Shadow of the Day Chapter 5: Bella, I have some bad news, a twilight fanfic

EPOV

I was holding Bella's hand and resting my head against her stomach. I heard a gasp and looked up. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie were standing at the door looking at Bella, worry clouding their features. "Is she okay?" Alice whispered, not tearing her eyes from Bella's form. "As okay as you can be when a random guy stabs you in the arm." I whispered. Alice turned her attention to me and her already heartbroken eyes turned even more sad. "I'm so sorry, Edward." she whispered. "It wasn't your fault." I said back. I turned to Bella.

I'll be your distraction

There's a field nearby

With words written in stone

My love will not die

Please let it be known

This place is dead

It echoes through town

There isn't one voice

I haven't heard a sound

The planes flew in

Their bombs did too

The city fell flat

The fires, they grew

When the smoke comes in

It'll color this town

But I'll still have you

So I'll say it aloud

I'll be your distraction

The friendship we made

Is a waste of our time

There's no one left here

To show future that's kind

It's a world of hate

Gone incredibly wrong

We cared too late

We just followed along

And the boys went down

With a gun in their hand

Their weapon of choice

Their knees in the sand

If that field nearby

Was still there to be used

Would you ever have known?

Those words were for you

I'll be your distraction

I'll be, I'll be yours

I sang. It was from one of her favorite bands. Angels & Airwaves. Jasper had joined in with me in the middle of the song. Her eyes fluttered open. There was a sigh of relief from all around. "Good Morning, dear." I turned to the voice. I hadn't noticed that Carlisle and Esme had joined us. Bella smiled slightly at her adopted mother. She looked at me. "What happened?" I could feel the tears in my eyes. "Bella, do remember last night?" She smiled brilliantly. I took that as a yes. "Do you remember anything that happened this morning?" She giggled. "I remember Rose pelting you guys with Skittles and then she ran out to hang with me and Alice." I nodded. "Is that all?" she nodded and her smile faded. "Edward? What's on your shirt?" She asked, horrorstruck. "Is…is…that…is that blood?" she nodded. I sighed and nodded. Tears filled her eyes and I reached over and wiped them away. I heard a muffled sob and guessed it was either Alice, Rosalie, or Esme. Alice stepped forward. "Bella, we were sitting outside talking and laughing and this random guy comes up." She paused and took a deep breath. "He pulled a knife from behind his back and stabbed you." Bella looked at her arm and cringed. Alice and Rose climbed up on the bed with her. They wrapped their arms around her and they cried together. Carlisle walked into the room, a troubled look in his eyes. "Bella, I have some bad news."
