BPOV
There was a mellow ringing somewhere in the distance. My mind refused to comprehend where from and I was satisfied to leave it at that. Unconsciousness was gently washing me back into a dream state when someone shifted from the opposite side of the room, dragging me back into painful reality. I rubbed my eyes drowsily, opening them a crack to the dark. "Go back to sleep Bella," whispered a voice. Though unexpected, the person reassured me. I nodded, pointless to anyone because of the lack of light, and shut my eyes once more. I heard footsteps pad along the hall floor until the ringing ceased.
"Hello?" It dawned on me who's voice it was, where I was lying and what I was doing here. I rolled onto my side and ashamedly, listened. "Everyone's asleep. She needs a good night's rest … No …" There was a prolonged silence. I could hear the voice on the other end of the line was panicked. In the dim light, I could make out Jacob's silhouette. His arm was clasped around the back of his neck, the phone in his other hand. "I understand … And he's stable?" Another pause. "Of course, I'll get her right away."
A sense of urgency twisted my stomach. Something wasn't right. I knew that phone call was for me.
Jacob strode back into the room and straight over to me. "Bells, I need you to get up."
I didn't need to be told twice. Panic laced my voice as I sat upright. "What happened?"
He helped me to my feet as I darted to the landline. I picked up the receiver, my hand shaking. "Hello?"
"Bella," the voice on the other line sounded agitated but hinting relief. Alice. "I'm so glad I found you. I need you to come to the hospital straight away."
My heart stopped beating and my throat became scratchy.
"Who's hurt?" I managed to whisper.
All I can say is: don't eat me!
