After Edward left, I just sat in my room watching TV. I was trying really hard not to concentrate on what Edward had said. All of it. I had a feeling that he wasn't one of those person who let go easy. He was going to come around a lot and I had to think of ways to avoid him. But later, right now I was tired and my Mom was around somewhere in the hospital. I'll probably need Alice's help to come up with a plan to avoid Edward. Until then, I had to keep my mind off of him and watch TV. Plus, I had bigger things to worry about then a hot stalker guy. Someone knocked on my door and I looked up to see who it is.

"Hey, Bells."

"Dad. What are you doing here?" I asked as my father entered the room with a big bouquet of flowers.

"I thought we'll eat out today, but you can't leave the hospital so I thought I'll bring the food to you," he said, as two nurses wheeled a table into the room, with my Mom following behind.

"I brought you flowers, but looks like somebody beat me to it," Dad said as he eyed the roses Edward gave me.

"Looks like Bella has a secret admirer," Mom said smiling. I looked at my Dad and he looked mock upset.

"Oh, Daddy. You know you're the only man in my life." I got up and hugged him.

"I better be," he replied and hugged me back. We all laughed at that.

"C'mon you too, food's getting cold," Mom said and we all gathered around my hospital bed. Dad turned off the lights and lit the candles. As we were all enjoying a nice family dinner, I looked at my parents and realized what they must be going through.

My Mom, Renee Swan owns an antique store, which is quite popular. My father, Charles 'Charlie' Swan has his own business. We are not hurting for money, but then again money isn't everything. We were living a normal happy life and then all of a sudden 'poof!' went our happiness. I know they are worried, but they won't let me see it. They think if they are afraid, then I'll be afraid too. I'm their only child, so they have given me everything I ever wanted. And now they were worried sick because of me. It's not like I could do anything about it though. I don't want to be here anymore then they do.

"Your doctor said the reports have come in and she would like to discuss them with all of us," Mom said, sending a cautious glance my way.

"After we can go home?" I asked, paying close attention to what I was eating.

"Yes, tomorrow morning after the meeting with the doctor. We'll take you home, sweetie," Mom said, pushing my hair behind my ear. I'm sure she was trying to convince herself, more than me.

"After we go home, we can probably go on a little vacation. Maybe go to the beach house," Dad said. I knew we were trying to avoid the main topic. What's in the reports? I didn't want to know and neither did they. I liked being oblivious.

"Maybe you can bring Alice with you," Renee said and I snorted.

"Yeah, right. Alice is attached at the hip with Jasper. Where ever he goes, she goes and where ever she goes, he goes. They are inseparable," I replied laughing and my parents joined in. This is how I wanted it to be. Us together, laughing, and happy. Just not in a hospital. My eyes met my mother's and I realized how scared she really is. She's afraid she'll lose me.

"I love you guys," I said and hugged both my parents at the same time.

"Family hug," Charlie said, as he squeezed us. He was just as scared as my mom.

"'Kay, we have to go now. Let you get some rest. Tomorrow is a big day." Mom got up and turned on the lights. Then she cleared the table, while my father flipped through the TV.

"Good night, honey. I love you." Mom kissed my forehead and waited for my dad.

"'Night, baby. Be good, I don't want to hear you caused any trouble to the nurses," Dad said as he hugged me.

"'Kay, I'll think about. Now go. You two look beat," I laughed. As they left I looked after them, hoping they wouldn't leave me alone here. I don't like being in hospitals, they scare me. I am klutz and true to my nature I have been here a lot, but this time it was more serious than a head injury. I fell asleep thinking about my parents. Most of the time, I sleep dreamlessly but not tonight.

I dreamed that I was in a beautiful meadow. I could hear a river somewhere nearby and I could see a beautiful house. I looked around and realized that I wasn't alone. There was someone there with me, a guy. It was him. It was Edward Cullen.

"What, are you stalking me in my dreams too?" I asked smiling a little. I had loved the flowers he had gotten for me.

"Bella..." He said in a grim voice and it made my heart clench. He came over to where I was standing and lifted his hand to lightly brush it along my jaw.

"Edward, what is it? What's wrong?" I was scared because Edward looked like he was in a lot of pain.

"I'm so sorry, Bella. I'm so sorry," he replied and fell to his knees, his head in his hands.

"Sorry for what? Edward what is it?" I was trying to pry his hands off his face. By now I was panicking and my heart was beating so fast I'm sure he could hear it.

"Sorry I can't save you Bella." He looked up and my heart stopped. There was so much pain in his eyes. I felt wetness on my cheeks and realized I was crying. I wanted to ask him what is it he can't save me from, but before I could, he got up and left me all alone. The meadow that was so beautiful once, started to feel lonely to me. I wanted to get out of there but I didn't know where it was or how to get out of here. I started running, trying to find my way out of the meadow, until I realized that I was just running in circles. There was no way out of here. I was stuck.

I opened my eyes to the sun streaming in through the window. I was no longer in the meadow, but in the hospital room. I looked around and got up to shut the drapes. It was still early in the morning and I wanted to sleep. But I was scared to close my eyes. Scared that I will dream that dreadful dream again. What was it that had Edward so scared? Why was he trying to save? What was he trying to save me from? Whenever I had weird dreams Mom told me that dreams were the minds way of telling us something. Well, what was my mind telling me? That Edward, my stalker, is really trying to save me? But from what? I shook my head and decided to rid myself of the hospital gown I was wearing.

By the time I was done getting ready, it was time for my meeting with my doctor. My parents will be here any minute. I decided to kill time by watching TV. I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew my Mom was lightly shaking me.

"Hey, honey. G' morning," she said, brushing my hair away from my face.

"G' morning. What time is it?" I asked in a groggy voice. I cleared my throat and stretched.

"It's time for us to go see Dr. Snow. Your Dad is already there, I came here to get you, but you were sleeping," she replied, as we walked out my room.

"Mhm." Suddenly, I didn't feel like leaving my room. My heart was beating so fast, I was afraid I might have a heart attack. There was a ringing in my ears and all I wanted to do was run from the hospital and never look back.

"Bella, are you listening to me?" Mom shook my hand.

"I'm sorry. I was just thinking. What were you saying?" I asked dazed.

"I asked how did you sleep last night. I know you were upset when Dr. Snow said she was going to keep you here for observation." Mom was looking at me with concerned blue eyes. Well, I could tell her about the dream, but then I'd have to tell her about Edward. Everything about Edward, from his stalking to his declaration of marriage.

"Good, as long as I get to go home today." I raised my eyebrows questioningly.

"We'll see," Mom said laughing and we entered the doctor's office.

"Good Morning, Bella. How are you feeling today?" Dr. Snow asked in that all's-well voice doctor's use when all's not well.

"I'm good," I said politely. In my mind I thought, you're about to tell me something is terribly wrong with me, how do you expect me to feel.

"Well, that's good," Dr. Snow said and got up from her chair to check my x-rays.

"So, what's the verdict?" I asked, as I sat down between my parents.

"Well, Bella, Mr. and Mrs. Swan, I'm not going to lie to you and I'm not going to give you false hope," Dr. Snow said as she looked at my x-rays.

"What do you mean?" Charlie asked, holding my hand.

"Is something wrong with Bella's x-rays?" Mom asked, panicked. She was squeezing the life out of my other hand.

"Yes. Bella has brain tumour," Dr. Snow replied grimly.

My parents were shocked. I laughed. I mean, I actually laughed. The woman just told me I had brain tumour and all I can do is laugh. My parents looked at me like I was going crazy.

"What? Don't tell me you actually believe her? I mean, I can't have it again," I said to my parents and looked at Dr. Snow. The expression on her face told me that I was very wrong.

"Can I?" I asked, my eyes wide with fear.

"Unfortunately, yes," she replied in that same grim voice and came to sit back in her chair.

"But, I had it when I was ten. And the doctor's said it can't come back. I got radiation and chemo," I said in a shocked voice.

"Bella, the doctor's said they were 90% sure it won't come back." She was looking at me with pity in her eyes.

"Oh, 'cause you know when you're ten years old and have cancer, you actually want know that the doctor's think it can come back," I replied sarcastically.

"Well last time, she got radiation and chemo and it went away. She can have it again, can't she?" Charlie asked. I looked at my Mom and saw that she was crying. Why was she crying? It's not like I was dead.

"There is an option," Dr. Snow said.

"What is it? We'll do anything," Mom asked in a choked voice.

"Bella can't have radiation or chemo. Not right now anyways. She has to have surgery. But the tumour is 5.7mm and we can only perform surgery on 5.5mm tumour," she replied calmly. How can she be calm? She was talking about cutting my head open.

"So what do you suggest?" Dad asked. Why were they talking about me like I wasn't even here?

"I suggest Bella get gamma radiation. It will shrink the tumour to a reasonable size and then we'll be able to operate," Dr. Snow said in that same calm voice.

"Would you guys stop talking about me like I'm not here? It's my head. My life. Don't I get to make decisions?" I asked, outraged.

"Bella, honey. I thought you would want this," Dad said in a calm voice, rubbing my hand.

"Of course, I do," I replied, like he crazy. I was outraged that before then, I didn't know there was something growing inside my brain. Was that even possible?

"Well the radiation can start as soon as next week, if you guys want. I will have to keep Bella here one more night and she can go home tomorrow morning," Dr. Snow replied and got up.

"Thank you," My parents said, as they shook her hand. Thank you? What are they thanking her for? The woman just said the very thing we were all fearing. Even as I was thinking this, all I wanted to do was cry. We walked out of Dr. Snow's office and my parents said they had to leave. Mom offered to take me to my room, but I told her no. I walked back to my room, all the while thinking. Not about what Dr. Snow had said, but about the dream I had. Edward had said he couldn't save me. Maybe my mind was trying to tell me what I was fearing.

When I started having the blackouts, I knew something was wrong. That's the reason I didn't tell anyone. I was afraid of the conclusion they'd come up with. That I had brain tumour again. I was trying really hard not to cry. I tried really hard not to think of my mother's face when Dr. Snow had said those dreadful words. I tried not to think that I might not go to college. Might never have a happy life. I opened my door to go into my room. I wanted to just lie down and not think but when I saw who was waiting there for me, I fell apart. Edward got up from the bed he was sitting on and came to hug me. He took me to the bed and sat with me. In that moment, I had a sudden realization. I realized that Edward will be by my side no matter what. I can always count on him. And until last night I was coming up with ideas to avoid him.
