-Edward-
I hadn't talked to Alice since she said she was going to a party and I wanted to call and make sure she was ok. I called several times before I actually got an answer.
"Hello this is Mr. Benson with the tri-county paramedics. May I ask who this is?" My heart stopped to my toes and panic took over. It took me a few minutes before I could actually answer the man.
"I'm Edward…Edward Cullen. This is my sister's phone. Is she ok?" I knew the answer was obviously no if a paramedic was answering her phone. I had my shoes on and car keys in hand before he even answered me.
"She has been in a car accident. We are taking her to Floyd County hospital. Do you know how to get there?" His voice was full of sympathy and I hated thinking about my little sister being hurt.
"Umm…I know its off exit 126 and I turn left but I'm not sure where to go after that." I hoped he would give me directions quickly and go tend to my sister.
"First light left, third stop sign left, hospital is on the right. We'll be there in about 20 minutes."
"Thank you! Tell her I love her and I'm on my way." I ended the call and threw it into the passenger seat of my Volvo. I sped through town till I got to the highway. The highway was dead considering it was 2 am. I drove as fast as I could until I pulled up to the hospital entrance. I made it here in 25 minutes and hoped that I could get some news about Alice. I threw the car in park and ran as fast as I could into the building. There was a nurse at the front desk and I quickly gave her my sister's name and explained that she should be here by now.
"She arrived a couple minutes ago but she wasn't conscious. They took her straight to surgery. It may be awhile but as soon as the doctors know anything they will let you know." SHE WASN'T CONSCIOUS! Panic hit me again and I just nodded my head at the nurse but my feet couldn't move. Please lord let me sister be ok! PLEASE! The nurse told me to feel free to have a seat but I couldn't budge from the spot I was standing in. She stood up, came around the desk, and wrapped her arms around my shoulder as she led me to a seat in the waiting room.
I had called our parents and told them everything. The said they would be heading to the airport to get on the next flight into town. I called Bella to let her know but her cell kept going straight to voicemail. I couldn't bring myself to think about what she had said several hours ago. I hoped that nothing happened between them but she never showed up at my house to talk about their date like she always does and her cell is dead. So the odds are they had sex.
I sat in the waiting room for four hours before a doctor stepped into the room and asked for Alice's relatives. I quickly stood up and walked to his side. He pulled me into the hall to tell me what was going on with Alice. Before he started talking, the weight on my shoulder was getting heavier and heavier.
"Mr. Cullen, I'm Dr. Richard. Apparently your sister was hit head on by a drunk driver. She crashed caused her to break one rib, cracked two others, sprang her wrist, and she broke her left leg in three places. She lost a lot of blood and that's why she wasn't conscious when she came in but we've fixed her up. She has a rod and a couple screws in the leg and her wrist and ribs are wrapped up. You can go in her room and wait for her to come around. It may be another hour or two."
"So she's ok?" I asked.
"Yes. She is going to be very sorry and she's going to need a lot of assistance the next several weeks but she is going to heal just fine. She is on bed rest and isn't to move unless she has to go to the rest room. She will come back every two weeks so I can make sure she's healing right."
"Thank you so much doctor! Can I go be with her now?" He agreed and led me to her room. When I walked in the tears filled my eyes and running down my cheek. My tiny sister was lying in bed, her foot was pulled up with a leg lift thingy, her arm was wrapped up tight. She has bruises showing everywhere, and she had her arms placed on each side of her crushed ribs.
I walked to beside her bed and held her hand. I didn't care how long it took her to wake up. I'd be here regardless. An hour passed and she didn't budge. I was glad it was Saturday so I didn't have to worry about work today. At 7am my mom called to say that they landed and were grabbing something to eat before they make they're way here. I asked them to pick me and Alice up some hamburgers…I'm not sure what she's allowed to eat so I'll have to ask the next time a nurse came into her room. About 7:20am Alice started to open her eyes. She closed her eyes immediately and blinked a few times, getting use to the hospital lights obviously.
Once she opened her eyes and looked at me I could see the confusion she noticeably felt. "Where am I" she whispered.
"You got in a car wreck early this morning and now you are in the hospital" I said through my tears. "You were hurt better bad sis and I thought I was going to lose you. I've never been so scared in my life. I love you Alice!"
"Calm down Edward and please explain everything a little slower this time."
I explained the facts that had been passed from the police, to the doctor, and then to myself. I told her about her broken, cracked, and sprained bones. I let me know mom and dad were on there way and that she was lucky to survive this. I told her I loved her over and over again throughout explaining everything. "Do you remember the wreck Alice?"
"I remember head lights, the squealing of tires, the sound of glass breaking, and everything else is just a blur." I was thankful she didn't remember pain or maybe she did and she just didn't tell me. She took a deep breath and cringed in pain. My poor sister!
She doctor came into her room a few minutes later. "Hello sunshine! How are you feeling?"
"Sore…very sore!"
"This is morphine and it will help with the pain. We've already put the IV in your arm and knew that you would be in pain." He said as he placed a bag of liquids on the side of the IV stand. "This is the button to release more into your body if needed. Press this nurse button if you need anything at all."
"Thank you. Doctor before you go…when will I be able to leave the hospital. I'm not a huge fan" she said with her gorgeous Alice smile.
"In about a week. Do you live alone?" He asked.
"Yes but I have friends close by."
I looked at her with pleading eyes. "Alice I would appreciate if you would move in with me so I can help take care of you while you heal."
"I don't want to be a burden."
"Ali you are never a burden and Dr. Richard said you will need a lot of assistance. I have vacation time saved up at work so we can have a month of brother and sister time. I wont leave you alone at your house. Please Ali!"
"Ok then…I guess you will be making room for your sister then." She said with a half smile.
*Well…Im not a doctor or medical in any way but I hope yall enjoyed this chapter. POOR ALICE!*
