Look what he's done to you
It isn't fair
Your light was bright and new
But he didn't care
He took the heart of a little girl
And made it grow up too fast

Broken Girl by Matthew West

Chapter 11

Bella

"She's waking up!" My eyes slowly cracked open, I was immediately afraid that I would receive some more beating from Charlie. But, Edward's face was staring down at me when I opened my eyes. Everything came rushing back to me, everything that had happened last, mostly being pushing out of an open vehicle.

"Bella, honey?"

"Mom?" I croaked and tried to move but she put her hands on my chest and held me down.

"Don't move sweetie, you've got a lot of broken bones, you need to rest," she said and smiled. "I'm so glad to see you're okay. Honey, the police are after Charlie, they're confident that they'll catch him."

"How did you get here so fast?" I asked directing my attention to Edward. He looked behind him and smiled at Jessica, was everyone here?

"I drove 90 the whole way! I'm not driving for a while," Jess laughed and then got serious. "When he told me you were in trouble, I couldn't not bring him here."

"I still owe you one," he told her then sat down on the other side of my bed and held my hand. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Thank you," I said squeezing his hand. "I'm really tired."

"Okay, get some sleep hon," Renee said then motioned for everyone to leave so I could sleep. I held onto Edward's hand, I needed him near me right now.

"I'll stay," he reassured me and made himself comfortable in a chair next to my bed. Jessica and Renee walked out, I stared at him. He was so much more handsome than I remembered, I memorized every feature. "Rose had her baby. Esme and Carlisle were here but they had to go back to be with her."

"What was it?"

"A girl, they named her Marie," he said with a smile. Edward would be a great uncle, he would make an amazing father. "I can't wait to see her."

"You'll be a great uncle," I said mimicking my thoughts. "I am tired."

"Go to sleep, I'll be here when you wake up," Edward reassured me. It didn't take me long to fall asleep after that.

Edward

She was so beautiful, but so broken. Charlie had really done a number on her while he had her captive. I watched her sleep, it sounds creepy, but I couldn't help but just stare at her beautiful face. I was so in love with this woman, it was remarkable how much I loved her. Sure, she had been sent here to kill me, but she never would have done it. Her admitting it to me proved that she wouldn't hurt me.

"Excuse me, sir, visiting hours are over," a nurse said peeking her head through the door and glaring at me.

"I promised her I wouldn't leave." I stayed in my chair and eventually the nurse left, slightly irritated. A promise was a promise. "I love you Bells."

The next morning, I awoke to a very chipper Bella sitting in her bed eating breakfast. It was so nice to see her like this again, smiling and laughing. "What's up? Why the sudden change in mood?"

"They caught him," she said with a smile. "They caught that monster! He's never going to bug me again."

"That's great! How did they catch him so fast?"

"He ran out of gas and tried walking, but a police officer spotted him and recognized him from the description they called out for him. I don't care, he's behind bars and will get what he deserves." She took a drink of Orange Juice then smiled even wider. "Renee's getting complete custody of me. She's even offering to get my last name changed, I don't want any connection to that man."

"I don't blame you," I said and stretched out. This chair was small, I was confined to a small place to sleep. "Any word from the doctors?"

"I don't know, I doubt I'll get out of here soon. With the amount of broken bones that I have, they would be stupid to release me so soon."

Bella was right, she stayed in the hospital for two more months before they finally allowed her to go home. Renee was so worried on how she would pay for it, but I talked with Carlisle about their predicament. He pulled some strings and the hospital paid for everything that Bella needed while she was there. Renee drove Bella home and I rode with Jess to calm her down, she really was scared to drive again.

"It's so good to be home," Bella said when we all pulled up in front of Renee's house. I put my arm around her to support her.

"Welcome home ladies!" Phil said when we walked in. Jessica started bouncing up and down with excitement.

"Bella, we already set up your room! Alice came over and helped-"

"So don't be surprised if it's over the top," I laughed cutting Jessica off. Bella tried to laugh but grabbed her side. "No laughing. Doctor's orders."

"Yes sir," she said and Jessica led us to Bella's new room. It would be different not having her just down the hall. Just like I predicted, Bella's rooms was definitely over the top! Alice knew that Bella's favorite color was a light blue. The rooms walls were light blue, a sun mirror was hanging over the queen sized bed that had blue pillows and a white blanket. The curtains were light blue and there was a light blue chair sitting next to the window.

"I love it," Bella breathed. "Tell her thank you."

"Will do," I said putting her down on the bed and tucking her in. "Now get some rest, love."

"Yes sir," she smiled. Her smile was so beautiful, it was so good to see it again. I bent down and kissed her forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too," I said before I walked out of the house. This was what Bella had dreamt of, she dreamt of a normal life with her mom and sister. With Charlie behind bars, awaiting trial, she could finally have that, she just had to finish getting completely better.
