AN: THANK YOU everyone who reviewed last chapter.
~Chapter 11~
Carlisle POV- July 4, 2010
A scream echoed through the house causing me to jump out of my chair, I was out the door and up the stairs before I even know what I was doing. I stopped dead in my tracks as I opened Edwards's door, his screams grew louder the closer as the door opened more. I scanned the room for him, he wasn't in his bed and I was worried something was truly wrong. He was curled up in a corner of his room, clutching a pillow as if it was the only thing keeping him here. His eyes were closed and I was almost certain he was having a nightmare.
The sight of my son curled up like that screaming was heart wrenching, he looked so fragile, so beaten and scared, so young. I wanted so badly to be able to hold him, tell my son that I was sorry. I wanted to take all his pain away.
"Edward?" I called out trying to wake him but not startle him, as I stepped towards him, into the room. He didn't reply. "Edward son, please wake up. Its over it's just a nightmare." By now I was only about a foot from him, slowly and gently I reached out and shook him. "Edward, please wake up."
His body went rigid and I knew he was awake. His eyes slowly opened. He looked like he did when he first came to the hospital. He was frightened, his breathing coming in quick shallow breaths. I stepped back hoping that would help him clam. Once he seemed somewhat calm I asked him what was wrong.
Edward POV-
I was laying on the floor to my room, I was crammed into a corner, clutching a pillow to me. I could feel my hair sticking to my forehead from sweat. I blinked at Carlisle; I knew I had done something wrong. I didn't want to be punished; I wanted to be a good boy. I wanted to be loved. I could see Esme, Emmett, and Alice in my doorway all looking at me. I didn't understand their expressions, they didn't look too mad, but I knew better. "What happened?" Carlisle asked gently. "I'm sorry sir…" I mumbled. "I didn't mean to be bad." I thought I saw a tear roll down his cheek but I wasn't sure as my own tears started to flow.
"Edward son, you are not bad you are a wonderful young man." His voice was shaking as he spoke to me. "Do you remember what happened? Do you know why you are on the floor?"
"The bed… it's um, too much….." I couldn't get the words out. How was I supposed to tell them that the bed looked so much like the one that stared in all my nightmares?
"Oh dear, it's the bed frame isn't it?" Esme said coming closer into the room. I didn't say anything, just nodded as I started to shake.
The pone ringing caused me to jump and back into the corner more, if that was possible. "Hello?" Emmett's voice said as he answered the phone. "Hold on." He said brining the phone away from his ear. "Dad it's for you, it's the hospital and they say that it's an emergency." Carlisle looked at me as if he didn't want to leave; he whispered I'm sorry before getting off the floor and walking towards Emmett and taking the phone from him, stepping out the door as he did so. I took that time to sit up putting my back against the wall, hugging my knees to myself.
"That was the hospital there was a huge pile up on the freeway. They need every available hand." Carlisle said as he kissed Esme. "Edward well fix you bed when I get home, sorry son I have to go." He stopped still looking at me. "Go… I'll be… I'll be ok." I said noticing everyone looking at me.
Everyone left and I was alone. When I went to stand I realized just how weak my legs were and with a soft yelp I fell back onto the floor shaking.
A knock on my door made me look up as Emmett stepped into the room. "If you want I can ask my friend Jasper to come and help me take down the bed frame, he helped me put it up." I started to shake. He wanted to invite a stranger over here, "you won't even have to see him. He'll just come in and help then he'll leave." Biting my bottom lip I nodded.
~Time Pass~
We decided that Jasper would come over in the afternoon after lunch. I was surprised at how certain Emmett seemed at saying Jasper wouldn't have other plans and would be free to help. I was now sitting in the room with the piano, the door was closed and I was trying to keep my breathing under control as I heard a knock on the door.
"Jazzy!" I could hear Emmett yell as the front door opened.
"Em man!" the other said, his voice was softer, almost musical to me. I was at the door to my sanctuary cracking it open before I even knew what I was doing. All I could see was Emmett's back as he ran up the stairs. The other man Jasper also had his back to me.
I could see beautiful curly blond hair; he was lean but not too skinny. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs as if he knew I was looking at him. Slowly his head turned around and I saw the most beautiful blue eyes, for a moment it looked as if he would say anything. "Jasper, come on." Emmett's yell from upstairs caused him to turn from me and run up the stairs two at a time. I quickly closed the door and walked back over to the piano.
I let my fingers run over the keys as time slowly passed. It was almost an hour before I heard Emmett and Jasper come down the stairs and a part of me wanted to open the door and see him again but I couldn't. I was too afraid for him to see me, he was beautiful and me, I was ruined and ugly.
"He's gone Edward, you can come out now." Emmett said knocking on the door.
It was four and by this time I was exhausted we had all been up since before six in the morning and I think all of us were tiered. I thanked Emmett and made my way out of the piano room and up the stairs, clutching my crutches tightly praying that I wouldn't fall as pain shot through my body. That's when I realized that I hadn't taken any of my pain medication. Making it to my bathroom I swallowed two then looking at the prescription I shrugged and took two more, figuring I would be fine since I hadn't taken them earlier. I hobbled to my room and looked in. My bed looked good without the frame and I was thankful as I crawled into it. I grabbed the bottle of my sleep medicine and opened it popping two of them. Waiting for them to start to work.
AN: I hope you all enjoy it. Next chapter may be up tomorrow if I get any good reviews and it may even have some of Jaspers POV. Does anyone want to read Jaspers POV?
