Disclaimer: I don't own twilight, But I wish I did own Edward and Emmett Cullen. But sadly no. The only thing I own is my laptop and this story.
Last time:
"What's up with her?" For the third time I picked up my phone and dialed my moms cell. Ring, Ring, Ring. The third ring was interrupted when a male voice picked. "Oh...um...?" Why did this man answer my moms cell?
"where's my mom?" I started going hysterical.
"Calm down, it's Dr. Cullen," Oh, my heart felt lighter, "I would like you to come down to the hospital..."
"Why? What Happened? Don't tell me moms involved?'' I couldn't take it anymore, my heart got heavy
like someone was sufficating me. I felt like I was drowning, I felt my face warm up with the tears that were falling.
There was an uncomfortable silence.
"What?! What happened to Renee?!" I was freaking out. I had to sit down and breath, what happened to Renee? Why her? There was another round of tears, my head was pulsing and I felt numb.
"I would like for you to come down to the hospital, so I can explain things properly," He tried at talk professional, but I knew he truly wanted to comfort me. Nothing could comfort me right, now. Nothing.
"Recovery"
Chapter 5
Carlisle's POV
"Okay, Shannon, I'm going home," Today was a busy day, we had two emergency surgeries and some minor cases. I almost fell to the floor laughing when a kid, about 13 years old, came in and asked for an Elmo bandage. I was hanging up my lab coat in the back room when I heard sirens coming from the side of the building headed for the emergency entrance.
"Dr. Cullen?" Shannon popped her head into the room, looking worried.
"Yes?"
"We have an emergency patient, we need you to help," I picked up my white coat and dashed with Shannon to were all the noise was coming from.
"Keep pumping air into her," I heard one of the paramedics tell another. Then the paramedics wheeled in a woman on a stretcher, unconscious. Did I know this person? The features on the persons face were so familiar, at the same time different.
"Doctor!" I heard Shannon yell as she ran to the bruised body, "Sir! Lets take her to the emergency room, now!"
I got a hold of my movements and started to run to Shannon, who was already wheeling to stretcher to the ER.
"What happened?" I asked taking hold of one of the paramedics who was passing by.
"There was a major accident on route 1, Doctor. It was raining uncontrollably hard and it was foggy, this woman was driving in her car when she hit the side of the road and slipped off, her car then rolled down the medium high cliff. We were then called down to help her, sir. She went straight through the front window and has deep cuts in her face. She was all unconscious when we found her and she hasn't responded to any of our questions, she's so badly injured that we could match her record to identify her." The paramedic look sorry, as if they were late and couldn't help the woman anymore.
"Alright, you've done your job, I'll go do mine now," I said letting go of his arm and started to run to the ER.
"Good luck!" Do I really need luck for this patient, had even the paramedics think she wasn't going to make it?
I shook it off and went to wash my hands in the sterilizing room. Shannon pulled on the teal suit that went over my own cloths. I walked into door on the right and found the familiar but distant face waiting for me.
Her eyes were opening, looking up at the ceiling, not moving. Her face had a jagged tear from the side of her nose all the down to the bottom of her chin, she was covered in little cuts and lots of little piece of glass.
"I'm going to sedate her, to make sure she doesn't feel any pain. She's opening her eyes, which is a thing," I took out a syringe from the side cabinets and filled I with a numbing medication.
As I injected the liquid into her system, her eyes fluttered then closed, forfeiting to the power of the medication. Then I took a scalpel and started to take every piece of glass in her face. One-by-one, the pieces clicked into the bowl on top of a table next to me. When I was done, I disinfected the wounds and stitched the wider cuts. After I wiped the face of dried blood, I stopped, I couldn't move, it was as if my feet where nailed to the floor. I figured out who this mysterious woman was, Renee Swan.
I gasped. How could I not of known? How could have been so stupid! I have to call Bella, and now.
After I was finished cleaning her up, I called Shannon and another nurse to take Renee to a room and get her set up. Before I took Renee to the operating room, I had to clean out everything she had on her person. I took out: lipstick, gum, house keys, wallet, and ....yes!!! A cell phone!
The front screen of her RUMOR said that she had 2 missed calls. I was going through the contacts trying to find Bella's number. Just as I was about to press TALK, the phone started to buzz. I exited CONTACTS and the front screen now said Bella Swan. I didn't know how to tell Bella this, she was like my daughter, how could I let her know this and not hurt her?
I had to pick up, on the third ring I answered.
"Hello?" I asked, my voice sounding deeper then usual, how will I tell her?
"Oh...um...?"
"Where's my mom?" She sounded off, like she was about to cry. I knew she would go straight to the point.
"Calm down, it's Dr. Cullen," that's a good way to start, "I would like you to come down to the hospital..." She didn't let me finish my sentence.
"Why? What Happened? Don't tell me moms involved?" she was breaking down, you could tell from her voice, she was falling to pieces.
I didn't know what to say and there was an uncomfortable silence, that I didn't know how to fill.
"What?! What happened to Renee?!"
"I would like for you to come down to the hospital, so I can explain things properly," I couldn't tell her all of this at her house, she might do something rash, I wanted her to be here at the hospital, so if something where to happen, she would be near help.
I tried to keep my business voice, not wanting her to feel anymore pain then she was already feeling.
"I'll be right there..." then the phone went dead. How was she going to get here? She wouldn't use her bike would she?
As soon as I hung up the phone I ran to the door, Jake was barking at me, not wanting me to leave.
"Shush, please baby, I'll be right back, I promise," I said taking hold of his face and kissing his nose, "I'll be back later."
I flung the door open and locked it. Then I ran, it seemed like an eternity, at that point I was beat, I was tired and I knew that I wasn't anywhere near the hospital. And so I fell, I lost all of my determination, all of my hope, all of my strength. I laid there for I don't know how long, then all of a sudden I heard car wheels roll on the wet pavement. I heard the sound getting lauder and lauder but I didn't hear them fade away.
Then I felt a pair of strong arms snake around my body, I didn't have enough strength to fight back, I was limp, like a rag doll.
"Are you ok?" It was a man's voice, low, I could barely hear him.
"Hospital. Hospital. Please take me to the hospital." I whispered, trembling from the cold air and rain that was still pouring in buckets.
Then I heard this musical voice, like bells chiming, birds singing, his voice was beautiful, "Dad? Do you want me to get the emergency covers from the trunk?"
"Yes, please, son," The man was still holding me when I felt something warm cover my body, and I was put into what I purposed was a car.
A different pair of arms wind around my shoulders, "You'll be OK. My dad is going to take you to the hospital," The voice whispered into my ears. The sound of the boy's voice calmed me down, but I was tired.
"O....K," I stuttered still cold, but I was quickly getting warming up with the covers and the boys warmth.
"We'll be there in 30 minutes, honey. Are you cold?" asked the man probably the boys son, "Edward? Is she wake?"
"She's falling asleep her eyes are closing," He chuckled, it was amazing. To hear this voice, who I didn't even now who it belonged to, calm me down, it was strange. I had to look up at the boy, to see what kind of face that belonged to the magical voice. I looked up and the boy was smiling down at me, I was awestruck. He had bronze colored hair with the most beautiful pair of dazzling green eyes, his skin looked smooth, his lips kissable, he was, well...sexy. There was no other way to describe him.
I don't remember much after seeing the boy's face, I must of fallen asleep because I woe up in a hospital bed. Confused, I got up and walked to the door on the other side of the room. I wasn't looking where I was going and I tripped on the edge of the lamp post, like an automatic response, I held my hands in front of me to brake my fall. I heard the crack before I felt the excruciating pain. It took a coupe of seconds for me to realize the pain was there and I let out a loud shriek, two female nurses came in through the door almost instantly, helping my up onto the bed.
"Are you OK?" asked one of the nurses, then I remembered what happened yesterday, "Miss?"
"Where's my mom? Where is she? I want to see her!" I don't know if I was crying because I wanted to see my mother or because my arm was pulsing and throbbing to every movement that I made. I got up and started to make my way to the door when Carlisle walked in.
"I heard a scream! What happened?" He asked concerned for my safety. I held my hurting hand when I walked to him, "Bella, what happened?"
"Nothing, I want to see my mom." I said quickly, moving my hand and making me writhe with pain.
"She fell. We think she broke her arm, but she won't let us tend to it," The other nurse said. I shot her the nastiest look I could conjure up, making her flinch and step back.
"I want to take a look at your arm, then I'll take you to see your mother. OK?" Carlisle asked, holding his hand out. I humphed and surrendered, lifting up my arm with the gentlest of movements and rested it in his extended hand.
After moving it around slowly and examining it carefully, Carlisle announced that I did indeed have a broken hand. He asked it I wanted a cast or a braise, I chose a cast, knowing I would want to take out the braise whenever it got itchy or sweaty, so a got a cast. I got it green, my new favorite color. I wonder where that boy, Edward, is.
After all the drama over my hand was over Carlisle took me to see my mom, as promised. He stopped in front of room 427. I looked nervously at the door. Not knowing if I should enter or not.
"What happened last night? A man accompanied by a boy about your age, came in last night holding you. They said they found you on the road laying face down, you kept repeating hospital, so they had no other choice then to bring you here," Carlisle looked worried and confused at the same time.
"I don't remember, I..." I scratched the back of my head, trying to figure out what I did yesterday.
"Alright, you can tell me late. I'll give you some time alone, OK?" Carlisle said while putting a hand on my shoulder and giving my forehead a small kiss. Carlisle was the father I've always wished of having.
I exhaled and nodded my head, I turned and watched Carlisle walk away to take care of business some where else, I took a deep breathe and turned the knob on the door.
I stepped inside and instantly regretted it, mom was tied to all sorts of machine and had IV's coming out of her arms.
"Mom," I whispered, knowing if I talked normally my voice would break. I already had tears streaming down my face and falling onto my stained Abercrombie & Fitchshirt. I walked slowly to the right side of the her bed, making sure not move or touch anything that might harm mom in any way. She looked so fragile strapped to her bed, she looked pale, but had some blue, black, and purple markings on her face and body. I pitied her, Carlisle told me about what had happened when he was putting on my , I started to cry some more, I wiped some tears away when I heard someone in the hall coming this way, "Alice come on...I wanna hold the bearrrrr!!!!" I smiled recognizing the voice, Emmett was such a kid, "Nope!" Alice.
I heard the door open and close, followed by some foot steps, I looked up and saw my two best friends standing in front of me. Emmett had some balloons and flowers, while Alice had a huge bear. The bear had a shirt that said 'Your Personal Lovable Huggable Emmy Bear 4 Bella' I laughed at the bear, a typical Emmett thing.
Alice and Emmett have me huge hugs and pulled up two chairs on either side of me. They both leaned on my shoulders and hugged me some more and held my hands, I loved how they were always there to help me get through things. They were always there to comfort me when I sad or feeling lonely.
There was a silence that fell over the room, but not one of those silences that would stress you out or irritate you, this was a comfortable lap of silence, one that only true friends share.
"Are you OK?" Alice whispered into my ear after a couple of minutes of just sitting there and watching my mom sleep, "Me and Emmett will always be here to help, you're not alone in this. Remember that, OK?"
And I started to cry my heart out, these were the kind of friends that everyone wished they had , and I was the luckiest person in the world. Alice and Emmett was the greatest most perfect people in the world, right next to my mom, but she's on a bed unconscious, with machines helping her stay alive.
I don't know how long I was crying on Emmett's shoulder, when I heard something move on the bed. I looked up and saw mom looking over at me, smiling. How could she be smiling after everything that 's happened to her?
"Mom?" I asked straightening up and wiping under my eyes with the hand that I hadn't injured. I stood up and slowly walked over to her, not knowing if this was just a dream I was having. I took hold one of moms hand and started to rub circles on her palm with my thumb.
"Mom?"
"Bella," Mom said looking my cast, and started to laugh "I have a car accident and you go and break your arm," How could she laugh at me after all that's happened to her?
From behind me I heard chairs screech on the floor from someone getting up. Then Alice and Emmett gave me one last hug and said, "We'll be back later, will you be OK?"
I nodded my head at both of them, when I heard the door close I looked back at my mom. I felt another round of tears coming, but not because I was sad , I was happy that mom was awake and she was going to make it.
"Mom? How do you do it?" I asked.
"Do what?" My asked, confused by my question.
"You had a car accident and you're smiling and laughing, as if nothing happened,"
"Bella, look at me, I won't let this minor obstacle get in the way of me keeping you happy. I don't want you to go all freaky because I'm injured," Mom said taking my hand and holding it tight.
"But mom, you were seriously hurt, you were thrown through the front window." I whispered, I was starting to get mad.
"Bella. I'm alive, that's all that matters to me,"
I was about to open my mouth to argue when the room door opened, it was Dr. Carlisle and Esme.
Esme had the saddest face. As a matter of fact, I think this was the first time since I've met her, to see her with a frown other then a ear-to-ear smile.
"I'm going to find Alice and Emmett, I give you some time alone," With that I turned my body and I was out the door, walking to the gift shoppe. Alice would probably be there.
Nonetheless, Alice was there with Emmett. Alice was paying for some chocolate candy and Emmett looked annoyed. He saw me and started to walk my way.
"Hey!" He yelled then he was right next to me. He always finding a way to make me laugh. He put his hand around my shoulders and lead me to Alice.
We decided to go to Star Bucks, I got my favorite, Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino, Alice got a Caramel Frappuccino and Emmett got Colorful Cookies.
I walked with my friends up to my moms assigned room. I opened the door and found the same nurses from earlier making the empty bed where my mom should have been laying.
I went up to one of the nurses, "Where's my mom?"
"Oh, sweetie, your mom is already ready to go, her wounds weren't deadly and she insisted us that she was fine and really to go home,"
"Where is she, then?" Alice said and stepped up my side.
"She's down in the lobby, she should be there right now," The other nurse said after she finished changing the sheets on the bed.
"Alright then, we'll be leaving now," Emmett walked up to Alice and I and took our hands, making us turn to the door.
We rode the elevator to the main lobby and searched for my mom. I finally saw her in a wheelchair, I didn't even notice that her leg was broken when she was laying in bed. She still look pale like before, but not as white when I first saw her. She was laughing with Esme while Carlisle filled out some papers.
"Mom, are you sure you're ready to go home? You can always stay here," Carlisle said finishing off the paper with his signature.
"No, I'm ready to get out of the hospital. I don't think I can handle another day at the hospital," Mom laughed and looked around to find me holding onto her wheel chair.
"Hey, honey. I'm leaving today, Esme is going to drive us home, OK?"
"Sure,"
"Then lets get the show on the road," Emmett smiled and said he could beat me to the car.
He won the race only because he knew where the car was. Emmett did his little victory dance, earning a round of laughter from everyone.
I helped mom into the drivers seat, while Esme put the wheel chair into to back of the Porsche. The ride home was filled with laughter and smiles, as if nothing happened the day before. I couldn't help but think about the boy from yesterday, his velvety voice rang in my ears every time I would think about him, his smooth skin, kissable lips. Where did he go?
Da Na Na Na Da Na Na Na!!!!!!! Who was the boy from the other day? Where did he go? Will Bella ever meet him in the future? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW!!!! Just kidding, you'll have to find out by reading future chapters. But the sad part is coming in the next chapter. So ready yourselves!
So Tell me what u think, By REVIEWING!!!
Thanx!!!!!
