Disclaimer: As much as I would love to have written the Twilight series, I did not. If I did there would be way more kisses and fluff. And horny Edward. Me and a mate at my theatre school, FLYING HIGH, have a joke, I'll tell it too you.

Me: Why is Edward so horny?

Mate: Coz he's a 107 year old virgin!!!!!

Chapter 14 – Cause and Effect

Bella POV

I peeked at him from under my lashes, eyes wide and frightened. I sighed.

"Do you want us to be together?" I asked in a shy, timid voice. He turned to look at me face on, ignoring the road. I should have known, that after all this time, my luck had run out.

"With all my heart." He said meaningfully, and as I looked back at this moment, as I would continue to age, I saw the actions play out, preserving this moment. I smiled just as I saw two blaring headlights and heard a deafening crash, followed by my screams.

Edward POV

That screech, that ear piercing howl of pain. I heard it every I closed my eyes, the headlights always there, like a time bomb they pounce and that night explodes into thousands of screens I am forced to watch. But, scream or no scream it was the silence. That cold, dark silence that made my face turn white and my blood turn to ice in my veins. And like a bad movie I replayed the scene that followed in my head.

"Bella, Bella!" I screamed. No reply, I couldn't see her, her face turned from me and red seeping down her neck. It was dark and cold in the car. I wanted out but the car motorbike squashed next to me made it impossible. Instead, I climbed into the back and leaned over to Bella. The sight sickened me. She was clearly unconscious, but I could see the pulse mark in her neck. This calmed me, but not considerably so. She had only minutes if I couldn't get help for her. I acted on instinct and dug my foot through the back window glass, shattering it into pieces. I pushed the bike down, the owner fled, and opened the car door. With in-human speed I sprinted to the other side and lifted Bella onto my chest. She'd been on it for mere seconds and already her blood started to seep through. I placed on a grass patch and called Carlisle, for instructions. If I was going to keep Bella alive for long enough, I needed expert help.

"Edward?" He asked, confused. I never called him at this hour.

"Carlisle. Thank God. There's been an accident, Bella's unconscious. God, Carlisle I think she's haemorrhaging, there's so much blood." I cried. I could hear the ticking in his brain as he went through his medical training.

"Where's she bleeding most?" He asked, monotone, detached. Just like I needed to be.

"I don't know! Carlisle, I think she's dying." And with that I started to weep.

"Get it together boy!" He barked. "If Bella is going to stay alive you need to do as I say. Locate the main source, hurry." I felt around Bella's body finding the spot.

"Back of the neck." I replied, my voice breaking.

"Tie something underneath the wound, apply pressure." He ordered, I did. I could hear a car in the background Carlisle was coming.

"Okay." I replied, doing as instructed. Tearing my shirt.

"I'm coming Edward. Speak to her, it'll help bring he around." He told me and hung up after I gave him the directions.

Bella, baby, I'm so sorry. Carlisle's coming, your safe, now." I heard her groan and gasp and her eyes abruptly opened. She couldn't talk, that much was clear but her brown eyes were full of forgiveness and kindness and love. I smiled and kissed her lips once, she pouted them slightly, then fell back into unconsciousness. Tearing her from me. I applied pressure to the back of her neck until Carlisle arrived, stemming the blood flow. She was safe now, she'd live. I told myself that, I had to.
