Accidents Happen

Edward POV

Los Angeles, California
May 2009

"Eddie, let's go!" Emmett bellowed from the front door of my Chicago condo.

"How many times do I have to ask you not to call me that?" I yelled back from my spot in my bedroom, packing last minute items.

"Hurry your ass up," he grumbled, completely ignoring my question. He was thoroughly excited about this trip, more so than I.

"I just need to grab one more thing. I'll meet you guys in the car."

I heard the door to the condo shut. Assuming they went to start the car, I took one last look around to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything before locking up and heading out to the elevator.

The thoughts of what I was about to do coming back to me.

How did Jasper and Emmett manage to talk me into this?

Oh, right. They threatened my Volvo.

But really… I needed a change of pace. Supposedly, that constituted my involvement on a dating show.

"Perfectionist…always making us late," I heard Emmett grumble under his breath as I walked up to the car where he and Jasper were waiting; leaning against the hood. I don't think I was supposed to hear that.

"Let's go! We gotta stop by the office to pick up material to work on at the LA office... Dude, you'll be gettin' yourself some ass while we slave away working," Emmett said. After throwing my luggage in the back, I got in the backseat of his jeep and buckled up, completely ignoring his blatant comment.

Emmett and Jasper had been my two best friends since the last I could remember. We grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same schools all the way up until we graduated from the University of Illinois. After that, I went on to medical school while they started their own business: J&E Real Estate. They had six major offices throughout the United States: Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and Seattle.

I made sure to let them know the creativity on the name was genius. Emmett genuinely thanked me with a proud smile. I didn't have the heart to tell him I was joking.

We drove to their office listening to some crap music Emmett worships. After picking up a few extra files from their office, dodging the annoying secretary, no I do not want to go out with you, I thought for the tenth time, we headed to the airport.

The airport wasn't exactly busy seeing as it was a weekday, so we made it through security and got to our terminal with two hours to spare. The slouching leather seats outside our gate were scratchy and obnoxious while I mindlessly flipped through my blackberry, losing another game of solitaire.

"Emmett…learn to read a watch. Please... 'Let's go! We're going to be late'," I spoke in my best Emmett voice. "We're two hours early!" I was just trying to make him angry. It was sort of entertaining.

Jasper just laughed and kept silent reading the newspaper. Emmett glared at my not so subtle attempt to mock him.

Reaching into his briefcase, he pulled out a handheld orange and white stripped book. A look of pure concentration adorned his face while he flipped through it.

"When did you start reading...actually, when did you start owning books?" Emmett was smart in a different kind of way. He could solve complicated math problems and probably name every element on the Periodic Table of Elements with ease, but reading, writing and quick smarts were not his forte.

"Shut up, you bitchless ass," he growled without even looking up from his book.

"Bitchless," I laughed and raised my eyebrows in question when he looked up.

"Yes, bitchless. It means single. Solo. Solitary. Alone…. as in you."

I scoffed. "Is that an Emmett original?"

He went back to reading but held the book up in the air.

"A client's kid left that book at our office and he has been hooked on it ever since. It's from that internet site Urban Dictionary…," Jasper commented.

I just laughed because that is something…or more like the only thing Emmett would be reading.

~*~

The plane ride was eventful to say the least. Jasper and I found our seats easily. Emmett also found his seats. Yes, he actually felt the need to buy two seats because he "likes the leg room". The part that had me laughing was when he realized he ended up sharing a three-seat row with an older woman by the name of Esther.

Throughout the ride, she told him things from what she did during WWII to her utter hatred of peanut butter. I thought it was quite funny. Emmett seemed really into his conversations with her. Explaining what an iPod was to how to score a touch down in football. Emmett really did have a soft side; he was like a big teddy bear once you got to know him.

After our plane descended and Emmett exchanged addresses with Esther so they could be "pen pals", we got our luggage and headed out to the car rental kiosk.

Emmett went to the bathroom while Jasper and I waited in line.

"What's on your mind?" Jasper didn't even bother looking up from the civil war book he was reading.

"Nothing, just thinking," I answered. Jasper always seemed to know when I needed to talk, he was great at reading peoples emotions.

"I know," he laughed. "That's why I'm asking. You look deep in thought."

"I don't know. I was just thinking if coming here was the right choice, you know?"

"Yeah, I know. You just need to give it a chance and stop over thinking it."

"Yeah, but—" He cut me off before I could finish.

"Let me finish." He looked at me sternly, but I knew he meant well. "Edward, as your best friend, I am going to be perfectly honest…You tend to over think things. You need to stop putting so much thought into what you do and just do what your gut tells you."

"That's my point, I don't know what my gut it telling me. I don't even…I just don't know," I replied. I was confused to say the least.

I did not know what I was supposed to do. I was so used to just doing what my mind told me was best that this "living spontaneously" sort of thing caught me off guard.

"Well, what would you be doing otherwise? You don't go out, Edward. Emmett and I are practically your only friends. You immerse yourself in your job… You really don't have a life."

"Wow, thanks," I sarcastically remarked. I knew I was dedicated to my job. I was a pediatrician at a hospital in Chicago and I loved it. I realized that I spent most of my time there, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Other than Jasper and Emmett and my family, it was all I had.

"I'm not saying it to be rude. I'm just trying to show you that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Even if it doesn't work out with the show, you needed a change of pace. You know that." He looked at my sympathetically. I knew he was right. It was just hard for me to admit.

"Yeah, I know. I just…I guess your right," I mumbled.

"Hell, yes, I'm right. As your best friend, it's my job."

I laughed. "Then what's Emmett's?"

"I don't know…pen pal?" We both chuckled at Emmett's secret soft side as he rounded the corner from the bathrooms.

"What's so funny?" he asked, completely oblivious to us laughing at his expense.

"Nothing, nothing at all," I answered with a wide grin.

"Okay…" He eyed us suspiciously, but dropped the subject.

Once we got our car rented and paid for, we drove to the hotel we would be staying at the week before the show started filming.

Jasper and Emmett both wanted to come to Los Angeles a week early so they could get settled in their offices there. They had been there a few times to get the business opened but never really stayed long enough to make a difference.

They would be staying at the hotel in a luxury suite, so they didn't mind. I however would only be staying there a week before I had to make my way to the house all the contestants would be staying in.

After a tiring drive through early morning traffic, we finally made it to the hotel just in time for breakfast. A red eye flight was cheaper than a daytime flight. We are pretty well off, but that didn't mean we liked to throw away unnecessary money. My mother taught me the value of the dollar and I liked to think I learned that lesson well.

During breakfast, Emmett and Jasper talked business. Something along the lines of a new ad campaign for the LA office. I wasn't really paying attention because two booths over I heard the most beautiful sound.

Laughter.

A woman's voice by the sound of it. Seemingly harmless, you would think. However, this was different. I couldn't explain why, but the sound brought a smile to my face. It was so beautiful.

I tried to lean over in my chair to get a better look at the people occupying the booth but the other restaurant occupants were blocking my view.

I waited to hear the sound again, but to no avail. Jasper and Emmett were finished eating but I was taking my time. I wanted the girl from the booth to leave before we did so I could see her face.

A few minutes later I saw three girls get up from the restaurant and walk out the door, their backs to us the whole time. One was tall and blonde. There was a smaller girl with short black hair. Finally, there was a small, fair skinned, brunette.

I wondered which of them was the one with the beautiful laughter.

They were dressed in bathing suit cover ups, it was quite obvious with their flip flops and magazines where they were going. The pool.

"Hey, do you guys want to go to the pool after this?" I was hoping they would agree so I wouldn't have to explain my reasoning on why I wanted to go to the pool by myself. I didn't really know how to explain it if I could.

"Hell yeah!" Emmett's excited voice boomed throughout the restaurant, causing some stares.

"We'll go get changed and meet you there in a few," Jasper responded.

I went up to my own suite and quickly changed. Part of me questioned my sanity at why I was so enthralled in a woman and I hadn't even seen her face, only heard her. Yet, I could not bring it to myself to care.

I was too interested in the answer to think about the question.

As I made my way down to the pool, I realized how dumb this whole plan was. What was I going to do, walk up to her and say, Hey, I heard you laugh and it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard so I followed you here?

No. That wouldn't work.

It was too late now, Emmett and Jasper were already there and they would question where I was. I decided to suck it up and just go. I was going to try the "gut feeling" thing. I didn't want to over think it.

As I walked into the pool room, my eyes immediately landed on a beautiful brown-haired woman talking about some spa with her friends. She was wearing a blue bikini that contrasted beautiful with her creamy skin. She had a small frame but wasn't as small as the girl with short black hair.

That's her.

Her voice was just as wonderful as her laugh, if not better. Her chocolate brown eyes sparkled as she spoke with such enthusiasm. The sight of her astounded me.

She was an angel.

The next thing I knew Emmett and Jasper had been wrestling and splashed her and her friends. I stayed back a little to watch how they would react; hoping Emmett and Jasper wouldn't notice I had come in just yet.

"What the hell?" the blonde one screamed. "Don't you have any common sense, you idiot? This is a public pool. Not some place you can just romp around splashing people!"

"We're really sorry, miss," Jasper apologized. He was looking at the smaller black haired girl with a smile.

"It's a pool! If you don't want to get wet, don't sit there," Emmett said defensively, putting his foot in his mouth.

This was going to be good.

"I'm going to go grab our towels…" The angel spoke softly.

As she stood up though, she managed to slip on the wet floor, fall into the pool and hit her head on the railing at the entrance. I tried to get to her in time to catch her, but I was too far away.

"Oh my god...Bella," one of the girls screamed. That must have been her name. I didn't notice which one though; I was focusing on getting to her.

Emmett and Jasper started to swim over to her but I got there faster. I plunged into the water, not caring about anything else but getting her out. She seemed to be unconscious and I hoped she didn't have a head injury.

I was going into doctor mode. I knew I needed to help her, but my concern for her was more prominent than it should have been for any other person.

I didn't know what to make of this. I barely knew her!

I grabbed her out of the water and held her against my chest, trying to keep her head stable.

"God, please help her," one of the girls whimpered.

Jasper and Emmett were out of the pool seconds after me.

"What can we do?" Emmett asked seriously. They all stood around me as I assessed the problem.

"Give me a minute," I said calmly as possible. I needed to check if there was anything remotely wrong with her. I didn't think she hit her head that hard; the water helped lesson the impact, but I still wanted to be sure.

I laid her down on one of the chases closest to the pool, being careful of her neck and head.

"He's a doc, its okay. I'm sure she'll be fine." Emmett was obviously trying to play it cool to lessen the worry on the girls, but I needed to be sure she was going to be fine myself.

I checked her pulse with the clock by the pool and it seemed to be in normal range. Then I checked her head for any signs of internal or external bleeding. Her pupils were also normal. After fully making sure that she would be fine, I concluded that her body most likely went into shock from the hit and water, causing her to pass out.

I was sure she was going to be fine but I worried nonetheless.

"She's going to be fine. A hospital might be a good idea if you want, but I'm not sure it's necessary. She doesn't seem to have any head injures. I think she just feinted… She should wake up soon."

The girls sighed in relief, although the worry was still etched on their faces.

"Bella really hates hospitals and if it's not absolutely necessary, I don't think that's the best idea. Unless you do…" The blonde one said.

"No, I think she'll be fine. I just want to monitor her until she wakes up. I won't know for certain until I can speak with her about what she's feeing."

"Okay, we should bring her to our room," the shorter one replied anxiously.

"What floor are you on?" I tried my best to stay calm for them. Deep down I knew there was nothing seriously wrong with her, just a slight bump to the head. But she was different and that had me worried on a whole different level.

"Fourth," the blonde said nervously.

"We are on the second, let's take her to mine. I have some stuff in my room…Do any of you have an ice pack? She's going to need it for her head. And maybe some painkillers too," they both looked anxious still so I felt the need to reassure them. "Really, she'll be perfectly all right. You don't need to worry."

That seemed to bring them relief and they both nodded with small smiles.

"Thank you," they said in unison.

"No worries," I answered.

I double checked her for any serious injuries once more before lifting her into my arms and cradling her to my chest.

She felt right in my arms. Almost like, she belonged there. It was a weird feeling and I didn't know what to think of it. I felt an electric pulse surging through my veins. The feeling wasn't painful, quite the contrary. Incredible; that's the only way I could think to describe it. I wanted more of it. I just didn't know what to do about it.

We walked to the elevators, only receiving a few stares from other people. While waiting for the elevators, I realized I only knew the beautiful brown haired girls name in my arms…and I hadn't even introduced myself.

"I know this is a little less than pleasant way to meet but…I'm Edward."

"Jasper, pleasure to meet you," Jasper introduced himself and took the shorter one's hand, kissing the top. What a suck up.

"Emmett," Emmett introduced himself with a wink, looking specifically at the tall blonde.

"Well I'm Alice. And this is Rosalie," the black haired girl responded. Obviously they had already paired off. I felt like I was watching a mating ritual, seeing the way Emmett and Jasper tried to woo Rose and Alice.

We arrived at our level during our introductions and walked over to where my room was. Emmett opened the door and we all walked in. She would be most comfortable on a bed, so I walked into the bedroom and laid her down.

I turned around to see all four of them staring at me expectantly. The girls had a glint of mischief in their eyes, but I couldn't figure out why.

"Now, we wait. She should wake up any minute."

"Okay, well we are going to go find her some ice and meds. Do you boys want to come with?" Alice showed an innocent smile.

"Hell, yes," Emmett responded.

"Okay, Edward…we'll be back soon," Alice responded cryptically.

As soon as they left I studied the beautiful woman lying in front of me. She looked so angelic, her wet brown hair fanning across the white pillow—her chest rising and falling with every breath. Then I realized how little she was wearing. I knew it was wrong to blatantly stare at her, but I couldn't help it, damn it.

I would have to give her something of mine to wear when she woke up. I tried to tell myself that it was because she would feel more comfortable that way, but I knew that it was because I wanted to see her in my clothing.

Already acting like a caveman, Cullen?

It had only been a few minutes when she started to stir. Her breathing became more pronounced and her eyes fluttered.

"Bella," I called her name, hoping to help wake her up.

Her eyes fluttered some more but they didn't open. "Hmmm?"

"Can you hear me, Bella? I need you to open your eyes for me." I needed to check her pupils. It's not good for her to stay passed out after a head injury. She could have a concussion.

Slowly, she complied, opening her deep chocolate brown eyes.

A/N: Thanks for reading! I will send you a preview of the next chapter if you would like, but I will be posting it REALLY soon so there may not be a point to that. Either way, let me know if I did Edward justice :)
