POV: Edward

Saving my angel

EPOV

The ride home was about 2 hours long, in the whole ride my angel was sleeping silently in my lap. She was badly injured, but there were no bleeding wounds, for that I was very grateful. She did not wake or stirred, which I thought was very unusual, so since one of the doctors was riding in the front I taped the window and asked her. She said it was because of the meds they had given her so that she would not experience any pain until she does not get any proper medication. I thanked her and closed the window. The ride was peaceful, after sometime I fell asleep while sitting.

When we reached home one of the guards woke me up. I smiled as I looked down at the face of my angel, but it soon changed into anger when I noticed some new bruises forming. How can someone be so cruel to such an angel? I thought. Gently I carried her in my arms to the examination room and placed her on the makeshift bad. After that the doctor shooed me off saying that I need to wait outside while they examine her. I waited impatiently outside as Carmen examined her. Carmen was our aunt cum personal doctor. When Carlisle is not around, matters automatically get transferred into her hands. Today, since her son was not well she could not come to our concert, but the medical team must have informed her about my angel, so when we reached home she was standing prepared. I was very pleased to know that all the doctors around her were females, I don't want any of the males to touch her even though it is for examination sake. During my wait I received a call from Emmett and Jasper telling me that they have reached New York safely. Mom and dad wanted to talk to me, but just then Carmen exited the room so I quickly hung up saying that I will explain it all later. She was unreadable, which made my stomach twist.

"What is it Carmen?" I asked before she could say anything. She took a long breath and started speaking.

"She is in a miserable condition. Her ribs are broken, there are bruises in various places along with signs of strangling, her skull has cracks, blood clots and internal bleeding. I am surprised that she is still alive."

"What do you mean by you are surprised that she is still alive?" I snapped, scared.

"Edward, seeing her condition, not many people are able to survive like this for so long. She is very weak. The reason for her collation was not just her weakness but also the state she is in." she explained very calmly.

"When will she wake up?" I asked a bit eagerly. Right now I just want to ask her who did this to her and kill that bastard. Carmen seemed hesitant about something. "What is it?" Now I was full on panicked.

"Well, seeing her condition, we have put her into a medically induced coma for two days, so that her body can recover enough that the life threat be removed." She explained in a calm voice but I can hear worry underneath. I stood there silently letting the words sink in.

"What happens after two days?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

"Well, we'll have to see." I shot her a puzzled look. "We have out her on coma for two days, which is not a critical but medical one. So after two days we'll just have to wait and watch until she wakes up." She explained. I looked over her to see my angel's face. She was lying there, looking at peace. I smiled at this. "Edward...?" Carmen started.

"Yeah," I answered as I snapped my gaze at her.

"I was wondering….." She again trailed off, I nodded encouraging her to speak ahead. "How do you know her? I mean I have never met her before?" she rushed.

"I have met her today only." I said looking back at her. When Carmen went silent for a moment I looked at her, she looked like she was trying to process what I said. I chuckled at her expression and explained further. "We were exiting and she bumped into me. When the medical team looked at her they told me that she was serious as I insisted that she be bought here instead of a hospital." Realization drawn on her face as I finished my story.

"Alright, I believe you. I will also inform Carlisle about it, just take care of her. Whatever it is, no matter what time it is, call me and I will be here as soon as possible. Alright?" she asked with a small smile. I smiled at her compassion.

"Don't worry about it, I'll not hesitate to call you." I said in a joking yet serious voice. "Thank you." I said after a moment.

"No Edward, there is no need to thank me." She said softly, but there was something in her eyes that was not right. I decided to ignore it at the moment. It was getting harder every moment to stand here when I know my angel is lying right in front of me. Also, I have no idea of what I will do if I come to know about any other damages done to her. The fury in me is very evident right now, I'll just end up doing something I'll regret later so I let it go, for the time being. She simply nodded and went inside to check on her vitals once more, this time I followed her in and pulled a chair up to her on her bed side and sat silently on it as Carmen finished her work.

"Alright, I have checked it all. If anything then you…" I cut her off, although it hurt me to see that she did not trust me with her. I will do everything in order to keep her safe, even if it costs my life.

"Then I'll call you irrespective of the time. I got it." I smiled. She nodded and exited. I got up and closed the door behind her and then went back to my original place. I glanced up at the face of my angel, she was looking so much better now. I smiled as I brushed my hand along her jaw line. Her skin was soo smooth, like cream. Unable to stop myself I got up and brushed my lips briefly to hers. They were so soft, so warm, that suddenly my wait for her to wake up became even more difficult. Right now I just want to wake her up and kiss her senseless. I had my lips on her for a brief moment but suddenly there was a fast beeping noise. From the corner of my eye I noticed that it was the heart monitor and it showed that her heartbeat increased. I got worried and steped away ready to call Carmen, but then it slowed. I had a goofy grin as I discovered that it was because of me. If I have this kind of effect on her while she is asleep I wonder how it will be when she is awake. I was thinking when a yawn escaped my mouth. I had a tiring day and did not get any rest later either so right now I just wanted to sleep but I had no intention of leaving her so I pulled the chair on the bedside and laid my head besides hers. I was just about to drift into sleep when my phone buzzed. I groaned and decided to ignore it, but then when it rang one more time I picked it up.

"Yo Bro!" Emmett boomed from the other end.

"What Emmett?" I asked getting more and more irritated by every second.

" Can I not just call to check on my little bro." He faked hurt in his voice, I could almost see him clutching his heart with a fake hurt expression on his face. I chuckled at the thought.

"What do you want Emmett?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

"You know me too well."

"Of course I do, now get to the point." I asked bluntly as a yawn was threatening to escape my mouth.

"Alright, can I borrow Ruth?" he asked in a pleading voice. Ruth was the name of my guitar. She was my very first guitar and I was so excited that I decided to name it.

"No Emmett." My voice was sleepy yet stern.

"Please?" he winned.

"If I say yes will you stop bothering me?"

"Sure, will do." He had hope in his voice. I sighed.

"Alright you may, but handle her with care."

"Alright!" he yelled and then was off the phone, I thought he hung up but a moment later my mother's worried voice came.

"Edward?"

"Yeah mom?"

"Oh honey! How are you doing?" worry was clear in her voice.

"I am fine mom."

"What are you doing right now?" she asked clearly having caught the grogginess in my voice. But that was not what I was doing. I looked at my angel and spoke.

"Saving my angel."

Alright, now Bella's in medically induced coma and Edward's falling for her, hard, I must say.

Most probably Bella will wake up in the next chapter, I don't have it planned out yet but she will wake up in one of the next two chapters so look out for it.

Again, review and tell me how am I going so far.

Much Love,

Bella
