Man, I'm so sorry for not updating in what seems like forever!

Okay, without further adieu, the accident:

Chapter 9

I ran to the limp body that was strewn in the middle of the parking lot.

"Bella, Bella, Bella please" I begged, caressing her face.

Blood trickled out of her nose and mouth, her forehead bleeding from a gash near her right temple.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!" I heard the voice of the driver.

"Bella, Bella can you hear me?" I whispered. I felt her neck for a pulse.

I felt a light beat.

She is still alive I thought.

I heard sirens approaching in the distance.

"Oh my god! Is she okay?" The driver.

I looked at her, my vision going red.

"You hit her with your fucking car," I spat, glaring at her.

"I...I didn't mean to…"

I turned back to the broken angel on the ground next to me, "Bella, stay with me, c'mon Bella, you are strong. You stay here. Do. Not. Leave. Me."

"Excuse me sir, you are going to have to step away from the girl," an EMT said pushing me away so he could see Bella clearly.

I saw three police cruisers pull up and Charlie was the first officer I saw.

His face drained of all color and I saw him sway.

"Charlie!" I yelled, running to him.

Charlie slowly started to collapse, his vision glazed and on Bella.

I reached him as he fell forward, and I staggered under his weight.

I laid him on the asphalt and an EMT ran over to us.

"Thanks kid," He said, giving me a nod, "if you hadn't caught him he might have gotten a concussion."

I focused on Bella once again. The EMT's were moving her onto a backboard and strapping her onto a gurney.

They rolled her to the ambulance and got in.

I tried to get into the ambulance but the EMT who had looked at Bella told me I couldn't go with them because I wasn't family.

Tears stung my eyes, fury bubbling up in my throat.

I sprinted to my car and sped to the hospital. I ran into the emergency room and I saw my dad.

"Dad! Dad, you have to help Bella, she got hit by a car in the parking lot. Dad, help her, please," I pleaded.

"Edward, calm down. The EMT's are taking her into the operating room and I am going to have a look at her."

I slumped into a chair, my head falling into my hands, "She has to be okay, she can't leave me. Not when I just found her."

"Edward, I believe she will be fine. Chris, the head EMT told me that she may have a few broken ribs, and her leg could be fractured, but other than that I think there are no life threatening injuries."

"Dr. Cullen, Operating Room One is ready," a woman's voice came over the intercom.

"Edward, I will let you know everything once I am done. Be patient."

I was alone in the waiting room for a few minutes.

A flood of students came rushing in the doors and they all gathered around me, expecting a story.

I silently pushed through the group, looking for an open room where I could just sit and think.

I opened a door and I saw Charlie Swan wearing a hospital gown and laying in a bed.

"Edward," Charlie's voice cracked.

I walked into the room.

Charlie's eyes glistened, "How is my baby girl?"

"I don't know," my voice shook.

"What happened?"

"Bella forgot her bag in the lunch room…she was going to get it…she ran across the parking lot and then…I tried to warn her. I yelled her name and I told her to look out, but I was too late…"

"Who?"

"A new girl."

"Do you think she did it on purpose?"

I shook my head, "I don't think so, but I don't think she meant to slow down either…"

"Do you know how bad her injuries are?"

"My dad said that she probably has some broken ribs and a fractured leg. But he is in surgery right now. When he gets out he will let us know what her total injuries are."

"I can't believe I passed out."

"Charlie. Bella is your daughter. You have no reason to be ashamed of passing out."

"I know, but I should be stronger than that."

"Charlie. Don't. Bella is your daughter."

"She really cares about you, you know."

This made me freeze.

"She might hide it, but she does. I know that she will be glad that she was the one who got hit and you didn't."

"Uh…" What do you say to that?

"Go see how she is doing and report back to me," Charlie gave me a soft smile.

I nodded at Charlie and left the room, making a beeline to Operating Room One.

The nurse let me into the first door and I looked through a window into the operating room.

I could see my dad, dressed in a gown, gloves, hat, and face mask.

I saw three other doctors gathered around a bed.

I couldn't see the bed's occupant.

I saw a nurse add some medicine into the IV and I could see the steady heart beat of the girl I know I love.

I wish I could tell her how I feel, especially after I almost lost her.

I don't want her to think that I am telling her I love her just because she got into this accident though. I want her to know that I love her for her, not because she got hurt.

But I think her getting hurt made me realize how much I had fallen for her.

I rested my head against the window and focused on controlling my breathing.

In…one, two three, out…one, two, three.

"Edward?" My dad's voice made me jump.

I must have looked like shit because he said, "She is going to be fine, but the injuries were a lot worse than I had expected."

I sat down, knowing there was a good chance of me blacking out.

Dad continued, "She fractured her femur, broke three ribs, and has a concussion. One of the ribs punctured her lung and she has hemorrhaging in her kidneys. Her lower vertebras shifted around because of the impact and she has swelling and bruising. Bella is one strong girl. She is going to be fine."

I stood up and headed to the door.

"Edward? Are you going to be okay?"

"Yeah dad, I just have to go tell Charlie how she is doing. Can you come tell us when Bella wakes up?"

"Of course, and Edward?"

I looked at him.

"I'm proud of you. You handled this situation very well and I am impressed. Now go tell Charlie Swan how his daughter is doing."

I smiled and ran to Charlie's room.

-sigh of relief- Bella is going to be okay!

And Edward revealed his true feelings.

Hope you liked it,
