Chapter 7

BPOV

Beep. beep. beep

My goodness what is that sound? My head is about to pop from an ache and there is this beeping sound adding salt to the injury. I slowly opened my eyes and tried to move slowly to be more comfortable but what assaulted me was an extreme burst of pain coming from different parts of my body. Goodness!

"Bella? Bella, I am here. Aro, please notify the doctor" said that soothing voice.

"Uhm..Edwaarrd?" I croaked. I literally sounded like a frog. Haha!

"Yes. It's me. How are you? Tell me what you feel. Are you in pain? Can you move? Do you want water or food?" Edward bombarded me with the series of questions.

"What happened? Why am I in a hospital feeling like I have been ran through by a freight train?" I asked.

"You had an accident. Good thing, it was not freight train you bumped into. The other driver was fine with just a few bruises. However, your car bumped strongly on the big tree on the side of the road causing far worse injury and a concussion. You were unconscious for two days." His brows are knitted together due to anxiety.

"Oh…" I croaked. Then, it came flooding back to me; the conversation, the snake, the disappearance of the wounds, the story and the curse. Fear and anxiety started to creep into my system. My face must have reflected it because Edward's face was reflected angst and anger.

"It's true? All of it?" I muttered.

"Yes. This is why you must not be with me. You must avoid me forever. We can't be friends because this will cause you harm. This will cause you something bad." He was pulling his hair out of frustration for this out of hand situation.

"What if I can't go away from you? What if I want to help you?"

"You can't. You can't do this. This is not such a good idea." He shook his head like this was a crazy thig to talk about.

"I just want to help. Nothing more. Just help. You are a great person and I want you to get out from this evil thing" I explained.

"Haven't you remembered what put me in this situation? I am a liar. I am a cheater. I hurt people that's why I am here in this situation."

"That was in the past. You are not like that. You won't help me if you are like that until now. People make mistakes. That's what makes you human." I argued back.

He just shook his head as if trying to remove a stupid idea from his head.

"No. Please no," he muttered.

"Am I now part of the curse? Tell me. Am I the next woman?" I questioned him.

"No. Because, I haven't heard the words from you"

"Words?"

"Yes. The three words people in love say to each other."

"Oh!? I lo.."

"Stop! Don't say it. In my experience, when the woman tells me those words, it starts the countdown to her death. So, don't you dare say it." His eyes were begging but his voice was demanding.

I just nodded to him. Aro came bustling into the room with a doctor. The doctor checked my vitals. It turned out that I need to rest for a week due to the damage on my left foot. I need to use wheel chair or crutches to support myself.

"Bella, Edward already informed the school about the accident and your condition and they agreed that you need to recover well. But, who will be with you at home during your recovery?" Aro asked me.

"I can handle myself Aro. Thank you for your concern."

"I don't think so. Edward, I think she needs help. Maybe she should call her family to inform them"

"No! Please don't do that. I don't want to be a problem to them. My family is now trying to settle. This is not big of a trouble."

I can see Aro's eyes laced with worry about my condition.

Silence laced the room for a few seconds and then Aro spoke.

"Edward, I think we should help her. It is best if she would stay in your home during recovery since there is nothing to hide anymore. She knows everything. You warned her about the words she can't utter."

Edward's eyes looked at me as if trying to decipher my thoughts.

"I agree." He said after a few moments.

"You don't have to do this. I don't want to be a charity case to you." I said to him.

"You are not a charity case. Aro is right. I am also responsible for the accident. It was me why you went there and why you drove in that state. We will assist you. Let us do this. You know everything now. No need to shy away." Edward told me making me see the reasons to convince me.

"Alright." I simply answered.

_0_

I got out of the hospital after two days. The doctor told me that I need to rest my foot to ensure proper healing.

Edward drove me to my house first to get some clothes during my stay in his. Jane helped me packed my clothes and basic needs. She also told me that I would be using the guess room in the first floor to avoid the stairs.

Jane helped me settled into the room while Aro prepared the dinner. Edward was in his room probably thinking about the situation. I am just an additional burden to him. I felt sleepy after a while and took a nap because of this.

EPOV

Am I really this stupid?

I was afraid that Bella would be part of the curse but here I am inside my room after bringing her into my house to stay because of her injuries caused by discovering my secret.

Crap! Stupid Edward.

But, she needs help. She doesn't have anybody with her right now. Who will help her move, prepare food and do things she needs while she is recovering? What if she gets caught up with this and suddenly utters the words that will mark her sure death. Bella doesn't deserve this. She shouldn't be included in my mistakes. But, I can't help it.

Her presence makes me alive.

She makes me want to live my life. What is happening to me?

BPOV

Knock… knock…

"Bella, let's go to the dining table for dinner." I heard Edward say outside the door.

"Okay. I'm coming." I stumbled on getting my crutches. I opened the door and was surprised on seeing Edward still waiting for me.

"I think it would be better to go with you to avoid further accidents" he told me after seeing my face that probably reflects questions.

"Oh! Thank you. We don't want another accident that will cause extension of stay" I replied. After realizing what I just said "I don't mean that I don't like staying here. I just mean that I don't want further accident. It's not easy to move like this and of course I don't like to bother you more and more."

"I understand Bella." He snickered towards my obvious word vomit.

We walked towards the dining room. Well, he walked while I almost crawled to make it easier for me. I sat opposite of him. We were about to start dinner when we heard a booming voice entering the house.

"Hey, Eddie! You are getting a visit from your best friend. I am here! Oh Fuck!" He was so shocked to see me just like Jane and Aro when they saw me the first time.

"My goodness, Emmett. You are acting like a kid! Shit!" A blonde woman also got shocked seeing me but she was the one to recover.

"My goodness Edward! Another one? I told you to stay away from situations like this. How many days left? I need to set up the things. Edward, this is really such a bad thing." The blonde said like she was going to face a big problem soon.

"Rosalie, Emmett it's not like that. Bella is not part of it." Edward told them.

"At least not yet." I heard Jane mumbled.

"What do you mean? Why is she here? Why is she injured?" Rosalie bombarded Edward with questions while Emmett is still looking at me as if I am in a worst-case scenario.

"She knows about the curse, yes. But, she is not part of it. She got into an accident and I want to help her."

"Hey! I am here. Don't talk as if I am not here. I want to help Edward. I know about that evil curse and the conditions. Please don't talk like that about me" I defended myself.

"Bella, I am sorry. You should know why they are reacting like this. This is Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie. Rosalie is a doctor and she assists the other people who got included into the curse." Edward explained almost dejectedly.

"It's not easy to look at them and not help them at all. It's like preparing them for their burial." Her voice was full of fear and hurt.

"Baby, please. She is not part" Emmett held her hand trying to relax her.

Rosalie let out a huge breath and nodded. Edward asked Aro and Jane to bring plates and utensils for the two. Dinner feels uneasy at most. But, I can see that Emmett has this jolly nature trying to lighten the mood by telling funny stories.

I caught Rosalie staring at me probably thinking how stupid I am or probably how will she "prepare me for my burial".

Rose and Emmett will be staying for a few days but they are booked in a hotel. They went to visit and surprise Edward but I guess they were more surprised than he was. I am going to the kitchen to get cold water when I heard Emmett and Edward talking on the porch.

"Em, I don't know what to do. Tell me."

"Edward, I don't like where this is going. I can see how you look at her and how you take care of her. She moves you move. I know she is aware of the conditions but I don't feel good about this"

"I can't just let her be alone at her house with crutches and can't barely stand and walk" he defended

"Just make sure that this is not just an excuse bro. You know what happens if she falls in love with you. I can sense your connection to her. I am just reminding you of the grim possibilities" Emmett replied to him.

"I know Em. I don't want to include her. I feel different with her" he murmured.

What does he mean?
