Edward's P.O.V.
An unknown amount of time passed before I realized I had better check on my other
patients before things became too conspicuous. There was just one problem with this: How was I
supposed to gather the strength to leave her side? In one fluid motion I stood up and gently kissed
her cool forehead. I turned away, but realized I couldn't make my feet move forward. I thought
maybe one more look back would help me hold off until I could return to her, but all
that did was make me take an involuntary step in her direction. I groaned at how difficult this
simple task had become. I just had to keep reminding myself that this time I could return because
I had already broken my promise and me being here might actually help her rather than endanger
her like I hade so many times in the past.
With this thought in mind I ran at vampire speed down the hallway to my next patient,
checked on him as quickly as I possibly could and made my way to the next. When I came to a
stop I exhaled sharply in realization that I had only returned to her room. She truly was a danger
magnet to drag me in so easily. It took all the strength I had not to run to her and hold her in my
arms, never letting go. Lecturing myself the whole way there I walked -at the pace of a fit human's
running- to my second to last patient for the day.
Seeing her was more than I could bear. I fell to my knees feeling like I was about to
cry. There on a small hospital bed was a little girl with brown hair ,wide, brown eyes
and an uncanny resemblance to a picture I had seen of Bella at around the same age. The
reason this brought me near tears was the fact that it wasn't very likely for her to make it much
more than a week due to being attacked by some type of animal in the forest. She had been out
wandering by herself in the forest and was found nearly bleeding herself to death. I realized that
the same thing could have happened to my Bella, but in her case I would have been the one that
had nearly left her lifeless. This also gave me a glimpse of how it would feel to loose her in such a
short amount of time. Thankfully the girl was too distracted by a bird she saw out the window to
even notice I had entered, so I quickly scrawled a report down and exited the room.
I spent the least time possible in the next room as I could so , that I could finally go check
on my love to see if she was alright. While walking sulkily down the familiar hallway that lead to
her room I paused not believing what I heard. I could hear several minds that I recognized all too
well. They were the voices of my family.
I could hear Emmett's booming voice rising above all the others as he yelled profanities
at the small television set for a bad call made in some football game.
I could hear the compassionate worries of Esme and Carlisle as they peered at Bella's
still form. Carlisle was going over the many different medical reasons for what had happened to
her and trying to find a way she could be cured.
Jasper felt remorse for all the problems he had caused in Bella's life.
The strongest mental voice was Alice's as she thought Poor Bella. Look at what she is
dressed in. I wonder if I could slip a nice blue dress on her when no one is looking. I shook my
head at this. No one had changed at all while I was gone. Especially Alice the girl who cared more
about the way she was dressed than anything in the world.
When I entered the room I was outraged to find all the noise Emmett was making, so I
sprinted over to the television, turned it off , and faced Emmett to shoot a death glare at him
"Hey I was watching that." he said sounding like a five year old.
"What possessed you to have it loud enough to be heard throughout the whole hospital
while Bella is resting." I roared.
"Well, you want her to wake up don't you?" He said with a shrug like it made all the sense
in the world.
Alice must have seen what I was about to do, because Carlisle quickly said with as much
authority as possible. "Boys, stop! " While stepping in between us.
"Nark." I mumbled almost inaudibly so that only Alice, the closest person to me, could
hear. Immediately I began to picture how good her designer clothes would look once I ran them
over with my latest Volvo.
"You wouldn't." she gasped seeing what I was planning.
"Don't be so sure." I said taking a step towards the door, knowing I would never leave
Bella but, planning on it anyway so that that was what Alice would see. The next thing I knew I had tiny, little Alice on top of me with my back pressed against a wall. In her mind she was
thinking If you so much as lay a finger on any of my clothes you will never see your Vanquish
again. I could tell that she was not bluffing so I quickly stood up strait, and she must have seen
the future change because she got off of me and smugly stuck her tongue out. I just glared at her
and, turned my attention back to Bella.
