A/N: As I promised this chapter is in Edward POV
A/N: As I promised this chapter is in Edward POV. I was a little surprised that nobody knew you "the blond guy" was, but I guess it not your guys fault, it mine for not making it clear enough. But in this chapter you should be able to figure it out. Well on with the story. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own the lovely and incomparable Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse books. The wonderfully and amazingly talented Stephanie Meyer does. Sometimes this world is just unfair. I'm only borrowing her characters for the time being (though I wouldn't mind borrowing Edward for an eternity). I also don't own the songs that go with the chapters.

My eyes opened to a bright room. It was an unfamiliar room, a white room. I looked around the room to notice that I was in the hospital. I looked over toward the sitting area of the room and saw my family. I saw my mom, Esme, sleeping in the chair, while Emmett and Rose were sleeping on the couch. I could still see the worry lines on there faces. I wonder how long I've been out for. As I was thing about this question Alice and Jasper can in to the room.
"Oh Edward your awake" Alice said as she came to me and gave me a big hug.
"I'm going to go get dad ok? I'm so glad you're up Edward." she said with a smile as she left the room.
"It good to see you up, man." Jasper said as he gave me a hug, but not as big as Alice's.
"So how long have I've been unconscious?" I said. I wanted to know how long I put my family though pain, but then again I didn't want to know either.
"For about three days." Jasper said "and it's all my fault, if I hadn't run after her then this would have never happened."
"What are you talking about, Jasper you were not there." I said
"Yes I was, who do you think called the police for help?" I just shrugged my shoulder as in I don't know kind of way.
"Alice and I were out for a walk, when she ran off, I ran after her, but she got away from me. So I started to walk in the direction that I last saw her go, in tell I didn't know where she was anymore. There was a crossroad and I didn't know which one to take, but for some reason I knew to go to the right and I'll find Alice, but the other side was calling me also, it was like calling me telling me I should go that way because someone was there that needed help. Well anyways I chose the left side, and I started to walk in that direction. I was calling out 'Where are you, I'm going to find you and when I do your going to get it.' Then I started to hear something, it was someone had gotten up and started to walk away, I though it was Alice 'There you are; I'm going to get you' I said as I started to run after her, but then I saw her trip and fall on the ground. She looked up at me and I stopped running, it wasn't Alice that I went running after it somebody else. There was so much terror in her eyes, it was like she though I was going to come after her and kill her or something. She had a bunch of cuts and bruises all over her face and from what I could see they were on her body also." Jasper stopped there to collect his thoughts.
I didn't say a word though his whole speech because I could see he was struggling with this. He is way to hard on him self, it was my fault that I hit that girl, if I was paying attention to the road and not thinking of her then I would have had time to stop and I wouldn't be putting my family though this.
Jasper took a deep breath and started to talk again "It looked like someone had beat her bad; I could still see some blood coming from one of the cuts. We just looked at each other for a while; in tell I called to her 'Hey you wait! Are you ok? I just want to talk to you' once I talked it seem to get her out of her little trance and she got up and started to run. I ran after her and when I broke though the trees, I saw her standing in the middle of the road, she looked scared but it also looked like she was happy that your car was going to hit her. Like she wanted to end her life, but you swerved your car and hit the tree, but not before the back of your car hit her, she flew in to the air and landed head first on the ground. I ran to you to see if you were alright and when I saw that you were unconscious to, and you were bleeding in the head. That is when I called the police and told them about the accident, and then I called Carlisle to warn him that you were going to be coming to the hospital, because of the accident. After I got off the phone with Carlisle I called Alice and told her to come over to where I was. Once I hung up with her I went to where you were and took you out of the car and bandage your head, then I went to were the girl was and I brought her closer to the side of the road and I looked at her. She had a lot of blood coming from her, I tried to look for some identification, but I couldn't find any, all I found was a razor blade in her pocket. After a while the ambulance came and took you to the hospital, Alice and I went with you to the hospital. We called Esme, and she came as fast as she could with Emmett and Rose." Jasper was looking out the window when he was telling me this; it was like he was reliving it.
"Jasper this isn't your fault, if anything it's mine, if I was paying attention…" I was interrupted by my father and Alice coming through the door.
"Edward I'm so happy that your wake." My dad said with a smile and then came closer to me to give me a hug.
"So how do you fell, anything bothering you?" my dad said going in to full doctor mood now.
"I'm fine and no nothing is bothering me." I said "Dad how is the girl I hit?"
"Edward you know I can't tell you that, it's against hospital rules." My father said
"Well can you tell me if she is alive?" I asked
"Yes, she is still alive, but she is in a coma. Do you happen to know who she is?"
"No, I didn't see who she was, why?" I asked
"Because no one knows who she is and it's kind of hard to identify her with all the swelling on her face. Plus nobody has come to the police saying that there child has gone missing. I don't get it, what kind of parents could just leave there daughter like this." My dad said getting mad towards the end.
"Well, why don't you just call the school and ask them who has been gone and they should give you the names, the list shouldn't be that long considering it's a small town." Jasper said, still looking out the window.
"You mean nobody has come to visit her, at all." Alice asked
"No, it kind of sad, to see such a young girl going through this alone, and that's a good idea Jasper I'll get right on it." Carlisle said has he left the room to go call the school.
"Should we wake them up?" Alice said pointing toward the rest of my family sleeping.
"No, let them sleep, it looks like they haven't slept in a while." I said.
"None of us have that much, but your right." Alice said.
I lade my head back down, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I woke up again and noticed that every body was awake and talking quietly to themselves. I looked over at my family to see Emmett and Jasper fighting over the remote control, while Esme tried to make them stop. Alice and Rose were looking threw some magazine and saying how some outfit would be nice on Rose. I just chuckled, to see my family acting like this brought a smile to my face.
"Oh Edward, your up!" Esme said as she came up to me and gave me a big huge. Then Rose came and gave me a hug
"It good to see you awake, you have no idea what we've gone though, Emmett wouldn't even crack jokes." Rose said.
Then Emmett came to me and gave me a hug also "good to have you back man. And Rose is stretching the truth. I couldn't tell jokes, because everybody was so sad." Emmett said.
I looked around the room more closely and notice that there were a lot of flower and cards and stuffed animal around my room.
"You guys got this for me?" I asked
"No, the Edward Cullen get well Fan club did." Emmett said with a laugh.
"The what?" I asked
"People from town heard that you were in a car accident and they sent you this stuff, and most of the stuff are from girls." Rose explained.
"You should read some of the cards, there funny; some of the cards ask you to be there boyfriends when you wake up." Emmett said with a laugh and everybody joined in.
"Why are you reading a card that is addressed to me huh?" I asked
"There is nothing else to do here, besides watching you sleep, and that gets boring after a while." Emmett said
We talked for a little bit more, before my dad came in to the room.
"Do you find out her name?" I asked
"Yes, her name is Isabella Swan. She was the only one that was gone from school the same time as you, but it seems she wasn't in school before the accident happened either. I called her house and no one answered the phone."
"What if her parents went on vacation or something, and they left her home alone and they don't know this happened to her." Rose said
"Well the people that live with her aren't her biological parent, there her foster parents. Apparently her mom died giving birth to her and her dad was murdered when she was seven years old. She has been going from foster house to foster house for the past ten year, the only people that kept her, were these one." Carlisle said.
"Oh pour thing." Esme said. While every one else were quiet
"But the reason why I'm here is to tell you that you can go home now if you wish." Carlisle said. I nodded my head, not sure if I could speak with out my voice cracking.
A few minutes later I was going home, I couldn't get Isabella out of my head. She had such a rough life; I couldn't even image what she has gone through. When I got home I went straight to bed. I was going to go see her after school tomorrow. I fell asleep thinking about Isabella and the accident.
I woke up the next day, and got ready for school. School was hell. All the girls wouldn't leave me alone. They kept asking what happened and asking if I was ok and if there was anything they could do, just to let them know. I could hear the double meaning in there words. I was just happy that school was over. We headed home in Emmett's Jeep. Once we got home, I asked my mom if I could borrow her car to go to the hospital.
"Why do want to go to the hospital, do you not fell well?" Esme asked
"I fell fine mom, it just I want to go visit Isabella that's all." I said
"Well ok, but be back in time for dinner ok?"
I nodded my head and left to the hospital. When I got there I went to go see my dad, just to say hi, and to ask him where Isabella's room was. He told me that they did everything they could do for her and now it up to her to do the rest. And at the rate she is going that she might not make it.
He told me her room was on the fourth floor room 413. I went where he told me to go. I was standing out side of the door, I couldn't get the nerve to go in there and see the girl that I hit. But after a while I opened the door and walked in. She was lying on the bed with tubes coming out of her. She had stitched on her head, you couldn't see her face to well, because there were bandage all over her face and it looked like there was a brace on her leg. I just stared at her for a while. I sat down on the chair that was next to her bed.
"I'm Edward Cullen and if you haven't already figured it out I'm in your Biology class, I'm your lab partner and I'm also the guy that hit you. I'm so sorry for that. I didn't mean to hit you, I wasn't paying attention where I was going I was thinking of this girl that has been in my mind since I first met her at the grocery store. But that's no excuse for me to hit you. I just wonder what you were running from, besides my brother. Oh yeah my brother Jasper was the guy that was running after you, but he wasn't trying to hurt you, he wanted to help you." I stayed quiet for a while, just looking at her and all the pain I must have put her through. I looked at the time to see it was almost time for dinner and I promised m mom I would be home by then.
"Well I have to go, but same time tomorrow I'll be here, that's if you don't mind. I'll take that silence as I'll see you to." God I must me going crazy.
The rest of the week, when I would come home I would take Esme's car and go to the hospital to visit Isabella. Over the week it looked like she was getting better. Some of the bandages were coming off and some of the bruises were going down. Going to the hospital was the best part of the day for me; I would take my homework and do it in her room. I would talk to her about everything and nothing, but mostly about the girl in the school that wouldn't leave me alone.
