A/N: Sorry guys, this one is a little shorter than i like.
I wanted out. No, I NEEDED out. It'd been three weeks since I'd woken up from my beating-induced coma. They had unhooked all the heart monitors, needles, and tubes about a week and a half earlier. They had said I was stable at the end of the second week, on Saturday. It was now Friday. To me, stable means good to go. Apparently, not to the doctors.
Aaron had still been my constant companion, day in and day out. My parents had come, of course, but not as often and the never stayed as long as Aaron. When I asked about a job, he said it was before he came to see me. Which confirmed my suspicions that he didn't sleep as he stayed most of the day with me. And I knew from the various times I had woken up during the night, he never left as he was always there when I woke.
So, as I was saying, I needed out. I couldn't go out quite yet or I would just be forced back into my prison-room. But I was tired of just staring at the 3 walls of my room that I could see. So, against my doctors' orders, I got out of my bed to walk around. In my room.
So I just walked around - still bored - and waited for Aaron to come.
Walking, Walking, you should be thinking
Great. Just wonderful. The voices were back and now they were talking in a sing-song voice. Well, at least the girl was.
Oh, leave the girl alone sis.
At least the boy was talking normal.
I mean, she HAS been in a hospital for three weeks and they haven't even told her what's wrong.
So, the voices knew what was wrong. Great.
I took a deep breath and prepared myself to accept my insanity.
"You know why I'm here?"
It was quiet for a moment after I had spoken. Then the boy's hopeful voice came.
Do you remember?
"No, but as long as you're talking to me, I might as well talk back."
I wish you could remember us.
"I don't know what I'm supposed to remember. But anyways, do you know why I'm here?"
Of course. Unfortunately, if we try to tell you then our communication gets cut off.
"Really?" Note the heavy sarcasm here.
We promise, really. Watch. You're here because-
Silence.
Then See?
I had to take several calming breaths before I responded. I also had to remind myself that yelling at the voices in my head would not get me anywhere. But it would probably score me points in the mentally ill department.
"So I won't know until they decide to tell me?"
Well, what's really going on is a 'I thought, you thought'
"A what?"
The doctors thought the nurses told you what's wrong and visa versa.
"Oh."
There was no response to that. I took the time to concentrate on the sound of their voices. To try and remember where and when I had seen and heard them. To try and remember whatever it was I was supposed to remember.
I don't know how long I sat there thinking, but after a bit I resurfaced from my thoughts with no luck remembering.
"Guys?"
No answer. This is what I hated the most. At one point they were there, the next they were gone.
I looked at the clock. It was just a little bit until Aaron came. Well, I could show him how strong I was. I quietly opened my door just in case and then shut it just as silently. I hadn't ever really been to this part of the hospital. It was for those who were seriously hurt and sick. Like I had been.
I was close to the double-swinging doors when pain shot up my left leg. I stumbled to the wall as I tried to regain my balance. It took everything I had to take another step towards the doors - towards help. But as I stepped again with my left, the pain paralyzed me and I nearly fell to the floor.
It hurt just as bad as the beating.
I couldn't get enough air. The world was spinning and was becoming fuzzy.
"Bella!"
I looked up to see Aaron walking towards me at the end of the hallway. He looked disapproving but not concerned so he probably couldn't tell how badly I was hurt.
I took a step and realized too late I used my left leg.
I screamed as pain shot through me and darkness descended.
As the floor rushed up to meet me, Aaron's arms were suddenly around me.
"Bella! I can't believe they didn't tell you! Why didn't you stay in your room? OH, Bella hang on g-" His voice continued to fade till I couldn't understand what he was saying.
Before the pain completely pulled me under, my last thought was how he had gotten to me way too fast.
A/N: Yes, i know that was a fast recovery time but i wanted to move on with the story instead of staying in the hospital. Please Review! It helps alot! Thanks to my steady reviewers:+
motherduckatschool,.,MelissaRM, Alice Vampire, MalaCandra, and Dani-1811. I apologize to anyone i have forgotten!
Also, it's been brought to my attention that Aaron is slightly confusing. Aaron's mixed eye color will be explained later. He is not evil(nor is he edward or Emmett under codename), he was just very mad at the boys in the first chapter. Also, he is Emmett's brother. The last name could be McCarty instead of McCarthy. I've seen it both ways. I'm gonna stick with mccarthy. The voices may not be explained for a bit, just know that they are the voices of the two she met in the 'in between' and can't remember and that they are someone she will know when they are alive. Aaron is about 18-20, i haven't completely decided yet and he lookes quite a bit similar to Emmett.
Hope that clears up some things. Any more questions feel free to ask. Review pretty please!
