I don't own Twilight

8. She's all mine

APOV

I stared at the shut door my emotions were running wild. What had I done? I felt like running down and hugging Bella, apologize to her, make up but it seemed like my legs wouldn't move. Her dad was coming…That was bad. I had accused her so unjustly. Poor Bella.

"Alice!"

I didn't calm down when I heard Jasper's voice. His familiar arms wrapped around me and rocked me softly. If I told him what had happened he would comfort me even though he knew that it was my fault. I felt so terrible.

"Shh….Honey it's okay. Everyone's happy. Don't worry." He whispered kissing my neck. I shuddered.

I heard the familiar sound of a truck engine starting up. Oh no! She was leaving…Was she that angry? That thought only made me sob more.

"Jasper you need to see this…" Emmett's voice said after almost 15 minutes. I wiped away my tears. I couldn't be seen like this.

Jasper got up and I got up with him.

"Alice…its better that you stay here." He said softly. Jasper nodded in agreement. I sat back down. What was the use of fighting against them?

EPOV (Emmett)

As I watched Edward floated into the room. His eyes were blank. I could tell that he couldn't see anything even though his eyes were wide open. The familiar sense of happiness and lightness were gone….His eyes were empty…

"Edward!" I shouted running to him and stopping him before he crashed into the table. He obliged by stopping but there was no comfort or relief in the motion. He seemed to do it as a reflex.

"Oh my god! What's wrong?" Rose cried rushing over to me. Edward sat on the chair silently. His eyes far off. Rose vanished and then a moment later returned with a towel and began rubbing him with it.

….

"What's wrong Em?" Jasper asked as we rushed down the stairs. He looked annoyed at having been disturbed.

I gestured to Edward.

"What happened?"

I shrugged. Rose had taken off his wet shirt and had wrapped him in a blanket.

"He can get pneumonia" she whispered frantically rubbing at his arms.

"He's not warming up!"

I felt hollow. I was missing out a lot and I knew that. Where was Bella? Was she the reason he was in this…condition? I turned back to Edward. He seemed to be a silent statue. Rose looked scared and Jasper looked terrified. His eyes examined Edward thoroughly.

"A hospital would be the best place to go…" he said finally. I nodded. If there was something wrong that would be best.

"I'll stay with Alice" Rose said softly.

….

"He seems to have gone into shock and the rain has done nothing to improve his condition." The doctor said pulling back Edward's eyelids.

"When will he regain consciousness?" Jasper asked glancing at me worriedly.

"You see, that's the interesting part…He is conscious but in his own world. Only a very big shock or brain damage could have done this. But I already examined his head. So this is purely due to shock." He said turning to face us.

I studied Edward pale body and shuddered. He looked dead. So pale. His skin was still cold and the doctor ordered for an electric blanket.

I went outside and pulled my phone out.

"Bella?"

"Hello….Emmett? What's up?" she asked and even though she put on her best 'I'm okay' act I knew that she was crying.

"Bella, Edward's in the hospital…" I said waiting for a reaction that told me that she was not on her two feet. She didn't disappoint. A moment later I heard a thud.

"What do you mean!" she screamed and I could hear the tears in her voice.

"You'd better come down here." I said before hanging up.

BPOV

I stared at my phone. Edward…was in….the hospital? Why? Was he okay? I grabbed my keys and darted out forgetting to put on my shoes. It was raining so heavily outside. My thin T-shirt was soaked through before I even got to the truck.

I drove through the town blindly. The rain was making it impossible for me to see properly. The tears weren't helping either. Something drove me on. Something told me 'Come on Bella! You know where to go!' and I did. I somehow managed to get to the hospital without losing an arm. I ran through the reception. I didn't need to see where he would be. I knew.

I pushed open a door and there he was. His shirt off. A picture of perfection. No one was there. There was the constant beeping of the ECG and the drip of an IV. I stared at him and realized what a fool I had been to break up with him. I loved him too much. I walked closer not caring about the fact that I was getting mud on the clean hospital floor or that I was dripping wet or that my shirt was transparent. I saw only him.

"Edward….." I said softly taking hold of his hand. So cold. I shivered. My hand was hot compared to his. My hand that had been through ice cold rain was warmer than his.

"Edward! I'm sorry. I don't want to break up with you. I never wanted to. But I love you so much that I had no choice. I don't want you to get hurt. I love you so so much. Please wake up. Please." I begged crying onto his cold chest. His breathing pace increased a little. The tears were never ending. I didn't try to wipe them off. What was the point? I wasn't going to stop any sooner.

"Bella?" his voice asked me. I looked up and saw him looking down at me. The green emeralds that I had missed so much. I sighed in relief and cried even harder. I felt so bad. I knew that all this was because of me.

"Oh Edward. I'm sorry!" I cried. He looked confused. I ran a hand through his hair. He closed his eyes and smiled.

"I thought you broke up with me?" he said looking at me with a touch of fear written in his eyes.

"I could never do that. Even if I was faced by death. I love you too much." I said cuddling up to him.

"Why are you wet? Bella you're dripping!" he said taking a part of my hair and showing it to me. I smiled sheepishly.

"What is this!" a voice called from behind us. I didn't bother to look. I knew it was possibly a doctor or a nurse but I was too busy kissing Edward to notice. His lips were so soft and I realized how much I missed him even though it had hardly been a day. He held me to him tightly.

"Bella, please don't ever do that again." He said pulling me closer to him not caring that I was wet. I shuddered. The entire drive to the hospital had been a nightmare. The thought that something had happened to Edward was too much to take in.

"I won't. Definitely not." I said tracing his lips with my fingers. He smiled slightly. I smiled too. He was the best person in the world.

"You know, I don't mind facing your father if the other option meant losing you. I don't want that Bella, I love you. I need you. You just saw what happened to me when you did what you did. Even I didn't anticipate going into shock…If you were to leave me forever I don't think I'll live it through." He said shivering. I felt terrible at having caused him so much pain. I was juts meant to cause pain. I felt dumb.

"It felt like I was dead and gone. But hell would be better than going through that again. I couldn't see you but I could hear you. I couldn't touch you but I could smell your scent. It was pure torture." He said his eyes clamping together tightly shut.

"I'm sorry Edward…Those moments when I told you that I didn't want you, were the most terrible of my life and I don't remember what happened after. I just remember crying." I said blushing.

"Bella you're tired. Why don't you sleep angel?" he asked touching my cheek softly. I got up slowly and pulled off my shirt.

"Bella what are you doing? He asked looking at me with a blush coloring his cheeks. I smiled at him before removing my jeans. His mouth fell open.

"My clothes are wet Edward….I don't want to worsen your condition." I said walking to the cupboards to get a hospital gown. I knew where they were kept because of my frequent visits here during high school. He laughed lightly.

"You look sexy…" he said letting out a low whistle. I giggled.

"In the hospital gown? Seriously? Did you hit your head?" I asked him slipping in next to him.

"You'd look sexy even wearing a dishrag…" he said pressing his lips to my forehead. I blushed.

"Okay…Enough with the buttering. I am dripping with butter if you can notice." I said wrapping my arms around his chest. He shivered ever so slightly.

"Was that because of the cold?" I asked innocently. He turned pink.

"So Bella, you seem to know this place really well, how come?" he asked me. I smiled at his obvious topic change but didn't complain. His question did have substance after all.

"When I was in high school I had a really bad sense of balance. I frequented the emergency room. I know every doctor and nurse in the ER really well. They usually get surprised when I don't come there once a week." I said smiling.

"Really? Hard to believe that you have a bad sense of balance." He said tightening his arms around me. I grinned.

"Yeah after my uncle experienced that he put me through dance classes for two years. Really helped me improve my balancing skills." I said shrugging. The two years had been plain torture. I succeeded in breaking a guy's leg and twisting another's ankle. After that I had to put in a lot of effort to take interest in my balancing issues.

"Cool…I never thought that you would have balancing problems." He said chuckling. I swatted his chest lightly. He smiled his ever sweet smile and I became mush.

"I love you Bella…" he said softly.

"I love you too Edward…" I said pressing a kiss to his collar bone. He shivered again and I chuckled.

EPOV

I listened to her rhythmic breathing. Having Bella in my arms was so nice. So comfy and so natural. He small hands were on my chest and her leg was around my waist. I stared at the ceiling quietly. I wanted nothing more than to spend my life with Bella. She twitched in her sleep and I patted her softly. She did this a lot.

"Edward….." Emmett said peeking at me from the now opened door.

"Emmett….."

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked me. I nodded. Emmett was nice guy and he was fiercely protective of Bella. I could see his eyes look at his sister lovingly. The way he looked at her was so soft that I felt the urge to run. I knew that he would hunt me if I hurt her and I knew that I would let him.

"She asleep…?" he asked pulling a chair over silently. I nodded again.

"Edward, what are you going to do?" he asked me his eyes letting out his pain for the first time in ages. I watched him silently.

"About what?"

"Edward, my dad isn't one you have seen before and she wasn't kidding when she told you about all the other guys he's beat up." He said rubbing his eyes as he so often did when he was nervous or frustrated. "It's a surprise she actually let you…..I mean…..you know….She usually distances herself from all guys."

"What can I do Emmett?" I asked him, "I want Bella to become mine in the proper way. I don't want to go to Vegas. I want her to have the proper ceremony the proper reception and a proper honeymoon." I said silently. I knew that I wanted that. I loved Bella a lot.

"Leave me out of the honeymoon part, but I can see where you're going with this. Edward now is not the time to be responsible. You have to be rash. Be mindless. Follow your heart not your brain." He said looking at me seriously.

"So you're actually asking me to run away with her?" I asked him incredulously. He nodded. I groaned. Why did my relationship with the only woman I have ever loved have to be so mixed up and dangerous? I'd say I don't know….but now in this case I knew. Her father. Charlie Swan.

"Emmett! I can't make her miss out on all the lovely wedding preparations…I want her to have a life any normal girl expects. But she deserves that life." I said pinching the bridge of my nose with my free hand. I probably looked weird especially with the IV on the arm and all but I didn't care.

"You should know….Bella is anything but normal. She hates big functions, ceremonies, anything that brings her to the centre of attention. She hates all that a lot. So she will actually be thankful if you run away with her, get married and then come back after Charlie cools down a bit…" he said shaking his head.

"A bit? As in he can still rip my balls off, blow my brains out! I can't do that Em." I said knowing that I was fighting a losing battle.

"How much do you love her?" he asked suddenly. I froze. What was with Emmett and his attention span?

"A lot."

"Be more specific."

"I love her more than my own life. She is my life. I will love her until our end and even after that. I will love her and help her in the toughest times of our lives and I'll always be there to share her happy moments. I will love her in my dreams. I can't look away from her. She's my singer. She holds my centre with her. The centre that holds my life….." I cut off when I saw the awed look on his face.

"You love her that much?" he asked eyeing me. I nodded. I could have said more but I didn't want to overwhelm him with my ability to write or say love poems.

"Then you will do whatever she says?" he asked me wiggling his eyebrows. I nodded again wondering where he was going with this.

"Oh yeah! Then she'll ask you to run away with her. She will. I'll make sure she does." He said before jumping up and dashing outside.

Emmett and his moods!

I rolled my eyes.

He was sometimes very unpredictable.

But at the moment I was content…..especially with my Bella sleeping in my arms…..

She's mine after all…

A/N: Sorry for taking so long….But I was busy. Please review….I hope this is good….:)
