I am so, so, so sorry I haven't updated in a while! My teachers kept piling so much work on me in preparation for midterms. But honestly, how do they expect us to be prepared for our tests, when they keep giving out so many new assignments that I barely have enough time to sleep? I honestly do not understand that logic. But anyway, the work seems to finally be slowing down so I thought I'd finally get this chapter done and up for you guys! Hope you like it. Review!
Bella's POV
Emmett, Alice, Jasper and Rosalie all came running into the room.
Alice was the first one to hug me.
"Oh my god Bella! I'm so happy you're alright!" She squealed.
"Thanks Alice, "I said laughing.
Next was Rose.
"If I ever see that disgusting boy again, I swear I will-"Rose started but was cut off by Emmett.
"No rose, I swear I will murder him."
"Well I'm helping," Rose said and then gave me a hug.
"I'm really glad you're okay Bella," Rose said smiling and then stepped aside so Emmett could tackle me.
"Aw Bells, I'm really happy you're okay and that I can still give you bear hugs!" Emmett said.
I laughed. "Me too guys."
Jasper came up next and gave me a short but sweet hug.
"Glad you're alright Bella," he said.
"Thanks Jazz," I said.
"So Bells, how you likin' this hell hole?" Emmett asked.
Rosalie slapped Emmett upside the head.
"OUCH! What was that for?" He asked.
"You don't ask someone in the hospital how they like being in the hospital, you ass!" Rosalie yelled.
I laughed. "It's okay Rose. I don't mind," I said and then directed my gaze to Emmet, "It's pretty crappy. This bed is pretty lumpy and the food they gave me sucked."
"Do you want me to sneak in some good food?" Alice asked excitedly.
I nodded. "That would be freakin' awesome."
"I'll bring you some breakfast tomorrow morning," she said smiling.
"Thanks," I said smiling back.
I looked around and realized Edward was missing.
"Hey guys, where did Edward go?" I asked.
I hadn't even realized he'd left the room. I was too wrapped up with everyone.
"Oh he'll be right back. He's just taking care of some things," Alice said smiling mischievously.
I glared at her. "What do you know that I don't?"
Alice looked torn. I could tell that she wanted to tell me but before she could say a word, Rosalie stepped in front of her.
"Nothing Bella. Edward just had some errands to run. He'll be back soon" Rosalie started, "So me and Alice were thinking about going on a shopping trip once you get out of here."
I could tell she was trying to change the subject. As much as I wanted to push it, I let it go. I didn't really feel like starting anything.
"I hate shopping," I said groaning.
"How can you even say that?!" Alice shrieked shocked.
"Is that even possible?" Rose asked shocked.
"Uh…yeah?" I said hesitantly.
"Don't worry; you won't hate shopping once Rose and I are done with you!" Alice squealed.
I rolled my eyes.
"I'd say run while you still can," Emmett started, "but since you literally can't run right now, I'm not gonna say it."
"Emmett, you just said it anyway, you idiot," Jasper said laughing.
Emmett looked confused and then realized Jasper was right. "Shit, never mind."
Everyone in the room burst out laughing.
I stopped suddenly when I felt the pain in my abdomen. I remembered that I had broken ribs and that laughing probably wasn't the best idea. Everyone in the room look worried but I just shook my head and said, "I'm just sore."
They all shot knowing glances at each other but let it go.
That was when two people I had never seen before walked in the room.
Edward's POV
As soon as I left Bella's room, I sprinted down the hallway in search of my father.
I knew he worked on this floor so he had to be around somewhere.
On my search, I took out my phone and called my mother.
After three short rings, she answered her phone.
"Hello?" Esme said.
"Hey mom, it's Edward."
"Oh hi sweetie, what are you up to?"
"Well mom, if you don't mind, could you come down to the hospital? I have someone I want you to meet," I said.
There was a slight pause before she answered,
"Alright, I'll be there soon," she said and then hung up.
I closed my phone and kept searching for my dad.
Not even a minute later I found him by the front desk talking to one of the other doctors about one of their patients.
"Dad?" I said.
Carlisle turned around and smiled.
"Hey son, what're you doing here?"
"Uh… well my friend got into an, uh, accident," I said hesitantly.
Carlisle looked at me suspiciously before answering,
"What's going on? Normally you're a very good liar but that was a horrible lie. What are you not telling me?" He asked.
I sighed.
"I'll tell you but I suggest you take a seat with me," I said.
Carlisle nodded and followed me into a secluded hallway with a bench. A minute later Esme arrived and I told her to sit too.
I explained Bella's story from the first time she told me about her life up until the events of today.
Carlisle looked worried and Esme was crying.
I also explained to them my plan. At first they were hesitant, but they eventually agreed.
They both decided that they should meet Bella first and then decide what to do from then on.
So I guided them down the hallways until we got to Bella's door.
I could hear her talking to the gang and they were all laughing about something that I must have missed.
They all got silent though when we walked in. Bella looked a little confused since she had never met Carlisle and Esme before.
"Bella, these are my parents," I said.
Esme walked over to Bella and said,
"Hello dear, I'm Esme. It's nice to finally meet you," She said.
Bella smiled politely and said,
""It's nice to finally meet you too."
Carlisle walked over and said,
"Hello Bella, I'm Carlisle."
"Hello," Bella said back.
After an awkward silence, I finally said,
"So Bella, Carlisle and Esme would like to discuss something with you."
She looked confused and asked, "Discuss what?"
Esme was the one to finally say it out loud,
"We would like to discuss whether or not you'd like to come live with us."
Please don't kill me for leaving you with another cliffhanger! I promise i'll have the next chapter up by tomorrow or friday at the latest depending on how soon I can actually get to a computer. The more reviews I get, the faster it'll be up! :)
