BPOV
Alice burst through the hospital door.
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN! Have you officially lost your mind?!" she screeched at me.
"You must be Alice," Edward said, "I'm Edward."
"Nice to meet you," she said and shook his hand.
"Well?" Alice said turning to me.
"Alice, I can't begin to tell you how sorry and stupid I am."
"Well I guess that's a start," she said. "But you owe me for scaring me half to death."
"Trust me Alice, I will make it up to you."
"You better." she said.
"Edward, why don't you get some dry clothes?"
"I'm fine, Bella"

I frowned, "Do I need to get Alice to get you to go?"
"Alright," he sighed, "I'll be back in an hour at the most." I watched him walk out, and Alice turned to squeal at me.
"How incredibly cute was he?!"
"I know," I sighed.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"A guy like him has GOT to have a girlfriend." I told her.
"Well it's nothing that can't done away with a makeover and some tight fitting clothing." Alice said nonchalantly.
"Alice! I'm not the boyfriend stealing type!"
She mumbled something that sounded like 'not if I can help it'. I glared at her.
I decided to look around the room. I hate hospitals. Everything is clean and perfect and I don't know I just hate them. You are practically never there for a good thing. Hospitals almost always mean bad news.
I looked down and saw an IV I'm my wrist I swallowed and looked away. Another thing I hate about hospitals: needles.
My throat felt really sore from all the salt water, and my chest was killing me. I probably had broken a rib or two. The salt water must have dehydrated me too; I was unbearably thirsty.
"Alice?" I asked.
She looked up from the magazine she was reading. "Yes?"
"Can you get me some food, or tell a nurse to? While you're at it you should get some food for yourself."
"No problem," she smiled. She put the magazine down and went to get me some dinner.
A few minutes later a nurse came in carrying a tray with a slice of pizza, some jello and a water.
"I never got to ask anyone," I started, "what exactly are my injuries?"
"Well you have two broken ribs on the right side, a minor concussion, and most likely a sore throat, right?"
"Yeah, it's pretty painful."
"Well here try this," she said. She pulled out a small white bottle.
"Open your mouth and say 'ah'," she told me.
I did as I was told and she sprayed a cherry flavored substance at the back of my throat. It instantly started to numb it, easing the pain.
"Thanks so much..." I said looking down at her name tag, "Angela."
"Glad I could help."
She walked out and I started nibbling on by pizza. I assumed Alice had taken my advice and got some food for herself.
"You are seriously accident prone."
I looked up to see a big muscular man standing in my doorway.
"Emmett!!!" I squealed. If I weren't confined to the bed, I would have jumped up and hugged him.
I had grown up with Emmett I'm Chicago but when I moved away, he stayed. He now goes to college at North Western. We would visit each other from time to time but it's hard because air fare is expensive.
"Emmett please don't tell me you came just because of this," I told him, "I'm perfectly fine."
"I actually had a surprise visit planned for today; it just came at the right time. And Bella, you aren't exactly fine."
"I'm fine enough for you not to have to come all the way to Seattle for me."
"Whatever you say Bells. So what happened anyway? Alice didn't give me much details over the phone, and what she did tell me was hard to hear because her high pitched voice was in overdrive from worry."
"Well, I saw people go cliff diving one day..." I decided to start from the very beginning and tell him everything I knew.
"And here I am now," I finished.
"Well where is this Edward character?" Emmett asked suddenly getting all protective.
"He went to get a change of clothes," I stated and glanced at the clock. "He should be back any minute," I continued.
"Good. I want to meet him,"
"Well don't get too uptight and crazy around him okay?"
"Fine," he mumbled.
Alice came in through the door then.
"Alli-poo!!" Emmett yelled. I'm pretty sure the whole hospital heard him.
Alice was engulfed into a hug from Emmett as she told him, "Never call me Alli-poo again."
He chuckled, but didn't push Alice any further. She was just an energy bomb waiting to explode.
"Well I came straight here from the airport so I'm going to unload my stuff at your place. I'll be back later," Emmett told us. Alice tossed him a key and he caught it on his way out.
"Here, Bella. I was able to get a hold of a pen and a notepad. I thought you might need it," Alice said as she handed them to me.
I smiled at her, "Thanks."
She knows me better than anyone; I would need to write a song to get over this.
I sat up and thought for a minute. I had a few lines of the refrain in my head already. I just needed verses. When in doubt, make some of it up. I uncapped the pen and started writing.

Remember those walls I built?
Well baby they're tumblin' down.
They didn't even put a fight,
They didn't even make up a sound.
I found a way to let you in,
But I never really had a doubt.
Standing in the light of your halo,
I've got my angel now.
It's like I've been awakened,
Every rule I had you breakin,
It's the risk that I'm takin,
I ain't ever gonna shut you out.
Everywhere I'm looking now,
I'm surrounded by your embrace.
Standing in the light of your halo,
I know you're my saving grace.
You're everything I need and more,
it's written all over your face.
Baby I can feel halo,
Pray it won't fade away.

I put the pen and notepad down, satisfied with what I had. I would write the rest later.
"May I see?" Alice asked softly.
"Sure," I told her. She took the note pad from my out stretched hand and looked it over.
"Wow, Bella. This is really good. You should put this one to piano instead of guitar this time. It's more of a piano like song."
"That what I was thinking too." I smiled at her.
Edward came in through the door. I looked up and smiled at him. It had been a long time since I smiled at someone other than Alice, Emmett, or my parents.
He was wearing a form fitting dark green tee that showed off his muscles and brought out his beautiful emerald eyes.
I realized I was staring and I looked down. I heard him chuckle and I blushed twenty shades of red.
"What's that?" Edward asked me about the notepad in my hand.
"Uhh...." I stuttered as I tried to think of something. "Its a shopping list of clothes for Alice to get me because I hate shopping."
He seemed to buy it and wasn't interested in looked at it, so I let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Something dawned on me.
"Alice what time is it?" I asked her.
She pulled out her phone and said, "Almost ten thirty."
"Edward! You should probably get going," I told him.
"I just got here!" he exclaimed.
"Yeah, but it's ten thirty, and it's a Sunday night. I'm pretty sure you're not much older than us, if you're older at all, so you must have a class tomorrow."
"Well I'm starting my senior year so you guessed right," he said avoiding the subject.
"Exactly. So go back to campus and go to bed!"
"Bella, don't worry about it. I skip all the time," he said nonchalantly.
"Edward!" I protested.
"Fine, fine. You are so stubborn. I put my number into your phone. Call me if you need anything," he said before leaning over to kiss my forehead.
"Goodbye Bella," he whispered and gave me a breath taking smile that made his emerald eyes sparkle.
"B-bye," I stuttered.
I watched him leave and said to Alice, "God I'm such an idiot! I can't even carry out one word without him making me stutter!"
"Oh Bella, I read that guys like it when they dazzle girls."
"I sure hope so," I muttered.
"Don't worry, you two are perfect for each other," she said.
"Alice! Are you high? You just met the guy a few hours ago!"
"I know these things," she said and smiled at me.
It's true. She did know these things, but I just couldn't be sure yet.
I lied down and let a deep sleep over take me.
