Chapter 3: Waking Up

Edward's Perspective

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groaned. What on earth is that annoying beeping sound? It can't be my
alarm, its summer for god's sake.

I heard footsteps hitting the ground. That's weird; I had carpet in my room.

I opened my eyes to see what on earth was going on around me and where I was.

"Oh thank God." I heard someone sigh. I looked around to see that a man I recognised as Dr. Brandon was to my left and a woman that must have been his wife was kneeling to my right. In the doorway was a pixie looking girl.

Why'd she look so familiar? And why was I in a hospital bed?

"Where is Bella?" I asked before I could stop myself, I wasn't quite sure why I wanted to see her but I did.

As my eyes swept the room and I saw the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes on.

She had the brown, wavy, waist length hair, a pale complexion, pink lopsided lips, and the most peaceful expression on her face. She was curled up in a little ball on one of those hard hospital chairs, sleeping, Bella was here.

The only problem now was that Bella was all I could remember, I still didn't quite understand why I was in hospital. Was there something wrong with me?

Then it all hit me. Emmett calling, the swings, the two girls in the park,
the pixie, the car, the darkness, the beautiful voice that sounded like chiming bells.

"Edward?" Dr. Brandon said, interrupting my thoughts. I turned my head to him.

"Are you alright?" he asked, looking concerned.

"Um...." my voice cracked, "What's happened to me, exactly?"

"Well, you were hit by a car hard in the chest. They put there brakes on
hard enough and soon enough to not cause fatal damage. You have some ribs fractured and a couple breaks. Some damage was caused to your stomach, but nothing severe, and you'll have some scars, but if treated properly they won't show prominently" he answered with a grim look on his face.

"Oh. Wow that's a hefty list" I said, my eyes wide.

"You forgot the best part though" Pixie said from the doorway. "The person who ran you over is known as subject X. She was an escapee. Guess where she escaped from...a mental institute. You got run over by an insane asylum escapee." She burst into a fit of giggles.

"What? Really?" I asked shocked.

Everyone nodded, grinning.

"Alright, now Edward, is anything in pain? Any discomforts?" Dr. Brandon asked.

"Um, no I'm fine" I replied with a grateful smile. I was grateful that people were looking out for me while my parents were away.

"Okay then, press that button there if you need anything," he said, "I'm not on duty, but the doctor on duty will take good care of you."

I nodded and he left. and Mrs. Brandon kissed my forehead and followed him out.

Pixie entered the room further, laughing slightly at the goddess Bella in the chair.

"Ugh, she NEVER leaves. Do you know how long it's been since we've gone shopping together?" Pixie complained.

"Um, no, I'm sorry, I don't" I hesitated, was that a rhetorical question or was I meant to answer?

"Let me just tell you, a long time? Like, since last Friday" she said in a tone of disgust.

"Wait, what day is today?" I asked.

"Monday, you've been out for 3 days" she replied matter-of-factly.

"Oh, really?" I asked, three days was quite a while I wondered what I had missed while I was out.

"Yep. Oh, hi, I'm Alice by the way" she introduced herself, holding out her hand.

"Edward" I replied back, shaking her hand.

"That's Isabella, Bella for short" she told me pointing towards the sleeping beauty, of course I already knew that, but I hadn't actually spoken to her yet so I just went along with it.

"Aha" I nodded.

"So, how old are you?" she asked me.

"Twenty, you?" I replied.

"Eighteen. How long have you been here, I know your Dr. Cullen's son, but I haven't seen you around" She said. Man this girl has a lot of energy; she was practically bouncing where she stood.

"I just moved back here a week ago for summer break, I attend Dartmouth" I answered and I saw her face light up.

"No way!" she shouted. I didn't know why that was so unbelievable.

"Bella and I just got accepted there" she explained when she saw how confused I probably looked. I couldn't help but smile, I liked the idea of Bella coming to Dartmouth.

Seriously what is wrong with me, I don't even know her!

"Ah. Hey do you have a brother?" she asked.

"Yeah, Emmett, how'd you know?" I answered. Man could she talk, she never shut up.

"I know everyone, which means I know everything. Well, almost everything anyway" she answered, looking a little disappointed about the fact that she didn't quite know everything.

"Yeah, he's in Hawaii with his fiancée and her family" I laughed.

"What's her name?" she asked curiously.

"Rosalie, Rose for short. She's my age and has a twin brother Jasper" I answered, "They go to Dartmouth too."

"Cool." She smiled excitedly.

"How about you, you got any good friends/family?" I asked.

"Well, Bella's my only friend" she answered, sadly, "She says it's because no one else could handle my shopping trips and makeovers, she thinks I give too many, but if I didn't, she would dress like that all the time and you and I both know that she's way too pretty to be hidden by all those baggy clothes. Anyway, I really only know Bella well."

"Any parents?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, you just met my parents" she smiled.

"Really, I never knew that," I said, "I knew they had a daughter but I didn't know you were their daughter."

"Yep" that's me she laughed.

It grew silent. Suddenly a Taylor Swift song came blaring out of nowhere.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I have to take this" Alice told me leaving the room with her phone.

Bella stirred.

"Oh, you're awake." She said her voice muffled with sleep.

"You too" I joked, causing a beautiful blush to cover her cheeks making her look all the more beautiful.

"You have a very lovely blush," commented, I couldn't help myself. She blushed even more and I couldn't help but laugh.

"So, um, I'm Bella" she introduced herself.

"Edward" I smiled up at her.

"How long have you been awake?" she asked.

"Long enough to hear I got hit by a car by an insane asylum escapee" I laughed.

She giggled "Alice told you?"

"Yeah, she also told me that she's dying to go shopping again" I informed her.

Panic spread across her whole face, and she groaned

"What's wrong with shopping?" I asked, finding her reaction surprising.

"You've never gone shopping with Alice, you wouldn't understand" she sighed.

"What's so bad about it?" I asked, somehow I couldn't help but think that that cute, hyper, super talkative pixie could be capable of dangerous things.

"Well, imagine walking through an entire mall, twice, going into every
store, buying something in every store. For 8 hours" she told me.

I stared at her, my eyes wide.

"Can you really shop...THAT LONG?" I said in awe, surely she was over exaggerating.

"She goes every weekend. She'd go everyday if they made clothes fast enough and we didn't have school" she answered in a completely serious tone.

"Wow, she really has an addiction doesn't she?" I voiced.

"Yeah, no offence but your my excuse to not going, and she HATES shopping alone, my sister's too young to handle it" she laughed.

"I don't mind" I chuckled.

"You need anything?" she asked.

"No, I'm good" I answered and then Alice entered the room.

"Hey, sorry that was Bella's pare-Hey Bella, finally awake I see" she laughed and then walked over to Bella to hug her.

"Yep, hello Alice" Bella laughed hugging back her friend.

"Hi, oh, your parents called, they said something about your phone must have dies or something and then they told me to tell you that you HAVE to go home for tonight" Alice explained to her.

"Okay" Bella sighed, giving in.

Once again the room filled with silence and I noticed Alice and Bella having a silent conversation.

Alice was tapping her foot, Bella shook her head no, Alice tapped louder, Bella looked down, Alice stopped tapping, Bella looked up and glared at Alice. Alice had the biggest puppy dog face on, I saw Bella's glare melt away, then Bella nodded. Then the silence was broken as Alice clapped as she jumped up and down.

"We have to go." Bella said and Alice squealed.

"I'll meet you at the car" Alice said after another one of those weird silent, speak with body language and facial expressions conversations.
Bella nodded and once Alice left, she started gathering up her things.

"What was that?" I asked confused.

"Alice wanted to go shopping" she explained with a laugh.

"Oh, well, it was nice meeting you" I said.

"I'll try and stop by tomorrow…I if make it that long" she said with complete seriousness in her voice.

Note to self: Never go shopping with Alice.

"Oh, what did she mean about your parents saying you had to come home tonight" I asked, remembering a weird part of the conversation I couldn't quite comprehend.

"Um....I've kind of been sleeping here, I hope you don't mind, I just wanted to make sure you were ok" she mumbled looking embarrassed.

"No, no, no not at all" I said and she looked comforted. "But I am wondering...WHY you stayed?"

"Ummmmm, I've got to go, Alice is going to kill me if I don't leave now" she said quickly. I recognised what she was trying to do.

"I'll get it out of you" I shouted as she walked out the door.

"I highly doubt it, see you tomorrow" she laughed popping back in through the door.

"See you" I laughed.

Then she left. Tomorrow couldn't come sooner, and it wasn't because it was one day closer to leaving this place. It was because of a brown haired, blushing, attractive, pale goddess.
