Eclipse is almost here, how excited are you guys?

Bella's POV

"Oh. God. Bella. I am so sorry."

What. The. Fuck. I tried to open my eyes to face the voice that was nearly sobbing. I couldn't open my eyes. I heard some other voices too, faint and far away and a really annoying beeping noise.

I tried once more to open my eyes, without success. Why is Edward saying he's sorry?

That's when I remembered it was a silver car that hit me. Edward's stupid shiny silver Volvo. He wasn't hurt because the damn thing had like 100 airbags. Stupid shiny Volvo owner.

Panic ran through me. Where was Jake? Was he just a dream? Maybe I didn't want to open my eyes, I was afraid I was going to open them and I would be right back at square one.

Life with Edward.

I didn't want life with Edward after experiencing life with Jake. And what about his revolving door of women, I couldn't deal with that shit.

I again tried to open my eyes still without success. I was sick of looking at the blackness, I wanted to open my eyes and see Jake's smiling face leaning over me.

Jake's POV

I made the drive to Forks Community Hospital in less than 10 minutes, which was a feat in itself. When I finally did pull into the parking lot I had to calm myself before going into the hospital because I knew that I would end up getting arrested and I'm sure that was the last thing Bella needed.

I really didn't know what to expect Bella's condition to be when I got there; I didn't let Seth get a word in at all. Slamming the door shut on the truck I took another couple of deep breaths and headed towards the main entrance of the hospital.

"Jake!"

I turned and saw Seth standing up against the side of the building, I wanted to go see Bella but I thought it might be best if Seth prepped me first. "What happened?"

"Jake, listen. Bella will be ok. She's unconscious right now, but the doctor said she should come out of it soon."

"Ok. Well what happened in the accident? You said Edward is here, why?" I was amazed that speaking that name didn't trigger more anger; I was keeping myself in control for Bella's sake.

"First, please stay calm. Edward is the one who wrecked into Bella. He lost control on the wet road coming towards the rez. He's visiting with her right now, he feels terrible."

"Please tell me you aren't sticking up for him?" I couldn't stop the angry glare even if I had wanted to.

"Hell no Jake! You are one of my good friends and so is Bella! I wish I would have just introduced you two a long time ago and maybe we wouldn't be in this mess." He signed and leaned further back up against the brick building.

"Can I go see her? I promise to play nice."

Seth pushed himself off the wall, "Yeah Jake. Hopefully Edward is gone by now, he's probably in Vanessa's room. She was in the car with him, she wasn't hurt either but they are monitoring her and the baby for a little bit just to make sure everything is good."

Fuck. Nobody told me Vanessa was here, but I guess I should have expected that. If Vanessa is here that means that Emily will be here, and it's only a matter of time till Leah comes too.

Maybe it's time for the truth to come out. Edward can man up to his child and maybe my good name will be cleared from bad guy status with the women of the rez. That would mean Bella and I could finally become a little more public, but my visit here at the hospital is going to probably start spreading the word anyway.

I followed Seth through the hospital lobby and into the elevator; I had a million thoughts running through my head. First and foremost I was concerned for Bella; I wanted her to be ok. I wanted to rush in that room and her brown eyes flutter open and her mouth speak my name.

Instead, when we reached Bella's room I was greeted by getting run into by some guy rushing out. It could have only been Edward.

"Oh shit. I'm sorry man." He mumbled before he actually looked at me.

My lip curled instinctively. Edward eyed me before putting his hands up in front of him and backing away. My hands instantly turned to fists at my side, but I was not about to start a fight in the middle of the hospital. No matter how bad I had wanted to.

Edward Cullen and I had never met before but we didn't need to. We knew who the other was. I watched him until he was out of sight; I wanted him as far away from Bella as possible.

Cautiously I walked into Bella's room, glad to see she wasn't hooked up to any type of machines. That was a good sign, she was breathing on her own. "They had to give her some meds to sedate her."

My eyes shot to the opposite end of the room where Bella's little pixie friend Alice was sitting in the chair. "I wasn't going to leave Edward here alone with her. With Bella's luck she would have woken up while he was here. No way. Not under my watch." Alice jumped out of her chair and walked over to me, patting me on the arm.

"I'll let you be alone with her, come get me when she wakes up." She smiled up at me, and I returned her smile. I really liked Alice.

I grabbed a nearby chair and scooted it next to Bella's bed, taking her hand in mine. I gently kissed her forehead before I sat in the chair, my thumb rubbing small circles on the back of her hand.

"Oh Bella. Please wake up soon. I love you."

Bella's POV

"Oh Bella. Please wake up soon. I love you."

Jake? Yes, that was for certain Jake's voice. I hadn't heard Edward's voice in a little while, so he must have gone. Hopefully back to New York, back to his life and as far away from me as possible.

I also hope he takes Vanessa with him and they never ever look back.

I could feel a slight pressure on my hand, this was new. Pressure and warmth. I prayed that I was going to be able to open my eyes soon; I needed to see Jake just to make sure I hadn't dreamt him.

"Jake." My voice was weak and I didn't even know if he could hear me, but after the words escape my cracked lips I felt warmth on my neck.

"Oh. Bella."

It was that encouragement that I needed to force my eyes open finally. Once they were opened I had to squint from the bright overhead lights, and everything was blurry.

Slowly I was able to move my head to the side and I saw the very blurry form of Jake and a smile played at the corner of my mouth. "I love you."

That was all I could manage to get out before the blackness consumed me yet again. I was pulled down against my will but it was a force I couldn't control.
