Now on with the story! Enjoy!

All Around Me

Saved…

Beep. Beep. Beep.
I sighed. Everything was white. Is this heaven? Did I die? Crap.
Beep. Beep. Beep.

What the hell is that annoying beeping noise?
Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Charlie. Charlie, wake up…I think she's awake.
Who's that? It sounded so familiar.
Beep. Beep. Beep.

I let out an exasperated breath. Something was underneath my body. Something very soft. A cloud? Maybe I am dead? Maybe I'm just hallucinating.

I tried to move. Owww…Even my eyelids were heavy. I felt someone's breath on my face. "Charlie, come on wake up. Bella's almost awake." So I wasn't dead. That has to count for something.

I finally forced my eyes opens and if I could scream I probably would have. Someone was inches – no centimeters – away from my face, but everything was so blurry I couldn't make it out. My head felt like it had hit the floor ruthlessly along with every other inch of my body. Well now that I think about it that is probably what happened. The person over me moved to a chair, I'm guessing, which held a very hazy blob in it, and tried to shake it awake.

"Charlie, Charlie, come on wake up. Bella's awake." The blob said shaking the other.
Finally the other responded. "Ugh- w-what?"

"Wake up. Bella's up, come on!" "I-I'm go-ing." The blob, which must have been Charlie, in the chair said stiffen a yawn. The original, still unidentified, person came back over my…bed? I was on a bed I realized. So I must be in the hospital…ugh again. I should have a membership discount here or something.

My surroundings were noticeably less blurry. The face in front of mine was becoming clearer and I could make out the sharp features.

"Edward?" I just barely whispered. I couldn't even tell if he heard me. A soft hand touched my face, but it wasn't the cold sensation I expected, but it yet sent a chill down my spine. The soft hand the touched my face felt like it had been baking in the scorching sun. "No Bella, it's not Edward."

Finally the face came into view and I had to blink several times be it struck me- "Jacob?" I murmured in confusion.

"Yea, it's me." He whispered back with a smile. What the heck was he doing here? And what's with the smile. He's so hot…not hot, but like he's burning up, not like- oh forget it! His hand is just has an extremely high temperature that's all. But he has gotten taller…again! My lord when is this kid going to stop growing!?

Charlie came up next him. "Hey sweetie, how do you feel?"
"Like I got ran over by a truck." I coughed.
"Don't worry; doctor said you'll be feeling better in no time at all." Jacob reassured me.
"What happened?" I asked softly, my eyes started closing again. I was so tried all the sudden. Charlie answered-

"I could ask you the same thing Bella. I came home and found the kitchen covered in blood!"
"N-No dad…that wasn't blood, it was just sa-sauce."
"Oh thank heaven!" Charlie exclaimed, even Jacob let out a noticeable sigh in relief.

"I couldn't believe, and then there was these terrible, terrified screams coming from up stairs. Of course I ran up and found the door jammed, and then the screams just stopped, as if someone was choking or something." Charlie then turned slightly, and I assumed he was looking at Jacob-the-blob.

Charlie continued; "You're lucky Jake here came right behind me and before he even knew what was happening he rammed through the door. But we were too late you were already falling to the floor unconscious." He paused and then continued. "Jake carried you to the car and we took you to the hospital, you had a cut across your neck and…"

Jacob murmured something I couldn't understand.
"Honey…can you hear me?" Charlie asked anxiously.
"Y-yea"
"Can you tell me what happened?" Jacob just nodded softly, agreeing with Charlie's question?

"What do you mean?" I said trying to keep my eyes open.
"Well, all we saw was you in the air, starting to fall, and finally hit the floor."
"Yo-you didn't see anyone else?" I tried to swallow, but almost choked.
"No, you just fell." Jake told me flatly.

"But-t there was another man in the room." I said with as much strength as I had left.
"Bella," Jake looked confused, bewildered, as if I was crazy; "no one else was in your room."
"Jake's right sweetie, no one was there." Charlie added gently

"B-but…" I fought to keep my eyes open. I had to find out why-why…my eyes finally closed. I couldn't take it anymore, unconsciousness won in the end and I dozed off, more puzzled then before. Why was I the only one who saw him?

AN: Love it? Hate it? Review it!
