I know it's been a very long time. But I've had a massive load of work that just wouldn't shift. I'm not going to be writing often anymore, unlike before, when I wrote every two days. I am so sorry. Things have just gotten on top of me and I need to sort them out before I can start this properly again. But keep an eye out because I'm not giving up. =]

I was still shaking when David entered the room to take me home. Worry was written all over his face and I felt glad that at least someone in my family, or what was left of it, actually cared for me. I was sat in Carlisle's office, holding an empty cup of sugary tea, tapping my leg, trying to calm myself down. It wasn't working in the slightest. Carlisle has taken me in there after he had driven me to the hospital; of course he had gone to be with his son, which was understandable. A kind nurse had made me the tea, which tasted disgusting, but all the same, it was nice of her.

But I really wanted and needed to get out of the hospital, I had too much bad experience of the place. I jumped to my feet as David came over to me, pulling me into a hug straight away. "I am so proud of you," He whispered in my ear and he stroked my hair gently. One thing about David is that he really does care and means it when he says it. "You did so well." Funny, because I didn't think that I'd done so well, it was most probably my fault he had the fit in the first place. I nodded into his shoulder, not feeling that proud of myself.

I had been horrid to Edward before the fit had happened, what if that had caused it? I wouldn't have thought so, but even still, I felt terrible. "Can we go home please?" I whispered, pulling away and looking a David with wide eyes. "Please, I just want to leave." His face was curious, but then it softened. David knew exactly why I didn't want to be around in the hospital, he knew my pain well, he had suffered with me. He nodded, but then frowned as a nurse entered the office, her face blank. My heart skipped a beat…No…please no!

"Edward Cullen is fine," She said, smiling now, as I actually began to breathe again. "He had a pressure on the brain, which caused the fit. But the doctor thinks he should be fine soon." David nodded, turning to me, smiling brightly now. I could even feel a smile on my own lips, which was new in a hospital. "Dr. Cullen asked me to come and tell you. He would do it himself, but he wants to be with his son. He is so grateful Miss Swan." The nurse carried on, smiling at me. I didn't deserve it, I really didn't, but no-one knew that, did they?

Two days later

Knees hugged to me chest, chin resting on them I didn't feel compelled to move any time soon, so I sat there. The sun was beating down on me, the soft grass swaying in the gentle breeze, even the branch I was sat in moved a little. I was in the back garden of the house, thinking about what had happened a few days previously, and even after that time, it still haunted me. It was the crack of his head hitting the desk that had done it; it was the sight of his eyes rolling back in his head that turned my stomach.

I hadn't seen Edward since then, because neither of us had been at school. I couldn't bring myself to go, to be faced with the questions and plus David thought that I was still recovering, and so I couldn't go, which was good news for me. According to him Edward had been discharged the day after the incident and was at home recovering properly, which I guess was good news as well. But it meant that we hadn't come across each other in a few days, I was glad.

"Come on Bells, you have to cheer up soon," Jacob's voice reached my ears and I looked up, giving him a sad smile. Jacob had been here as much as he possible could, because he knew that I was upset and still recovering. "You saved his life! What is wrong with you? If it wasn't for you, then Edward Cullen would be dead right now." I looked away from him, with a small sigh, shaking my head. He had no idea. "Bells, please."

A soft ball hit me on the end of the nose, causing me to jerk my head up, my eyes wide. Jacob was grinning a little, standing with his arms crossed in the middle of the lawn. "You did not just throw that did you?" I asked in a whisper, giving him a wicked smile. Jacob knew how to cheer me up. His eyebrows raised a little, daring me to challenge what he did. "You did, didn't you?" I jumped down from the branch, as it wasn't very high, I landed light footed. "Oh you're going to pay."

"Oh really?" Jacob questioned, chasing after me. I squeaked and ran away, but I didn't get far before he grabbed me around the waist, pulling me to him. Someone coughed behind us, causing us both to turn, Jacob still holding me. When we did, my heart stopped, my eyes widened and my smile faded completely. Edward was stood by the back gate, watching the pair of us. I wanted Jake to let go of me, so it didn't look like we were together, but he didn't. He held onto me, but just straightened up, Edward walked towards us, not seeming bothered.

"Bella, I wanted to thank you," Edward whispered, he was smiling gently. I tried to find my voice, but I just couldn't. For one, Edward was wearing a black shirt, that was open from his neck, to his stomach. Two, he was now sporting a large cut, with several butterfly stitches. And three, he was speaking to me after the way I had acted. "I hear that if it wasn't for you, then I wouldn't be here right now. So thank you Bella."

I nodded stiffly, not sure what to say to him in the slightest. "You're welcome," I managed to get out, pulling myself free of Jacob's grip. "Glad I could help." He obviously noted the tone that I was speaking in, so he stepped forwards and offered me his hand, which I hesitated to take, but I took it. He shook it gently, smiling at him, it seemed to last a lifetime, I didn't want to let go now that I was touching him. But a honk from a horn outside, alerted me and I let his hand go, stepping back.

"I should be going," He said in a gentle voice, looking over my shoulder and nodding to Jacob, before his gaze fell on me again. "See you around Bella," He smiled, a crooked smile, which took my breath away. "Soon I hope." With those words, he left, leaving me like jelly in the back garden. I couldn't move and I couldn't even speak when Jake asked me if I was alright.

Edward Cullen was growing on me…and quickly…Uh oh!
