Chapter 21

Awake

Edward's pov:

It's been one week since Bella was shot; it's been one week since she last opened her eyes, and it's been one week since I last left her side. Carlisle had hidden himself in his office only resurfacing to attend Thomas's funeral. All his thoughts are blaming himself and avoiding the eyes of the ones he loves. I wish I could find the words to comfort him, but he would not listen at this moment in time. Bella's La Push friends have visited many times almost resulting in a war a few times. Jacob Black is someone I could not dream of tolerating. His thoughts of Bella are much than a friend should think. There is a mind of a wolf that I can sit and listen to, Seth Clearwater. He is young and has a pure mind, he cares not about who's what species people are, but cares about everyone's welfare. He seems to get on great with Emmet and Jasper as well, much to the wolves annoyance. I wish I could see her mind. Alice still can't see her clearly and she thinks it's because of the wolves, every time Bella's future disappears it's because the wolves are there. Carlisle would of course debate this theory, but he's still unable to get over his guilt, he truly believes he almost killed his own daughter; Esme is breaking her heart over both her husband and little girl. Alice has busied herself with shopping for welcome home presents for Bella. Rose has been decorating her bedroom and Emmet has created a baseball caught in our garden so as he says "The human can play" Jasper is trying hard to tie down every ones emotions. I will stay here despite everyone's pleas to hunt; my eyes are almost coal coloured and with Bella's blood scent still everywhere, I'm very dangerous. Occasionally Bella will let out a moan and sometimes mumbles words but she still hasn't woken up. Everyone prays she will soon.

Bella's pov:

I'm standing in a bright space and I'm looking down at this sparkling white gown that's draped down my body, to my surprise I'm whole, I'm not bleeding like I remember. The light begins to dim and I see that I'm in mine and Edward's meadow. Edwards standing a little in front of me wearing a tux with a red rose attached to his pocket.
"Who's getting married?" I asked the prince.

"We just did, Mrs. Bella Cullen" His smiled that smile, my smile and I took his hand. I'm confused. Wasn't I just in the hospital dying? Now I'm in my happy place with my Edward. He wasn't my Edward was he anymore? I ran away, I left him like so many times before in my dreams he left me, I left before he could. If he was going to leave me why is he here now? He doesn't want me to join him in eternity but I'm married to him? What about Jacob? Was he in my past dreams saving me or stopping me? Edward was still holding my hand and pulling me towards the trees ahead. He put his hands over my eyes and I was blind. Why was he doing this?

"Open your eyes Bella!" He sang into my ear.

I did what I was told to see a line of wolves opposite a line of my family, what? I could also see an approaching crowd. I'm still confused. Am I dreaming?

"Please open your eyes Bella" The angel was begging me now. He sounded so sad but I didn't understand him.

"My eyes are open" I turned around to see him gone! Where's he gone? He's left me again, this must be a dream.

"Open your eyes Bella!" the wind whispered to me in his voice. He was still here.

"Edward" I screamed and I open my already opened eyes to see reality once more.

Edward's arms were around me holding me close to his stone chest; my mother was holding my other hand smiling so joyfully at me. Carlisle burst into the room and grabbed me from Edward gripping me in a bone crushing hug. I laughed what had I missed?

"Oh Bella, thank god you're awake!" My father was still holding me and chanting thank you to no one. My sisters and brothers rushed in the room and were calling my name. How long had I been sleep? My Back still hurt intensely but I was so pleased that my family were here for me. My happiness was cut short by my insanely fast memory. This union will not last; I left to protect them and it's this reason why I would leave again. I slumped back down to the bed and stared at the 7 pairs of golden eyes smiling at me. I smiled back and that was it for Alice she almost threw Edward out the window and was jumping next to me.

"Oh Bella! I can't wait for you to get home, you have to see what I got you, and what Rose did to your room" I stared at my sister hurting more now, surely they must've realized I would not be moving back.

"Alice, I'm not moving back home" I whispered at her slightly scared.

"What?" All seven of them cried. This was going to harder than the first time.

"But Bella?" Alice questioned me.

"The reasons I went are still there, I wont put any of you in danger" I could see their faces drop so I put my head to my pillow and closed my eyes.

I have been in hospital for a total of 17 days. I was shot in my back, narrowly missing my spine but damaging one of my kidneys. I lost a lot of blood and was in a coma for a week solid. My family stayed with me after I woke up, everyone but Edward (he left the day I woke up and didn't come back), Emmet said he went away for a while. Jacob and Billy were on their way to pick me up and Jasper, Rose and Emmet said goodbye and went home. Alice and Mom stayed with me, Dad was working so he kept poking his head in. I was pretty sure that I wasn't going to be as much of stranger as I had been to family in the past few months and this gave me a sense of relief. I wish that Edward was here, despite my pain I needed him.

Alice's pov:

Bella left with Billy and Jacob 5 minutes ago although I was upset she wouldn't be coming home, I managed to give her my presents and she accepted them willingly! Esme and I were saying goodbye to Carlisle, who had drastically changed since Bella woke up and started acting like the man we all know and love. No help from Jasper either. Esme was still in the office when a vision hit me I squealed so excitingly that I drew so much attention to myself. Carlisle and Esme ran out to me.

"What is it Alice?" Carlisle asked me.

"Edwards coming home and he's not alone" I was still too excited to calm myself down.

Home at last, still Bella's newly decorated room would be no use to her now.

WHAT YOU THINK?? PLEASE REVIEW??
