Ch 2
(EPOV)
I just hope I wasn't too late…
...
I approached Bella's house. When I got to the door I knocked once but there was no answer. I knocked again but there was still no answer. So, I followed my instincts and opened the door.
Right as it cracked open a sweetest aroma attacked my nose. It was the best thing I've ever smelled but it was very familiar. Opening the door wider I saw my precious Bella on the floor, at the bottom of the staircase mangled and bleeding, heavily bleeding.
I held my breath to get better control of myself.
Running to her as fast as I could go I checked for a heart beet. It was faint but it was there.
"Bella! Can you hear me?" I asked panicked as I picked her up in my arms. She didn't answer me. "Hold on Bella. I'm taking you to Carlisle." Then I ran out the door with her, into the wet forest.
…
Forty minutes later…
…
Carlisle got her hooked up to an IV and a breathing machine. My angel was quickly changed into one of those thin hospital gowns and she was laying lifeless on one of the beds in a private room. She had a large gash that was stitched back together on her head. She also had many bruises that blanketed her body.
But her heart was still beating.
Then Carlisle walked into the room preparing to tell me the damage.
"Edward," he asked, "Bella's left arm is shattered; she has three broken ribs, a fractured ankle, and slight internal bleeding. I sowed her up the best I could."
"Will she be ok?" I said; my voice sounding a bit scratchy.
"She is in a coma that can last as long as it takes her to heal; if she ever does wake up. There is a slight chance her body is not strong enough to keep its own heart beating. But, Edward, there is an alternative answer if that happens." Then he said in a lower tone of voice, "Do you think you could change her if it comes down to it?"
I was speechless. I honestly don't know if I would have it in me to do that to her. He must have taken my silence as an answer.
I understand, I heard him think. "I know it will be hard but it's your choice Edward. No one else could make that decision for you."
I nodded.
Carlisle walked back to Bella and checked her wiring. Turning with a sigh he spoke to me again. "Everything looks how it should and I have some other patients to attend to right now." Before he left he placed his hand on my shoulder and whispered, "I'm sure she'll be just fine. She lived through some tuff things already and I doubt one more would kill her."
I silently nodded again keeping my eyes on Bella's face, waiting for a change.
"You should call Charlie." With that Carlisle left the room.
Opening up my phone I called Charlie.
…
Twenty minutes later…
…
"Where is she?!" I heard a voice call from the hall way. It was Charlie. A nurse pointed to a room.
He entered the room and hurried to his daughter's side. "What happened?" he asked.
"She fell down the stairs at your house. I guess she was in a hurry and tripped. When I got to your house to pick her up for school I found her at the bottom the staircase."
He scratched his head for a little bit. He had many jumbled thoughts that were hard to un-jumble. Then he stuck with one thought. "I thought you were on a hunting trip with your family."
"We got back early and I wanted to surprise her." I said simply.
He didn't question it any further and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
I told him what Carlisle recently told me, minus the 'emergency turn Bella into a vampire' part. Taking a seat on the other side of Bella Charlie took her only free hand. He sat there, looking at her face, and gently messaging her hand. His thoughts were racing again.
What if she never wakes up?
How many times can a person fall down a flight of stairs in one life time?
I should call Renee.
What will Bella say when she first wakes up?
I wouldn't be able to live if she dies.
I wander what Edward's thinking right now.
Am I hurting her hand but petting it?
Look at that big gash on her head.
Wow, she looks like her mother.
Please wake up baby…
And his thoughts went on like that for hours until he had to leave to get some sleep for work tomorrow. He promised his return after work and after kissing Bella's hand he left; leaving me alone with my broken angel.
Nurses came in and out checking on Bella's bandages and tubing. Some of them stayed with their work ignoring me but some others had to think some things that I could have gone an eternity without hearing.
…
Three days later…
…
I could have sworn I saw Bella's finger twitch. Watching the same finger for the rest of the day I pulled myself back into my thoughts.
Charlie still visits every day after work and Renee and Phil will be on a flight to Washington next week. As for me, I haven't moved from my spot the whole time I've been here.
Alice came and tried to convince me to at least attend school for a few days but I silently refused. I wouldn't leave her. My sister decided to bring me my make up work so I didn't fall too much behind. Like I could.
Please Bella… Wake up Sweetheart…
