I woke up confused for the second time, I kept my eyes closed though. I didn't feel like opening them and remember everything. I could feel the needle in the crease of my elbow and hear the heart monitor beeping.
I had had a mental break down, not even my first. I was embarrassed about how I just ran away and couldn't face the music. Everything felt heavy, the doctors probably gave me more medication so I couldn't run off again.
Sounds floated to my ears, it was kind of dream like, must be the pain killers. No it was Edward and Alice talking. The words were hard to make out. You are such an idiot. Why would chew leave? Chew? Oh, you ok now I know what drugs feel like.
Alice itsnot fair, she is such a good person. I put her in danger, she is always in dangerEdward said, I tried to push my eyes open, it didn't work but they always say second time's the charm.
"expecting world to treat right cuz good person like cepting tiger not eat cuz you vegetarian. I danger always" the words came out in a gargle and I had the feeling they might not be in the right order. Not to mention that I had only meant to think that, not say it. Stupid drugs. Alice laughed daintily furthering my suspicion that I said something wrong. Oh well.
"She is right Edward, drugged up but right" Alice giggled more.
"Bella?" Edward ignored Alice's words and leaned over me, he was fuzzy I wanted to reach out and pet him but I was too tired.
"Mmmmmmhm" I responded.
"you should go back to sleep" Edward looked me over.
"mmmmhm" I mumbled again "stay" I slurred before I closed my eyes. I felt his cold hand touch my face lightly, or it was a breeze.
I opened my eyes again, I couldn't feel the swirl of pain killers but I could feel my aching rib and head. I groaned and looked around the room. Edward was sitting next to me and Charlie was sitting on the couch next to Renee.
"oh Bella you awake!" Renee said excitedly as she ran over to my side.
"Ow" I groaned, Edward took my hand worriedly. I glanced at him, he grinned but his eyes were still worried.
"You ok baby?" Renee asked.
"will be" I breathed out, it hurt to take too much air in. I glanced around the room, there was a small window a hazy light shown through.
"do you need more medicine?" Charlie asked from his seat on the couch, he leaned forward.
"no…. maybe" my head was pulsing painfully. Charlie stood up and walked towards the door opening it and sticking his head out awkwardly he called for a nurse. An old nurse walked in her cream shoes squeaked on the floor annoyingly. Or maybe everything was annoying to me because I had a massive head ach and an amazing amount of pain in my side.
"Are you in pain dear" She asked leaning over me, her huge old lady butt facing Edward who was leaning back looking away from us awkwardly.
I wanted to say of course I am in pain stupid old pervert, but that would be slightly rude so I just nodded slightly. She straightened up sending a longing look at Edward then looked down at my charts.
"Alright then I will give you some medication, I'll be right back" she smiled, her chubby cheeks made her look like a chipmunk. She turned around and squeaked out of the room, I looked at Edward and laughed at him in my head.
It would take too much effort do actually laugh. The look on Edwards face was priceless though, I would call it distaste, it was subtle but still very much there. Yea I'm guessing I don't want to know what she was thinking about poor Edward.
I guess I'm lucky that she was an unattractive old lady not some hot twenty something ogling Edward. Distaste might not be on his face next time. I frowned at the thought of some gorgeous girl steeling Edward away from me. Not that he is mine now, or is he? Ah I don't know.
Don't be stupid Bella, I told myself. He has obviously heard people think some inappropriate things about him before, some of the people might have been good looking and he obviously isn't with any of them. At least I don't think he is, oh god I am making myself crazy.
Before I could terrify myself with more thoughts about Edward with a super model and me sitting alone in the corner the nurse walked in. It was not chipmunk perv sadly, I would have preferred her. It was in fact a hot twenty something with blonde hair and long lean legs. She looked at Edward, ran her stupid pretty blue eyes all over his stupid perfect body. She grinned at him, slut. I glared at her, but Edward wasn't paying any attention to her he was looking at me amusedly. He had that crooked grin on the one that made me smile and blush.
I almost forgot about nurse slut until she pranced over to my bed swaying her butt the whole way. She kept looking up at Edward while injecting the medicine into my tube rather slowly. I think she was just stalling to be here as long as possible.
After she was finished and I could feel the cool liquid trickling into my blood stream she cleaned up her very small nonexistent mess very slowly. I was getting awfully annoyed at Slutie McSlutterson over here. Could she be any more desperate?
"bye" I snapped after long movement of her staring at Edward. She looked down at me surprised. She looked embarrassed as she walked out of my room, she did cast one last glance at Edward much to my annoyance.
"stupid slut" I muttered very quietly, but I did forget that Edward has super hearing and he had obviously heard me because he was chuckling. Whoops was my last thought before I drifted off into a dark blanket of sleep, or unconsciousness. What's the difference?
About a week after that they finally let me go home. I had also been notified that Mrs. Mort is now doing better. The police want to press charges though, I called Agent Salvin and asked her to go easy on Mrs. Mort after all I did kill her son.
I was home, laying in my bed now holding Romeo and Juliet but I had too much on my mind to read. And I was unbelievably bored. I was aloud to leave the hospital but I was not aloud to do a lot of physical activity.
Apparently walking anywhere outside of my house is a lot of activity so pretty much I spent my days in my bed, on my couch, or on Edwards couch (one of the many in his house). I set my book on the table next to my bed and slowly got out of bed.
I do everything slow now days. I checked the clock. Edward and Alice should be getting here from school soon. I found my heart beating quickly at the thought of Edward. After all of the time I spend with him I should be used to it.
I saw a note taped to the wall from Charlie, I don't know why he leaves notes, he stays home until 11 and comes home earlier than usual we really are not apart for that long. Everyone seems to be cutting back on normal activities for me. Edward only goes to school for a couple of days a week now.
And when he does he always comes here right after. I sighed gripping the rail next to the stairs and shaking my head to myself. Now Edwards going to fail out of school by making sure I don't, he always brings school work for me to do, so I don't get behind.
What seemed like an hour later I had finally made it down stairs and into the kitchen, I must have scared Lady because she jumped up from her position laying on the rug. She quickly got over it though and ran over to me. She is very gentle now, almost as if she knows I'm hurt.
The door bell rang, Edward uses it as a warning saying he is coming in. Considering that I cant run downstairs to answer the door. I smiled though and pulled the door open quickly before he had the chance too.
Alice was standing at the door grinning at me. Edward was getting out of the car, as was Rosalie. She stepped into the driver seat though as Edward looked at me disapprovingly.
Emmett waved at me from the car, I smiled and waved back. Jasper smiled a friendly smile and nodded a hello. I smiled back. Rosalie just glanced at me, she didn't glare or smile.
"Bella you should be in bed" Edward said swinging his back pack over one shoulder looking like a model.
"You worry too much, you'll get gray hair Edward" I scolded, smiling. Edward pursed his lips and raised an eyebrow. I could hear Emmett laughing though, Alice even giggled a bit.
"at least your family thinks I'm funny" I huffed. Edward smiled and sighed rolling his
eyes. He jogged up to me put his arm around my waist and helped me back to the kitchen motioning me to sit in a chair.
"how was your day Bella?" Alice asked happily as she perched herself in a chair beside me.
"boring, and yours Alice?" I asked leaning back in the chair.
"mine was boring as well" Alice sighed.
"Bella, I got more work for your to do. We are reading a new book in English. I suspect you will like it" Edward was pulling out folders from the bag and putting them on the kitchen table.
"what book?" I asked.
"Romeo and Juliet" Edward turned to me and smiled, his topaz eyes glowed. I smiled and blushed of course.
"you know I think I've read that one before" I muttered smiling up at Edward.
"Yes, I believe you have" Edward noted.
"I don't want to do any work now, can we do something else?" I asked.
"Oh, lets go to our house. Esme misses you" Alice jumped up from her chair. I glanced at Edward who rolled his eyes but walked over to help me up. Even though I don't need the help. Edward lead me to the car, I sat in the passenger seat while Alice bounced into the back seat.
Edward stretched his arm out a rested it on the back of my seat, I smiled and leaned forward to fiddle with the radio dials. I turned to Edward and grinned as the classical music filled the car.
"Your so old" I noted playfully.
"does it bother you?" Edward asked, it was my turn to roll my eyes.
"not in the slightest" I leaned back onto my seat and stared out the window at the trees passing too quickly. Stupid fast drivers.
In no time we pulled up to the Cullen mansion, Edward opened my car door for me and helped me out leaving Alice to fend for herself. Edward wrapped his cold arm around my waist as was now customary any time I needed to walk anywhere while Edward was around.
Emmett opened the door before we could. He grinned at all of us, Edward sighed. I wonder what he is up to now. Emmett eyed me with a crazy smile on his face, I was suddenly scared.
"Uh, Edward lets g-" Emmett cut me off before I could make my escape.
"Bella! Lets play halo!" Emmett loves to watch me make a fool of myself. Its hilarious apparently.
"Emmett, Bella doesn't like video games" Edward said slowly and coldly. Emmett turned around and walked back to the couch slowly. We walked into the house, Alice jumped into Jaspers lap he smiled at her.
Rosalie walked in from the garage, her hair was tied up in a pony tail and she was wearing jeans and a white tee-shirt covered in grease. She looked at me, it was like she couldn't decide if she wanted to hate me or not. She ended up just walking upstairs shaking her head very slightly.
I looked at her retreating figure in confusion, I couldn't figure her out no matter what I did. I got the feeling I might never understand her. I looked up at Edward, he lead me up the stairs to his room. Of course Edward took me to the couch to sit down, always the couch.
"How are you Bella?" Edward asked sitting next to me.
"Alright Edward and yourself?" I asked.
"Wonderful Bella I am now wonderful" Edward said, I smiled and blushed. I guess wonderful is pretty good. Ruining the moment my stomach growled, I hadn't even realized I was hungry. Edward chuckled.
"Come on Bella, would you like to go out and get dinner?" Edward asked holding out his hand for me. Like a date? I asked myself.
"love to" I pulled myself up and Edward as always wrapped his arm around my waist and helped me to the car, not that I needed help but it was nice. I liked having his arm around me, protecting me. Even from myself.
In the car Edward steered with one hand and held my hand with his other. We listened to the sweet classical music, and didn't really talk it was not an awkward silence just neither of us had anything to say.
"Do you have anywhere in particular that you want to go? Anything you want to eat?" Edward asked.
"no anywhere is fine" I told him looking out the window at the stores, the sun was now setting. "its beautiful" I murmured looking out at the sun setting over the water.
"yes" Edward said looking at me, I had a feeling he wasn't talking about the sunset though, so I blushed. Edward stroked his fingers along the blush on my cheeks. Suddenly Edward pulled over, he helped me out of the car.
We climbed the stairs down to the sandy beach, I was ginning madly by the time we reached the beach. I slipped off my shoes and ran across the sand, it was a little uncomfortable my chest was aching a little but it was worth it.
Edward caught up with me and wrapped his arms around my waist, I laughed and spun away. Of course with my grace I fell pulling Edward down with me. Edward landed on top of me but he was holding himself up with his arms. I was still laughing as I looked up at his smiling face.
Edward pushed himself up then helped me up. Edward pulled me in front of him so we both looked at the sun setting over the water. He had his arms wrapped around my waist and I covered his hands with my own our fingers were woven together.
The world seemed perfect as I leaned my head back on Edwards chest and we watched the sun set together. I could feel his sweet breath on my neck the sunset was a fiery gold color. Too bad nothing gold can stay.
sorry it took so long... HAPPY NEW YEAR.
