"...So tell me where i went wrong

I'm stuck inside a dream long gone..."

Chapter 6

Bella's POV

There was another flurry of hospital personnel, another stretcher brought to the bed next to me. I recognized Tyler Crowley from my Government class beneath the bloodstained bandages wrapped tightly around his head. Tyler looked a hundred times worse than I felt. But he was staring anxiously at me. His eyes were full of worry and guilt as he stared pleadingly at me.

"Bella, I'm so sorry!" He implored.

"I'm fine, Tyler. I just bumped my head, - you look awful, are you all right?" As we spoke, nurses began unwinding his soiled bandages, exposing a myriad of shallow slices all over his forehead and left cheek. The sight and smell of this blood my my stomach turn, but I ignored it. If I passed out, that would just make the doctors here want to make me stay longer.

He ignored me. "I thought I was going to kill you! I was going too fast, and I hit the ice wrong..." He winced as one nurse started dabbing at his face.

"Don't worry about it; you missed me."

"How did you get out of the way so fast? You were there, and then you were gone..."

"Umm... Edward pulled me out of the way."

"Oh, okay." I sighed in relief, not wanting to go through the conversation a second time. After my half-heart explanation, Tyler seemed to drop it and I was thankful that he did.

"So, Miss Swan," Dr. Cullen said in a remarkably appealing voice, "how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine," I said, for the last time, I hoped. I was getting sick and tired of everyone asking that. How do you feel? Are you okay? Are you in pain? "I know that I am fine. No I don't need an x-ray and yes I am a bit tender." I glared at Carlisle before he asked me the questions I knew where coming. I was suppressed about how much a remembered in my dream life. "Now, I am going to ask if I can go and you are going to say yes and comment about how most of the school is already in the waiting room. I am going to get up from this bed and feel a little dizzy but there's no need to worry because I. AM. FINE."

Deja vu is horrible. I hate it. In fact what I am going through is much worst. So, you couldn't really blame me for snapping.

Carlisle and Edward looked at me with identical confused faces. Before Carlisle said, "Okay you may go. But I want you to take Tylenol for the pain."

I nodded my head and got to my feet. Just as predicted the dizziness took over, I staggered, and Dr. Cullen caught me. "How did you know?" He asked and I shrugged, "I don't think you'd believe me if I told you. Oh don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the super speed or strength."

As i walked away I felt a cold hand grab my elbow and I turned to see Edward, "What?"

"You're going to have to explain to us you know." He said accusingly.

I laughed, I couldn't help it. In my dream our places where reversed- I was the one demanding answers and Edward was the cryptic. "Sorry, but if I remember correctly, when I was the one grilling you for all your secrets and lies you asked if I would let if go and I said no. Then you replied, 'In that case... I hope you enjoy disappointment.'"

I saw his face morph into confusion before I finished, "So i'm taking a leaf out of your book. I can't tell you yet so 'I hope you enjoy disappointment."

The waiting room was more unpleasant than I'd feared. It seemed like every face I knew in Forks was there, staring at me. Charlie rushed to my side; I put up my hands.

"There's nothing wrong with me," I assured him sullenly. I was still aggravated, not in the mood for chitchat.

"What did the doctor say?"

"Dr. Cullen saw me, and he said I was fine and I could go home." I sighed.

Charlie put one arm behind my back, not quite touching me, and led me to the glass doors of the exit. I waved sheepishly at my friends, hoping to convey that they

didn't need to worry anymore. It was a huge relief- the first time I'd ever felt that way - to get into the cruiser.

The drive home was mostly silent until Charlie began talking about how he tried to call mom. However she was still M.I.A.
