A few weeks later….
Finally I had gotten my boot off and could walk around like a normal human. I could wear flats again and heels! I still had to go to physical therapy once a week just to make sure I could walk right and I didn't do any lasting damage to my foot or ankle. Alice and Rose were my best friends now. I couldn't wait to hang out with them. I had recently told Alice what had happened with my mom. I didn't go into too much detail, just telling her that she had gotten into an accident. When she asked for details, I brushed her off saying I didn't want to talk about it. Jasper was always there with Alice and he was so nice. He would listen to me complain. He was my rock when I had problems. Emmett is a big huggable teddy bear. Edward was becoming close too, but I didn't know what to think about him. Yeah, I liked him but I didn't want to be in a relationship right now. I'm still mourning my mom. I wonder if she would've liked Edward…. The doctor's appointment with Dr. Cullen wasn't bad at all. He was so nice. I could see where Edward and Alice got their politeness. He said that after I got the boot off I would have to wear an ace bandage for a few months.
When I got to school the next day, they were all waiting for me. Alice and Rose bounded over to me. "Bella, can you spend the night tonight? We're all coming over and hanging out together. Pretty please?????" she asked giving me puppy dog eyes. "Alright I will" I said. Internally I was jumping up and down. "Yay!" she exclaimed. The rest of the day went by in a blur and soon I was home with Alice and Rose who wanted to help me pack. "Oohh I think we should wear sexy pajamas to tease the boys." She started digging through my pajama drawer until she found 3 matching pairs of silk pajama short sets. Purple, blue and red. "Jackpot!" she said. We all got in my car and started to drive over to Alice's. Rose immediately hooked up her iPod and turned it on. "I think we should blast music when we pull up to the house. Alice text Jazz and tell him to meet us outside." She hit play and "Arab Money" came on. "Whoo!" I cheered "I love this song!" We started singing along as we drove. When I got to their driveway, Alice said "Floor it and stop right in front of them. Scare the shit out of them." Rose just laughed. I saw the boys at the end of the driveway standing, waiting for us. I squealed around the turn and tore down the driveway. I saw the looks on their faces and slammed on the breaks turning the wheel as I did so I was perpendicular to them. "Hi boys" I said. Edward looked pissed. "Don't ever do that again!" he hissed. "You scared the shit out of me. My baby sister was in there and you could've hit something or someone!" By now he was screaming at me through the car window. Rose and Alice had already gotten out of the car and were staring at Edward through the arms of Jasper and Emmett. "What the hell were you thinking?" he was still screaming. I stared at him. "Are you going to answer me?" he hissed. I looked down shamefully. "No" I said, gaining some confidence and getting angrier by the second, "but you had no right to scream at me like that Edward." My voice was filled with venom and getting louder. I started the car, put it in gear and took off down the driveway making sure to squeal wheels as I turned. I glanced in my rearview mirror before turning and saw Jasper holding Alice back from hitting Edward who was staring at the ground.
After driving home at speeds that were definitely illegal and an hour of punching my pillow sobbing, and cussing, my phone rang. "Alice" flashed across the screen. "What?" I answered. "Bella" she said sniffling. "Hi Alice, sorry for answering like that. What's up?" "Oh Bella" she wailed. "I am so sorry that Edward yelled at you like that. He is such an idiot. He wants to apologize. Can you still come over and spend the night? Please?" I sighed. "I guess. I'll be over in 30 minutes." I hung up before I could change my mind. "I'm spending the night at the Cullen's dad. I'll be back." "Ok be careful," he said. I went out to the car, and started driving. I put on some music to help me calm down. When I got to the driveway, I made sure to drive carefully. I could see Alice and Rose waiting for me. I held my breath and got out.
"Hey Bella" they said in unison. "Hi guys, this isn't going to be awkward as hell is it? Edward isn't going to bite my head off is he?" "He is sad Bella." Rose said, " he just wants to apologize and put it behind him. I don't think I have ever seen him this upset before. Jasper and Emmett had to keep him from punching the wall." I just stared at her. "Oh, umm… he was really rude and I don't know that I could forgive him right away but I guess I could talk to him…" I was not looking forward to this. He just ups and screamed at me for no reason. Ok I guess he had a reason but he could've just talked to me like a normal human instead of just flipping out on me like that. We walked into the house. Emmett, Jasper, and Edward were all sitting in front of the TV playing Xbox. They stopped when they saw us. Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Rose left the room leaving Edward and I alone. "So umm.. I'm sorry for flipping out on you like that…" he said after a few minutes. "It's cool," I said offhandedly. I wasn't going to show him any emotion and that he had made me flip out. "You probably had a good reason right?" He looked nervous now. He started shuffling his feet and looking around the room. "I'd love to know what it was." I said getting angrier. "You've been so nice to me, and all of a sudden you flip out. What the-." He cut me off. "Your mom died in a car accident right?" I froze, all the blood draining from my face. "How did you find out?" I whispered, my throat getting tight. The room was getting smaller and it was hard to breathe. I could hear myself breathing, but I couldn't get enough air. The pain that I had worked so hard to repress was now coming back in full force hitting me like a battering ram. He wasn't supposed to know about this. He wasn't supposed to see this side of me. "Alice told me and-." I took off running out of the room past Emmett, Rose, and Alice and Jasper's shocked faces. I couldn't believe it. "Bella, wait!" Edward yelled following me. I ignored him, and got in my car. The tears started to fall as I started it. He came to my window and was yelling at me through it. "Bella get out of the car, you can't drive like this." I put the car in gear and yelled "Get out of my way or I will run your foot over!"
He took a step back and I took off down the driveway. I fought the tears the whole way home, and when I screeched into the driveway, Charlie was already on the porch waiting. I assumed that Alice or Rose had already called him. He came over to the car and helped me inside. Once inside, I let the grief and panic take over. The room was spinning, and there was a clanging in my ears. I couldn't catch my breath no matter how hard I tried to calm down. After 20 minutes of still not calming down, and no end in sight, Charlie decided to take me to the hospital. He dragged me to the cruiser and took off toward the hospital. I heard him on the phone with someone but all sounds were jumbled and distorted so I couldn't tell who it was. When we reached the hospital, I saw Dr. Cullen. He ran over to the car and opened the door. "Bella, are you ok?" "Can't breathe." I gasped. I could barely talk, let alone form a full sentence. He helped me up and pulled me onto a gurney. Charlie was walking next to me holding my hand as they rolled me into the ER. Only he knew the extent of what happened that night with my mom. I'm guessing Dr. Cullen would know now too.
When they rolled me in, they immediately put an oxygen mask on me. Thank god for that. I could breathe a little easier. "Bella," Dr. Cullen was standing next to me. "You need to calm down, your heart rate is extremely high and your Oxygen level is extremely low. Just breathe." About 20 minutes later, I had calmed down enough that they could take the mask off and put a nose mask on. As they were taking me out of triage Dr. Cullen said "We have to keep you over night just as a precaution. You have a private room, and all your friends are in the waiting room worried about you. Did you want to see them?" I looked around for Charlie and saw him walking beside me. "You don't have to stay all night dad," I whispered. "You can go home later if you want. My friends will be here with me." He looked doubtful. "I'll stay until you get settled, then I'll go home, but I'll be back first thing in the morning to spring you. Be careful ok?" he smiled at me. By now we had reached the room and I was hooked up to all kind of monitors. A nurse gave me a shot that made me drowsy. "To help you sleep." She smiled at me. Charlie left after a kiss on the forehead. "I can see they gave you something to help you sleep. They are all waiting anxiously to come in, can I let them?" Dr. Cullen came in a few minutes after the drugs kicked in. I nodded. He went out in the hallway and said, "Come in guys, but she's half asleep. The nurse gave her something so she can sleep tonight." Alice, Rose, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward all walked into the room. Alice immediately came over and stared sobbing again. "I am so sorry Bella," she cried. "I didn't mean for it to get out of hand like that." My eyes traveled from her face to everyone else's finally landing on Edward's. He looked like hell. "It's alright" I whispered. I had already forgiven them, Edward included. "My fault for flipping out, its ok." Alice kept sobbing into my neck, Rose moved forward and pulled her off of me. She gave her to Jasper and leaned in for a hug. Emmett and Jasper did the same. Edward looked wary. I held my arms out and he leaned in too. He smelled like peppermint. I buried my face in his neck and whispered, "It's ok. It really is, I should've just told you all everything. I will soon." He pulled back and looked at me. "You scared me so much, I thought I was going to lose you." I smiled at him. "But you didn't." I could feel the drugs really kicking in now. By now everyone had been sitting on sofas that were in the room. Edward was sitting on the side of my bed watching me. "Come here" I could hear my voice slurring. He sat next to me and I snuggled in his arms before everything went black.
A/N: Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. I had severe writer's block and a funeral on Christmas Eve, so it wasn't the best time to write. If you have any ideas, just let me know. If anyone is interested in doing Edwards POV, write something and send it to me. I'll try and update more. Reviews make me update.
Thanks!
P.S. For my other story, I need a lot of help. I'm stuck.
