me

I just nodded in response

"That must mean something" Esme cried

She had taken to this just as badly as I did. Bella was like a daughter to her and it pained her to see her so helpless.

"It means that she's not completely out of it. She has some sense of where she is. It's an improvement but not a big enough one to say that something has changed" Carlisle told us

"But she'll be okay?" Surprisingly it was Emmett that asked. Like me and Esme, he had also stayed since Bella was admitted. He always made a comment along the lines of 'no one hurts my baby sister'.

"I know she will" I pressed stroking her hair

Day 2

She was breathing on her own now and that was somewhat of an improvement. It was the middle of the day and no one was here, just Bella and I. Alice were sitting at home trying to see anything that would help. But Alice said it was up to Bella to decide when she wanted to wake up. The rest of my family was hunting, I knew being in a hospital full of blood was taking a toll on them. I started reading to her today; Carlisle said hearing a familiar voice could cause some sort of reaction. I read her book after book but I still got nothing. It was later in the day when I started talking about the wedding again.

"I can't wait to see what Alice has up her sleeve. I know that you'll love it and it will be beautiful. The best part is you'll be all mine Mrs. Cullen"

Her face remained unmoving

"Come on love come back to me" I pleaded "I need to see your beautiful eyes again"

I kissed her forehead and watched as her chest rose up and down weakly. I felt so helpless sitting here. There was nothing I could do to help her.

"You know Jacob and I have been getting along pretty well" I laughed "Imagine that huh, it seems you can bring anyone together. You know your dad is really worried about you. I can hear it in his thoughts, he's having problems sleeping"

I noticed that the breeze from the open window twirled her hair around and I quickly got up to close it. I didn't want her getting cold.

Day 3

I was getting more and more frustrated by the second. She had not moved an inch in 3 days. Carlisle was starting to worry that her muscles would become weak so he would make sure that her body didn't stay limp. I picked up her arm and started moving her hand back and forth along with bending her arm. It felt like I was doing nothing but I did it anyways. Jacob took my spot for a while so I could hunt. Our relationship has gotten better and his thoughts have been clean. Plus having Carlisle within hearing distance also helped. Plus maybe Jacob talking to her would make a difference. I was heading back towards the hospital when I heard my phone ring.

"Hello" I said anxiously

"Edward, Bella's making improvements, I suggest you get here fast" My father said a sense of happiness in his voice

"Has she opened her eyes yet?"

"No but her hand started twitching so it could be any day now"

Finally my love will wake up and reenter our lives. I made it back to the hospital in record time to see that my family was watching her intently and Jacob was sitting by the bed holding her hand.

"Come on Bells, open your eyes" he chanted "I know you can hear me"

You would think this would bother me but I know he's just concerned. If anyone could get her to wake, even Jacob then I would be okay with it.

"Anything yet?" I asked taking a seat opposite

"Not since Carlisle called honey" Esme whispered

Day 4

Once again it was just Bella and I in the dark room. It was about 3 in the morning and her hand had been moving all night which gave me a sense of hope. My family wanted to be here when she woke up but they knew Bella would be overwhelmed and we still weren't entirely sure if she would remember us. That had me panicking again but I laid my head on the bed and closed my eyes. No more then 10 minutes later I heard the most beautiful sound…Bella groaned and I felt her muscles stretch under me.

"Bella?" I whispered

I picked my head up and saw that her eyes were opened and she looked confused. Oh god that wasn't a good sign. Before I yelled for Carlisle I let her come back to reality. I didn't want to frighten her. I carefully placed my hand against her cheek and smiled when she didn't flinch.

"Your okay" I whispered

"Edward" she cried

My smile enlightened my face and I sighed in relief. I gently stroked her check and she seemed to relish the feeling.

"I'm here love and you're going to be just fine"

Her grip on my hand tightened and I could tell that she was scared and didn't like not knowing what was going on. But I didn't want to bombard her with questions now; I just want to ease her in to things- slowly. She continued to look around the room taking in her surroundings.

"Ow" she moaned placing her hand on her head

"Yeah you're going to be very sore for the next week or so"

More tears flowed down her cheeks and I carefully wiped them away.

"Hey now, everything's okay" I soothed her

"What happened?" she asked and I noticed that her eyes were looking at all the get well presents that filled up the room

"We'll talk later but right now I don't want you to worry about anything except getting better"

"Everything hurts" her voice was hoarse

"I know baby, why don't I have Carlisle come in and check on you. Maybe he can give you something for the pain okay?"

She nodded weakly but quickly stopped her movements and gasped out in pain. It broke my heart to see her so weak and vulnerable. Knowing there was nothing I could do to help her.

"Try not to move" I whispered "I'll go get Carlisle"

I was so happy that I could see her eyes again. She seemed to be in a lot of pain but that was to be expected. I was worried that she seemed pretty out of it and disoriented, but at least she remembered me. I found Carlisle at the front desk filling out some paper work. I ran right up to him the smile on my face radiating.

"She's awake" he looked at me in surprise "She's awake and she remembers me but she's in a lot of pain"

"I can't believe it, I told you she would be fine" he smiled and led the way back to her room.

I walked back in the dark room expecting to find her awake but was disappointed to see she was sleeping again. Panicking I ran over and took her hand in mine.

"Bella, sweetheart wake up" I called to her

Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at me.

"Sorry" she muttered and it was music to my ears "Hi Carlisle"

"Good to see you're awake; you had us all pretty scared these past couple of days. Edward told me you were in a lot of pain"

"I can barely move" I noticed she was playing with the bandage that was wrapped around her wrist and I grabbed her hand in mine, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"Well I can help with that and you're going to have to be really careful. I don't want you moving around. I don't want you doing too much at once, let Edward take care of you please"

As he was talking I noticed him putting pain medication into her IV feed and she immediately relaxed as it hit her bloodstream. I smiled and leaned over to kiss her temple, my lips lingering slightly. She seemed to notice and leaned her head into me but winced.

"Careful love" I cautioned

"I'm very happy that you're not showing any signs of amnesia. I was worried with all the head trauma we found on the CT scan"

"Why would I forget?" she asked confused

There was the question we were dreading, she remembered us but not of anything having to do with the accident. I looked at Carlisle for help and he nodded, answering my question. I turned to Bella placing my hand on her cheek softly.

"Love what's the last thing you remember?"
