Bella POV
Everything hurt.
The kind of hurt where you wished that death would just come and relieve you of the pain.
I had a sharp pain in the back of my head and something was pinning me down. I couldn't see because blood was dripping down from somewhere and over my eyelids. My leg was twisted a an odd angle and my arms felt like jello.
The last thing I remember was an angel's (That angel would be…? Right Edward) voice yelling my name.
I thought death would be peaceful and easy. Well, what I was experiencing right now was nothing close to it.
My mind was foggy and I had trouble focusing on my thoughts.
I felt like I was sinking further and further away into blackness.
My body ached.
Everything hurt.
Why wouldn't I just go?
It hurt.
Edward.
I was all by myself. Nothing made any noise except for the random swish of the tree's and a car rolling by. The street seemed to be deserted. I walked and looked down. I realized I was wearing Edward's sweatshirt and sweatpants. I brought it to my nose and inhaled. It smelt like him. Why was I in Edward's clothes?
"Edward! Where are you?" I called out looking around but seeing nothing but closed stores.
Then out of nowhere, a car came and stopped at a stoplight and then continued to go because the road was clear. But then out of nowhere a car swerved round the corner driving quickly. The car tried to swerve out of the way so that the wild driver wouldn't hit her but the driver appeared to be drunk so he or she just kept going forward. The car that got hit rolled over and back upwards and slammed into a store.
I heard a scream and I ran over to the driver. I tried to find her but I couldn't. Everything was in pieces and I heard the moan of pain from beneath the car. I was petrified and I stood motionless. Finally, I had the sense to grab my cell phone and to call 911 but ambulances were already arriving. Fire trucks and cruisers whose sirens were screeching arrived as well. They immediately hoped out and got the girl out of her car.
I caught a glimpse of her.
She had a huge gash on her forehead and the back of her head was matted with blood. Her leg was twisted at an odd angle and her arms were limp by her side.
The paramedics got the driver got out of the other car and the person only seemed to have a broken arm.
I ran over to the paramedics and asked if the girl who got hit would be alright. The man ignored me while he looked straightforward in the direction of where the two drivers were being strapped to stretchers. He walked by me not even showing any evidence that I had just spoken to him- for his eyes did not even quickly glance at the direction I was standing. He walked over to the girl.
A screech of another car's tires came up from behind me and I heard a voice. "Bella!"
I turned around to see Edward jumping from his car.
"Oh! Edward! You should have seen what happened! The girl! I hope she's alright. Edward-" I stopped as I saw him run by me and up to the girl.
"BELLA! OH GOD! NO! BELLA! WILL SHE BE ALRIGHT?" Edward yelled and looked down at the girl.
"EDWARD! I'M OVER HERE!" I yelled but he didn't turn.
Edward nodded to the paramedic and ran to his car while grabbing out his cell phone and placing it to his ear.
He zoomed off away from me and followed the ambulances that were now leaving.
The dream shifted and I was sitting in a white tense room with wooden maroon chairs and old boring magazines. There was a single plant that brought little color to the room and there was a wooden desk placed in the corner of the area. The only real noise was the ring of a telephone now and again. All that was left was the monotone voices of people who occupied the seats.
"Edward?" I asked looking to my right and seeing him with his head in his hands as Alice comforted him.
"She'll be alright Edward." Alice's voice cracked at the end and she turned into Jasper's shoulder and a muffled sob broke out.
"Edward, it's Bella. She's tough. I know she will be okay." Rosalie sat down on the chair I was sitting in.
"Ahem? Rosalie? You're sitting on me! What are you guys talking about? I am right here! I am fine!" I got up and I passed right through Rosalie's body.
"How do you know?" Edward asked looking up. His eyes were dead cold and he was pale. He looked like if a pencil dropped on him he would shatter into a million pieces.
"Because I know." Rosalie rolled her eyes as if it was an answer. Behind her façade, I could see the slight anxiousness in her eyes as they worried over me. Which made no sense because I was standing right here!
"Rosalie, I can't live without Bella. I have already felt what it is like to be without her for a day! It was AWFUL! If for the rest of my life, I won't be able to survive. I love her Rosalie. She is my everything. I love her more then anything! I can't lose her!" His voice cracked and he bites his lip.
Edward loves me! OH MY GOD! EDWARD LOVES ME! My heart swelled and I looked at him. "I-I love you too Edward!" I tried to reach out to him but an invisible barrier blocked me.
"WHAT HAPPENED!" Emmett yelled barging through the doors suddenly.
What were they talking about? I was right here? Why couldn't they see me? What is happening? Why can't I go over to them? Edward!
Edward looked up at his brother and he threw his head in his hands.
"She was driving home and a car came out of nowhere and smashed into her. Her car rolled over and back up again. It was a drunk driver."
"Is she going to be alright?" Emmett asked his eyes widening.
"Dad is with her now. He said that she has a severe concussion so she shouldn't be waking up for a day or two, her leg is broken, she has a lot of cuts and bruises and she has a huge gash over her eyebrow. She also has a few broken ribs and she has severe whiplash. But he said that she'll recover and be alright." Jasper spoke up.
"I'm right here! What are you talking about?" I tried to yell at them from behind the invisible barrier and I banged my fists on it.
"Hi, Renee?" Alice asked into her phone. "Hi, this is Alice…I'm good how are you ...That's good. I am calling because I wanted to let you know that Bella has gotten into a bad car accident … she will be okay, but she is really injured… it was a drunk driver…yes…Um, well she has a severe concussion and she has a broken leg and a few ribs are broken and lots of cuts and bruises. She won't wake up for a day or so…Okay, see you later. Your welcome. Bye." Alice hung up and sighed. "Bella's parents are coming now."
"Edward?" Esme appeared through the hospital doors. "You can come in now. But only two at a time."
Edward and Alice stood up immediately and rushed to follow Esme.
I tried to follow but I couldn't. Everything went black again.
I don't know if that actually happened but I knew that I loved Edward.
I didn't care is he didn't love me. I loved him. I guess I always did but I never realized it until now.
If only I could wake up so I could tell him!
But, something still seemed to be holding my body down and my eyelids felt like they had boulders upon them.
I'm not sure how long I was swimming through blackness but once in a while I felt a slight pressure in my hand, my lips and on my forehead.
I tried to reach out to whatever it was but everything was black and something was still blocking me.
It was not as bad as before but I still couldn't do anything.
Another minute passes…or another hour…or another day?
Who knew?
You couldn't keep track when all you could see was blackness.
I felt trapped into something and as I continued to try to find a way out.
"Bella? Please Bella! Wake up!" An angel's voice erupted through my ears.
That was the first thing I heard in what seemed like a year.
"Edward!" I tried to call but I couldn't.
"Bella, wake up! For me? Please?" Edward's voice whispered in my ear.
I tried to but I still felt slightly trapped.
It was then that I felt a slight pressure on my lips.
My eyes flew open and I looked up to see Edward's green eyes piercing into mine.
"Edward?" I asked but I couldn't say anything else because every part of me hurt.
"Bella?" Edward asked whipping a tear from my eyelid. "What's wrong."
"It…" A pain shot through me. "H-hurts." I whimpered. My neck ached and my head was pounding. My ribs were sore and I had black and blue splotches on my arms and my leg was leveled.
"CARLISLE!" Edward yelled.
Carlisle rushed into the room at the alarm of Edward's voice.
"Bella!" He looked at me. "You're up!" He paused and studied my face. "Are you in pain?"
No! I feel absolutely fine! I could run a marathon effortlessly right now! I couldn't nod my head because it hurt but I managed a low "yes."
"I'm not surprised. You will be sore for a long time. I'll call the nurse and get you pain medication. It will make you drowsy and you will most likely fall asleep." Carlisle pressed a button next to my bed.
"Hello?" A women's voice rang.
"Can I have some pain medication for Miss Bella Swan, please?" Carlisle asked into the speaker.
"Right away." The nurse responded.
I looked into Edward's eyes.
They were mixed with relief, anxiousness, and stress and also…love?
He looked at me differently then before. He looked at me with something more passionate.
I had seen it emerge into his eyes the past few weeks but right then it had just kind of popped out.
That was the last thing I saw before I fell back into the blackness.
I hadn't even noticed Carlisle had ejected the pain medication into my arm.
The next time I awoke, I was still sore but the pain was more bearable.
"Alice?" I mumbled, my vision focusing on a tiny figure sitting in the chair by my bed.
"Bella!" Alice sighed in relief and got up and hugged me.
"How are you feeling?" Alice asked her eyes roaming over me.
"Sore." I answered. "This bed also isn't the most comfortable thing in the world either."
"I'm just so glad you are okay! You have no idea how worried we all were. Edward didn't leave your side until Esme forced him to go home and take a shower and change. He's going to be mad he wasn't here for when you really woke up. And oh my god! Look at what they are making you wear! That is the ugliest dress! I tried to get the nurse to let me dress you but it was an impossibility considering the state you are in." Alice shook her head in disgust.
"Alice, you would be worrying about my outfit when I was laying unconscious in a hospital bed." I rolled my eyes. "How long exactly, have I been out for?"
"Two days." Alice answered. "You woke up yesterday but you were only up for a few moments and then you zonked out again. You weren't really conscious so it really doesn't count according to Edward so he is still driving us all bonkers!" Alice shook her head.
" 'Is Bella alright?' 'How do you know Alice?' 'When will she wake up?' 'What is she never wakes up?' 'How badly is she hurt?' 'Why hasn't she woken up?' 'Are you sure she is okay?' 'Are you giving her the right medications?' 'Carlisle? Are you sure she is okay?'" Alice intimidated Edward. "It has been a long two days in many ways."
"That sounds like Edward!" I laughed. "Where is everyone?" I asked.
"Renee and Charlie are having lunch with Emmett and Jasper. Rosalie went to go get a coffee. She should be back any ti-." The opening of a door cut off Alice.
"Bella!" Rosalie gasped and ran over to me. "You're up! Oh my gosh! Bella, you have no idea how worried I was!" Rosalie had a tear sliding down her face. "We thought we lost you!"
"You can't lose me that easily." I answered.
"Do you remember anything that happened?" Alice asked curiously as Rosalie finished hugging me.
"I remember talking to Edward and then a car came out of nowhere and slammed into the side of my car before I could swerve out of the way. Then, my head smashed against the car seat and I was pinned down by something and I heard my leg pop and my ribs crack. Then blood spilled from no where and I black-out after that." I explained. "What is the verdict?"
"You had a severe concussion, whiplash, broken ribs and a broken leg, bumps and bruises. You also have a lovely cut above your eyebrow." Rosalie explained.
"Anything else?" I asked.
"I don't think so." Alice answered.
"Do you guys know who the person in the other car was?" I asked curiously.
"It was a drunk driver." Alice informed me.
"Is he or she alright?" I asked.
"Oh, she is just fine." Rosalie muttered darkly.
"Rose, you don't know if she did it on purpos-" Alice started.
"Who was the driver?" I asked confused.
"Don't tell Edward, okay Bella?" Alice said.
"Who?" I asked.
"It was a women with red hair, annoying snotty voice, stuck-up, jerk face and quite frankly we all hate her guts." Rosalie shrugged.
"Oh, well I think that narrows it down." I answered.
Alice nodded. "Victoria Smith."
