DISCLAMIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE TWILIGHT SERIES. STEPHINIE MEYERS DOES AND SHE DID ANY AMAZING JOB WITH HER WORLD OF FANASY.

Chapter 12

I awoke to the brightest purple room I had ever seen. My head hurt and I felt sick. I was so nervous to see the Cullen's, I had no doubt they all heard my story. Now I would have to face them. I just laid in this huge soft bed and stared at the ceiling. I was so scared to move because then they would know I was up. I defiantly was not ready for that.

"Do you usually do that every morning?" Oh I knew that voice.

"How long have you been here Edward?"

"A well ummm…. I well….. I have been here all night. I didn't want to leave you incase you woke up."

I popped up and looked to the corner and there he was looking down at his entwined hands as they shook.

"Why are you shaking like that?"

"Well I am pretty sure you think I am a creepy vampire for watching you sleep. Its just I like to watch you sleep. Do you know you talk?"

I am sure at that very moment my hole face went white and I could have thrown up.

"What did I say? Please don't lie to me tell me the truth."

"Well you said you where sorry over and over again. Then you cried a little and that's it."

I felt the blood flow back into my face and I was a little relieved that I didn't say something to embarrassing. So I got up off the comfy bed and made my way to the door. I opened the door and there standing in front of me was none other then Rosalie.

"He forgot to mention you called his name over and over. I was rather sick of it but I guess he thought it was cute." I turned to Edward and closed my eye's.

"I asked you not to lie to me." With that I moved past Rosalie and ran down the steps.

I heard the sweet voice of Alice calling out to me and then her screaming at Rosalie before I shut the door. I had just made it to my truck when I felt an arm on my shoulder.

"Bella, please I just didn't want to embarrass you. Bella please wait." I whipped around.

"You know what Edward I can handle things like that. I would have been fine. You don't need to shelter me like I am a baby. I asked you not to lie to me I asked you to tell me what I said, but instead I had to hear it from your sister! Well instead of keeping me from feeling embarrassed you did just that! Goodbye Edward."

I turned back around and jumped in my truck and let the roar of it drowned out he's plea's for me to stop. I had to admit to myself I wasn't really mad at him but the embarrassment I felt I just had to get out of there. This was my way out. I could use this to keep us at a distance. I would keep him safe. Although with each inch I but between him and me only caused my heart to sink. I felt tears sting my eye's and my stomach grow weak.

I looked in my mirror only to notice a shiny silver Volvo follow me. My heart soared but this wouldn't help me at all. I pulled over I had to put a stop to this and now. I turned off my truck and jumped out. I noticed he was already parked and walking to me.

"Edward we can't……" I couldn't even finish my sentence before are lips meet. It was passion at its best. I had no urge to push him away only to pull him closer. I lost all my fight at that every moment. He's lips were hard as a rock against mine But it felt so perfect. As he pulled away, I felt at a loss. I looked up into his eye's and noticed the grin across his face.

"What were you going to say Bella?"

"I well….. I umm. Don't remember." It was true my brain was all cloudy I couldn't even remember where I was. I looked around and tried to regain my focus.

"Edward what was that?"

"Bella I couldn't let you leave until you knew how much I really like you. I don't know but since the first time I saw you I knew I had to have you. That I couldn't live if someone else got you. You are in every way the girl of my dreams."

"Edward you need to sleep to dream."

"No Bella you only need an imagination to dream and you are the only thing that plays on my mind."

"Edward you can't know that. We just meet. Feelings grow over time. I don't believe in love at first sight."

"I also don't believe in love at first sight Bella but something pulls me to you. I think of you and only you. I have been around for such a long time and I never once felt the way I do when I hear your name. My insides come alive, I feel like my heart beats again and my blood flows. I don't know why but I like you Bella, I like you a lot and no matter what I will continue liking you." Every time he said like I got the strange feeling he wanted to say love and that made me in a weird way feel hole.

He knew my story, he knew what kind of monster I am and yet he still wants me. I couldn't lie to him or myself.

"Edward I like you to but i'm not ready for a relationship. I have things to sort out first." He looked sad but understanding and that made it all that much harder to walk away.

"I will see you in school on Monday." I turned to get back into my truck.

"Bella I programmed Alice's and my number in your phone. You can call me anytime and the same goes for Alice."

"Thanks Edward." I jumped in my truck and started up the engine. I felt a little weird still in the clothes I wore the day before. I never slept in my clothes before. I wanted a bath so bad.

I went looking for my phone in my pockets. Only to realize I left it. I turned to see if Edward had left yet and there he was standing out side my window holding my phone. I smiled.

"Thanks again Edward."

He leaned in and grazed my lips with his and as he was about to pull away my arms had another plan. They wrapped around his head and pulled him back to my lips. I think he was a little surprised but not as much as I was. It was instinct that took over, I didn't even realize I had done it until are lips crashed back together. I pulled away as fast as I realized what I had just done.

"I am sorry, I don't know where that came from." He had the cutest smile and dazed look on his face.

"It alright Bella." He backed away from my truck with that smile still plastered across his face. I couldn't help but smile back. I started my to drive away, but all that was on my mind was the kiss. I have no idea what I was feeling. I knew I liked him but was it more then that?

My brain was on basic drive. I didn't even notice I had made it home and turned off the car. I was already walking up to the door and I didn't even remember getting here. That had to mean something.

I went straight up stairs and grabbed some clothes and my tooth brush I didn't feel hungry right now. I just grabbed the first set of clothes I found not really paying attention to what they where. I started walking to the bathroom and stubbed my toe on the corner of my bed. That brought me right out of my daze.

I just realized I had two pair of pants no shirt or undergarments. So after rubbing my feet for a couple of seconds. I grabbed a light blue shirt and kept the pair of jeans I had in my hands. Picked up my bra and underwear set them on my dresser and headed for the shower. The water felt great against my skin even though I couldn't feel if it was hot or cold. I felt so refreshed and clean. I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. Grabbed a towel and rapped it around myself. I was heading to the door when I slipped and fell, smacking my hand off the sink and landing on my butt. My hand hurt so bad it felt like something cracked. I tried to move it but it just hurt so much. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't go to the hospital. I knew it would heal fast but it still would take a couple of days and I should get it checked out. There was only one place I knew I could go but I felt weird about showing up there.

I walked into my room and started very carefully dressing. Trying to put clothes on with one hand was one of the hardest things I had ever done. I actually gave up on my bra and went straight for my shirt.

As soon as that was all done I picked up my phone. I didn't want to call Edward so instead I called Alice. I didn't even hear a ring.

"Hello Bella. I'm so sorry for Rose I don't know what her problem is." I do. Its me, I just don't know why.

"Alice I have a problem is Carlisle there?"

"Bella are you alright! Are you hurt? What happened?"

"I don't know. That's why I need to speak with him."

"What happened to Bella! Where is she?" That voice could make me melt.

"Alice tell your brother to calm down."

"He can hear you Bella."

"Well then Edward calm down. I just need to speak to Carlisle please."

It was just a couple of seconds before I heard Carlisle voice in the background.

"Hello Bella what can I do for you?"

"Well this is going to sound embarrassing but after my shower I slipped and hit my hand off the sink. Now it Hurts and its all puffy and I can't go to the hospital and you're the last person I could calls." I said it all so fast just hoping that Edward didn't hear but Carlisle did.

"Alright Bella why don't you stop by. Can you drive?"

"Yes that should be no problem."

"Do you have an ice pack? The ice would reduce the swelling a little."

"Umm I'm sorry Carlisle but the ice would probably melt before it did any good." He laughed and I giggled.

"Alright Bella I will see you soon."

"Goodbye Carlisle and Thank you."

I grabbed my keys and started walking to the door. As I opened the door somewhere in me wasn't as surprised as I should have been.

"Bella!"

"Hi Jake." I just couldn't throw any enthusiasm into with a my hand in so much pain, but it seemed like he caught on pretty quick.

"Bella what happened to your hand?"

"I fell and hit it off the sink. I'm sorry Jake but I need to go get this looked at. Would you hang out here until I get back?"

"Of course Bella, but maybe I could drive you." I didn't like that idea. Jake has always had a crush on me and I don't think I want him around Edward.

"No I will be fine I will be back in an hour."

We hugged and I was very careful with my hand. I turned to the door and opened it again and walked out. I walked to my truck and got in and turn it on allowing the engine to roar to life. I pulled out slowly. I was about to start driving away when Jake popped in the door way.

"Bella are you sure you don't want me to drive or at least come to the hospital with you and wait? I know how much you hate them."

I had to go and fast my hand was killing me.

"No Jake its fine. I'm meeting Doctor Cullen's at his house so I should be fine." I didn't realize how fast Jake was until he was at my side door.

"Bella you can't go there. They are dangerous. I won't let you go. Please Bella don't go." He looked like he was scared and mad at the same time.

"Jake I will be fine. I sleep over there last night and I'm ok." Then it hit me how did he know they where dangerous.

"What do you mean you sleep over there! That had to be the most stupid thing for you to do!"

"Jake calm down and who are you calling stupid. They happen to be very nice people." He snorted.

"Yeah people ha you don't know what they really are Bella they are dangerous."

"Jake every living thing on this plant has the ability to be dangerous you want me to stay indoors for the rest of my life to!" Now I was starting to get mad. How dare he talk to me like this. I looked him straight in the eye.

"Bella I'm sorry but I need you to stay away from them. Please for me." He looked so defeated. All my anger melted away.

"Jake I have to get my hand checked out and I am not going to the hospital to do it."

"Then I am coming with you." What?

"What? No you can't."

"Bella why are you freaking out?" Why? That was a good question. One I don't even have an answer for.

"Please Jake I will explain when I get back its about time I did."

"Bella what do you mean?"

"Please Jake when I get back I promise." I started driving down the street and stole a peak at Jake. Big mistake he looked so sad and broken I couldn't understand it. How did he know they were dangerous. I hate fighting with him. I felt a tear escape from my eye.

I think I was stuck on Jakes face and on auto drive because I was pulling up to the Cullen's house and waiting on the steps was a very concerned looking Alice.

"Bella is everything ok I couldn't see you did you have to go all flames?" I had to smile at Alice's concern but her question bugged me.

"Alice what do you mean you couldn't see me?"

"Well remember I told you I couldn't see you when you went all flames and what not? Well about eight minutes ago I couldn't see you at all I saw you open your door then that was it. I didn't even see you pull away from your house. Bella what happened?" That right when Jake showed up.

"Umm the only thing that happened was a friend showed up. I don't know why your vision would go blank." First Jake knows their dangerous then Alice's vision fails her. Something is not right.

Just then a streak of pain hit my hand and I felt angry about the pain. I started felling hot, how could I be so stupid?

I think Alice knew what was about to come. Before I knew it I was lifted into the air and seconds later I felt the hands leave me and I began to fall. Just in time as the flames engulfed my body burning my clothes. All to fast I was surrounded by water. I felt the air leave my lungs and a wave water take its place. With water filling my lungs I started to panic. Until arms rapped around me and pulled me up. I was in a pool? I didn't even know they had a pool. I looked over to see The face of pure perfection. Edward. I wasn't hot at all anymore just felt wonderful. That's until I remembered the pain in my hand.

Then it really hit me. I was naked in the pool with Edward! I looked at him and I noticed he was staring straight into my eyes not even daring to look any farther then my neck. I felt my cheeks go red.

"I love when you do that." I gave him a shy smile.

"Do what?"

"Blush, it just increase's your beauty." I had no comment he was being a complete gentleman about the situation.

"Sorry Bella! I had to do it."

"I know Alice, I guess I understand." I looked up where Alice was holding a light pink robe.

Within seconds I was out of the water and the robe was placed on me. Has I started to get leveled again my hand started to throb. Not like before but much worse. I couldn't contain the tears as they spilled over. The pain was horrible.

"Oh Bella you hand!" I looked down. It was completely twisted around. The pain it was unbearable.

I wanted to scream but I held it in, but the tears were starting to blur my vision.

"Carlisle we need you!" Just has the last word came out of Edwards mouth Carlisle appeared.

"Bella her hand!"

"Alright Bella we have to get you to the hospital." So clam. I can't understand how a doctor can do it.

"I can't go there! My secrete….I can't" I didn't mean to shout but that's the way it came out.

"Bella don't worry I will be the only one to see you. I need to fix that hand. I don't have the equipment here to help you." I would have argued but my hand was pulsing with pain. What really started to scare me was it was going numb.

I'm not sure when it happened but I was in a car with Alice and Edward speeding off. Everything was getting fuzzy. Then everything went blank.

When I woke up my hand was in a cast. I felt the pain immediately. I looked it over and it seemed to be set right. I took a look around the room. Plan white with patterns of rubber ducks and toy boats.

I had never hurt myself so bad before. I knew I was clumsy but I always avoided the worst. I also noticed I wasn't connected to any machines. I would have to thank Carlisle for that. I took another look around the room the decided to get up. Knowing Alice their should be a set of clothes here.

As I was expecting there was. A blue shirt and a blue skirt. I didn't care as much as I usually would have but I needed to get out of here.

A couple of minutes passed and I was fully clothed again. As I turned I noticed the door opening. In came Edward. It was nice to see him first. It strangely felt right to have him with me.

"Bella how are you feeling?"

"Much better now, where is Carlisle I need to thank him." Only a faint smile made an appearance on his god like face.

"He's making his rounds, he will be here shortly to check on you."

"Where is Alice?"

"She went home, she will be back to pick us up. Bella are you sure you are fine. Can you move your fingers." I giggled, he sort of sounded like a doctor himself.

I lifted my hand and began to move my fingers. Their was a sting but it wasn't to bad. I could actually feel my hand healing itself pretty quick.

"Just fine."

Just then Carlisle walked in. He looked a little worried. I wonder if one of his patients.

"Carlisle thank you so much for your help."

"Bella it no problem at all how is your hand? Can you move your fingers? Any pain or discomfort?"

"My hand is fine, I can move my fingers. No real pain but a little stinging when I move them."

Just then I noticed a weird look from Edward. Filled with concern. Over my fingers? He and Carlisle shared a quick glance. It was fast but I am sure it happened.

"Bella I need to complete my rounds and Edward is coming with me. Wait here and we will be back. Should only take fifteen minutes."

"Alright." They both left a little to fast for my liking. I went to go for my phone to call Jake when I realized my phone was in my pocket when I lit up.

"Damn it!"

I had to find a phone to call Jake so he wouldn't be so worried. I walked out to the nurse's station but no one was there. I looked around but there was no one around. So I grabed the phone I dialed my house. On the third Jake picked up.

"Hello Swan residents."

"Hi Jake its me."

"Bella! Are you alright? Where are you? How is your hand?"

"Jake I'm fine. I had to go to the hospital to get it taken care of. I will be home in the next hour or so. I got to go Jake but I will see you soon." He let out an or dramatic sigh.

"Alright Bella I will see you when you get here."

I hung up the phone and took another look around. I spotted someone this time. I remembered him although I had only seen him once before. It was the creepy guy from the hallway. He was staring at me. It sent chills up my back. I turned around and walked back into the room. I shut the door. I just sat there waiting for Edward to come back. About five minutes passed and the door started to open. It was the guy. He walked right in and closed the door behind him.

"Why hello beautiful." His voice made my stomach turn.

"I sorry can you please leave."

"Now why would I want to do that. I'm here to free you from the evil inside of you. I can see the monster that hides inside of you. You must die." I backed up. This guy was crazy. I couldn't start a flame in here.

I looked at his hand and noticed a scalpel. He had the most disgusting looking smile. He moved closer and I got ready to fight.

Just as he moved towards me more the door opened and in came a nurse.

"Mr. Smith what are you…" She let out a horrifying scream as he plunged the scalpel into her stomach.

"No one will stop me from killing this beast!"

She feel to the flour and he returned his gaze to me. I moved back against the wall as he moved in on me. I noticed someone next to the nurse I didn't get a close look at him before I turned back to the crazed man in front of me. He moved in closer and the man behind him grabbed a bed pan. I watched as the guy slowly creped up on Mr. Smith. As soon as the man was in range he smashed the bad pan over the lunatics head. As soon as Mr. Smith hit the floor I took a look at my hero. It was Alex.

"Hurry we need to get help!"

He grabbed a sheet and ran to the nurse. He placed the sheet on her wound and pressed down.

"Bella I am going to need you to keep pressure on her stomach. So I can call for help." I ran over and did what he said. But before he could get to the nurse's station Edward and Carlisle showed up.

"Is everyone alright!" Carlisle said in a rushed and somewhat strained voice.

"The nurse she was stabbed." Carlisle ran to me and took over. I backed up out of the way.

"Bella are you alright!" Edward seemed so lost.

"I'm sorry I left you."

"Its alright Edward Alex saved my life." Although if he didn't show up I would have taken care of it.

I went over to Alex and gave him a hug.

"Thank you."

Sorry for the wait. What did you think?
