Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. If I did, Edwards would climb through my window every night. Kinky :P
I cannot believe I made such an idiot of myself. Here I am sitting in a hospital with a cast on my leg. Edward, the traitor, called Alice while I was asleep to tell her about my accident. Now Rose, Jasper, Emmett, Alice and Edward are all waiting in the hall for me. I groaned internally as the doctors gave me my crutches. I refused to get a wheelchair. If I got a wheelchair someone would have to wheel me around everywhere because I'm not very strong in the arms.
I walked (if you call it that, it was more of a hobble really) down the hall and found the whole party waiting for me. YAY! I glared at Edward but he merely smiled back in relief. Alice ran up to me and flung her arms around me nearly knocking me down in the process.
"I am so glad you're alright Bella. When Eddie called me I nearly had a heart attack. Never do this to me again!" she scolded, trying to sound like a strict mother but failing entirely.
"I have a feeling you should get used to it. I'm very accident prone remember," I said jokingly. Edward looked like something was bothering him. And no, I wasn't staring… much.
"You're a classic Bella. Escaped a drunk only to slip and break your ankle," Emmett laughed. Everyone else glared at him but I giggled. He really was a highly amused teddy bear.
"Let's get you back to the room Bella. You must be tired," Alice said. I merely nodded. I hobbled, using my crutches, out the door and to her car. Before I could get in, however, I felt a hand on my arm. I turned and saw the smothering, piercing, electric, beautiful, breath-taking, heavenly green eyes staring back. His eyes were tense, but still god damn beautiful.
"Are you alright Edward?" I squeaked. His eyes were making it impossible to think clearly, or think at all really.
"To be completely honest, Bella, no. Do you have any idea how worried I was? Seeing you get attacked by the drunk, watching as you fell and knowing I could do nothing to stop it. I felt so helpless, Bella. Promise me you will be more careful. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you," he admitted. I felt my heart skip a beat. Some people might think this is too deep for the first day of meeting, they might even be scared by it. However, I just wanted to hear him say it again, and again, and again.
"As much as I want to promise you that I will stay safe and unharmed, I usually have at least one hospital visit a month, if I'm lucky. I'm not known for staying out of danger. If there is danger within a mile radius, it will inevitably find me. Trust me on that. You don't know my past," I said, darkly. I could tell he was curious as to what I meant but my sudden blank face kept him from saying anything.
"Then I'll just have to keep you out of danger," he said, determinedly.
"What like my protector? Thanks, but no thanks. I can look after myself."
"No, like you're friend. I'm not gonna let you get hurt."
"You can try," I said, amused.
"I will. Where is your phone?" he asked, happily.
"Umm… here. Why?" I asked, as I pulled my phone from my bag and handed it to him. He typed something in and handed it back.
"I just put my number in your phone. If you ever need me don't hesitate to call. In face, promise me you will call if you need me for whatever reason," he pushed.
"Fine," I agreed, a little too happily.
"Also, maybe I should have your number too so I can check up on you," he insisted. I put my number into his phone and he smiled his brilliantly sexy crooked smile at me.
"Bye Bella."
I simply shrugged, too stunned for words by this point, but before I could hop (literally) in the car, he stopped me and brought me to his chest, securing his arms around my waist. We stood there just hugging each other until I heard Alice honk her horn impatiently. I reluctantly let got of Edward and slid into Alice's Porsche.
I peeked at Alice and she was looking at me with a huge grin on her face. I just looked at her. I folded my arms and continued to stare until I could basically see her impatience running off her.
"Alright! I'll tell you! I think that Eddie Poo likes you!" she squealed. I just laughed.
"Yeah, right. Like he doesn't have girls dripping off of him," I said, sarcastically. He probably did have girls throwing themselves at him. What girl wouldn't? I mean, he's a green eyed, drop dead gorgeous, sexy god who is actually nice. How often do you come across one of them? Not often!
"He does! I mean, did you see the way he looked at you all night! I thought his eyes were gonna fall out of his head. How many guys numbers did you get Bella?" she demanded, as she manoeuvred the car dangerously through the streets.
"Three," I answered, shyly.
"Huh. I swore you would get four. What about Eddie? Didn't he give you his number?"
"Oh. Right. Yeah. I got four then."
"Huh! Right again!"
"Stupid, future predicting, annoying, bossy pixie," I muttered. She simply smiled, before it turned into a grimace and she looked at me apologetically.
"I am sorry Bella! I didn't think you were serious when you said you would end up in a hospital," she apologised, guiltily.
"It's okay, though I did warn you. I only wish I had brought the stupid shoes down with me," I stated, frustrated, as I held up two completely unharmed shoes.
Alice just laughed and helped me out of the car.
I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow. That night I dreamt that I was naked. I had no idea why and let's just say that freaked me out. I have enough body issues as it is. Then, my dreams turned very, very good. Edward played a very big part in these dreams.
Before I knew it, it was morning. I had classes and Alice took me out for coffee and breakfast in the morning at a place called Breaking Dawn. They made the best coffees.
Alice and I sat outside. I asked her why and she said that she was looking for some eye candy. At this, I blushed.
"But you're taken," I pointed out.
"But you're not," she retorted, with an evil glint in her eye. Just then a boy with blonde hair and babyish features came up to us.
"Can I get you something?" he smiled.
"Yeah. I'd like two cappuccino's, two blueberry muffins and some scones," Alice answered promptly. I just smiled at her.
"Sure. What'd you do to your leg?" he asked me.
"I fell," I blushed.
"You fell?" he laughed. "Must have been a pretty good fall to bust your leg up like that. What's your name?" he asked.
"It was a pretty good fall. You should have seen it. Luckily she didn't damage my shoes while she was at it. I am Alice and this is my roommate Bella," Alice answered for me.
"Cool. I'm Mike. You guys go to Dartmouth?"
"Yeah. This is our first year."
I just stared at the table. I didn't really want to talk to him. In fact there was only one person who I felt like talking to, and he had green eyes, bronze hair and a god like body!
"Is there a chance I could get your numbers?" he asked. I wanted to puke luckily Alice saved me. Though not in a way I would like.
"No thanks Mike," she answered.
"Why not?" he demanded.
"Bella and I are together. We have been for quite a few months now. Isn't that right Bellsy?" she giggled. She grabbed my hand and winked at me. I had to swallow my laughs.
"That's hot," Mike drooled.
"Why don't you go get our order and stop harassing your customers?" Alice suggested icily.
He left, but he kept looking back as if he would get a look at us kissing or something. I wanted to punch him.
"So Alice, when were you gonna tell me that we are an item? I'm feeling very rejected right now," I joked.
"Well, we're going on a date next week. Do you wanna break the news to Jasper, or should I?" she joked, back.
"Haha. You're handling that on your own."
"Edward would be really disappointed if you and I were a couple," Alice hinted.
"What?" I demanded, confused.
"Edward likes you. I can tell," she giggled.
"He wouldn't like me. He's drop dead gorgeous and smart and nice…" I trailed off.
"One thing you should know about Edward, he has never shown interest in girls before. Emmett was afraid he swung the other way. Then you come along and he is acting like a love sick fool. Trust me, he is interested," Alice insisted.
"No he's not. Everything he's done around me is strictly friendly. Not interested in anyway," I retorted.
"Well," Alice contemplated, "maybe we just need to give him a nudge."
"What sort of nudge? Alice, what are you thinking?" I asked, worried. She had this evil glint in her eye.
"Bella, do you know about the powers of the green eyed monster?"
"Green eyed monster? You mean jealousy?" I checked, confused.
"Jealousy alright. Making Edward jealous will force him to act, cause he wouldn't want you with anybody else."
"Who else? I don't want to be with anybody else."
"Silly Bella! We know you wouldn't want to be with anybody else but Edward won't," Alice laughed, quite evilly. That is when I first felt a twist in my stomach, warning me against whatever Alice was planning. However, I decided to go through with it anyway.
"So what are we doing now?" I asked. Alice packed up her stuff and motioned for me to do the same. As we were hurriedly packing Alice explained.
"We're going fishing!" she exclaimed.
"I don't understand how that helps," I admitted.
"We aren't fishing for fish. More like, fishing for a guy who looks good and would be the ultimate guy for making Edward jealous."
I had a feeling this was either going to go really well, or really badly.
