Chapter X: Hopes and Dreams

B P.O.V

1 week after assault

"Bella, you are the strongest person I know. You make the best out of any situation and brighten up my day. You will find a boy one of theses days that will brighten up yours and can make you smile at any moment. He will love you in return as much as you need to be loved. I'm always with you no matter where you go, right here in your heart. I love you."

Memories of my mothers final words echoed in my dreams. My memories were yelling at me to move, to breathe, to be loved and give love in return. This darkness had to be over I had to wake up. I had to be strong like my mother thought I was. I needed to survive so I could be with Edward.

Light slowly started to appear through the darkness. Everything was blurry at first. I was in a white room and a machine was beeping. My body was very sore and I could see two heads starring at the ground. There was something stopping me from talking.

" Oh my god, go get the doctors! Bella, don't try to talk they'll remove the tube in a little bit. You have been out for a week. You've gone through a lot of surgery, but everything's going to be fine." Alice was holding my hand. The warmth of a persons touch made me feel relieved. The one person I wanted to touch wasn't here though. Where was Edward?

"Okay lets get that out and prop you up," The doctor walked into the room. He removed everything that needed to be.

"Bella, I need to exam you first. The police have a lot of questions they would like to ask you."

The doctor finished examining my body and the police came in. I explained to them the attack and what I could remember of it. I'm sure Edward has told them the same thing. Where was he? They had left me to rest. Now it was just me and Alice. Jasper had run off to get Rose and Emmet.

"Where's Edward?"

"He's fine don't worry he's on his way right now. Were trying to get you two in one room. That way we all don't have to keep running back and forth. Also, you guys gets to see each other."

I was so reassured when she clarified he was still alive. My heart raced with happiness. Tears escaped there wasteland.

"Calm down Bella, you need to take it easy. What's wrong?"

"I'm just so happy he's not dead. I thought I was going to lose him." my face tightened as I though of the other person that was hurt.

"What happened to Charlie?"

"I'm not sure I should be the person to tell what happened. Just wait for Edward."

E P.O.V

It had been days since I saw Bella's beautiful brown eyes. I was so excited to hear she had been awake. She had to be afraid when she woke up. I quickly wheeled myself down her hall racing to see her. When I wheeled myself in we glared into each others eyes. It felt like an eternity before we had finally broken are stare.

"Bella, how are you felling love?" she didn't answer. Tears started to stream down her face and she grabbed me and held me in a deep embrace.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just so happy your not dead. I feared the worst when I woke up and you weren't there."

"Shhh… I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. Everything's alright its going to be okay." she nodded and we stayed in each other arms until she stopped crying.

"What happened to Charlie?"

"Well, he was flat lined for awhile. They brought him back and he's in critical condition. I punctured his lung when I stabbed him so its hard for him to talk. When he gets better he's to be escorted to the prison infirmary."

"Is it finally over?" she asked me.

"Yes my love, you can finally have peace in your life. I love you. Happy Birthday."

"I love you too. Peace sounds good right now. Thank you, for remembering." I climbed into her bed and held here and we fell asleep.

Peace at last. Edward and I fell asleep and I dreamed of our future. I prayed that this new life would last for a long time and we would never hear from Charlie again. My dreams filled with a weddings and children. Our family big with all of us together as a big family. Alice, Rose, Emmett and Jasper were part of that family I dreamed of.

I awoke in the hospital bed alone and sad that he had gone. Suddenly the lights went off and a cake with candles on it were being rolled in. They all started to sing happy birthday. I started to cry from happiness. That was the first time I did from that emotion.

"Happy Birthday Bella!" they all rejoiced.

"Thank you guys you didn't have to. You are the best friends anyone could ever ask for."

"We did have to because you're the greatest person we could have ever met." Alice said relieving me that they felt the same way.

"Now make a wish so we can dig in and celebrate" Emmett was right I did have to make a wish.

I leaned over and made my wish and blew them out. I really hoped that this wish would come true.
