CHAPTER 7 - HOSPITAL

I couldn't feel any part of my body, it seemed disconnected. I wasn't even sure that I heard a body. I tried to remember what happened but I couldn't, it seemed like a dim memory. But I do remember everything else, I remember Edward's face, his voice, his touch and how he kissed me. And how his hand ran down the back of my spine ever now and then. And in the shower when he attacked me with the shampoo and how I jumped on him and we we're kissing like there was no tomorrow. For all I know I could be dead, there could be no tomorrow. No more Edward, no more school, no more Alice or Jasper or Emmett. Or anything. It was all hard to take it. It felt like I was like this forever but then I felt a sudden wave of nausea. I had to get up, I needed to be sick. Won't somebody help me? Then I just threw up, I couldn't feel where it landed because I had no feel of my body. Again I felt the wave of nausea. It felt like it was going as quickly as it was coming but it came so often.

When your dead your supposed to be in peace ? Or am I in hell, being punished for being the most hated person EVER!

I thought of trying to take my mind off everything by counting sheep, you don't sleep when you're dead but still I could concentrate on something different. I then felt a shooting pain throughout my stomach, at least I can feel my body now.

But seriously Satan stop it! I know I need to be punished but not this way.

Then I heard a voice of an angel, it was crying. Why was the angel crying?

"Bella, Bella, Bella." It cried.

"It's not your fault," said another voice.

"IT IS ALICE, IT IS!" The angel shouted.

I didn't like the way I was causing the angel this pain.

"It's mine, I made Jasper tell you because I was jealous that you didn't use her like you used me."

"But she was trying to hurt me anyway."

"No, she tried and it was so obvious by the end of Monday she fell for you. That's why when I tried to remind her to hurt you she would say not yet. But then on Friday she said no and that's why she was crying."

"So, she does like me?" The angel sounded hopeful.

No, no, no. I LOVE YOU!

"Yes, she does."

Then the angel burst out crying once again. This time he sounded more pained and whimpered.

"Oh Bella, I'm so sorry, I love you. Don't leave me, please. I need you!"

I wanted to say, "Don't worry I won't leave you. I'm yours. Your mine." But I couldn't move my lips, I couldn't even see. But then just thinking about it my eyes started to twitch and I slowly opened them to see an angel in distress staring at me and Alice huddled in a ball in the chair staring at me. Charlie's jacket was drapped over the back of the chair but there was no sign of him.

"Bella!" Edward leaned over the bed.

"Edward?" My throat sounded weak. It was burning too.

"Yes love?" Love ... I liked the sound of that.

"I'm sorry." My voice cracked.

"No, no, no I'm sorry Bella. I should have listened to you." He kissed my head.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you too Bella."

"Bella, I'm sorry," Alice cried.

I tried to sit up but there was a pain in my stomach.

"Ouch!" I cried out.

"Bella?" He sounded distressed again.

I sat up but this time slower. The pain wasn't there anymore. But my leg didn't move like it should have, I just stared at it.

"It's broken." I looked at Edward then poked my leg. He chuckled lightly.

"As I was saying, don't be sorry Alice, I shouldn't have promised to do it." I glanced over at Edward and he winced.

"I shouldn't have made you. It was obvious you liked him, I forced this upon you." She stood up and walked over towards me.

"Seriously Alice, don't sweat it." Then I thought about something, "Was I sick?"

"Yeah, Doctor says it from the crash." Edward said but he didn't look convinced.

Charlie walked in and rushed to my side when he saw I was awake.

"Bells," he took my hand.

"I'm okay Char- dad. Seriously. Like I said to Alice, don't sweat it." I looked around and then said, "When can I go home?"

Charlie looked like he wasn't going to move, like I was going to disappear as soon as he looks away. Edward walked out, I guessed it was to ask how long I was staying. He came back a few minutes later with the doctor.

"Hello Isabella," Doctor said.

"Bella," I corrected.

"Well Bella, how are you feeling?"

"I'm good. Well as good as can be, when can I go home?"

"Soon, within this week."

Huh. "What day is it?"

"Tuesday, you've been out since Friday."

"Oh, well. At least I slept." I joked lightly.

"Silly Bella." Edward muttered.

I looked at him and smiled, he smiled back. Charlie saw this between and tighten his grip my hand ever so slightly.

"Can't I go earlier?" I asked.

"You sure you are fine? Don't down play it." The doctor said.

I wiggled about in the bed and then finally said, "Yep, nothing wrong with me." I smiled.

"Well, I'll see if I can let you out today." The doctor walked out.

I looked at Edward and said, "I might be out today!"

"That would be amazing." He grinned.

Charlie cleared his throat.

"What's going on between you two?" He raised an eyebrow at me then to Edward.

"Oh Charlie, can't you see it?" Alice gushed out and then sung "There in love!"

I didn't deny it, I looked at Edward and he smiled at me.

"Oh well, don't be too physical." He muttered, embarassed.

I looked at Edward and he looked at me. I felt the warm blood fill my cheeks,

"Oh Bells, you're too young!" He said.

"I'm 17 dad." I stated.

Charlie shook his head and then sighed.

"You're growing up too fast."

"I think it's been pretty slowly," I admitted.

The doctor then came back in and announced that I can go home today.

"We got school tomorrow," I sighed but then smiled as well.

"Bella, you shouldn't go to school," Edward said.

"I want to, everything is normal now." I smiled.
