BPOV

The next day was the same, no eating, no talking, no emotion. If she hadn't eaten by tomorrow evening, I would have no choice but to place the tube in her nose. I needed her to eat, I prayed she would eat on her own. I still kept her hydrated through her IV and well medicated. I did not want her to feel any pain.

When I set breakfast next to her, it was left untouched, the same with her lunch. My hopes of her getting to eat were quickly falling. I felt extremely alone. I tried to keep busy caring for Bella, playing video games and reading. It didn't help. I refused to shower, I did not want to leave Bella vulnerable again.

I made Bella dinner and sat it next to her, she made no effort to eat it. I laid in bed that evening and spoke to God aloud, "God? Are you there? I hope so. I really need you, Bella needs you more. I am so scared, I have never been so scared in my whole life. I don't know what is going to happen. I will die before I let Bella go back there, I love her so much. Just please let me know what I need to do and I will do it," tears started to fall from my eyes, "Please be there for my family too, I know they are very worried and I miss them so much. If we make this out of this alive, I really want my parents to meet Bella. They will love her so much, I am sure of it. Please help Bella come back to me, I guess that really is my first request. I need her to eat, I don't want her to become sicker. She needs to heal and be healthy, both physically and mentally. If only because I love her, I know it's a selfish reason but I hope that's enough. A part of me is so angry with you and I know I shouldn't be but why is this happening? WHYY?" I screamed. I felt Bella jump slightly but when I looked over she still had her eyes closed.

"I am so sorry for scaring you my love," I said in a soothing voice. I got up and went to the bathroom, leaving the door wide open. I splashed water of my face and dried it off with a towel. I sat on the toilet seat, trying to calm down. I don't know how long I sat there but when I went back to our bedroom I was astonished to find that Bella had eaten her dinner.

I walked over to her side of the bed and her eyes were open, "Bella?" She looked up at me. "Oh my God, thank you, thank you, thank you! How are you feeling?"

"Tired," she said in a small voice but smiled at me. "I am really sorry, I don't know where I was, everything was just so foggy. I have a vague memory of things that happened but I couldn't snap out of it. Then when you were talking to God, it seemed that my mind was clearing. The more you spoke the more I could clearly think. And then I saw the food on the table and was starving. But now I am just exhausted."

"It's okay, this whole ordeal is messed up. It's normal for ones mind to want to disappear for awhile. I am just so happy that you are back to me, I was so alone and so worried. I will never let anything happen to you again. Even if you have to sit in the bathroom while I shower, it's not going to happen again. I love you so much," and I kissed her on the cheek. "Are you in any pain?"

"No, not really. This tube thing is just really uncomfortable, can we get it out?"

"Of course, lay on your back. I'll help you." I helped her lay on her back and pulled the covers down. I detached the tubing from her leg and drained the balloon. "Ok this is going to feel weird but just take a deep breath." I pulled the tube out and threw it in the trash and handed her a towel to clean up with.

"Do you think it's possible to get a bath?" She asked me.

"I don't want your stitches getting wet but I can help you to the bathroom and we can get you cleaned up at least and you can brush your teeth. Sound good?"

She shook her head yes. I helped her to the bathroom which was a slow process but I didn't care. She was back and I would do anything for her. Once there I filled a basin with warm soapy water and helped her get washed up. I changed her bandages and helped her get into some clean clothes After she was done brushing her teeth she looked up at me, "When is the last time you got a shower?"

"I am fine," but didn't look at her.

"Edward, please, get a shower. I will stay right here, I am fine, I promise. I'll just work on brushing this tangled mess that I call hair. We can even lock the bathroom door so no one can come in without difficulty."

I thought about it for a moment, "Fine but we are going to lock the door and I am taking this blue curtain off the rod, so I can see you through the clear one." I started to take down blue decorative shower curtain so only the liner curtain was hanging. It was clear and knew that she would be able to see me shower but then I could make sure nothing happened to her.

I took off my clothes and looked up at her, her cheeks were flushed red and she had a small smile on her face. "Normally we would have been married for a while before I let you watch me shower, dear."

"Normalcy isn't our thing," She said through a smile.

"Very true," I responded and hopped in the shower. I don't think I have ever showered so quickly in my life but it was nice to shower. I never took my eyes off the blurry figure that was on the other side of the curtain. I grabbed my towel, dried off and wrapped the towel around my waist.

I pulled the curtain back and Bella was still sitting on the toilet seat, "That was a very nice show, Dr. Cullen." This time I could feel my cheeks turn red.

"Okay there, Bella. Let's go back to our room." I said as I lifted her into my arms and carried her back into our room. I placed her on the side of the edge of the bed while I removed the towels so she could sleep on clean sheets. And then I helped her back into bed.

"Are you still hungry? We have spaghetti and more chicken downstairs," I asked Bella.

"No, I am okay for now. I'm just really tired. Will you lay with me?"

"Of course, just let me get dressed. Are you in any pain? I can give you some medicine."

"Maybe just some Tyelnol?"

"Anything for you, my love." I went over to the dresser where I kept a bunch of Bella's medications and handed them to her along with a glass of water. Then I went and got dressed.

"I am going to keep the one IV in your arm for one more day, just in case. We will see how you are doing tomorrow, sound like a plan?"

Bella shook her head. I went and placed a movie into the DVD player and placed it on repeat. Neither Bella nor I liked the dark in this place so we usually played a movie all night long, just so we had a little light.

I crawled into the bed next to Bella and she curled right into me. Her body molded perfectly to mine, it was like we were made for each other.

"Good night, thank you for everything. I love you Edward Cullen," Bella whispered into my neck.

"Good night my love and I love you to Bella Swan," I whispered into her ear and kissed her on the cheek. Then the exhaustion swept over me and I was sound asleep before I knew it.

"Bella! Bella?! Wake up! Wake up now!" I felt Edward shaking me and talking to me in a low and panicked voice, "Bella, wake up, right now!"

I opened my eyes and saw fear written all over Edwards face, "What's going on?" I asked quickly.

"Go, quick, hide in the closet! Now!"

"No, Edward! What is going on!? I want to stay with you, Edward no!" Tears were rolling down my cheeks.

"Bella, please. They are here again, go hide in the closet, now!"

He must have seen the stubbornness in my face as I was going to argue further, "Bella, if you love me, you will go hide in the closet now." He said in a stern face.

He must have then seen the defeat in my face because he kissed me and said, "I love you, forever and always."

"I love you to," I jumped off the bed as quickly as I could and ran to the closet. I could hear the footsteps as I closed the door. I was biting my shirt so quiet the sobs that threatened to escape.

"Aww, isn't that sweet? Letting your little bitch hide while you try to be the hero. How romantic," a man I never heard before said.

"Fuck off," was Edwards reply.

"It's fine. James doesn't want her this time, he wants you. It's your turn, let's go."

I heard a scuffle and then someone being dragged off down the steps.

'No! No! No!' I screamed in my head. Nothing would come out of my mouth and I my body wouldn't move. I just sat there for what seemed like hours. I was too afraid to come out of the closet, if Edward never came back I would die in here. After what seemed like many hours, I heard the front door open. I heard the men come up the stairs and then I heard them throw something on the floor, that landed with a thud. I heard the men then go down the stairs and heard the front door shut behind them. I peeked out of the closet, I was terrified they were waiting for me but I owed it to Edward to see if he was here. I slowly opened the door. I saw Edward lying in the fetal position on the floor rocking. I flung the door open and ran towards him. He was covered in blood.

"Edward, oh my goodness, Edward! What happened? Are you okay?" I shrieked.

He didn't say anything. He didn't even look at me. I looked at his face more carefully. He was crying and he had a black eye and split lip. I looked as if his nose had been bleeding but had stopped.

"Edward, honey, look at me. Please..." I started to cry. I couldn't help it. He was hurt and who knows what had happened. He had helped me and I am the reason he is here. He looked towards me but didn't see me.

"Can you stand? I want to get you into bed and get you cleaned up."

He moved in slow motion but stood up and went towards the bed. He was holding his side and I noticed there was more blood.

He had saved my life and it was time to repay him. "Honey, lay down." He did what I asked but he wouldn't stop holding his side. "Let me take a look." He shook his head no. "Edward I am not a doctor but I can try to help. Let's take these bloody clothes off." I grabbed a pair of scissors that had been used to open the boxes Edward received. When I started to cut his shirt, he slowly removed his hands from his abdomen. I removed his shirt and looked at his abdomen. All I saw was flowing blood. He grabbed a hold of his side again and screamed in pain. "Edward I will be right back." I went to the medical supply closet in the other room and grabbed gauze and tape. I opened the medicine box and grabbed a vial of morphine, a syringe and a needle. I came back into the room and placed gauze and pressure onto his wound. He cried out in pain. I taped the concoction as well as I could.

"Edward, I brought you some morphine. Do you want it? I am not sure how to do this, so you are you going to have to help me." He shook his head yes. I had seen him fill a syringe multiple times so I tried to mimic what he had done.

"Make sure you get all the bubbles out…" he said in a strained voice.

I did as I was told and handed him the syringe with the needle still attached. He took it from me, stabbed it into his arm and pushed all the liquid out. He dropped the needle on the floor. I picked it up and placed it on the table.

"Bella, if I die please don't tell my family what they did to me…I am so sorry I couldn't save you."

I didn't understand. I knew he had been stabbed but I was unsure what else had happened to him. I was sure though, that I was not going to let him die.

"You are not going to die! Edward you saved my life, you can't die! I love you Edward."

"I love you too Bella…." Then he started to cry harder.

I put more gauze over his wound and placed a cool washcloth over his forehead. I tried to put the oxygen mask over his face, I had no idea what I was doing but I did with what I had.

"Bella, I don't need that…" Edward complained through his sobs.

"If I had a wound like yours would you put it on me?" I asked.

"Yes…"

"Then I am going to put it on you."

He didn't fight anymore…His eyes were slowly closing. I wished I could do more but I didn't know how.

About an hour later, Edward started to look pale and started to sweat. I checked his wound, it was seeping blood. I tried to put more gauze over it but it was just too much. I tried to wake him up, "Edward? Can you open your eyes please?" He didn't budge, he didn't moan. I started to cry. I tried to feel a pulse in his wrist. There wasn't any. He was dying and there was nothing I could do.

I went to the other bedroom and picked up all the bottles of medicine. Three of them were pills. I placed them in my hand and swallowed them with a big glass of water. The rest were liquid. I drew up the rest of the morphine and stabbed it into Edwards shoulder. I didn't want him to suffer. Tears silently flowed down my cheeks. There was another bottle and I wasn't sure what it was. The label said Dilauded but I didn't care. I drew it up and pushed it through my IV. Within seconds I started to feel dizzy and sleepy. I lay down next to Edward and placed my head on his chest.

"I am sorry that you had to die for me, I love you so much. I will see you in heaven my love."
