Move Along
Chapter 14
JPOV
Bella's progress is slow, very slow.
She'll wake up, only to feel me touching her or a doctor or nurse talking to her and she panics and goes under again.
I'm nervous because I won't know if the emergency pill worked or not until she starts her period. It should be any day, but I know stress changes things.
I keep talking to Bella, in hopes when she awakes the next time she'll wake up and stay awake. Hopefully my voice won't scare her.
Charlie and Rylie come by often too. They're worried for their daughter/sister. Emmett and Rose were on their way back from Chicago, they were frantic and felt bad for carrying on with their lives, but really there was nothing they could do, it was better for them to keep busy.
Rose was currently in the room talking to Bella, hoping a familiar woman's voice would help.
Apparently it did.
She'd woke up. She was staying awake and Rose and she were currently talking.
They wouldn't let us in the room, they didn't want her to slip back under.
"Excuse me boys, I need to check her vitals." The nurse smiled sadly.
"I thought no one was allowed in?" I asked, confused.
"The young lady said a female nurse could come in and look after her and there's food on the way as well, apparently she's hungry." The nurse smiled again.
I sighed. "OK, I'm her husband, will you tell me everything when you're done."
"Yes, go have a seat, I'll be over in a few moments." She smiled kindly.
A few moments later food is arriving and the nurse takes it from the orderly, smiling at me.
Another dew minutes go by and the nurse walks over to us, I stand.
"Well, all her vitals are good. She's been awake for 2 hours now, we might be able to send one of you in. Someone she won't feel threatened by. I'm thinking that leaves big guy here, out." She smiled at Emmett.
"Actually, I'm the one she'd probably be more afraid of, I knew Paul, and I'm built like him too." I hung my head.
"I think I'd be the best choice, since Rosie is already in there." Emmett smiled at me.
"Me too." I whispered and hung my head.
"Em, just tell her I love her, please." I begged.
He nodded and walked in the room.
She must have accepted him, Rose walked out 30 minutes later and said she was asking for her brother and father.
"Jasper, she'd going to be fine. She needs some time to heal of course." She patted my knee.
"Yeah, but she's not asking for her own husband. I should fucking be in there." I paced the floor.
"It'll take time. You'll get through this. And when she's released, she just wants Rylie in the house." Rose informed me.
"I figured as much." I sighed.
"Jasper. She's asking for you." Emmett said as he approached and my head shot up.
"Really?" I asked, shocked.
He nodded and hugged Rose.
I walk to the room and knock, Charlie and Rylie are hugging her and clap me on the back as they walk by.
I cross the room and sit in the chair next to the bed, Bella smiles softly at me, her poor face still swollen.
"Hi babe." I go to hold her and she pulls away from me.
"Bella, I'm not going to hurt you. I love you." I pleaded with her.
"Jasper, he hurt me and did this to me, because of you! How many others will think to do the same?" she cried.
"None, babe, none. Paul was a little obsessed after he saw our picture. That's all." I pleaded with her.
"You can't guarantee me! You weren't here, you're never here!" she screamed.
"Bella, calm down. Don't work yourself up." I attempted to hold her hands.
"Don't you touch me! Ever!" she was crying now.
"Bella, please." I begged.
"I don't want you at the house when I get released. Just Riley. I need you NOT to be there or to come around, unless I ask. And I don't see that happening for a long while. Please, go." She rolled over on her side and cried.
I had no choice but to walk out.
I wouldn't stop fighting, ever.
