So here is the next chapter and the last chapter in Edward's POV. I have the rest of the story written out. So the story sadly will be coming to an end in a few more chapters. But I do have stuff written for another one! yay! So yes here is the last chapter in EPOV. I hope you enjoy.
"I love you," I heard her whisper.
"Bella? Are you up?" I asked making sure she wasn't talking in her sleep.
"Yes I am. Can you please help me?" I quickly kissed her eyes knowing that's what she wanted. "Thank you. I've been waiting for you." She smiled.
"I'm sorry. They made me go home and sleep."
"It's fine. You need to sleep. I'm just glad you are here now."
I kissed her forehead. "Me too. Are you feeling better?"
"Yes. My head doesn't hurt and my ribs aren't that bad. I just wish I could stop having nightmares." I tried to tell if she was just saying that to make me feel better but I believe she was telling the truth.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked hoping she'd say no.
She shook her head. "I just want you to be here with me. And I want you to distract me." She said in a playful voice.
"And how am I suppose to do that?"
"Kiss me."
"What if your dad walks in?" I said shocked.
"I'll deal with him." She said seriously.
"Bella…"
"Edward. I love you. Now kiss me!" She demanded. I bent down and crushed my lips into hers. They moved in sync. IT was like I never left her. I didn't want to stop but we both had to breathe. I pulled back so we didn't go any farther. She had the biggest smile. "I've waited a long time for that Mr. Cullen. Thank you for making my day."
I bent down and kissed her one last time. "I love you, more than you'll ever know."
She smiled. "Good."
I pulled a chair and sat next to her. She turned on the TV. She put on friends, her favorite show. We just sat and laughed together. It felt so good. We hadn't done this in so long. It felt like it was slowly starting to fall into place.
"I can't wait to get out of here so we can be together. Go and do all the stuff we used to do." She said on a commercial break.
"We have our whole lives together. I'm never leaving you." I was just about to kiss her when I heard the door open and my whole family and Charlie walked in.
"You are up!" Alice screeched.
"Yeah. Just watching some TV. Hey Everyone." She said cheerfully.
"How are you?" My dad asked her.
"Honestly, a lot better. I guess all that sleep is helping. How is everyone?"
"We are all doing better now that we know you are doing better." Charlie admitted.
She smiled. "You guys shouldn't worry."
"We never worry about you." Emmett said what Bella wanted to hear. It was silent for a moment and my stomach growled.
"When's the last time you ate?" Bella questioned me.
"This morning." I put my head down so I couldn't look at her.
"Edwards." She sounded disappointed.
"I'm sorry."
"When's the last time any of you are?" She questioned them all like a mother. They all looked in different directions, trying not to make eye contact with her knowing their answers were no better than mine. "You all are ridiculous. You need to eat." She sounded upset.
"I don't want to leave you." I said quietly.
"I'll be fine." She grabbed my hand. "Nothing will happen to me."
"We don't want to leave you." My mom supported me.
"Esme, I love seeing you and your family but you must eat. You guys will just make me worry."
"We will go eat. Just promise you will be okay." My dad supported her.
"I promise." With that everyone said good-bye. I waited until they were all out of the room to say good-bye.
"I don't want to go." I pleaded like a little boy.
"I want you to go." I frowned. "I love you."
"I love you too Bella." I bent down and gently kissed her lips. "I'll be back."
She smiled. "I know you will." She went back to watching TV as I reluctantly walked out of the room. Everyone was staring at me.
"What?" My voice cracked.
"It's just about time," Jasper said playfully.
"Shut up!" I said knowing that they all listen. They all laughed besides Charlie.
"Where to?" Charlie asked annoyed.
"Chilis?" Alice suggested. We all nodded, not really caring where we went.
The adults and kids rode separate, as Emmett suggested.
"Well things will be awkward with Charlie," Alice joked on the way to the restaurant.
"No kidding," I said bitterly.
"Don't worry bro. He will come around. He has to, seeing how much you guys need each other." Emmett said hopeful.
"I can't believe I left her once. Why was I so stupid?" I asked rhetorically.
"I think you guys needed to go through all of this to realize that you guys do need each other. I mean maybe things shouldn't have been so drastic," Jasper shot a look at Alice, " But it was going to happen eventually." Jasper reassured me.
"I'm sorry you guys." I had put them through a lot.
"For what?" Alice wondered.
"For putting you all through hell when I left her. She told me how bad she was. I feel horrible. " We pulled into the parking lot.
"Honestly Edward, you are here now and that is all that matters." Emmett accepted my apology. Jasper and Alice agreed with him. I smiled.
Dinner was awkward. Thankfully no one mentioned anything about Bella and I. Soon enough we were back in Bella's room.
"Hey guys!" She greeted us with a warm smile when we walked in. Chad and Christina were sitting in there. I smiled at them. Bella introduced them to my parents and Charlie. I sat in the chair next to Bella and just listened to all the conversations around me. I didn't talk much, just took it all in. This is something I've been missing. Being with my family and the one I love. Bella laughed a lot too. It was good to hear but I knew it was her way of hiding her pain. But before I knew it visiting hours were coming to an end.
"So who is staying with Bella tonight?" Emmett asked. Everyone looked at me and then Charlie.
"I was kind of hoping I could." Charlie said nervously.
"Of course. You are her father." I smiled slightly. I wanted to stay so bad.
"Well lets start heading out. Go get some sleep." My dad said while standing up. Everyone mimicked him.
"Thank you all for coming! Hopefully tomorrow I'll find out when I get to go home." Bella sounded so hopeful.
"Hopefully that will be soon!" We all agreed with Christina.
They all said their good-byes leaving me with the last one.
"Get a good night sleep. I'll be back here in the morning." I said while grabbing her hand.
"Try sleeping. I don't like you sad." She rubbed my hand.
"I'm not sad." I denied what we all knew was true.
"Edward." She saw through me.
"I'll try." I kissed the top of her head and whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too," She said quietly.
I let her hand go and reluctantly left the hospital.
Review please!
