It's My Life
Chapter 7 – Thoughts
(EPOV)
While I was driving Bella home, the car was filled with awkward silence. I looked straight on the road while her eyes were on the window. I didn't know why I kissed her in the first place. I just got carried away with the situation. I knew I shouldn't have done that that was very wrong, it would just make things messy.
"Uh, Bella?" I broke the silence.
"What is it?" she asked, not looking at me. Her eyes were still focused on the window.
"We can bring your mother at the hospital for tests tomorrow, she can stay there while we're on the beach," I said.
"What time are we going to bring her to the hospital?" she asked, she was looking at me now. I tried to focus my eyes on the road.
"Before you go to class, don't worry about her. Mom and Dad will take care of her."
"Okay." She sighed.
From my peripheral I saw that she looked exhausted and sleepy.
The silence returned again but it comfortable this time.
I turned on the stereo a different song played, maybe Alice changed the cd. It was Cat and Mouse by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. It reminded me of Tanya and the things that we promised with each other.
I looked at Bella, and she was fast asleep, her head leaning on the window.
She promised me that we would get married once she achieved her dreams. She promised me that we'd have a perfect family and we'd grow old together. I couldn't believe that she chose her dreams over me. I knew that she loves me, too. I just had to get her back. When I do, things would go as planned.
We were already in front of their house, but she was still sleeping. This young girl looked too much stressed compared to the other girls her age. From looking at her, you'd know that she had big problems. She rarely smiled.
"Bella, wake up," I whispered softly.
"Edward," she mumbled, but she didn't open her eyes. Oh, she was sleep talking. Cute. But why did she say my name?
I decided to carry her inside their house. It was nine forty-five, and I hoped her mother was still awake. I carried her out of the car and walked to the door. I reached for the doorbell and pressed it three times.
Her mother who was in her pajamas, opened the door.
She looked at Bella. "What happened to her?"
"Mrs. Swan, Bella fell asleep in my car. Can I bring her to her room?" I asked politely.
"Go ahead," her mom said, opening the door wider so I could enter.
I brought Bella into her room and tucked her in.
…
My thoughts were on the things that happened today. First, Esme, she liked Bella so much. She never showed that much interest on Tanya. Then Alice, she'd never been that nice to Tanya. They rarely talked when she visited us. And then there was Rosalie. I saw the hate in her eyes when she looked at Bella. Maybe the fact that she was Tanya's best friend was one reason why she didn't like Bella.
I shoved away all those thoughts and focused back on driving.

I woke up and found myself in my room. I didn't know why I was here. I stood up from my bed and saw that I was still wearing the dress from last night. I looked at the clock and saw that it was five in the morning. I took a shower and wore a simple shirt and jeans. I made breakfast and then I saw mom walking down the stairs.
"Morning," I greeted.
"Good morning, Bella. If you're wondering how you get to bed, you're there because Edward tucked you in," she said.
I blushed. Edward carried me to my room without me realizing it? I must be really tired.
"Mom, you need to get ready, we are going to the hospital. Edward will be here in a few minutes."
"Why are we going there?" she asked with a puzzled look.
"For tests. Edward, will help us for your treatments. Don't worry about the money, they own the hospital."
"But Bella, I cannot accept such—"
I cut her sentence, "Please, Mom."
"Okay, I'll just eat and then get ready."
…
After a few moments, Mom was ready. She also packed some clothes with her because she'd be there for three days.
Edward came and he greeted Mom politely. He drove us to the hospital and Carlisle welcomed us warmly.
"Mom, I'll miss you." I gave her brief hug.
"I'll miss you too Bella, take care of yourself," she said in a concerned tone.
Edward drove me to school and he said that he'd meet me tomorrow for our trip to the beach.
