Last chapter

"Jay Calander is Thomas Calander's son. They are ancient…Wizards." Alice spoke the word so quietly that I had to read her lips and I didn't believe what I saw at all.

I started at the three of the in shook. What where they talking about? And I thought that my fairytale book was just about finished and close to the happily ever after. But now Wizards? And why would Edward be so upset about this?

The room began to spin even more and my head started to throb with pain, then suddenly, everything went black.

The muffled voice of someone woke me instantly…so I thought. I tried very hard to open my eyes and see the people around me and where I had been brought to. But something inside of me told me not to.

I laid motionless on something hard, trying to remember what happened and how I must had blacked out.

The pain in my head returned quickly when I tried opening my eyes again. The bright light blinded me and I began to feel very hot.

All I could do was think since my vocal cords weren't working either. What happened at lunch just a few minutes ago was unbelievable. Why had my life become just a big fairytale? I thought all I had to worry about was about the others…the Vampires that weren't like my new family. But now I have to worry about something else? And Was Jay really any trouble to me? Because he seemed very polite talking to me in the class room.

My eyes became light and my head wasn't pounding as fast anymore. I began to open my eyes. The light was still bright but not as blinding as the last time. My eyes fluttered open slowly and my world became clear again.

Just everything was different now; the white walls and the funny smell made me want to cry.

"Ed…ward?" I called quietly searching for him with my voice. I knew that it was too soon to sit up so I laid perfectly still on the white sheets…where was I?

"Shhh, Bella go back to sleep." It was Edward. But he sounded different also; I could tell that he didn't really want me to disappear into a world of darkness again away from him again. I smiled and then tried hard to speak again. This time I had better success.

"No, I don't want to sleep. Where am I Edward?" I asked him. This time I did sit up and the room became clearer to me. I was in the Forks community Hospital. "What happened to me?"

"You must had fainted and then fell backwards, I'm sorry Bella I tried to catch you but…I was too late. You hit you head on the edge of the table behind us. Thankfully Jasper had hunted the night before, he ran to the bathroom though." I touched my head to where the strongest point of pain was.

"How bad is it?" I asked Edward. I could tell that it was only us two in the one of 37 rooms.

"You bled for what seemed like forever, but it stopped not to long ago. Carlisle said that you would be just fine, thank God. " I looked around the room searching for a clock to answer my question.

"It's just about 3:00. Now go back to sleep Bella, your safe. I promise you."

"But Edward, I have one more question." Edward rolled his eyes at the fact that I had one more question.

"What is it Bella?" He came closer to me and the bed.

"You said that Jay was a…Wizard. What did you mean by that…and your face Edward! You looked so sad…why where you sad? And are you ok now?"

"Bella! Slow down, and that was more than just one question. I will answer all of your questions when we get you out of here and back at the house. But for right now, you need your rest." Edward leaned over and kissed me lightly on my now rosy cheek.

"Ok…But…"Before I could finish my eyes feel shut and I feel into a deep sleep. But before I feel unconscious I heard one thing.

"Thank you Jasper." It was Edward; and he was thanking Jasper for making me fall asleep.

A few hours later

I finally woke up; this time I felt better in Edward's arms tight around me than lying in a hard white bed. We were at his house and in Edward's room.

"Good morning sleepy head." Edward helped me sit up.

"It's morning?" I asked. My head still hurt slightly but definitely not as bad as the time I hit it on the edge of the table. I looked to my side out Edward's window…it wasn't morning. It was more like afternoon.

"Well it's just about one…but I can pretend its morning." His cool finger's touched my head and then the skin underneath his fingertips went numb. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel better now. But I'm kind of hungry." I could feel my stomach grumble.

"I bet you are! What would you like to eat?" Suddenly something hit me harder than the table had…not physically but, what did Edward say to Charlie if I was at his house and haven't been home for two day. And what about school?

"Anything, but Edward what did you tell Charlie about this and I need to go to school." I attempted to get up from the bed and run to find close to ware beside Pajamas but Edward's strong arms caught me and wouldn't let me free.

"You're not going anywhere, school can wait. Everyone knows that you cut your head and that you where going to be out of school and as for Charlie; we told him that Carlisle needed to keep an eye on you and he would be happy to keep you here inside of the hospital. You weren't very happy to be there." Edward laughed and then picked me up softly.

"Now…we must feed you before your stomach decides to come and eat me!" I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah because it always does that…I mean my stomach always loves eating you!" He carried me downstairs and into his kitchen. It seemed warmer and brighter than normal, and it made me feel happy to be here with Edward and not at home. I would've been all alone.

He sat me down at the table and scrambled through the kitchen searching for something for me.

"Edward if you don't have anything it's alright. I should have food at home." I called over to him.

"Bella, I'm taking care of you today. You're not going home and here's something right here." Edward pulled out a large turkey that would have been used for a thanksgiving diner.

"Edward! I can't eat all of that, and that will take forever to cook…I'm really hungry." I said to him. He smiled and then continued what he was doing. Edward walked back to the refrigerator and grabbed out stuffing and other supplies to feed an army.

"Don't worry Bella; it will be ready in 5 minutes top." Edward place the large turkey in the oven and then came back to sit next to me at the table. He stared into my eyes for what seemed forever, he finally broke the current between us when he asked me a question.

"I'm surprised you aren't over loading me with billions of questions yet. What's wrong?"

"What? Nothing's wrong, I just got lost for a second, but you just reminded me of all of my billions of questions…where should I start?"

"Well, first you need to eat, but then I can tell you everything." Edward stood up and when he opened the oven the large turkey was now golden brown and smelled almost as good as Edward did on a bad day, but it still smelt delicious.

"It's done?"

"I told you, I may be able to run fast and read minds but I can also cook a frozen turkey in a heartbeat." Edward made a plate for me and then served me the turkey. And it was even better than I thought.

"This is really good." I said sadly. Edward just had to be good at everything when I was only good at hurting myself.

"I love you." He leaned over towards me and kissed my cheek. "You're good at everything in my eyes, and never forget that." He leaned back up and let me finish eating my turkey which suddenly became very difficult.

"I love you too." I finished my first meal in a few days and felt a lot better. Edward still wouldn't believe me enough to take me back to school so we stayed at his house…all day.

Edward kept me very close the rest of the day; the most we did was watch TV and play some board game. Hint: NEVER play a board game with your boyfriend…who's also a vampire, they are not a big fan of losing. So they may just cheat! But besides the killer board games and the constant criticizing about the colorful box in his living room; I had an amazing time just…doing nothing with Edward. It was the best time of the day.

But, soon the sun started to set behind the gray clouds and I knew that I would have to leave Edward soon. Charlie called at the Cullen's house at 7:00 and asked me to come home.

"Edward's going to give me a ride home is that ok?" I really didn't want to leave Edward now; my questions about Jay weren't satisfied since they weren't talked about in the relaxing just Edward and me evening. I hadn't even thought about where the rest of the gang was.

"That's fine Bella, see you soon. I love you." Charlie hung up and I did as well.

"How are you feeling?" Edward asked me calmly. The cut on my head must have affected him more than I thought. I knew by the red stain on my American Eagle shirt that I must have bleed badly. Did I put Edward in any harm by hurting myself?

"Fine but Edward, when I fainted at school…how bad was it?" I could tell by the way his head held that something was different than normal. That maybe there was pain, but not physical, written all over his face; pain that I wasn't even clear about.

"You are fine now, that's that matters are you ready to go home now?" Edward slid his cold hand in mine and began walking to the door but stopped when I started to laugh.

"But you have been avoiding the least of my questions Edward, what about…?" I tried to talk fast because I knew that I would be interrupted but I wasn't fast enough.

"Bella I will be up in your room all night, I can answer questions later but for right now I have to get you home to your father before he starts to go crazy."

"Ok." I sighed and fallowed Edward out the door and to the shinny clean Volvo. Then…we where off to Charlie's house, so he could see that I was alright from my recent but not last injury.

A/N- Sorry that this took a long time! I have been gone a lot this summer so I'm having some trouble updating everything. Well…TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! In other words, please review my story! Thanks to everyone!
