This can't be happening, this can't be happening.
When I opened my eyes, I was lying
in a bed and a horrible beeping nose was sounding. I shuddered
because I knew that I was in hospital. But I couldn't be in here; I
needed to be with Zach. Zach. My heart ached to think of my
brother who'd fallen off the jungle gym and was now unconscious in
this very hospital. It was then that I noticed that someone was
holding my hand. I looked down to see Edward. He was asleep but
holding my hand. I was still a little frantic about getting to Zach
so I gave Edward a little nudge. When I did, his head snapped up and
his eyes were wide with worry.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?"
he whispered urgently and I shook my head.
"I need to see my
brother" I whimpered and he raised an eyebrow awkwardly.
"Do
you want me to call his school or something?" he offered and I
closed my eyes tight and shook my head quickly in frustration.
"No,
Edward. He's in the hospital. He's hurt and I need to go see him"
I whimpered and his eyes turned sympathetic. He nodded slowly and
started to help me out of bed.
"Wait, how long was I out?" I
whispered and he sighed.
"Only a few hours. You really
frightened me" he whispered and my heart stuttered randomly. Why
did that happen? When he reached his hand forward and stroked my
cheek, my breath got caught in my throat.
"Zach" I whispered
and he nodded grimly.
He started to help me out of the bed again
and I got dizzy all of the sudden.
"Whoa, steady angel" he
whispered and my head snapped toward him. His eyes widened and he
mumbled something along the lines of 'I'm sorry'.
When I
finally got out of the bed, Edward had his arm tight around my torso.
When I asked him why he said that he didn't want me to fall. At the
front desk, we asked for Zach's room and were given the directions.
When I got there, I whispered my gratitude to Edward and he told me
it was nothing. I walked through the door and what I saw sickened me.
My little Zach; my baby brother was hooked up to many machines and
the only thing telling me he was alive was the steady rise and fall
of his chest; as well as the heart monitor. He was so pale; but
the thing I noticed most was the large bandage around his head. I
started to hyperventilate and then I nearly collapsed but I felt
strong arms around me.
"You can do it" I heard Edward whisper
and I nodded.
"Thank you" I whispered and he pushed me
forward. I walked hesitantly to my brother's bedside and the tears
were sliding down my cheeks.
"Hey little buddy" I whispered
as I took the seat next to his bed and took his hand. Where were my
aunt and uncle? "Zach, please wake up" I whispered. When he
didn't I tightened my eyes; causing some of the tears to escape.
I spent hours at Zach's bedside and during that time, my aunt and uncle arrived. I couldn't handle seeing my brother that way, so I had to leave the room for a while. When I got back to my room I found Edward asleep on one of the chairs. When I looked over at the clock I saw it was 10 pm. I smiled and walked over to where he was and took the book I noticed was in his hands. I looked down at the page and tears filled my eyes once again.
Bella
her eyes are so
inviting,
her smile shines like the sun,
the pain she suffers
from,
I only hope can be undone,
She's like the stars,
each
twinkle could light up the night sky,
her voice is the music to my
ears,
and her touch is like wildfire.
I smiled to myself and placed the
book back in his hands. I felt the sudden urge to run my hands
through his hair, so I took this as an opportunity. I ran my hand
through his tousled bronze hair and sighed when I noticed how soft it
was. I leant forward and planted a kiss on his cheek and when I
pulled away he had a smile on his face.
"Thank you" he
whispered and I blushed. His eyes fluttered open and they connected
with mine. I stared into his endless emeralds and lost myself in his
soul.
"Bella, you look exhausted. Maybe you should sleep" he
whispered and I nodded weakly.
"I can't thank you enough for
everything you did for me" I whispered and his eyes turned sad.
Suddenly he took my face in his hands and kissed me softly. A tear
slid down my cheek as we kissed gently and sweetly; and all too soon
he pulled away.
"I would do it all again for you; pained angel"
he whispered and kissed me once more before leaving the room. I
collapsed onto the bed with a smile on my face. I'd only met Edward
not long ago, but I knew I was falling. I just hoped he was going to
catch me.
EPOV
I
couldn't handle it anymore. I just had to kiss her or I was going
to go insane. I didn't know what it was; perhaps it was the desire
to take away her pain; I wasn't sure; but her mouth looked so
inviting. When I pulled away she had a tear on her cheek, but she was
smiling. And what a beautiful smile she has.
"I would do
it all again for you; pained angel" I whispered and her eyes
widened a fraction. I kissed her once more and then I walked out of
the room. My heart was thumping erratically and I knew I needed to
understand why I felt the need to kiss this girl I'd only just met.
But the way she smiled; I knew I was alive because my heart would
shift to overdrive. I ran out of the hospital and got into my car. I
drove home and ran straight to my room. I decided to take a shower to
calm my live wired nerves.
"It's stupid Edward. You just met
her. You can't like her already" I spoke to myself repeatedly and
then I jumped in the shower. The boiling water unknotted my shoulders
and I shuddered as the relaxation overcame me.
After twenty minutes of the
relishing water, I stepped out and dried myself off. After I got
changed, I sprayed on some deodorant and walked back into my room
from my bathroom. After I layed down at my computer I heard a soft
tap at the door.
"Come on in" I said and then Jasper poked
his head in.
"Where the hell did you go today Edward?" he
asked and then I remembered that none of them knew about Bella and
her brother both being in hospital.
"I went to see if Bella was
alright" I mumbled and he gave me a knowing smile.
"Bella
aye?" he said arrogantly and I rolled my eyes.
"It's not
like that man. Well, I don't know. It might be now" I mumbled,
remembering the kiss we'd shared. When I looked back at Jasper he
was raising and dropping both of his eyebrows.
"So, what
happened next?" he asked and I sighed.
"She got a call saying
her brother was taken to hospital and she collapsed, so right now,
she and her brother are both lying in hospital beds" I said
angrily. Neither of them should be there. I turned back to Jasper
again and saw that his jaw had dropped.
"Is she okay?" he
whispered and I looked down.
"She's scared about Zach" I
whispered and he nodded. I felt completely numb, like I could help my
Bella with anything. My Bella? Where did that come from?
"I
can imagine. I remember when you got taken to hospital, Emmett and i
were out of our heads with worry" he said. I laughed.
"I had
the flu Jazz and I was 11. This is a five year old kid who fell off
the jungle gym" I said and then I became sad again. When Bella had
seen him, she'd collapsed and I had to help her.
"Still, we
were worried. Is her brother alright?" he asked and i shrugged.
"I
don't actually know how Zach is" I answered truthfully and Jasper
nodded before closing the door. I heard his footsteps fade away and I
took a deep breath; trying to clear my head from the day.
I decided to try and tune my guitar,
because I hadn't done anything to it since the gig. As I walked
over, I put my phone on charge across the room. I headed to my chair
in the corner of my room and picked up my les Paul. I started to
strum the chords, making sure they sounded in tune when I heard my
phone start to ring I groaned. I put down my les Paul and walked
across the room.
Bella Calling.
When did she put her
number in my phone? And when did she get mine? It didn't matter
right now. I pressed the green button and put the phone to my ear.
"Hello?" I said and I heard sobbing.
"I-I-I-I don't
know w-w-what I'm g-gonna d-d-do" I heard in a sob and I became
scared.
"Bella, what happened?" I whispered and she cried
louder.
"He's all I had l-l-left" she whimpered and I was
very confused.
"Who Bella? What happened?" I asked and she
sobbed quietly and it broke my heart to hear her in so much agony.
"It's Z-z-Zach… he…" she whimpered and then started
sobbing again.
"He what Bella?" I whispered, hoping to god it
wasn't what I thought it was.
"E-E-Edward… he d-d-died…"
