I awake to find myself wrapped protectively in Carlisle's strong arms. "Morning princess," he whispers into my ear, "the family is downstairs already, I think Alice is making you breakfast." I smile into his chest before reluctantly pulling myself up and heading for the bathroom.

A while later I find myself squashed on the couch between Alice and Emmett while they all have a family catch up, talking way to fast for me to understand. My mind starts to wonder to Carlisle and being wrapped in his arms all night, how I could get used to that. A small smile creeps across my face. I look up into the eyes of Jasper who can sense something is up. I quickly look away into the eyes of Alice who looks like she's waiting for me to answer a question I didn't hear.

"Bella?" she asks questioningly.

"Mmmm? Sorry I didn't hear you?"

"I asked if that would be OK with you?"

"If what would be OK?"

"If you would mind us going to Alaska to visit some friends up there for a while?"

A look of shock washed across my face and my heart started hammering in my chest. "All of you?" I asked alarmed. "For how long? Are you coming back?"

Alice placed her hands on my shoulders. "Chill Bella, we won't be gone for long and Carlisle is staying behind because of work and stuff. You know I'm only a days run away if you need me."

I calmed down straight away when I realised Carlisle would be staying. Relief washed through me and I could feel Jasper staring at me again. He's definitely picking up on my feelings. "When are you going?"

"Pretty much now. Edward is there to, I hope you don't mind. I know Esme misses him."

"He's still your family, of course I don't mind." I replied honestly. I certainly never wanted to see him again but he was still apart of the Cullen family.

A while later I said goodbye to Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Esme. Alice pulled me to one side away from everyone else. "Bella, take care of yourself over the next few weeks and promise me you'll follow your heart."

"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"You'll know." She winked at me and hugged me quickly before following the others out the door. I stood in the now quiet room with Carlisle. He gave me a smile and went to say something but my phone rang at the same time. I lifted it to my ear. "Hello?"

"Hey Bella its Ang, I was just calling to find out if you were coming out for Jess's Birthday later?"

I had completely forgotten. "Yea sure," I answered trying to sound enthusiastic. "Where shall I meet you guys?"

"Cool, I'll pick you up at 7 and we'll decide on a bar later."

"OK, see you tonight."

I hung up and sighed.

"Problem?" asked Carlisle.

"Nah, I 'm going out tonight for Jess's Birthday, I just forgot about it is all." Secretly I wanted to stay in and be near Carlisle. I wasn't in the mood for a birthday right now but I did promise I'd go.

"Well I'm working till late tonight. Maybe I could pick you up when my shift ends?" Carlisle offered.

"Yea maybe, I'm not sure where we're going or what's happening yet."

"Well let me know, I 'd prefer to pick you up, then I don't have to worry about you too much." He replied putting his hand on my shoulder. I hadn't realised he'd crossed the room.

CPOV

I was nearing the end of my shift at the hospital. It was a rather quiet night tonight. I sat in the staff room staring at my phone. Bella said she'd let me know if she wanted picking up and I was silently praying for my phone to ring. I didn't feel particularly pleased that she was out again; I just hope she looks after herself and doesn't end up drunk again. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to her. Before the family left for Alaska, Esme pulled me to one side and whispered in my ear, "You take good care of Bella and everything will work out fine, I promise." She had that look in her eyes again, the look that tells me she knows how my feelings have changed towards Bella. Maybe it's time I told her how I feel and stop side stepping around it, yes that is what I shall do.

I was brought out of my thoughts when my phone started ringing and Bella's name flashed across my screen. I felt relief wash through me as I quickly answered. "Hello?" I was confused when I was met with silence on the other end. "Bella, are you there? Can you hear me?" Nothing. I hung up and dialled her number. It rang, and rang and rang. Nothing. Worry crept into my heart as I contemplated what to do. Maybe she rang me accidentally, or maybe she has a weak signal. I will try again in a few minutes and if she doesn't answer I'll go and find her myself.

Minutes passed but it seemed like hours. She still wasn't answering her phone so I grabbed my coat and was about to leave when a nurse rushed in.

"Dr Cullen, there's a trauma coming in ETA 3 minutes."

Great, I thought to myself. "Do we know what happened?" I asked the nurse as I followed her out of the staff room.

"Young female found in an alley, stab wound to the lower abdomen and head trauma."

This world could be so cruel sometimes. I heard the ambulance approaching and a minute later two paramedics rushed in with the young girl on a stretcher.

If my heart could beat it would've stopped. I smelt her before I saw her. Bella.

I think I'll leave it there for now. I was going to do it from BPOV as well but I'll put it in the next chapter. Poor Carlisle, will he be able to save Bella? What happened? Stay tuned to find out xx
