Ok so this chapter may be kind of intense, because I wrote it from everyones POV. I just wanted to let everyone know how everyone was feeling, and I thought it would be cool if you could all see just how much everyone cares for Bella and Edward. Ok so hope you like it and please please please keep reviewing. You guys rock. Thanks. :) And BTW sorry it took so long to put out. Didn't mean to keep you guys on edge like that.

Stephenie Meyer owns all of these characters.

Chapter 36

Edward's POV

We had been at the hospital now for three hours, and Bella still wasn't awake. I wanted to shake her to wake her up. This all just seemed so unreal. I had a small concusion, but they told me I was fine and that I wouldn't have to stay. Bella was the total opposite. Just lying there. The doctor (a friend of Carlisle's) told me that her injuries were bad. She too, had a concusion, but it was far worse, along with multiple bruises on her face and arms, and the worst gash I think I have ever seen in my life. It was so deep. That's why the doctor said she was unconcious, because she had lost so much blood from the stab. All I could think about was losing her. I couldn't lose her, and neither could Renesme.

I had told Alice not to bring Renesme to the hospital. It just wasn't the right place for her to be. Emmett had called Alice to come see us, so she hirred Dep. Black to watch Renesme for us. Everyone was here now. Waiting, just waiting was all we could do. I had asked everyone, when they arrived, who Bella had called, and Emmett stepped forward. He had heard the whole thing over the phone. Over the phone. I could only imagine how he felt, because even I didn't hear the whole thing, and I was there. How could anyone possibly feel after hearing their sister-in-law almost get killed over the phone? It was just too much to fathome. Bella moved, and everyone surronded her.

Emmett's POV

As if just listening to Bella get beat up on the phone wasn't enough, we had to sit here and watch her. I loved her to death but if I had to do this much longer, I think I might have thrown up. Not saying that about her appearence or anything, just the fact that someone did this to her made me want to puke. To tell the truth, she looked dead. If the moniter wasn't still going, I would have thought she was. This wasn't even the worst part of this whole experience. God, I just can't get her screams out of my head. That, out of everything, hearing Bella in pain, was the worst part. Just listening to her scream. I felt horrible. Useless, because I knew I couldn't do anything. I can't even explain, and Edward was sitting here, worrying himself silly. I felt bad for him. If Rose was in this state, I wouldn't be able to leave her side, either. All I could think of was, Why Bella? Out of all the people on God's green earth, why was it her? Alice and Rose were standing outside, cying. Bella is their best friend, and sister. I can't imagine how they feel. Bella moved, and everyone surrounded her.

Rosalie's POV

I had heard Emmett in the kitchen calling 911. It startled me at first, because no one was with him, but then I saw the other phone in his other hand. The next thing I heard was about a movie theater, and I knew right away that it was about Edward and Bella. The one night that we gave them alone. someone had hurt them. Emmett wouldn't tell me much, but I gathered information as he called all of the family members to meet us at the hospital. Bella had called him, but didn't answer when he picked up. He was about to hang up, but then he heard a man that wasn't Edward talking, and knew somthing was wrong, so he stayed on the line. He heard a man say that it was too late and that no one could hear her or save her, and that wasn't it so horrible he had kicked her phone away? but Emmett stayed on. He knew Bella would give him a clue as to where they were. He said that she kept screaming in pain, and crying and that he heard Edward go down and everything, then Bella whispered movie theater, and he started dialing 911. Since the closest movie theater was in Port Charels, that was where he had the E.M.T.'s go. When we got to the hospital, we were the first ones there, exept for Edward, Carlisle, and Esme. A few hours later everyone had shown up, and Alice and I were outside crying.

Bella had been badly beaten and stabed, and was unconcious. Edward had also been beaten, but he was ok. Bella was so tiny, though, and she was hurt badly. I was so scared. No one I was close to had ever been hurt this badly before. I don't think anyone would be able to handle it if we lost her. Expecialy Edward. We just wouldn't be a family anymore. Bella moved, and everyone surrounded her.

Alice's POV

I got a call from Em, saying that Bella and Edward had been hurt, and to meet him and Rose at the hospital. After he explained, I talked to Edward and he said not to bring Nessie, so I took her over to Dep. Black's house. When I got there, Jasper was waiting for me. I wished I could know how he felt, because we all loved Bella, but in different ways. We didn't really have details of what was wrong with them, but when we stepped into the room we didn't need them. Bella lying there was enough. I spun around and put one hand to my stomach, and another to my mouth. I calmed down a little and turned back around.

There were visible bruises on Bella's arms and face, and a huge bandage up the whole bottom half of her right arm. Rose was sitiing in a chair, with her mouth covered, sobbing. I was soon doing the same, so we stepped out for a few minutes. I will never forget the look that Edward had on his face. It was far worse than pain. It was sadness, the worry of loss, the worry of a family being ripped apart, and then pain. Pain of seeing his wife lying there, maybe dieing. I was glad, now, that I hadn't brought Renesme. When Rose and I stepped back inside, we went to our spouses, who held us. A few minutes later, Bella moved, and everyone surrounded her.

Jasper's POV

When Emmett called, and explained to me why I needed to meet him at the hospital, I was automaticaly worried. I had been on my way there anyways, because Carlisle and Esme were eating there tonight, and Esme needed me to drop off some more money for her. When I got there, I waited for Alice, knowing that she would be there any minute. When she arrived, we just looked at each other once, and went to the room we were told to go to. When we entered the room, we found a very beaten Bella, and a not so much better Edward, exept that Edward was far better off than Bella, and he was awake with a worried look on his face. I automaticaly started thinking about the worst. No one could replace Bella as a sister if she died. I was really angry. Angry at the person who did this to her, and Edward. I knew he wouldn't be able to live if she didn't. The first thing I thought was, Please let her be ok. All I wanted was for her to be ok. For Edward, and for this family. Bella moved, and everyone surrounded her.

Carlisle's POV

I got the call from Emmet first, then from a fellow employee. Bella and Edward had been hurt. Edward had been knocked out, and Bella had been beaten and stabbed. When they arrived, I had gotten Edward and a collegue had gotten Bella. "What happened, Edward?" I asked him. "I don't know. All I remember is getting hit, and going down. When I woke back up, Bella had a knife in her arm, along with a huge gash. She pulled the knife out, and quickly handed it to me, and when he had his back turned, I stabed him." he explained. "Did you get a look at his face?" I asked. He shook his head. "No. He had his head to the side when I stabbed him, so I couldn't see it." he told me. We discussed some more things, and I let him go see Bella. His face when he saw her condition was horrible. Even worse when the doctor told him she had a slight chance of not making it through. He sat next to her the whole two hours before everyone got there. Even when they did he wouldn't let go of her.

The doctor told him that he had to put another IV in and to step away for a few minutes. That, you could tell, was hard for him. Just to be away from her for a few seconds was killing him. Esme was standing next to me weeping. It was the worst day of my life, just seeing everyone's emotions all spread out. You could see how it was effecting them, you just couldn't tell what they were thinking. I wish I knew what just one of them were thinking. Esme the most. Bella moved, and everyone surrounded her.

Esme's POV

Carlisle and I were waiting for Jasper to arrive when we got the call from Emmett. Carlisle explained to me what was going on, and I imeediatly panicked. He told me not to worry and that everything would be under control in just a few moments. I still couldn't stop myself from having a panick attack. My son and his wife had just been attacked, and no one knew who did it or why. I needed to see Edward and Bella. I needed to see my baby boy. Carlisle made me wait outside while he talked to and took care of Edward. When they came out, I hugged him, but he was determined to go see Bella, and I was right there with him. We needed to see if she was ok. She wasn't. The doctor even told Edward that she might not live from all of the blood loss. I was sobbing next to Carlisle now, and by the time everyone else showed up, the room was full of lingering sadness. I just wanted Bella to wake up, fisrt, so that we knew she was ok, and second, because I couldn't stand to see Edward like this. Just then, Bella moved and everyone surrounded her.

Bella's POV

I felt so weak. My eyes were closed, lids heavy, so I moved my arm, just to see if I still could. I heard a rush of footsteeps and it startled me. When I did manage to get my eyes open, everything was blurry, but I could make out a whole bunch of figures standing over me. My eyes cleared and the first person I saw was Edward. Good. He was ok. That was good. I tried to move some more, but I hurt to much, so I just whispered, "Edward?" "I'm here. I'm right here, love. I'm here." he was telling me, grabbing my hand. It took me a few minutes, but I soon realized who all was there. Everyone was there, and eveyone had tear streaked faces. They were all wearing smiles now. After a couple of hours everyone left. Exept Edward and Carlisle. Edward was going to stay with me tonight, and Carlisle still wanted to talk. I was about talked out, but throughout all of the talking, no one said anything about what happened, and I was greatfull.

"Bella, do you think it would be ok if I asked you a couple of questions?" Carlisle asked. I nodded and smilled politly. "Do you remember anything?" he asked. I nodded again. "Did the man stab you?" he asked. "Yes." I whispered, touching the bandage, where my gash was. "Do you hurt anywhere unusual?" "No." I responded. "Do you remember what the man looked like?" At this I closed my eyes. I remembered exactly what he looked like, and who he was. I didn't want to remember. It hurt to remember. "Yes." I whispered again, crying. "Can you tell me what he looked like?" he asked. Edward squeezed my hand, and I did the same to his. I started shaking my head. "I don't want to remember. I don't want to remember." I sobbed. "Ok, Bella, you don't have t-" "H-h-he was the m-m-man from t-t-the d-diner the fi-first night. The o-o-one who tried t-t-to hurt me at the g-g-g-g-grocery store the next day, when I wouldn't g-g-g-give him what he w-w-wanted." "The one that Emmett beat up?" Edward asked. I nodded, and swallowed hard. "He followed her. He stalked her!" Edward yelled. He was fuming. "I'm glad I stabed him! Weather I hurt him or not I'm glad I stabed him!" he yelled. "Edward, I was going to tell you tommorrow, but you killed him. You have a court appearence on friday to claim that it was self deffence." Carlisle told him. "What? I killed him?"he asked. Carlisle nodded to him. "Good." I heard him say. "He won't hurt anyone else." he concluded.

The next few days were tough, seeing as I was in the hospital for them. Alice brought Nessie up once. I agreed with Edward, she shouldn't be in a hospital. Edward stayed with me every night, sleeping in the chair, across from me. I was so glad that he was ok. They let me go a day early, because I wasn't sore anymore. When I got home, I was just happy to be able to sleep in my own bed, with Edward. The only thing bad was that we had to change my bandages ourselves now, three times a day. Carlisle helped us with the ones at night. I could see Nessie everyday now, and not have to worry about her getting sick now, too. The next day was Edward's court appearence, and I just prayed that it would go well.
