"Wait he's waking up." I heard a stiffly voice say.
"Thank God, I couldn't take it if we lost both of them." I heard a chirpy voice call.
I couldn't tell who they were, I didn't have the strength to open my eyes and every time I moved it hurt really badly.
What happened to me? The last thing I remember was humming to What a Wonderful World on the radio driving home from the fair with Bella. Where was Bella?
"Edward? Can you hear me? It's Emmett."
"Emmett? What happened?" I came out as a whisper, my throat was so dry.
"Dude, you were in a car crash, you broke some of you rib and you leg."
"What car crash? Where's Bella?" I tried to sit up but a sharp pain hit me in the stomach.
I collapsed back on the bed. I can't remember seeing another car. Only a bright light. Oh right, car head lights.
"Umm yeah that's the thing, Bella, well she's, well-"
I could tell something bad had happened to Bella and Emmett was trying to find a nice way to put it.
"For God's sake Emmett I'll tell him." I heard a girl snap from the other end of the room.
I looked over to see Rosalie and Alice on chairs in the corner. Rose was drinking some tea and Alice was sobbing like a baby.
I looked around the rest of the room to find machinery everywhere and a very annoying noise was beeping in my ear.
I looked down at myself to see bandages everywhere and a pot on my left leg. There was one of those weird breathing things up my nose and a needle in my arm.
"Where am I?"
"Your at St. Phillips Hospital. As Emmett said you were in a car crash and you've been out for 5 hours."
Rose said walking over to me and sitting on the end of the bed.
"Where's Bella?"
"She's in a coma in the next room. She got hit pretty badly but they said it's not that serious, just shock."
Bella was in a coma? This was my fault. If I wouldn't have gone all grumpy she wouldn't have got upset and we could of rode with Alice and Jasper to the fair.
I could feel tears filling my eyes. I looked away from them all and through the glass window into the next room. And there she was.
She looked so pale. And dead. I saw Jasper sitting on a chair next to her bed and another man talking to the nurse.
"Who's the other man with Bella?" I couldn't take my eyes off Bella.
"Oh that's her farther, His name is, umm summot like Craig."
Rose said taking the last sip of her tea and throwing it in the bin next to my bed.
"Is she going to survive?" I went all stiff. I don't think I could live much longer without her.
"Dude, chill. Dad said she will be fine." Emmett said sitting down next to Rose.
"What, wait dad?"
Then I realised, St. Phillips Hospital. That's where my dad worked, except we never call him dad, we usually call him Carlisle, he prefers that.
"Yeah, he works here, he's been looking after you and Bella for the past 5 hours, he wouldn't let anyone else look after you."
"Why have I never met you dad?" Alice asked from the corner blowing her nose.
"Because we knew you would fancy him like everyone else does, we know you Alice."
Rose said going to sit back next to Alice.
I was about to ask another of my 500 question until Carlisle a.k.a 'dad' walked through the door, and like Rose pointed out, Alice's mouth dropped open big enough to fit an cat in.
"Good to see your awake Edward." Carlisle said taking the clip board from the side and looking through the tests and what not.
"How do you feel?" He asked walking over to me and taking my pulse.
"Well it hurts, a lot and I feel quite dizzy and tired."
"Those are the usual symptoms, part from that you fine, you will make a full recovery."
He spoke to me like I was any other patient, not his son.
"Well you should get some rest. I need to go and check up on Bella." He said goodbye to everyone and walked out the door into Bella's room.
Alice was the first to speak.
"God he's fiiiinnnneeee." Alice said sounding more cheery.
"Alice I'll tell Jasper your in love with his dad." Rose said getting up and starting to head for the door.
"No please don't." Alice pleaded grabbing Rose's wrist.
"I'm just going to the toilet, chill." Rose laughed and walked out the door and down the corridor.
I saw Alice relaxed. It looked like she was going to cry again. I tried to laugh but it hurt to much.
I looked back into Bella's room to see Craig staring straight at me. He looked away to Jasper and started speaking then he stood up and headed for the door.
I knew he was coming in here to shout at me for making Bella like this so it wasn't going to come as a surprise.
He opened the door to my room and we all looked up at him.
"Excuse me, please may I speak to Edward alone?"
He sounded very formal and polite not what I though he would be like. He wore casual baggy jeans, black converses and a 'muse' t-shirt on.
Everyone said bye to me and went into Bella's room.
Craig came to sit on the chair next to me with his back to the peeping people in the other room, also known as Jasper, Alice and Emmett.
"Bella has told me a lot about you, she really likes you."
Craig said looking into his hand, I knew this was awkward for him.
"Yeah, I really like her to."
"I'm going to live in Spain with her mother and brother but were coming back at the end of the year."
He looked up into my eyes.
"Take good care of her, will you please?"
I could tell he had been crying a lot, his eyes were all red and bloodshot, obviously he hasn't been sleeping a lot either.
"I will take good care of her, I love her and I will never let her be hurt, again."
I froze before saying the last bit. Craig gave a little laugh then stood up and started to head for the door.
"Thank you Edward, I'll be here till she wakes up so I can say goodbye, but then I will be gone until December."
I gave him a quick smile before he went out the door and down the corridor to the canteen. I can remember when I was a little kid, I use to love this hospital, Me and Emmett would race around in wheel chairs while Jasper told us how inappropriate it was. Then Carlisle would come in and tell us off, but we would just laugh it off.
I took a deep sigh of relief and closed my eyes trying to get back to sleep.
I Must have been asleep for around 3 hours until I heard someone rush into the room screaming my name.
"What?" I mumbled still half asleep.
"It's Bella, she's waking up!" I heard Alice scream with joy.
Then I shot awake. Thank God she hadn't died. But I couldn't go see her.
I turned my head to look into Bella's room and I saw Bella's eyes looking into mine. I gave her a big smile, it hurt my head but I didn't care. I was glad to see her awake.
She gave me a smile back but then that smile turned into a scream and her eyes closed and her head fell back onto the pillow.
I started to panic and so did everyone else in the room. I pulled all the wires off me and grabbed a pair of crutches I found next to my bed.
I lifted my torso up and winced in the pain. I dragged my legs off the bed so I was sitting up. I sat there for a few seconds to let the pain fade.
When most of the pain had gone I put the wooden crutches under my arms and stood up fast so the pain wasn't there for long.
I saw all the guys staring at me in shock as I pushed the door opened and hopped along the corridor into Bella's room.
I could see Bella more clearly now. She had wires everywhere. The nose thing up her nose like I did and needles in her arm.
Carlisle was next to her taking her pulse and looking at all the machines.
I looked over to the guys at the other end of the room. Alice was crying on Jasper's shoulder while he comforted her, Emmett was staring at me and Rose was texting on her phone, ugh! She doesn't care about anyone else except herself.
"What's happening?" I said walking over to Carlisle.
"She's just fainted because of the pain, She's fine." He said turning round to look at me.
" How did you get out of bed?" He asked looking at me confused.
"In pain."
Before he could answer I but in.
"I want to stay in her with Bella, if that's alright?"
"Yes it's fine, just stay sat down."
He looked from me to Bella then back to me.
"You really care for her don't you?"
"I love her." I said staring at Bella.
I heard Alice aww through her tears and Rose smirk. I glared at Rose and sat on the seat next to Bella.
I took her hand and wasn't going to let go until she woke up.
Or if I fell asleep.
Awww poor Bella, and Edward. Please Review.
