The sun streamed through an unfamiliar window. Where was I? The room was tiny and stark, like a prison or a hospital...or both.

"Edward?" I whispered fearfully. I could feel his cold arms around me but that was impossible. The last time I saw him he had left me in the woods promising never to return.

A clean break.

"A clean break...but...what's going on?

Edward licked my neck and to my astonishment cupped my naked breast in his hand. Why was I naked? I rolled over onto my back and felt his bare thigh bristle against mine.

"Edward?"

"Honey pot," he whispered and licked the circle of my nipple. Instantly the pink nub tightened and hardened.

"What?"

"It's another pussy word...I can't remember if I said it last night."

"Um - p-p-pussy word? What?"

"Bella, are you alright?"

"You said you didn't want me anymore...why are you...why are we naked?"

Too much. This was too much. I ground my fists into my eyes and bit back a scream.

"Bella, love...it's alright, you're alright."

"You don't want me anymore," I said, not as an accusation but a simple statement of fact.

"No Bella, I love you. The short time we were apart I spent every minute thinking about you." He sat up in bed so I did too, shielding my bare breasts with my hands. He peeled the sheet off the bed and wrapped it around me.

"Where are we?"

"A hospital...you've been unwell. My fault."

"I don't understand, Edward. You left me."

"I know," he groaned, his face contorting in acute agony. "I promise you, I suffer every minute because of my mistake." He bowed his head and kissed my shoulder.

"This is a dream, isn't it? There's no way we could be naked together...you said you wouldn't make love to me."

"We didn't make love, Bella."

"Then why are we naked?"

Edward was explaining the pussy game to me looking so goddamn serious. I nodded politely. Why was he trying to placate me? It was my game after all. Shit, I hope I didn't fuck him up for good. It was only suppose to be a bit of fun. What was with the self-flagellation?

"Calm down, Edward. Why are you freaking out?"

"Bella?"

"Shit, I haven't even been awake for five seconds yet and you're so fucking contrite. There's nothing to feel guilty about."I yawned and stretched. His confused expression was so precious...I felt rather affected by him, almost romantic.

"Come here Edward,"I cooed, reaching down to grab his ever-hard cock. He jumped, propelling himself backwards off the bed, creating a very matrixy-like effect.

"Cool. Can you do that again with me attached to your hips?"

"I'm calling Carlisle, he'll know what to do."

"Awesome. A threesome."

-({})-

"Bella?"

"huh?"

What the fuck?

"Bella, can you hear me?"

"Yes I can fucking hear you! Where the fuck am I?"

"South Lake, Critical Care."

A doctor was shining a pen light in my eye.

"Follow my finger," he instructed, moving his hand to my peripherals.

"Who are you?"

"Dr. Shapiro. Can you tell me your name?"

"Bella."

"Can you tell me your last name?"

"Swan...no, that's not right is it?"

"No."

"Flanagan."

"Yes."

"I want to see my kids."

-({})-

"I'm so sorry, Bella."

"Hold my hands, Edward, please, don't let go of me. I can't stay in one place. I keep disappearing."

"How long has she been like this, Edward?" Carlisle inquired clinically.

Edward dry sobbed as I clung to him. "Two hours. What's happening"

"She's oscillating between personalities but one has no memory of the other."

"Why?" Edward choked.

"Trauma...her mind is trying to protect itself. This is good son, a real breakthrough. She hasn't remembered herself in weeks."

"You don't love me, Edward," I reminded him. "You left me in the woods. Everyone is gone."

"No Bella."

"A clean break," I said and my world imploded.


Ahhh, poor Bella. Maybe the next leap will be her leap home (Quantum Leap Fans...Anyone?) Reviews are better than Pussy Words.
