Beep. Beep. Beep. That's all I could hear. It was starting to get really annoying too. It didn't sound like my alarm clock at all, but now I was just purely getting annoyed by it. I opened my eyes to see the bronze hair of my boyfriend. He had his head in my lap. I took my hand up and started pulling my fingers through it. He immediately shot up and looked at me. His eyes were red from crying.
"Hey," I whispered. He just buried his head into my stomach again. "What's wrong?"
He looked at me again, and said, "I caused this." I shook my head.
"You didn't cause it, Edward," I replied. "It wasn't your fault. Lauren did this. You weren't the one that kept punching me at all." He dug his head into my stomach again and let out a pained groan. I scooted over in the bed, and he looked at me quizzically. I patted the room that was next to me. He did as I told him to, and I rested my head on his shoulder after we got settled. I took his hand in mine.
"How can you even want to be by me, Bella," he asked.
"Because I love you," I replied and looked up to give him a kiss. It was deepened within seconds.
"Bella," we heard Alice yell as she opened the door. We both sighed and pulled away. I put my head back on his shoulder. We watched as the others entered the room. I looked at Rosalie's fist to see that it was pure red, and I groaned and buried my head into Edward's shoulder. I couldn't believe that Rosalie had done it yet again.
"What is it," Edward asked as he nervously checked me over while trying not to move me if that was the case.
"Rosalie," I answered.
"Oh," I stated as he understood. I looked up to see Rosalie shrugging.
"This time it was more than just a couple of punches, Bella," Rosalie stated in her defense. "They counted at least ten bruises that were forming." I looked up at Edward to see that he was looking away with a guilty expression. I made him look at me and shook my head. He sighed. I rested my head on his shoulder again.
"You scared us more than last time, Bells," Emmett stated.
"I'm going to be fine, guys," I replied. "You guys don't have to worry about me."
"You ended up in a hospital, Bella," Alice stated. "Of course we have to worry about you. Did you think we wouldn't when Angela came into my classroom and told me that you were passed out on the floor because you were beaten up by Lauren yet again? We worry about you more than that to let that get away from us."
"And this time I got to her before she decided to go home," Rosalie informed me with a smile. I could tell that she made Lauren look worse than me.
"So how did all of you guys find out," I questioned.
"Alice," they answered in unison.
"And it wasn't that hard to spot you when the ambulance came," Emmett stated. "They parked in front of the school and we went because of curiosity, even though the teacher didn't want us too. Good thing it was a sub. Anyways, I look at who is coming out of the school to find my sister coming out in a stretcher with a neck holder and unconscious. That's not really the greatest thing to see. It's a good thing dad wasn't there, or he would have freaked. He did when the school called him though." And he chuckled a bit.
"That's not a laughing matter," Dad grunted when he walked into the room. I smiled at him when I saw that he had brought some pizza with him. He smiled back and put the pizzas on my legs. "Alright, dig in." I grabbed two pieces for Edward and me and ate it gladly. I so glad that I didn't have to eat hospital food. It was the worst.
"Thanks Charlie," Rosalie stated. We all said our thanks after her. He nodded while looking away, blushing a little.
"Now we know where Bella gets her blush," Alice stated, making me blush as well.
"I was more like dad while Emmett was like mom," I replied. There was a silence after that. We didn't say anything at all really. I knew it was because I brought up mom, and it was considerate of them to do so.
"We have to talk about prom," Alice stated before she started bouncing up and down.
"That's my cue to leave," Charlie said as he left the room.
"See you later, Dad," I called. He popped his hand in the room to wave before he fully left. "Speaking of which, when do I get out of this hell hole?" Emmett started laughing.
"I forgot how much you hated hospitals," Emmett chuckled. "It must have driven you nuts to hear the beeping when you woke up." I nodded. He laughed a little more before Rosalie smacked his chest.
"Be nice," she warned him before getting up and walking out the door. She returned with Carlisle coming in after her.
"Hello Bella," he greeted.
"Hello Dr. Cullen," I stated before he gave me a look. "Carlisle."
"What can I do for you today," he questioned.
"When can I get out of here," I whined.
He chuckled and stated, "Right now is a good time." I started pulling at the needle before anyone could stop me, but then that's when I actually saw the needle and fainted.
