39hours. It had been 39hours since I got into this cramped bed with my Bella. 39hours since I had seen my angels beautiful eyes. She would scream out every now and then, or whimper my name. It hurt so much to see her like this, I just wanted to see her eyes.
"Do you think she'll wake up soon? I mean she should be awake by now right?" Rosalie asked Carlisle franticly.
"Rosalie. She's been through a horrific trauma. Her mind needs to rest. She needs time to heal. She'll come around when she's ready." Carlisle told her reassuringly.
"Has Edward said anything yet?" He asked her. Of course I haven't said anything. My angel couldn't so neither could I.
"Not a single word." Rosie sighed. "He just lies there with her refusing to eat, speak or move." She told Carlisle. What did they expect? My angel is in pain. She's unconscious because of all the pain. I had to protect her.
"I know he refuses to move, I had a few of the nurses complain to me about it. I'm not going to make him move though. He's connected to Bella in a strange way. It seems that he wont, wake up you could say, until she does. I just hope that's soon." Carlisle sighed. That was true. I refused to 'wake up' until Bella does. Without Bella there is no point. She is my life. I can't let go.
I moved closer to my Bella, trying not to hurt her, I just needed to be closer. I looked up at her beautiful face, she looked so peaceful. I brushed a bit of stray hair out of her face and ever so gently kissed her forehead, her cheeks, her lips even softer, then her hand. I didn't realize I was crying but the sobs shook my body and Bella's as I felt my heart get ripped from my chest. I just needed to see her eyes.
"Bella." I barely whispered quietly. "Bella, I love you. Please wake up. I need to see your eyes. Bella, please." I sobbed quietly.
"Son." Carlisle said placing a hand on my shoulder, I just shrugged it off and shook my head saying no. I reached my arm across Bella's fragile body and clung to her, keeping her close closing my eyes.
2 days later…
I was dreaming of my Bella. How she had looked that day in the meadow. She was so beautiful. I was just holding her in my arms, looking into those eyes when I heard someone yell out, waking me up.
"Dr Carlisle."
"What. What is it?" He asked franticly.
"Her heart rate and brainwaves are signalling she's coming around." The nurse said him with hope. My eyes snapped open but hers were still closed.
"Bella. Bella can you hear me?" Carlisle asked her flashing his torch across her eyes to get a response, but there was none. "No. She's not responding. It must be a false alarm." Carlisle said sounding tortured. I collapsed back down next to Bella, my heart breaking again.
"Please, we can't handle any false hope, especially my son." I heard Carlisle telling the nurse. With that said they left the room, leaving me alone with my sleeping angel.
"Bella." I sighed tightening my hold on her. I closed my eyes for a second and felt her body move. I tensed and looked up at her face. "Bella?" I said with hope that she was waking up finally.
Very slowly, Bella opened her eyes and gazed around warily. She turned her head slightly and looked straight at me. She was awake. Her eyes looking into mine.
"Bella. Oh Bella. Bella. Bella." I kept repeating her name over and over, gently caressing her face. "CARLISLE!" I shouted out before returning my attention to my angel. "Bella. My angel. Bella. I love you. Bella." I kept saying.
She slowly lifted her small delicate hand up to my face and held it there against my left cheek. "Edward.." She breathed my name. She said my name "Edward.. I.." She struggled to say.
"Shh Bella it's alright. Everything's alright. You're safe. I'm here." I chanted.
At that moment Carlisle and the nurse walk into the room, but I only had eyes for Bella. "Did you hear my son call out.." Carlisle started to say then saw Bella awake. "Bella. Oh thank god she's awake." He said to himself. "Go get any available nurses and get them in here now." He told the nurse before addressing Bella. "Bella you're awake."
She didn't say anything, she just kept staring into my eyes. I stared straight back into hers never wanting to look away. We both just laid there not bothering about the others in the room, as we just stared into one another's eyes, gently caressing each others faces.
"Bella are you able to speak?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes she's able to speak she said my name before." I snapped at my father. This was the first I had spoken to him in days but I was focused solely on Bella.
"Edward." Bella said quietly. I turned my attention back to Bella as we continued to caress each others face.
"Shh. Bella it's ok. Angel just rest." I said softly looking into her eyes.
"Though I agree with you Edward I need to ask her a few questions first." Carlisle said gently.
"Well can't it wait?" I snapped at him again.
"Edward." Bella said her voice slightly stronger now. "I'm fine. I'll answer the questions for your father." She told me warily.
"Alright, Bella. Well you just did one for me. You can form sentences clearly so that's a good sign." Carlisle said encouragingly. "Now, is there any pain?" he asked.
"Not really. My head hurts a little and my body aches, but there's no real pain, just some discomfort." She murmured and I was relieved that she wasn't in much physical pain but by looking in her eyes I could see how much pain she was suffering emotionally.
"That's a good sign. A very good sign." He said reassuringly. "How much do you remember?" He asked carefully. This was what I was terrified about. I stiffened but relaxed slightly when I felt Bella squeeze my hand gently.
"I remember all of it. I remember Tyler, James and then going into shock. The last thing I remember is Edward and Rosie in the back of the ambulance with me. Edward was holding me, he told me he loved me." She told us.
I relaxed a little that she had no memory loss at least. "That's when she lost consciousness too." I told Carlisle and he smiled.
"This is very, very good Bella. You are completely aware of what happened, there's no memory loss. And you said there's no pain." Carlisle said smiling at both of us. I wasn't expecting Bella to snap at what he said.
"I didn't say there wasn't any pain. I just said there wasn't any physical pain." She snapped at Carlisle. "If you think for a second I'm ok emotionally then you've got no idea." She told him sternly. She had never snapped at Carlisle before. Something was wrong I could tell.
"Carlisle, I appreciate this, but Bella's answered your questions, I think it's better if you laid off her now." I told Carlisle not intending my words to come out so sternly.
"Of course son, I'm sorry Bella. I'll leave you two alone. Buzz for me if you need anything." He said with a sad look in his eyes and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"I didn't mean to snap at him. I don't know what came over me." Bella muttered, relaxing into my chest.
"I know angel. I didn't mean to either. He understands though. We're both stressed and scared, I think. We can apologise to him when this is all over ok?" I tried to reassure her as well me. I softly kissed her forehead.
"Edward?"
"Yes, Bella?" I said looking down at her.
"Will you stay with me?" She asked. As if she even had to ask. I wasn't going anywhere.
"Of course angel. I'm not going anywhere. Do you honestly think I've left this bed since you were brought I here?" I laughed slightly.
"Yeah, I got to admit you stink Edward." She laughed with me. She was laughing. "Its fine though. I wouldn't want to be anywhere but in your arms." She murmured. "Edward?"
"Bella?"
"Will you kiss me?" She asked carefully.
"Bella you seriously have to ask?" I replied smiling slightly. I leant down to press my lips gently against hers trying to be careful. She deepened the kiss causing me to moan when her tongue slid into my mouth. We pulled apart when Bella was needing to breathe.
"Bella.." I breathed.
"Edward.." She sighed. I saw her eyes began to droop, she was exhausted
"Shh. Bella. Sleep now. I'll still be here holding you when you wake up I promise. I love you." I told her, rubbing soothing circles on her back, humming her lullaby softly. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep and I soon followed with my angel safe in my arms. She was back.
…
Ok theres that one done.
You all remember what comes up next…
Bella goes a little bit crazy but wait til you see Edwards reaction.
