Rosale's POV
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The annoying sound reminded me that I was in the hospital. Memories began to fill my head. My head smashing against a picture frame. The blow to the gut. I remembered everything. The pains in my jaw, head and stomach were all too good reminders.
I opened my eyes and winced as the lights above me stung them.
"Oh Rosalie!" Karen sobbed from the chair beside the bed. "I should have never left you alone. Emmett's mother called the police and they found him. He was arrested. Can you believe he was also driving drunk."
Her words came out in an endless rush as she stood beside the bed with her hands brushing stray strands of hair out of my face.
"Where is Emmett?" I asked my voice a little bit raspy.
"He went to go call his mom. He stayed overnight for you."
"Can you get him for me? I really need to talk to him."
"Sure," She patted me once on the hand and left the room.
I slid my eyes closed not because I was tired, but because I didn't want to see the room. It reminded me why I was in the hospital which made me think of what happened. I shuddered as the wall of memories hit me again.
"Rose?" Emmett's soft voice pulled me out of my memory and I snapped my eyes open grateful for him.
"Oh Emmett I'm so sorry about everything," I blubbered.
"Why are you apologizing?" He walked across the room to sit beside me on the bed.
"Because of the way I treated you. I yelled at you. I'm sorry for dumping all my problems on you." Tears pooled in my eyes and spilled over.
Emmett reached over and wiped them from my eyes. Where he touched me my skin felt like it was on fire. It felt good.
"Stop apologizing. You aren't dumping anything on me. I'm here for you, no matter what okay?"
I nodded and wiped away the remaining tears.
"How are you feeling?" He asked me.
"It hurts a lot." I told him.
His hands balled up into fists and his knuckles turned white "That bastard." He hissed under his breath.
"Why aren't you angry at me?" I burst out. It had been bothering me for a while.
"Why would I ever be mad at you?" He asked me slightly angered.
"I yelled at you, I told you to go away."
"I shouldn't have followed you I,"
I shook my head and closed my eyes. "That's not why I was upset." I whispered.
"Do you want to tell me? I can fix it." His voice had an urgent tone to it.
"It's what you said to me." My voice was shaking and my hands trembled.
"What did I say?" He gripped my hands to keep them from shaking.
"You told me you... loved me." The tears appeared again.
Confusion flickered across his face.
"Is it that you don't love me back?" Sadness creeped into his voice though he tried to hide it.
"N-No." I sobbed.
I took a moment to catch my breath. He waited patiently.
I took a deep breath and started again. "No, it's not that. It's just I have heard those words so many times; it's hard to believe them anymore. Whenever I do I get hurt."
"I will never hurt you!" He almost yelled the words.
He bent his head down and his lips touched mine. It was a soft kiss, but where his lips touched mine I felt the burn again. When it was over, I pulled away and rest my head against his shoulder and let my tears soak his shoulder.
We stayed like this for a while just holding each other and listening to our breathing.
Eventually a nurse came in and told us that Emmett's mother was here to take him back home for a while.
"Tell my mom that I'm fine here." He told the nurse.
"No, you should go eat something and get some proper rest." I told him.
He reluctantly let go of me and got to his feet. He grabbed his jacket off of the chair and made his way to the door.
"Emmett!" I stopped him before he left.
He turned and looked at me.
"I can't say it yet, but I want you to make me believe in love."
