A/N Sorry this chapter took so long. I was busy.
Bella point of view
I could see bright light through my eyelids I twitched a bit and the light faded a little.
I open my eyes only to see Edwards looming over me. What the hell? I thought
He opened his mouth, it moved but no words came out. Well that I could hear anyway. I gave him a confused look. He opened his mouth again but still nothing. when I still looked confused he walked out of the room.
He came back a few seconds later, with Carlisle. (Remember she's already known them for years.) I smiled at him. He smiled back, a sad smile?
he took a piece of paper out of his pocket after … mouthing? to Edward. after he scrawled on the paper he gave it to me.
Carlisle -
Hello Bella,
I'm sorry to tell you this but when you passed out you hit your head very hard. not only do you have a concussion but your ear drums shattered. your hearing is gone. there is nothing we can do to help.
I just now realize how quiet it is. Absolute silence. I was now in a panic what about Claire? how was I to communicate with her. how could I raise a child when I was deaf.
Bella-
My hearing is gone. well what am I going to do Carlisle?What about Claire?
Edward-
were trying to work that out. There has to be something we CAN do. I care about what happens we all do.
Bella-
Edward, why DO you care?
Edward-
Why would I not?
Bella-
You didn't seem to care about me much when you were flirting with Angela .
Anger flared in me. how could he care about me and Claire when he was going after my friends?
Edward-
Bella that wasn't what you thought it was. (classic line but in this case true. I know this probably doesn't sound like Ben but stay with me here.) Ben asked me to do that. He was having some trust issues and I owed him a favor
I'll have to ask Ben about that later.
Bella-
Oh alright then. When can I get out a here.
Carlisle -
You can leave now if you'd like I know that your safe with the family.
I nodded. This is going to be brutal. No hearing! Seriously. The author of this story is mean! ( well now Bella hates me. She'll hate me more later I promise. ;)
Alice walked into the room. She looked chipper as always. I nodded in her direction. She moved her mouth. Still no words. Oh wait that's right I can't hear. She was saying something to Edward. He nodded. Alice grabbed my hand and hoisted me out of the hospital bed. And of course me being… well… me tripped. Edward caught me and stood me up. When I wobbled he grabbed my hand and …
"yea I know…. Wow…. Look at…. What's …." all these noises came into my head it hurt really badly. Could it have been thoughts or talking they all sounded incomplete. I fell to the ground Edward fell with me. We both covered our ears. He looked shocked. As did I. we looked into each others eyes. Putting up our hands in the same moment.
Having the same thought. It could happen again. Our hands touched and being more prepared this time I could handle it all. 'wow' I heard echo through my head. It was my thought and Edwards! 'Edward are you hearing what I am?' I asked.
'Yes' he said in amazement (And now it begins.)
A/N I know, I know its short. But there's kind of a lot of info in there. Thanx 2 BlueSea14 for letting me use that idea of the hearing between minds thingy. You rock. So do all of you. Thanx 4 the reviews. You were one away from getting this chapter weeks ago. Such a pity. ( author laughs maniacally) I know I'm wired. Now ignore me and drag you curser down to the green button. REVIEW and vote on my poll which will be coming down soon *hint, hint*
*highlight, highlight, highlight.*
