Chapter 7

Disclaimer: Stephanie Meyer owns all.

By the way, for all those confused about the worry (Emmett and Rosalie) in Alice's vision the wreck/ debris destroyed the boat and its passengers. Sorry about the confusion and thanks for pointing that out!

Bella's POV

I felt soothing cold hands stroking the contours of my face. My eyes fluttered open. "She's awake." An angel's voice called. My angel, my Edward was here. I looked up into his dark gold eyes, trying to recall what had happened, but my mind drew a blank.

"Edward." I muttered practically soundlessly. Edward lifted my head near his.

"What happened?" I asked. Edward responded by kissing me lightly. I completely forgot about my question. When he set my head back down on the pillow I got a good look around the room I was in.

Everything inside the room was a ghostly white. It resembled a room, eerily familiar to me. The hospital. I groaned. Edward must have thought something was wrong because he instantly took my hand in his.

"What is it, my sweet Bella?" He asked softly. I smiled and answered him.

"Hospital." Edward smiled the crooked smile that melted my heart.

"Sleep." Edward said soothingly. I allowed my eyes to close and was about to relax when I heard the door slam open. My eyes shot open immediately to see who had disrupted my slumber and saw Emmett, still wearing his wet bathing suit, standing in the doorway.

"Bella, I'm so terribly sorry!" Emmett exclaimed and rushed over to my bedside. He was about to embrace me when Edward said

"Not so soon. There will be plenty of time for apologies later. Right now Bella needs to get some sleep." I smiled at him gratefully and closed my eyes once more.

Edward's POV

I watched Bella sleep peacefully, not leaving her bedside. Emmett had left the room to let Bella sleep. Carlisle came in to check on her and left when he saw her sleeping. I appreciated the peaceful alone time and thought about the recent course of events.

Yesterday we began that stupid game of Alice's. At first we went rollerblading which didn't go too horribly, but then Emmett had the brilliant idea of going waterskiing. At first I wouldn't allow it but then Alice convinced me by saying it would only drizzle at the least and that Bella would be fine.

Now that I think about it, all Alice's visions today had not come true. It did more than drizzle. Bella did not come out unharmed. I didn't get hurt by the motor and Emmett and Rosalie didn't' die in the boat wreck. This was abnormal. Alice was usually never wrong about this many events.

Before I could ponder any further on the subject, the door slammed open for the second time that day. Now standing in the doorway was the fuming police chief, Charlie Swan. He stormed over to Bella, attempting to push me away, but failing miserably.

"YOU!" He shouted, turning towards me. "You did this to her!"

Bella's eyes flew open at the loud noise her father was making. "Dad?" She questioned him.

"As soon as you are recovered we are going home and you will never see that...boy again!" Charlie demanded.

I wanted more than ever to protest, but knew that would only get me into more trouble. Instead Bella began to argue back.

"Dad, it wasn't Edward who made me go skiing. It was me. I wanted to do something dangerous and that was the first thing I thought of." Bella said innocently.

She was a horrible liar and her eyes gave that away but she had said that so sweetly that Charlie found it hard to not believe it. Why would Bella do this? She does seem to be telling the truth though... Charlie thought.

"Are you positive?" He asked softly. Bella nodded. I smiled and winked at her form behind Charlie's back. Bella laughed and Charlie spun around to see why.

I swiftly sat in a nearby chair and pretended to be reading an outdoors magazine before Charlie had completely turned around.

"Well, get some sleep then Bella." Charlie said as he left the room.

Seconds after he was gone, Carlisle came into the room, beamed at Bella then at me and said, "You are free to go."

Please review. I 'd like 60 (?) reviews before Ch7. You people review faster than I can type. So if there is a delay after I get 60 than don't be angry. I do my best. Thanks!
