AUTHORS NOTE:

Hello everyone, sorry it took me like three days to put this up. I've had so much to do lately including going to the gym because I gained 25 pounds. Let's just say me and my friends ate a lot 4th of July weekend…Anyways, enough with that! Here is the next installment in the story!

Edward POV:

We were almost at the hospital at this point. There was no way Alice was going to let me drive. She saw that if I did I would run over hundreds of pedestrians. I can't believe this has happened. I know that Carlisle and Emmett will take great care of her but I am so worried, I don't want to lose her.

This hole in my gut cringed at the thought of Bella in pain. All she wanted was to be happy, be happy with me.

"STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!" I hit my head on the dashboard. If you would have seen me you would have said that I looked like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum, but I don't care. My life; my soul; my beautiful fiancé was in so much pain right now and I wasn't there to comfort her.

"Edward, I know that Carlisle will make her better." Jasper said, trying to calm me down. His efforts were of no use though, I was responsible for this. If I hadn't left I could have killed that mangy fucking animal before he even looked at Bella.

"I should hope so." I can barley even focus the pain I'm feeling right now. Why did he have to do this to her? I swear I am going to enjoy torturing him, I'm sure that with what he did; Bella won't mind that I do. "Or will she? Will she want to protect him still?" No. I can't do anything yet unless she says that I can. I told her I would never harm him unless she asked me too.

"Alice can you drive any faster?" I growled impatiently. I needed to see Bella.

"I'm trying the bes-" Alice's face became still but she was still somehow driving perfectly. I saw the look in her eyes and then she was having a vision.

Bella's still frame lay unmoving on a stretcher. The nurses open the hospital doors and Carlisle escorts her to the emergency room. Her body is covered from head to toe in bruises and cuts that are so severe you can see her bones. Her face is pallid and all color is lost. Her heart beat is pathetically just audible. She has lost much blood and is in severe danger-it's a miracle she is still alive. Her eyes flash open despite the fact she should be dead and hoarsely whispers "Where is Edward?"

Alice came back from her vision with the deepest look of sympathy on her face. Where was I? Trying like hell to get there. I hope she can hold on just a little longer.

Bella POV:

My entire body felt disconnected from my head. I slowly began to feel some form of consciousness awake in me. I opened my eyes, straining to just barely make out Carlisle. I opened my mouth in an attempt to talk but my throat was so dry and scratchy. If felt as though my entire mouth and throat was made of sandpaper. I swallowed and tried again.

"Where is Edward?" I feebly managed to sputter out. My vision was still disoriented but I would know if Edward was here. His beauty was one unlike any creature I have ever seen. "Why was I here? What did I do this time?" I asked myself. I tried remembering what happened but all I can remember is that Edward was leaving to go hunting before our wedding. "Great, I probably fell down the stairs or got run over by a truck or something". I thought to myself. It definitely seemed as though I got hit by a truck. I looked down to check out the damage but almost threw up when I saw I was naked.

"WHY THE HELL AM I NOT WEARING ANY CLOTHING?" I screamed out at Carlisle! "Oh great, my father in law has seen me naked." Things only got worse when he pushed the stretcher through the hospital doors. Emmett and Charlie were sitting anxiously in a room and I still wasn't wearing anything! I tried my best to cover up with my arms, but it was too painful.

"Umm... Carlisle do you want to explain to me why I am naked!?" I was seething.

"Bella, you don't remember what happened to you? Jacob came back and-"

Jacob! Realization hit me in the face as images from the afternoon's events swirled through my head. Tears poured out of my face stinging the cuts on my face. Did that really just happen? How could he do this to me!

The only words I remember that were spoken, is that he said Edward wouldn't want me now. Is that true? "Is that why he's not here? He told me he would never leave me again!" But he did leave me again. Overwhelming sensations completely took hold of my entire being and I slipped into the black.

REVIEWWWW!!
