I turned around to see Edward.
He was lying there, motionless on the floor. 'Edward?' I said, or whimpered. He coughed weakly and looked up.
'Bella?' I had never seen him this weak before, it was like a new breath of fresh air, yet it wasn't fresh air. It was poisonous, ravenous intoxicating air. That was sucking the life from me every minute I looked at him.
I rushed to his side, not knowing what not to touch, I cradled his head up.
Only now did I see how much pain he was in. His face wasn't swollen, nor was it dented. It was bruised, like the shadows under his eyes. His T-shirt was ripped in places, showing his chest with scratch marks all over it.
He had 13 bite marks on his arms, chest and neck. And it looked like Felix took several blows to his shoulder because it was sliced open and bleeding dead blood. His white collar bone showed through the blood and I sobbed. I cradled him.
I started rocking him and he was sobbing too. 'I'm so sorry. Edward, I love you so much.' I said through dry sobs.
'Bella, it's not your fault. I told you I want you to be happy.' I sobbed even harder.
Reading his thoughts was now as bigger disadvantage as having a hedgehog costume at a balloon stall. I could hear how his pain was making him, I could hear his thoughts starting to cave in, as they got less lively. I knew he wouldn't die, however it was hard to accept how my perfect, lovely, god-like Edward, was in pain.
I looked him over once and buried my head into his neck, whispering 'I'm sorry.'
I didn't know how long I was sat there, I could have been there for centuries if Carlisle hadn't have come through with his bag in his hand.
He coughed for our attention and we both looked up. 'I will need to check over Edwards injuries. Obviously as you know it won't be anything blindingly serious, because he will heal good as new. But its better to check him over of course.'
Carlisle was addressing me, I didn't know why. Then I noticed, Edward was completely still with his eyes closed, I looked at him with horror and at first I thought he was sleeping.
Carlisle was stood by his side with a syringe.
Of course not I thought, vampires can't sleep. It was my human emotions getting the better of me. 'Edward?' I shook him lightly waiting for a response. There was none. I shook him a little harder. Still no response.
'Bella, he's resting. Its okay I gave him some morphine. Everything's fine. Don't worry. Not sure how useful it shall be but I think it best you find something to do. He needs to rest.' He was reassuring me, but I wouldn't fully believe it until my angel was back to his former state.
I merely shook my head. I wasn't going to leave his side. Ever.
Instead I carried Edward up into his bedroom mindlessly. Set him on his bed in a comfortable state, and then I lie there.
Next to him, motionless. Sometimes talking to him, he couldn't hear me I'd hoped. Hopefully he needed so much rest he was nearly unconscious. Drastic as that is, because of course he could never be unconscious.
He was drifting.
Drifting from reality into peace. With me, by his side.
'Edward. I hope you can't hear me, but I love you. I've always loved you. In Italy I tried to keep you out of my head, and at first I succeeded. However there was still that time when you came back and made me cry, inwardly I mean. I love you so much I won't ever leave your side. Never. Ever.' I said.
I was thinking about all the human memories I had of him. Some good, some bad.
It was strange, as my human memories are strong of Edward, I still remember the feel of my blood as it rushed from to my cheeks. And I still remember how I had to break away from his gaze, because he was dazzling me.
The way he effects me is almost impossible. It's unbelievable.
Instead of thinking I decided it safer as to drift with Edward, lose my consciousness yet still be in harmony with it all the time.
I will drift with Edward for as long as it takes for him to come back. I will stay.
Heey Guys. Sorry I haven't updated as fast as I used to. I was a bit busy with MOCK SAT's and stuff. But thank you for the Reviews and adding me to favourites and alerts.
Don't worry its not the end yet, there are more troubles to come.
And plus I am having so much fun writing this, and I hope your liking reading as well!
