A/N: First of all I want to thank you for reviews.

Expect the Unexpected
Chapter 10: Hoping (Two weeks later)
Previously:
Everyone is gathered outside of Bella's door. There isn't a dry eye and they are holding each other for support. I walk past them and into Bella's room.
"Bells," I whisper with tears rolling down my face. "You have to wake up."
These past two weeks have been hell. Bella still hasn't woke up despite our many attempts of begging, and I am genially worried that I will never see her awake again. No,I scold myself you can't think like that; she's going to be fine. We have a routine by now. In the morning I get up at about 8 am (since I have never really been a late sleeper) and I take the morning shift of sitting by Bella's bed and watching nurses flutter around the room every once and a while until about 1. When it is time for me to leave I kiss my baby sister's forehead and beg her one last time to wake up. Renee and Phil normally walk in right as I am leaving. They stay with her until 6, which is when Jacob comes, and he'll stay with her until visiting hours are over at 9. Charlie has gone back to Forks and is coming down on the weekends.
It's strange seeing my sister the way she is. It looks like she's asleep; most of her bruises are turning a weird yellow color so she is getting back to looking normal. On this particular morning I'm on my way to the hospital when I hear my phone ring. (A/N: Smother Me- The Used)
I found my place in the world
Could stare at your face for the rest of
my days
Now I can breathe, turn my insides out
and smother me
Warm and alive I'm all over you
Would you smother me?
I quickly recognize this as Rosalie's ring tone. I pick up my phone, flip it open, and put it to my ear.
"Hey baby." I say.
"Hey Emmett. Are you on your way to the hospital?"
"Yes." I answer quickly.
"Okay. I was just checking in on you." She tells me. This is why I love Rose. She's always calling for the smallest things because she knows it comforts me.
"I'm fine Rose. I love you." I say.
"I love you too." She said, "Has there been any change at all?"
"No but I'm hoping today is the day." I answer truthfully. In reality I have hoped everyday is the day.
"We all are. I miss you."
"I miss you too. I'll come home as soon as Bella's okay. I promise."
"Okay. I've got to go. Give her a kiss for me?" Rose asks,
"Will do. I love you."
"Love you too." I hung up the phone and soon the silence becomes overpowering. I reach up and grabbed a random CD out of my CD holder on my sun visor. I stick it in the slot and listen as the music fills the car.
Tired of always saying sorry
It's just another fighting story
And I can barely walk a straight line
I'm tired of learning life the hard way
I wish that being strong was easy
But I want it more this time
I was wrong. It's hard to say
At least I learned from my mistakes
I would change everything
Cause I can't wait for the day
When finally I can say and you'll believe it
I can change and now I mean it
And I will fight for a way
To make up for the mess that I've been leaving
A second chance is all that I'm needing and
Anything. I can do. Just to make it up to you
I would do anything
I'm dying to live again
I was such a fool to hurt you
Cause you're the one I always turn to
When I'm going out of my mind
I just bite the hand that feeds me
Instead of loving ones that need me
But I want it more this time
I was wrong. It's hard to say
At least I learn from my mistakes
I would change everything
Cause I can't wait for the day
When finally I can say and you'll believe it
I can change and now I mean it
And I will fight for a way
To make up for the mess that I've been leaving
A second chance is all that I'm needing and
Anything. I can do. Just to make it up to you
I would do anything
I'm dying to live again
I pray that you'll see what I've become
I would give it all away to right all the wrongs I have done
I don't wanna fall for the same mistakes again
What's it going to take for this misery to end?
Anything I can do. Just to make it up to you
I would change everything
Cause I can't wait for the day
When finally I can say and you'll believe it
I can change and now I mean it
And I will fight for a way
To make up for the mess that I've been leaving
A second chance is all that I'm needing and
Anything. I can do. Just to make it up to you
I would do anything
I'm dying to live again
I can't believe how this song portrays some of my emotions so very well. I can't wait for the day Bella wakes up, and I knew that she expects my apology. I will most definitely fight to make up for the mess I made, I would do anything for Bella to make it up to her, and lastly I'm dying to live again, life without worrying about Bella, or just live knowing that she's okay. I love her with all my heart she is my little sister after all. I would run to the ends of the Earth and back for her.
While I am deep in thought I pull up to the hospital. I walked in and pass the nurse, Becky, who I had come to know over the last few weeks, at the desk. I waved and keep on walking to Bella's room. Another Nurse, Macy, is checking on Bella's vitals.
"How is she today?"
"Her vitals are good. Just hope for the best." I nod as she walks out of the room. I take Bella's hand and start to remember back to that night. I can't believe I had been so stupid. I am pulled out of my thoughts when I heard my name being called.
"Emmett?" It was...
