Chapter 13

BPOV

Everything was blurry and spinning, all I could see was white, the walls were white the ceiling was white. Where was I?

I tried to turn my head gently, but almost immediately a searing pain shot through my neck and all the way down my spine. I involuntarily let out a whimper and in a second something flew to my side. And I automatically flinched away and let out a yelp.

"Bella, Bella it's me…"

I recognised the soft voice whispering in my ear as Edwards. For a moment I was pleased and my heartbeat slowed down just slightly. But then I remembered what Charlie had said. He only wanted to hurt me, and to cause me even more pain. He hated me just like everybody else.

I tried shuffling away, at least a bit of distance would slow down my death. But as soon as I moved pain shot through my chest. I let a scream escape from me, but I couldn't stop moving now, I needed to escape.

The look on Edwards face was worried and pained at the same time and when he spoke his voice was frantic.

"Bella, I wont harm you. You are safe, stay still and let me get my father. He can make the pain go away."

I nodded slightly, I really did want to believe him. His cold hands felt wonderful against my swollen face. At least if I was going to die, dying here, with him did not seem that bad.

I saw Carlisle enter and look briefly at Edward and then nod.

"Good afternoon Bella, I will give you medicine for the pain you are feeling, it will however make you fall asleep. Just relax now; you need rest to be able to heal."

I don't know why but the way he acted so calm and gently I felt like I could easily trust him. I nodded and turned away as he injected the painkillers into my arm. Immediately I felt my nerves relax and I could feel the sleep wash over me.

EPOV

It made my heart ache as I saw her try to escape away from me, the expression on her face was one of pure fear. I hated what her father had done to her, and I knew that I would never ever hurt her.

"Bella, I wont harm you. You are safe, stay still and let me get my father. He can make the pain go away."

Carlisle, I called at a pitch so only he would hear. I gently stroked her cheek and it seemed to calm her, but her eyes were still frantic and she looked like she wanted to run away. Carlisle entered only a couple of seconds later.

Edward… ahh I see she is awake…

Again I spoke so only he would here. She is in pain; can you give her some more pain killers? He nodded swiftly and turned to speak to Bella.

"Good afternoon Bella, I will give you medicine for the pain, it will however make you fall asleep. Just relax now; you need rest to be able to heal."

I watched Carlisle inject the painkillers into Bella's arm and then see her troubled face fade into the peaceful face of slumber.

Carlisle could obviously tell I was worried from his thoughts. Don't worry Edward, she will heal, and from Alice's visions we know she will learn to trust us, you have to give it time though what she has been through was awful.

I sat back down in the chair opposite the hospital bed with Bella in it. When she woke up again I would talk to her.

About 30 minutes later all of my family entered the room.

"Hey sweetie, how are you holding up?" Esme whispered as she entered and glanced over to Bella. We decided we would come here to talk to you, we knew you would not leave her side.

"Thank you, I am glad you are here." I smiled quickly at Esme before turning to look at the rest of my family "what did you want to discuss?"

"We wanted to know what we are going to do about Bella" I growled quietly, and he quickly corrected himself "of course we all want to help" jasper glanced round and everyone nodded in agreement.

"We tried to-" Emmet started to say "Emmet quieter please, I don't want to wake up Bella"

"Sorry, anyway we tried to find that scumbag but he fled town. We didn't see the point in following; he won't be back for a long time. You must have scared the shit out of him"

"Thank you" I spoke very quietly, I still did not like the idea of him being able to reach my Bella.

"I don't know if Carlisle has already told you but I want to invite Bella to stay with us so we can protect her and she will be safe while she is healing. I am not going to let her go back to that hellhole, I am not going to risk that he will return. Too much time has been spent sitting back; He will never lay another finger on her. Of course if she stays with we will have to tell her everything…" I trailed of waiting to see the reactions of my family.

"I love the idea; I'd love to have another sister to shop with." Alice said, literally bouncing with excitement.

"I have already told you my view" Carlisle said calmly turning to Jasper on his left.

Jasper looked up at me. "I agree with Carlisle and Alice, she has been through so much it is only right we help as much as possible, but we cannot predict how she will act when you tell her about us, even with Alice's power."

"Hell yes" Emmet nearly shouted as I turned to see what he thought. Rosalie slapped the back of her head with her newly manicured hand before speaking slowly and I could tell from her thoughts that she was having an inner battle.

She wanted to protect Bella as we all did but she did not like the idea of a human knowing everything about us.

"I don't know if I will like it in the long run, but for now she can stay"

I nodded and turned to Esme of course darling, I love you and I already love her.

I smiled and looked around the room "Thank you, all of you"

"You're welcome." Alice chirped happily as she already knew this would be the outcome. "But now we need to go Bella will wake up in exactly 4 minutes and 23 seconds, oh and Edward, don't tell her about us being vampires just yet, she needs to trust us more first, though when you do tell her I cannot see what her reaction will be."

I nodded again. As everyone left the room I sat back down on the chair and waited for my angel to wake up.

Thank you for reading and please review, remember I will give a sneak peak to everyone who does...
