Disclaimer: I do not own these characters. Stephenie Meyer does and I love her for creating these characters and her story that goes along with them.
Bella's POV
I slowly opened my eyes but felt really weird. When my eyes finally adjusted to the light, I realized I was in a hospital room and there was a hot guy across the room from me sleeping…Well hot wasn't the right word to describe him. More like gorgeous which still doesn't accurately do justice either. Suddenly, flashes of images came rushing at me and I realized that this was Edward, my half brother Emmett's best friend. Well, one of them. There was also Jasper, then Rose, Emmett's girlfriend, and then, of course, the ever perky, shop-a-holic,Alice.
I tried to sit up, but a sudden sharp pain ripped though my body, making me out cry in pure pain before I could control it. Edward was beside me before I realized he had even woken up.
"Bella,…are you okay?" he asked in a desperate tone but I could not find my voice to answer him. I also did not know what to tell him, even if I could have found my voice. I was not sure why I was in this hospital and I was not sure why I was in so much pain.
"Do you need a nurse?" he asked even more desperately.
"I am fine I just tried to move and it really hurt…and I was not expecting it…Sorry, you can go back to sleep. I did not mean to wake you up." I felt really guilty for waking him up because his hair was mess, he had dark circles around his eyes, and his eyes where bloodshot.
"Don't be silly Bella…I am happy you are finally awake" and he stressed the word 'finally'.
"How long was I asleep?" I was truly confused because I still could not remember why I was in a hospital.
"Six days…"
"Oh…well how did I get here?…" I said, sounding stupid for asking. Who does not remember how they got in a hospital?
"You don't remember?" He sounded clearly shocked.
"No.."
"Oh…well…umm…." But he was cut off when I nurse came though door.
The nurse quickly went to my charts and looked at the machines and then asked "Would you like some medication for the pain?"
"Yes." I was glad she offered because it felt like the pain was getting worse by the second.
She turned around, got a huge needle, and turned around back to me. I cringed and started to try and move to the other side of my bed, but it hurt too much to move. To my surprise, though, she did not stick the needle in me but instead, just injected it into one of the IV tubes I was already connected to. I slightly relaxed at this.
"Mr. Mason, I am going to change her bandages now so if you will please step outside the room." I did not want Edward to leave, but I would never tell him that. Though, I was not sure what changing bandages entailed so maybe I did.
Edwards POV
I step outside of the room, likeI did everyday when the nurse changed Bella's bandages, but today I made use of the time I was waiting outside of Bella's room. Today I called Emmett and wanted to know what to do because Bella did not remember a thing about what happened. I was not sure if this was a good thing or not. Bella not remembering this traumatic experience was a good thing I thought, but I want not sure and knew that Emmett would want to know about this.
I pulled out my phone and called Emmett. his phone rang once before he picked up. "Edward?…What's wrong" Emmett was extremely worried about Bella and hated the fact that he had to go to work.
"Nothing Emmett…She is finally awake and fine,…but it's just that, well…"
"Spit it out Edward!" I could tell he was frustrated but I did not know how to explain my information… So, I just decided to tell him.
"Well, Bella does not remember why she is in the hospital."
"Wait, so Bella does not remember anything about Phil!?" He sounded ecstatic.
"Well, I don't know about that, but I know she does not know why she is in the hospital now."
"Oh..."
"So what should I tell her? She is going to ask me again why she is here…"
"I don't know…Let me call my dad and tell him about this and you call yours and ask him what he thinks about this and if it is necessary to tell her…because if she can forget all about Phil, or at least this one thing Phil did to her, I want her to."
"Okay…I'll do my best to avoid the subject."
"Okay. Thanks man. I get off work in fifteen minutes and then I will head down there to help you out and I will call you with what my dad said…and thanks again for spending all your free time there with Bella…."
"Don't worry about it. I know you would do the same for me and plus, Bella is my friend, too" In all honesty, I enjoyed sitting in Bella's hospital room, listening to her senseless sleep talk and the peace and quiet. I would enjoy it even more if it wasn't for the fact that Bella had been beaten to a pulp to get her here.
"Well thanks," and as Emmett said this, the nurse came out of Bella's room and headed towards me.
"I got to go Emmett. The nurse just came out of Bella's room."
"Okay. Bye" and with that I hung up with Emmett.
"Mr. Mason, the pain killer I gave Ms. Swan may make her a little, well, loopy. So if she is a little off don't be alarmed."
"Okay,…thank you," and I headed back into Bella's room.
Well as you guys can tell Bella is going to be very loopy next chapter so if you have any funny ideas of what she might say or do. I have some already but I want some of your input to add to my ideas. And of course if I use your ideas I will give you full credit of it…and even if you don't have an idea tell me what you thought of this chapter…thanks for reading…
