Carlisle-POV
The heart monitor was continually beeping in the background. I'd just finished in the theatre room. The long but harsh beats of the heart monitor fortunately continues while I remain in silence. How was I going to go out and tell them? The white sheets were so crisp I could hear the quiet crackling of the bed sheets with Bella's breathing. So thin. So breakable. I stared straight ahead, beep... beep... I got up and went to the monitor and switched it to silent. As if I needed it. It was my fault Bella laid on this bed with as much life as a roadkill. We as a family had destroyed her on her demand and we were too stupid to see. If only someone could turn back time. I couldn't sit still, my hands trembling at the thought of losing her like we were all so closely were. The operation had gone well; she wouldn't be paralysed. However all I know for certain is I don't know when she will wake. It could be days, months or years before Bella even showed any signs of life. I detached myself from my thoughts and walked to the heart monitor and turned it back on so no one would become suspicious. I pulled the curtain around her bed and took a deep breath. I walked as confidently as possible to the waiting room where two upset mothers and a devastated sister waiting for me to return with some news. "Hello Renée" I exclaimed in my most professional voice. I wasn't being replied to so I looked up to see the wide open mouthed women gawping at me. Well that was convincing. I shook my head and walked over to a spare seat. "Bella's operation went okay." I started. "She will be okay is all I could manage to get out before Renée launched herself across the room to hug me. Don't thank us Renée it's our fault she is in this state in the first place. She backed away, already sobbing and turned into Esme's arms. There was an awkward silence in the room, the white crisp curtains were leering a little sunlight into the room. I stood and closed them fully, aware of the querying stares coming from Renée.
"I'm going to go speak to Edward again, he keeps ringing me" Alice finally announced.
"NO! DON'T LET THAT LYING VINDICTIVE CREATURE ANYWHERE NEAR THIS HOSPITAL LET ALONE ANYWHERE NEAR MY DAUGHTER!" Renée unexpectedly screamed. Some nurses were running our way in shock, but with one hand gesture they immediately stopped and turned to other patients but still throwing wary glances in our direction. I walked over to Renée.
"Edward may have done some wrong but he shouldn't be called such things Renée, he honestly didn't know that Bella would turn out like this he was doing what she asked of him."
"Well maybe he should of thought about it before he left my daughter sobbing on A FOREST FLOOR! Telling her that she was nothing but a toy to him and to his family and she wasn't wanted everything was a lie!" She sobbed back hysterically. That took me back. It felt like a thousand daggers burst my heart. Edward. He lied! How could he lie to our faces! The last I knew was that he and Bella had come to an agreement that it was best if Bella moved on without us! I stepped back and turned for the door dragging Alice with me. I was going to show him a price of my mind and fast.
