BPOV
Hot and heavy. Edward's lips are on mine. I'm perched up on the bathroom vanity. I moan into his mouth.
He had only just pulled up my shirt when a knock on the door stopped us.
"Seriously," he groans.
"Edward," Emmett booms from the other side, "normally I'd leave you both to your thing. Bella's phone is going nuts. Alice answered and it's about Jye."
With concern I pull down my shirt, covering my exposed chest. In my panic I notice Edward's eyes flood with disappointment.
"Jye," I freak.
"Hey it's ok. I'm here. We can go get him. I didn't drink anything," he says trying to calm me.
I don't hear. I just do. Edward attempts to grab me by the shoulders. But I slip from his reach.
Racing to the door I throw it open barging past Emmett. Alice holds out the phone to me the second I see her.
"He's hurt. They took him to the ER. He fell off the bunk bed," she explains.
I place the phone to my ear. Alice has her arm around me while I talk.
"Hello?" I demand.
"Bella. It's me, Susie. You might want to get here as quick as you can. He's flipping out wanting you! They have given him stitches because he cut his head. He's upset ," she says panicked.
"Well no shit!" I say, "how the heck did that happen?"
"I'm sorry. They were supposed to be sleeping. He fell from the bunk bed," she says sighing sadly.
"I'll be there in ten minutes," I snap hanging up.
Edward holds his keys and my bag. He takes my hand in his, gently running his thumb over the back of my hand.
"What a dumb bitch," I growl, "how hard is it!"
"Can I come?" Alice asks.
"Come later," Edward shakes his head, "visiting hours are over."
"You work there! As if you can't sneak me in!" Alice yells at him.
"I don't have time to listen to this. I need to go," I snap at them stressed.
"Alice. Let's just stay here? We can go up and see them tomorrow morning first thing! Call us as soon as you see him so we know he is okay," Jasper says rubbing Alice's back.
Alice relaxes under Jasper's touch but still looks as worried as I am.
Edward puts his arm around me ushering me out. His driving to the hospital is as hectic as I needed it to be. When we arrive he greets a colleague and I hear Jye's name. I watch them but don't hear the conversation correctly. I let him pull me until eventually I wind up in a room with Jye. He lies on a bed asleep a bandage around his head. My baby!
"What happened! He looks like a game of operation gone wrong!" I cry.
Edward picks up a clipboard at the foot of his bed.
"Where's the woman that brought him in?" He wonders out loud.
I don't answer sitting on the bed beside Jye. I stroke his cheek, checking him over. As Edward begins to speak again Susan appears.
"Bella. You're here," she sighs holding a coffee.
"What happened?" I demand quietly.
"They were supposed to be asleep. I believe my son may have pushed him. I'm terribly sorry Bella. He's at home and he's going to be punished," she says.
"Kids are kids. Let's just be happy he isn't hurt worse. His vitals are okay and the injury isn't long lasting. They stitched him up and there's pain relief in his drip," Edward says walking over to look at the small monitor hooked up to Jye.
"I need to head home. I'm terribly sorry again," Susan says to me, "he is so well behaved. This was just an awful end to a fun day."
Susan leaves after that. Edward ushers her out thanking her. The look in my eyes probably terrified them both. Edward returns to my side, kissing my head.
"He's fine. Just too adventurous for his own good," Edward says.
"I just was so worried," I sigh, "maybe I overreacted."
"No you didn't," Edward shakes his head, "you were concerned. You were being the amazing sister you are. I wish I had one as cool as you."
"You do," I smile slightly, "Alice?"
"But I'm older," he shakes his head smiling, "it's different. I broke my arm once and when she saw me after it she asked to sign it. She drew a penis."
"She still loves you," I say smirking, "she thinks you're amazing."
"I know. I love her too. I just think over the past year or so we've not been on the same page," he says.
"So try," I say softly, "just talk to her. Your sibling is so important. Sometimes they are all you have. I treasure mine."
"I will. I promise," he smiles taking my hand, "I'll go get you something to eat and drink. And see where the doctor is up to. His board says he isn't in too much strife. It's just pain. It said he was complaining about his arm but it must be just sprained because it isn't bandaged."
I watch him lean over the bed and lift up Jye's arm further from us. He inspects it carefully.
"Nasty bruise," he mutters, "thankfully for him I know where the lollipops are stashed."
Unable to help myself I giggle a little. How'd someone so perfect step into my life? He was perfect. Watching him doctor like this was so attractive.
"Can his sister have a cherry one?" I ask.
"Yuck. No way. That's the worst flavour," he scrunches his nose, "I'll get you cherry but you'll need to also have strawberry. To take the taste away."
Edward leaves the room after a kiss to my cheek. The closure of the door stirs my baby brother. He is so tiny in the hospital bed.
"Bewa?" He asks groggy.
"Hey mister! What on earth have you gotten yourself into," I say warmly sitting in the chair beside him.
I lean forward resting my forearms on the bed. He smiles at me a little.
"Why didn't you listen to Johnny's mummy? You were asked to go to sleep," I say.
"George said there was a huge pider… and we got on the top bunk so it wouldn't climb up. We didn't want to get bites. But Johnny accidentally bumped me and I fell," he explains.
"She thinks he pushed you. Did he?" I ask.
"No," he answers honestly.
"I'll call her tomorrow," I sigh, "just try close your eyes again. You had to be bandaged up because you hurt your head."
"There was blood," he nods slightly.
"Did you get lots of candy?" I ask smiling wanting to change his mind.
"Yeah. I hope Johnny doesn't eat it," he groans.
"I'll buy you more," I smile, "are you warm?"
"Stop worrying," he says, "is Edward doctoring? It's not my heart. Maybe he can come visit me?"
"He isn't working but he's here. He went to go and find us lollipops," I smile.
"I hope he gets strawberry," he returns my smile.
"You really like him, huh?" I ask.
"He's cool. He makes you smile more," he says, "I like that."
"I love you," I lean down to kiss his cheek.
"I love you," he responds reaching up to take my hand on the bed, "now can you get Edward?"
"Thanks," I narrow my eyes at him, "I'm here too you know."
"I know. But I want to see Edward," he rolls his eyes, "he's my friend."
I walk to the door and push it open to poke my head out. Edward stands in the hallway talking to a nurse. However I am noticed quickly. With a nod to the nurse he moves toward me smiling at me. My heart flutters.
"Hey," he says carefully, "you okay? Is he awake?"
"He wants you," I say motioning to Jye with my head.
When Jye sees Edward his face lights up. Edward walks to the bed sitting on it looking down at him. The size different is adorable.
"You feeling okay?" He asks.
"Yep! I had heaps of blood. It was like Halloween crazy," Jye says as if proud.
"You had stitches," Edward says, "you might have a little bit of a headache. But you're going to be all okay."
"Will it be a cool scar?" He asks.
"Possibly," Edward nods.
Jye notices the drip in his arm and begins to panic. Expert Edward intervenes perfectly.
"That is your medicine. It's not hurting you," he says calmingly.
"It's a needle," Jye says.
"It needs to stay in for a little while," Edward nods, "we can take it out soon."
"How long does he need to be in here?" I ask.
"It's monitoring at the moment. So probably until the morning," he answers, "I'll go get you something more comfortable from yours if you want? Although you do make a beautiful pirate. You stay here."
"Are you sure?" I ask amazed at his compassion.
"Absolutely! I'll be back shortly," he says stands taking his keys from his pocket.
"My house key is in my purse in my car," I say.
"No worries. Oh," he says.
He throws a handful of lollipops onto the bed. I smile rolling my eyes.
"Don't eat them all," he pokes Jye's nose.
Jye hands one to me to open for him immediately. Not even asking.
"Edward? Can you get my bear?" Jye asks.
"Of course I can," Edward smiles ruffling Jye's hair carefully.
"Oh and my train," he gasps.
"We're not moving in," I smile at Jye.
Leaning down Edward kisses me before leaving me with Jye feeling completely astonished. I'm the luckiest girl ever.
"Can he be my boyfriend too?" Jye asks me.
"You'll need to ask him," I laugh.
Thanks
