The Twilight saga and all of its characters belong to the wonderful Stephanie Meyer

When I woke, I could hardly move, so I figured that I had been out for a while. I opened my eyes and realized that I was in the hospital. This was not good.. I wondered if everything was a dream. Yes, that had to be it! I was dreaming, I had somehow got knocked out during the fight with the newborns and everyone was fine. They had to be because I was alive, here at the hospital. I sighed as I started to taking the blood pressure cuff off of my arm. AH, the soreness of my body washed over me as I tried to sit up, I plopped back down.. I had an IV in my hand, maybe it was worse than I thought. I wonder where everyone was. I hit my nurse call button, as soon as I did Carlisle was entering the room with my father in persuit. He was wearing a suit. Very rare for my father, weird.

"Bella, how are you feeling?" Carlisle asked as he stuck a thermometer in my ear.

"Um, fine, sore, and a little confused." I asked, "Where's Edward?"

"Uh,, he went back to the house to get changed, he will be back soon." Carlisle paused, must mean he is out hunting. Hmm, this really was getting weird.

"Dad, where are you going all dressed up?" I asked trying to get some answers.

"Bells, you don't remember? He asked then began mumbling "oh boy, this is not going to be good."

I looked at him confused as my worries started to sink in. What had happened? Was everyone okay? Did everyone survive? Where was Edward, really? Where was Alice? And Emmett and Ros…. And then everything clicked.

"Jake…" I whispered.

I looked up at my dad who suddenly had tears running down his cheeks, something that I had never seen before. Carlisle patted him on the back. Before coming over to check on me to make sure I wasn't going back out. I didn't think that I was going to black out again, but I couldn't be sure. Jake was gone. He was never coming back. Poor Billy. The poor pack. This is all my fault. If I would have just gave myself to Victoria when I found out that I was what she wanted then everything would be fine. And my best friend would still be alive. It might as well been as if I had killed him. Before I could get any deeper in my misery the phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked at Carlisle who slowly answered the phone.

"Hello?" he said "yes, she is. Hold on, I will let you speak with her." He handed me the phone I put the receiver up to my ear, halfway expecting it to be Jacob laughing saying 'gotcha!'

I started off with 'Yes?"

"Bella." the musical voice sighed with relief.

"Edward." I said back with just as much relief.

"How are you love?"

"Where are you?" I said, not bothering to answer his question.

"I am on my way back there, I got in my car as soon as Alice told me that you were about to wake up." ah, Alice. I suddenly remembered her launching herself at Rosalie.

"okay"

"I will be there in just a few minutes, I love you s……." he didn't get to finish due to me hanging up the telephone.

What was I supposed to think? What did I do? I knew they shouldn't have been involved but I let everyone talk me into it. It was stupid, I was stupid. It was all my fault that he was dead. Thinking the word brought me back into reality. I stared up at my dad just before he started to speak.

"Bells, baby, I really have to get going, I will be back tonight." He came over and kissed me on the forehead.

"Where are you going ,Dad?" I asked surprised that he would actually leave me in the hospital.

"The funeral." he said with sadness in his voice.

"oh" that was all I could get out at the time.

He glanced over at me, then nodded to Carlisle and then was gone.

I tried to sit up again, and in a split second Carlisle was helping me. Once I was up, I started with questions.

"What happened to him?" I started off with the easiest one.

Carlisle sat at the end of my hospital bed and sighed.

"Don't you think we might need to wait for Edward to get here so that you have more moral support?"

Just then, my luck, in walked Edward. Well I don't know if walk is the term I should use, he ran at the

fastest rate he could to still look human. He grabbed me gently and hugged me close then pulled back to

look in my eyes and suddenly kissed me with a great passion, I was unresponsive. He suddenly stopped and

backed away to look at my face.

"Bella, sweetheart, what's wrong?"

R&R plz. (:
