Bella POV
The pain was just unbearable. I wanted it to stop. I couldn't stand it anymore. I wanted it to end.
"Never fear Bellsy!" Emmett screeched as he ran a red light. "I'll save you!"
The Jeep rocked from side to side as it dodged traffic.
Jazz, whose lap I was laying in, was calling Forks Hospital. "Sue? It's Jazz. Yeah, Bella's broken her leg. Mhm, open fracture. She's conscious." His calm voice contrasted against the look of pure horror on his face. "We'll be there in under 5." A beep signalled the end of the phone call.
"Don't worry Bell" Jasper soothed as he brushed the hair from my face and the tears from my eyes. "We'll be there soon."
"Correction" Emmett yelled. The Jeep stopped in an amazingly short distance. "We're there." He jumped out of the car and ran into the hospital to search up some nurses. Jazz kicked the door open and got me out, trying as hard as he could not to upset my leg. Thank God, he had put a splint on it.
Emmett came back with some nurses and a hospital trolley. Mercifully one of the nurses was Maddie, my favourite nurse. "Bella, Bella, Bella. What have you done?" she whispered to me. Then she turned to Jazz to fill her in on what had happened.
Thank God for Sue. As I was a frequent user of the Forks Hospital, I knew most of the office staff, nurses and doctors and they knew me. Sue had let everyone know that I was coming in, and what injuries I had sustained, so everything was ready.
As Maddie wheeled me into the OR, I focused on my breathing and tried to push the pain coming from my left leg into the background. As we pushed through the infamous double doors, enter Dr. Carlisle Cullen, my most frequent doctor. "Oh wow, that looks serious" Carlisle tutted. I barely felt the needle Maddie inserted into my arm. I shrugged my shoulders. "I've had worse" I shuddered. I thought of the broken cheekbone, cracked skull, punctured lung and three broken ribs I had received not that long ago.
"True to tha yo, sista".
Wait, where did that come from? I glanced at Carlisle, who looked sheepish. "I may have borrowed Alice's iPod without asking" Carlisle confessed. I giggled.
The white haze started to dance over my eyes, making me feel sluggish though I wasn't doing anything. I closed my eyes, knowing full well the anaesthesia would have its way with me sooner or later.
"Don't worry Belly. You'll get through this. You always do."
The words seemed to fight their way from my ear drum to my brain, and then I felt a hand worm its way into mine.

Carlisle POV
43 admissions in the last 18 months. Good Lord, what has Bella Swan been up to? Lacerations, broken bones, a punctured lung. I remembered that admission all too well.
While I was waiting for Bella to come out of anaesthesia, I thought I'd fill out her paperwork. To my surprise, most of it had been filled out by Emmett and Jasper. I could see that Jazz had done most of it; his neat writing was clearly very different to Em's messy scrawl.
"Carlisle" two voices spoke from behind me. I chuckled. Speak of the devils, and they shall appear. I turned to see Em and Jazz. "How is she?" Em muttered.
I sighed. "She'll be fine. Bella's a fighter, and she's been through worse than this." A collective shudder ran through the three of us. "Can we go see her?" Jasper asked.
I was about to say that she's still under anaesthesia, when the call light for Bella's room lit up. "She's awake, so go for it."
