Chapter 10: Missing you!
Bella's Point of View
I felt the ground moving beneath me. I attempted to roll over to see where I was. When I tried to turn, several things happened at once. An excruciating pain shot down my arm, and throughout my ribcage, I was stopped by a hard board, and a hand pushed me back down to my original position on this bard board. What the hell was going on?
"Sorry, you have to stay still hun. It'll keep you hopefully in less pain." I heard an unfamiliar voice attempting to comfort me. Although I couldn't hear him very well over the blaring sirens.
"Sir, why am I here?" I asked not wanting to be rude, but seriously scared out of my mind. The last thing I remembered was arguing with Jacob in the forest. I needed to know what was wrong with me before I calmed down.
"Please call me Hank. I'm sorry but you are pretty beat up. A man called the paramedics from La Push. When we came we couldn't ask questions, you were in very bad shape. The man was called inside, and didn't come with us. We strapped you in, and loaded you up. We were gone from the house for not even a minute when you opened your eyes."
"Hank, just a question, can I take off this neck brace, It is giving me a headache." I asked. My neck was probably the only thing in the body that was not hurting.
"You may have a concussion, so you have to keep it on. I am sorry, the headache would be worse without it."
"Okay, I'll leave it on. What is broken?" I asked really not sure if I wanted to know the complete truth.
"You are in pretty rough shape. The radius and Ulna in your forearms are clearly snapped in half, and your right elbow joint tore." I winced, "You fractured four ribs. Nothing in you skull is broken, but you do have a concussion. Also you have a sprained ankle and both of your femurs in your legs are broken." I knew this was Jacob's fault. All the pain that I was in physically, as well as emotionally. Jacob is the reason that I am broken and not with Edward.
"Sweaty, do you know who did this to you?" Hank asked concern not only filling his words, but also showing across his face.
"Jacob Black." I said wanting him in trouble. I didn't care what happened to him, he was dead to me.
"Was there anyone else? You seem a little too hurt for one person."
" No just Jacob. I was going to see my boyfriend, and Jacob stopped me. He was jealous of Edward." I wanted to tell the truth, I was sick of lies. Jacob was going to pay for keeping me from Edward. "I told him where I was going and he attempted to try and stop me. I said that I loved Edward and not Jacob, and he didn't appreciate my decision. I struggled against him trying to seduce me, and then he got really mad, and threw me. I crashed into a . . . tree" I said, deciding not to say him shoulder. It sounded a little unreal. Then he threw me over his shoulder and started running. I must have passed out, because I don't remember anything until I woke up just now."
So Jacob Black did this to you, am I right?" I nodded, "The address we picked you up at was his house?"
"I assumer. I don't remember. You said that someone called him into the house? Why would he go, if he made such an effort to keep me away from Edward?" I asked a little suspicious of why he left.
"He seemed reluctant not to go. He seemed a little shocked when he turned around and saw the young man. When he asked him to come inside, he followed very willingly, and a little suspicious. Do you know anything about that?" Hank asked, wanting answers.
"What did this man look like?" I asked very suspicious. My worst fears were confirmed with his answer.
"Very Pale, bronze hair, deep circles under his eyes, and very handsome," Hank looked a little embarrassed calling another man handsome.
"Edward," I responded simple and quietly. A tear spilling over the surface, burning its way down my check. I would never see Jacob again. Edward knew that Jacob did this to me, and anyone that hurt me had to die. Jacob, would die like James died. Jacob would never survive Edward's wrath, he was lethal and livid!
They Fight
Paris Falls
Five Minutes Later
I had silently let tears fall down my face, grieving Jacob. Hank had just assumed that I was in pain, because he kept comforting me all the way to the hospital. He would say things like you won't be in pain much longer, and We are almost there.
We were in the hospital parking lot right now, and they were wheeling my stretcher in. They immediately sent me to X-rays.
Next thing I know, I felt casts on my arms and legs. I also felt bandages on my head, and around my ribs. I felt soft, cold hands shaking me, as I unwillingly opened my eyes. My daydream world was better than reality. When I opened my eyes, I saw a god above me. I gasped; boy was I wrong; reality was better.
"I didn't mean to disturb you, but you have to take your medication. You'll feel better," A not forgotten voice rang out. His velvet voice brought tears to my eyes. How much this was going to kill me if he left again. I decided to take advantage of what time I had with him. As long as I was tearing myself up, I might as well do it thoroughly.
"You didn't! It was a good way to come out of a daydream." I told him, smiling like a four year old that heard Christmas was coming a month early.
"I'm glad to see you." Edward grimaced at his words. "Of course I would much rather see you in better condition." He gestured at the bandages that were covering my body.
"I'm glad to see you no matter what the conditions." I stated, not even thinking about what I was going to say before I said it. Of course I blushed.
"How can you still want to see me after what I put you through? I ripped you apart, and you except me so quickly? I don't know how many times I can say sorry, but all of those times wouldn't be even nearly enough to make up for what I did to you. I will never be able to repay you for as long as I live, for all of eternity." Edward's voice filled with sorrow.
"Edward!" I whispered. I tried to reach up and wrap my arms around him. I needed to wipe the sad look off of his face, when something held me back. I saw tubes sticking out of my arms. I winced in pain from this little move.
"Please relax! I can't stand to see you in pain" Edward said pressing his lips to my forehead.
"How am I supposed to relax with you here? I can't be around someone I love a sleep, or relax!" I said. I must be out of it. He just came back, and I probably scared him off with my talk about love! I can't believe how much of an idiot I am! What was I thinking?
On the contrary, Edward's face broke into a smile. "I would leave, but I don't think that I could stand to be away from the one that I love, even if it means she won't relax. I don't think that I could ever leave you again."
"What did you say?!" I very nearly yelled as the heart monitor went wild!
"I love you Bella! I can't bring myself to leave you again. I am too selfish." Edward said calmly, as he looked at the heart monitor, clearly wanting it to slow down.
"Selfish? On the contrary! I think that it would be selfless for you to stay with me! Edward, I need you! I can't seem to be able to live my life without you! Promise me that you will never leave me again, if it is for my benefit. My life is so much better with you here! If you need to leave for yourself, then I won't stop you, but if you are leaving for me then the attempt is useless. I have no life without you!" I stopped myself before I could ramble on any longer.
"Bella, can't you see that my life was just as bad without yours! I was unable to live! I wouldn't hunt for long periods of time. The only time that I hunted was when my family physically forced me out of the house. I was miserable. My family hated being around me when I was so depressing. I did them a huge favor by leaving, especially Jasper. All of the grief coming off me was driving him insane. I was on my own, not able to be around anyone. I had given up on life. I was thinking about coming back, but I promised you. Then Alice called and said that you were just as miserable. I couldn't believe it. After all of those months, I had expected you to move on! Neither of us showed signs of moving on, so that is when I decided to call you. If you told me to stay away, that is what I would have done. I am so sorry! My plan backfired on me. You didn't move on not in the least bit" Edward told me, grief spread far and wide across his face. I needed to find a way to get rid of the pain.
"Edward I tried to move on, I just can't! If what you said was true, and I believe that it is, then we can't be apart! It isn't worth it for either of us! I know that you left for me, to keep me safe, but why? I was so happy, and before my birthday so were you. Why did you leave? I asked desperately wanting to know the answers.
"You're
human," Edward stated as though it was the simplest answer in the
world. "None of us are. I needed to give you the chance to live
your life as a human. No matter how much I wanted to keep you with
me. No matter how hard you tried to keep me, I had to make sure that
you had the option. I knew that you couldn't live like a human if
we were here. We had to leave, to give you the chance of a normal
human life. I wish that I had seen it before. We were too much in
love to try and stay apart from each other, it was unhealthy. I
couldn't force you to move on. Now that I am back, and you still
love me, I don't think that I could bring myself to leaving you
again. I've accepted that you haven't moved on, and I don't
think that I would be able to leave you again." As he said this a
smile broke across my face. "Bella, I will never forgive myself for
leaving you, but if you want me back, then I have a feeling that I
will oblige to your wishes."
"Please stop apologizing! I
can't stand to see you in pain! I love you too much to tolerate it!
If you tell me that you will not leave again, that will be enough of
an apology! There is no way that I can live without you!
"Bella it's not worth it to try and live without you if you refuse to live!" Edward said seriously, and if I was not mistaken, it sounded as if he was a little smug. "I couldn't bring myself to leave again if it is not what is best for you. I see that it is not! I wish that I was a was able to see it before," Edward said through his hands. He held his head down in apparent shame.
"Edward I understand why you did it! Don't tear yourself up over it!" I told him although the words were barely comprehensible as I stifled a yawn.
"Love, you have to sleep, you have had a very long day. I will be here when you wake up." Edward sweet voice was comforting.
"I'm smart enough not to fight you on this," I said through my smiling lips. "I'll go to sleep quietly, if you promise to answer my questions when I wake up."
"Deal"
It was comforting to know that he would be here in the morning. To be honest, I was exhausted and needed to sleep. I believed Edward's promise that he would stay, so I sank into the pillows, letting sleep overcome me, listening to Edward hum my not forgotten lullaby.
I was fully gone by the time Edward's lips hit my forehead.
I rewrote it, and I really hope that you like it better than the original! Please review, it makes my day!
