With a shrill ring of his alarm clock Edward woke up. His head pounded as he didn't sleep very much last night. He dragged himself outside of bed to his washroom, jumping into the shower as the hot water hit his aching back. Edward sighed contently as the water soothed his aching muscles, he quickly washed himself squeaky clean and wrapped a towel around his waist. Trudging toward the sink he started brushing his teeth, 'Wow, I feel like such an ass being rude to her yesterday, especially it was just a day after her father died.' Guilt quickly settled upon Edward as he spat out the remaining tooth paste in his mouth.
With a sigh he headed into his bedroom to change. 'Should I go and apologize to her.' Edward started to debate with himself whether he should or shouldn't. He quickly ran down the stairs catching his mother before she went out the door. With his father's lunch box in hand.
"Mom, can I bring dad's lunch for him?" Esme's eyes widened as Edward asked her pleadingly. "Uh. Sure, my Edward. What's with the change of heart?" Edward shrugged off his mother's question as he departed from her with a kiss on the cheek.
As soon as Edward got into his car he sped off to the hospital. He pondered on what he should say to her. 'What do you say to a person who just lost their father, I'm sorry? Nah that's a little too cliché, maybe I should get her flowers?' with that thought he made a quick turn left a drove to the flower shop.
"Excuse me Miss." Edward tapped on the shoulder of an elderly woman. She turned around and gave him a charming smile. "Why hello there young man, what can I get you for today?" She made a gesture for him to follow her. Edward obliged, "So is this for you girlfriend of some sorts?" She asked him with a wink. Edward blushed, "Well how about you get her these?" The woman held up white roses. Edward glanced at them. "Alright can you get me a bouquet?" The woman moved to the back of her store leaving Edward standing at the cash register.
A few minutes later she came out with 12 white roses. "Would you like them wrapped with ribbons or in a box?" "What would you suggest?" Edward questioned. The old lady tenderly picked up white and pink ribbons, professionally wrapped them around and tying them with amazing speed. She handed Edward the bouquet with her eyes twinkling. Reaching in his back pocket he pulled out his wallet. The elderly woman shook her head and spoke. "Just make her happy." Edward walked out of the store wondering what the woman meant. Shaking the thoughts out of his head he sped towards the hospital.

Walking through the door with roses in one hand and a lunch box in the other, he made his way to the receptionist. Betty's eyes twinkled up as she saw her eye candy walking towards her with white roses. 'Operation Cullen commence.' Betty thought evilly as she opened two buttons on her white French cut blouse fixed her hair and took a quick look in the mirror making sure her appearance was to her standards.
Edward walked to the receptionist, 'Great… Her again.' Edward thought tiredly. Betty faked a look of surprise. "Who are those flowers for?" Edward gave her a glare as she started to do the blinking thing again. "Is my father in room 113 right now?" Betty typed away on her computer as she tried to get her arms to move around her blouse to give more cleavage. "He should be there in about 15 minutes, according to schedule." Betty breathed huskily leaning more towards him. "Alright then thanks…I suppose. Oh yes, I think you forgot to button up before work." Edward spoke casually over his shoulder as he headed towards the elevator. Betty furiously buttoned up and repeatedly slammed her head on the desk.
Edward got in the Elevator tapping his fingers against his thigh impatiently as he waited for the elevator to- Ding! 'Finally' Edward thought as he rushed to room 113, he pushed open the door. "Bella I got you roses." Edward said confusingly as the room was empty. He ran out in the hall spotting a nurse he ran up to her.
"Excuse me but do you know where Isabella Swan is?" Edward questioned, the nurse thought in her brain for a while recognizing an Isabella, her eyes brightened up. "Oh you mean Bella?" Edward nodded. "I saw her on her way to the roof, I'm pretty sure she is still there." Edward ran of quickly shouting a thanks to the nurse, running as fast as he could hoping that she was still there. He sprinted up the stairs and opened the door that said ROOF with silver letters. Edward pushed open the door slowly without a sound he stepped onto the roof. He stopped as his breath hitched in his throat at the seen before him.
Bella was leaning over the railing looking at the beach before her closing her eyes with a soft smile on her lips. A gentle breeze drifted on by, playing with her hair gently. This was a totally different Bella than the one yelling and beating him with a pillow yesterday. Edward started walking towards her, his footsteps echoing throughout the roof. Alarmed Bella swiftly turned around to see Edward walking towards her, with roses and a lunch box.
She looked at him questionably as he held out the roses to her and looked to the right slightly blushing. She couldn't help but smile as she gratefully took the roses. "Thank you." Bella muttered blushing as well. "I think we should head back to my room now." Bella gestured to the stairs. "We?" Edward asked in confusion, wondering why she meant the both of them. Bella giggled as she pointed to the lunch box in his hand. "You're here to give Dr. Cullen his lunch right? He should be heading to my room right about now so you should give it to him there." Edward's mouth formed a small "o" as he followed her down the stairs.
The walk to her room was far from pleasant as there were whispers down the hall saying "Aw, isn't that sweet?" , "Young love these days." , "He got her flowers.", "Gerald! Why can't you be like that!" followed by dreamy sighs. By the time Edward and Bella got to Room 113 they were both blushing like tomatoes.
Once they entered the room Bella placed the roses on the counter beside her bed. She turned and smiled at him "I'll remind one of the nurses get me a vase later." Bella sat on her bed while Edward grabbed a stool and placed it beside the bed. Edward eyes gazed at Bella sympathetically as he recalled what had happened on the news. "Why are you giving me that look?" Bella asked her tone laced with suspicion. Edward took a deep breath "I saw the news last night."
"And?" she urged him to continue. "I'm sorry about what happened to your father." Edward blurted out. Bella's eyes widened, she could feel tears build up behind her eyes as she the accident flashed before her eyes.
Charlie drove into the school parking lot waiting for his princess. Bella walked out of the school waving to her friends as they exchanged promises to meet up with each other over the summer with her highschool diploma in her hands. Bella opened the door and quickly got in. Tears started to cascade down her cheeks. Charlie sighed as he patted her arm comfortingly. Bella dreaded this date it was the 4th year anniversary of Renee leaving Charlie and Bella without a word, running of with her lover Phil. "Everything's going to be alright sweetie." As hard as she tried Bella couldn't believe the words Charlie said everytime on this date.
Charlie locked eyes with Bella, she could see the sadness and betrayal in his eyes also.
Honk!
"Dad! Look out!" Bella screamed. Charlie's eyes widened as he realized a truck came towards them. He made a sharp right turn. Swiveling the car off the road heading for a ditch.
"Quickly Bella! Get out of the car!" Bella followed Charlie's order believing him to do the same. Her eyes widened as there was no body on the road as the car fell into a deep ditch. Bella screamed as loud as she could. She could feel her voice choking with tears. Then suddenly everything went black.
Edward's eyes widened as Bella began to shake uncontrollably as she stared wide eyed in front of her sobbing and hiccupping. Edward did the only think you could do in this situation. He gathered her up in his arms and buried her face in his chest as she cried. He whispered comforting words in her hair as she wrapped her arms around his waist. She fell asleep after a good ten minutes of crying. Edward got off the bed as he lied her down on her pillow and wrapped the blanket around her. He got off the bed, but a hand held his, still sleeping Bella muttered. "Don't leave, everyone always leaves." Edward's eyes softened. "I won't Bella. I won't."

Carlisle Cullen rushed to room 113 as he was over half an hour behind schedule he opened the door. "Bella I'm sorry I'm late." Carlisle quickly quieted himself down as he grabbed his lunch box and left the room. He smiled in the hall thinking back at what he just witnessed.
Edward and Bella both sleeping. Hand in hand.
