Chapter 37

Three hours later

I was getting my leg caste and the last stitch was put in the back of my hand…Edward was sitting in a chair next to me in an wrist brace rubbing my arm with his non braced hand. Jasper was pacing back and fourth wearing an eye patch…with three stitches jutting out underneath. Rosalie was still getting evaluated in another room. Emmett and Alice on the other hand escaped without injury. Rewind to how we got here-

Flashback.

"Alice sit down and buckle up…Emmett…you un-click that seat belt and you die…got it!" Rosalie growled. I was in the front seat with her and the guys were with the two drunkies in the back. Seth had volunteered to take Dottie, Brittney, and Dolce back to his house. We were going to pick them up in a little while.

"Alright…so are you guys going to spend the night at the apartment or is everyone going back to the mansion?" Rosalie asked.

"I think we'll go to the mansion tonight…it wouldn't be fair to leave you by yourself with Emmett like that." I said.

"Okay." she said driving through the streets of Down town Forks.

"Cause this is thriller!" Alice sang drunkenly. Looking back I could see Emmett half fallen on Alice in the back seat.

We pulled up to the four way stop that led to the mansion. Rosalie looked to see if she had the all clear and then tapped the gas. A split second later there was the sound of a horn. A coach bus had swerved into our lane and plowed into us before there was any time to think. I thought we were done for as the car disintegrated around us…and all I could think of was Edward and how much I loved him. A snap and shooting pain in my lower left leg told me that it was broken ( I later found out I was right…fortunately the break wasn't severe enough to need surgery)

"oww my wrist …Bella…Rose…are you guys okay?" Edward called from the back.

"no…I think my leg is broken!" I called back.

"my shoulder's fucked up…how am I going to hold a child now?" Rosalie cried.

"WEEE….That was fun…lets do that again!" Alice said trashed. Emmett was laughing stupidly

"I'm so fucked!" Rosalie cried some more.

"Relax…this is your first DUI." Alice said. It was then that the rescue team arrived. A scene that I never thought could happen did…they had to use the jaws of life on Emmett's car. From what I saw while being placed on the stretcher… Emmett's car was destroyed…the front was completely bashed in. we should have been hurt worse then we were. We were lucky that Emmett's car was like a tank and the bus was only doing thirty at the time. We definitely would of died had we been in Alice's bug. Fortunately for Rose Charlie just gave her a warning…her breathalyzer came back right at the legal limit but her record was squeaky clean. The bus driver wasn't so lucky…his BAC level came back a lot higher then Rosalie's.

"Thank you Chief Swan…I swear I'll never do that again." Rosalie said as she was placed into the second ambulance. Edward and I were put in the first…and Alice, Jasper and Emmett jumped in a jumped in a third. Alice and Emmett were bordering on Alcohol poisoning so the paramedics wanted to bring them in just in case…and Jasper had a deep cut stemming from his eye lid down to his cheek bone…he was complaining about glass scratching his eye when the shut the doors and turned the sirens on.

End of flashback.

Emmett was going to flip shit when he got a look at his Jeep with sober eyes in the morning that was for sure. Alice was going to flip out when she saw Edward, Rose and I all in casts and Jasper wearing a black eye patch.

"Whatever you need." Edward said stroking my hand. Rosalie then walked in wearing a bright blue sling.

"I fucking dislocated my shoulder…I wont be able to hold a teaspoon with this arm for a few weeks…never mind hold my new baby cousins when they arrive. What the fuck…fuck my life. Oh and they want me to stay the night…something about wanting to make sure they didn't miss any injuries…as if it weren't bad enough that I had this thing!" Rosalie said pissed.

"Yeah they want all of us to…well except Alice and Emmett obviously but they might as well anyways since they're so bombed that they'll fall down a stair case or something and wind up back here…I think because of how bad it was…and it being a bus that hit us and such…they just want to take precautions." I said.

"I kinda figured they'd make you guys stay as well." Rosalie said

"Thank god mom and dad aren't coming back until may (A/n this is like Feb-Marchish timeframe)… mom would freak if she found out then again if dad were here we might of gone home tonight." Edward said. Just then they wheeled in three more beds.

"We usually don't do this…but we figured that you guys would want to stay together after what happened." the nurse said staring at Rose nervously. Knowing Rose , she probably raised hell about everyone not being able to stay together and not knowing if something bad happened or something. Emmett and Alice were already passed out on two stretchers that happened to be outside the room.

"Thank you!" Rosalie said.

"Rosalie…what did you do?" Jasper asked.

"Nothing…well I didn't want to be off in Siberia in case something happened to one of us…and I figured that the three of you didn't either…specially you Edward….and as I said I figured that they probably ordered you guys to stay as well and I may of um forced them to get us all beds together." Rosalie said. Called that one!

"I'm so sorry guys…I feel like its my fault that we're all here…I should of did something…I should of known." Rosalie said.

"how the hell could you know that a bus was going to hit us…Rose you were driving fine…you didn't even cross the center line once…Alice's been more impaired and drove me home with out wrecking her car. The bus driver was the one at fault…Charlie even said it…and if Charlie thought it was your fault believe me he'd charge you on the spot …he's given Alice hundreds of speeding tickets and she's one of my closest friends." I said as nurses came in with everything we needed.

"Rosalie…this is as much your fault as it is my fault…and I wasn't even driving!" I said. Jasper and Edward nodded in support. Rosalie looked relieved that we didn't blame her or anything.

"Emmett's so going to flip shit tomorrow…that car was his pride and joy. I wonder if we should have one of the doctors tell him…they're like trained in giving bad news." Rosalie said. Charlie then walked into the room.

"Well I just got off the phone with all your parents …well except the Brandon's but Caius is probably smoking weed and Alison is probably online shopping or at some department store that closes ridiculously late. The hospital told them that everyone has to stay the night but your all stable. They're leaving right now." Charlie said.

"Okay." Edward said. Just then we heard a female voice saying " My name is Rosetta Hale…I got a phone call about my daughter Rosalie. She was in an accident!" Rosalie's parents then charged the room. Rose and her mom were crying about how she couldn't hold her new baby cousins.

"We have to stay the night…someone has to take care of the dogs!." Rosalie said solemnly.

"Well the doctors know what's best…at least here you can get help if something goes wrong." Rosetta said.

"And Seth has the dogs at his house. We'll call him." I said grabbing my phone.

"Yello!" Seth said happily picking up the phone. There was a huge amount of barking going on in the background.

"Seth…its Bella." I said.

"Bella…hey…are you coming to pick up the dogs?" Seth asked.

"Seth…we have a problem. There was an accident…" I started up.

"Oh so that was you guys I heard on the scanner…it sounded bad…are you guys okay?" Seth asked.

"it could have been worse but we need to stay the night…can you take care of the dogs until the morning?" I asked.

"Okay…and do you want me to call Ted and tell him what happened…get you guys your work for the week?" Seth asked.

"you don't have to if you don't want to." I said.

"its not a problem…you know I do nothing at work anyways…it will make me feel like there's an actual reason why I'm getting paid." Seth said. Just then Ted walked by…apparently he had a nasty strep throat and was heading to fill a prescription when he saw us.

"What happened?" Ted asked concerned walking in. Seeing Ted, Charlie, and Rosetta Hale all in a room together…I wanted to laugh.

"They were hit by a bus….damn near lucky they didn't die…and you can quote me on that." Charlie said.

"alright well I'm guessing that you guys aren't going to be in work this week…" Ted started up.

"We'll work from home…Seth's going to get our work for us." I said.

"continued production…good…good…I'm really sorry what happened and I hope you guys feel better." Ted said.

"You too Ted." Edward and I said together.

"Good guy." Charlie said

"We'll…he'll know that we're not faking…he really is understanding…lots of jobs would of fired us by now." I laughed

"And we're still going to be working…just not in the office." Edward added on.

"Well hopefully this is the last time we cant go in this year." I said. Edward agreed. Carlisle and Esme arrived a few hours later. Edward and I ran into them while coming back from the bathroom …well being on crutches I couldn't exactly run but you get the picture …they were relieved as well as pissed to know that Emmett was only staying the night because he was trashed and didn't have a ride. They volunteered to take us home tomorrow. Rosetta was going to take Rose…in fact she was currently sleeping on a chair in the room…Charlie slept in one next to hers. The two most over protective parents on the planet were sleeping in chairs next to each other. After talking to Carlisle and Esme for a few minutes they went to sleep in the waiting room and we returned to bed. I laid down holding Edward's hand…knowing that this was the closest that we were going to get this evening. The electricity was still pulsating through us as I slipped into peaceful oblivion.

I awoke early the next morning as the nurse was changing the iv's…I still didn't feel pain but that was probably due to the massive amounts of pain killers to die down my leg and the stitches in my hand. I knew though that we all must have had lots of bruises and stuff which we probably were going to find at some point. You just don't walk away from something like that with them. Rosalie was the last of the injured to wake up.

"You know I was thinking…what if there was babies on board….that asshole…I'm going to make sure that his ass gets locked up!" Rosalie growled pissed

The parents had gone down to the cafeteria for breakfast and we had just finished ours when Alice woke up.

"Ugh…where am I…what the hell happened last night…wait…why am I in a hospital?" Alice's voice moaned from outside the room.

"Mom…dad…Bella…anyone?" Alice called. She then looked into our make shift suite.

"OMG…WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? YOUR LEG…THEIR ARMS…JASPER'S FACE…THIS IS A NIGHTMARE! SWEATSHIRTS…SWEATPANTS…AND MEN CANT WEAR CONCEALER…NOO!" Alice shrieked horrified.

"Alice…is Emmett awake?" Rosalie asked. Alice looked out.

"No…he's still out cold…what's going on…what did I miss?" Alice asked.

"what do you remember?" Rosalie asked.

"I remember Dottie going after Jacob's crotch…then nothing." Alice said

"Well we were on our way home last night…I was driving. Bella was in the front seat and you, Emmett, Edward, and Jasper were in the back. We came up to a stop sign and the coast was clear so I decided to go. Right as I hit the gas a bus crossed the center line into the wrong lane and pulverized us. For once being inebriated saved yours and Emmett's life…you two would of at least wound up like the rest of us had you guys been sober enough to tense up." Rosalie said.

"We. Were. Hit. BY A WHAT?" Alice sputtered out shocked.

"Yeah…apparently the bus driver was actually almost as intoxicated as you and Emmett. He's been arrested." I said. Alice was as white as a ghost.

"So wait a minute…how the hell did we all survive?" Alice asked.

"Well like I said…you and Emmett were trashed…and for the rest of us it was a combination of luck and the fact that Emmett's car was like a tank. His car was still crushed like a tin can because obviously it was hit by a bus but it was just enough to keep us alive. At least that's my theory." Rosalie said.

"So Emmett's car is?" Alice asked.

"I'm pretty sure its gone." Rose answered.

"fuck…he loves that car. He's not going to take too kindly to that news." Alice said shaking her head. Rosalie then flicked the news channel on to see if we were on TV. Emmett woke up a few minutes later.

"What the…fuck? This isn't my bedroom…how the hell did I get here? Where is everyone?" Emmett asked.

"Rosalie…he has to know…Emmett's gonna suspect something when he realizes his cars missing and almost everyone in here looks like they got ran over by an 18 wheeler." Alice said.

"We'll tell him we came by ambulance." Rose said.

"Which will only save us until he comes home and sees his car not in the driveway…and while Emmett's dumb I'll give you that much…he's still going to figure it out when his jeep never comes back. We cant say it 'went on vacation'." Alice said.

"Emmett we're in here!" Edward called. Emmett then walked in and stopped dead in his tracks.

"HOLY SHIT BABE ARE YOU ALRIGHT …WHAT DID Y'ALL GET HIT BY LEAH'S HEARSE OR SOMETHING?" Emmett asked scared

"Not quite." Alice said.

"Emmett dear…I have some bad news." Rosalie started up.

"Rosalie…what's going on?" Emmett asked.

"Emmett…please I think you need to sit down for this." Rosalie said. Something clicked in Emmett.

"Rosalie…where is my car?" Emmett asked

"See we had a little bitty accident with the Jeep and its being um stored at a junkyard." Rosalie said sheepishly.

"What happened to my Jeep?" Emmett asked menacingly…his face developing a twitch.

"See uh…I was driving everyone back to your place because you were so trashed that you couldn't drive-" Rosalie started up but Alice cut her off.

"To make a long story short…this is the Jeep and this is the bus. " Alice said smacking her fists together for dramatic effect.

"It wasn't Rosalie's fault…the bus driver was bombed." I said.

"A LITTLE ACCIDENT….HOW BAD IS A 'LITTLE ACCIDENT?" Emmett roared. Rosalie turned up the volume on the television.

" and in other news a evening accident sent 14 people to the hospital. A jeep filled with 6 people was hit head on by a coach bus carrying 10 people home from the Port Angelus area Eye witnesses report seeing the bus weaving between both lanes right before smashing into the Jeep and testimonials from people on the bus say that the driver was drinking while behind the wheel. All fourteen have been reported in stable condition with non life threatening injuries." as the news caster spoke an image of the firemen cutting us out of Emmett's jeep appeared. Emmett let out a cry of a wounded animal.

"MY JEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP!" Emmett screamed.

"Emmett…I'm sympathetic to the loss that you suffered…I really am…I'm sorry about the car …I know it was like your child…but take a look around you man. We all could of died last night…I dislocated my shoulder…Edward's wrist and Bella's leg are both broken…and Jasper scratched his cornea and is probably going to have a scar on his face for the rest of his life. If it weren't for the fact that we were in your car…we probably would be dead right now. You don't know what it was like because you don't remember last night but I do…and I honestly thought that I was going to die or that one of us was going to die. So when you put that into perspective the loss of the Jeep is nothing compared to everyone being alive right now. The car can always be replaced…we cant be." Rosalie said gesturing to everyone. Emmett started to pull himself together.

"your right…I can always get a new car…I cant get another you guys…Rosalie babe I don't blame you…and I know that it wasn't your fault. It was definitely the other guys fault…and trust me Emmett Cullen will make sure he pays for killing his Jeep and almost killing everyone in the car…even if it takes the rest of Emmett Cullen's life to hunt the mother fucker down." Emmett said through gritted teeth.

"oh man I cant believe you all got injured though and I'm fine…like what the fuck…I want the nurses to serve me jello!" Emmett moaned.

"You wish you were injured…are you serious…Emmett…if I were you I would thank god that I was okay…its not as pleasant as you think. How would you like it if you broke your leg and had to hop around on one leg for a few weeks…or broke your wrist and couldn't lift weights. You try having someone pop your shoulder back in…it fucking hurts!" Rosalie growled pissed.

"alright babe…calm down!" Emmett said.

"Think before you speak Em." Rosalie spat.

"Sorry babe…well I do have some bruising that I feel….its not like I walked away completely unscathed." Emmett said pointing to a bruise that was so small and faint that you could barely see it. Rosalie laughed.

"oh yeah your so injured that we should get you a hospital bed next to us." Rosalie said sarcastically.

"don't dis the bruise." Emmett said. Rosalie rolled her eyes.

"so when are we blowing this Popsicle stand…those icky hospital gowns are making me sick." Alice said.

"I'm pretty sure its not the hospital gowns making you sick…more like the amount of alcohol you consumed last night." Rosalie said. Alice laughed.

"lets just say I'm never drinking that much again…well at least for now." Alice said.

"So when we get discharged are we going our separate ways…to the mansion or what?" Rosalie asked.

"Well I think we should go to the mansion because A. there's going to be an in house doctor there for the next few days, b. there's enough room for everyone, and c. I think we should all stay together to help each other out." Jasper said

We were discharged about a half hour later. Alice decided to go get the dogs and hold down the apartment by herself. Everyone had gotten setup…Edward helped me as best he could get up the stairs that lead to his room but it still was awkward with the crutches. Esme and Carlisle knew that the chances that their grandchild would be conceived out of wedlock were absolutely nil at the moment ,with the condition that we were both in, so they were okay with it. They were nice enough that they took the next few days off to try and help us out. That night we fell asleep with Edward wrapping his good arm around me.

I called Alice the next evening to check up on the dogs…make sure that she was taking care of them. Alice picked up on the second ring.

"Heyy Bells…I was just going to call you and tell you that I'll be stopping by tomorrow. I cant believe that I'm going to say this but I found some sweats that I think are really cute…and I'm sure that they're going to fit everyone…casts and all." Alice said.

"That's good Alice…say did you feed the dogs?" I asked.

"Uh noo…but I did walk them." Alice said sheepishly.

"Well did you feed them this morning?" I asked.

"Oops…I'll feed them right now!" Alice said genuinely horrified.

"AL-"

"Gotta go Bells…feel better!" Alice said right before the line went dead.
