A/N: So, a little excited are we? Well why don't we just see what happens to Bella, Rose, Nancy, and Alice.


Chapter 14

EPOV

I watched as the Medics pulled in the first girl strapped in a gurney. It took me two glances to see that the girl on the gurney was Bella. Half her face was distorted with cuts and blood and I could see the blood that was flowing from her face and head. A sob shook through me as I remembered the night I had rescued her from her own personal nightmare. Her body had been bloody as it is now and I couldn't believe I hadn't protected her from this.

I watched the worry on Carlisle's face slowly slip into determination. I watched as he shouted back and forth between the nurses and surgeons as they burst through the second set of double doors heading toward the operating room. I had to have confidence in Carlisle. I knew that he'd do whatever he could to help her.

Some more medics pulled in another gurney. Another stream of doctors and nurses pushed past me and crowded around the next gurney. I stretched on my tiptoes and my eyes darted toward the gurney. I only caught a wisp of blood red hair and I knew instantly that it was Rosalie. My stomach churned with disgust at what more could happen to Alice and Nancy.

The glass doors slid open again and Alice and Nancy limped in with the help of two men. Alice's eyes met mine and a fountain of tears flowed from her already puffy eyes.

"Oh Edward." Alice sobbed falling into my arms. "I'm so sorry Edward, it's all my fault."

I held my sister's frail figure to my body and tried to comfort her. "It's okay Alice." I assured her softly rubbing circles onto her back. "I know honey, it's okay."

Nancy limped past us and sat down in one of the waiting room chairs. Usually it was routine for the ER nurses to do a check up on every victim of an accident as soon as possible but everyone was working on Bella and Rosalie.

The thought brought the vivid memory of Bella's mangled body back into my mind. I found a few ways of coping, but only once was feasible. Sadly all I could do was block out the pain and stay strong for Alice and Nancy.

Through all the chaos I saw Jake push through the frenzied crowd. Conley limped beside him and they each dawned a confused expression. Conley's eyes took in a very traumatized Alice and I'm sure my terrified expression. She looked at Nancy who had blood on the side of her face and the bruises on her arms. Recognition dawned her face and it instantly drained of color.

"Edward?" She spoke unsteadily.

My doctor's eyes lit up with surprise as the announcement came over the intercom. "I'll be back to fit you for your cast shortly." He blurted out quickly as he stole out of the room.

He was too busy to shut the door and I watched as doctors rushed past pulling a bed with them. I shrugged it off and my eyes roamed around the room. On the ceiling were amusing pictures with birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs. They had little jokes and clichés on them that were so corny you wanted to laugh.

The walls were covered with diagrams showing the various body systems. The next wall had a sink and syringe discard cabinet. The thought of needles made me cringe and I let my eyes wander over to the pictures of the female reproductive system. Memories of biology with Mrs. Bottoms came replaying in my head.

I could hear the clamor of whatever the code blue was echoing through the hallways. "She's loosing too much blood." A man's voice cried.

"Stay with us Bella, stay with us." The same voice cried.

There was a soft knock on my door and I pulled my eyes away from the walls. Conley stood in the doorway with puffy red eyes. She saw me and fresh tears filled her eyes.

"Rachel?" Her voice cracked and I opened my arms to her. She came to sit next to me and wrapped her arms around me as sobs racked her body.

"What's wrong?" I asked her while hugging her tight to my body. For as long as I could remember Conley had always run to me when she was upset or scared.

"It's Bella and Rosalie. They got in a car wreck." She blurted out as a fresh round of sobs filled the small room.

I let the shock overtake me and I hugged her tighter. "Oh Conley." I gasped as I felt tears prick at the sides of my eyes. "When? How? Where?" I managed to gasp out.

"Just an hour ago." She whispered as her sobs quieted. "They took my car… Alice rounded the curb too quickly."

"And you're breaks weren't working properly." I finished her sentence. Conley was extra picky about who drove her car not because it was expensive, which it was, but that the breaks weren't working to full potential and she hadn't gotten a chance to run by the auto shop back at home.

"It's all my fault." She whispered inaudibly. "I should have gotten the breaks fixed earlier."

I gripped her arms tightly and looked into her eyes. "Don't say that. Don't bring this on yourself. It's not your fault Conley."

There was another soft knock on the door and Nancy limped in. "Edward called Emmett and Jasper. They're coming." She closed the door behind her and took in both Rachel and mine's somber expressions.

Without another word she took a seat in the doctor's rolling chair. She took one of my hands and one of Rachel's hand. "Bella's not doing so well. She's lost a lot of blood and the right side of her face is going to need surgery." She whispered. "Rose is going to pull through. The window only cut her in a couple places on the back of her neck. The middle column between the doors got most of the tree."

She looked me in the eye. "I called the Pastor." She said softly eying my expression. "He's going to start prayer." She paused again. "He said we should pray too."

I nodded and squeezed both Conley and Nancy's hands. I took a deep breath. "Lord, we come to you…"


EPOV

I hung up with Emmett and Jasper feeling horrid for having to be the one to give them the news. Esme had showed up sometime while I was gone and she was rocking Alice softly back and forth trying to calm her fit.

The emergency room frenzy hadn't calmed down much and there were doctors and nurses running back and forth calling for backup and that sort of stuff. I avoided them and slipped through the glass doors and into the cool evening.

I leaned back against the cool cement wall and slid down until my bottom touched the ground. Here in the dark I could admit that I was scared of loosing Bella. Here I could admit to how much pain it caused me to see her in pain. Here I could admit how much I needed her to be with me. Here in the dark I could surrender.

I thought back to the last time I had worried this much about Bella. My thoughts only brought me back to that first night in Forks. It was the night that against her pleads I snuck into her small room and found her pained bleeding body. It was the night I promised that I would never let her be in such pain again. That was supposed to be the last night she would ever have to fear for her life. I had failed.

I remembered that night Emmett and I had rescued from near death. I remember Alice's tears over the girl she didn't know and Emmett's watery eyes. I remembered of so clearly Renee's words as she called Bella worthless and the puffy scars that Bella had inflicted upon her self with razors.

Then there were the gunshots. I remembered thinking that Bella was going to choose my goof of a brother over me. I remember the envy I felt when I thought he was going to win her heart.

I remembered the first time she slept in my bed. I concentrated on her soft breathing until her scream broke me from my dream. I wasn't sure what to do but I tried to be there for her. Terror filled her eyes at the awful dream and I tried to calm her the best I could. It wasn't enough though. I remember wanting to hold her in my arms and take the pain away. I remember the regret I had when I couldn't.

Then I remember finding the razor in her bathroom. Black dried blood was crusted over the sharp edges of the razor and I remember the anger I felt toward everything. She had tried to take her life because she believed she was worthless. If she had just cut a little deeper or if she had gotten to a vein, she could of killed herself. She wouldn't be here with me.

Headlights flashed over the building and blindingly pulled me from the bittersweet memories. The truck flew by me at a ridiculous pace for a hospital parking lot. The truck whipped into the closest parking spot and I large form unfolded from the truck while a tall figure came out of the passenger's side.

"Dude, you're never driving again." I recognized Jasper's irritated voice.

"Dude, shut your face." Emmett answered back.

I pulled myself up and decided it was time to face the facts. I pulled away from the cement wall and waited for Emmett and Jasper to reach me.

"How are they?" Emmett asked as soon as he was close enough to make out my form.

I shrugged. "I'm not sure." I answered honestly.

Emmett closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Jasper seemed to test the waters of emotions thought it only made me more antsy.

"I'm sure everything's going to be all right." He said positively.

We walked side by side neither Emmett nor I replying to Jasper's comment. The glass doors slid open and Alice and Esme came into view. A lanky doctor in a spotless white lab coat was flipping through a clipboard and speaking to Esme in hushed tones.

I couldn't make out what they were saying until I was right on them. "Yes, Bella has some major facial injuries and the right side of her body is badly bruised. She broke a couple of ribs from the impact of the seat belt and there is also a seatbelt bruise going from the right shoulder down to the middle of her stomach. The bleeding was major causing us to have to start some blood transfusions."

"How's Rose?" Emmett's voice boomed startling both Esme and the doctor.

The doctor met Emmett's eyes and he looked confident. "She's in surgery now. They think she might of pulled her shoulder out of socket and she has some minor injuries but she is extremely lucky giving the dire circumstances."

Emmett breathed a sight of relief. I watched as Alice lifted her head from Mom's shoulder and her eyes met Jasper's. He crossed the small space and gathered her in his arms as a fresh round of tears shook her tiny body.

I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it had been four hours. The time seemed to have passed so quickly. I crossed the room and sunk into one of the seats and waited out my information. I silently prayed that Bella would pull through this.

"Edward, you can see Bella now." Carlisle's voice broke my new thoughts.

I nodded. "What room."

"ER 124." He whispered somberly.
