Chap 2

Recap: I sat Bella down and looked deeply into her eyes. I loved her so much. I cupped her head in my hands and bent down to kiss her, but before I could, she fell limp in my arms.
"BELLA!!!!" I stared down at her motionless body. What have I done?
Carlisle walked into the hospital room with a sad look on his face.
"How is she?" I already knew the answer.
"Bella has brain damage and might have memory loss, but we'll just have to wait until she wakes up to see," Carlisle said, then left the room after a sympathetic smile.
My heart fell. What if she doesn't remember me? And what will we tell Charlie if she doesn't?
I walked over to the chair beside her bed and sat down. How could I do this to her? Slowly her eyes started to open.
"CARLISLE!!!" I yelled. "She's awake!"

I opened my eyes to see a beautiful boy with bronze hair and topaz eyes standing above me.
"CARLISLE!!! She's awake!" he screamed.
My head throbbed and every muscle in my body was stiff. Everything around me was too bright and it hurt to keep my eyes open. A moment later, a young blond doctor came in and stood beside my bed. His badge read, "Dr Carlisle Cullen."
"Bella, do you remember who I am?" he asked slowly.
"Who's Bella?" I asked, very confused.
"You're Bella," he replied. Strange, I thought. I don't remember being Bella.
"Do you remember me?" asked the boy. He looked kind of familiar, but I couldn't place who he was.
"No," I said shaking my head. I saw his face fall. "I don't know either of you. Where am I?"
"You're in the hospital, Bella. You had an…uh…accident," the doctor answered.
"Odd," I said aloud. The doctor started talking to the boy in hushed tones. I could barely catch their words.
"She's got memory loss, Edward," he said solemnly. So his name is Edward. Interesting, I thought to myself. Once they saw me looking at them, they started talking quieter. After a moment, they turned to face me again.
"Do you know where we are?" the one called Edward asked.
I had to think about this for a minute. "The hospital?" I guessed remembering what they'd said a few moments before.
Carlisle looked at Edward worriedly. "I'm afraid she won't get her memory back." Edward looked like he was about to cry. But he didn't.
"How could she not remember me?" he said flatly to Carlisle. "She has to remember!" Edward looked pained, like he just died inside.
"What's wrong?" I asked wondering why everyone was so sad. When they didn't answer I asked another question. "How do I know you guys?"
"Well," Edward said cautiously. "I was your boyfriend." He glanced at the doctor, thought for a moment, then said, "And he… is my friend."
"Oh," I said quietly.
"Get some rest and we'll check in on you later," the doctor said warmly. And then they left.

How could I do this to my Bella? I thought walking next to Carlisle as we exited the room. How could she not remember me after all this time? She will never be the same Bella that I love. I wanted desperately to cry. But I couldn't.
"She needs to stay a little longer," Carlisle said softly.
"What are we going to tell Charlie?" I asked. "He can't know about this."
Carlisle thought for a moment. "I don't know," he responded quietly. Carlisle went back to work and I looked around for a phone to call my family.
When I finally found a phone, I called home and Alice answered.
"Hello?" she said.
"Alice! There was an accident. Bella…"she cut me off.
"I saw what happened. We're on our way." Then she hung up. I looked at the phone, shocked. With nothing else to do, I went back to Bella's room to watch her sleep and wait for my family to arrive. When I walked in, she was resting peacefully. Just when I thought I would be alone with Bella, the rest of my family charged in.
"Bella!" Alice screamed waking her up. She ran over to Bella and gave her a long hard hug.
"Umm…hi?" she replied.
"Ohmigosh I'm so happy to see you!" Alice squealed. "As soon as you're all better we're gonna go shopping and…"
"Alice, I need to talk to you for a minute," I said. She didn't even acknowledge my presence.
"And after we shop Rose and I will give you a makeover…" Bella looked scared now. Alice anxiously continued oblivious to everything else around her.
"Alice!" I yelled.
"And while the boys are out hunti—''
"ALICE!!!" I screamed.
"What?" she replied, obviously annoyed.
"I need to talk to you for a minute. It's important."
"Fine, fine. Talk to you later, Bella."
I pushed Alice out the door and into the crowded hallway.
"She has memory loss," I said. "Bella can't remember any of us. She can't remember anything."
"What?" Alice screamed. I saw a few heads turn. "How could you have done this to her, Edward?!" I glared at the people who were still staring and they quickly looked away.
"How can you say that?! Do you think I meant to do this?!" I argued.
"Well you're the one who squished her head!"
All of a sudden, we heard screaming coming from Bella's room. We rushed in and found her having a seizure.
"CARLISLE!!!" Alice and I yelled.
I sat next to Bella and tried to calm her down. When that didn't work, I started to panic.
"CARLISLE!!!" I yelled again, not wanting to leave Bella's side to go get him myself.
A moment later, Carlisle strode into the room, took a look at Bella, and immediately called a nurse to bring him an IV and some antibiotics. After Carlisle and the nurse gave her the antibiotics, she calmed down. Then they left to check on other patients. Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, and Esme stood in the room with confused looks on their faces. I then explained about the accident and her memory loss.
Soon after I finished talking to them, I glanced at Bella who was sleeping and I noticed a strange rash developing on her skin.
"CARLISLE!!!" I yelled for the fourth time today.
"What now?" he said appearing in the doorway.
"Oh," he said rushing over to Bella. After a moment of inspecting her rash, he said, "It looks like she's having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics we gave her earlier. Edward, do you know if she is allergic to any kind of medicine?" he asked.
"No, not that I know of."
"I think you all need to leave the room so I can do a few tests," Carlisle told us. I was reluctant to leave, but obeyed after a glare from Carlisle.
After what seemed like hours later, Carlisle finally emerged from Bella's room with a look on his face that implied there was bad news. We all gathered around him awaiting the news about Bella.
"If we don't do something fast, Bella will die," Carlisle stated bluntly. My face fell. This is all my fault! How could I have done this to her? I thought. I shouldn't have come back. This would've never happened. Alice shot an evil glance at me. I didn't have to read her mind to know that she was furious with me.
"I'm afraid that the only way to save her, is to change her."
