Chapter 15

"Everyone out of the way! She's in shock!" I shouted. I laid Bella down on the sofa and started to check her pulse. Her breathing was already rapid and shallow. Her pulse was also fast and her lips were starting to turn blue.

"Rose, elevate her legs by about 5 inches. And Alice get me a couple of thick blankets." I commanded. I had never seen them move as fast as they did now.

I looked down at Bella. It was like she was struggling with herself inside her body, trying to communicate with me. Her eyes were fluttering, looking around for something or someone who wasn't there. I kissed her cheek and whispered, "Don't worry love, I'll bring you back." I knew she was in a psychological shock. I had to calm her down in order to get her mind back to where it needed to be.

"Here Edward," Alice said handing me the blankets. I carefully tucked them around her and she instantly stopped shivering.

"Anything we can do Edward?" Emmett asked, this was the first time I even noticed that they were standing in the living room with us.

"Yea, if you could call the Forks Hospital and get Dr. Carlisle Cullen on the phone please." I instructed and immediately got on the phone.

I leaned over Bella and put my forehead to hers. "Bella, everything's alright… I'm right here. Please Bella, come back to me. I know your mind is just trying to protect itself but I need you to come back now…please…" I continued to speak softly. I checked her pulse again; it wasn't as fast but it was still weak, which meant her blood pressure was still low. "Take deep breaths Bella, I know you can hear me…" as soon as those words left my mouth, she started forcing herself to slow and deepen her breathing.

"Ed, we've got your father on the phone." Jasper said handing me the phone.

I stood up and started to take a couple steps away from Bella when she screamed.

"Edward! Don't leave me!" she begged and sat up quickly.

"Hey, dad, I'm sorry but I have to call you back." I told my father, before saying goodbye and handing up.

I rushed over to Bella's side.

"I'm not leaving you love," I looked into her eyes and saw that they were no longer dilated. She had come back to me.

Edward stood over me and checked my pulse again.

"Mmmh… Much better Bella." He said kissing me again on the cheek.

"Edward, I saw him! I saw Jacob in the parking lot!" I said the panic rising in me again. Edward quickly hugged me tightly.

"Breathe the way I am breathing…" He instructed. And I felt his chest rising slowly as he inhaled then exhaled slowly.

"We went to Taco bell to get something to eat and she got a text message from Jacob… he called her a liar and that he could see us together. We got into the car and she looked past me, then went into shock… I guess she thought she saw Jacob." Edward explained.

"No! I didn't think I saw him. He was there Edward! Why didn't you see him! He was like 20 feet from the car!" I said getting angry.

"Bella, there was no one there…" He said looking into my eyes. "You mind started going into shock when you got the text from him… you thought you saw him in your panic."

"Stop it! Stop talking! I know what I saw! I didn't imagine him! My mind isn't playing tricks on me!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

"Bella calm down…" Rosalie said gently moving closer to me. "We're just trying to make since of the situation."

"Well, telling me that I am crazy isn't making the situation any better!" I said trying to get away from everyone.

Edward held onto my hand. "No one ever made the suggestion that you were crazy… you went into a psychological shock and who knows what was going on in your head. Maybe you did see him and maybe you didn't. But that's something we'll never know." Edward said in a low voice.

"How are you feeling now Bella?" Alice asked.

"Better, I guess, just really weak." I said trying to stand up but failing miserably.

"Yea, you're blood pressure is still a little low… you'll feel better in a little while." Edward said.

"You both gave us a scare." Jasper added.

"We're all sitting here watching TV when Edward runs in with a limp Bella in his arms." Emmett said with his eyes wide.

"But you're okay now right?" Rose asked.

"Yes, Rose…I'm okay… just… I really want to go to bed… is that okay?" I asked Edward.

"Yea, I'll take you to my room Bella." Edward offered.

Suddenly I found myself lifted up into his strong arms as he carried me to his room. Once he closed the door behind him, he turned on the lights and laid me in the bed.

"I'm so sorry Bella… You've had such a traumatizing, long night. You just focus on resting and getting better… If there is anything you need, just say the word and I'll do it." He said tenderly.

"The word…" I joked. It brought a small smile to his face.

"Always the little teaser." He laughed.

"Just stay here in the bed with me till I fall asleep… I don't want to be alone." I asked sounding like a scared child.

"As long as you are with me… you will never be alone…" He said before lying down beside me in the bed and wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling my close to me.

"Good night Edward." I whispered.

"Good night love…" he said before I closed my eyes a fell into a dreamless sleep.
