The Accident

Disclaimer - All things Twilight belong to Stephenie Meyer

A/N - I know the dialogue that goes on b/w Bella and Edward at the end isn't the same as in the actual book but I didn't have it with me at the time and besides, I really wouldn't have felt like copying the dialogue down word for word anyways!

I drove into the school parking lot on Monday fully determined to avoid Bella at all costs. That lasted a whole two minutes. I parked my car and started walking towards the school when I heard several students gasp. I turned around to see Bella on the ground by her truck with Tyler and his car coming full speed at her. That moron, he could barely drive as it was, what was he doing driving when the road was covered with ice? I stared at Bella with a look that I'm sure had horror frozen on it. Bella matched my gaze with a look of pure fear placed firmly on her beautiful face.

Within a second I was next to Bella, protectively shielding her from the idiot Tyler's car. The front of the car crashed into me with a force that would have seriously injured any mortal. Instead, the front bumper merely shaped itself to the contours of my shoulders. I was staring at Bella the whole time, it was so hard not to, she's just so damn pretty. A look of shock replaced the fear in her beautiful chocolate eyes. It was times like this I wished I could read her mind, and it bugged me to no end that I couldn't. What was she thinking right now? What I wouldn't give to know. Hadn't someone called an ambulance while witnessing this? Apparently someone had because there was one waiting to whisk her away to the hospital. She insisted she was fine but I convinced her, well, I suppose more like dazzled her, into going anyway.

As the ambulance drove away, I hopped in my Volvo and sped to the hospital. I just had needed to know that she definitely was fine. I arrived seconds after the ambulance. I went to the receptionist, found out what room Bella was in, and peeked through the doorway to her room. She had her back to me and was talking to Carlisle. I was able to pick up through his thoughts that she was fine. That's all I needed to know, so I quietly tiptoed away from the doorway and into the hallway. Apparently I wasn't quiet enough though. Damn, how did she hear me tiptoeing? I soon heard Bella's voice calling my name down the hallway. God, her voice was as beautiful as she herself was. I never liked the name Edward, but when she said it…no! I had to stop thinking like that; there was no way I could be with her. I wanted to kill her for her blood for goodness sake! How could I be with her if I would always be tempted by the thought of her blood? Still, maybe we could make it work…no! Bad Edward! I could not think like that! A sad sigh escaped my lips at the thought of her with Mike Newton. She was standing right in front of me now. I don't remember stopping, but apparently I did when she called my name. Thank God I had gone hunting yesterday, it made the smell of her blood a little bit more bearable.

"Edward, how did you do that?" she asked

"How did I do what?" I innocently replied

"You know what I'm talking about!" she shot back angrily. "What you did in the parking lot, you jumped in front of me, the car hit you at sixty miles per hour and there's not a scratch on you!" "That's not possible!" "Well, not humanly possible."

"What do you want me to tell you?" I asked. I was furious, I had just saved this girl's life, and I really didn't even know what had compelled me to do it, it wasn't the thought of her blood being spilled. If that had happened my cover would have been blown. No, it wasn't that, though, that was just a bonus. I had saved her life though, and here she was, instead of thanking me which may I remind you she hadn't done yet, she had the nerve to interrogate me.

"I want you to tell me the truth!" she demanded. Ask a stupid question…

"Well too bad, you're not getting the truth."

"But I wouldn't tell anyb…" I interrupted her before she could get any further

"I saved your life, I don't owe you anything." I really hadn't planned for these words to come out of my mouth, they just did. She looked a little taken aback by my answer, truthfully, so was I, but I was determined not to let it show on my face. All she said was "Your right" and walked away. This simple statement and action surprised me more then my own statement had not moments before. She abruptly turned around, "Thank you." and then she finished her walk down the hallway.

"Your welcome," I whispered to her retreating figure, and then she turned the corner and was gone.
