Chapter 3 : Jake who?
Dad came into the room followed by Alice and Rosalie , where is Edward? "Bells , oh baby are you feeling okay?" dad asked sounding on the verge of tears . " Mr. Swan?" a burly male officer said coming in "is she awake?" looking in my direction dad pointed the officer to me . "Miss Swan, my name is Officer Jones, can you tell me what happened?" pulling out his notepad and pen getting ready to jot down any and everything I told him. "Where is Edward?" I asked , Officer Jones looked confused.
"The young man that brought you in?" he asked "Well dear he is talking to my partner at the moment , but as soon as he is done you can talk to him." I turned to Alice and she knew instantly what I was about to say "Don't say it , I'll go tell him you're awake. " she said and was gone . Doctor Carlise came in when I turned to looked at Mr. Jones. "Miss Swan please..."the officer said "Mike I think that she is still in shock, please give her a little while to fully understand herself what has happened and I promise you I or my wife will come and get you . "Carlise you know that is not protocol." never taking his eyes away from the officer Carlise said "Mike I know this but she is a very dear family friend , we will not do anything to get you into trouble. I promise. " Not sure if he was supposed to do as the doctor requested he said "five minutes, then I have no choice but to take her statement." "Thank you ." Carlise said as the officer turned to leave . "Mike , and I went to high school together and was best man and Esme and mine's wedding. Okay Bella I know that you are in a lot of pain so this should make you feel a little better. " sticking morphine into my iv drop "Bella please tell the officer exactly what happened and who was there to the best of your ability. " dad said looking furious now. Dad is the town's fire chief so when he got the call that I was injured he high tailed it to the only hospital here. My mom was killed in a car accident when I was tweleve and so I could just tell with all that is happening dad must have a ton of emotions all at once.
"Bella ..." Edward said as he walked in the tiny hospital room "Bella , I was so worried. Are you okay?" with tears forming swimming pools in my eyes "Edwarddd."
Crying now I looked away but was greeted with a big hand touching my face and bringing me to look him in the eyes. " Can we please have a minute before Offier Jones comes back?" Edward asked the rest of the room. In unison everyone left.
Confusion must of crossed over my face , because what Edward said next almost gave me a heart attack.
"Bella I told them everything , about how Jake beat you and how you called me. " " Edward ... I ... Jake he uh...how did you know? Where is Emmett?" I asked suddenly relising that Edward's older brother was no where to be found when I woke up . "He is talking to the officer now , but he is still pretty pissed Bella, and how the hell could I not just put two and two together?"
"Jake told me to not tell any one , he said to tell them I fell and that it would be believable due to the fact that I am very clumsy, after he left I ran up stairs to check the damage that's when I decided to call you , when you answered it all came to me at once with what just happened. Please don't leave me alone." I was despretly reaching for his arm to pull me closer to him. Edward and I have always shared something special through the years , he was my rock . "I have no where I would rather be more." reaching down to kiss my forehead. "Bella?" Rose said peeking her head through the door "uhh Officer Jones would like to talk to you now." "Okay Rose send him in please." Edward was asking Rose. Rose and I are cousins so when she started dating Emmett, it felt like a match in heaven .
"Bella, how are you doing?" Officer Jones said while walking through the door "have you had a second to collect your self?"" what a prick "Yeah , for the most part."
"Okay then let's get started. Can you please tell me what exactly happened last night " I told him everything from how Jake and I argued at the Cullen's to him using me as
a punching bag. I also told him that I feared for my life now that I knew what Jake was capeable of . "Okay thank you Miss Swan , I need you to know that he is already being picked up as well as his brother Sam, also you might have to testify if it came down to it. " shit, what the hell am I getting myself into? "Thank you sir." Edward said shaking his hand "We will make sure him or his family come no where near her. "
Two months later...
"Of course Alice , I know . I know 5:30 at Mike's Diner before prom. Yes the dress you picked out is fine. No , it fits perfect , yep thanks again. " when I finally hung up the phone I looked at the clock 3:30, okay so just a little time to do my hair and make up and throw on the black speggetti strap dress with no backing , and matching three inch heels . Do I have time to shower and shave or just hair and make up? Since the accident I had healed up almost completly and had not heard from Jake. Edward and I how ever had spent every waking minute together. Stepping out of the shower I heard "Lean on me " and knew Edward was calling . Nearly killing my self on my rug while I ran to my night stand "Ouch ...Hello?" "Bella ... ARE YOU OKAY?" laughing with how worried he was I said "yeah, what's up ?" "Oh okay just wanted to see if we were meeting everyone for dinner?" "Yeah , didn't you talk to Alice? Okay well anyways we are to meet them at Mike's at 5:30 and then head to prom. "
Mike's is this really awesome 50's style diner , and well with a population of 1038 and only a few resturaunts where else would you go?
"Okay be there in an hour." we said our good byes then quickly glanced at the clock 4:00 , shit. luckily my hair was short for the time being so I decided to curl it and then apply my make up. By the time I was applying deoderant and perfume I heard "Bells Edward's here."
Feeling like a sexy super star I made my way down the stairs , making sure my date was fully taking in what he was seeing " Bella you look amazing." he said "Watch it boy !' dad warned, a sly smile crossing my face . " you ready to go ?" he asked after what felt like the millionth picture "Yes!" I said . After diner with the gang we were finally in the limo on our way to our senior prom. Alice was bringing a college guy , uh I think that his name is Jasper, Rose and Emmett were making out toward the back and Edward and I well we just sit here. Do I take his hand? Do I make out with him? Shit I know that with all that happened he is taking things slow but hell I am not a grandma.
"Finally!" Alice screamed , Alice and Rose talked about this for weeks so I could understand how excited she would be with the theme, "Romance in France."
Edward and I made our way to the picture booth, then to the voting table, and as we were about to hand in our votes "Bella." I knew that voice anywhere.
