Chapter 4: You Came Along
Bella's POV
I dreamt a dream today. It was me running through a forest, not sure of where I'm going but I was headed somewhere. It was the same, as if I wasn't even moving, it got darker and deeper. I just kept running into the blackness, of my mind. I hit something in my dream, a log or a ditch. My foot instantly throbbed and pained for my existence. I couldn't move, I just wept my life away. But then somebody picked me up and took me away from my problems, lifted my burdens away. He led me to heaven. I got a good look of him, Edward. He was my savior. But, I got rushed out of my dream all too soon.
"Bella, are you awake?" a pixie voice urged me to lift my eyelids up. That dream was so real. I looked around and took a glimpse of where I am; the nurse's office.
"Mmmhm… I'm up Alice, what happened?"
"Silly, you tripped over something and sprained your leg, if it weren't for Nate being there, we would not have known where you were" She moved aside, showing everybody, and Nate behind me.
"Nate? You found me?" I was clearly shocked. I thought it was Edward who saved me? What is going on?
"Yeah I did, you were just lying there, couldn't move" He smiled.
"Err. Well, I guess we'll be leaving you two alone" Alice smiled. They headed out the door, leaving a very blushed me and Nate alone.
"Thank you Nate, for picking me up and bringing me here" I might as well be nice to him.
"Oh it was no trouble, how was your summer?" He inched closer to my bed. I never really noticed Nate before much. He has blue eyes, and short brunette hair which covered his eyes at times. His smile is charming; but he definitely is not flirting with me. I highly doubt that.
"It was good, and how was your cottage?" I recalled him telling me before the holidays that he goes there often.
"Oh it was good, well; I suppose I better let you rest. I'll see you around" He flashed me this smile and left. I felt somewhat dizzy, but I think that was the morphine.
"LET ME GO ALICE, I'M GOING IN!" Edward barged in, "Bella, oh my god, are you alright? I should have taken you back to your dorm."
"No its fine Edward, I'm fine. It's not your fault its mine" I tried suppressing my emotions back. Where was he when I fell? I can't remember anything but the dream.
His eyes proved to me that he did not believe me. "I should not have let you go by yourself –" I cut him off.
"It's not your fault, how were you supposed to know" clearly angry he's not letting me be.
"I should have been a gentleman and taken you back" He pleaded. Doesn't he understand no?
"Its fine, I'm fine. Nate found me anyways" His hands tightened at the sound of Nate. Was this jealousy?
"I am going to be beside you every step of the way—" his eyes pleadingly.
"EDWARD STOP! I can take perfect care of myself! I am not a child. So just leave me alone!" I need to be alone and couldn't hold it in any longer. He obviously saw this and stepped aside. He acts like he owns me now.
"Well, if it suits you better" he left.
I instantly felt bad. The one guy who wanted to help me, I pushed him aside because of my stupid feelings. I clearly saw him saving me in my dream. I thought he'd be the one to catch me but he wasn't? How can I think clearly now?
"Why hello there Bella, it's been a while since I've seen you in this bed" Doctor Wailer smiled.
"This bed and I have this on and off relationship going around. It expects me back in its sheets in a couple of weeks" I smiled sarcastically.
He laughed, "Well you are off to go, here are your crutches, please take it easy. I already informed your teachers why you missed classes."
"What time is it?" How long have I been sleeping for?
"Oh its 5:00pm, you've been out for a while, but a minor sprain, it's alright, just keep of it."
I grabbed my crutches and headed outside, only to be greeted by Rosalie and Emmett. "So, you're back to the crutches huh?"
"Yes, sadly."
"Well then, we'll just have Eddie take more care of you then!" Emmett joked. Right before he could come any closer to me, Rosalie tripped him.
"That's for being stupid and saying that" she sighed, "When will he ever learn?"
"Let's get back to the dorms, kind of tried."
I swear I feel the tension going. Am I missing something? Emmett was awfully quiet since he 'fell' onto the pavement. We got to our room soon enough, Rosalie kicked Emmett out and there stood a very anxious Alice and Rosalie waiting for something. I've been kicked into the sharks.
"Well, Whats with you and Nate?" Rosalie started the torture.
"Nothing"
"That doesn't look like nothing. He stayed by your side throughout the whole time. He missed his classes for you." her hands on her hips.
"I can assure you, I'm not getting myself tangled in anything, alright?" That did not suit them.
"What's with Edward then? He wanted to jump into your room and kill something. We had to get Emmett to hold onto him. Then he comes out like you stabbed him."What is with all these guys lately?
"I don't know" I mumbled, obviously looking away.
"WAIT! You were walking to class with him weren't you?" Alice jumped from her trance, "And then, you gave him some lame excuse like going to the room to get something, and then went off somewhere." Leave it to Alice, to figure out what happened.
"What if I did that? What does it matter?"
"What is up with you Bella? Since the beginning of school started, you're acting different lately. Bottling yourself up to everybody"
"I just want to think"
"About…?"
"Listen, I'm tired, can we talk later?" Alice grumbled.
"Don't think were done with this conversation then, you're telling us soon or later" She left.
Thank god. I can't stand all this happening, first Edward, now them. How would they like how I'm feeling? They wouldn't like it much. Something's just about to break in me. I won't bring people down with me.
EPOV
She's been on my mind since she told me to leave at he nurse's office. I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my heart and given to her on a platter. Only to get it slashed and stabbed. Her words hurt me.
"I am going to be beside you every step of the way—" I will be with her every step. I won't let this happen again.
"EDWARD STOP! I can take perfect care of myself! I am not a child. So just leave me alone!" She said those words with venom in her eyes. She doesn't want me around?
"Well, if it suits you better" I was crushed.
I kept walking, walking… and walking. I feel like a zombie. I obviously lost this battle with her.
It began raining slowly, I didn't care. I just stood there in the rain, thinking peacefully.
I knew I would do this to myself. Get in too deep to get myself out. I should have just saved my breath instead of trying to win this battle obviously not worth winning. I will stay, in the mess I made.
BPOV
God, why did he have to be so supporting and push me to my limit? I feel so bad; he's not even in his room. Where is he? Why can't I get him out of my mind? I've only known him for two days, and already I feel like I know him more then anybody.
Its raining, I wonder if Edward's back. I slowly got to Emmett's room without hurting anything.
"Hey Emmett, you guys know where Edward is?"
"No, he hasn't come back yet." Does he even care his friend is outside and its raining?
"PUT DOWN THE GODDAMN WII AND FIND HIM EMMETT!" I can only imagine what he's doing because of what I said.
"Alright geez fine, lets go Jasper."
They walked off, leaving me alone in their room. For once in a long time, I sobbed. What if he was hurt because of what I said? Obviously, I got myself to have feelings for him. I like him, but I shouldn't. I broke down. Tripped over something and fell to the ground.
He was unhappy because of me. I ruined everything.
I finally had the strength to get up and get back to my room. Without looking at Rosalie and Alice, I went to bed.
I had a nightmare again today. I was running, through a deserted hallway. I kept running and running, no thought to where I was. It obviously meant something, I just didn't know what.
Beeeeeeep.Beeeeeeep.
I reached over to hit the alarm clock, but slipped and fell face first onto the floor, "Shit."
"Get up sleepyhead, were headed to breakfast" Alice chirped.
I slowly tried to get dressed, could not put on my own goddamn skirt, I got Alice to help me.
We went to the café to be joined with Emmett and Jasper. Wait where was Edward?
"Where's Edward?" I was frantic.
"Calm down, we found him outside yesterday out just standing, we brought him in. He said he's not in the mood for breakfast" Emmett ate in between chews.
He's avoiding me. I did this to him. How could I be such a heartless person?
The bell rang, I had English. Maybe I should apologize to him. Maybe, I should tell him my feelings.
EPOV
Beeeeeep. Beeeeeep.
My body hurts, I can't feel my arms.
"Hey you wanna go to breakfast?" Emmett stalked in.
"No, I don't feel like it"
"Stop mopping, and get your ass out, your acting like a girl"
"Leave.Now!" I threw my pillow at him, I missed.
I feel like sleeping my life away. But life doesn't work that way, something happens and you move on. But what If I can't? I never admitted it, but I'm in love with this girl. And it just seems like my love crashed onto the floor. I'm not ready for more torture.
The bell rang, and I decided now would be a good time to take a shower. I'll be late who cares. Got out of my shower and dressed in my uniform.
I walked, without reason until I reached the classroom, and entered. All eyes were on me. I didn't bother looking at her.
"Well Mr. Masen, I do not like tardiness. Please try to arrive in time for my lessons" Mr. Robertson cleared his throat. I found my way to my desk next to Lauren. She tried making conversation with me, but I ignored her, every word she said went in my ear, and out the other.
I caught her looking at me lots of times, she had pleading eyes. I couldn't bear make eye contact with her. It won't hurt that way.
I kept to myself the whole entire period, even when it was group discussion, I just read.
That's basically how the morning went; I went to class, ignoring everybody. I felt lifeless. But I am lifeless. All point of living, has decided she didn't need me anymore. How could I be so stupid?
Lunch finally came. I walked pointlessly again, no clue where I was heading, but I knew I was heading somewhere.
"Edward… wait up!" her voice echoed in my head. I didn't stop walking. "Edward please wait!" She was hurting herself trying to catch up in crutches. I stopped, and turned around. She tried to catch up fast and ended up slipping.
BPOV
I tried so hard to find a way to talk to him all morning, but it was just so hard. He wasn't listening to anybody. What should I do? I'll talk to him now then!
I found him, screamed at the top of my lungs, "Edward… wait up!" But he wouldn't stop walking, "Edward please wait!" I need to reach him in time.
I started trusting my crutches more then ever, to bring me faster. I'm straining myself to reach him.
Before I could reach him, my crutch slipped on something, and I was going to land head first onto the floor.
But, he surprised me, dropped his books, and ran to my side and caught me by the waist. Surely, if someone was mad with me, they'd let me fall. No one has ever caught me before.
"Edward… I—"
"Its alright, I don't want to hear it" He looked hurt.
"No, I'm sorry for what I said to you, I… I didn't mean it; I don't want you to leave. Please forgive me, I was acting like a jerk to you, you only cared for my well being" I started to tear up.
He sighed, "You have nothing to be sorry about, and it was my fault anyways"
"No it wasn't, let's just say it's both our faults okay?"
"Alright" he smiled. That's the smiling I've been missing this whole entire time. I felt hole again, "You know, not long ago I gave up hope, but you came along. You gave me something I could hold onto. Bella…" he paused, "I love you."
I just had to do this little cliffie, you'll probably bash me for it, but i like it this way (:
R&R
Max. (:
