BPOV:
I cried uncontrollably while I closed the envelope and wrote Edward's name on it. This couldn't really be true. I was finally together with the perfect guy and I break up. I pushed that thought away and looked around in my room. Thinking about taking my clothes with me when I realized that I had no clothes that I own with me. This was all not mine... and it wasn't me either.
I took the letter and left the room. This was it. I placed the letter in front of the door and ran to the stairs while I put my jacket on. I stopped at the reception a blond girl gave me a surprised look. I wiped the tears away and tried to smile.
"Ahm hi... Bella Swan. I would like to get my car." I said. I watched the girl check something on the computer and I was glad that Edward put my name on the list, too, when we checked in. She got the keys and gave me anapologizing smile.
"Here you go honey." She said and I nodded. I took the keys and ran out of the building and into the car. I tried to hide my tears I didn't want to cry- especially not when I am driving. It was hard and the knowledge that I would never see Edward again made my whole body ache. I was adicted to his touch, his smell, his smile... just everything. I had the feeling I left half of me in the hotel room when I finally got on the interstate. The thought that Edward could come after me made me drive faster than usually. I was driving 130 miles per hour when I started screaming. I didn't want to think of Edward anymore. I turned the radio on- hoping to think of something else with some music.
"If I could trust you
If only for once I would
I know that I could fall
in love.
Can't you see
what love has made of me..."
The tears shot into my eyes. That was the song Edward and I danced to just last night. I tried to change the channel but all the channels were the same. And that was my own freaking fault. I cried so bad that I couldn't see the road anymore. I needed to turn off the radio. This was impossible. I looked for the right button when I suddenly felt the steering wheel move under my hand and before I could do or realize what happened I felt myself get pressed into the seat with such a force that I heard a horrible noise like braking bones. I screamed... but not just any scream.
"EDWARD!" I screamed while the car flipped and I heard the honking of my own car.
"Edward." I whispered with my last breath. Than everything got dark.
EPOV:
On the way to the hospital I got my phone out and contacted the presidential doctor. I wanted him to send the best doctors of the country down her as fast as possible. Of course that was no problem and he assured me they would be there in less than an hour. I wasrelieved I wouldn't give my Bella in the hands of some idiots.
The ambulance came to a stop right in front of the entrance of the hospital. I got out of my car and ran towards the back doors that opened immediately. Still one of the paramedics tried to reanimate Bella. My heart sank. She was still dead. I ran after them into the hospital until one of the doctors stopped me in front of an automatic door.
"So. You are the girl's fiance?" He asked suspicious.
"Does that really matter right now? What is going on?" I asked angrily.
"Well... her heart is not beating." The doctor said.
"Since when?" I asked nervously.
"Since at least 20 minutes." The doctor said.
"What is going to happen. You don't give up right?" I asked desperate.
"Actually that isn't in hour hands. Another team of doctors arrived. They are going to take the case. I guess that was your wish." The doctor said in a dry tone. I sighed.
"Yes, yes it was." I said and the doors opened again.
"Hello Mr. Masen. My name is Dr. van Houston. We got the ten best doctors of the country called together to reanimate this girl. At the moment there are just three of us but we are trying our best. I am going to send a nurse out every ten to thirty minutes for an update." He said and I nodded.
"Thank you. Thank you." I said and he gave me a smile and disappeared. I sat down. It was 2:30 pm right now. I couldn't get it in my head. Bella was dead. She might be dead forever. I pulled on my hair. I might have lost my angel. I saw the first tear falling it looked like it fell in slow motion until it touched the floor and spread out.
This couldn't really be happening. Stuff like this never happens to people you have feelings for. You just always hear those sad stories feel sorry for the people and forget all about it. How could it be possible that I- Edward Masen- the son of the President felt powerless all of a sudden?
Time seemed to stand still. I got up and walked back and forth. Than I leaned against the wall and stared at the clock. I got myself something to drink just to let it stand there on a table without touching it once. I looked through magazines without seeing a thing. No matter what I did. My thoughts were with the dead body of the girl I... liked a lot. I stared at my phone. I should call everyone. Tell them what happened. But I couldn't. I couldn't tell them that Bella was... that she was... Right than the door opened and the nurse came out. I got up immediately.
"Mr. Masen?" She asked and I nodded quickly. "I am here because of the update..." I nodded again.
"Yes, I know... how is she?" I asked quickly.
"Well... she is still not responding to the reanimation." The nurse said with an apologizing look. I sank down into my seat and hid my face in my hands.
"Don't give up Mr. Masen. The doctors said that she is dead since 40 minutes. That means we still have 5 minutes to save her..." She said I looked up in complete confusion.
"Why not longer?" I asked scared.
"Well... everyone that is longer dead than 45 minutes can't be reanimated. We call it brain death. The brain is dead and that means that the body can't respond in any way. So. I will be back in 5 minutes..." She said and turned around. I got up.
"Can I do anything to help?" I asked desperately. She nodded.
"Yes. You could pray." She said and walked away.
I sat back down and looked at the clock. 5 minutes. What if she was longer dead than the doctors thought she was. Maybe her brain was already dead. I looked up and saw a door with the sign Chapel. I thought of what the nurse had said and got up. Why not try it. I needed someone to help me. And if there really is something like a god than he would be the one I should turn to. Right?
I opened the door and entered the chapel. I sat down on the bench which was almost in the front. I looked up to the wooden cross and felt new tears coming. I leaned my arms on the bench in front of me and closed my eyes.
Dear God.
I know you probably don't care a lot for me. And I understand why... it's not like I would deserve your protection. But today... in this hour... I am not here because I want to improve my own life. I want to beg for a favor. There is this girl. Her name is Bella. She saved me. You probably know how I lived the last year and you probably know how much Bella changed me. How she turned me into a good person. But God. I guess I did something wrong because right now she is dying and the doctors tell me they probably can't save her. But I need her. She is all I have. All I care for. The reason I live. She is myexistence . I can't live without her. I don't even know HOW I lived without her for eighteen years. Please dear god. She means so much to me. Please let her live again. Please don't let her die like that. Please. Please. Please.
I let my head hang down and started to cry. I lost Bella forever. She would never smile at me again or say my name. She was gone. She would never breathe again. She was gone. All of a sudden I felt a hand on my back. I looked up in wonder and saw a girl about my age with long blond hair in a white dress standing in front of me.
"Could you scout over a bit please?" She asked with a smile. I did what she told me and stared at my hands. She gave me a worried look.
"Why are you crying?" She asked and put her hand on my knee. I hid my face in my hands. "Sometimes it helps to talk about it, you know." She said and gave me another smile. I looked at her for a long time. Her face wasdifferent. So true and innocent. I sighed and looked down to my feet.
"I lost my girlfriend." I whispered. The girl shrugged.
"You will get another one." She said. I looked at her- almost furious.
"Another one? There won't be anyone who could ever replace her!" I said.
"If she is just a girlfriend it wasn't pretty serious I would say." The girl said. My mouth fell open. "How long were you two together anyway?" She asked.
"Just one day... but there is a reason why and we knew each other since three month." I said. Trying to explain that Bella was different. The girl laughed.
"One day? One day? And you are crying?" She asked.
"It is not like that. She was always more than just a girl for me. Since the first time I saw her. She was always special. And I always felt like I knew her my whole life. She was... she was my missing puzzle piece. She was IT. The one. She was the one I saw when I pictured myself in sixty years." I said and looked up to the girl and was confused when I saw her smiling contently.
"Well you should have said that from the beginning. Seems like she was something special." She said and I nodded my head- feeling new tears coming. "How did she die?"
I winced when the girl said the d-word.
"She got in a car accident this afternoon." I whispered and the girl took my hand.
"So if you feel so strongly about her why did she walk away?" The girl asked and stroke my back with the other hand.
"Because... because... because I let her go. We had some problems. She couldn't stand the attention she got being my girlfriend and I guess she thought she wasn't good enough for me." I explained. The girl nodded.
"Is that true?" She asked and I shook my head immediately.
"No! Of course not! It's like I said. She is the only one that matters... mattered." I corrected myself and heard my voice break.
"Did you tell her?" She asked and I shook my head.
"No. She was gone before I could talk to her. And when I drove after her she was... already... d..." I couldn't say it. The girl nodded.
"Tell me about her." She said and gave me a warm smile. I looked back down to the floor and smiled.
"She was an amazing girl. She came to us to the White House as a foreign exchange student and I will always remember the first night when she didn't come to dinner and we all waited for her... for almost an HOUR! Until someone told us that she got lost! I remember the way I found her and how desperate she was because she was worried my parents would be mad. She was always like that. She always put other person's needs in front of her own. She was a really bad liar, too. Oh and she is a sleep talker... was a sleep talker. She always blushed when she was embarrassed and she always hit me when she was mad at me. She always tried to be perfect and organized but in reality she was a normalspontaneous person. Her smile could light up the dark and her touch made my heart melt. She never knew but I would have never been able to deny her a wish. I would have never been strong enough to go against her. I loved everything she was... everything she did. She was mine and the day we got together was the happiest of my life. I swore to myself when I kissed her for the first time that I would NEVER let her out of my sight... that I would catch her wherever she would fall... not even that I could do." I mumbled the last part and felt the sadness spread again.
"I bet she didn't feel differently about you Edward." She said and gave me another warm smile. I gave her a confused look but when I looked into her eyes I forgot what I wanted to ask her.
"So I guess there is still hope... right?" She asked.
"Ahm... why do you ask?" I asked back.
"Because you wouldn't sit in this chapel and pray if there was no hope." She said and gave me a warm smile.
"They try to reanimate her... there are about two minutes left and than they give up." I whispered and looked down again. All of a sudden the girl took my hand and I looked up to her.
"Do you want to pray with me?" She asked and I nodded.
"That's all I can do right now... right?" I said and she smiled at me while she put her hands on top of mine.
"Well... than let us pray." She said and closed her eyes and so did I.
"Dear Lord." She started. "We come to you today to ask for your help. You know we mostly turn to you in bad times and forget you in good ones. We thank you for loving us anyway and helping us even though you know we might never return your favor. Edward's girlfriend... his soul mate Isabella Swan is fighting for her life right now. She is everything he has. Everything he wants... and he needs you to help him. He knows that his life wasn't always how you would like it to be... especially the last year. But you also know how honest he is about his feelings for Bella and how much she means to him. So we come to you in this desperate hour and beg for your support because we know that you are the one we can turn to. We know we can't beg for you to let her live again. But we can beg for your support- however you may decide about her fate. Amen." She said and I took a deep breath. I opened my eyes and smiled at the girl.
"Weird..." I said and trailed off.
"What do you mean?" She asked with a smile as if she knew what I would say.
"I feel so different... full of hope that Bella will get through this... that she will live." I said and smiled. The girl stroked my cheek.
"You see it helps to pray. God helps... even though his ways might be difficult to understand sometimes." She said and took her necklace of. A silver necklace with a silver cross on it.
"What is your name anyway?" I asked and smiled.
"Legna. I know it sounds weird... my father likes it a lot." She said and smiled.
"Legna... weird... that sounds familiar." I said and thought about it. She laughed.
"Yes... you won't believe how often I hear that." She said and smiled. Than she took my hand and placed the necklace in it. All of a sudden her face turned serious.
"The five minutes are over... it's time to face reality. Take this with you... never let the hope die and always look what is behind it..." She said and I looked at her in complete surprise. That was when the door opened and I saw the nurse come in.
"Excuse me Legna." I said and got up. I walked to the nurse and in the dark chapel I couldn't even see her face. My heart was pounding wildly and my legs seemed to be out of jello. Oh please... let Bella live... let Bella be alive!
I stopped in front of the nurse and without a warning she came up to me and hugged me. I wasn't sure what to say.
"Is... is... is that a good or bad sign." I asked and my voice was sore. The nurse let go of me and looked at me. That was the first time I saw her tears. Oh no.
"We... we tried to save her! We tried everything... every art of drug..." She said and trailed off. I let myself fall down on the next bench. Oh no. I squeezed the cross in my hand.
"She... she didn't respond to anything." The nurse said and I let my head hang down. The tears came again. I lost Bella. I really did. I felt a pain starting in my heart which now spread through my whole body.
"A minute ago the doctors just wrote down the time of death. 2:44pm. And sent me to tell you the bad news." She said and I nodded. I didn't want to hear this. I got it. She was dead.
"I was almost out of the door when I heard a beeping coming from the monitor. I turned around and looked at the doctors who where as shocked as I was and we all stared at the monitor and watched how her heart started pounding again and her pulse got back to normal." She said and I jumped up from the bench. I gave her a surprised look.
"Bella lives?" I asked and felt how all the tension left my body and got replaced with joy. The nurse laughed.
"Yes. It is a wonder... a medical wonder. I am here since 15 years but something like this I have never seen before." She said and started crying like I did.
"Seems like praying helps, hu?" She said and laughed.
"Oh it did. I am sure... but right than when Bella got back to life I didn't pray alone. I prayed with this girl that sits there..." I said and pointed to the bench I sat just a minute ago. But Legna wasn't there.
"Someone else was here?" The nurse asked.
"Yes. A girl... Legna... she prayed with me. She was here when you got in." I said but the nurse gave me a careful look.
"Ahm no Mr. Masen... when I came in no one sat next to you. You were alone." She said and I gave her a surprised look. Did I just imagine Legna? No way.
"Well... I have to go back to surgery... Now that we could stabilize her we can start fixing her." She said and smiled at me. I was completely confused. I just nodded and she left. I sat down again and thought about everything. I was glad that Bella was alive again but Legna didn't get out of my mind. I didn't imagine this girl. She was real. I thought about our conversation... every word she said... Suddenly my eyes grew wide when I remembered the odd parts. She knew my name and she knew Bella's full name. I never told her that. I never heard the door get opened when she came in. And her name... Legna... Legna... And why did the nurse not see her? I knew she was real... she touched me... it was real... I clenched my hands and felt something in my right hand. I opened it and found the necklace. She was real. She gave me this. I looked at the cross. Always look what is behind it... I smiled... it couldn't be that easy. I turned the cross around and held my breath when I saw an engraving: "Because he told his angels to look after you wherever you may go."
I shook my head in disbelieve. That was not possible... it just wasn't.
legnA was an Angel!
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
