Chapter 10 Healing
E POV
I walked into the hospital all frantic, asking anyone if they new where Isabella Swan was, they couldn't tell me a damn thing.
Finally, someone told me to go to the emergency room, because that's probably where she was anyway.
Hey, can you blame a guy. You try having someone call you on your girlfriends' cell phone and it's not her, it's someone telling you that your girlfriend might not make it; you are going to ask anyone you see questions.
I finally get to the emergency room, and go up to the reception desk, I ask the girl where I can find Isabella Marie Swan. She asks me if I'm immediate family, I tell her – even though it's not true, yet – that I'm her fiancé just to be able to see her.
She tells me to go through the double doors on my right hand side, which somebody will buzz me in, then go to the nurses' station and tell them the patients' name, and they will tell me what her condition is and how she is doing.
I follow her instructions and do as she says.
The nurse I asked said that she was brought in from a severe car accident about twenty minutes ago that she blacked out, which could mean internal bleeding and brain damage, and that they will let me know something when they can.
So I tell them my name and that I'm her fiancé, and that I'll be in the waiting room when they need me.
I go out to the waiting room.
I was sitting there for about ten minute and still no news, when it dawns on me that I haven't called anyone yet, granted they can't do anything all the way in Forks, but they would want to know, and they should know.
I called Alice and Jasper first, they promised they would be on the next flight out, Rose and Emmett were next, and they were flying out on the next flight as well.
The last two were the hardest, I called Esme and Carlisle first, and then I was going to call Charlie.
Mom answered the phone on the third ring.
"Hello,"
I was obviously chocked up, "Mom,"
She could her that something was wrong in my voice. "Edward, honey, is something wrong?" she asked me.
"Mom, it Bella, she got into a car accident, they don't think she will make it. I can't lose her, I just found her." I was crying now.
She asked if I heard anything yet, I told her no. She also promised that her and Carlisle would be on the next flight out.
The phone call with Charlie went about the same was, he said he was catching the next flight out.
I sat there what seemed to be like forever, when finally someone called my name and asked me to come to the back.
I followed them and they led me to a doctor.
"Hi, you must be Ms. Swans' fiancé. I'm Dr. Duet," she told me as we shook hands.
"Now from the scans we took, it looks like there is no internal bleeding, or brain damage. There are however, broken bones. Her right leg has a minor fracture, her left arm is broken, and she may need surgery for that, we have to wait for another x-ray on that. And, she also had a few broken ribs, other that that, she had a few scrapes bruises and she might have a black eye or two. Now we have her in a medically induced come so she can heal some while we determine if she needs surgery on that arm, and to make sure that she won't have any swelling in the brain. Because, even though she has no brain damage doesn't mean that the brain can't swell, so we're going to keep a close eye on that. Now, I trust that you have called the rest of yours and her family."
"Yes, they will be out on the earliest flight that they can get, so they should be here tomorrow."
"Good, now she will be moved into CCU in the next ten minutes or sooner. Once she is settled in you can go up, and since you are her fiancé, I will allow you to sleep in her room as necessary if that's what you want. All I ask is that your phone is on silent and if you need to make or take a call you step out into the hallway where you will not disturb the patients'. The nurses up there should give you a few pillows and a couple of blankets to make your stay as comfortable as possible. And I will see you on my round in the morning."
After she walked off I waited for about fifteen minutes, when someone came and told me that she was all settled, and that she was in the last room in CCU, the one with the most privacy, they probably use that room for coma patients.
On they way to her room I picked up a mug and a huge teddy bear to make her feel better when she wakes up, filled my brand new mug with coffee.
I made my way up to her room, I got on the floor, went into CCU, asked where is the last room and they showed me.
It was definitely a huge room, with a nice king sized hospital bed, an extra bed for a guest, a nice TV, like a coma patient was going to watch TV, a closet and a dresser, a recline and some extra chairs for extra guests, and a nice big bathroom with a huge shower, they even have a little kitchen, equipped with a stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and a toaster, with plates and cup and utensils to boot. Along with cooking supplies, like pots and pans, and cooking utensils, too.
I went over to her bed and talked to her.
"Hey, beautiful. I love you. Now, you need to wake up, you have to come back to me, I mean whose gonna make my favorite desert, apple pie," I was teasing her, I bent down to give her a chase kiss, and her heart monitor went a little crazy.
"Come back to me, Bella, please," I told her while crying.
"Now, I'm going to go home and get some things, and then I will be right back, okay. I love you."
I told the nurses where I was going and that I will be right back, as I left.
I went home got the things that I was going to need, and grabbed some things I thought that Bella might need.
After I did that, I sat down and called everyone and updated them on her condition. They said that they would be there tomorrow.
I went back to the hospital and made my way up to her room.
I was walking toward her room when I see two police officers from my division, they turned and spotted me.
"Hey, Cullen, what are you doing here? Chief put you on this case, too."
"No, that's my girlfriend in there, now would you be so kind as to move out of my way."
They moved out of my way.
They stopped me before I closed the door. "Cullen, we have to get that statement. She told the paramedic on the scene that she knows who did it and she got a license plate number, we have to get that statement." They were pleading with me to understand.
"I understand, I do. But she's in a coma right now. They put her in a medically induced coma so that she can heal properly. I will call you and let you know when she is awake. If chief has a problem with that, then he can come talk to me personally, okay."
They said okay and walked away, I closed the door, I put everything I brought from home where they were supposed to go, put Bella's clothes and my clothes away, I went and put the toiletry things in the restroom.
It was now 7:30, so I went down to the cafeteria to get something to eat and went back up to the room.
I ate my food, threw the trash away and went to change into my pajamas.
I kissed Bella on the forehead and told her good-night and that I will see her in the morning. I settled into bed and turned on the TV; I watched it for about an hour and then turned it off and went to sleep.
AN: So what do you think?
Who do you think was the guy in the truck with Tanya that ran her over?
What's going to happen when the rest of the family get there?
When will she wake up?
Guess who gets to be a fictional doctor?!
As always, if you want more chapters, you HAVE to review.
