16. Accident
Edward was speeding, weaving in and out of traffic. He was driving faster than his normal fast.
I've never seen him drive so crazy like this. I was afraid we would get in a car accident. I had my seat belt on, but that didn't seem like enough to safe me. I was on holding on to the side of the passenger's seat. I'm pretty sure I would be leaving marks on it. Then again, I don't think he would care too much.
He was gripping the wheel so tightly that his knuckles were getting pale white, well from how I was looking at it. It was black in the car. The only lights we got were the cars' headlights. And each time a flash of light hit his face, I saw nothing but anger.
The sight was freaky. It was like my cute little puppy changed into this angry and viscous pit bull. It was scaring me.
"Edward, maybe you should slow down." I said in a scared voice.
"Do you have your seat belt on?" he asked. His tone was angry. The reason he asked because as soon as both doors were closed, he pulled out of the driveway; not looking at me.
"Yes, but-"
"Then my driving shouldn't be a problem." He cut me off.
I choked back my feeling of him cutting me off like that. This wasn't the time to worry about it. I tired talking again. "I know but if you continue going this fast, something might happen to us. It won't do anyone any good if you're both in a hospital bed." I tried to convince him. I don't know if I had an affect on him. his face or actions didn't show that it did or didn't.
He readjusted his hands. Still nothing about the way he drove changed. Then I felt the car speed decrease. "Happy now?"
Not really. I still wanted him to do the speed limit. But I was glad he at least listened to me, some what.
I wanted him to keep talking. Maybe that would relax him a little. "So are you going to tell me what happened?" I asked.
He breathed hard. "I told you, they got in a car accident." He kept it short.
"I know, I mean how?" please calm down and talk to me.
"Rosalie hit a piece of black ice. They ran into a light pole." He explained. But again, he kept it short again. His voice never changed.
"Is he okay?" I asked. I wanted him to keep talking.
But he didn't. "They don't know anything yet." He breathed hard. I could tell I was getting on his nerves, but I couldn't stop.
"Edward, please."
"Bella, my sister and best friend were in a car accident and he's in the hospital, so excuse me if I don't feel like making small talk about it right now." He snapped.
That sure made me be quite. "Right." I mumbled.
He breathed deeply. I think he was trying not to snap again or something. I felt the car speed up again.

When we got there, he got out the second he parked. He didn't open my door like any other time; just when I was getting use to it. But I understood why he did.
I got out and followed him. which wasn't as easy as it sounds. He was walking just as fast, if not faster, as he was in the house.
As we walked through the door, it didn't take him long to find the front desk. He jogged over to it.
The nurse behind it looked at the sound his heavy footsteps approaching the counter. "Can I help you, sir?" she asked.
"Yes. I'm here to see Emmett McCarty." He said.
"Are you family?" she looked at him over the top of her glasses.
"I'm his brother." He lied without hesitation. I didn't say anything about it. I knew for a fact if something happened to Alice, I wouldn't think twice about saying I was her sister to see her.
"Okay." She started looking through papers in front of her. On the corner of my eyes, I saw him tapping the counter top.
I placed my hand on top of his, which made him stop. He looked at me. I said nothing. I just started rubbing his hand lightly. I was happy when he didn't pull back like I thought he would. He flipped his over and held it with mine. I gave him a small smile. He didn't smile back.
"Here it is." The nurse said. He snapped his head back to her. "Yes, Emmett, he's still being looked at. Please wait in the waiting room." She gestured to the room with chairs in it.
He nodded. He pulled me to the room. I felt his hand squeeze mine as he did. I just squeezed back. I knew he needed me now.
When we got there, I saw a woman sitting and crying into her hands. I couldn't see her face because what wasn't covered by her hands was covered by her hair. The only way I could tell who it was by her hair.
It was his sister.
I saw Jasper with his arms around her, trying to comfort her; it looked like.
"How is he? Any word yet?" Edward said when we approached them. Jasper looked at us. He shook his head.
"No. nothing yet."
Edward sighed hard and ran his free hair through his hair. Rosalie looked up at him. Her eyes were blood shot. She had black streaks running down her face. She had cuts over her face and hands.
"Edward." She cried. She got up and ran over to him. She locked her arms around him and pulled him in a tight hug. He let go of my hand and hugged her back just as tightly. I folded my arms tightly across my chest. My hand felt empty.
"Edward, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I should've paid more attention to the road. I should've let him drive instead. I should of…I should of… I don't know." She cried deeply into his shirt.
He rested his head on top of hers. "I know. This could've happened to anyone. There was no way you could've seen it. That's why it's called black ice." He tried to calm her down. His tone was totally different from how he was talking to me in the car.
"What if he doesn't make it? What if something happened? I don't think I could take it. It will be all my fault." When she was finished talking, she cried harder into his shirt. I can't say I knew exactly how she felt.
"Stop blaming yourself. And don't say things like that. He'll be fine." I noticed how his voice dropped at the last sentence. I could tell he was trying to convince himself just as well as her.
She looked up and nodded. She wiped her eyes. When they were cleared, she looked at me. Then that's when her emotion changed. She went from sad to annoy. There's the Rosalie I meant a few hours ago.
She rolled her eyes. "What is she doing here?" she said. He turned around and looked at me, like he forgot I was behind him. He sighed hard.
He turned back at her. "Rosa, don't do that." He said.
She pulled back from him. "No. I told you I didn't want her here."
"Rosalie…" he warned through his teeth. "Do not do that, not now." He warned.
Jasper got up and rested his hands on her shoulders. "Rosalie, now's not the time." He said in a calm voice.
She shrugged away from him. "This is supports to be a family moment. Not family plus Edward's favor of the month." She snapped before walking away. My eyes popped at how her mood changed so quickly.
Jasper rubbed the back of his neck as he sighed hard. "It's good to see you again, Bella. Thanks for coming." He said to me. I gave him a small smile. He looked over to where Rosalie went. She was now on the floor, in a tight ball, crying into her hands again. "I better go check on her." Jasper said before walking away.
Edward turned to me. "Sorry, about that. She's just stressed out." He tried to excuse her.
I gave a small nod. "It's okay, I understand." I sat down in a chair. I was getting tired of standing.
"No it's not. She didn't have a right to say that." He said, sitting next to me.
I shrugged. If anyone didn't have a right it was me. I shouldn't be here. I mean I didn't even know Emmett. I just meant the guy a few hours ago.
"She did. This really should just be you and your family. If you want me to leave, I'll just called Alice to pick me up." I told him.
He wrapped his arms around me. "Stop it. You're not here for her; you're here for me." He kissed the side of my head. "I need you right now." He admitted in a low voice.
I was glad he said that. It made me feel better that he brought me because he needed me and not to spite his sister or because he didn't feel like taking me home.
I got up and sat on his lap. He held me tighter to his chest as if his life depended on me. He kissed my neck. "I'm sorry I snapped at you." He said as he rested his head on my shoulder.
"I understand why you did."

After a while, we were still sitting here in the same spot; not moving an inch. Every few minutes, I felt him breath deeply along my neck. I just held him closer.
"He's going to be okay." I said in a low tone each time.
"How do you know that?" he said, his voice cracking.
I sighed and kissed him on the forehead. "He will." I assured him. I didn't know what else to say to him. What if he was okay? I could see it that if something happens, to would crush Edward.
After a few minutes, I noticed my hand shaking. I clinched tightly in my other hand to hide it.
"Babe, you're shaking." He noticed. I looked down and saw my leg shaking. Damn it. I didn't want him to notice that. "Are you okay?" Damn my anxiety. It kicks in every once in a while.
I nodded. "I'm fine." I hugged him tighter. "Don't worry about it, I'm fine."
"No you're not. You're shaking like a leave. Are you cold?" he asked. Before I could answer, he started taking his coat off.
I shook my head. "No, it's not that. It's just, my anxiety kicking in again." I tried to play it off but he would let it go.
He looked worried. "Why is it kicking in?" he asked.
"It does that when I'm stressed or worried for a long period of time. The reason it's happening now because of where we are." I told him.
He looked around. "A hospital?" he asked. I nodded as I hugged him again. "Are you scared of doctors?"
I shook my head. I wasn't scared of them. I wasn't fond of them, but not afraid. "It just makes me worry unnecessarily."
"Why?" he asked. Now I was getting annoyed. I wish he would let it go. My anxiety is not something I like talking about too much.
I sighed. "The last time I was in a hospital this long…" I paused and looked at him. "My dad died." I admitted.
His face dropped. "Do you need to go?"
I shook my head. "Stop it Edward." I wrapped his arms around me again and leaned into him. "You need to be here, so this is where we're staying." I told him.
He tightened his grip. "Okay, but if you need something, tell me." I nodded in assurance. It's just a little shaking. It usually stops in a few.
We were still there after what seem like forever. If I was stressing out this badly, I can only imagine what Edward and Rosalie are going through. If this was reversed and Edward was in there, I couldn't handle it.
But finally someone came out. "Family for Emmett McCarty." A nurse called to us. All four of us jumped up and ran over to her.
"How is he?" Jasper was the first to ask.
She looked at her chart. The wait was killing me. "He lost a little more than a few ounces of blood; his arm is broken and some of his ribs are bruised, they're not crack but pretty close; and he has a mile concoction." All we were hearing were bad news. Was it going to get good; and if so, can it get there quickly, please?
"But…" Edward said.
She looked up at us and smiled. "But besides that, he will be just fine."
I heard the three of them let out an air of relieve. I swear I was right there with them. It felt like the tight bubble that was wrapped around us popped, and light came in.
Edward wrapped his arms tightly around me.
"Can he have visitors?" Rosalie asked.
The nurse nodded. "Yes, but only a few. He needs his rest."
We all nodded, but she walked away. I gave a yawn. I've been be doing this for a while. It sometime after midnight and we've been here all night. I was tired.
"Edward, maybe you should take Bella home." Jasper suggested. Of course he saw me yawning. He's been noticing it all night. This wasn't the first time he suggested that.
Edward looked at me and saw me yawning again and wiping my eyes. "You're probably right."
I shook my head. "I'm fine." I lied. I was really tired but he should stay here.
He put his hand behind my knees and picked me up. "Sure you are." He said then turned away from his siblings. "I'll see you guys later." He called over his shoulder.

As soon as we got to his house, I changed out of my clothes and went to sleep. He didn't lay down with me. He said he wanted to stay up to think about some things. I was fine with that. I understood he wanted time alone. His best friend did almost die.
I woke up around four or five in the morning to go to the bathroom. When I got back to the room, I realized I was still in bed alone.
Then I heard something be sat on a table. I figured he must still be downstairs.
I turned out the room and walked down the stairs. I saw a figure sitting on the couch. "Edward?" I called to him.
He turned to me. "Bella, what are you doing up?"
I walked over to the couch. "I had to go to the bathroom." I flipped on a light as I walked pass it. "What are you doing sitting in the dark?" I asked as I sat on the couch next to him, fixing it so my body was facing him.
He shrugged. "Just thinking. I never got around to turning one on." He said. He brought his glass to his lips. What he was drinking looked like water. I turned to the table and saw a bottle.
When he took it away from his lips, it was half empty. I took the glass from his hand and brought it to my nose. The smell of alcohol burnt my nose.
"Edward, have you been drinking?" I asked with worry in my voice. He nodded as he took the glass back. Well at least he didn't lie to me. "How many glasses have you had?" I asked.
He shrugged. "I don't know. A few." He said as he brought the glass back to his lips. A few? What the hell could that mean? When he pulled it back again, the glass was empty.
I looked at the bottle again. Next to it, I saw clear wrapping and the top next to it. A little less than half the bottle was gone. I picked it up to get a better look. I was right. "Was this bottle opened?" I asked. He shook his head. At least he wasn't a lying drunk. My eyes popped. "Edward, this bottle is half way gone." I exclaimed. I can't believe he actually sat here and drank an half a bottle of Vodka.
He shrugged again as he took it out my hand to refill his glass. I shook my head as I took it back. "I think you've had enough." I said as he brought the glass to his lips. I took the glass away from him.
He looked at me. He tried to take out of my hand but I pulled back. "You're done." I told him. I put the cap back on the bottle. Then I took both of them to the kitchen. I poured what was let in the glass down the drain and put the bottle back in a cabinet.
When I came back, he was leaning on his knees with his face hidden in his hands. He ran them up to his hair and gripped it tightly. He looked like he was trying to pull it out.
I walked over to him and sat next him again. I took his wrists and pulled. He wouldn't let go of his hair. If he didn't I was afraid he been actually yank it from the roots. "Edward, stop it." I demanded. He finally let me take his hands away from his hair.
I place them in my lap. I ran my hands through his hair to somewhat fixed it. I probably was just making it worst. "What are you doing?" I asked him.
"I'm not doing anything, Bella." he said as he slowly blinked.
"You're trying to hurt yourself. What the matter with you?" I demanded.
"Nothing." He yanked his hands away.
"Edward, please don't do that to me. Tell me what's wrong." I pushed him
He sighed hard. "I don't know. I just keep thinking about Emmett and Rosalie." He said looking away. He rested his head against the one of the pillows. He placed his hands on his face.
"What are you talking about? They're both fine." I reminded him. I know it's been a while since we left them, but if anything would have happen, Jasper would've called.
"I know, but…" he stopped and took his hands away. He looked at me. "What if they weren't? I mean I would've lost two people I cared about and all I could think about was… was…" he stopped and covered his face again. He groaned loudly.
I knew what he was thinking even through he didn't say it. "If you start blaming yourself, I'm going to slap you." I threatened. He looked at me like I was crazy. "You couldn't have known; it's not like you have a sixth scents for things like this." I told him my reason for the threat.
"But Bella…" he tried, but I stopped him.
I snaked my hands around his neck. "Edward, don't think about something like that. They're fine. Don't start seeing the glass half empty. That's not the Edward I know. The Edward I know would just be happy everyone's safe now, not thinking about what shoulda, woulda, coulda, happened. " I gave him a small smile. I gave his lips a sweet and soft kiss. "Come to bed with me." I told him.
He placed his hand on top of mine. He brought it to his lips and kissed it. Then he kissed my lips before nodding. I braided my fingers between his and pulled both of us off the couch then up the stairs.

We slept in the next day. Well I slept in. I didn't wake up until around noon. This was one of the only times I slept that late. I didn't care. All I care about was that his arm was around me all night.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw him staring at me. I gave a light jump. It surprised me to see his eyes on me.
"I'm sorry." He said with a frown.
I gave a light smile. "Don't be. I like waking up to your face." we gave each other a good morning kiss. "Have you been to sleep?" I couldn't help but asked. When we came up, as soon as he got undressed and put his arm around me, I fell back asleep. So I wasn't sure or not.
He nodded. "I was waked up an hour or so ago." He explained.
"Have you been watching me sleep the whole time?" I smiled.
He chuckled. "Yeah. I know it's a little weird, but you're kind of fascinating to me." he tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear. "Even while you sleep." He looked at me in my eyes. "You talked in your sleep again." He said.
My smiled dropped then I rolled my eyes. I really need to work on that. If someone wanted to hear my secrets, all they got to do is wait until I go to sleep. "What did I said this time?"
"You kept saying you're scared." He said with serious eyes. "What are you scared of?" he asked.
I shrugged. I think I had a clue, but I didn't want to tell him. "Bad dream, I guess."
"Are you okay now?" he asked.
I smiled at him. I placed my hand on his cheek. "As long as you're with me, I'm perfect."
He smiled at me. "Yes you are." He grabbed my hand. He rolled on his back, pulling me on top of him. I hugged my arms around him then put my lips to his.
He pulled away. "We had some day yesterday, huh." He said.
I gave a little chuckle. "It wasn't one of my favorite." I told him. To think, we actually skipped school to get away from all the drama.
He chuckled back. "It was one of mine." I crooked an eyebrow. How could he like the day we had after all that happened? "Anytime I can spent the whole day with you is my favorite day." He clarified. I nodded. I felt the same.
"Well, at least we can start this day off correctly." I smiled.
He smiled back, "I think I know just how to do that." I knew where he was going. I leaned in to press my lips against his.
But then I leaned away. "Why were you drinking last night?" I asked. I remembered because of the fact that he had a fate taste of alcohol on his lips.
He shrugged. "I don't remember." He said.
I gave him a serious look. "Is that your real answer?" I asked. He opened his mouth to say something, but I stopped him. "No it's not." I answered for him.
He gave me a small smile. "Because you know me so well." He teased.
I nodded. i knew that wasn't the real answer. Even if he didn't, I was going to get something out of him besides that. It was a crap answer and I wasn't accepting it.
I folded my arms on his chest and propped myself on my elbows. "So why were you drinking?" I asked again as I got serious again. He looked away as if he did want to tell me. What did he think, that if he said the wrong thing, I would get up and leave? I kissed his cheek. "Just tell me please." I said to him.
He sighed and turned to me. "Fine. The first one or two was just to calm my nerves." I nodded for him to continue. "Then as I drank another glass, I started thinking."
"About what?" I asked.
He gave a shrug with a sigh. "I don't know; different things. But my thoughts kept going back you my family and Emmett and you."
I gave him a confused looked. "Why me?" I had to ask. I wasn't in a car accident.
"I don't know. I kept thinking to myself 'She's so amazing. What am I doing with a great girl like her? I don't deserve her because what if my life continues going the way it was going? I don't want to ruin her for the next guy.'" He told me.
"Why were you thinking that?" I asked him.
He sighed again. "I was just over-thinking things again. I tend to do that when I drink and I already had some things on my mind. It just seems like the alcohol kind of lay everything out and they are under a 25 time magnifying glass."
I smiled at him. "Well stop over thinking everything." Because the job was already taking by me. If we're both over thinking, we're going to drive ourselves insane when all of it comes crashing down. I leaned and kissed his lips again.
But was done with all that now. I just wanted to enjoy the day with Edward before I go back home.
I pushed his hair back. "Can we still start the day off right?" I asked him. I didn't know if he wanted to still do that after another heart to heart.
He gave me smile then moved his hands under the shirt. He started pulling up my torso. I pulled back so he could get it over my head, and then tossed it to the floor. I was about to lean back in when his phone rang.
He groaned loudly. "What is it now?"
"We should get that." I told him, looking at his cell phone.
"No. we really shouldn't." he said, trying to kiss me again.
I pulled away to look at him. "Remember the last time you didn't wanna answer your phone?" I reminded him. He rolled his eyes at the thought.
"Fine. Get it." He said.
I reached over him and grabbed his phone off the nightstand. I looked at the screen. "It's Jasper." I told him as I saw the name flash. I flipped it open and answered it. "Hey Jasper." I answered.
"Wow, Edward, your voice has gotten really famine." He joked.
I rolled my eyes."It's Bella." I told him.
I heard him laughed. "Well, in that case you have a beautiful voice." He said. He laughed again. Then he stopped. "What are you doing at his house; I thought he took you home."
"No, when we got back it was late so I just stayed here." He said he understood and started laughing again. When he started laughing, I got what he was trying to say. I rolled my eyes at the comment. Says the person who just interrupted us. "Why are you calling anyways; is everything okay?"
"Yeah. Everything's fine. Rosa and I are here with Emmett now."
"Oh, okay. You want to talk to Edward then?" I asked. Edward held out his hand when I said that.
"No, I can tell you." Jasper said. I pushed Edward's hand away. "I told Emmett you guys were here last night and he's been asking for you two."
"Okay, I'll tell Edward and he can come when I leave."
"You can come too, you know." He told me. I smiled at the offer.
"I think I invaded on you all's family time enough yesterday. But thanks for the offer." I told him. "I'm about to go anyways. Tell Emmett I said I'm glad he's okay." I said.
"Will do. See you later."
"See ya." I hung up the phone. Edward asked me what happened with his eyes. I closed the phone and looked at it. "You're gonna hate me." I told him, looking up from the phone.
"Why?" he said slowly.
"Your friend is asking for you." I told him.
"What does that-?" he stopped when he saw my face. "Bella, come on. He'll still be there in minute or two." He tried to convince me. I laughed at how fast he believes he'll be done.
"I know. But he wants to see you now. I wouldn't feel right if I kept you from him."
"Bella." He started.
I stopped him again. "Edward, they need you."
He hugged his arms around my body and pulled me closer to his. "But I need you." He damn near whined. It was a total different meaning than he had last night.
I needed him too. More than he could know. But I think being with his friend is more important. Especially after how he was acting last night.
"I know. But if you don't go now, you are going to regret it later." I told him. He groaned, knowing I was right.
"Fine, I'll go. But if something happens, it's going to be your fault." He said. I laughed at him.
I leaned to get him a quick kiss. "You'll be fine. Now let me go so I can go take a shower." I told him. He loosened his grip so I could get out of it.

We were in his room. Edward and me, me and Edward. We were laying on his bed.
Everything was off. Phones unplugged, doors locked and windows shut. No interruptions this time. I laid on to top of him and our lips danced perfectly in sync with each other's. Both of our shirts were already off.
I ran my fingers up and down his body. I ran them down to his pants. I unbutton them. But just as I was but to pull them down…
"Bella." Alice sang in my ear. Damn it, even in my fucking daydream. I looked at her. "Daydreaming again, Miss Swan?" she teased as she continued to write something.
I looked around to see I was in my first period class. Where the hell my weekend go; shit, where the hell my morning go?
"Of course I am." I said while stretching. "It's the only time I can think freely without feeling bad." I told her as I laid my head on my folded arms.
"What was it about this time?" she asked.
I looked at him and smiled. Just then he gave me a small smile. "Him." I turned my head to her. "I've been giving him his space. He kinda had a rough weekend." I told her. She didn't know about what happened to his friend. I haven't gotten around to telling her. Then again, it didn't seem too important to mention. It wasn't my business to tell.
"What's wrong?" she stopped then a smile creep onto her face. She turned to me. "Was his ruler not wooden?" she said, trying everything she had to hold in her laughs.
I narrowed my eyes at her. Really? She really just went there? I balled up a piece of paper. "Be quite." I hissed as I threw it at her. She just laughed at me. I rested my head on my arms again. I sighed. "No. that's just fine. When we get the chance to do it anyways.
"What do you mean when you get the chance?" she asked.
I shrugged. "Interruptions." I put simply.
She nodded. "So what happened this weekend?" she asked as she started writing again. I looked over her shoulder to se what she was writing. She was starting the homework he just gave a few minutes ago.
"He's best friend and sister got in an accident Friday night." She turned her head to me in worry. "They're fine." I assured her. "It's just; I can tell that's been distracting him." I told her. I looked over to him and saw him texting someone.
He looked at me then smiled. He looked down to his phone. My phone buzzed in my pocket a minute later. Shouldn't you be doing work, Miss Swan? He texted me.
I looked at and smiled. I shook my head. who were you texting before texting me? I texted him back.
I looked up at him. 'Jasper' he mouthed.
I frowned. 'Is everything okay?" I mouthed back. He nodded.
'Don't worry. Everything's fine.' he mouthed back. Then he looked down at his phone. My phone rang again. Now get back to work. He texted me. I looked at him again. He gave me a wink. He turned away from me and started writing.
"Things are okay?" Alice asked. She was still writing.
I sighed. "Yeah, everything's fine."

On Friday, I was so excited to see him.
I was still giving him his space on Monday. He had a meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. And I had to go to the library with Alice to study for a test on Thursday. So by the time Friday came back around, I was basely jumping up and down as I waited for Alice.
"Will you hurry up?" I begged her. She looked at me and rolled her eyes. Then she started looking through her notebooks. "Now you're just trying to piss me off."
She shook her head as she got out the notebook she needed. "Bella, will you calm down."
"No, he's waiting." I reminded her. I had come to school early. I just couldn't wait to see him.
"He will still be there when we get in there." She said.
I tapped my foot impatiently. "Yeah, but the soon we get there, the more time we will have." I told her.
"Why don't you go by yourself then? You do it any other time." she said looking through some papers.
Because last time I did that, you walked in on us and almost made us break up. No way was I letting that happened again. It was way too embarrassing the first time. "Because, I want you to stand guard." I came up with an excuse.
She sighed hard. "Okay, here I come." She said getting her things. I bounced as I waited. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. I repeated in my head. Finally she closed her locker.
When she did, I grabbed her sleeve and dragged her to his room.
His door was open, so I ran right in. "There she is." Edward said the minute we stepped in the room. "Hey beautiful." he greeted me.
I let go of her hand. "Hi Edward." I smiled. If I was smiling harder, my face would've cracked.
"So I guess I'm just the invisible friend, huh?" Alice said behind me. Yes, yes you are. Now be invisible and be quiet, I said in my head.
He looked over my shoulder. "Good morning, Alice." He nodded to her.
"Hi Edward." She said back to him. Yeah, yeah. Now force back on me, Edward. I heard her closed the door. "You're good." She said.
"Thank God." I mumbled. I ran into his opened arms. He pulled me close to him. I jumped and locked my legs around his waist, along with my lips around him. I kissed his lips hungrily. He responded the same way.
When we pulled away, we were both breathing hard. I rested my forehead against. "It feels like forever since we've done that." I said. He chuckled.
"I know exactly what you mean." he walked over to his desk and sat me on it. He took my hand and brought it to his lips. He light kissed my wrist. "I've…missed…every...inch… of you." He said between the kisses he placed up my arm to my neck.
"And I've missed you." I accidently sighed out loud. I tilted my head to the side as he kissed my collar bone. I let out another sigh. Man, I knew I missed his touch, but I didn't know it was this much.
Alice exhaled deeply, reminding us she was still there and not to get ahead of ourselves. To mess with her, I let out a moan as he rubbed my leg, which was still wrapped around his waist.
She gave a loud and fake throat clear. Edward and I both chuckled as he pulled away. "We're sorry, Alice." He said. I wasn't. But I agreed.
"Yeah, sorry." I smiled. She looked at us and saw my smile then rolled her eyes. I laughed as I turned back to Edward. "How was your week?"
"Okay." he shrugged. He intertwined our fingers together.
"How's Emmett doing?" I wanted to ask. We were away from each other for six days. I would at least want to know if it even did some good.
"He's fine." he looked into my eyes. "He's been asking about you." He said. I gave him a confused look. Why would Emmett be asking about me? "He keeps asking where his 'girl' is." He said rolling his eyes. I laughed at his motion.
His girl was the one with blond hair that should be sitting next to his bed. But Edward's girl is busy with school. "Did you try to break his other arm?" I chuckled.
He laughed back and rested his forehead against mine. "Believe me, I did. But Rosalie beat me to the punch." After that we were both laughing at Emmett's pinheadness.
"When is the next time you're going to visit him?" I asked him.
"Today after school. Why?"
"I'm guessing he wouldn't mind if I came with you." I smiled. I wanted to see if he was as okay as they keep saying or were they just saying something to keep my nerves down. Plus I think it should be good to see him and Jasper again. Rosalie…I think I can go a few more days without seeing.
He smiled back. "I don't care too much about him. But I would love if you come today." He leaned in to give me a peck on the lips.
"Okay. My mom is going to a couple's house to finish helping them decorate a room. So, I'll be over around five." He nodded. I looked at my hand as it roamed his body. I could feel his perfect body under his shirt. Now all I could think about was what was under his clothes. I gave an inward sigh.
I walked my fingers back up to his tie. I started playing with it between my fingers. "Have I ever told you how good you look in a tie?" I said. Not like he didn't look good in everything. I watched my fingers make small circles in the fabric.
He chuckled. "It's nice to hear." He leaned in to my ear and nibbled it. "You know it's something else we haven't done in a while." He said in a low tone in my ear. I smiled. Wrong thing to say because I knew exactly what he meant. It was all I kept thinking about.
I wrapped my hand around his tie and pulled him to my lips. "You think we have time for a quick one." I asked when we pulled back.
He chuckled. "I don't think Alice would appreciate that." he nodded towards the door. I saw her standing there. I forgot she was in here again.
"You'll be right." she said over her shoulder.
"I bet she wouldn't mind." I smiled at him.
"You would be loosing that bet, Miss Swan." She said over her shoulder again. I rolled my eyes. Yeah, yeah.
He laughed at me. He gave me a sweet kiss. "Later." He promised. I nodded. I prefer sooner then later.
"It's probably best you stop anyways, the halls starting to fill." Alice said. I quickly pushed him away and jumped down off his desk.

We got to the hospital a little later than I hoped to. My mom was running away like a chicken with its head cut off and took her forever to leave the house.
When we got there, he took no time pulling me to Emmett's room. He would know where it is. Edward's been here almost every day since the day it happened.
Emmett's door was cracked. Edward pushed it opened. I hadn't seen him so I didn't know what to expect. When he did, I saw Emmett lying on a hospital bed. I gasped at the sight.
His head was wrapped and I could see a big cut under his eye. Plus he had a case on his right arm. It was like the one I had, but bigger.
"It look worst than it actually is."Edward said in my ear. Of course it did. Just a stupid reaction. I nodded as he pulled me in the room. Emmett was flipping through the channels as we did. He turned to us and smiled.
"Hey! Edward's here." He announced. The guy could call plays of a football game without a fucking mike with how loud his voice his.
Rosalie got up and hugged her brother. Then she looked over his shoulder and saw me. The same look she had on her face on Friday night was there now, but less annoyed; if that was possible. She rolled her eyes at me as she pulled away from Edward. "You brought her again." She said more as a statement then question.
"Nice to see you too, Rosalie." I muttered sarcasily as I looked away from her. I felt him yank on my hand. I looked at him. He gave me a look. I just kept quiet.
"She came to see Emmett." He told her.
"Whatever." She mumbled as she sat back down.
That reminded me why I was here. I turned to him. "Hi, Emmett." I said to him, giving him a small smile.
"It's about time we see you again. I was starting to think you were a fitment of our imagination." He smiled at Edward. I laughed. I could see where this was going.
"How are you feeling?" Edward ignored the statement.
"Why don't you ask your sister how I'm feeling?" Emmett wiggled his eyebrows as he nodded to Rosalie. She was flipping through some bridal magazine. She had some ear buds in her ears so I was guessing she didn't hear him.
Edward sighed hard. He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Dude, what have I told you about talking about my sister like that?"
Emmett tiled his head to the side as if he was deep in thought. "Don't do it while she's in the room?" he guessed. I was just assuming that wasn't the answer. The fact Edward growled kinda tipped it off too.
He started walking to his bed, but I held on to his hand; which caused him to stop in his tracks.
"How are you feeling?" I asked him seriously as I pulled Edward back to my side.
"Better. My side is still killing me and my head kinda hurts, but I could be worst. I actually get to leave tomorrow. "
"That's good." I smiled.
"Yeah it is. That beeping is really starting to ware on my nerves." He complained as he readjusted himself.
"You better hope it doesn't stop beeping." Someone said. I turned around and saw Jasper in the door way. I realized just then that he wasn't in the room when Edward and I came in. no wonder it felt like something – or someone – was missing.
"Hi Jasper." I smiled. Just then everyone turned to him.
"Hey Bella." he walked over and gave me a hug. "Long time no see." He smiled. They keep saying this like I've been away for months. It's only been a few days. I just shrugged.
"Where were you?" I asked.
"I went to get Emmett something to eat." He looked in the bag and pulled out a pudding cup. He tossed it to Emmett. "Enjoy." Edward pulled to a chair on the opposite side of the room. He sat down then pulled me to his lap.
Emmett made a disgusted sound. I thought it had something to do with me sitting on Edward's lap. But when I looked up, he wasn't even looking our way. "What's your problem?" Jasper asked with a tone that said he didn't really care as he sat in the middle of the bed.
"Why did you get me tapioca? I hate tapioca." He responded.
Jasper just shrugged. "It was all they had" he said digging into his own pudding cup. I chuckled in my head. Funny, I don't remember seeing brown tapioca pudding.
"Couldn't you have gotten me something else?" he whined. Wow, he sounded like a child.
"Emmett, just eat the damn pudding and be happy I got you something." He said.
"I hate tapioca." He mumbled as he played with it with his spoon. Jasper groaned.
"Emmett." Was all he said to make him be quiet. I couldn't help but to laugh out loud. I looked at Edward.
"Are they always like this?" I asked him.
He chuckled. "Yeah, they can act pretty childish." From what I seen, he can be right along with them that way.

After a while, Jasper turned to us. "So Bella, how's school?" he asked me.
"Why do you ask?" my face showed surprise. Why would he be asking that? Wait a second. He meant college. Of course that's what he meant. Gosh, paranoid much?
He shrugged. "Just trying to get you to talk. You seem like just a mute." He pointed out. That was because I was still observing them. I wanted to see how they acted so I wouldn't do or say the wrong thing.
"Nothing special I guess." I would guess right. There was nothing special about school; of any kind. That's why I was counting down the days. One more year and I'll be done; with high school anyways.
"Alright. Are you excited for break?" he asked.
That made a smile come across my face. Two weeks alone with Edward; not worrying about anything. How could I not be excited? "Yes."
Jasper chuckled at my excitement. He doesn't understand how happy I am about that. "So when you go on break?" he asked.
"The twenty-first."I said without thinking.
He gave a puzzled look. "Same time as Edward?" he said. I closed my eyes. Man I was stupid. This was the third or fourth time I slipped up like that. Of course we would get out the same time. We go to the same school. I slowly opened them.
I shrugged. "Consequence, I guess."
He nodded. "So that means you coming home with Edward, then?" he asked. Now it was my turn to give a confused look. What did he mean by that?
"Which I hadn't asked her about yet." Edward hissed between his teeth behind me. Jasper put his hands in defense as he turned away from us.
I turned in Edward's lap to face him. "What did he mean by that?"
"Don't worry about it." He said, rubbing my back. He thought I would leave it alone just by those little words but that just made me want to know more.
"What is it?" I asked again.
"Bella, can we talk about this later?" he said. I didn't want to talk about it later. I wanted to know. And I didn't want to step outside because they would think he was in trouble but he wasn't. I just wanted to know.
"Just tell me."
He sighed hard. "Fine. Remember when I said my father wants everyone together for the holidays?" he asked. I nodded. "Well, they called when Emmett got in the car accident and Jasper told them about you." He said. I nodded again. He really wasn't getting to the point. But I probably should've got when he glared at his brother's back. He looked back at me. "They want to meet you."
My face dropped. Meeting his brother and sister in a bar was one thing. But his parents, I really don't think I could do that. Wait maybe it wasn't that bad. "Wait a second, why didn't you want to tell me?"
He sighed again. "Because they live near Seattle and want us to stay the whole weekend. Friday, Saturday and the leave on Sunday." He counted on his fingers.
Red alert, red alert. Now I see the problem. I can't spend the whole weekend in the house with them. What if they don't like me or something? Where would I have to run? I know the answer; no where.
"Edward, I don't know…" I started. I tried to look for an excuse.
"Please Bella. They really want to meet you." I still looked on edge about it. I wish he stop using that line against me. "Plus it will give us a chance to spend Christmas together." That was playing dirty. He knew I would pass up something like that.
"I guess. I mean what's the worst that could happen?" I smiled. Why the hell did I just say that?
Every time someone asked that damn question, that's just about the time everything goes to hell. Its like Pandora's box and that was the fucking key. As soon as you say them, the box opens and everything that can possible goes bad, does.
But this is not a show, so it things can't go that badly.
He got a big smile. "Don't worry. They will love you." He assured. I looked at him with a smile. Hopefully they will.
I didn't want to think about that now. I leaned in and pressed my lips against his.
"Do you guys ever tired of that?" we heard someone said. We pulled away and looked in the other's direction. Of course Emmett was smiling. "Every time we turn away from you, you do that." he said.
I got embarrassed. I knew because I felt my cheeks getting hot. He was right. I looked down to get them from seeing my blush. "Sorry." I muttered.
Jasper laughed. "Don't be embarrassed, Bella. At least you're not basely fucking in front of people like these two." I could only conjecture he was nodding towards Rosalie and Emmett.
His choose of words didn't really help me. I felt Edward's arms wrap tightly around me. "Watch the language, please." He said.
It was Emmett's turn to laugh. "Come on, Edward. She's twenty, not seven. I'm pretty sure she heard worst." He pointed out.
He was half right. I've heard worst things around the halls in Forks High School. Teenagers; we don't have the cleanest mouths. It was just weird hearing things that harsh around Edward. The worst thing they said last Friday was damn.
"Still." Edward said.
I looked up at them. Jasper bowed his head. "Yes, father." He joked.
Edward gave a disgusted sound. "Don't compare me to that man." He complained. Again with his father issues. If he couldn't stand his father so much, I wondered why he wanted me to meet him?
After that, they were talking about his father and other family things. By now Rosalie had her ear buds out and was joining it.
I kept quiet so I could listen and know what to expect. But somewhere in the middle, I tuned out.
I was thinking of what to tell me mom about that weekend. My mom and I never spent a Christmas apart since my dad die.
I wish this wasn't so complicated. I wished my mom knew who I was dating. There was no doubt in my mind that she would like him. We first met him together on my first day of school. The parents came the first hour so they could meet their child's teachers. When she met him, she even said herself that 'He seems like a good teacher. I think I'm going to like him.'
That was the thing. She wouldn't be meeting him as my teacher, but as my boyfriend. As my teacher she would say something like "He's a nice, young teacher. He's smart for this being his age. And he's very attractive."
But if she met him as my boyfriend, that talk will go a little more like this. "Bella are you out of your mind? That man is too old for you! He's your teacher for calling out loud!" I cringed at the through. I could almost hear her yelling it in my ear.
It's amazing how the whole conversation could change with just one word.
Somewhere along the thinking, I felt myself getting sleepy. I cuddled closer to his chest and laid my head on his shoulder.
I will never get over the feeling I get when his arms are around me. He can make me feel so safe. Fucking World War III could break out, but as long as I'm in his arms, I would know I'm safe.
"Bella, ready to go?" he said in my ear.
I shook my head along his shoulder. "I'm fine. Stay with your friend."I said half asleep. I felt guilty because of the last time I got sleepy. He had to leave his friend and siblings. I wanted him to stay here as long as he need or wanted to.
A few minutes later – or longer; I'm not sure. I fell back asleep – I felt him getting up and moving. Then I felt him place me in the car. The purring of the car relaxed me.
The last thing I felt was me being placed on something soft. The only thing I could think of it being was his bed. I reached up and grabbed a pillow and fell in a deep sleep.
so how was it. are you guys totally happy i made him ok? i'm not a doctor so i don't know it the injuries are right or not. but anyways so, im out of school now. (SENIOR STATUS BABY! OH YEAH!), which means i could write more. (on 2nd ff, btw) 2x yay!
ok, so let me tell you guys why i was mad to change my rating.
ok, so some jerk (because i dont want to call him what i was thinking on here) posted on my reviews saying that if it had some lemons it should be rated M and not T and he told me to "get with the program" it was two reasons this made me mad. the 1st was because the person didn't even read the first chapter before he had something bad to say about it. the 2nd thing was that if the person would have read the chapter with the lemon in it, the person would know that if wasn't even that big. i mean it was like it was out of control graphic like some of these other FF's. you won't find the review b/c i removed it.
if you agree with me, tell me so i will feel better about changing it back. if not, i don't care about keeping it M. i just dont think it is M worthy, but watevs.
Anyways. keep R&R- ing. they make me smile. so i guess i see in the next if you have something to say, review or pm me.(but remember, conductive criticism is different from being a jerk. so dont be one.)
you guys rock (as always.) Luv & Rockets
