Hey Everyone, thankyou so much for the reviews! Sorry it took me so long to post this one. My friend had to proof it for me and she has been busy!
I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. They all belong to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer!
Previously,
'Hi', was all I could manage.
Jacob looked at me, questioning me with his eyes. I looked away from his gaze and I heard him take a step closer. Then I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and Edward walked into the room.
He stopped in his tracks.
Jacob growled 'What is he doing here?'
Chapter 4
Not waiting for me to answer, Jacob launched himself across the room, lifting Edward from the ground and pinning him to the wall. The house shook from the impact and I dropped my glass of water. It shattered at my feet.
Edwards face was riddled with pain, and he looked like he was having trouble breathing.
I ran towards them. Jacob was growling profanities in Edwards face and his whole body was shaking. I tugged at Jacobs left arm but he wouldn't let go.
Edward had tears forming in his eyes, and his lips were pressed hard together. He looked like he was holding in a scream.
'I asked you a question leech' Jacob growled, his saliva landing on Edwards face.
'Jacob,' I screamed. ' Let him go. Can't you see he's in pain? Your hurting him. '
Jacob turned his head and glared at me. What I saw terrified me. His eyes were black as night and his lips were curled up baring his teeth as a snarl escaped his mouth. I quickly took a step back. I could tell that he was losing control.
'Please let him go', I whispered so my voice didn't break. ' He's Human.'
'Don't be ridiculous Bella' Jacob growled.
He then turned back to Edward and pulled him away from the wall, only to throw him back into it. The house shook again and the plaster cracked above Edwards head. He let out a scream and I couldn't hold back any longer. I barged Jacob but he didn't move. Instead I flew backwards, landing on my back.
I heard another thump and then saw Jacob kneeling over me. He had dropped Edward.
'Bella, are you ok?' he looked worried and reached out his hand to help me up. I ignored his offer, sat up and looked at Edward. He was lying on the floor and blood was seeping out the back of his head.
'Edward', I screamed and scrambled my way over to him. Jacob tried to grab my arm, but I shrugged him off.
I could smell the blood, and my head started to spin. I shook it in an attempt to concentrate.
'Jacob. Get me a tea towel from the kitchen', I yelled.
'I'm so sorry Bella. I didn't realise'.
I tuned to look at him. Jacob was frozen in place, his eyes looked sad and scared.
'Its not me you need to apologise to Jake. Please get me a tea towel, and then we need to take him to the hospital.' Jacob looked from me to Edward and then turned into the kitchen.
'Edward', I whispered in his ear. ' Open your eyes'. Blood was covering my hand. I was too worried and upset to pay attention.
'Edward, please', my voice broke and I could feel the tears falling down my face.
'Uh.' He made a noise. 'Bella.' It was barely comprehendible.
'Edward, stay with me. Dont leave me again'. I was sobbing when Jacob walked back into the room carrying at towel. I snatched it from him. I wasn't in the mood to be polite.
'Jacob, you need carry Edward to the car.' I ordered as I placed the towel on the back of Edward's head. 'We need to take him to the Emergency room.'
Jacob just nodded and lent down to put his arms under Edwards limp body.
I held the towel in place while as we walked out the front door towards Jacobs Rabbit. I didn't look back at the mess that was left at the foot of the stairs. Hopefully I could get in contact with Charlie before he got home from work. He would have a fit as soon as he walked through the front door.
Edward was making noises, but was still unconscious as Jacob slid him into the back seat. I slid under his head. The towel was slowly turning red. I wasn't sure how big the cut on his head was. I would have looked if I thought I could hold down the contents of my stomach.
Jacob jumped into the driver's seat, started the Rabbit, and took off. My body jerked backwards and I gripped onto Edward to stop him falling onto the floor.
'Bella', he mumbled again. 'I love you'.
I gasped. He was unconscious and his head was bleeding. Surely he didn't mean that.
Jacob kept glancing in the rear vision mirror at me as he drove faster than the legal speed limit. Usually this would bother me. Not right now though. Not while Edward was in danger.
I looked down at his face. It was twisted in pain This was certainly a role reversal. The hero has become a damsel in distress. Well not a damsel entirely, he wasn't wearing a dress. I felt myself smirk, and then quickly composed myself. This wasn't the time to be making jokes.
But even though he was unconscious and bleeding all over my clothes, he was here in my arms. I had never thought I would ever see him again. I felt suddenly whole, complete. I realised that I felt this way the moment I opened my eyes this afternoon and realised it was Edward who was looking back at me.
I didn't think this was a dream anymore. This was too real even for my overactive imagination.
I noticed that my head was still throbbing from when I had hit my head. I hadn't had a chance to take any pain killers before Jacob attacked Edward.
And then it hit me. Jacob attacked Edward. My best friend had hurt the love of my life. And now Edward was lying in my arms unconscious. I felt rage fill me, and more tears flowed out my eyes. Why had Jacob attacked him? Even if Edward was still a vampire, that would have broken the treaty.
But Edward was human, and what if he was seriously hurt? I quickly pushed back those thoughts. I didn't want to think about what would happen if he didn't survive.
Instead I studied his face. He was still extraordinarily handsome. He was so soft, so warm. Not as warm as Jacob, but warm like me. I still didn't understand how he could be human.
We pulled up outside the Emergency Department and Jacob jumped out for the car and ran inside. Edward stirred at the sudden cease in movement.
'Sh Edward, were at the hospital now'.
He mumbled something and I couldn't make it out. I tried to soothe him wondering what was taking Jacob so long.
'No', Edward shouted. It made me jump. 'Dont call Carlisle', he said then. 'Only Alice'.
I was confused then. 'Why?' I asked hoping he was conscious enough to understand.
'Only Alice knows'.
I stared at him in bewilderment. His family didn't know he was human?
At that moment the door opened and three nurses were standing next to the car with a gurney. Jacob was standing behind them and his face was blank. I didn't want to look at him right now.
'Honey, your going to need to get out of the car if were going to move him', one of the nurses said. I nodded and slid out from under Edwards head. He winced in pain.
Two of the nurses pulled him out of the back seat and the other lined up the gurney. When he was out, I glanced in the car. The back seat was covered in blood on the side that Edwards head was. My stomach lurched and I decided not to look at my clothes. The nurses started to wheel Edward away.
'Stop,' I yelled and ran after them. When I caught up, I pulled at Edward's pockets, leaving bloody hand prints on his clothes, until I found what I was looking for. A tiny silver mobile phone.
I flipped it open and went straight to the address book, pressing the green button when I found the correct number.
'Edward', Alice yelled. ' You disappeared and I couldn't see you anymore. Where are you?'
'Alice, Its Bella', I responded. My voice sounded flat tried not to break into tears again. ' Edward's in hospital'.
'I'm on my way', and then there was silence. I realised she had hung up.
I pulled the phone away from my ear and closed it. The silver cover was smeared red from my hands. I shoved it into my pocket and turned to Jacob.
'Call Charlie', I ordered and turned towards the door.
'Where are you going Bella?' he yelled after me.
'To be with the man that I love.'
I hope you like it so far.
Please review and tell me what you think :)
