Chapter 3

JPOV

Bella was so stiff as I held her in the ambulance. I couldn't' let her go, I was just so worried about her, and Charlie. I hadn't told Billy anything either because he had been at Harry Clearwater's house having lunch with them, but I would call him as soon as we reached the hospital.

When we reached the hospital I let Bella head down the corridor with her father by her side whilst I pulled out my phone and called the Clearwater's home.

"Hello, Clearwater residence, Sue speaking." I heard on the other end of the line.

"Hey Sue, It's Jacob can you put Billy on for me it's really important?" I asked with worry and sadness searing through my words.

"Yes sure Jake."

"Thank you," I said with tears forming in my eyes. Charlie was like a second father to me and I was only just starting to realise what had really happened.

"Jacob! What's wrong? Are you ok? What's happening? Talk to me," He pleaded, confusion in his voice.

"Dad I'm fine. It's Charlie, he's been in an accident. I'm down here at the hospital with Bella. I had to tell you."

"Oh Jacob! Harry and I will be right there."

"Ok dad see you in a few. I'll explain everything when you get down here," I said as the phone started to beep signalling to me that he had already hung up. Probably just in a rush to get here a soon as he could. I knew my dad loved Charlie like a brother and was truly worried about him.

I felt lonely as Jacob had not come farther than the waiting room of the emergency department. He was always there for me when I needed him, so why had he left me now?

I knew he had not told Billy yet and was probably just calling him, but even though I knew this, I couldn't stop myself thinking that he had just left me alone right when I needed him most.

"Bella?," I heard him say. The word rolling of his tongue as if it were as natural as breathing.

"Jacob, I'm here." I spoke, the tears drying up on my face after the doctor had told me just minutes ago.

"Oh Bella. Billy is on his way with Harry, I'm sorry I left you but I had to call him and let him know what was going on. He loves Charlie like a brother and I know he wouldn't be the same if something happened to him."

"Jacob, I understand. I would do the same thing if it were Billy." He shuddered at the thought I had just put in his head and I instantly felt guilty about it. It was not something that Jacob liked - seeing his father in hospital - Billy was always in and out of hospital when Jake was little because he had a back problem. He was in a wheelchair now.

"Has the doctor said anything?" He questioned with hope in his eyes.

"Yes. Dr. Cullen came to speak to me whilst you were on the phone. He said that Charlie was going to be fine. He has a few cuts from the glass, you know, and a few bruised ribs. But he should be back to normal in a few weeks or so."

"Oh thank god," Jacob said giving me a weak smile and a hug. I knew then that he was feeling better, but I could still see the worry in his eyes.

When Bella said that she would have done the same thing if it were my dad in hospital rather than her father I could tell that she regretted it so I was quick to change the subject, to something a little lighter at least.

"Has the doctor said anything?" I asked still hoping Charlie would be alright.

"Yes. Dr. Cullen came to speak to me whilst you were on the phone. He said that Charlie was going to be fine. He has a few cuts from the glass, you know, and a few bruised ribs. But he should be back to normal in a few weeks or so." She said to me and I knew she was trying to comfort me a little after what she had said before. I knew I should have said something but I never really liked seeing my dad in hospital all the time, and Bella already knew not to bring it up again.
