Recap:

I started to run, I dashed to the front door and opened it. I didn't know where to go, so I just ran for school. I heard someone behind me, closing in on me. I heard a gun shot and felt a piercing pain in my leg. I heard a blood curdling scream and realized it was my own, I started to limp, I didn't stop until I was in school property, knowing someone would find me sooner or later.

I fell to the floor outside the school entrance, letting unconsciousness take over my body. I heard someones feet rustle in the leaves running toward me, not knowing if it was Phil, I prepared myself for the impact of another bullet. When I felt nothing, I relaxed, there was no more danger coming for me.

WITHOUT FURTHER ADUE: CHAPTER 7!

"Screams"

Chapter 7

Emmett's POV

"Coach, I need some fresh air," I ran up to the coach. I had wrestled three guys and won all three matches, I was tired. Nothing some cold fresh can'tt fix.

"Sure, go ahead, son," Coached patted my shoulder and I walked outside the front entrance.

I was startled and taken back. I saw Bella on the ground, her leg bleeding immensely, losing a great amount blood as I spoke. I ran up to her and held her in my hands, What happened? The only thing I could think of doing was call for help and pray that Bella was going to live.

"HELP! HELP! SOME ONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!" I started to weep, Bella was like my baby sister and she was hurt. I couldn't stand the idea of someone hurting my little sister, "Someone! Anyone! Please! I NEED HELP!!!"

There was a man walking on the side walk, strolling along, whistling. He heard me yelling and ran over to my side. He wanted to carry Bella to his car, but I told him to call an ambulence instead This guy didn't look right, now sane. I didn't have my cell phone on me, so I couldn't call the ambulance myself.

The couch came out of the building, followed by some of my team mates. Seth, my best friend, since like 1st grade, ran over to me and asked what had happened. After I explained to him that I found Bella laying on the ground, bleeding, he helped my up off the ground and helped me carry Bella. He also had feeling for Bella, not love dovey feelings, but the feelings that brothers have, Bella was family to everyone and we couldn't live if anything happened to her.

Sam went and got me cell phone from the locker rooms. I handed Bella over to Seth, who had open arms, and dialed a familiar number.

"Hello?"

"Yo, Alice. Something really bad happened to Bella and I'm taking her to dad," I said running my hands through my curly hair.

"Why? What happened? Where are you?" I could hear the multitude of emotions running through her voice. Fear, worry, love, concern, love. Alice loves Bella as much as everyone else at school, but Alice always had a tighter bond with Bella then anyone else.

'Look, I want you to come to the front entrance of the school, I'm here with some of the guys. We're waiting for the ambulance to arrive," I could hear Alice's shoes clicking on the floor under neath her as she ran. Out of breathe she said, "I'm here!" I turned around and saw Alice, SWEATING!!!! Oh...my...gosh!!!

"What happened to her?" She asked as she regaining strength, rushing down the steps and coming toward me and Bella, that was now in my hands.

"I found her laying on the ground and her leg was bleeding. I called for help and this man came over and called the ambulance."

Alice turned her head at the man, but quickly snapping her head back to my direction. She feels it too?

Alice stood by me the whole time waiting for the ambulance to come, I think she was making sure Bella was breathing, but I was fine with that. Some one has to monitor her breathing.

It had only been a couple of minutes when I heard the ambulance. I heard the ambulance before I heard it, it turned the corner streering our way. Bella shook a little to the sound of the blaring horns, but Alice calmed her down, patting her shoulder and striaghtening her hair with her hand.

I ambulance screeched to a stop right in front of us, only a couple feet away from us. Two paramedics took out a stretcher from the back of the auto-mobile and wheeled it over to me and Bella. I sat her down gently and told the paramedics Alice and I would acompanie them to the hospital. They nodded there heads, giving us the OK, and we climbind into the back with Bella.

The drive to the hospital was short, Bella was put on different machines and had IV's stuck into her arms. The paramedic's were trying to slow down her bleeding leg, and one pumped air into her with a mouth with this balloon thing.

We got to the hospital and the paramedic's brung Bella in through the emergency room entrance. Dad was already there waiting for her, ready for the task at hand. He took her into an X-Ray lab and took images of the damage in her leg. He came out of the room andtold us she needed to go into surgery immediate because she had a billet lauged in her leg.

I hugged a sniffling Alice, crying, hoping that her best friend will make it through the surgery. Dad said it was a major procedure, he had to safely take out the bullet without harming any muscle tissue, then disenffect the wound, and lastly, sow the opening. He said Bella could recover, but it would take time.

Me and Alice waited for Bella's surgury to be done and over with, to pass time, Alice and me started to talk about the last couple of years when Bella had moved into the house with her mother, mother.

"Where's Renee?" I asked wanting to know why she wasn't her with her daughter.

"I don't know, we should call and tell mom to bring her here," Alice suggested, too, worried why Bella's own mother wasn't at the hospitall with them.

"I'll can now, then," I pulled out my iPhone and called moms cell phone. I rung a few times before she finally answered.

"Emmett?" she asked puzzled, not knowing the reason for calling.

"Mom, dont' freak out,"

"You know when you tell me not to freak out, I always freak out," Mom argued,"What happened?"

"Well...someone shot Bella in the leg and she's having surgery right now," I heard a gasped from the other side of the line.

"Is Renee there?" She asked.

"Well, that's why I'm calling. She didn't show up and she would of at least called you to drive her here,"

"I'll go over to her house right now, don't hang up," I heard a door open and close, probably the front door, then I heard a knock. Mom knocked several times before busting the door down, with one over her karate kicks.

Mom gasped and I heard the phone make a crashing sound, mom dropped her phone, instead of hearing the scuffing sound of her picking it up, I heard shoes running across a wooden floor, I heard her scream, and I started to yelling onto the phone, and I stood up.

"Mom?!" I repeated over and over again until I finally heard her come running to the phone, "Mom? You OK?"

"I need an ambulance, right now! Renee is dead!!!" I heard her yell someting else into the phone, but I wasn't paying attention anymore, Renee is dead, kept ringing into my ears. I tossed the phone to a confused Alice and ran to the fornt desk.

"You need to get an ambulance to..." I yelled all the information to the receptionist, quickly jotted down some notes and picked up a phone next to her.

"They'll be there right away," I receptionist said looking sad.

"Alright," I took a deep breath and walked back to the waiting room.

Alice wasn't in the chair I left her in, she wasn't in the room at all. I asked one of the passin nurses if they had seen a short pixie like miget with black spiky hair. She laughed and pointed to a door across the hall, I nodded my head and headed for the room.

Knowing Alice, she was probably talking to some elderly woman, or kids. I pushed the door open and saw a poor, fragile, Bella laying across a big white comforter. Her leg had a brace on it, one that matched the one she had on her arm. I saw Alice sitting in a seat next to her, holding her hand and talking to her, even though Bella was completely asleep.

I walked up to Alice and pulled a seat up right next to her. The moment I sat down Alice started to cry, I hugged her and she weeped into my shoulders. Not much later, mom came into the room, crying as well. I motioned for her to come and sit by me and Alice. She gladly pulled up a chair, and sobbed on my free shoulder. I comforted them both, then I saw Bella move a little, a little twitch of a finger.

"Bella?"I asked sitting up straight in my chair.

"Huh? Where am I?"

"You're at the hospital, sweetie. You got hurt and Emmett and Alice brought you here." Mom whispered, worried if she spook to loudly it would disturb her.

"Why? Where's mom? MOM!!!!????" She started to thrash around in her bed, trying to unhook the machines from herself. All of you us took a step up trying to get her calm.

"No, you don't," One of the nurses from the front desk came in with a syringe and stuck it into Bella's IV, "That'll calm you down," and she walked out of the room.

"Bella, calm down. Please," Alice pleaded.

"Where's mom?" Bella had the most serious face, Alice was taken back and took a step towards me.

"Bella..." mom tried to explain.

"She's dead, isn't she?" Bella started to crying, pulling her face into her cupped hands, realizing her mom was dead. She ran her fingers through her hair and continued to cry buckets of salt. Not knowing what to do, we all just carfully patted her arm.

"What happened?" Alice asked more worried, then curious.

"Well, I came home from school and I called mom, but she didn't answer me. So I dropped it, thinking she went outside with Jake. I went up stairs and came back down to give mom her afternoon medication. When I walked into the living room, she was facing a wall, and I thought she was playing a trick on me like this morning. I looked down at her lap and saw blood, I bent down and took some in my hands, then I felt something hit my back. I looked up and mom was bent over, on top of me," She said through her cries, shacking her head 'NO', "When I got up, I looked over at mom, she fell to the floor and stayed there, leakingblood like a fasut. I ran into the kitchen and when I was about to call 911, I saw this man with a gun on the kitchen table. I asked him what he was doing there," Bella was breaking down, I couldn't stand her being like this, "He told me something about not liking being stood up on a date, then he said he killed my mom."

By the end of her explanation everyone around me was crying, even me, feeling bad for Bella. Why did she have to go though all of this?

"Oh, sweetie!" Mom hugged Bella gently and have her head small kisses, "We'll be here for you, every step of the way," Mom pulled away and wiped the tears away with a tissue I handed her.

"Yeah, Bella. Were your family," Alice stepped up to hug Bella and took a stray peice of hair and tucked it safely behind her ear, "We love you.""And don't forget it," I went over the bed and hugged her as gently as I could, knowing myself, I would probably crush her if I wasn't careful.

"I love all of you," mom wiped the tears under Bella's eyes, then my stomach growled. Great timing.

Bella giggled and I was relieved, she's not completly dead inside.

"Why dont you guys go and eat something, and don't worry I'm not going any where,"

"We'll eat something thing here, in the hospital. We don't want to be far away from you." Alice patted her head, and my stomach growled again.

Everyone laughed this time, "Come one Em, lets feed that bear of your," Alice pulled me to the door and opened it.

"We'll be right back," Esme said, when she reached us at the door.

"K," Bella half yelled whispered at us before the door closed behind us.

BELLA'S POV

Alice, Emmett, and Esme had just left the room, searching for someplace to feed Emmett. He was always eating.

It felt like an eternitybut then the door opened, I opened my eyes looking for Alice, Esme, or Emmett. But instead of them there was a man, who I quickly recognized when he started to creep over to me. I instantly froze, not knowing for sure if he had the gun or not. He came up to me, and looked at my face, having the nerve to look me in the eyes after what he did.

"You survived?" He asked patting my hair, I swatted it away, not wanting his bloody hands any where near me.

"Get out," I wanted to sound like I was brave, but my voice wouldn't cooperate with me. I sounded scared and terrified by the presence of this man, "I'll call security. I tell them what you did." I spat at him.

"Now, now. No need for that, I just wanted to talk. I came by earlier but you where in surgery, they said you had a bullet in your leg. I'm sorry, I have bad aim," he chuckled.

I was never the violent type, but if my hand wasn't in a braise right now I would so kick his ass out of this room, no out of the hospital. He was really pissing me off.

"You're pathetic," I snarled at him, why is he laughing. Was he laughing at me or that the merciless crime he commited?

"Im leaving now, I don't want to finish the job at a hospital. Where people will hear you scream." I had it. I yelled as loud as I could, hoping at least someone would be around to come and arrest this man. The man killed my mom and was planning on killing me.

He chuckled again. "Stupid, Naive, Bella. That was a very big mistake, I'll come and kill you later, you count on it. I'll kill you Bella Marie Swan, and I will finish you off." He ran to the door and swung it open, letting it close by itself and he ran down the hall.

"I'll come and kill you later, you count on it" Those words kept running through my head, over and over, and over again. "...and I will finish you off." I shivered at the words that would haunt me for the rest of my life.

"What happened?!" Yelled a suprised Emmett from the door.

"The guy that killed my mom was just here and he said he would finish me off!" I shrieked. I told him what he looked like and what he was wearing. I just now took in the fear and persistance of the words the man just said, "Run after him, hurry!" I saw him dash out of the room and I saw Alice come in right after him.

"What happened?" she asked confused.

"The man. He was here. He. Said. He. Was. Going. To. Finish. Me. Off." I whispered. I knew if I spoke loudly my voice would crack.

I heard her gasp and then her arms wound around my body, holding me tightly, "He will not touch a single brown hair on your head, you count on it." You count on it.

A tired Emmett came through my hospital door, gasping for air, "I'm so sorry. I couldn't find him. I told some police officer's to watch for a susicios looking man that just exited the hospital, I told them what he looked like, too."

My eyes went wide with fear and Alice noticed, her arms held me even tighter to her. I knew she was trying to calm me down, but I was to alert, how could you sleep if you were just told you were going to die, and you don't even know when.
