Last time:

I wondered if Edward would be there or if he hated me so much that he wouldn't want to come. I heard the door bell ring and walked downstairs.

I opened the door and got my first look at Carlisle Cullen. He was HOT! He looked like he belonged in a magazine. I heard him chuckle slightly and realized my mouth was hanging open in shock. I opened the door wider and let them in. I had made lasagna and put it in the oven earlier and it was on the table. I felt Charlie standing behind me and quickly invited the Cullens in. Rosalie and Emmett were there and so were Alice and Jasper. I also saw a woman with caramel hair. I assumed this was Carlisle's wife. Edward wasn't there. I knew it was my fault.

I led the Cullens into the living room and they all sat down. Charlie appeared and sat down in his favorite chair. I went upstairs and got the first-aid kit. I wrapped my ankle so I could walk without too much pain. As I walked down the stairs I saw Carlisle watching me. The Cullen's and Charlie were sitting around the table. I made a mistake with my feet and tripped, falling head over heels down the last five or six stairs. I lay face down and tried my best not to scream. I heard someone gasp. I felt my shirt had ridden up and all my bruises were clearly visible. I rolled over and saw Carlisle and Charlie looking at me. I got to my feet and swayed slightly. Carlisle caught and steadied me as I fixed my shirt.

"Bella! Why did you fall? You are so clumsy!" Charlie's voice was just below shouting volume.

"Charlie? Why are you yelling at Bella? She just fell down the stairs and is obviously injured." I saw the rest of the family making their way towards us. Carlisle continued, "I'm sure you will not object to me taking Bella to the hospital and checking her over?"

"Of course not!" said Charlie in a falsely sweet voice. I caught the warning to me. It was as if he had said "They find out and you die!"

"Then I will take Bella with me to the hospital. My family will stay here if that's alright with you?" Carlisle said.

"That's fine. When will Bella be back?"

"I would say in about two hours."

Charlie nodded and Carlisle turned around. He supported me and we walked to his car. It was the most luxurious car I had ever seen, a black Mercedes. Carlisle helped me in and I noticed the leather seats and high-tech radio. Carlisle sat next to me without a word and we drove off. I was very close to panicking. I knew that once I got home, Charlie would kill me and the very thought was terrifying. Carlisle started to talk to me.

"Bella? Is there anything you want to tell me?" he asked.

"No." I was trembling inside with the willpower it took to remain calm.

"Alright." We spent a few more minutes in silence until I saw Carlisle frown slightly.

"What wrong?" I asked.

"Well… some of the nurses are a bit…um…enthusiastic when I walk in. I have no doubt they will throw themselves at me tonight since I wasn't supposed to come back"

I snickered even through the feeling of guilt that took hold. It was my fault Carlisle had to go back. Carlisle read my expression correctly and said: "Don't get me wrong! I don't mind going to the hospital to take care of you. I just wish the nurses wouldn't be there."

I snickered again. The ride was silent again until we got to the hospital.
