i stayed out of school to go to the hospital today (i have back issues haha) so i have nothing to do, and i figured- why not update?
thanks to toujoursmoi and BloodRedSnowWhite for answering my question on whether or not animals could be changed!
Saturday afternoons used to be there for relaxing and spending the day with people you cared about.
Well, things have changed.
"BELLA! Lets go!"
Now Saturday afternoons are for shopping and spending money on me when I don't even want the clothes anyways.
"I'm coming, Alice! Relax!" I called back down the stairs.
She was waiting impatiently in Charlie's kitchen. I could almost hear her foot tapping on the linoleum flooring.
I frantically grabbed an outfit from my closet and did my best to make the top and bottoms match. Deciding my hair was totally unmanageable, I threw it up in a ponytail.
"Bella, I swear- if you don't get down here this instant-"
"- You'll take me shopping everyday, I know, I know, Alice."
I slipped into a pair of comfortable shoes and made my way for the stairs. I took a risk and ran down the stairs. I didn't do half bad either; I made it half way down the stairs until I tripped on a shoe and went tumbling down, further and further.
Everything went black.
-
"Bella? Bella, please wake up." I heard a soft voice in my ear pleading with me.
"Edward?" I groaned, opening my eyes. I found myself in the hospital. What a surprise...
He chuckled and I heard Carlisle voice in the background speaking to other people whose voices I didn't recognize.
"What happened?"
"Well..." He drew in a deep breath, obviously preparing to tell a long story. "We were at school and Tyler's car came and almost hit you. In fact, you would most likely be dead if I hadn't saved you. I was standing a few cars away, and I pulled you out of the way at that precise moment."
I frowned. "Ok, this is so not funny, Edward. What happened, really?"
He looked honestly confused. "That's the truth..."
"Ahh, Bella Swan..." Carlisle murmured, walking into the room.
"Hi, Carlisle!" He seemed shock at my casual use of his name. "Will you atleast tell me what really happened?"
He and Edward exchanged confused glances.
"Well, you hit your head pretty hard on the ice... and you were out for about 10 minutes."
At this point I started hyperventilating. I drew back the curtain to my left and found Tyler Crowley lying in the bed next to mine, wrapped in gauze and bandages.
"No!" I gasped.
Tears began to fill my eyes. "No, this can't be happening!"
"What, Bella?" Edward sounded a bit agitated and a bit concerned at the same time.
"N-nothing" I stuttered. "I'm going to leave if you don't mind... I'm fine, trust me."
"Bella wai-"
I cut Carlisle off. "Ask Alice if you don't believe me." I instantly regretted saying that, and I covered my mouth quickly.
They almost looked frightened. "I mean... I have a class with her... so..." I struggled to end that catastrophic sentence.
Before they could respond, I ran out the door and past my father and friends. I planned on walking home.
--
Charlie unsuccessfully tried to decipher my horrid mood when he got home. I headed to bed early without saying goodnight.
It didn't seem real. Edward and I had never fallen in love...
Just saying it to myself broke my heart. It never seemed real to be with him, but I had gotten used to it. Now, my heart seemed to be missing from my chest.
Could I have really dreamed up every detail of my life within ten minutes?
--
At school, things were horrible. I was expecting Edward to pick me up for school, but then I remembered why I was waiting so long.
When I arrived in the parking lot, I saw him and I longed to hold his hand, and kiss his lips. I just wanted to talk to him at the very least.
"Bella?"
His soft voice came from behind me in the biology room. In my dream, I had upset him and he hadn't talked to me after the accident; thankfully that wasn't happening this time.
I turned around quickly, wanting so badly to see his face. "Yes?"
"Are you okay?" He asked gently, taking his seat beside me. "You seemed... well, I'm honestly not sure what was wrong with you at the hospital."
I smiled, just a little bit. "No... I'm okay... I just- nothing."
He was going to ask more questions, I could tell, but Mr. Banner arrived with perfect timing.

After class, I hurried to grab my books. On my way out, my boot got stuck in the doorjam and the last thing I remembered was falling towards to floor tiling.
--
"Bella? Bella, please wake up." I heard a soft voice in my ear pleading with me.
"Edward?" I groaned, opening my eyes. I found myself on Edward's couch. This time, I was honestly surprised.
He chuckled and I heard Carlisle voice in the background speaking to other people whose voices I did recognize.
"What happened?"
This was all too familiar. Hadn't this happened before?
"Well..." He drew in a deep breath, obviously preparing to tell a long story. "Alice was rushing you to get ready to go shopping with her, and then you came running down the stairs and about half-way down you fell to fast for Alice to catch you."
I gasped. "REALLY?!?" I was happy. Happy beyond words.
"Yes..." His tone of voice made it sound like he was really trying to say 'duhh'.
"Oh my goodness!" I squealed.
I jumped up and wrapped my arms around him, pressing my lips to his firmly.
He broke away, gasping. "What's the matter with you, Bella?" He was laughing at me.
"I had a dream that-" I began, then not wanting to waste my breath I simply stated, "Never mind. I just want you to know that I love you more than anything in the world. Words can't even explain it..."
I knew he still thought I was crazy, but he kissed me sweetly again and whispered "I love you, too"
I was just like, imagine if Bella dreamed up this whole thing? And it started the chapter. It might be choppy, because someone stole my FF notebook (who the hell does that?) so I had to re-write it from memory.
