EPOV
I was standing in the middle of the parking lot, looking her drove away from me for another time. This couldn't happen again. I had to find her and tell her the truth.
And this was Rosalie's fault.
I sighed and got into the elevator. I pushed the button and leaned at the wall. I closed my eyes and all I could see was Bella upset and crying. And I didn't do anything because she didn't let me.
The ring of the elevator brought me to the present. I walked out and made my way to Emmett's office. I had to talk to Rosalie. But I had the wish to hit her for the way she talked to Bella.
When I reached Emmett's door I took a deep breath and got in. Of course Emmet was alone. She had already left. She didn't want to face the angry me. She knew how I was for 5 years and she thought that was Bella's fault. But it was mine.
"I can see that she left already. Why you didn't do anything to stop her Emmet?" I asked him irritated. It was not his fault but she was his wife. He could make her shut her mouth.
"I didn't see it coming Edward. I believed that she was going to be happy to meet her because she is a huge fan. But I didn't expect to be bitchy to Bella" he sighed looking sorry for his wife attitude.
"I know Emmet but you could do something. I made a progress with Bella and now Rosalie came to destroy everything I built. We are together Emmet and know I don't believe she will continue to want that." I sighed and sat at the couch.
Emmet stood up and made his way to the windows. He sighed heavily and turned to me.
"I will talk to her Edward. This was my fault and I am going to correct it. She will listen to me. Don't be sad bro everything is going to be okay after I talk to her. Please forgive me." He said and dropped his head.
"Bro come on you know this is not your fault. We both didn't know that things were going to be like that. But I don't believe that Bella will change her mind after you talk to her. I made many mistakes at the past and I continue to do them." I said closing my eyes and leaned my head at the couch.
We stayed like that a while when the phone startled us.
Emmet picked it up.
"Yes Jane he is here wait." He said.
"Edward you have a phone call from some Angela Weber" he said and handed me the phone.
"Hello?" I asked not knowing the person at the other end of the line. But this name I had heard it again and I couldn't remember where.
"Hello. Are you Edward Cullen?" a trembling female voice asked. I could tell that the woman was crying.
"Yes this is me. And who are you?" I answered.
"I am Angela Weber, Bella's best friend. I don't know if you remember me. We went to the same school." She said, sniffing.
Yes I could remember her. She was her best friend from the first day Bella moved to Forks.
"Yes Angela of course I remember you. Please tell me what I can do for you?" I asked her curious.
"Oh Edward, Bella called and told me that she was at your office and she sounded so upset…" her voice trailed off and I could hear her sobs. She was crying and I could understand that something was wrong.
"Please Angela tell me. Is something wrong?" I said in low voice.
Emmet turned his attention to me curious. He could see that I wasn't okay.
"While she was talking to me I heard an awful noise and a crush. I couldn't hear her anymore after that. Then the hospital called me and told me that Bella had been on an accident. Edward I know that something was going with the two of you and I thought before I go to the hospital to see her to call you. I have to go now." She said sniffing.
"Angela tell me please where did they take her?" I asked and grabbed a pen and wrote the name of the hospital.
"Thank you Angela. I am on my way there. Thank you again." I said and hung up.
And then I collapsed at the floor. I knelt down and put my head in my hands. Emmet instantly was by my side, trying to figure what was going on.
"She is hurt because of me" was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
BPOV
Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep
It was the only thing I could hear but I could feel the pain in my heart and strangely my head.
Why my head was hurting? My heart I could tell but my head?
Then the memories rushed through my pained head and I screamed. I wanted to open my eyes but they were to heavy and my voice. I screamed but only into my head. I could feel my mouth open but no voice was coming out of it.
Then I started to panic and I could hear the beeping increased his rhythm. Oh that beep was my heartbeat. That meant only one thing. That I was attached to a machine and that machine was only at the hospital. I tried to move my body but something stopped me.
"Doctor come the patient is awake." A female voice said.
Then I felt a warm hand on my forehead. I sighed and tried to open my eyes.
"Miss Swan can you hear me?" a male voice said and I could tell that is was the doctor's.
I searched his hand and when I caught it I squeezed it lightly.
"Okay now you can hear me please try to open your eyes dear. I want to take a look at your eyes." He said and I tried.
I slowly, very slowly opened my eyes and came in view with a blonde very beautiful man. I knew this man. But my head was hurting so much and I couldn't press my brain to cooperate.
He brought a penlight in front of my eyes to test them. He smiled and I could see that everything was okay with my eyes.
"Everything looking good. You only hit your head but not hard. I know that your head hurts but in a few days it will just fine." He said and smiled.
"Thank you doctor" I whispered.
"You're welcome Miss Swan. Now how about to let your friend to see you? She is outside waiting." He said and made his way to the door.
I closed my eyes and relaxed. I heard the door open and then a body was against mine. I opened my eyes to meet with Angela's red eyes from crying.
"Oh God Bella you are okay. I was so scared. Thank God you are okay." She said and hugged me tight.
"Dr. Cullen said you are fine and that they will let you soon. He want to see the results from your blob test and if everything is okay then you will go home." She said and sat at the chair beside me.
When she said the name it hit me. The doctor was Carlisle Cullen, Edward's father. My head started spinning and my heartbeat picked up.
Angela stood immediately and asked me what was wrong but I couldn't speak. All the memories came back to me.
Edward, the office, Rosalie, the fourth book, my happiness which I wanted to share it with Edward, him standing at the parking lot sad while I was driving off the lot.
I moaned from the pain on my head. Carlisle came then to see what was going on.
"Bella please tell me. Do you hurt somewhere?" he asked will he was examined me.
My breath was coming out with gasps and I couldn't control my self. I grabbed Carlisle's hand and squeezed it. He stopped and looked up at me.
"Carlisle" I said and faint.
EPOV
Emmet tried his best to keep me to my feet while I explained everything to him about the accident.
He offered to take me to the hospital to see Bella and I was really glad because I couldn't drive.
My Bella was in a car accident and the reason was me. I wasn't by her side when Rosalie told those things to her and she left disappointed and sad and devastated from the office. When we were passing the first light on the driveway what I saw caught my breath.
A black Audi TT was at the side of the road with it right side all destroyed. The driver airbag had worked but I could see the blood. God she was bleeding.
I gasped and that made Emmet looked me.
"Hold on bro. We are going to be there soon and I am sure she is okay. Dad is with her. I called him and he told me he will look after her." He said with a smile on his lips which never reached his eyes.
We arrived outside of the hospital and before the car stopped, I was out running to the ER looking for my Bella.
When I reached the reception I saw a brunet woman seating at the waiting room with her head in her hands, crying. She was looking like Bella and I thought that she might be Angela.
"Angela" I said as soon as I was near her.
Her head sot up and looked me with red puffy eyes.
"Yes?" she asked.
"I am Edward" I said to her.
"Oh Edward" she stood up and hugged me tight. She caught me by surprise because she and Bella had been thrown a lot from me. But now was a very important moment for both of us and all of this belonged to the past.
I hugged her back and let her cry at my chest. When she pulled back she apologized for her behavior.
"Its okay Angela I can understand how you feel and how you need a person in this very moment. Please tell me how hurt she is and what happened." I said to her taking a seat at the waiting room.
She told me about the phone call and how upset Bella was "and when I asked her what happen the only thing she said was that she was at your office and she saw Rosalie, but before she could continue I heard a loud crush and Bella moaned. Then I started screaming her name but I took no answer. I hung up and got out of the office. When I got into my car, the hospital called me and informed me what happened with her. So when I was coming here I thought it was the best idea to call you, because I could feel that something happened at the office." She said and leaned back at the chair.
"Thank you very much Angela for calling me. It was the best idea. And now that I have the opportunity I want to apologize to you for my behavior. Please forgive Angela." I pleaded her.
"I forgive you Edward, all of these belong to the past. Please tell me what Rosalie told to Bella that made her so upset." She said.
I told her about the whole conversation and how Bella reacted and how I tried to talk to her but she didn't let me.
"She can be so stubborn some times but I think she was right. I can tell that you have nothing to do with this, but please understand her. She had a rough time back there because of you and the others and I don't think she forget it. Which leading us to today and the way she reacted. She didn't let you speak because she knows how to defend herself but she sure wanting you to put Rosalie back to her place." She said and smiled at me.
"I know Angela but she didn't give me the time to speak. She was out of the office in seconds and the only thing I thought was the best was to catch her and talk to her. But she didn't let me and she closed herself from me. I don't know if you talked with her but yesterday we decided to be together." I said and put my head in my hands.
I felt Angela's little hand made contact with my back, and she tried to calm me.
Then Emmet came from down the hall, joking to our direction.
"Hey bro do you have any news?" he asked me and I lifted my head to see him.
"No, not yet. I found Angela here and she told me about the accident. Angela you remember my brother Emmet right?" I turned to her.
"Yes of course. Good to see you again Emmet." She said and extended her hand.
"Hey Angela, nice to see you too. So how is Bella?" he asked the most important thing that I had totally forgotten to ask.
"Your father is with her. She had a panic attack. Probably she remembered the argument and then the accident. That caused her heartbeat raced and her eyes to unfocussed. From the crush she hit her head but not bad. Your father told me that she could go home tonight."
"I want to see her now." I said and stood up when I felt a hand to pull me back.
"What?" I snapped.
"I don't think it's a good idea. She needs to rest and after the panic attack I don't think your father is going to let her leave tonight." Angela said and sat down again.
I sighed heavily and ran my hand threw my hair. I wanted to see her so much. I was so worried about her and I couldn't wait for my father to come and tell me how she is doing.
I leaned back my head and closed my eyes. The only thing I could do was to wait.
BPOV
"Please Bella breathe." Carlisle said and started pushing buttons to the machine that was connected with my heart.
I did as I told and tried to calm my self. This was a long day. I knew already I was fine but when what happened earlier came to my mind I went crazy.
"Okay I can tell you are calm now. Do you want to speak to me or to bring Angela again?" he asked.
"I think I can talk to you Dr. Cullen." I said.
"Okay. Could you tell me what you were doing before the car hit you?" he said and started writing something at his notebook.
"I was speaking at the phone with Angela. The green light had just light and I started driving and then the only thing I remember is a loud crush noise and me hitting my head at the steering wheel."
"The other driver was drunk. He didn't see the red light and passed it. You were very lucky that you had just started. The police want to know if you are going to press charges" He said to me.
"I am not hurt so I am not going to. When I can leave?" I asked him, anxious to get the hell out of there and go to my apartment.
"In one hour I will have the results of the blood testing. If everything is good then you can go. I will see you in one hour. Get some rest." He said and stood.
"Dr. Cullen thank you very much. It was nice to see you again after all these years" I smiled to him.
"It was nice to see too dear Bella and I can tell that I will see you more" he said and walked out of the room, leaving me puzzled behind.
I sighed and laid back, closing my eyes. I heard the door opened and closed. The footsteps stopped near my bed and I kept my eyes closed. I needed to rest and if I opened my eyes, I would start the conversation with Angela about what happened.
I felt a hand, not a hand the same size like mine, but a male hand. I fought to not open my eyes to see who was but I could tell. The electricity when our hands touched made my theory right. He was here to see me. He knew about the accident.
"God my love you are hurt. And it's my fault. I hate my self for doing that to you. I can't see you like that. My strong and confident Bella, laying on a bed, hurt. It fucking hurt me. I am so sorry for what Rosalie said and you know that I could defend you, but you didn't give me the choice. You are so stubborn sometimes. God when Angela told me you were in an accident, I lost it. Hopefully Emmet was there to keep me to my feet. I almost lost you today again baby but from now on this won't happen again. I can't stand it. Losing you will be the end of me. If you only knew. If only…" he trailed off and I could feel the pain on his words.
He was here, to see me. He though he lost me and went crazy. He was right, I didn't let him to defend me, instead I closed my self and ran away from him, like the words that Rosalie said was from his mouth. God I was an idiot. He was so right. I didn't let him say or do anything. I just ran. Ran away from everything. That was not me. I was strong and I had confidence like he said. He saw that 5 years ago and he saw it again when I saw him again. I had to stop pushing him away. I had to tell him my feelings for him. I had to give everything to him.
He sighed heavily, bringing out of my thoughts.
"Baby please come back to me when you wake up. Don't keep me away. Please." He said and squeezed my hand. "You can't imagine how long I waited for you. I …." and then the door opened and interrupted him from what was going to say.
What was going to say to me? Please leave him to finish his sentence.
"Son who are you?" Carlisle asked him.
"Now that I know she is fine, I am better. This is all my fault Dad." He sighed.
"No son it's not your fault. It's Rosalie's. I can't believe she said those things to her.
She didn't do anything to Rosalie. The exact opposite. Remember that day that she said that you were good with her? She is a very kind woman son. Don't do the same mistakes. I know how you feel for her but let her know too and the most important, explain to her your behavior. Why you were so mean with her and believe me, if she feels anything for you, she will understand." He said.
"I hope she will. Thank you Dad for your support. It's means a lot to me."
"Okay I am going to get the results to Bella. I will be right back and if she wakes please don't get her upset." He said and I heard the door shut.
He sighed again and I squeezed lightly his hand which was still linked with mine.
"Bella?" he whispered.
I squeezed again his hand wanted to hear something else, except my name.
"Love?" he whispered a hint of smile in his voice.
We have a winner!! Don't be mad at me but I wanted to hear it again.
I slowly opened my eyes and they made contact with his greens one.
"Hey" he smiled at me, stroking my hair slowly, like I was fragile.
"Hey" I smiled back.
"How are you feeling, love?" he asked his voice low.
"I am fine. A little tired I guess, but okay. Especially now" I smiled.
"Good to hear. But why now?" he teased me.
"Because you are here. And I can apologize to you for earlier."
"There is nothing to apologize. The one who will have to apologize will be me. I am so sorry love. I …" I stopped him, putting my finger on his lips.
"None of us did anything wrong. I am sorry for leaving you and not taking to you. I am so glad you are here now and that what's matter." I said and cupped his cheek.
He leaned into my touch and closed his eyes. He sighed and opened his eyes to look me.
"I can't lose you Bella." He whispered.
"Me too baby. I can't anymore" I whispered back.
He leaned slowly and brushed his lips to mine. I sighed and ran my fingers threw his hair. He pressed his lips more to mine and let my self lost into this kiss.
Then we hear a throat cleared and he pulled back. At the door was standing his father.
"Sorry to interrupt but I have the results. Bella everything is perfect. You are very healthy. So you can go home now. But you have to rest." He said and I blushed.
"Thank you Dr. Cullen." I said in low voice.
"You are welcome. I am going to prepare the papers so you can sing them and then you are free to go. Edward please make sure she is going to rest and be okay, alright son?" he smirked to him.
"Of course Dad. I'll see on Sunday. Thank you." He grinned.
"See you on Sunday son and be careful. Nice to see you again Bella." He said and got out of the room.
"Where is Angela?" I asked him.
"She is outside. She let me take my time with you. Do you want to bring her?" he asked me.
"Yes I want to see her and then send her home. Ben will be worried and I know she is tired and I don't want to keep her here. I will call a cab to go home."
"Okay I'll tell her to come in but I will take you home. I won't let you take a cab. For God sake Bella you were in an accident. And don't argue with me, I am not stepping back. I will take care of you. Okay?" he said waiting for my answer.
I just nodded. I didn't want to argue with him.
He left the room and after a minute Angela came. I told her to go home and thanked her for being here for me and calling Edward. I told her that everything was okay between us and after she was sure I would go home safe, she left.
I singed the papers and Edward led us to his car. He told me that Emmet brought him to the hospital because he didn't trust his self, drive.
When we reached my apartment, I was feeling exhausted.
He picked me up bridal stile and made his way to the elevator. When we stepped inside I tried to get down.
"What are you doing?" he asked me, looking down.
"I can stand at my own feet and my apartment is at the fifteenth floor. Your hands are going to fall If you continue to keep it like that." I said to him, trying to leave from his embrace.
"I don't care and please you are not weight that much. I can tell you that you are like a feather to me." He smirked.
"Yeah, sure" I said ironically.
"Yes sure. I don't lie." He said and leaned down to kiss my forehead. "Please love, don't argue with me. I want to take care of you. Please let me in." he pleaded.
"Okay but you don't have to spoil me. I don't like those things. And I won't put a wall anymore between us. I want to be honest with you. To say what I am thinking and I want you to do the same." I said and leaned my head against his chest.
"Yes love no more hiding. I will explain everything to you, but not today. You need to rest and I don't want you to get upset. Okay?" he asked and we got out of the elevator.
"Yes. I agree with you. But you promise to tell me okay?" I pleaded.
"Yes baby I promise." He said and kissed my forehead.
He put me on my feet and kept one hand on my waist to support me while I was unlocked the door. I opened it and we stepped in. I threw my keys at the counter and Edward closed the door behind him.
"Do you want something to drink?" I asked him while I was trying to get ride of my shoes.
"Yes some water would be nice" he said and knelt down to help me.
"Thanks" I whispered blushing.
"You are welcome love" he said and stood up after he finished.
I made my way to the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the fridge. I purred it in a glass and gave it to Edward.
"Make your self at home. I am going to take a shower. It won't take long." I said and gave him a quick kiss at his lips.
"Okay I will be here at the couch. If you need anything tell me." He said and made his way to the couch.
I got into my room and stripped off my clothes. I was exhausted and I could smell the hospital on my skin. I sighed and got into the shower. I let my self relax under the hot water and I thanked God I was okay. After ten minutes I got out and dried my self.
I dressed in sweatpants and a red tank top and made my way to the living room.
What I saw caught my breath in my throat.
Edward was laying at his back with one hand under his head and his eyes closed, breathing steady and slow.
I made my way to him and I pressed one kiss on his forehead. He stirred and opened his eyes.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey" he smiled.
"You fell asleep when I was in the shower and I didn't want to wake you but I don't think that the couch it's the most comfortable place to sleep." I smiled down at him.
"Sorry love. I am a little tired as it seems. I will go and let you rest. Okay?" he said and stood up.
The disappointment was drawn on my face and I was sure that he could see it.
"Hey, what make you sad?" he asked and leaned closer to me, cupping my face in his hands.
"I don't want you to leave" I admitted in low voice.
"Me nether love but you have to rest." He said and kissed me softly on my lips.
"Stay" I whispered closing my eyes.
"Do you want me to stay?" he asked.
"Yes" I replied breathlessly.
"Okay I'll stay." He said and hugged me tight.
"Come let's go to get you to bed" he said and picked me up. I rested my head at his shoulder and closed my eyes. That moment was me and he and no one else. Just Edward and Bella.
He put me slowly to the bed and I stretched. With that action my tank top ridden up a little, showing my right hipbone.
"Hey what's that?" Edward asked and leaned closer to my hipbone.
I blushed and closed my eyes. He saw it.
"It's that what I think it is?" he asked again trying to take down a little my sweatpants to revel my tattoo words.
"Yes. It is." I whispered, embarrassed.
"What it says?" he asked curious.
"Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget." I whispered.
"It's very nice and elegant, like you. When did you get it?" he asked.
"When I came here. These words are my life. That made me change. It gave strength. I will always remember and I will never forget." I said in low voice.
"How long it is? Where it stops?" he asked in husky voice, trailing his fingertips over it.
"Not long. But I won't tell you. You have to find out on your own." I said, blushing and brought him down beside me.
"Sleep with me tonight. I don't want to be alone and I need you to hold me." I told him and hold him tighter.
"Shh, baby I am here. I won't leave. I'll stay. Come on get under the covers." He said and we both stood up and got under the covers.
He came behind me and spooned me, bringing me as much as close he could to him. His chest was pressing against my back and I could feel his hot breath on my neck.
"Sleep baby. Tomorrow will be a new day. Sweet dreams my love" he said and kissed my hair.
"Goodnight handsome." I said and closed my eyes.
I let sleep took me, happier than ever. I had the man I loved with me, in this very bed, holding me and caring about me.
That's all I could ask for now…..
