Enjoy and leave me a review (by the way yes the dream(s) are important clues however Gemma doesn't realize that fact for now) also just to clear up any confusion chapter 10 was all a dream and yes there is a reason for it as well =) All questions will be answered, simply continue reading.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

After about ten minutes Bella spoke up, "Gem, we're at the hospital." Groaning softly I reached for the door handle to get out my eyes still closed as the black spots had grown larger. I managed to open the door and went to get out however I had forgotten to undo the belt and it cut into my skin causing the stitches that ran horizontally over my collarbone in two lines on my left side and the stitches on my right side that ran horizontally from my belly button to my waist to rip. Yelping in pain I dropped back into the seat my eyes having flown open at the pain and I looked down at my white T-shirt for a second nothing happened and then, making the red flames darken, my blood seeped out of my torn stitches. I heard Bella gasp as she had still been inside the cab and had turned to me when she heard me yelp while Charlie who had already gotten out of the car immediately demanded to know what was wrong.

I took in a long breath through my nose before letting it out of my mouth slowly, unbuckling my seat-belt I got out of the cab and apologized to the cab driver for the small bit of blood that had gotten on the back seat before shutting the door. Bella hurried out of the other side and circled the cab quickly however she was beat out by a familiar pale face with deep blue eyes that were filled with concern and fear. "Jasper." I said surprised and confused as to why he was here and then I remembered that Bella had called him…"How did Bella get his number anyway?...unless she read my people book. Oh that girl is gonna get it!" I thought the flair of anger that came with it giving me the strength I needed to push off from the taxi and stand up straight. However it soon left and I saw the pavement getting closer and swirling around in circles when I heard several voices all holler my name at the same time. As the darkness once again pulled me under my last thought was, "Oh crap not again!"

The pleasant and unmistakable smell of coffee caused my eyes to fly wide open and I was pleasantly surprised to see a large cup with the label for Starbucks on it being held in-front of my face. As I reached up to take it I saw a face that looked vaguely familiar, "Who are you? I've seen you before." I told the guy as I brought the coffee to my nose to sniff it as I pushed the button to get my bed into a sitting up position before lowering it to my mouth and taking a small sip. I felt my eyes widen a bit, surprised because it was one of my favorite drinks from Starbucks but it was made exactly how I liked it which was strange because only Bella knew exactly how I took my Guatemala Casi Cielo Espresso with white chocolate swirls and four flavor shots of maple and vanilla with French vanilla creamer. Pursing my lips I lowered the cup and raised an eyebrow as I looked up at the guy, "Who are you and what do you want?" I asked I knew a bribe when I tasted one.

I took in the room around me and was not surprised to find myself in another hospital room and as I looked down I felt my face scrunch, yet another hospital gown. "Leave her alone she just woke up!" Bella said from where she stood on the right side of my hospital bed, I grinned over at her feeling a bit loopy from whatever pain medicine they were pumping into me,

"Aw it's okay hun. I'm never too far gone for a good stripper. Besides he brought my favorite espresso." I said happily. There was silence in the room and I felt Bella and the guy staring at me so I turned to the guy a little confused.

"What? Aren't you Carlo from Fallen Saints Strip club?" I swear the guy's face went ten different shades of colors all at once as he shook his head no so fast I heard a light popping noise come from it before finding his voice and loudly and firmly saying, "NO!" After taking a deep breath he spoke again,

"You were pretty banged up when we met. I'm FBI Special Agent Andrew Cusher, my partner, Special Agent Larison is currently talking to your dad. We were a part of the team that found you. I'm here because we need to ask you some questions." He said, having gestured to his partner who had just entered the room with Charlie.

"Then talk, I'm not moving, Bella and Charlie aren't leaving and I feel like I could take a jump and fly to Mars. So everything's good with me." I said taking another sip of the coffee. He looked taken aback for a few seconds before his face smoothed out and he nodded,

"Very well then. Let me make sure you are cleared by the Doctor for questions." He said and I nodded watching him go over to his partner. I was surprised to see Charlie's normally calm face have a red tint to it as he appeared quiet angry with whatever he and Special Agent Larison had been talking about.

When both Special Agents left the room Charlie came marching over to Bella and I, "Gemma don't say anything to those two no matter what, to think that they wa-!" Charlie began to say before cutting himself off, he let out a loud sigh and ran a hand over his face and hair.

"Just don't say anything to either of them. Oh and the Police from Phoenix are here to take your statement. Renee is here to." Charlie said. I felt my body tense violently at his words I felt sick and put the coffee down on the stand beside the bed, my hand shaking a bit as my nerves got the better of me.

"Well that's one way to bring me down off a high." I muttered, I heard Bella snort and turned a mock glare on her before giving her a smile and then turning back to Charlie.

"So what do the Doctors say and when will I be allowed to go home?" I asked Charlie really hoping a fast answer however seeing the muscle in his jaw work I knew the answer. "So it's gonna be a while huh?" I asked with a sigh relaxing fully back against the pillow.

"From what the doctor told me you shouldn't have been allowed to travel, three broken ribs, a fractured in your left shoulder blade, two broken toe's on your right foot and one on your left, not to mention the multiple knife wounds that were stitched up and bruises all over your body." Charlie said.

"Really? Wow I can't feel anything right now." I said not really surprised by the amount of broken bone's but not wanting him to realize that I was used to having broken bones, after whoever had been holding me before hadn't taken it easy on me.

"Oh yeah, I thought I heard Jacob, Quill and Embry holler my name whenever I fainted. Are they still here? Or was I hallucinating?" I asked curious. Bella and Charlie exchanged a quick look before Bella spoke up,

"Yeah as it turns out the FBI had told Renee who had called Billy who told Henry and Jacob who told Quill and Embry and then Jasper must have talked to Renee so they all came to the hospital to see you and then-"

"And then I proceeded to faint headfirst because of a blond moment with a seatbelt." I said finishing Bella's train of thought with a sigh. "So can I have visitors?" I asked curious.

"Actually the Phoenix Police don't want you talking to anybody however it seems like the FBI wants to talk to you to so they are both waiting for their superiors to get back to them. Until then the only people allowed to see you are me, Bells and Renee." Charlie said.

I pursed my lips, "Oh. Well would you two mind leaving and asking Renee to come in real quick?" I asked.

"I'm NOT leaving you here alone with with her." Bella spit out viciously surprising me a little by all her anger.

"Neither am I!" Charlie stated angrily crossing his arms over his chest a look of anger in his eyes.

"Thanks for the thought Bells, dad but honestly Renee isn't going to hurt me, and Bell's as much as I don't get along with her it's not because of her that these things happened okay? She's probably freaking out right now and no matter what she's still my mother and I want to protect her. So please send her in here by herself." I said picking my coffee back up and taking another sip.

There was silence except for the steady beeping noise of the machine's for a minute or two as Bella and Charlie remained stubborn before finally with an explosive sigh from Bella and a small nod from Charlie both of them left my hospital room. I set my coffee back down and ran my hands over my face and back up through my hair before scrubbing my eyes and planting a blank look on my face knowing Renee would need me to be strong for her.

I closed my eyes and inhaled and then let it out slowly snapping my eyes opened as the door to my hospital room opened and a single shivering figure filled it. "Renee."
