Bella POV
"Uhhh.." Good grief. Mom must be trying some new sort of relaxation technique. I thought as I slowly started waking up from the deepest sleep I'd been in for quite some time. I kept hearing this steady beeping sound and this familiar smell. What the heck was she doing?
I tried to will myself back to sleep, but after a few minutes of hearing the steady beep I knew it wasn't going to happen. God…I knew that smell….it was so….familiar. I just couldn't seem to place it. I know I'd smelled it before…. "Ok. Think Bella." I know you can figure this out.
I inhaled deeply. Still keeping my eyes closed as I tried to figure this out and it hit me! "Shit!"
I was in the hospital! That's what that smell was. My eyes flew open. Big mistake! "Oww." I tried to say this, but I couldn't talk. "What the..?" Oh, man what had I done this time. Mom's probably going insane. She hates the hospital almost as much as me.
"Bella? Bells? Can you hear me?"
Oh, No. That was not my mom's voice. That was Charlie's. I must have done something really big for him to come all the way out to Phoenix to see me.
"Bells, try to be calm." Charlie said. I could hear the beeping noise speeding up and realized that it was the sound of my heart rate.
"Dad?" I really tried to say this, but I couldn't.
Suddenly there was a bright light flashed into each of my eyes. I tried to look at whoever it was that was looking at me, but it was no use. As soon as they let go of my eyelids, I had no strength to open them back up.
"She seems to be waking up.."
"…….Permanent damage…."
"….No way to really tell at this point…."
"This will keep her comfortable……"
"….So sorry for your loss….."
What were they talking about? Who lost what? Why couldn't I remember what happened? Everything was getting really foggy. I'd have to ask mom about this all later. Right now I just needed to sleep.

Carlisle POV
My cell phone rang just as I was about to get up from my desk and leave.
Hmm. It was Edward. Wonder what he needed. He never called when I was at work unless it was important.
"Hello, Edward?"
"Carlisle! Are you still at the hospital?" He asked me in a rather frantic voice.
"Yes Edward, I am. Calm down, what's wrong?" I didn't like how he sounded. Edward was moody, yes, but in a depressed, lonely way. Never was he hysterical or dramatic. That was the girls and at times Emmett.
"Please, Please stay there. Alice had a vision and it wasn't good. I don't know if it's true, but we're on our way to the site now to find out. I don't think it can be true. Carlisle, I really don't think it will happen, but I need to warn you. God, this is harder than I thought it would be." He was rambling.
"Edward!" Please just tell me whatever it is that you need to tell me!" I was stern, without yelling.
I heard him take a deep breath. "There's going to be an accident. It's not good. It seems like…..someone…dies.." He sounded so distraught.
"Who Edward, just tell me son." I urged him on. I needed to know what was about to happen.
"Esme." He barely whispered her name.
I sank back down into my chair.
"What, are you sure, but how, when…?" This couldn't be true. We were vampires. It wasn't like a little car accident would do any real damage to us.
"Alice sees the car get flying thru the air and bursting into flames. Rosalie and Emmett are with her."
I looked up at the ceiling, closed my eyes and willed the tension in my neck to subside.
"Where." I needed to get there as soon as possible.
"On the main highway, about two miles north of town, any minute now." His voice was strained as he said this to me.
"I'm on my way with an ambulance. Edward, It's going to be ok." I tried to reassure him, but I didn't know for sure if I believed the words I spoke to him. I pushed the thought of anything happening to Esme to the back of my mind as I rushed out to the ambulance bay and told them that I had received a phone call about a car accident and that it might be my family involved. They had no problem with me going with them on the run.
A/N~ Thank you to those of you that have reviewed so far. I hope to get more reviews soon. I hope this will be an a little different from the rest of the stories out here, just because I'm going to try to show each characters POV. So if it seems like something is being repeated, check to see who's POV it's in.
I'm not going to be a review whore. I love the feedback and have all ready used some of the suggestions. I'll post chapters as I write them. I am a mother to a 2 and 10 year old, so it may take a few days or weeks, but I promise I'll post.
