***PLEASE READ AUTHOR'S NOTE BEFORE CONTINUING***
A/N: Okay, everyone! Here I am with yet another story. Forbidden Romance is going great, and I have it all mapped out on how I want it to end so don't worry about me neglecting that story. I love my readers so much, and I want to make sure all of you who have enjoyed my previous stories remain entertained. I have a couple of things that you should know about this one though.
First of all, I've been on Fanfiction long enough to realize that some readers are very sensitive when it comes to remaining true to the traits and qualities that Stephenie has given her characters. So I'm warning you now this is OOC. Some of the things I will have these characters do would never ever ever happen in the Twilight world. And one thing I really don't want is to offend anyone in any way.
It might seem a little disturbing at parts that may be uncomfortable for some of you to read. It shouldn't be too bad, but I'm just warning anyone who doesn't like even the slightest bit of detailed sexual content or other mature themes. Also, like my two other stories, this is AU and All human. No surprise there, but I wanted to make sure that was out in the open.
This is just the prologue so it's really short, but please leave me a review when you've finished reading. If I don't get enough feedback, then I'll just get rid of this and try to think of better ideas. So your opinion is crucial to my writing process. Thanks everyone!
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Prologue
Feeling sorrow
For all the things you had to steal and borrow.
Bring back the days we had before tomorrow
Relapse and then collapse into yourself once more.
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
It's no mystery why the waiting room is called the waiting room. Because that's all you can do: wait and sit and stand and wait some more. You're filled with nothing but anxiety while you remain in the white area, tapping your foot nervously and sawing the tips of your nails off with your teeth. You're surrounded by a crowd of strangers who are doing the same thing as you; waiting and waiting and waiting. Nobody speaks to each other. In fact, people normally try to avoid eye contact with another person for as long as possible. No one wants to see the fear shaped in the eyes of someone else. It only makes the pain you feel worse.
This wasn't supposed to be this way. This unfamiliarity mixed with lost hope was too much. There was no gesture or act that could possibly help me, or the others right now. No words or motions could make this waiting go any quicker. I was so lost and so afraid, and I wasn't sure if I could take anymore of this. I didn't know how long Alice had been holding me in her arms while I sobbed, but I honestly didn't care. My world seemed like it was over now.
Alice's fragile fingers stroked my back, trying to ease the pain I was feeling. But that was next to impossible. There was nothing anyone could do to make this okay. Because it wasn't. It would never be. Not unless he was okay. My tears were seeping deep down into the thin material of Alice's bright red top, leaving a giant wet spot behind. She didn't seem to mind though so I didn't make an attempt to remove myself.
Rosalie had her arm draped over Alice's shoulder the last time I checked. But that could have been hours ago. I didn't know nor did I care. My family and his family were settled in the lobby of the hospital, awaiting the time when someone would come to tell us the results of the surgery. But it was taking so long, and I was so tired. We'd been here practically all night, but I didn't want to sleep. If I missed even the slightest detail, I knew none of them would wake me. So I forced myself to stay awake even if the tears spilling from my eyes were telling me that it was time to sleep.
"Excuse me," a deep voice interrupted. "Mr. and Mrs. Cullen?"
Immediately, I yanked myself up from Alice's hold and stood along with Esme and Carlisle. Emmett placed his hand on my shoulder and squeezed as if he were trying to relax my tense state. I placed my hand over his, thanking him with my tear-filled eyes. Jasper was now holding Alice who seemed to be falling apart. She hadn't cried this whole time, but I knew it would be too soon when she lost it all. Rosalie leaned against the wall, biting her lip nervously while my mother and father sat anxiously in the uncomfortable chairs staring at the doctor who had just made his arrival.
This was it.
"I have the results," was all he said.
And just like that, I felt my whole world change forever...
