I'm getting tons of reviews asking why Bella broke up with Edward… So… it will be revealed in this chapter… so be patient and your patience will be rewarded!
Chapter 21
Edward's POV
It's been two weeks since our breakup and… I still can't get over it… Bella is still everything to me and… it hurts… I know that holding on to her will hurt me… It's like holding on a bar made of a string… The string is hope that we can get back together and… the chances are slim to none. If the string ever breaks… I will fall into the darkness… and can never get back up again… It's 4 a.m. in the morning… Like every night… I couldn't sleep… There I sat, hugging my legs to my chest… mourning and thinking about Bella, drowning myself in my thoughts… A soft knock startled me from my thoughts. I thought I was dreaming or something so I ignored it. *knock, knock*. There it was again…
"Edward… are you awake?" my dad's voice.
I didn't want to answer him but… he woke up 4 in the morning… better not waste his efforts…
"Yeah, dad?"
"Can I come in?"
I debated it for a minute before I went and open the door.
"Did I awake you from your sleep?" he asked.
"No, I couldn't sleep…"
"Oh…" he said as he switched the lights on.
I had to blink a few times to adjust my eyes to the brightness. I hadn't switched on the lights since I trapped myself in here.
Carlisle's POV
I switched on the lights and I saw my son's face. The circles under his eyes were very dark. He's eyes looked like a panda! His hair was more chaotic than ever before and his lips were dry. He was paler than ever.
"Edward, what happened to you?"
"I know dad..."
"When was the last time you slept?"
"Um… two… three nights ago…"
"Edward… this is going on for too long and too far… There's something that you need to know, son…"
His face showed a hint of interest and third quarter of it was bored. I took a deep breath.
Flashback: hospital, a week ago.
Hmm… this patient's cancer is very serious… I thought as I read the folder in my hands about my new patient while making my way to the ward. I turned right to room 608 without bothering to see the sign board. I walked in and saw Renee sitting down on a chair beside a patient. Renee was covering the face of the patient so I thought I would check it out. As I walked over, I got the shock of my life. Bella was lying on the hospital bed, sleeping… with Renee holding her hand next to her.
"Renee?"
She turned around and stood up, surprised.
"Carlisle?" she said. "What are you doing here? They told me you weren't the doctor treating her…"
"What happened, Renee?" I asked.
"Don't tell her I told you this but… she went for a blood test just to check if she needed any vaccinations or anything… The results were out and…"
"And?"
"They confirmed that… Bella has… leukemia…"
I didn't know how to respond… These things happen…
"Is that why Bella broke up with Edward?"
She only nodded.
"She followed and took everything that the doctor said. She wants to get back with Edward… If that's possible… Just to see him again… she still loves him… but she's still not sure about the way Edward feels about her… She lied to him so he wouldn't get hurt seeing her like this… All she wanted was him to be happy… and possibly forget her…" she explained while looking at her sleeping daughter. "You never answered my question yet, Carlisle…" she said, turning to me.
"What would that question be?"
"What are you doing here?" she said. "This is room 606…"
"Really? I though this was room 608…"
"Room 608 is right over there…" she said as she pointed to the room at the opposite side.
"Oh, thank you… And Renee?"
"Yes?"
"Call me when she wakes up…"
"Sure thing, Carlisle…"
Later that evening… (still in flashback)
I was getting ready to end work for the day until… *knock, knock*
"Come in."
The door swung open.
