Rawr. I love your reviews so much. I will marry them all!!

This chapter is dedicated to CullenObsessive because her review made me laugh and include it a little in the story.

The song for this chapter is Rooftops by Lostprophets which rocks so bad and is my current fave song!

Chapter 25

'So, Gianna, I'm thinking of moving in here. I mean the rent's free; the beds are comfortable, good food and free showers. Even free health service!' I joked as my nurse redressed my shoulder.

'I'm beginning to think you were a cat in another life (CullenObsessive!!!), Bella. Nine lives…at least!' Gianna replied, her voice laced with an Italian accent. I winced as she pressed slightly too hard on my shoulder. I'd torn a muscle in the attack.

'You've had a many blood transfusions, you could be a different person by now,' Mom sighed from the corner of the room. I smiled at her, exhausted. I'd been in this hospital for two more weeks. It was practically my home now. Mom and dad were renting an apartment in Upper Manhattan, so they could be with me while I recovered. I felt very baby-ed. It was annoying now but cute at first. Edward was here willingly in all of his free time, staying over most nights, no one would dare stop him anymore. As I had missed so many classes, Edward and the others took it in turns to tutor me in what I'd missed. I accepted their help; I did not need to get behind anymore than I already had! Although it wasn't really my fault! Most days one of them brings in a huge stack of work and we go through it together. I'm doing pretty well for being in a coma for six freaking months.

I looked at the clock, trying not to move my aching shoulder. Ten to five, Edward would be here soon, I thought happily. As if on cue the door of my room swung open, revealing a hyped up Edward. He rushed over and scattered kisses all over my face. I giggled.

'How are you?' he asked, pulling back and placing my work bag on the floor.

'Good now, thank you,' I replied, he kissed my lips. I gently shuffled over making enough room for him to sit beside me. He clambered onto the bed and pulled the bag up from the floor. I pulled over my desk, sighing heavily. The bag did look a lot less heavy than the usual, I was gladly surprised. I laid my head lightly on his shoulder, trying not to hurt my shoulder, which screamed in protest but soon shut up.

'What work today?' I asked after a quiet moment. Mom shuffled over in the corner and looked at her watch.

'Sorry, guys, I've got to go. I'll see you later, bye,' she said and kissed my cheek and left. I nodded. Edward tipped the contents of the bag onto the table and only a slim silver case slipped out. I gasped and my eyes widened.

'This better not be what I think it is!' I breathed, running a hand over its shiny surface. I flipped open the lid and glared at it.

'Edward!' I groaned.

'Hey, hey, leave the poor guy, it's a gift from NYU, telling you to 'get well and not almost die again', you're scaring everyone!' Edward told me. I looked at the laptop again and a small grin spread over my face. Then I took into account hat he'd said. I scowled.

'I'm not promising anything!' I grumbled. He chuckled and kissed my cheek.

Time flew by as Edward showed me how to use my new laptop and use it for my college work. I could now be virtually at the lessons. I wouldn't miss a thing because if I got too tired and couldn't listen anymore, the laptop recorded it for me. I caught up with most things. At nine o' clock I turned it off, having caught up with my emails too. Edward put it away. He handed me my iPod as if on ritual. I turned it on and handed him an ear phone. He dimmed the lights and flattened the bed down to a lying position. I curled up into his side and clicked on shuffle of all my songs. I fell asleep to the fast beat of Rooftops by Lostprophets.

I woke up at eleven o' clock. I was becoming too used to getting up late and I pulled my laptop onto my desk, Edward had left for NYU a hell of a lot earlier. He had kindly left me breakfast on the other side of the desk. I was starving because I hadn't eaten last night in the excitement of my laptop. I booted it up and clicked into my current class, which luckily hadn't yet started. I could hear shouts of my classmates, tears filled my eyes, and I wished I was there. No one even seemed bothered by the events that had happened on campus earlier that year. The professor entered the room and everyone went quiet.

'Thank you for joining us, Bella,' he said. I smiled as a few gasps came through the speakers. Then everyone was talking at once, mainly to me. I grinned as I listened to all their messages of best wishes and get better soon or I'll kick your ass nonsense. I laughed as the professor tried to shut them up. I wired up the microphone and headphones to the laptop and began to reply to them. I had a great hour chatting away to them, catching up and getting all the gossip. It felt like I was there and I was so happy. I felt like I could burst.

Then the bell went and no one had learnt anything, the class didn't really get going! It was my fault but that was the fun part of it. I listened and took down notes in the rest of my classes. It was a tiring day and I welcomed lunch.

Alice came in tired and panting from running, it seemed. She flopped in a seat beside my bed.

'Shopping…trial…clothes…discharged…tomorrow!' she breathed. I grinned but then grimaced, the trial was in three days time and I was going to face them all again.

I gulped, Alice was taking me shopping!!

Please review.
