Yay Thanks guys for the... 3 reviews so far, =D It's been really encouraging!
Warning: More Bella -_-
A screeching sound pierced my ears and I felt someone beside me.
I opened my eyes. Oh my.
The someone was on top of me, and it was Edward. He had stopped the van with his hand while making sure the wheels didn't crush my legs.
-Are you okay? -He asked with his calmed voice which at the same time had an worried edge.
I nodded. -Yes, I'm fine.
His face was inches from mine, his nose barely touching mine. It should be illegal for someone like him to be so close to a girl, I almost forgot where we were.
-Bella's under the pickup, you have to leave -I whispered.
-Why didn't you stop it, you could have...
I shook my head. -Someone's going to see you. Go now!
He looked at my arm and widened his eyes. -You are bleeding.
Crap.
People were starting to run our way, I could hear them.
-Edward, go!
He accepted reluctantly and left me there. I stared at the dent his hand had left in the van. How on earth I'm going to explain this to him?
I heard Bella speaking.
-I'm fine -she said breathessly.
-Okay, hold on a second.
I helped her get out.
-How did you... -she winced.
-Let me check your head. -I noticed she had some blood dripping from her hair. Sure enough, she had hit her head with something. Huh, this girl is really clumsy.
-Are you sure you feel okay? You've hit your head.
-Edward... -she mumbled. I froze.
-What?
-How did... you get here so fast?
She was staring blankly. Hmmm she must have been hit really hard. I guess that if she tells this to someone I could always say she was hallucinating because I didn't see anything.
Some guys helped us to get out from between the cars and took us to the local hospital in an ambulance. I just had an scratch in my arm, but insisted to go with Bella, her head worried me.
A nurse was checking my arm and assured me it was not infected. She even complimented my skin.
-You must be having a healthy diet to keep it like this -said the middle-aged nurse.
I smiled and nodded. -How's Tyler and Bella?
-Oh, your friends are alright but the boy received the worst of the crash so he will stay a little longer. You were lucky though, that you weren't squashed.
-Yeah, I guess so.
She guided me to were the others were.
Bella was sitting at the edge of an stretcher while a blond kind-looking doctor examined her.
My mouth hung open while I stared at Dr. Carlisle Cullen.
I cleared my throat. -Hey.
Dr. Cullen fixed his golden gaze on me.
-Ariadne, is good to see you. -He smiled hesitantly.
-Good to see you too Doc. How are they?
He changed to all-business mode. -Miss Swan has a contusion, but nothing serious. This young man, on the other hand...
I grimaced as I took in Tyler's state.
-Bella, Ari, I didn't see you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost control... -he apologized profusely.
-It's okay Tyler, don't worry -Bella soothed him.
-Your father is outside wauting for you -said .
Bella hopped out of the stretcher. -Okay, thanks. -She turned to me. -Thanks Ariadne, I can't think of what would've happened if you hadn't been there.
-Don't worry, I'm glad you're fine.
She nodded and strode out of the room, leaving Dr. Cullen and me in an awkward silence.
-You turned Edward, right? -I spoke first.
-Yes -he sighed -I know you have a lot of questions Ariadne, as we do too, would you mind an agreement?
I shoved my hands in my jean pockets. -It seems fair.
He smiled. -My turn is about to finish. Edward is outside, we will go to my house so you can meet our family and talk calmly, what do you think?
I nodded. -Sounds good.
Edward was leaning against a wall in the waiting room.
I breathed a few times and then approached him. -You are pretty stubborn, you know. You could have exposed yourself back there.
He watched me carefully. -I know, but I still don't understand why you didn't stop it, or get out of the way, you look so... fragile, almost as a human, that's why I had to act. And when I saw your blood... You shouldn't bleed.
I wrinkled my nose. -Yeah and Anne is going to kill me, this blouse is hers. She won't take well that I ruined her favorite one.
Edward frowned. -Anne? Who is Anne?
I realized my mistake. CRAP
I looked around nonchalantly. -A friend, she is my best friend.
-Ahhhh
-Ready? -asked Dr. Cullen from behind us.
As ready as I'll ever be.
