Chapter 4 – Awakening
(BPOV)
I was in total darkness and couldn't find my way out of it. I could hear people talking and something beeping. I didn't know where I was at and it was freaking me out. I could see a light and started to move towards it until I felt something pulling me back to wherever it is that I am at. I just wanted it to all end. I don't know why I was feeling this way but I was. I could hear someone say she is coming to now. That is when I started feeling all the pain in my body. My sides were on fire and my leg and arm felt like they were being cut off that is how bad the pain was. I tried to move my head and I screamed. I then heard someone say "Welcome back Bella. Please try to keep your head still. You have a severe concussion and I know it must hurt to move it." I took a couple deep breaths in and out and tried opening up my eyes but they didn't seem to want to open.
After trying to open my eyes about twelve more times I finally succeeded. I looked up and saw the angel who I knew I knew but I couldn't place how I knew him. I smiled at him and then said "Who are you and what happened to me?" I could see his smile slip and that is when I remembered where I saw him at. I was in a hotel room with Jasper and Rosalie and James had shown up. I remembered him beating me and then as he was cutting me four men rushed into the room and helped Jasper. I remembered this angel now. His name was Carlisle. I licked my lips and then said "You're my angel. Thank you for saving me Carlisle." After I said that I went back to sleep.
(CAPOV)
I was glad that she was awake and that she seemed to remember. After I got her settled into a private room I went to the waiting room to talk to Charlie, Aro, Jasper, Rosalie, and my family. I knew they were all waiting anxiously for news on Bella. I walked into the waiting room and Charlie spotted me and came over with everyone following close behind him. I said "She is awake now and she does remember. She called me her angel and remembered that I worked on her to save her before she passed out from the pain at the hotel. She is sleeping now but you guys can go in two at a time to see her. Just please keep it quiet and do not say anything that will cause her more added stress. She needs to rest and heal. If everything goes well in a couple days we can fly her back to Forks but we will need a private jet so that she can lay down. I do not want any pressure on her ribs and sitting up will cause that especially in a cramped space in a commercial plane. Now Charlie I know you can not afford it so I will gladly give the money for the private jet." As I said this I saw Charlie nod and then Aro spoke up and said "You guys can use my private jet. Also the cars will be on their way to Charlie's now. Charlie do you mind if I come back with you for a while? I also want Jane and Alec to stay so that they can help if need be. You know that those two are great bodyguards when they are needed." I looked back in forth between Charlie and Aro and Charlie said "Thank you Aro that would be nice and you know you are welcome to stay at my house." I looked to where my family was and saw them trying to calm Jasper and Rosalie down again. I said "Charlie, Aro, Jasper, and Rosalie if you guys would like I will let you four go in to see Bella. I know you guys are worried about it." I saw Rosalie look at my son Emmett and then she said "If you don't mind I would like to wait. I would like to have Emmett with me when I see her so that I don't lose it." I just smiled and nodded and noticed that Jasper was sitting next to my daughter Alice. I could see that they both wanted to wait so I spoke up and said "Charlie, Aro, and Edward why don't you three come with me? I will take you to see Bella." I saw them each nod and I left the waiting room with them following me. I know that I should have just let Aro and Charlie go but I could see that it was hurting Edward not to see her right now. I know that Charlie had hopes that Edward and Bella would hit it off so I knew he would not mind me including Edward with him and Aro. I could see that I was right as Charlie looked at me and smiled.
(CHPOV)
I was glad to hear Carlisle say that my precious daughter was going to be alright. I was even gladder to see that Edward had taken to Bella at first sight. I have hopes that they will get together one day and I know that Edward would protect Bella from anything and everything. When we got to her room I took a deep breath and then walked in. As soon as I walked into her hospital room I stopped in my tracks. Laying on the bed was my daughter but she didn't look the same. Her face was swollen and she had cast on. I wanted to cry but I know I had to be strong for her. I would do everything in my power to make sure that the S.O.B. who put her in here would never be able to hurt her again.
I walked up to her and took her hand in mine and said "Bella its dad and I'm here when you wake up. You will be okay honey. You will never be hurt again." I heard the others echoing what I said and I knew then that she would be protected no matter what. I looked back and saw Edward walking up to her and I could tell that he was angry just by the j]
daughter who he doesn't really even know. I knew then that he would always be with my daughter and I thanked God for it because I knew that if I wasn't with her he would be to make sure that nothing happened like this ever again.
(EPOV)
As I walked into Bella's hospital room I felt all my anger return. How dare that asshole hurt MY BELLA! There I go again thinking of her as my Bella. When I saw how she looked laying in that bed I vowed to myself that nothing or no one would ever hurt her again. I walked towards her hospital bed and then I stopped and just looked down at her. I felt something squeeze in my chest but I did not know what it was and nor did I care at this point. All I cared was that Bella get better quickly and we get her home. I made a mental note to myself to talk to Charlie about me being around a lot when we take Bella home. I want to be sure that she is alright and I want to protect her.
I looked down as I heard her moan and then her eyes opened up. She took a breath and said "It's my other Angel. Please don't leave me." I looked into her eyes and knew that there was nothing on this Earth that could make me leave her side. I do not know if it was her talking or the pain medicine but I knew I was not leaving her alone even in the hospital. As I stared into her beautiful eyes I said "Do not worry I will not be leaving your side. I will stay with you." She smiled and then drifted back off to sleep. I looked over to Charlie who nodded his head and then him and Aro left the room.
I pulled the chair up closer to her bedside and sat down in it and I took her hand in mine. I do not know what made me do it but I bent down and kissed her hand and then stood up a little to bend down and kiss her forehead. She is precious to me and I have only known her a few short hours. However it was long enough for me to know that one day she would be mine and I protect what is mine.
(BPOV)
I blinked my eyes open and saw the other angel who had helped save me. I just couldn't help but keep looking in his eyes. They were baby blue and so pretty. I had to take a deep breath and then I said "Its my other Angel. Please don't leave me." I just kept looking in his eyes as he kept looking in mine and then he said "Do not worry I will not be leaving your side. I will stay with you." I smiled as I looked up at him and then I could feel sleep overtaking me again so my eyes closed and I fell asleep. As I laid there I dreamed about my angel. I knew he was still there with me because I felt him kiss my hand and then my head. I wondered who he was. I racked my brain and then remembered that my other angel Carlisle called him Edward. I like that name.
As I was laying there and dreaming I felt peaceful for the first time in a long time. I don't know why but I knew in my heart that Edward wouldn't let anything happen to me. He would stay and protect me. I may not know him but I knew this for some unexplained reason. I started to dream of James beating me and I could feel my body tense up and I heard Edward whisper "It's alright love you are safe. Nothing can hurt you now. Sleep love and I will be here when you wake up." I couldn't help but smile and my sleep went back to a restful sleep. I slept for a while and then I woke up because I was in pain and I looked over and there was Edward still holding my hand and he was sleeping in the chair. I shifted a little trying to get comfortable and he woke up with a start. He looked around the room to make sure that everything was okay and then he looked at me and said "Are you alright Bella? Are you in pain?" I think he could tell I was because my eyes was filling with tears and I said "Yes I hurt so much and I woke up because of the pain." He leaned over me and pushed the nurse's call button and a minute later Carlisle came in with some pain medicine. After that I couldn't feel a thing and I drifted back to sleep after saying "Thank you Edward for being here with me." I could hear the smile in his voice as he said "I will always be with you love." I wasn't sure if I dreamed that or not but I do know it put a smile on my face as I went back to sleep.
