Here we go... I'm surprised none of you guessed the one it actually is... Mwhahahahahahaha.. It's not Jacob..
Edward POV... Midnight...
Bella's back arched off the couch and her lips fell open. She let out her first blood curdling scream of the day. Her scream lasted for a minute and 30 seconds. I swear Jasper wanted to scream with her. She collapsed onto the couch and clamped her jaw.
"I have to get out of here." Jasper gasped out. He bolted out the door and Alice followed after him. I wiped away the tear on her cheek and rubbed my other thumb on the back of her hand. She relaxed under my touch for a little while.
About an hour later she clamped her jaw shut again. Her back arched again and she let out another scream. This scream didn't last as long but was louder. I stared at her helpless. She was in pain and I couldn't do anything but watch.
"How do you stand this?" Rose asked me quietly.
"I can't but I can't leave her either." I said just as quiet.
5 in the morning...
It's official, Bella can clear a house of vampires by screaming out in pain. They all feel bad for her but can do nothing about it. Rose and Emmett went hunting about 3 in the morning and haven't come back yet. Esme and Carlisle left as well about half an hour ago.
I ran a damp wash cloth over Bella's forehead as she relaxed into the couch, again. I honestly wish this day was over. I don't know how much more I can stand to see my Bella in pain.
8 in the morning...
I swear, my family have evacuated the state. If Bella's screaming gets any louder a human could hear it from a mile away. I ran my hand over Bella's cheek as she screamed for the 15th... 16th? time this morning. I lost count after the 9th.
"I'm so sorry my love." I whispered over and over. She collapsed back into the couch with a sigh. Her heartbeat was elevated and her breathing heavy. Hearing her scream only brought back my memories of my change.
Bella POV...
I couldn't stop the screams of pain now. It was just too hard. I had no clue on how long I had been out. Or how much longer I needed to feel this way. The only thing I had to keep me sane was Edward's breathing. Whenever I screamed his breathing hitched and quickened. I could feel his hand on my cheek or forehead then his other hand never left my hand.
I have been counting his breathing since I started screaming, regularly. I was at 46,819 breaths. I couldn't hear the family anywhere near-by. Edward kept whispering things to me. I could only focus on about half of what he was saying. And what I did hear, I could hear the pain, worry and love in his voice. I wanted to reassure him, to tell him I was okay but, One: I wasn't exactly 'okay' and Two: I couldn't exactly talk.
46,834
As the fire continued to rip through me I screamed again. Edward gently squeezed my hand and his breathing picked up.
46,857
I laid back on the couch and Edward drew circles on my hand.
46,864
Edward POV...
As another scream ripped though the silence I heard someone's thoughts. I sat up just a bit and looked out the back window. It wasn't any of my family. I rubbed circles on Bella's hand to keep myself calm.
They can't be here. Not now. I need to stay with Bella. I can't deal with them. Bella collapsed on the couch and they walked through the yard and stood in the middle of it.
So if it's not Jake who is it?
