Chapter 15
*Suddenly, there was someone beside me. I wish i couldve been awake long enough to recognize who it was, but i blacked out.*
Alice Cullen
i was taking a daily stroll when i heard the whimpering. For some reason, my instincts told me to walk towards the strange noises, and oddly enough, i didn't question them, i just did. The closer i got to the sobbing, the more familiar the voice became, until i realized who it was. My body locked up as a wave of fear and shock washed over me. How could someone do this to Bella? The fear and shock soon passed and angry took its place, a think film of red blurring my every sight as i began to move hurriedly towards Bella, hoping that whoever did this better still be there so i could rip off their head. Whoever it was, didn't deserve to live, thats i was certain of.
As i approached, i saw someone leave. Someone male. He was tall, thin and had an olive complexion. It took everything in me to not run up to him and rip his head off. The only reason i didn't is because of the look of extreme agony on Bella's face. I circled her a few times, attempting to assess how badly she was hurt before i touched her, i didn't want to put her in even more pain. When i finally figured out she needed to be taken to my father, Carlislie, to operate on her, i picked her up and started heading home. Bella seemed to notice i was here, but she didn't speak, she just fell unconscious from all the blood she'd lost from the open wound on her leg.
About ten minutes later, i bust through the door. "CARLISLIE!" i screamed at the top of my voice, i wasn't going to wait, she needed to be operated on NOW, she NEEDED to be saved. He heard the desperation in my voice and came bolting down the stairs, a look of shock crossing his face when he saw who i was holding. I didn't have to say anything, he didn't either. He ran over to me and snatched Bella from my hold and began to take her to the personal little O.R we had in the house. As soon as Bella was out of my arms and out of the room, my knee's gave way and i fell to the floor with a loud thud.
I began crying, letting the tears run down my face freely as they made a small stream. I didn't know what i'd do without Bella, she was like a sister to me as well as my best friend. I loved her the same as my family, to me, she was family. I bent over, sinking my head into the floor, making a small puddle of tears on the floor, i couldn't help it, i was having a full scale breakdown. The door opened, i didn't stop crying, however i did look up. My brother, Edward, was here. He ran over to me as soon as he saw the state i was in, he'd never seen me like this. That might have to do with the fact that ever since i met Bella, I've been nothing but a ball of sunshine and rainbows. "ALICE! what's wrong?" he questioned, concern the clear emotion in his voice.
"Bella" was all i managed to choke out before another round of tears broke the barrier i had created to try and keep them at bay. I looked at Edward, who had gone quite, and soon the most pained look I'd ever seen on his face. He looked like someone had just sawed off his leg without giving him pain killers or anything. He was dead frozen, silent and was barely so much as blinking. I couldn't put the pieces together, how did he even know Bella? were we even thinking about the same girl? Jut like me, he dropped to his hands and feet and began to sob. I pulled myself together, just enough to be able to pull my head off of the ground and shake him. "what? what is it? i asked with just as much concern in my voice as he had, when he asked me.
"Bella Swan?" how did he know her last name? "yes, how do you know her?" i said through my tears which were still running down my cheeks. It looked like an entirely new wave of pain hit him, i could almost see it. I could see how the features on his face turned into pure torture. "she's. my. girlfriend." He said. It was clear how much pain he was in, it was easy to see how much agony was in his voice. Id never seen him so, well, distraught. "oh. Im sure she'll be fine. Carlislie is operating now." i thought he had the right to know. i wonder what he did already know. Did he know that she got raped?
"WHAT!? what happened?" he almost screamed at me, jumping to his feet in the same moment. "um. i don't really think you want to know. You should probably got take a bath or something, you need to relax" i told him. "relax!" he scoffed. "HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO RELAX?" he screamed at me, then rearranged the features on his face to a more saddened expression. He bowed his head as if he felt ashamed of himself, and then continued. "Alice, please. Please, tell me. What happened?"As much as he needed to know, i couldn't find the words to tell him. I could barely tell myself what happened. "I'm sorry." i muttered before running off to my room, a net set of tears forming in my eyes as i ran.
I couldn't look at anyone, i could barely talk, i could barely do so much as think. I quickly shut the door behind me as i entered my room, and locked it. I couldn't even begin to describe how much this hurt me, seeing Bella that hurt, Hearing her cry's of pain and her whimpering as she tried to move but couldn't. She was so helpless. I slowly dragged my feet over to my bed and fell onto it, curling my legs up against my stomach and wrapping my arms around them. I lay there in my small little ball for hours. It wasn't until Edward knocked on my door that even moved an inch.
"we need to talk." Edward said in a strained voice as he came and sat next to me on my bed.
