Chapter 52
Alive
Bella's POV
The only noise I could hear was the sound of machines beeping beside me. Other than that, all was silent. My body felt stiff and worn out. There was no pain, except for the hard grip someone had on my hand. My eyes wouldn't open. It felt as though someone had glued them shut. I knew someone had just walked into the room, because I heard the sound of a door closing. The mysterious person let out a long, troubled sigh before moving around the room. There was a light fragrance of vanilla moisturiser filling the air along with the smell of roses.
"Edward" A soft whisper said from beside me as the weight of a small person sat on the bed I was lying in. "You need to go home and get some rest." I knew it was Alice speaking to Edward. I heard some grumbling before someone placing their hot lips against my forehead.
"I'll be back soon, love" Edward whispered to me. "Alice will stay with you while I'm gone"
As soon as the door closed behind Edward, Alice started talking. "Please wake up soon, Bella" Alice said. "I don't even want to imagine what will happen to Edward if he loses you"
I internally sighed, knowing he would probably never eat or sleep again. I didn't want him to end up like that. But I just couldn't find the strength to wake myself up from this coma. I felt Alice's warm hands in mine as she continued walking.
"Please wake up" Alice pleaded. It was obvious that she was crying since she started sniffing. "Or at least show some sort of sign to tell us that you can hear us?" I, once again, tried to open my eyes. But it didn't work; so I tried to wriggle my fingers. I knew it was a success when Alice let out a small gasp.
"I knew you would be ok, Bella" She laughed happily. "Edward will be so relieved to know that you're ok"
Alice sat there for a while without saying a single word. But when she started talking, I was suddenly extremely intrigued into what she was saying.
"I know Edward wouldn't have told you this" Alice said. "But he's fallen for you. Hard. Everything he says and does is done with a smile. Before you came into his life he was a cold hearted killer who didn't even think about having a family and a wife in his future"
I smiled at that and suddenly realised, for myself, that Edward really had changed dramatically over the past year that we had been together.
"You've made him so happy" Alice said happily, though still silently crying. "Seeing him happy, makes us happy as well" I knew Alice had never opened up about this before. I felt the hot tears falling from her face dripping onto my hand which she clutched to her chest.
"Please wake up, Bella" Alice begged. "I'd do anything to see Edward happy again"
Jasper's POV
He wasn't only my boss. He was also one of my best friends. Whenever I needed a favour, he would always be there to help me. And seeing him like this comes as a big shock to both Emmett and I. Edward had killed and tortured people; yet none of that had affected him the way this situation did. When he killed someone, he would never show his true feelings about it. But seeing Bella in hospital, hurt, really did bring out the soft side of the intimidating, ruthless mafia boss.
Bella was the one thing that meant the world to Edward. I knew that if he lost her, he would never be the same again. She was the one who could bring out the soft side in Edward. Edward had never let any girl in like this before. Alice was the closest thing he had to a sister, and even she wasn't able to get Edward to open up to her.
My phone started to buzz on my desk at my office. I read the caller I.D and saw that it was Alice. I instantly answered it, knowing that she was going to try and get Edward to go home today. Edward hadn't left Bella's side in more than a week. Everyone was started to get extremely worried about him. He hardly ever ate anything. He's showered only twice this week and very rarely makes any contact with anyone outside the hospital grounds.
"Hello, darling" I said in my southern accent, knowing she loves it. Alice had always had a thing for southern men.
"Edward should be home now" She explained. I frowned and was suddenly taken back by her words.
"Wait. You actually managed to get him to go home?" I asked.
"Of course I did" She said. "I can be very persuasive at times" I smiled and agreed with her. I had lost count on how many times Alice had persuaded me to do things that she wanted. I picked up my car keys and grabbed my jacket, which hung on the back of my office chair.
"I'll go over and make sure he's ok" I said. "What time did the taxi pick him up?"
"Probably about half an hour ago" She said. I nodded before taking the phone away from my ear to hang up when she started talking again.
"Ok. I can't take this any longer. I need to tell someone" Alice gushed suddenly as I was about to hang up. "Bella moved her hand today" I gasped and nearly dropped the phone. Bella had been in a coma for more than four weeks now. The doctors thought she wasn't going to make it, but Edward wouldn't let them turn off her life support.
"But don't tell Edward, Jazzy" Alice begged. "Make sure he's eaten, changed, showered and slept before you tell him" I agreed before hanging up and making my way over to Edward and Bella's place, expecting to find the worse.
