Edward POV

I limped after Bella slowly, trying to hold my arm still as so not to make my rib twinge. Doctors and nurses hurried around, treating various patients. The emergency department was full to the brim, the noise was thunderous. Bella was limping slightly, and shaking with fear, I looked at my hand and it was shaking too. We followed the nurse for what seemed like hours, weaving in and out of the bustling crowds. Bella was knocked by a man swearing and brandishing a bottle of Vodka, I had the huge urge to break his nose but as I moved my arm forward to do so, the pain in my chest told me not too. The nurse led us to the closed doors of the resuscitation unit that I and Bella had been treated in and we stood in silence as the door creaked open.

Bella POV

The doctor appeared through the door wearing blue scrubs and elbow length surgical gloves. The scrubs reminded me of something, powder blue just like Emmett's shirt. Tears leaked out of the corners of my eyes as I remembered what state I was forced to leave him in, broken and bleeding. The doctor cleared his throat and pulled a sombre look onto his face. Miss Swan? Mr Cullen? How are you? He must have realised the stupidity of his question because he moved on without waiting for an answer. Emmett and Alice are in a bad way I'm afraid, we think it's a good idea for you to come and see them now, if that's okay with you. Edward hobbled forward and the doctor held the door open for us as I followed him through. Bleached white screens had been erected around the beds, there was no movement behind either of them.
