Chapter 14: Hospital

Be… my alarm ended with a thud against my wall and another thud when it landed on the floor and shattered into pieces. I was not in the mood to hear those obnoxious beeps over and over again. I had school today and was not excited about it all. Today also marked the anniversary that I had found out that my best friends were mythical creatures and I was a stupid, boring human. Abby and Lindsay are werewolves and the Cullens were vampires.
Ugh!!! Why does life have to suck?! All of my friends can turn into mythical creatures and I am the stupid one that has to have the gay boring life of a human. Of course Edward says that I am very lucky to be a human and how much he wishes that he could be a human again. I finally decided to get up and go take a quick shower. I lazily got up and walked into the bathroom to start my shower. I quickly undressed and jumped in the shower letting the hot water run down my body, unknotting all my muscles and relaxing me. I jumped out and started to dry off. When I was also most done drying my hair off, my foot got caught in the towel and I fell, smacked my face right on the vanity, and hit the ground with a loud bang.
"BELLA?! BELLA?! ARE YOU OK?! BELLA?! ANSWER ME!!!" my dad was franticly asking me.
"Yes dad I'm alright I just hit my face and…SHIT!!" oops didn't mean to let that slip out.
"WHATS WRONG?!"
"I think I broke my arm." I admitted. Damn. I definitely didn't want to go to school with a broken arm and a banged up face. I was almost positive that Alice was going to tell Carlisle to get his things ready for me at the hospital because with my dad, that's exactly where I was going.
"Come on. Let's get you to the hospital." I knew it. Well on the Brightside, no school today. My dad started to help me get up, thank God I had gotten my clothes on. I winced in pain as he lightly touched my arm while picking me up. I looked on the ground and saw all the blood that had just came from my face. Thank God Edward wasn't here, or else he would be pissing on himself and trying not to kill me. Ugh mu life sucked so bad. He eventually got me in the car and very carefully buckled me in. With him being a cop and all, even with a broken arm, he still had to enforce the law. He gave me a rag to put over my face to try to stop some of the blood flow. After he finally got me strapped in he ran over to the driver side and put his lights on. Great now I was getting a police escort to the hospital.
We were pulling into the parking lot when I spotted a very familiar silver Volvo. Shit, Edward was here. Of course he heard the sirens and rushed out to help me out of the car. I didn't realize how much I missed him holding me until he carefully lifted me from the seat and cradled me into his chest. I looked over to see Charlee look like he was about to crap all over himself. He looked pissed.
"Um Chief Swan? I think we need to get Bella inside so Carlisle can check to see if she's ok." Edward's velvety voice told my father. God he was so damn hot. I then felt him stiffen next to me. Shit he smelled my blood. I looked at his eyes and saw that they were pitch black. I was pleading with him to please go because I knew he was in pain and I hated seeing that. Things would be so much easier if he would just leave and come back when the bleeding stops. But knowing Edward I knew that there was no chance that that would happen. He was a very stubborn vampire. He rushed me inside silently calling Carlisle to come and help me. Edward starting walking in the direction of the rooms without being called.
"Uh Edward?"
"Yes love?"
"Where are we going? I didn't hear Carlisle calling us to come into a room."
"I read his mind. He told me where to go and he said that he would meet us in there shortly."
"Are you ok? Your eyes are black."
"Yes I am fine. It's just a complication that's all."
"Ok. Just don't eat me. Ok?"
"I wouldn't dream of it." Yea no shit he can't dream of it. He can't even sleep. As we went down the hall I saw a lot of rooms with people that were dying in them and all I had was a broken arm. God I could be so stupid but it wasn't even my fault, I mean the towel grabbed my ankle and tripped me. I saw nurses that had nothing but lust in their eyes when Edward was walking down the hall with me in his arms and Charlee still trying to get over the fact that Edward was cradling me to his chest.
"And here we are." Edward announced as we entered a rather large room with a huge hospital bed in the middle.
"Holy crap. What is this first class hospital room?" Edward let out a low laugh so Charlee wouldn't hear.
"No love, this is the best room here. Its only used for our family. We hide bags of blood in here in case we can't go out to hunt." Ok I could of sworn that he said family. Holy shit did he consider me family?! Already?! It had only been a week!!
"Why hello again Bella and how are we tod…oh I see. I am guessing that you fell?"'
"You guess correctly." Carlisle sighed. "What happened this time?"
"Well I went to go take a shower before school and when I got out and got dressed I started to dry me hair, then my towel grabbed my ankle and tripped me."
The whole room started to burst out laughing. But the laugh that sounded scary was this booming laugh coming from the other door in the room.
"AWW MAN BELLIRINNA I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSES IT!!!" Emmet screamed from the other room.
"Shut up Emmet." I said quietly. Charlee looked confused, Edward and Carlisle looked amused, and Alice was just shaking her head trying not to laugh. Needles to say she didn't. She started laughing as soon as I looked at her.
"G thanks Alice. I thought I could count on you not to laugh at me."
"I'm…laugh…so sorry…laugh…Bella it's just that…laugh… I thinks it's hilarious… that you think that your…laugh…towel can grab you…" she couldn't breath after she finished her sentence.
"Well Bella I really need to be getting to work. I trust that you will take very good care of her Carlisle?" Charlee announced.
"Of course Charlee. You know I will."
"Mhm." Charlee grumbled as he walked out the door. Little did he know that even Emmet in the other room could hear him.
Edward set me down on the bed and sat next to me while Carlisle was getting his "tools" ready. God that sounds so scary, "tools" *shudder* it's not like he is about to chop my arm off.
"Ok now Bella I already know that your arm is broken, so you will have to bear with me. Ok? This will hurt when I set it."
"I know it will Carlisle. I trust you." When I said that he lightly grasped my arm and yanked it into its normal place. I couldn't describe the pain that was coursing through me at that moment. My knuckles turned white on Edward's arm. He flinched as I starting squeezing harder, if possible, on his arm. I had to release some of the pain inside me. And what better way to do that than to scream. So I did.
"HOLY SHIT!!!!" Oh thank God that helped a little bit. At least some of the tension was gone. Alice looked as if she was about to cry. She hated seeing me in pain, but she knew that this was what needed to happen in order to fix my arm. And Carlisle, I couldn't even describe what he looked like. He looked like he had just lost a family member all over again. He hated hurting me. He knew that he might of pulled a little too hard on my arm but it was all over and done with now.
He put his hand on my arm where the break was and held it there. Letting his cold hand sooth me arm until it was numb. My whole right side was numb after being locked onto Edward for so long.
"I am so sorry Bella. I told you it would hurt. But this will make it feel better and then I can put on the cast and you will be good to go."
"Ok thank you. I understand that you didn't want to do it. But I'm glad you did. The pain is going away now so I'm ready when you are."
"Alrighty here we go." He let my arm go and left the room for about a minute and came back with the cast. (Ok now I have never broken my arm before or any part of me. At least not yet. I have no idea what doctors have to do in order to put a cast on. So bear with me here. If you don't, well then I will just have to eat you.)
"Ready Bella?"
"Ready" I told him. Edward was whispering soothing words into my ear telling me that everything was going to be ok and that he loved me. I felt Carlisle lifting my arm and sliding the cast gently on it and letting go of my hand.
"Alright it looks like we are all done here. Please be careful and look out for anymore towels that might want to grab you." I looked around the room and saw nothing but amused eyes looking at me. I guess they didn't believe my story about the towel that is out to get me.
"Ok I will and thank you again." Edward let me walk out of the hospital but held me by his side.
"Edward you know I'm fine right?"
"I know you are. I just don't want you to get hurt again." I blushed after he said that.
"I love your blush. It's so cute." That only made me blush more.
I chuckled nervously. "Uh thanks. I guess." I am so stupid when it come to talking to Edward after he complements me.
"Can I ask you something?" he said to me as soon as we were in his car.
"Er…sure."
"Ok… I really don't know how to start saying this but I really love you Bella and I want to spend the rest of my existence with you." I thought he was about to change me into one of them. I was so nervous now. All these questions kept running through my head. Was he going to love me after I was changed? What would it be like? What will I be like? I couldn't answer them at this point but I had a feeling that all these questions will be answered as soon as he bites me.
"A…are you g…going to b…bite me?" I stuttered out.
"What?! No of course not!"
"Why?! Don't you want to spend the rest of your existence with me?!"
"I want to so desperately; I just don't know if I have to strength to keep you alive."
"Edward, I trust you with everything in me. I want to become like you. And if you don't change me I WILL die Edward. I am dying right now I could die at any second."
"I will not damn you to this life." He said was we were pulling up to my house. I didn't even know that we had left the hospital but apparently we had.
"Edward you must not understand I am going to die very soon." I said every word strict and precise.
"Well then as soon as you die I will die as well."
"NO!!!! I DON'T EVER WANT TO HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT YOU DYING AGAIN!!!"
"Bella I don't want to live without you. I can't live without you." I couldn't believe that he wanted to be with me for eternity yet he won't change me. Men.
"You knocked us off the subject. I said that I had to ask you something and you jumped to conclusions." Damn he was right. I had jumped to conclusions. God I hate it when he's right.
"I was going to ask you if…you…uh… wanted to be my girlfriend." He mumbled the last word. Holy shit he just asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I looked up at him. His eyes were swimming in love. I had found someone that loves me for who I am and I couldn't be happier. It was obvious what I was going to say.
"Edward I would love to be your girlfriend."
"Bella I understand if you think we're going to fast I just…wait. Did you say yes?" he said excitedly.
"Of course I did. I could never say no to you Edward. I love you."
"As I love you my Bella." Besides the hospital visit this has been the best day of my life.
