Chapter 53

Waking Up

Bella's POV

I had no idea that I had been asleep for so long. Edward talked to me for long periods of time about stuff that had been going on while I had been away. Alice and Rose would sometimes come in and talk to me about the shopping trips that they were already planning for when I woke up. I especially wanted to wake up when Emmett would come in and talk to me. He would talk about all of the past activated we've done together and about our parents. I've never seen Emmett so emotional before. It broke my heart to hear all about the difficulties he was going through. Yet, I couldn't seem to find the strength to wake up and tell him that everything would be ok.

"Hey Bells" Emmett whispered a couple of minutes after Edward left. "I've missed you. I never realised how much of an impact you have on my life" He sat there for a while not saying a single thing. It was obvious that he was crying as there were hot tears splashing on my hand.

"I miss your midnights calls when all you want to do is find out how my day went" He said as he choked out a laugh from deep in his chest. I felt his lips being pressed on the top of my hand.

"I was going to propose to Rose the night you were shot" Emmett said. "I had picked up the phone, ready to call you, when Edward phoned to tell me what had happened"

"I thought I had lost you" He mumbled as he gripped my hand tightly as though I was going to leave him.

"Please wake up" Emmett begged as more tears fell from his eyes. "I can't do this without you. You're what holds me together"

"Please don't let me go through this on my own" He cried into my side.

This made me even more determined to wake up and make everything right again. I actually wanted to go shopping with Rose and Alice. That's how much I missed them. I missed turning over and seeing Edward lying there sound asleep next to me. I missed Emmett's crazy jokes and his cuddly hugs that he gave.

Edward's POV

I was now dressed in a clean pair of clothes with my teeth brushed and my cell phone in my hand. Mafia organisations all over the world had heard what had happened to my Bella and were constantly calling and texting me to see if there was any news on Bella yet. My father and mother, who had flown in from Chicago yesterday to see Bella, were constantly on their cell phones to making sure that the press weren't making up any stories like I was the one who shot Bella. If I read a newspaper that said that on the front page I wouldn't think twice about hunting down the bastard who wrote it.

We had decided to go down to the cafeteria to let lunch when my cell phone rang. I pulled it out of my pants pocket and saw that it was Alice.

"Hello" I said in a confused voice knowing that I had only talked to Alice about five minutes ago back in Bella's hospital room.

"Edward, Bella's heart rate's increasing" Alice said softly. "They said that they think she's trying to wake herself up" I jumped to my feet and started sprinting off towards Bella's room with my parents behind me.

As I came up to Bella's room I threw open the door to find doctors crowding around Bella's bed. I pushed past everyone and looked over to Bella. Only to find her staring straight back at me.
