Chapter 6:

A/n: I guess people didn't want to make my day as much as I thought… or maybe I was being selfish asking for 5 reviews…

Well; thank you very much to MyNameIsRini, OECD, and kahleluv cause they were nice and reviewed!! Read on!

I own nothing.

"Is she still doing fine?" Someone asked from outside Bella's room. There were sudden footsteps, and then they asked another question, "When is she going to wake up?"

All of Edward's family had come back into the room, after being gone for an hour. Bella was sound asleep. Charlie followed them all into the room, and then pushed his way through them until he was at Bella's bedside.

"She's been asleep this whole time. I don't think we should wake her." Edward answered. They all turned their heads to look at him. They had not noticed he was still in the room.

"Do you know when she will be permitted to come home?" Charlie asked Edward, still looking at Bella in pity.

"I know what you know." Edward answered in a monotone voice. He was resting his head on his right fist, with a miserable expression plastered to his face.

He had been thinking about what Bella had asked him to do. Still he could not bring himself to tell her that he was having doubts if he could do it himself. He had been playing different scenarios through his head, of how she would reply to his defiance, and fear. All of which ended up with her either running away, or staying but not talking to him ever again.

It was silent in the room. All were gathered around Bella, waiting for her to wake up. Soon enough, Bella's eyes started to flutter open, and then, when they were opened all the way, she gasp, all the people staring at her had frightened her.

Charlie took her hand, and squeezed it lovingly. "Sorry" everyone muttered under his or her breath.

Bella shook her head, "It's fine, I was just didn't realize everyone was here."

"Is there anything you need, Bella?" Emmett asked politely from the back of the group.

"Uh… actually, you could do something for me." Bella paused to take another breath. It was still hard for her to speak. "Does anyone know where the woman is, that was in the other car? I would like to see her, to reassure her I am fine."

"I'll go find out." Emmett answered, and was swiftly out of the room.

Everyone else stayed silent while Emmett was off finding that woman for Bella. Soon though, to everyone's relief, Emmett walked back in the room with the woman following closely behind.

"Hello, Bella, is it? How are you?" She seemed timid, and afraid of what Bella was going to do in response of seeing her. "My name is Margret, Maggie for short. You can call me whichever. I don't really mind. Uh, are you—" She paused, flustered, and put her hand on her head in frustration. "I'm so sorry." A single tear rolled down her tan face, which she quickly wiped away. "Oh, ah, I shouldn't be the one crying… sorry."

"Please, come closer. There's no reason to be that far away." Charlie interjected, springing up from his spot on the side of the bed, and receding to the back corner of the room. Maggie timidly walked forward, and sat stiffly on the side of Bella's bed.

"I, wanted to say sorry." Bella said, meeting Maggie's gaze. "I don't know what I was thinking driving like that on that road. I should have been more careful. I'm so glad that you weren't seriously injured."

"Wha—You should not be the one saying sorry, Miss Swan. I wish that I could of taken back those moments. You would be fine and not in this mess. But, this is certainly not the time to asking 'what if's'. I just… is there anything I could do for you? I feel a need to do something, to make up for that most vital mistake."

"I just would like you to make sure that you don't feel necessary to blame this… mistake… on yourself alone, or at all! I would like just to put it behind us. Also, I wanted to make sure that you were fine, and the crash didn't leave you hurt in any way."

"Oh, I am in tip-top shape. I was just frazzled. I hope you aren't in too much pain." Maggie exclaimed, smiling brightly at Bella to show that she was fine. Bella smiled weakly back at her.

Just then, Carlisle walked back into the room, and verbalized, "Oh, you're all here! How are you doing, Bella? I was just coming by, to inform you and everyone that you are able to leave the hospital tonight if you wish. All we should tell you is that if you feel dizzy or very weak that you should come back. Other than that, you're free to go.

"Now?" Charlie asked surprised. Carlisle nodded, and then after smiling warmly at Bella, he walked out of the room and down the hall. Charlie looked at Bella, and then walked the two feet that separated them and helped her get out of the bed.

"Are you sure she wants to leave, Charlie?" Edward asked, bolting up from his chair, and striding over to the Bella's other side, taking her arm. "Shouldn't you hear what Bella wants to do first? Before pulling her from her bed?"

"I'm fine, Edward. Really. I think I should go home, I would be much more comfortable there." Bella explained, while looking down at the ground. She still didn't feel comfortable looking at Edward in the eyes. It still hurt her how he reacted to her request to change her.

Edward let go gently, and stepped back. Charlie put his arm around her waist and supported her weight while Emmett, who was closest to the wheelchair, brought it to her. She sat down gently, and Charlie pushed her out of the room and down the hall. Then, as they were exiting the hospital, Maggie jogged up to them, and handed Charlie a card.

"If there is anything at all I can do for you, please call me. I also have my work number, and address on that card. So, if you can't reach me, or something. Please, feel free to call anytime. Sorry again. Good bye!" She instructed Bella and Charlie. Then quickly bowed her head, and walked quickly back into the hospital.

"Well, that's nice of her. I'm sorry that she had to go through that though." Bella whispered to herself.

The ride home was silent, and filled with awkward glances from Charlie. When they finally got to the house, Charlie gently helped Bella up to her bedroom, and tucked her in. She quietly whispered "Thank you" and he walked out, closing the door behind him.

Sleep did not come so easily to Bella, as she thought that it would. The day's traumatizing moments replayed in her head all night, and she was worrying non-stop about where Edward was.

Then, around eleven, right when she was finally settling in, someone climbed into her bedroom window, making a loud thud. And then, they were leaning over Bella, and about tot kiss her, when Charlie called to Bella from right outside her room.

A/n Oh, I know. I had a really hard time writing this chapter for some reason. I just didn't have a great idea to go on. And I'm deeply sorry if it disappoints you…

Plus, it's kinda a transition from pre to post accident 'drama'… and I probably could of made it better… but the lack of reviews didn't really help me have the energy… lol

I promise the next chapter will be better though!! Girl scouts honor…. ((I can do that, cause I was a GS like… when I was 8!))
