Chapter 13

EPOV

I opened the shower screen and kept shouting Bella's name, she was still breathing, that was a good sign. I turned the hot shower off and picked her up. I wrapped a towel around her before laying her in bed; there were three pillows under her neck in an attempt to keep her in an upright position. I stroked her face and called 911, at that moment her eyes fluttered, I hung up the phone and my full attention went to Bella. "Bella? Bella? Can you hear me?" I was speaking in a tone of desperation and despair, her eyes fluttered again and I wished she was say something or just open her eyes. She started to squirm as she opened her eyes. I had never been so happy to see her beautiful, chocolate brown eyes.

"Oh my god Bella, you scared me, what happened?" She looked at me with tired eyes as she spoke. "I don't know, one minute we were dancing, and then I was on the floor of the shower, slowing moving into darkness." She was confused maybe I should take her to the emergency room, just to make sure she didn't have a concussion or anything. I went to her pyjama draw and got her her favourite pink nighty. I helped her put it on and lay her back down in bed, removing two of the pillows so she was in a more sleeping position, I would stay up all night a keep an eye on her.

I stared into her eyes, things had not gone how I planned but life was spontaneous and things never usually went to plan with me and Bella, so I dipped into my pocket and pulled out the box. I couldn't get on one knee beside the bed because Bella didn't have enough strength to hold her body up, so I just sat upright next to her. Her curiosity lengthened when she spotted the box in my hand and she pushed herself to eye level with me. I was nervous now, excited but nervous, it was like I was about to give a speech to my whole school and I was afraid everyone would laugh at me. I was ready though, I was going to face this like a man.

"Isabella Swan, I promise to love you forever, you're everything to me and I cannot begin to imagine a world where you are not by my side." I popped the box open and asked the final question. "Will you marry me?" Her eyes popped open, she looked at the ring, then at me, then back at the ring again." For the first time since I met her, her expression was unreadable.
