Chapter 8

EPOV

Once I saved Bella, I had to get out of there; there was just too much blood. At least when I was outside I could think straight.

What had I done! The whole auditorium must be freaking out. They would all be wondering how Bella got to the wings of the stage so fast. They must have all seen her trip and then she was suddenly standing in the wings with a huge gouge in her head. I don't even know how that happened, I was sure I hadn't scraped her head on anything when I pulled her out from under the lights.

While I was thinking about all these things, a small part of my mind was thinking about the smell in the auditorium. I could have sworn I smelt another vampire in there, but my worries for Bella overcame my curiosity.

When I had finally gained control of my 'blood thirsty side', I walked back into the auditorium, holding my breath. I saw a crowd standing around one person on the floor.

No, no, no, was all I could think as I ran through the crowd, to Bella on the floor. I looked down at her and the pile of blood next to her. Flames rippled up my throat, but I ignored them.

Why had no one tried to stop the bleeding? I thought.

I unbuttoned my shirt and ignored the inappropriate whistles coming from some students. I tightly wrapped it around her bleeding head, in a feeble attempt to stop the bleeding. I once again ignored my savage side as I picked her up off the floor. The monster roared in fury that I was denying it of her delicious blood. The pain it was causing me to just hold Bella was like someone rubbing a white hot iron up and down the sides of my throat. All it would take was to press my lips to her throat, pierce the skin with my razor sharp teeth, and suck her luscious, sweet blood.

Wait, this was Bella I was talking about, Bella. The love of my life, and I was thinking about sucking her blood. I was disgusted at myself.

"Edward, we have to get her to the hospital" said Mrs. Cope in a hoarse voice. She must be affected by the blood, I thought.

"Sure thing, I'll take her there now. You take care of the lights" I answered.

She nodded and faced the students "Okay everyone, we have to get everything fixed up, don't worry about Bella, Mr. Cullen is taking her to the hospital now" she said, as I walked out the door.

As I walked, I tried not to jolt Bella as much as possible. When we arrived at my car, I put her in the passenger seat and walked around to my side of the car. I reached over to Bella and grabbed her arm, feeling for her pulse. It was slow and irregular.

That's not good, I thought.

As my car purred to life, I heard Bella groan and her eyebrows creased together.

"Bella, sweetheart, are you awake" I whispered, as I drove 50km/h over the speed limit. I had to get her to the hospital fast, otherwise she will lose too much blood, and I needed to get out of the car as soon as I could, otherwise my control might slip.

She just groaned again and lifted her hand to take the shirt around her head off.

"No you don't" I said, pulling her hand back down to her side.

"My head hurts" she groaned, her eyes still closed.

"I know my love, we'll be at the hospital soon" I said quietly.

'Love?' she mumbled.

Crap, I shouldn't have said that "I didn't say love, I said darling" I lied smoothly.

She didn't speak again during the car ride.

When we got to the hospital, I carried her in to the emergency room and walked up to the girl at the reception desk "Hi, I was wondering if Dr. Cullen was free?"

The girl was young with long blond hair, and looked stunned by my shirtless ness "Umm…I'll see what I can do" she said, looking me up and down.

"Wow, he's gorgeous, I wonder if he's single? How could I slip him my number?" she thought.

"Edward, what do we have here?" called Carlisle from down the hall.

"She was practicing for the school play and some lighting fell on her" I explained.

"What are her injuries?" he said, unraveling my shirt from her head.

"A large cut on her head" I answered.

"Wow, Edward, this is a lot of blood, how can you stand here?" he thought with an astonished look on his face.

"Shouldn't we attend to Bella first" I insisted.

"Oh, yes of course, follow me" he said walking off down the hall he came from. I followed him to a small room, where I put Bella down on the bed.

"How did she become unconscious?" He asked.

"Umm…I don't really know, when she first cut her head I had to leave the room, and when I came back she was already unconscious" I explained.

"I'll have to go and get my equipment; she'll need about 8 stitches. You'll be fine here?" he asked.

"Of course Carlisle, I drove her here remember" I said assuring him.

"Okay, be right back" he said leaving the room.

Soon after he left, Bella groaned again and her eyes flicked open. "Where am I?" she asked franticly.

"We're at the hospital, Carlisle went to get stitches." I said coming to sit at her head.

"Stitches? Why?" she asked confused.

"Because you cut your head open, silly" I said rolling my eyes.

"How did you do that? You were at the back of the auditorium, and then you were there holding up the lights, and then we are over here standing 3 meters away from the lights…" she trailed off.

"I was standing in the wings, Bella. I saw you trip and I pulled you out of the way, that's all that happened" I said seriously. How did she remember all that? I thought.

"No, you were at the back of the auditorium. I saw you" she said stubbornly.

"Bella, you hit your head, I think you're delusional" I said smoothly.

"I know what I saw" she said with an annoyed edge to her voice.

"Well know one's going to believe you" I said smugly.

"Why would I tell anyone? I just want to know the truth" she said with pleading eyes.

"Please just drop it, please" I said looking away.

"Fine, but I can't see why you can't tell me the truth" she said crossing her arms.

"You're quite hilarious when you try to be angry" I chuckled.

She pushed out her bottom lip which only made me laugh harder "I'm just so relieved you're okay" I said putting my head on her pillow.

"Am I mistaken, or did you call me love in the car?" she asked, looking deep in my eyes.

"Umm…yeah…I didn't mean to say that…you're probably freaked ou-" I was cut off by her lips on mine.

Every time we kissed it was like pure ecstasy. I doubt she felt the same but she was my life, she was the most important thing in my life. Our lips' moving together was bliss.

We were interrupted by someone clearing their throat; I looked up to see Carlisle standing in the doorway with his arms crossed.

I pulled away quickly and jumped up out of my seat.

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, What do you think you were doing!" he thought.

Uh oh… Carlise knows, cliffhanger or what?
