BPOV:

I was flying through the darkness, the rain splattering against my face. I could hear the angel, its beautiful voice screaming. Such a voice shouldn't sound so pained.

"Bella, Hold on honey! Oh Bella, please hold on!"

I could hear the faint beat of my heart in my ears, and my entire body was numb with cold. My mouth tasted of iron, and my head was spinning. I tried to open my eyes, but it hurt too much. All I wanted to do was just sleep.

"Bella, stay awake, baby, ok? You need to stay awake for me!"

The poor, frantic angel. Please just let me sleep…

The beating in my ears stopped, and I felt no more cold. I could finally sleep…

Beep… Beep... Beep…

Oh, what was that noise? I was warm now, and I could feel someone tugging at my arm.

Beep… Beep… Beep…

My eyes wouldn't open, and all I could see behind my eye lids was white. There were people yelling. The noise hurt my ears and made my head throb. It was nothing like the angel…

Beep… Beep…Beep…

Something was pushed onto my face, as something sharp dug into my hand. I yelled, but nothing came out. My throat was so sore, and there were people touching me. I could feel them, ripping off my shirt, pushing things onto my chest. I tried to tell them to stop it, to leave me alone, but I couldn't speak.

Beep……. Beep……. Beep……

The beating in my ears was back, but it was so soft. I could barely hear it.

Beep……Beep……

The beating faded with the yells.

Beep……

Something cold hit my chest, and I slammed upright. Once, twice, three times. The beating in my ears instantly became louder, and I heard someone say "She's back."

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Darkness enveloped me again.

I could hear the angel talking, and it was the most beautiful sound. I tried to open my eyes, but they were swollen. I listened to the angel speak. He was angry…

"Carlisle, stop blocking my thoughts and just tell me what happened!"

"Alright, Edward, but you need to calm down first, alright? She is going to be fine. It was close, but she will pull through."

"How bad is she?" his voice was barely a whisper.

"She has a concussion, but it's the smallest of our worries. He broke three of her ribs, and they punctured her lung. She very nearly drowned in her own blood. The scratches tore open her carotid artery, and she could have easily bled to death if you hadn't found her. Her heart stopped twice, so we had to use the defibrillator to get it beating again, but Edward, she is going to live. Please, calm down."

"I will kill that filthy mutt." Edward growled viciously.

"Were going to keep her here for a few days to make sure that all of the fluid has been properly drained out of her lung. We have repaired the artery in her neck, but she will most likely have some scarring. Other than that, she will be fine. Now I have to go check on her blood work, so I will be back soon to check on her."

The room went quiet. I forced my eyes open, but everything was blurred. I wanted to hear his voice again, so I tried to sit up. The only thing I could manage to do was lift my right arm slightly, but then some sort of wire stopped me.

I was starting to get mad, so I tried again. I grabbed onto a metal bar that was close to my hand and gripped it as tight as I could, and jerked myself forward.

That was a mistake.

As I got myself about halfway up, a sharp pain shot through my chest and knocked the wind out of me with a loud whoosh.

"Bella! What are you doing, Love? Lay back down before you hurt yourself!"

I tried to speak, but there was something in my mouth that prevented me from doing so.

"Don't try to speak, honey. They have a tube down your throat as of right now, but the nurse told me that they were hoping to remove it tomorrow." He stepped into my line of very poor vision, and when he looked down at me, and his beauty startled me yet again. His eyes were black, and his hair was disheveled as if he had been running, but his eyes were plastered with anguish.

I wanted to ask him a question, but I couldn't make myself speak. I held my hand up and made a motion like I was writing, hoping that he would get what I was trying to tell him. He did. He opened the drawer of the nightstand next to my bed and handed me a small pad of paper and a pen.

Don't worry Edward. I'm ok. I think I remember a little of what happened. Is Jake alright? I wrote.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He looked at me, and then at the floor, pinching the bridge of his nose like he always did when he started to get angry.

"Yes, Love, Jacob is fine. He is actually around here, somewhere. They had to take him for a cat scan, I believe. Paul hit him with a tree branch and knocked him out, but im sure he has healed himself up already."

How did you know where to find me?

"I had Alice keep an eye on you while we were hunting, because I couldn't be with you that night. Me and my silly old fashioned traditions." He laughed bitterly. "She saw you sitting on the steps in your backyard, and then she saw you walk towards the woods, and you disappeared. I panicked, and ran to your house, and that's when I saw him…standing on top of you…"

His hands clenched into fists and squeezed his eyes shut. I stretched my hand up as far as I could and stroked the back of his with one finger. He smiled at me, though it didn't touch his eyes, and brushed the hair back from my forehead so that he could plant a kiss there. His cool lips felt wonderful against the hotness of my head. I started writing again.

I heard Carlisle say I stopped for a moment, afraid that I would upset him further if I continued. I looked at him to gauge his reaction, and he gave me a small smile, obviously wanting me to continue.

That my heart stopped. Edwards body went completely rigid as he stared down at the words that I had written. I couldn't tell, but I think he even stopped breathing. The moment his eyes met mine again, they looked so pained that, if it had been physically possible for him, im sure he would have been crying.

"I didn't know that you were awake for that conversation, Love." his voice was barely a whisper, but I nodded for him to continue.

"Yes, My Bella, it is true. You lost a lot of blood when he sliced your artery, and the rest was pooling into your punctured lung." he placed his hand over his eyes, but he kept talking, his voice cracking.

"I lost you twice this day, but I have to believe that someone out there wishes for me to be happy, because they brought you back to me." I was crying now, and I couldn't stand another minute of not touching him. I reached up as far as I could and brought his head down to mine, and he planted kisses all over my cheeks and forehead. At that moment I was angry at the fact that the plastic tube that had been helping me breathe was now preventing me from pressing his lips to mine.

I patted the empty space on the bed next to me, and he chuckled lightly. I patted again with a little more force, and he began to move some of the wires that I was attached to just above his head as he slithered his way under them and climbed carefully into the bed next to me. His hands hovered above my body as if he were afraid to touch me from fear of hurting me, but after a moment, he laid his hand on my stomach. The one part of me that didn't hurt. Just then, another question popped into my head, so scrambled for the paper and pen and began scribbling.

How long have I been here?

"About twelve hours." he said simply.

What about the wedding?? He placed his hand on the side of my face softly.

"Im afraid that we will have to push it back a little while until your healed, Love." I began to cry again, and he shushed me tenderly. "Bella, sweetheart, the date does not matter. The only thing I care about is that you are still here to marry me!"

I Love You, Edward. He laughed softly and whispered in my ear…

"Not half as much as I love you."

It was my turn to laugh, even though it hurt, and I wrote one simple word.

Liar.
