I woke up with the feeling of something on—no, in—my arm. I didn't dare open my eyes, but I screamed, "Get away from me, Victoria!"

"Emile, calm down. It's just the IV."

"B-Blaine?" I opened my eyes. I saw white, mainly, and I realized I was in a hospital. I looked at my arm, and a tube was sticking out of it.Oh.

"Hm?" Blaine was on the other side of me, his hair a splotch of black in an otherwise completely white room.

I pulled my other arm out from under my blanket to touch his face.

My fingers barely brushed his cheek when I saw my arm. It was badly bruised, and, in some places, cut from when I went through my window. I quickly put it back under the covers.

He put his hand on my cheek and said, "It's over—Edward got rid of her. Rosalie and Alice took care of cleaning and fixing your room."

"Oh, good." I grinned. "My mom would've had a fit about the broken window."

"We couldn't come up with a good excuse, other than that someone had broken in and tried to kill you when they found you there."

"It's mainly true." I thought for a minute. "What time is it?"

"Five-fifty a.m. Why?"

"My mom works until seven. Could you tell Carlisle to tell my mom I'm fine? And tell her not to visit until noon. I wanna sleep."

"Okay." He gently kissed my forehead and left.

A few minutes later, I heard a couple of footsteps, then "thump"—"Crap." It was Bella. "I am such a klutz."

"Hi, Bella," I said.

"Hey, Emile. I heard what happened."

"Yeah, well it was my fault—I was a bit too nosy." I waved my bruised arm as if to dismiss my nosiness.

Then I winced. The pain was coming back.

"You think that hurts? Try a bunch of broken bones, bruises, cuts, and tons of swelling. Happened to me last year when James… well... yeah." She shrugged.

"It's nice to see you looking somewhat normal, again, Bella."

"Uh… Thanks?" She tucked her hair behind her ear with a confused look.

I laughed, but quickly stopped when my side started to hurt.

"I was referring to what happened to you after Edward left. You looked… almost dead."

"Gee, thanks." She smiled.

"Why are you here so early, anyway?" I asked.

"I was up already, so when I heard the news, I dropped by."

"Where's Edward?"

"He's... hunting." She reached up and put her hair, which had fallen back in her face, behind her ear again.

"Ah," was my only reply.

Bella looked around the room awkwardly and winced when she saw the IV in my arm

"I'd better go home. My dad'll freak if I'm not in bed when he wakes up."

"Okay. Bye." She waved and left just as Blaine was coming back in, followed by Carlisle.

"Hello, Emile." Carlisle said, "Have you been feeling any pain since you've woken up?"

"Yes, a little."

"That means the medicine is wearing off. I'll get a nurse in here to re-administer it."

"Will I go back to sleep?"

"Yes. Very soon after you get it, you will fall asleep."

"Okay. Well, better than hurting, I guess."

Carlisle left, and Blaine took my free hand.

"I shouldn't have told you so much—I shouldn't have stopped by." He held my hand to his face, which contorted with guilt.

"I could've been worse, you know, if someone hadn't caught me."

"That was Alice," he said, "I wish I'd been there."

"Good thing she came when she did. Where were you?"

He still had my hand in his, and it was getting numb, but I didn't care.

"I was with the rest of my family. We were... busy."

The nurse came in and put something in my IV. A little while after she left, I started to feel tired.

"Blaine?" I mumbled.

"Hm?"

"'Night."

"Goodnight, Em."

Wahh! DX it's almost over!! Well, you'll all be satisfied.... or maybe not. I have no clue. Please review!
