To get her off of me, I whipped around and her teeth ripped out of my neck. One split second later, I saw Alice out of the corner of my eyes leaping on to the female. Seconds later, the burning started. It wasn't as much as the first time, but it was noticeable.

Edward, get Bella out of here. Esme thought. We'll finish her.

Turned back around to Bella, and my eyes grew wide with horror. I knelt down to her and rolled her onto her back. There was a lot of blood. Her hair was caked together around her face. She had a cut lip and a broken nose. I was guessing she passed out because of the smell.

A growl rose in my throat, but I had to ignore it. Bella looked in really bad shape. I had to get her out of here, and fast.

I heard nasty sounds from behind me; snarling and yelling. I carefully cradled Bella in my arms and escaped through the broken window. I could smell that Carlisle was right behind me.

Edward I'll drive, you sit in back. Carlisle thought.

I ran around front and got to my car. I placed Bella in the back and swiftly sat down next to her. I put her head in my lap, and tried to wipe the hair out of her face. Her heart was beating slow, unaware of all the action going on around her.

Soon we were on the highway speeding to the hospital.

"I can't believe I let this happen," I whispered. I stared out the window, watching the trees blur by.

"It's not your fault Edward." Carlisle reassured me.

"I can't believe I wasn't there to protect her." I am constantly beating myself up inside, and I deserved it.

"Edward, you are sounding like Bella," Carlisle laughed a little. "You can't be everywhere at once. If I recall, you did protect her...you stood right in front of her."

I shook my head to myself. I gazed out the window, staring at all the blurred lights ahead of us. Just then, Bella moved ever so slightly. I quickly looked back at her, and her eyes fluttered open.

"Bella, can you hear me?" I said while I touched her cheek.

Just then we pulled into the hospital.

I'll meet you in there. Carlisle thought. I cradled Bella in my arms again and ran through the sliding doors of the hospital.

"Someone help me." I yelled. I half ran to the first desk I saw.

"Sir we need you to remain calm. What happened?" I stood there shocked.

The lady behind the desk sat calmly and seemed to be un-rushed. I noticed her name tag, and it said Clara. She pushed her glasses down her nose and tilted her head to see me.

"My fiancé is bleeding! And you want me to tell you why?!" I asked. I glanced back down and Bella again, and she was looking worse. I didn't have time to bicker about poor service. "She was-," Clara suddenly was focused on something besides me. She straightened up in her chair and pushed her glasses back up on her nose.

"Well, good evening Dr. Cullen." She smiled flakily.

I turned and Carlisle was strolling through the gliding doors. I rolled my eyes.

"Good evening Clara. Is there a reason this gentleman is not being helped. Clearly he is handling someone in bad shape." Carlisle winked at me and smiled. Thank god he was here. I was getting aggravated and was almost about to lose it.

"Come with me son." Carlisle said as he looked at Clara. She smiled sheepishly.

He led me to a room and closed the door. I gently set Bella on the bed, pulled up a chair close to her side and removed her shoes.

Carlisle snapped on a pair of rubber gloves, grabbed some cleaning fluid and cotton swabs. He started to clean Bella's lip and nose. I slid my hand into hers and squeezed it gently.

As bad as I felt thinking about it, it was good Bella was knocked out; she would probably be blaming herself for everything that happened and I would have to reassure her every time that it wasn't.

"Well, she defiantly broke her nose. Gashed her lip pretty bad, and has many little wounds where the glass hit her." I lifted her wilted arm and it had pink spots all over.

"Some glass is still in the wounds and I will take them out know while she is out. If you weren't in front of her Edward, it could have been a lot worse. Most of the cuts are from when she fell to the ground." He stood up to get a pair of tweezers from the emergency cart in the room. When he sat back down he gave me a smile that said everything is going to be alright.

000x000x000x000x

A half hour later, Carlisle had removed all fifty eight glass shards from Bella's arms and a couple on her stomach. Surprisingly, Bella hadn't lost a lot of blood, which was a huge sigh of relief.

Carlisle had placed a gauze pad on her nose and a bandage on her lip. And she was still unconscious.

The thick wooden door of the room opened, and one of the nurses came shuffling in.

"Mr. Cullen, good evening." She was as tall as Alice, and had short, thick orange hair.

"No. Not so good." I replied coldly.

"Here is gown. When she wakes she may change into it." She sat it down on the table and removed herself from the little room.

I watched her until the door was completely closed. Bella stirred, mumbling my name. She pulled her hand that had mine in it and put it under the side of her face. A small smile flickered on my face.

Oh, how the littlest things she does makes me so incredibly happy.

I leaned down and kissed her forehead lightly. I began to hum her lullaby and she didn't wake until the morning.

B. POV

When I opened my eyes, I was in a very uncomfortable bed. A thin sheet and blanket covered me up. I looked down and first I saw a thick pad covering most of my nose, but I looked around that and saw that I was still in my dirty jeans and t-shirt from the previous night.

I tried to sit myself up, but my arms hurt. It felt like there were little needles in my arm. I sighed heavily, and decided to lay back down.

My first thought was, 'where is Edward?' But then I looked up and saw him. He was facing away from me, staring blankly out the window. He was close enough that I could see a crescent shape on his neck. I cringed mentally and immediately felt guilty about everything that had happened. I almost didn't want to disturb him for he looked very concentrated..

"Are you okay?" I asked quietly. I said it so softly I didn't think he would hear me. He turned around quickly, and a smile spread over is lips. He was in the chair next to my bed within seconds. He put his hand in mine, and lifted it to kiss my fingers.

"What happened?" I asked. Edward looked exhausted. He needed to hunt. He had small, but dark purple bags under is eyes. His eyes that are normally pure gold where pitch black.

He just smiled and swept the hair out of my face with his free hand.

"You broke you nose, and bit your lip pretty bad. You have fifty-eight cuts on your arms and your stomach from falling on glass." He said while lifting my arm up so it was in my line of vision. Ah, that was the source of my pain. They weren't deep enough to form permanent scars.

Angular pink spots where placed randomly on my arm. They were all different sizes, ranging from centimeters to inches. I lifted up the neckline on my t-shirt and peered down at my stomach. One was lesion just to the left of my bellybutton and there was another one on my right side on my rib cage. Little fuzzes from the gown had stuck to the ointment on the cuts.

I put the collar down and looked up to where Edward should have been sitting. He was at the opened door speaking softly to someone on the other side. Just then a lady with an abundance or short orange hair came in. She was carrying a small bag of fluid.

"Hello Bella. How are you feeling?" she asked while switching out the bag on the dripper with the one in her hand.

"Fine." I muttered. "When can I go home?" I overcame the pain in my arms and propped myself up.

Edward was fluffing the pillows and putting them behind my back to sit me up. He paused when he finished with my pillows. He was leaning over me, and I could smell his sweet scent. He lowered his head and kissed my forehead lightly. My heart began to flutter, and I blushed. The nurse was watching us with intense eyes.

She ignored my question and asked me another one. "Do you have any pain in your arms or nose?" she said still fidgeting with the bag.

"No." I lied. I knew not to fall into that trap again. I wanted to be awake so I could talk to Edward. The nurse just smiled. Obviously I wasn't getting my way. There was an awkward pause, but she began again.

"I would have to suggest Mr. Cullen that you refrain from too much physical contact. She is tender and swollen and we want her to heal properly." She said accusingly.
"Oh yes, of course anything for my Bella." he replied calmly. I saw him wink out of the corner of my eye.

When the nurse turned to leave, I lifted my eyebrows in an 'I can't believe she just said that' kind of way. He just smiled one of his cunning smiles. I looked and the nurse was still in the room. She stayed for a few more second before leaving. When the door clicked shut. I immediately looked at Edward.

"You aren't seriously going to listen to her are you? I mean it could be like week for this baby to heal." I said while putting my finger right under my split lip.

"Yes." He said flatly.

I slowly sat up to my knees on the bed so I was his level. It was hard to maneuver with and IV in my arm. I leaned in close to him until my lips where barely touching his. I softly blew on his lips.

"Please?" I said in my best seductive voice. I was trying my best to do to him what he does to me all the time.

He paused, thinking about what I said he leaned in even closer so our lips where practically touching. "No." he finally said.

"Fine," I said incoherently, as I pulled back. I threw myself back into my pillows, and began to daydream.

I noticed that my eyelids started to get heavy, and my body went numb. I opened my eyes as far as I could; which probably wasn't far, and peered at Edward. "Hey I said no.....painkillers," I was becoming sleepier and sleepier by the second. "I'm not done with you.......Edwar......" I drifted into unconsciousness. The last thing I heard was Edward's laugh.

Now look, you're even closer to the button than before. I don't care if it is a smiley face or a sad face....JUST SOMETHING! Thank you I hoped you liked this chapter.
