Chapter 11- Safe

Edward's pov.

I felt... pain on my right shoulder. I also heard a beeping sound, like a noise you hear when you are in the hospital. Wait, the hospital! Am I in the hospital? I could also hear voices and I felt a hand on mind. I could feel that I was starting to wake up. I squeezed the hand that was on mine. I heard the person sniffle. Then, I heard him or her whisper to me.

"Edward... Edward, please wake up. I need you, please," the angel sobbed.

Angels don't cry. Do they? Either way, why would this angel cry? After about two minutes, I was finally able to open my eyes. Then I saw the most beautiful thing... no person I had ever seen and the first and only person I wanted to see.

"Oh, Edward I thought you was never going to wake up, even though you were only shot in the shoulder."

"Bella..." I started and winced.

"You're in pain. Here, let me get the nurse and tell them you're awake."

"No wait, I want you to myself for a bit, please," I begged. After debating for a little bit she finally agreed.

"I was so worried, Edward," she stated with a sigh of relief.

"There was no need to worry and I'm doing fine now, Bella. Let me be the one to worry."

"I can't always worry about myself. I care about you."

"Why are you not in the hospital? You still look like you need nutrition."

"I am still in the hospital, but after some convincing…let's just say we share a room," she explained and pointed to the bed next to mine.

"Oh. Wait, what happened while I was out?" I questioned.

"Tanya was sent to jail, we haven't found out for how long. We were put in the hospital yesterday and you've been asleep for twenty-four hours. Emmett and Rose were here but they just left to get a bite to eat."

I shook my head. We could talk more about this later. Right now I just wanted to talk about Bella.

"Bella, I missed you. There hasn't been a day where I didn't worry about you, missing you, loving you, stop looking for you. I was lost when you went missing; I didn't know what I would do without you. When I wasn't look for you, which was rare, I would cry. I was wishing that you were safe and sound. I can't live without you; you are my other half to help me to survive," I said with love. It's time I to tell her how I really feel. "I know it's not the right time or place, but I love you. You're my everything."

When I was finished she started to tear up.

"Oh, Edward, you have no idea how long I've dreamed about you saying that. I love you, too. There wasn't a time while I was locked up that I wasn't thinking about you. Everything you just said is exactly how I feel. You mean everything to me." She leaned her forehead against mine.

I picked up my head to kiss her lips. I have been waiting so long to kiss those lips. I didn't want it to get too heated in the hospital so I pulled back. I started to smile and she did the same. I put my one good arm around her waist to pull her closer. I was hoping that she would put her head on my shoulder.

She responded by doing what I was trying to get her to do. We just lay there with my good arm around her waist and I started to rub her back

"That feels good," she murmured.

"Oh, really?"

"Mmm," she purred.

"Do you want me to stop?" I asked, playfully.

"No," she said too fast. I started to laugh and she just smiled.

The moment was ruined when the nurse came in. She looked at us and awed. She also said that she hated to ruin the moment, but Bella had to go back to her own bed so she could eat. Whereas I needed to take my pain medication which would make me sleepy.

At first I didn't agree, but Bella convinced me to take it. It took some kisses from Bella but hey, whatever works.

The nurse finally left the room. That's when my eyes felt heavy, then I felt something lay on my hand.

"Bella," I whispered.

"Sh, I will be right here or in the bed when you wake up again, I promise. Now, get some rest."

"Okay, love you."

"As I love you."

After that I felt my eyes starting to droop.

Bella's pov.

Once Edward eyes were shut I let go of his hand and I went back to sit in my wheelchair. I am still so weak from barely eating or drinking and being beaten. I pushed the wheelchair to the window to look out. The moon and stars were brilliant. I love seeing the moon and stars, it warms my heart. I miss seeing the moon, stars and the sun. When I was locked up, I didn't get to see the outside; I was just stuck in that awful room.

I know that I need to stop thinking about that since that was the past and I need to think about the future. My future with, Emmett, Rose, their baby, and... Edward. My future with Edward...that would be a dream come true. I can actually picture a future with him. I see us on a porch swing watching several kids running around the front yard; my head on his shoulder.

"Bella!" Somebody yelled from behind me. Of course it was Emmett. I put my one finger on my lips and pointing to Edward.

"He's still sleeping," Rose said quietly.

"If you two had been here earlier you would have seen him awake. He had to go back to sleep because of the medication," I explained.

"Oh," Emmett replied stupidly while sticking out his tongue in a playful way.

Then a girl came in with a guy next to her. She looked too small to be over eighteen; she looked like a pixie. She had really short hair, all the way up to her head and some is sticking out on her neck. The guy looked a lot like Rose. That's when Rose ran up and gave him a hug.

"Oh my gosh it's been so long! I haven't seen you two in so long!" Rose shrieked.

"I know. We should totally go shopping more often but we'll have to wait until after you have your baby and the wedding," the girl said. She moved towards where I was and started to smile. I kind of flinched since I'm still trying to heal. Tanya would try as hard as she possibly could to try to hurt me.

"Why, you must be Bella, Emmett's long lost sister and now Edward's first girlfriend," she stated with a smile on her face

"Yes," I answered simply.

"Oh, where are my manners? Edward has most likely said stuff about me. I'm Alice and this is my boyfriend, Jasper," Alice added.

"Oh! You're Edward's sister. He has told me stuff about you. I'm glad that I can finally meet you, considering."

I smiled. Emmett gave me a blanket and I pulled it up to my neck, covering my whole body. "I'm glad to finally meet you, like you said considering."

I already like this girl, she could be a really great friend.

"You should be glad that she's so calm. She's not usually like this," Jasper said with a chuckle

"Oh, really?"

"Yep. Most of the time, too."

"Bella, we are going to be the best of friends!"

Alice jumped around, ignoring Jasper.

"I spoke to soon," Jasper murmured.

"What was that?" Alice asked harshly.

"Nothing sweetie, was just…talking about how pretty you looked today."

"Mhm…"

I just started to giggle.

"Bella, we should totally go shopping one day together!"

"I hate shopping," I stated with a dead voice.

"Come on, please? It's a way to get to know each other!"

"Okay, fine, but not that much. I'm only going to get to know you," I relented.

"Yay! We are going to buy a lot of stuff and I will pay for everything."

"Did you even hear a word I said?" I inquired.

"Then, we are going to fill the car up with clothes," she went on, starting to walk away talking about other things.

"I take that as a no."

Emmett started to walk this way when Alice and Jasper left.

"How are you feeling?" he asked while bending down and placing his hand on the wheelchair.

"I'm fine, just tired."

Then unexpectedly he picked me up bridal style and put me down on the hospital bed.

"Then you should get some rest, sis. I don't want you to be too tired when you have to come home. I want you home safe and healthy."

"Thank you," I said whilst putting my arm around the pillow.

They left and I closed my eyes trying to get some sleep. I can't wait to go home, safe in my own warm bed and Edward's arms around me while I lay across his chest. I'm glad that I'm back, safe and sound. I just need food and water; these cuts and bruises need to heal and I'll be alright. I'll go home with Rose, Emmett and Edward. I smiled at the thought of it, with my Edward. That's when I fell into a nice, deep sleep dreaming about my future with Edward.

Oh my gosh this story is coming along, so well and I'm so sorry it took me this long, you can blame it all on high school. Plus "bluebunny16" was, so caught up in work, that she barley had a chance to do spelling and grammer, but I understand, I'm starting my first year in high school. =)

It is a little bit longer than the last and I decided to do Bella and Edward's pov., there's the bright side, I thought I should do both for you readers. Please tell me what you think. Facebook, fanfiction is on my profile, check it out please. =)

Also you readers beet 7 reviews, yay. Now lets try to beet 10 reviews, please. By the time this story is over I'm expecting 200 reviews, this will be my best story yet, but I want to try to get a whole lot more reviews and new ones when this is done, please review and I will give you a preview. =D
