A/N:

Okay, so even though I didn't get the amount of reviews I was hoping for Chapter 9, I decided that I will give you this one. I got a lot of reviews that misinterpreted what happened, so I am reiterating in this chapter.

In addition to, I would like to give a dedication to Ragdoll-Ranny. She left a review so awesome I almost cried. (no lie!!) And I would like to say that I have never inspired a person with my writing before and confused them so much that they started yelling while reading Breaking Dawn (lol). So a big thank you to her, and if I get anymore awesome reviews I will begin to post them up. :)

Anyways, this POV begins with Alice.

Enjoy!

APOV

I saw it.

I saw it happen and I was too late to stop it.

There, lying on the floor was Bella, bleeding and the left side of her face now deformed. I could hear her faint heart as it struggled to keep going with each and every beat. Every now and again I would hear it falter.

She sat there in the corner of her room surrounded by her own blood. The smell to me was the taste of the finest wine to a human.

I had many occurrences where I had to fight between lust and control. Control won every time. Now, there was a strong difference. Lust was winning and I was getting closer to the being that I promised I wouldn't be: my true self. The real meaning of being a vampire was sitting in front of my face, mocking me, and I had to fight against what I really was with what I was trying to be.

I closed my eyes and held my breath.

You can do this. You did it before and you can do it now, I mentally told myself.

I opened my eyes but held my breath, returning my gaze to a dismembered Bella.

She needed medical attention now. Her heart rate decreased and the beating was one every few seconds.

She's dying.

I began to panic. I couldn't carry her because the temptation would be too much and on top of that, it would take too long to get to the hospital on foot. I will not take her in my Porsche. As selfish as it sounds, that is an absolute hell to the no.

I reached in my pocket for my phone and quickly went to the contacts. I scrolled down to the number I needed and pressed the call button.

With each passing second I grew more and more nervous. Bella was dying and all hope relied on this phone call. I felt a rush of relief when I heard the phone pick up.

"Hey little sis! What's up?" Emmett's boisterous voice projected through the receiver.

"Emmett, come to Bella's house right away!!" I frantically spoke.

"Why what happened?" His playful tone turned serious.

"It's Edward. He...he hit Bella and she's lost a lot of blood. Her heart beat keeps faltering and getting slower and she's unconscious."

The rage in Emmett's voice became more apparent.

"That bastard! He knows how fragile she is! What the hell is wrong with him?"

"I don't know Emmett. We'll worry about that later, just hurry, please!!" I begged in desperation. This was not a time to be worried about Edward and his decisions. Bella was in need of intense medical care.

"I'm already on my way. Give me two minutes." The line went dead. I slid my phone closed and put it in my back pocket before redirecting my attention to Bella.

I walked over to Bella's lifeless body with precautious steps.

I should try to take her downstairs.

I bent down and picked her light body into my arms and accidentally took a breath simultaneously.

With one swift movement I put Bella back down and ran to the window and shoved it open, taking in the fresh air.

Her blood was sweet, luring, overpowering, and tempting. How the hell did Edward do this? How could he be by her everyday and not want to kill her? It had to be impossible.

Then I remembered. Bella was like this because of Edward.

I had lost all grips on my emotions and my worry slipped away, wrath quickly replacing it. Unnoticed, a growl slipped from my throat.

I looked at Bella.

Poor girl. Edward had done all this stuff for her to unwillingly take him back and he does this? He knew damn well how much she loved him. Love shouldn't hurt, especially in a relationship that is standing on glass; one wrong step and the entire floor below you can shatter.

Edward, he made the wrong step and now, Bella is shattered and fighting for her life.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be. No one was supposed to get hurt.

I heard tires crush the gravel in the driveway and automatically knew that Emmett was here.

I knew what I had to do but somehow, the temptation was too overpowering and the burning in my throat became unbearable. It was then, my vampire instincts kicked in.

I can't take it. I have to drink.

I leaped for Bella, no longer able to control myself. I placed my mouth on the already exposed skin of her neck and prepared myself to bite her, but was interrupted when I felt myself being flung across the room and into the desk placed next to the window. The desk disassembled itself and everything on it fell with me as I fell to the ground.

"Alice what the hell are you doing?" Emmett scowled.

I didn't know what to say. There were no words that could be placed with my actions. My head just shook as an automatic response and I washed over with disappointment and shame. I looked up to see Emmett with his eyes fixed on me and expectant.

"Emmett, I…I tried, but the temptation made me thirsty."

Emmett sighed out in disappointment.

"And so you're going to feed on your best friend?"

That hurt me. Bella was my best friend and the fact that I almost took advantage of her in the state she was in sickened me.

I let my gaze travel to the floor and pictured what would have happened if Emmett hadn't come.

"Damn! What the hell did he do to her?"

I looked up immediately and saw Emmett's shocked expression as he examined Bella's state.

"He hit her."

Emmett mumbled something under his breath before lifting Bella up bridal style and carrying her towards the door.

"Let's go, we have no time to waste."

He retreated down the stairs as I got up and followed down to the Jeep still running outside.

~*~*~

I sat in the passenger seat as Emmett raced to the hospital. I had already called Carlisle, and he said he would prepare the ER and have a staff ready by the time we arrived.

I turned in my seat and looked back at Bella. We wrapped her head in some of the sheets we found at the house, but it leaked through and is getting all over Emmett's leather seats. Her breathing seemed to have slowed even more from when we were at the house. Her heart was even worse. It did one pump every three seconds. That's really not good.

Just then, another thought crossed my mind. Where the hell is Edward? He should have been the main person trying to care for Bella but instead he just ran off. I took my phone out from my pocket and dialed his number.

"Who are you calling?" Emmett asked, taking his eyes off the road for a second to look at me.

"Edward."

I heard a growl emerge from his throat, confirming he was just as pissed as I was.

One ring.

Two rings.

Three rings.

He better pick up this phone. He knows damn well why I am calling.

Four rings.

"He's not answering," I said to Emmett.

Five rings.

What the hell?

Right when I was about to hang up, he answered.

"Hello, Alice," he spoke coolly.

Wait, why is he speaking like he didn't do anything? Rage built up inside me, but I had to stay calm, for Bella.

"You weren't going to answer you, ass?" Well, so much for trying to stay calm.

"I contemplated it," he responded and I was three seconds from telling Emmett to hurry up so we can find his ass.

"You're an ass!! You're all cool and collected when your girlfriend is lying unconscious in the back of Emmett's Jeep."

"She's not my girlfriend, Alice. I broke up with her." He still sounded calm at it was pissing me off. The worst part about it was that he knew what he was doing.

"You broke her alright!! Why the hell did you hit her?" I screamed through the receiver.

He didn't respond.

"Hello?? I know you can hear me!!"

"Alice, you know why I did it," he sighed.

Wait, I knew what he was talking about. There is no way in the world that he is talking about Tanya and her mother! That is not a good enough excuse.

"There is no reason why her face is smashed in Edward! And the reason you are insinuating does not count as valid."

Well, it doesn't, does it? I mean he is… oh shit! How could I have forgotten?

"But Al-"

"Don't start Edward," I interrupted, "You know what you did was wrong and there is no justifying it! In all seriousness, what had she'd done to deserve this?"

"Nothing," he mumbled.

"What?" I heard what he said. I just want to make sure he knows that Bella did absolutely nothing to deserve this.

"You know what I said Alice," He muttered.

"I need you to say it again. I need for you to hear yourself admit to what your actions are doing to other people."

"Nothing! She didn't do a damn thing! Are you happy now?" He yelled.

"No, I'm not. Bella is not okay, and until she is, I don't think I can forgive you."

"Alice," he started but I didn't want to hear it. As much as it hurt me to say that, it was the truth. I don't think I could forgive Edward unless Bella had it in her heart to forgive him. That's if she has the chance on getting through this.

"I don't want to hear this. Bella is more important to me than you are right now."

"I'm coming to the hospital," he said.

No, I will not allow him to. He doesn't deserve that right.

"No you're not. You wanted to leave her, leave her. She doesn't need you to do a hocus pocus act and appear and disappear when you want to. That is not how it will work and that is not how I will let it work."

"I…I don't know what to do Alice." He sounded frantic and desperate.

"I can't help you with your issues. Deal with them yourself. I've grown sick and tired of you and your problems. All they do is get worse each time."

"Alice..," he paused and took a deep breath, "I'm sorry."

I was happy that Edward was admitting to his mistakes but I was still angry at him. It would take a lot for me to forgive him.

Bright lights shown as Emmett pulled into the ER drop off area. Carlisle and his staff were rushing with a gurney towards the car.

"Don't tell me that. Tell Bella that. I got to go, bye."

I closed my phone before he could respond and got out the car and opened Bella's door. Emmett—already at my side—carefully lifted Bella from the car and onto the gurney. I heard gasps come from the medical staff and I looked to find Carlisle in a state of shock.

I reached my hand to his shoulder and he briefly looked at me with worried eyes before returning his attention to Bella. He called out the instructions and his team responded as they disappeared through the double doors of the hospital.

I must've stood there for a while after they left because Emmett came and put his arm around me.

"It'll be okay. She'll be okay."

I wasn't fooled by the uncertainty in his voice. He knew as well as I did that we didn't know whether or not Bella was going to be okay, and for the first time since I was changed, I was scared.

I was scared for me, for Emmett, for Edward, but most importantly, I was scared for Bella.

"I hope so," I whispered before being enveloped into a big grizzly hug.

"Me too," Emmett said worriedly.

We stayed in each other's arms for a few minutes before Emmett spoke again.

"I called Jasper. He's on his way. I am going back to the house to update Rose and keep her comfort."

I looked up at him. Rose?

He understood and chuckled, "Yeah, I am shocked too. Remember when Rosalie talked to Bella the last time you held her captive?"

I nodded.

"Well, Rosalie and Bella talked things out and now they understand each other."

Wow, so that's why she was upstairs for so long that night.

"I would've never thought.."

"I know. I wouldn't have thought either until Rose sat me down and told me about it. I'm proud of her, though," he smiled.

"Me too," I smiled back.

"Well, you should go inside just in case you hear anything. Jasper should be here in a couple."

"Okay."

We released each other and Emmett got into his Jeep and pulled off.

I watched until the darkness digested it, before turning to the double doors outside the waiting room.

I took a deep breath and walked into the beginning of what would be the longest wait of my life.

A/N:

Okay so let me clarify some questions that I think you are going to ask.

Edward, a while back, told Alice about his past about Alice. The only thing is that she doesn't know how deep the problem really is. What Edward told her barely scratched the surface of his issues.
Alice is only assuming what Edward DID tell her is relevant to him breaking up with Bella.

So yeah, it gets worse.

Review!!
