Chapter 14:

Edward POV:

I remembered begging all the doctors to see Alice. All of them ignored me.

"Please?" I tried one last time.

"She is coming in right now. Do you want to see her?" Her voice sounded really irritated.

"Yes!" She wheeled my stretcher around so I could see out the door.

She looked horrible. Her expensive clothing ruined with blood. Her arm was laying in a weird way. Something shiny was going into right leg. I felt a tear run down my face. My poor Alice. I felt my heart beating so fast. I had to calm down. But I was too late. I felt a needle prick my skin and my muscles relaxed.

"That should make you feel better." Was the last thing I heard then I slipped into a deep, deep sleep.

I ran into her hospital room. I stopped when I saw her. She had needles going into her everywhere, her right leg was broken, and a tube was jammed down her throat. The heart monitor stayed at a steady, low pace. I felt my heart rip into two. If she dies she would be taking the other half with her. I tried to push that thought to the back of my mind. I had to stay optimistic. She would live. I walked over to the side of her bed and took her hand in mine. A eclectic current ran through me. I loved that feeling whenever I touched her. A piece of her silky brown hair was lying across her eyes. I lifted my other hand and tucked it behind her ear. Now I could see her face better. She had several cuts but still beautiful, her pale skin and slight blush on her face.

"You will live," I said in a stern voice. But I couldn't tell if I was talking to her or trying to convince myself.

-------------------------------------------------------

Beep…beep…beep

What was that sound? It was so annoying! Someone shut it off. I tried to open my mouth but I couldn't. I tried to sit up but I couldn't. It hurt so badly. What the hell? What's wrong with me? I tried to think where I was. Then it hit me, I was in a hospitable. Then I thought of Alice. Where was she?

My eyes snapped open. I had to squint a little because it was so white. I looked up at the object making the annoying noise. A heart monitor.

The rest came back to me. A truck crashing into the side of my car. I remembered getting flopped around everywhere. Then I remembered my mission. Where was Alice? Then I heard a voice saying to calm down. That I was okay.

"Mom?" I said weakly, recognizing the source of the voice. I moved my eyes to where the voice was coming from and saw my mother. She looked so bad. I caused her all this pain. She had dark purple bags under her eyes and worry lines all over her face. It looked like she quickly tossed her hair up. She still had her Pajamas on.

"Hey sweetie," Esme said comfortingly, a small smile on her face. "I'm so happy to see you awake. Carlisle will be so glad. He's grabbing something to eat now."

"How long have I been sleeping?" I murmured groggily.I struggled to keep them open, wanting to listen to my mother. I felt really comfortable knowing my mother was here now.

"It's been nearly a week since the accident sweetie. They had to perform surgery on your leg to realign the bones and you had a concussion, a very bad one. They kept you in a medically induced coma until some of the wounds healed up, so you wouldn't be in as much pain," Esme explained. My eyes widened. A week. A week. It seemed impossible that I had been sleeping so long. I felt like only minutes had passed; only moments since that truck had crashed into Alice and me.

"Alice!" I gasped out loud. "Where is she? Is she okay?" My heart monitor sped up again. Esme placed her hand on my forehead.

"Shh, sweetie calm down," she said gently, but my heart continued to race, not satisfied. "She's alive dear, but she was much worse then you were."

She's alive. Alive. My heart sang at the word. Alice was alive. I was alive. I had to see her. But…worse then I was? Was she in a medically induced coma as well?

"Where is she? I want to see her." I demanded.

"Not right now honey," Esme said cautiously, her eyes flickering up to the heart monitor again.

"Why?" I asked, disappointment flooding through me.

"Well…she…she's alive Edward but…she is much worse then you. She had a huge gash in her leg and a broken wrist. They put her into a medically induced coma to. And she hasn't woken up yet." I felt the blood escape my face.

"Coma…" I repeated. It was…impossible. My Alice. It couldn't be. I looked at the door, waiting for Alice to run in and say, "Just kidding!" with a beautiful smile on her face.

A coma. Some people never wake up. Some people wake up after a few hours or days or months or years or…never. But that couldn't happen to Alice. I wouldn't. She would wake up. She had to.

"Honey, you need to calm down," I heard Esme tell me. I took a couple deep breaths, wincing as I felt the pain. I heard the beeping go down.

"The doctors think she will wake up in a day or so. So there is nothing to worry about," she smiled.

I relaxed. A day. I can do that. I would go in and tell her I love her. If she didn't feel the same way then we could still be friends and pretend I didn't say anything. As long as I got to be with her then I was okay. This accident has proven a lot to me. How much I cared for Alice. But then I started to think how this was my fault. All my fault. If I would have driven then I could be the one in a coma right now and not her. If I hadn't agreed to play basketball with her we wouldn't be here. If I hadn't moved here we wouldn't have been here. She could be shopping with all her friends right now but no, she had to be here, stuck in a freaking hospital. I felt my heart getting fast again.

"Edward," Esme warned me.

I took a couple deep breaths. I felt calm again.

"So when can I see her?" I asked Esme. My voice was full of hope.

"Maybe tomorrow, depending on how you are feeling," she replied.

I smiled. She would wake up tomorrow and I could see her. Would I want to see her? All the cuts and bruises on her. She wouldn't look like the bright, cheery Alice I knew. I thought about it… Yes, I will see her. But what if it turned out like my dream had? What if she didn't wake up? What if the doctors were wrong? What if she… I winced at the word… died? How would I go on? She is really my only friend here, best friend. But the thing was…she wasn't the one in my dream. It was the beautiful girl I always dreamed about. I felt my heart rip apart seeing her. Would it be the same with Alice? I don't know how I would handle that.

"This will make him feel better," I heard a nurse say. I felt a something go into my arm and then I was forced into a dark, sleep.

A/n: I know this was a sort chapter but the next Edward POV will be him visiting Alice. Will she be awake? Maybe, maybe not…
