A Summer to Remember, Chapter thirty-six: Comforting Dreams

BPOV

After Alice's speech, I began coming to my senses again. It was time to stop wallowing, and to continue living life again. Everything would be fine and back to 'normal' in due time.

Once I apologized to Alice for being so insensitive and basically an idiot, she sent me into the bathroom to take a shower and clean myself up, then eat something. Now that she mentioned food, I am absolutely starving!

I entered the bathroom and closed the door behind me. Tiny black dots began invading my life of sight, but I didn't think about it. I mean, I had spent the past few days, I guess, in my bed; of course this would happen when I begin moving again. When everything began to go black, I knew something was wrong.

I could hear everything around me, but I couldn't speak and I couldn't move. I couldn't be dying, could I?

I heard someone rapping on the door, but I couldn't recognize the voice calling out to me or get up to answer them. I felt it when they picked me up and began carrying me somewhere.

After a while, all the noises faded and a loud ringing began in my ears. I wanted nothing but to silence its annoying high pitched sound, but I couldn't. Eventually, the ringing subsided and silence dominated everything.

Silence and darkness were all that were present. What I had wanted for so long I now had, but now, I wanted nothing more than to be able to wake up and be with my friends and be back on tour with everyone and be in Edward's arms telling him how much I loved him.

Someone began walking towards me in the darkness, their footsteps echoing with each firm step on their way to me.

I became more and more scared as they approached me. But as they came closer the figure became more and more familiar. The plaid shirt, worn out Levi jeans, the galoshes, and his trophy hat all looked too familiar.

"Hey Bells." Dad said as he approached me.

"Dad?" I questioned disbelievingly.

"You already don't remember what I look like? Bells, I thought I meant a little more to you than that." He said with a smile.

"OF course I haven't forgotten you!" I exclaimed defensively.

"Oh Bells, calm down. You know I didn't mean that."

I nodded and smiled. "Dad, I don't mean to sound rude, but what are you doing here? And where is here?"

"Here is your mind. And I'm here because I need to talk to you. Bells, I've seen you, and you need to go out in the world and have fun; life your life to the fullest. Staying under the covers isn't going to do anything. I'm fine. I left peacefully, and I lived a good, long life."

"But-"

"But nothing Bells! Start being with your friends again. Start being with Edward again, and don't lose him. He's a good boy and seems to really like you.

I smiled at that. Edward did love and care for me.

"So just promise me that you'll be okay and maybe even perform on your own." He smiled his crinkly eyed smile. "I love you Isabella, and remember that you'll always be my little girl and that I love you. I don't think I told you that enough, but I love you so much and I'm proud of you."

"I love you too daddy."

He wrapped me up in a tight hug. "I'll always be there, just not how you think." He said as his figure began fading. "I'd better get going, and so should you. I now there's a group of wonderful people waiting for you to get better. Love you Bells." He lovingly told me before he vanished completely.

While part of me wanted to stay in the darkness, I also wanted to be with my friends again. The only bad part; I didn't know how to come out of the darkness.

Eventually, I began hearing an annoying beeping right beside my ear and hushed whispers in the background. After a while, I felt a cool hand in mine rubbing circles in the back of my hand.

A few minutes later there was a slight ringing In my ears again and my eyes began opening. Everything was exceptionally bright and fuzzy. I blinked a few times and the ringing in my ears along with the blurriness went away.

I looked over at whoever was holding my hand and saw that it was Edward.

"Hey." I said softly in a scratchy voice.

He immediately looked up and his beautiful crocked smile spread across his face. "Hey love."

I couldn't help but to smile. I had missed him so much. I took in his appearance; his hair was more disheveled than usual and his clothes were wrinkled.

"Edward, how long have you been here?" I asked warily.

:As long as you have." He told me a little nervously.

"And how long have I been here?"

"A few days…"

"How many days?"

"Four and a half." He replied meekly.

"What?! You've been here four and a half days?!"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because you're here, and I didn't want you to be alone."

Some of my frustrations vanished and I smiled a little. Sometimes he was flawlessly perfect.

"Come here." I told him.

He was confused but complied.

Once he was close enough, I leaned forward and kissed him gently on the lips. "Thank you."

"Anytime." He smiled, looking down at me.

"Oh my gosh! You're up!" Alice squealed as she burst through the door.

I giggled. "Yea, I am."

She wrapped her tiny arms around me awkwardly and gave me a hug. Then her mood changed completely. "Bella, you scared the living daylights out of me! Never ever do that again!"

"Trust me, I don't want to. What happened to me anyways?"

"You decided to be stupid and not eat anything for a few days resulting in you being extremely dehydrated." Jake told me as he leaned on the door frame.

I nodded. "That sounds like something I would do, unfortunately."

Everyone laughed.

Just then, my doctor came in. "Ah, Isabella, it's good to see you're up."

"It's good to be up."

He checked my charts and various other things. "Well it seems that you're doing far better than you were when you came here. And I have good news, you're free to go whenever you're ready." He told me with a smile.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes ma'am. You're hydrated and back to normal. Just take it easy and drink a lot and eat nutritiously." He smiled then left the room.

"Well come one! I've got fresh clothes for you. Boys out so Bella can change." Alice commanded.

I sighed and grabbed the clothes Alice tossed me and headed to the bathroom. When I looked in the mirror, I looked awful. I poked my head out and told Alice that I was going to take a quick shower. She nodded and continued reading her magazine like she knew I would say that.

I let the warm water wash away everything I had been bottling up and by the end of the shower I felt vindicated. I put on the clothes Alice had given me then pulled my hair into a messy bun not bothering to dry or brush it, and came out of the bathroom. Alice was right where I had left her.

"Ready." She asked closing her magazine.

"Yup." I replied popping the 'p'.

We headed out and met everyone at the entrance to the hospital. As soon as I stepped out of the hospital, two arms snaked around my waist and pulled me toward a familiar body.

"I missed you." Edward whispered in my ear.

"But you just saw me." I smiled as he placed a kiss on my neck.

"Yes, but I missed this." He said giving me a squeeze.

I smiled even bigger. "I did too."

"Come on love birds!" Alice yelled from inside her car.

Jacob, Sarah, Edward and I all crammed into the tiny car and began the long ride home.

About half way there, Jake turned to me and said, "Hey Bella…"

"Yea?" I ask wanting to know where he's going with this.

"How would you feel about helping me do an acoustic set?"

"I'd love to. When?"

Jake looked at me nervously. "Tonight?"

Alice shot him daggers through the rear view mirror. I smiled; leave it to Jake to schedule a coffee house show the day I get out of the hospital.

"Where is it?" I asked ignoring Alice's glances back at us.

"Port Angeles at a Starbucks like place."

"What time?"

"We need to be there between four thirty and five for set up and mic check and stuff. And I figured you would want to look around a little."

I raised my eye brow in silent question.

"It's a small used bookstore slash coffee house. It's super laid back, and only a few people know about it because it's one of those hole in the wall places." He said quickly.

My eyes widened in excitement. "That sounds awesome! Once we get home, go and get your acoustic, we'll have lunch and then we'll go and do it!" I squealed excitedly. "Wait, do I need to ring my board and jazz?"

"Nope, they've got all that, but if you don't mind, I'd love to use one of your quarter inch cables, your best vocal mic, and maybe a DI for the acoustic?" he asked a little sheepishly.

I laughed. "Can do. Where'd the guys put everything?"

"It's all in La Push."

"Of course it is. That makes so much sense!" I said sarcastically.

"Hey, you don't have room by your house and I do! Get over it!" Jake joked, shoving me into Edward with his shoulder.

I rolled my eyes.

We got back to the house around noon, and dropped everyone off then Jake and I headed to La Push to get everything. I opened up he truck and pulled out a few boxes that contained different mics then pulled out a few quarter inch cables along with XLR cables and a double DI box.

"Hey want some help?" Quil asked from behind me making me jump.

He began laughing. "Not funny Quil! But yes, I'd love some help." I said as I handed him the three silver suitcases containing the mics.

Then I jumped out of the box truck and pulled down the door and locked it back up.

Quil and I walked to the car and put everything in the truck as Jacob came out of his house carrying his guitar case and another case of some kind.

"Thanks again Quil."

"No problem Bella." He said before turning to leave. Giving Jacob a not in the process.

"Golly Bella! How many quarter inch and XLR cables did you grab?" Jake asked as he put his instruments in the surprisingly large trunk.

"Two of the three sizes we have of each, and a few extra quarter inch cables because you never know with those."

Jake rolled his eyes. "Only you."

"Yup."

We drove back to the house, grabbed some lunch, then everyone decided they wanted to come and we all piled into the car with Jake and Alice up front and Sarah, Edward, and I all in the back.

It was nice catching up with Sarah, even if the news wasn't the greatest.

Jake made good time and we got there a few minutes earlier than expected, but something didn't feel right about all of this. Something was off with everyone. Almost like they weren't telling me something.

And that's it for this chapter! I'd like to thank pen2paper93 because her stories are amazing (you should check them out!), and chucking various baked goods resulting in opening a 'bakery' with elephants, dwarfs, elves, and super hot guys made me get over my writers block! So cheers, and make sure to review! If I can get up to 200 reviews, I'll update immediately! I'm already typing the next chappy! Yay! I less than three ya'll!
