Chapter 21
Alright
Bella's POV
I groaned and rolled over, my head hitting something hard. I pulled back groaning again as my eyes fluttered open. I was staring at a beige bar with some buttons on it. Awe man! I'm back in the hospital! I thought as I rolled onto my back. My head was pounding, I could feel something in my arm, most likely an IV, and the room was too bright for my eyes.
I could hear talking heading toward my room and I turned my head towards it, my eyes adjusting to the light as I looked at the door. It was open and I could see my father and Edward talking. I couldn't make out what was being said so I studied both of them. Edward smiled and nodded, my father held out his hand and they shook. Then my father walked down the hall. I could tell he was heading to work, he was in his uniform and his gun belt was around his waist. Edward then stepped into the room. He was wearing a blue polo with jeans. His hair was still a mess, like I loved it. He looked up as he walked in and met my eyes.
"Bella, you're awake!" he exclaimed closing the door and rushing to my side. I winced at the noise which he seemed to notice. "Oh sorry…" he muttered taking my hand and smiling widely.
"It's fine." I croaked. God I sounded horrible. "Could I get a glass of water?" I asked quietly. He nodded and went to the sink, filling a paper cup and brought it back. I used the arm that didn't have the IV in it, and downed the water. "Much better." I said smiling and taking his hand again. "How long have I been here?" I asked.
He smoothed my hair out of my face with his free hand and smiled. "About a day now. The doctor didn't think you'd wake up till late tonight, which is why Charlie just left for work. There's a lot of paperwork and things to go through with Jacob caught now."
I sighed with relief. Good, I haven't been here too long… I had Edward with me and Jacob was caught. At least I know I didn't dream that up.
"So what happened to me? How come I'm in here?" I couldn't remember much besides being in Edward's arms.
Edward's smile faltered. "Well they thought it was another seizure but it's been determined that you just fainted. Carlisle went back and looked through the last time when that happened and put the pieces together. You never had a seizure. Thank god." He smiled. "I'm just glad you're alright…" He caressed my cheek with his free hand. I leaned into it, smiling. I was so lucky to have him… "I'm going to call your doctor in so we can see when you can get released." He said reaching over me to push the call button. Before he could press it, I pulled him closer to me.
"I want just one thing before I see the doctor." I whispered smiling as our lips met. It was soft at first but then turned into a passionate kiss. We broke apart both breathless. I smiled and pecked his lips once more. "Okay… now you can call the doctor." He laughed and pressed the button as he pressed his lips to mine again.
Luckily I was able to be released, after some gruesome paperwork. I was home before dinner. The doctor told me I needed to take it easy and lay low for a while. No excessive work, no walking around for long periods of time, and no school for a couple of days. I was fine with all that, besides the school part. That meant I wouldn't see Edward till later in the evenings. Edward had taken me home and as soon as I was out of the car I was instantly enveloped in a bear hug. "Emmett… Can't… breathe" I gasped with a smile as I hugged him weakly.
"Oops, sorry Bells." He set me back on the ground and gave me a very soft hug which I returned. He released me and went to the back of the car to grab my small bag as Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me walk to the door. I started to let go of Edward once we were in the house, so I could walk up the stairs.
"Oh no you don't Bella, the Doctor said to do no excessive walking, especially going up and down the stairs."
"But-" I started before getting cut off.
"Nope." He then swept me up in his arms bridal style and carried me up the stairs. I was too tired to protest. He laid me on my bed and started to tuck me in. I caught his hand and looked up at him. "Will you stay with me?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. He finished taking off my shoes and pulled the covers over me, then kicked off his own shoes and crawled in behind me. He kissed my neck and tightened his arm around my waist. "I love you Bella…" He whispered against my neck. I rolled over and faced him.
"Thank you Edward." I said quietly tracing his jawline with my fingers. "Thank you for finding and saving me… I love you too." He kissed my lips softly.
"Get some sleep Bella. Everything is all better now… He can't hurt you…" He whispered. I nodded and snuggled up to him, placing my forehead against his chest.
Edward was right… Jacob couldn't hurt me… but what about Edward and I? Could our relationship last? Are Rules Meant to be Broken?
