I hope you like this chapter!!

Chapter 13

Beep. Beep. What is that annoying noise? I shifted my head and slowly opened my eyes. I squinted slowly as I took in my setting. Everything was white. I shifted my self.

"Peter, Peter! Wake up! Bella woke up!" A smooth frantic voice said softly. I knew that voice.

"Lexi?" I asked, my voice thick with sleep. I heard shuffling as Lexi came closer to me and I saw her. I smiled.

"Hey Bells! How are you feeling?" She asked. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes wrinkled.

"I'm okay, Lex, don't worry. But where am I?" I asked confused.

She rolled her eyes and smiled. "You're in the hospital," (A/N: I wasn't going to kill her, I remembered the threats lol!!)

Oh, so I didn't die. How disorienting, I was sure I was dieing! I closed my eyes softly as I tried to remember what had happened. Then I remembered. Bronze hair, gold eyes slowly turning into black. I bolted straight up. The beeping grew hysterical.

"Bella, Bella! What's wrong?" Lexi asked scared.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," I soothed panting. A throbbing sensation began on my chest it was almost unbearable. I put my hand where it hurt.

Lexi noticed my hand. "That's where you got hurt Bells," She whispered.

"Forget that, is Peter here, is he okay?" I asked frenzied.

"Calm down, Bella, he's fine. Not a scratch on him!" She relieved.

"Is he here?" I asked, trying to breathe normally. Some how the monitor was still beeping wildly.

"I'm right here, jeez," A gruff happy voice said. Peter came closer to the bed.

"Hey Bells, how ya doin?" He asked.

"Okay. Look Peter I need to ask you something about the mission." I said anxiously, my chest was still hurting but I tried to ignore it.

"Umm okay what is it?" He asked.

"Umm well, Lexi can you leave the room?" I asked blushing.

"Of course Bella, I'll just go down and get some coffee," She said as she got up from the chair.

"Thanks," I breathed.

"No problem," She went over to Peter and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. I looked away.

She left, the door softly clicking as she closed it.

I turned to Peter.

"What's up Bella?" He asked.

"Nothing much," I answered quickly. "Look Peter, what happened during the mission?" I asked.

"Well," He took a deep breath. "I was searching upstairs, and I couldn't find a damn thing, so I was worried. Then I saw this lose board, and I opened it. And I found all these fake passports and IDs. Then I heard Mitchell and the other dude, so I hid behind the door. The other guy came upstairs and I shot him with the sedative. I then started gathering evidence. Then I heard a gunshot from downstairs so I dropped everything knowing you where in danger. I ran downstairs to find you covered in blood." He said finally finished.

I became impatient. "Was there anyone else down there besides Mitchell and I?" I asked. Hoping for a good answer. (A/N: She wants to know if Edward was really there)

"Um nobody else was there," He said confused.

"Think Peter," I begged.

"Well, I did hear you yell the word Edward over and over again," His face became weary. "But there was no one down there,"

I closed my eyes tightly and hugged my torso ignoring the pain. So it was a hallucination. Those damn hallucinations. They just loved to make my life so damn messed up. So there was no Edward. I was just imagining it.

"Bells," Peter woke me up from my denial.

"Yeah," I said weakly.

"Everything's going to be okay. You're healthy! You missed getting killed! Think of how lucky you are," He said in awe.

I'd rather be dead right now, I thought to myself.

I smiled feebly. "So what else is up with you," I was trying to get rid of the throbbing sensation, no not the physical one…

"Nothing really," he said. He perked up suddenly. "I'm going to ask Lexi to marry me!" He was happy. His eyes where shining and full of love.

I smiled back, happy but weary of the hurt. "That's nice. When are you going to ask her?"

"Soon very soon," He told me. I was happy for him, no doubt about that.

I was about to say something when the door opened. In came in a doctor with a white coat. His hair was black but was slightly graying and he was looking at the clipboard.

"Hello Miss Swan. It looks like you are doing better. I'm your doctor, Doctor Gerald," He glanced down at his clipboard. "Well Miss Swan, It looks like you where lucky, if the bullet hit you 2 inches below where it actually hit, you could of died,"

I swallowed and nodded.

"We stopped the bleeding effectively before anything happened. We got the bullet out without a problem, now the only thing you have to do is heal properly," He explained.

"Okay,"

"You will need to stay here for a week, and then you will have to stay home for a few months. You will have to go to physical therapy so that gradually the tissue will thoroughly heal, and you will have to take your workload very lightly," He said sternly.

"Yes, Doctor Gerald," I said monotonously.

"Be sure not to move your right arm or shoulder, it will hurt like hell. Now, I'll come back in an hour to give you some sedatives and to check your healing process. He walked over to the heart monitor.

"Hmmm, your heart was overeating a couple minutes ago," He frowned.

"I'm fine now," I reassured.

"Okay then," He took a step back and started walking towards the door.

He turned around me at the last moment. "Oh and Miss Swan, please relax,"

I sighed as the door clicked closed. This will be a long painful week.

One Week Later

I was home. After a long week of pain. Charlie was fuming when he had seen me in the hospital. He was happy that I was alive, but told me over and over again to get a new job. I sighed. Right now I was I was sitting outside, the cold May air enveloping me. The sky was filled with colors. I closed my eyes. Every time I did, all I could see was his face. His perfect, beautiful face in my eyelids.

It had bothered me at first, why I was so mental. Why I imagined things that weren't there. And why I had let myself hope, without giving permission to do so. I hated that. Suddenly I was furious. I wanted to see him again, to see if the hallucination would come back. I went though the back door and went into the kitchen.

I grabbed what I needed. It was a knife. I wasn't going to cut myself, I just wanted to hear his voice again, or maybe see the delusion. I placed the knife on my arm and closed my eyes. Waiting for it, but it didn't come!

I opened my eyes, and put the gleaming weapon closer to my skin, and slowly it the cold surface touched my skin. I closed my eyes again, but didn't here anything. I opened my eyes and growled in frustration. But when I looked at my right hand, there was no knife in it. It must have fallen down, but I didn't here it fall down? Damn it.

I bent down on the ground to try to find it, but I couldn't. I finally gave up, and just took another knife out of the drawer, but as soon as I touched the knife and pale white hand took it from me. I gasped, and looked up. I could see his perfect f ace as if he were really there; the exact shade of this icy skin, the shape of his lips, the line of his jaw, the gold glinting in his wary eyes.

Edward.

"No Bella, don't do this," His velvet smooth voice.

There it was that damn hallucination again.

The next chapter is pretty awesome, they actually talk!!

Yay!! They meet!! Oh, and that's really Eddie, he's not a hallucination. Bella's just crazy. Oh and a little note, Bella wasn't actually going to cut herself she just wanted to see if the hallucination. She's just in a screwed up state, and she doesn't know what she's doing.

So please review if you liked it, hated it, loved it, want to flame it…review please!! Thanks for all your reviews so far!

Love,

Crystal
