A Leaf In A Storm

Chapter 11

[Bella]

I slowly opened my eyes only to be blinded by the bright light overhead. It took me a few times of opening and shutting my eyes before I adjusted to the light.

"About time you wake up. You were starting to scare me." My dad's gruff voice sounded through the room. You could tell he had been crying by the red marks across his face. "I called your mom but you know her... Too busy. Anyway, I have to go fill out some paperwork. Be back quickly Bells." He kissed my cheek and walked out of the room. Before the door could close, Carlisle walked in with his clipboard.

"How do you feel Bella?" He asked studying me carefully.

"Where's Alice?" I asked, my voice coming out raspy and barely audible, but I know he heard me.

"She had to leave so Charlie could be with you first. She may come back in after were done." He smiled kindly and I nodded my head.

"Now, how do you feel?" He questioned.

"Like I got hit by a car. I really want to get out of this place though." My voice wasn't improving any.

"I'm sorry, but were keeping you here again to keep an eye on you. Your injuries were pretty bad."

"How bad? I don't feel much pain." It was true. I wasn't in that much pain. Matter of fact, I wasn't hurting that much at all. I just wanted Alice.

"That's because of the morphine. You have two broken ribs, you punctured your spleen, fractured your ankle and have seven stitches on your shoulder. We also had to dislodge many shards of glass out of your skin." My eyes were big as saucers once he finished talking. I looked down at my foot to see a cast. Damn it.

"Wow.." I didn't need to ask if Jake was okay. I knew he was. My dad came back in.

"Bells, there making me leave because its pass visiting hours, but I promise I'll be to get you tomorrow." He looked so concern and I felt bad for putting him ttrough this. But really.. I didn't put him through this. Some idiot did.

"The other guy?" I asked. My dad tensed his jaw at either the mention of the other guy or because the way I sounded. Maybe both.

"In prison." He said and then walked next to me to kiss my forehead.

"Bye doctor." He muttered walking out the room.

"Get some rest Bella." Carlisle murmured.

"But I want Alice." I whined.

He chuckled and shook his head. "She'll be in here in a bit."

Once I heard the silent click of the door, I looked at myself. There were scrapes and scrathes covering my body. I was going to continue examining myself but I was actually pretty sleepy. I closed my eyes and fell into a peaceful slumber.

XXXXXXXX

I knew it the moment that my pixie was in the room with me. My eyes opened and the room was dark besides the lights on the machine next to bed. There was a feather light kiss on my head and I turned to meet the butter gold eyes of Alice.

"Lay with me?" My raspy voice asked. Her face was masked with sorrow but she was being very careful not to hurt me as she climbed onto the bed with me.

"I should not have let you go with him.."She whispered after a moment. I shifted my body to where I was looking directly into her eyes.

"No one could have stopped this, Alice. Don't even try to blame yourself." I stated sternly. Well as sternly as I could in my given condition. She just simply nodded her head.

"Can I kiss you?" She asked quietly.

"I would love that." I said smiling. Our lips met and I expected our kiss to last longer but she pulled away. A tiny smirk playing in her lips.

"If your heart rate is going to sky rocket out of your chest every time I kiss you, the night nurses are going to call Carlisle." Thats why the beeping increased! I smiled and just snuggled into her.

"Ali?" I questioned sleepily.

"Yes, Bella?" She answered immediately.

"Will I be healed and out of this cast by Christmas?" I asked sadly.

"Yes. You'll be out of it in three weeks, two days." She replied with a laugh.

"Speaking of Christmas, what do you want?" Her melodic voice asked.

"Mmm... You." I murmuered kissing her her cheek.

"You already have me, silly."

"Then I want nothing." I replied smiling.

"Im getting you something whether you like it or not." She said touching the top of my nose.

"Your no fair." I say pouting.

"All is fair in love in war."

"Were not in war. Just in love." She grinned widely and didn't respond with words, but with her lips instead.

"I do love you Bella and I was so afraid that I was going to lose you." She said, her hold on me tightening but not enough to hurt me.

"I love you as well and Im going anywhere." I replied placing kisses on her neck. She let out a light moan and then moved my face from her neck.

"Go to sleep." I went to argue but she stopped me. "I love you Isabella. And if you won't sleep, Im going to have to leave." I pouted but laid my head down on her chest. The rise and fall of her breathing eventually mad me get tired.

"I love you too..." I whispered before I fell asleep in my angels arms.

A/N: Sorry to everyone who I upset in the last chapter. Hopefully you will forgive me. Please leave your thoughts on this chapter!
