13. The worst day after ever!

Epov:

"Bella, why do you smell like a distillery, whose blood is that and why do you look like a common….prostitute?" There was a loud guffaw from behind me. "I would agree with dad on this one and say you look like a prostitute but damn... that is more like high class hooker!" Emmett said from the living room doorway. I looked at myself for the first time; I was wearing black high heels, a blue denim mini skirt that, glancing at my backside, barely covered my ass, a low-cut tight fitting white blouse with a really low cleavage line and rounding of the picture perfectly was a black denim jacket. My entire chest was covered in blood.

Of all the clothing Alice could pick she just had to pick these. "Emmett you're not helping and dad it's worse than what it looks like, it's not my blood. I'm just going to go take a shower and then I'll tell you all about it. Emmett phone Alice and get an update on Edward please." I turned and walk out of the living room, leaving behind a furious Charlie. "What happened to Edward?" I heard Charlie ask Emmett and I tuned out the rest of their conversation. I closed the bathroom door and took of Jessica's clothing. I reminded myself that I should remember to wash these later today when I returned from the hospital.

I forced the events from the party from my mind, I will have to retell the events to Charlie and there was no need for me to go over it twice. I thought about everything accept blood, beer and how sore my face was going to be when Bella and I swap back. Stupid woman making meaningless love confessions, breaking my hart by every drunken word she muttered. What the hell was she thinking when she kissed me, it was the weirdest experience of my life. It even surpassed having periods, there really was no words to describe being kissed by yourself. Then afterwards she just had to go and ruin everything.

I turned of the water and folded Bella's big comfortable towel around me before running across the hall to her room. I got dressed in her sweats and taking a deep breath headed down stairs. Charlie was seated on the couch staring at the television but the screen was in total blackness, it wasn't even on. Emmett was staring out of the window; I froze blood draining from my face. "What is going on?" I asked in barely a whisper, by the way Emmett's shoulders pulled together and Charlie's head jerked I knew something big was wrong. Was it Bella? Were things worse than we originally thought?

"Jacob has just been released from the hospital, he has a broken arm and some scrapes and bruises but apart from that he is perfectly fine. Edward is still being treated; Alice will give us an update as soon as they get updated themselves." Emmett said from the window but he didn't turn around when he spoke so I couldn't see his facial expression. Why was Bella still being treated? The injuries didn't look that severe. "What are you not telling me?" I asked now looking at Charlie; he was the grownup so he would be the one with all the answers.

"Forget that for now Bella, tell me what happened at the party and don't leave anything out." I wanted to scream in frustration but I knew that if I pushed them for information they were not going to give me anything. I felt so frustrated, I wanted to go to the hospital and now I have to waste time on telling Charlie what happened. "Before I tell you what happened, answer me just one question first. Is Jacob going to press charges against Edward?" I walked over to the single couch in the room and pulling my legs under me I looked at Charlie waiting for an answer. "Yes he is on his way to the Police station as we speak. Now tell me everything and start at the beginning." I closed my eyes and let the evening's events play down in front of my eyes before I opened them and looking Charlie straight in the eyes, told him what happened.

"I arrived at the party at six with Emmett and Rose, wearing a t-shirt and some jeans." I just added the information of my clothes so that Charlie would know that I wasn't dressed like a hooker when I went to the party. "I danced with Emmett a couple of times and then when the dance floor became too crowded, we joined Rose at the back of the room where we could watch all the people. We only drank clean coke, at seven Edward and Alice arrived. I remembered the time because Emmett was growing restless from having nothing to do and wanted to know how long we've been at the party already. Anyway, Alice dragged Edward onto the dance floor immediately and before the song ended I went to find a restroom.

The line of people waiting in front of the bathroom was pretty long and that is were Edward found me a little while later. He was pretty sloshed already; I don't know how many beers he had consumed already. Anyway, I asked him to wait for me while I used the bathroom, when I was done he was gone. I went down stairs and found him at the beer stand picking up another beer, I tried to stop him but he didn't want to cooperate and not wanting to cause a seen I let him be. I managed to get him outside figuring that the fresh air might clear his head a little. The air didn't help at all, when his beer was done he wanted another but I tried to lead him to the car to take him home.

He resisted and pulled me back, uhm then… uhm…" I was at a loss for words. How was I supposed to tell Charlie that his daughter, while trapped inside my body, was intoxicated and laid one on me? "Then what happened, Bella?" Charlie asked a little irritated. "We…kissed." I said in a whisper looking at the floor and waited for Charlie's outburst. When he didn't say anything I looked up, he just stared at me and a muscle in his cheek was jumping. "Anyway, I pulled away after I recovered from the shock and Edward, who was leaning on me allot, fell down when my wait suddenly disappeared. I bent down to help him up, when he got sick and vomited on the ground and my shoes.

Somehow I managed to get him on a garden bench and went back inside to clean myself up and to search for Emmett so that he could help me get Edward in his Volvo. As I maneuvered through the crowd someone dumped their beer on me. I reached Emmett, Rose and Alice and told them what happened, Emmett and Rose went outside to help Edward and Alice grabbed my hand towing me to Jessica. She convinced her somehow to borrow me some clean clothes and when I was changed we went back outside to see how they were progressing with Edward. He was in the Volvo but was sitting in the drivers seat insisting in driving himself home, Emmett had the keys and was insisting that he drive Edward home.

Jacob was on his way home when he must have heard Edward and Emmett arguing and came to investigate. He saw that Edward was drunk and then when he spotted me, he said something about how I needed a real man to straighten me out. I said that if he saw a real man he should let me know, I should really just have kept my big mouth shut and this could all have been avoided." Emmett slammed his hand on the window sill in anger. "It wasn't your fault, what Jacob said was way out of line. I would have beaten him up myself if Rose and Alice didn't hold me back." Emmett said turning around for the first time and for the very first time in my life I was afraid of him. Anger was rolling of him, "What did he say?"

Charlie asked calmly trying to keep the atmosphere tranquil. "He said that mom was a whore and that Bella was following in her footsteps." The muscle in Charlie's cheek began jumping again and his face turned a red color as blood began rushing to his brain. "Then what happened?" He asked through his teeth. "Jacob climbed in his brand new car and drove of; Edward grabbed the keys from my hand, I was caught completely of guard since I was focused on Jacob. Edward locked the doors, started his car and chased after Jacob for some reason. We ran to my Jeep and drove after them; we found Edward's Volvo crashed into the side of Jacob's car at the side of the road, a few miles from La Push. Both of them were unconscious, we called an ambulance.

Alice drove with Edward in the ambulance to the hospital, we dropped Rose at her house and we came home. We just wanted to change clothes and head over to the hospital." Emmett concluded the story for me, "I don't understand….why did Edward chase after Jacob?" Charlie asked. Because Edward is really Bella and she looses her temper very easily and when Jacob insulted their mother the alcohol clouded her judgment and she chased after him.

Of course I couldn't tell them that, "I don't know but when he comes out of surgery maybe he can tell us." Emmett said, Charlie didn't say anything for a while. He finally rose to his feet. "Well you better go to the hospital and see if he is alright then. I'm going to the station and find out what Jacob has to say." He didn't wait for a reply and left the room, Emmett and I glanced at each other before following Charlie out of the house.

We said nothing on the way to the hospital, I thought back to that crash scene. Bella's face was covered with blood and her breathing was labored, I wanted to drive with the ambulance but they would only allow family members. We both walked to the entrance of the hospital quickly, both impatient to find out if Bella was ok and terrified for her at the same time. I walked past the receptionist to the emergency waiting room. Esme, Alice and Carlisle sat together holding hands, Jasper and Rosalie sat across from them and it was heart breaking to see them look up expectedly, only to look back down when they saw that it was only us.

I gave Esme's shoulder a small squeeze before joining the others on the opposite side. "Why are Esme and Carlisle not in there trying to save their son's life?" Emmett whispered to Rose. "Because Doctor's are not aloud too operate on family members." I said and whished I could tell them that I was their son. I wanted to tell them that I was fine and that the person in there, fighting to stay alive, was Bella. I wanted to tell them that they didn't have to worry about me and that I was really perfectly fine. Instead I sat in my seat and whished with every fiber in me that there truly was a merciful God and that he would spare Bella's life, my life.

I prayed like I've never prayed before, I didn't chance to look at the others in fear that I might see the same thing that I was feeling, that Bella was not going to pull through. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours and hours felt like days dragging by. Finally the doors opened and a doctor stepped into the despair filled room. Carlisle and Esme stood up; they were gripping each others hands so tightly that their knuckles turned white. "Carlisle, Esme we have done all that we could. He is still in critical condition in the ICU; we stopped the bleeding on his brain as well as repaired his broken leg. He also has two broken ribs but until he regains consciousness we will not know if he has brain damage. As you would know, the next twenty four hours are crucial, if he doesn't wake up….well we are definitely hoping for the best."

Carlisle pulled Esme into him and hugged her shaking body. Jasper was holding a sobbing Alice and Emmett were taking care of Rosalie. I had nobody; the person I cared about most was in the ICU fighting to stay alive. I couldn't handle it anymore; I was not going to let Bella die. I walked over to Emmett, "Can I have the Jeep's keys please?" Emmett looked at me and he must have seen something there because he handed over his precious keys without hesitation. I grabbed the keys and without looking back at the room left the hospital, I climbed into the Jeep and drove of. I wasn't thinking nor was I concentrating on the road, eventually I pulled over and began to cry.

I felt so hopeless, why haven't I taken my chances to tell her how I felt about her? All those years spent on mindless banter and fighting, I should just have told her when I realized that I loved her. Now she will never know. I would never know how it would feel like to kiss her and what it feels like to really hold her in my arms. Through my tears I looked up and recognized where I was. Forks Museum: house to Forks's history. I glanced at my watch and saw that it was eight thirty in the morning. I climbed out of the Jeep and headed inside the museum, no one was insight.

I walked to the room that had the statue in it, I looked around the room and when I was satisfied that no one was there, I sat down at the statues feet. "Hey, I don't know if you can understand me but I need you to listen to me. When you first met me, I was fighting with a girl. Now I want you to know that this girl means the world to me, I love her and I would do anything for her. This girls name is Isabella Swan, she is laying in the hospital fighting for her life. Since you swapped us we've been through hell and back, I've been through deathtrap bras, periods, waxing, manicures and pedicures and I cleaned up after Bella's family.

Now I don't know what exactly the point is to this swap but I need you to change us back. I can't take anymore tests, I can't let Bella die. I don't care if my body dies but if it has to die then let me be in it. Just let Bella live…please just let Bella live." I don't know how long I sat on the dust covered floor in front of that statue with tears rolling down my cheeks begging it to spare Bella's life. When the old man found me I was cold and stiff and little aware of what was going on around me. "Are you ok honey? Here let me help you up." He grabbed my arm and heaved me to my feet.

"Have you sorted out your dilemma yet child; you were here with that other boy. You wanted to know about the statue." I just nodded as I tried to recollect all of my bearings. "I've heard he was in an accident and was in a coma until about a half an hour ago." I froze and looked at the man. "What did you just say? Did you just say that Edward woke up?" He frowned and nodded, I didn't wait a moment longer and began running for the museum door. I think I heard the old man shout that running wasn't allowed in the museum but I didn't care. All I concentrated on was the fact that Bella was awake; I climbed into the Jeep and jammed the keys into the starter, cursing loudly when they fell on the ground.

Finally grabbing them successfully, I managed to start the Jeep and sped towards the hospital. As I ran through the electrical doors, I spotted Charlie, who was on his way out. "Bella I have been so worried. Where have you been?" he asked and I slowed down to a walk breathing heavily. "Later dad, what room is Be….Edward in?" I asked and he barely said the room number before I stormed of again. I ran the stairs to the third floor, too impatient to wait for the elevator. I burst through Bella's private room door and every head was turned to me. Great now how do I explain my behavior?

"Sorry…. they said ET was in this room and I just had to see for myself. But I'm glad you finally joined us too, Edward." I said jokingly and everyone laughed. Bella grabbed her ribs when she laughed and I felt a twinge when I saw the pain in her face. "Don't make me laugh Bella. Way weren't you around my sickbed when I woke up?" She asked as I fell onto the nearest empty chair. "Long story but I'm here now. So how are you feeling?" I asked concernedly. "Like I've been in a car crash." I smiled; if she was making jokes then she at least didn't have brain damage.

The others began talking to her again until the nurse came and injected her with pain medicine. She fell asleep shortly after that and we decided to come back later during visiting hours. I decided to get some sleep and before falling on my bed I set my alarm for five pm, send God a thankful prayer and fell on my bed. I fell asleep before my head literally hit the pillow.

I groaned when my alarm went of but when everything came rushing back to me I flew out of bed, lost my balance and fell on the ground. Typical I would not have one clumsy moment all night yesterday but when everything seemed alright, I would eat floor. I stumbled to my feat and pulled on some clean clothes. I only paused to make sure that my clothes matched before I headed downstairs. I snagged Emmett's Jeep keys and drove to the hospital. Rose or Charlie could give him a lift later, visiting hours starts around seven and I wanted to speak to Bella alone for just awhile.

Luckily with two doctors as parents, I knew every inch of this hospital. I snuck in and was in Bella's room before the Jeep's engine had time to cool of. To my surprise she was awake, watching Spongebob Squarepants. "Hey stranger." I said and sat down on the chair next to her bed; she smiled one of my goofy smiles and switched of the television. "Not that I'm not grateful or anything, but how did you get in here?" She asked sitting up more comfortably. "I have my ways, how are you feeling." I asked glancing at her monitors with an eagle eye for any indication that something might be wrong.

"I'm fine; I have so many pain pills in my system that I won't feel anything for the next few months." Satisfied that she was in no pain or danger I looked at her. "Bella we have to talk." She held up her hand, "I know, I'm so sorry about your Volvo Edward. I'll pay you back every dime, I swear I will." I gave her a look that said, are you freaking kidding me. "I wasn't talking about the car but now that you mentioned it…. I think a lifetime of servitude, should be suffice. Yeah I think that settles it, now I want to talk to you about what happened before the crash." She began talking quickly again. "I swear I'm never going to drink again in my life, I'm so sorry Edward, I don't know why I drank that much in the first place."

I shook my head, "Woman you are driving me insane, I don't care if you drink a whole swimming pool of beer. Ok maybe I would but that is beside the point…why did you kiss me Bella?" I asked capturing her gaze. "Just forget that, that ever happened, Edward. I was drunk and have already forgotten about it, believe me that is just one of the things, I regret doing yesterday night." I heard how my hart cracked and then broke into a thousand pieces. She regretted kissing me and wanted to forget about it. Sure I thought it was gross and I also just wanted to forget about it but some part of me kept whishing that just maybe it had a deeper meaning.

"Edward is something wrong?" She asked grabbing my hand. "No nothing is wrong, if you want to forget about it then its fine. It's not important at all; you really scared me you know." She sighed, "I know and I'm sorry like I said, just forget the kiss ever happened." I frowned and then smiled lightly, "I was talking about you almost dieing Bella, I wasn't talking about the kiss." She chuckled softly, "Oh right…well sorry about that too. Why were you so worried in anyway?" I shrugged, "If you died I would be stuck in this body for ever you know." She made a shocked face, "Ouch that hurt, so where did you go while I was fighting for my life?" Why did she have to ask the one difficult question after the other?

"I went to the museum." She frowned and I cursed myself for not just lying. "Why did you go there?" She asked not wanting to be frown of track. "It's not important Bella. I didn't plan on going there in the first place." I hoped that she would leave it there but alas she wouldn't be the person I loved so much if she didn't insist on knowing in anyway. "Ok but you went there so what did you do?" I sighed and to my surprise told her what I did there. "I begged the statue to swap us back." She looked at me surprised. "Why, I mean that would have placed you in this dieing body and would…would…" I quirked both my eyebrows, waiting for her too finish the sentence.

"That would have placed me in a healthy one. You could not have known that I would wake up; you could have died if we did swap back. I don't understand Edward, why would you do something like that for me?" I was spared an answer when Esme walked in taking up all Bella's attention. Carlisle followed Esme into the room and I heard Alice in the hallway. I snuck out the door when nobody was watching. Bella might just finally know that I love her; I am not sticking around for her to reject me. I walked like a zombie to Emmett's Jeep; I drove home without knowledge if I even stopped at the traffic lights. I walked to Bella's room and fell on her bed; I was done trying to win Bella's heart.

I never was good enough for her; she doesn't feel the same way about me. I don't know when I fell asleep but when I woke up everything was fussy. There was a blinding pain in my head, my leg was folded in a very uncomfortable position and it wouldn't budge when I tried to move it. There was the sound of beeping in my room, must be a cell phone or something. Someone moved at the side of my bed and my head felt heavy when I tried to lift it to see who it was. "Relax Edward, its just nurse Henderson. I'm going to give you something for your pain."

I couldn't concentrate on what she was saying but I was pretty sure she called me Edward. My eyes felt heavy all of a sudden and darkness was threatening to overtake me. "Not Edward, I'm Bella." I mumbled or I think I mumbled before darkness consumed me.

A/n for some reason I loved writing this chapter, I had to read it twice because I seemed to think faster than what I could type and had to make sure everything made sense. Seriously there were sentences like; Run hospital doors Charlie coming out. Anyway I hope all the sentences make sense and that you didn't see something like this happening in the story. My ankle is mostly back to normal so thank you for the well whishes.
