AN: I was gonna add more but I didn't want to clutter this chapter.
"Hey Em. I know it's hard to talk about, but what happened that night?"
"I… Bell… It's just… I don't know where to start Bell." He looked like he was plagued with inner turmoil.
"Em its fine if you don't want to talk, that's fine. I was just curious."
"No Bell I need to talk about it but I don't know where to begin. The accident was entirely my fault. If it hadn't been for me Edward would be standing right next to you." Hmm he actually is standing next to me but I'm not going to say that because it's a one way ticket to the loony bin. "You know Bell you and Edward would really get along."
"Em what do you mean the accident was your fault?"
Emmett POV
"You know that we moved here from Chicago right?" She nodded. "Well Edward was on the football team with me and we had just won state championships. Edward and Alice were sophomores and I was a junior. Alice had gone out with some friends and Edward and I were going to a party.
"At that party, I got really wasted. Edward wasn't comfortable drinking. Well he tried to get me to leave and we got in a big fight. I ended up punching him in the face, broke his nose. Well he was pissed off at me and left.
"The next morning, when I woke up, I had a voicemail from dad, saying to come to the hospital. When I got there mom and Alice were sitting in the corner crying together. I had no idea what was going on but I got a weird feeling. Just then, dad walked out of surgery. He leaned up against the wall and slid down it so he was sitting. He hung his head between his knees and cried. I have never seen my dad cry.
"I demanded to know what had happened. Dad explained that Edward was driving from the party and lost control of the car when a deer jumped out in front of him. Edward liked to speed and I do mean speed. He rarely went under 90mph, but never over 100mph, where we lived out in the country. The police report said he was going over 150mph.
"The car flipped several times and he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. He's very lucky it didn't kill him. He had a broken neck, fractured spine in 3 places, severe cranial bleeding, broken right femur and broken left tib-fib. Dad says even if he does wake up, he might be paralyzed. Also now that he's been in the coma for so long that he might not be coherent if he wakes up. Right after we moved here, he started to fight his ventilator and gave us all hope that he would wake up. That was a year ago."
Bella wrapped her small arms around me and held me while we both cried. "Emmett the accident was not your fault."
"Had I not gotten drunk and gotten in a fight, Edward would not have been driving that fast. He wouldn't have lost control and wouldn't have crashed."
"Em you said he liked to drive fast. He still would have lost control if the deer jumped out in front of him."
RINGGGG…RINNNGGG… I picked up my phone. "Hi Rosie yes I'll be there in a few minutes, I got a little side tracked. I love you too."
"Hey Bell I have to go."
"Bye Em."
AN: I'll put Edward's reaction to what happened in the next chapter. Please Review!
