A feeling of impending doom settled in Betty before she even decided to open her eyes. The girl recalled passing out and she was almost 100% sure it was due to overusing magic rather than the accident. She also remembers being hostile to Edward Cullen before passing out and blamed him for her unconsciousness since her attempts to persuade him took away her remaining energy.

"Please tell me I'm dead," Betty whispered, wondering if Edward caught her as she fell.

"You are very much alive, Ms. Swan." Betty peeked open one eye to see Dr. Cullen. "I'm very baffled as to how you managed to hide your injury from us. Although it was due to stress and exhaustion that you fainted, there was no sign of a concussion or any other injury except the bump on your head."

"Well, Dr. Cullen keep your son away from me lest I die from embarrassment." Betty drawled, trying to keep her mind off the fact that she probably suffered from overusing her magic.

"Ah, yes he told me about your little outburst," Dr. Cullen informed her. "Has he done anything to you to earn that reaction?" He asked.

"No," Betty answered quickly. "I'm just weird like that. Ask anyone how anti... People I am." Betty subconsciously moved farther away from the doctor when he took a step closer to the bed.

"I'll take your word for it," Dr. Cullen smiled at her and took a step back, not wanting to cause her any discomfort.

"When will I be able to go?"

"We're thinking about keeping you here for a little while longer to be on the safe side." Dr. Cullen informed her. "Then, you'll be able to go and make sure you have plenty of rest."

"Dr. Cullen I'm fi-" The second she, idiotically, tried to use magic to persuade him, a rush of dizziness swept over her. Betty could feel her eyes almost roll to the back of her head and she fell back onto the hospital bed.

"Ms. Swan, I can assure you," Dr. Cullen gave her a meaningful look after his attempts to help her up were dodged. "You will be fine after a long rest and a few more test, but as of now you need to calm down." Betty huffed in a childish manner and nodded her head.

"Do you think I can get some water?" Betty mumbled after finally backing down. Dr. Cullen smiled genuinely at her and the girl wondered when the Cullen's were blessed by Aphrodite.

"Here," The man handed her a cup of water and Betty thankfully drank it. "I'm going to go update your father on your condition. Call for one of the nurses if something is wrong, alright?" Betty sent him a thumbs up.

As the good doctor left, Betty felt another ripple of fatigue wash over her and she couldn't help the yawn that escaped her mouth.

"Elizabeth?"

Betty's yawn was cut short and quickly morphed into a groan. She did not understand how such a melodic voice could bring such exasperation to her.

"Yes, Edward?" Betty whispered, not bothering to tell the boy to call her by her nickname.

"I just wanted to check on you."

"Well, here I am. You can go now." Betty shooed him away but the Adonis stayed where he was. The curiosity in his dark eyes made Betty feel uncomfortable. She felt like he was trying to pry her head open to find out what was wrong with her. Literally. The mental barriers in her mind felt like they were being brushed and it took everything in her to keep them as strong as ever.

"I am sorry for not noticing the state you were in sooner." Edward apologized, bringing his focus back to Betty and off her mind. The young witch felt herself relax slightly as she shrugged.

"It wasn't your fault, Edward. No one noticed. I am very good at hiding things." Regret instantly filled her as the words left her mouth. Edwards interest peaked and he once again his black eyes peered into hers.

"Yes, how did you manage to do that?" He wondered.

"Maybe everyone is just incompetent." Betty mumbled.

"But you managed to slip past even my father. He's one of the best doctors Forks has seen." Those piercing eyes kept the hairs on Betty's arms upright. She didn't think she'd be able to stand this for much longer. His persistence irked her but more importantly his presence brought out this fear that had her on edge, especially with her being in such a weak state. "I think there's more to the story than you are letting on."

"Well, I could say the same for you." Betty's gaze matched his own. "You were across the parking lot with your siblings and suddenly you were next to Bella, pushing that big ass van with enough force to leave a dent on both the van and the truck." Betty did a long sweeping look over his body. "And I don't see anything wrong with you."

"You and your sister are seeing things." Edward grounded out.

"I'm sure you are right just like I'm sure that you didn't notice anything wrong with me because you weren't paying attention. Same goes for your dad. Right?" The implications were clear. She wasn't going to make a big deal out of anything if he didn't make a big deal out of anything. No more questions asked.

"You are completely right. How silly of me to make assumptions like that."

"Exactly."

The door swung open and Bella walked in. Surprise marred her features while exasperation took over Betty.

"Thanks for the wishes on my health, Edward." The cheerful smile was in no way real but neither teen called her out.

"You're welcome, Elizabeth." He sent a flashing smile that was blindingly fake and made his leave. Betty noticed the questions in Bella's eyes and how her sister looked like she was about to follow the boy.

"Bella," Betty called out, stopping her sister from following the Adonis. "Do you think you could wait with me?" A pitiful look took over the young girls face.

"Of course. Do you need me to get you anything?" Bella asked.

"No, I just don't want to be alone." It was true. There were things that go bump in the night in this hospital. She knew it. The Cullens were proof of that. She didn't know what they were yet so she couldn't protect herself. Betty wouldn't be able to sleep alone knowing that and she was exhausted.

"Okay, I'll wait here." Bella took the seat next to her hospital bed.

"Thanks." Betty felt herself relax and sink more comfortably into the bed.

"I didn't know Edward found you." Bella whispered. "One of the nurses told me. I was really surprised. I had been trying to find him so we could talk." Bella school her head. "What did you two talk about? Betty?"

The young Swan had already fallen into a deep sleep.
