Bella fell asleep against my chest. She was so warm and helpless, she made a small noise and held herself as tightly to me as her feeble little arms would allow. People had been calling for Bella ever since some news channel mentioned her. Flowers are being sent here, her room is over run with all of them and its only been a couple of hours.
I could hear Renee and Alice walking down the hall way quickly. Renee was frantic with worry, Alice already knew how things would turn out so she wasn't as worried. I knew he was bad news, I should have forbid Bella from seeing that boy. Damn it Renee trust your instincts!Bella's mom yelled at herself inside her head.
I could smell the thin layer of sweat on Renee's forehead and palms. Her breathing was near hyperventilation and she was near tears. The door burst open showing an older version of Bella, except my Bella is prettier. No she isn't mine, but she could be a small voice in my head reminded me.
Renee and Alice's thoughts interrupted my own. Aw that's so cute. I can tell she likes him… its true Edward I would know. I'm her best friend… well I will be. Alice smirked at me but her face fell when Bella made a sad sound.
What is she doing in that boys arms? Hasn't she had enough trouble from teenage boys? I know Charlie said she didn't want anyone to leave but this is ridiculous. Her thoughts continued on down that line. If only she knew how old I really am.
Bella moaned and stretched, I frowned she hasn't been getting much sleep lately only a couple of hours at a time at best. Bella mumbled an ouch as she pulled something too hard. I helped her sit up in the bed, her eyes were still mostly closed.
The bed was a bit cramped with both of us on it but I didn't mind and Bella didn't seem to either. I pushed the button making the bed sit up slightly. Bella yawned hugely and opened her eyes.
"Oh hi mom, I didn't know I slept for so long" she muttered still tired. Renee ran over to the side of Bella's bed, fighting tears the whole way. Renee smothered Bella in a hug, Bella seemed to feel awkward at first but she wrapped he arms around her mother and let her cry on her shoulder.

I don't know why Renee cried, but she did. I just hugged her and let her cry, I just hope it helped her some. Its over though, all done, nothing to be sad about. No more reason.
"Bella, I love you" Renee said forcefully to me, as if I had forgotten that my mother would love me, isn't that what they do. Mothers anyway.
"I know, I love you too mom" I yawned again though, still exhausted. I don't think I've been sleeping well.
"Are you ok?" Renee asked her eyebrows furrowed at me.
"I'm fine" I shrugged, I don't think I have any major injuries just a few bruises. Renee glanced at Charlie worriedly.
"Sweetie are you sure, its ok if your not." she asked quietly.
"Yes I'm fine" I tried to reassure her, I don't think she was convinced. "Just ask Dr. Cullen, he'll tell you there isn't anything really wrong" I nodded towards Carlisle. She turned around surprised. Carlisle stood up and stretched his hand out to shake my moms.
"Hello, you must be Bella's mother. I am Carlisle Cullen her doctor." They shook hands.
"how is she doing?" Renee asked quietly.
"Well she has a lot of bruising, a bad burn on her right arm, and a possible fractured collar bone but its most likely just a bone bruise" Carlisle told her just as quietly. Renee was just about to say more when the door opened reveling a man and a woman, both in black power suits. I could see the gun's both of them had on their waist belts and the man was wearing a badge hanging on a chain.
Charlie stood up frowning and moved in front of them, he was slightly taller than the woman but not the man. The woman's eyes scanned over my body, she frowned slightly. Edward pulled the blanket around me so she couldn't see some of the marks I guess.
"Hello I am Agent Brath and this is my partner Agent Salvin. We are from the FBI" the man told us, his voice was low and full of authority.
"What are you doing here?" Charlie ordered.
"We are taking over the case of Mort and Swan" Agent Brath said looking back at me for the first real time.
"Why is that necessary?" Charlie demanded.
"For one you couldn't be counted on to make a subjective decision you are her father. And Andrew is from phoenix, if we do figure out that what people are assuming is true then part of the crime also happened in phoenix. Also this case has a lot of publicity, you aren't trained to deal with the press like we are" the woman Agent Salvin answered this time.
"We would like to speak with Isabella Swan alone now. Not as an official interview just something to get us started. Oh and Chief Swan I hope you will grant us access to your police station" The man said still only looking at Charlie, I could hear the hysterical sobs bubbling through Renee's tightly closed lips.
"Of course you may use the station, but no you may not speak to Bella right now she is in no condition to be alone" Charlie told them. The woman looked at me again, the man didn't though.
"What do I call you?" I asked them. The woman turned her whole body towards me, her face was cautious but thoughtful.
"What?" the man demented in a gruff tone. Edward rubbed his hand up and down my back over the blanket.
"What should I call you, should I call you Agent Brath and Agent Salvin. Or maybe just Brath and Salvin, or should I call you sir and mam. I figure you are going to be talking to me a lot, I should know what to call you." I explained. The woman raised her eyebrows and looked to the man.
"You can just call us by our last names" Brath said, he seemed a little unsure though, maybe people aren't supposed to ask that. Oh well, I did.
"Can we talk to you Bella?" Salvin asked.
"ok" I told her.
"Why doesn't everyone leave the room, or you can come with us Isabella" Salvin said in a comforting tone, Renee choked back a sob.
"No" I shook my head and scrambled onto Edwards lap. He wrapped the blanket around me again.
"No what?" Salvin asked.
"No one is leaving and I'm not going anywhere but we can talk all you want. And call me Bella" I told them.
"Bella maybe you shouldn't-" Charlie started to say but Renee cut him off angrily.
"She doesn't have anything to worry about Charlie she didn't do anything wrong!" Renee huffed. Brath raised his eyebrows but turned towards me.
"OK Bella, this is off the record. So none of this is record or anything we are just asking questions" Salvin told me. I just nodded. They both came over to stand by the bed, I just looked up at them.
"Did you know Andrew Mort?" Brath asked. They would be great for the whole good cop bad cop thing, perfect really.
"Yes" I told them.
"How?" Salvin asked sitting down in a spare chair and leaning forward slightly, Brath sat down too.
"We dated." Renee made a muffled cry again, I sighed.
"For how long about?" Salvin asked.
"I would guess about 6 months maybe more maybe less" I shrugged.
"You saw him die didn't you?" Brath asked.
"I did" I answered.
"You don't seem all broken up about it" He snapped.
"I'm not" I snapped back. I'm done answering their questions, I don't want to talk about it anymore. Instead of focusing on his face I zoned out staring the wall.
"Did you know he was coming to see you?" Salvin asked. I didn't respond.
"Did you ask him to come see you?" Salvin asked again, she glared at Brath when I still didn't respond.
"Maybe you should go" Charlie told them, they both stood up and nodded.
"You should interview some of the other police officers that were there before you come talk to me again" I said right before they walked out the door. They both turned around Brath looked shocked but Salvin smiled and nodded a thank you to me. They didn't seem like they knew much about anything that happened. They will soon enough. Salvin won't be so happy with me then.
