Bella's POV
I heard a distant beeping that was slowly getting louder and louder and then I started to see light and fuzzy shapes. About a minute later I could make out that the funny shapes were machines and the beeping was coming from one of them. Then the smell hit me and I knew exactly were I was….A hospital. Only I could not remember why I was here and then that too hit me. It was because I took a handful of my anti-depressants after I talked to that arrogant doctor! All the pain that she had made me feel felt like it flooded back into me and I felt a wave of rage take over me. I began to thrash in the bed and pull wires and tubes out from my arms.
The machine started to beep a different sort of beeping and I was suddenly being pushed down by two sets of strong arms. I pushed back with all the force I could and kicked and screamed while tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Bella STOP" a rather familiar voice said in a desperately pleading voice.
It caught me so off guard that I actually stopped kicking and for the first time looked at who ever it was that was holding me down and saw that it was Emmett and Edward. Both of their faces were distorted by lack of sleep and worry.
But before I could say anything 3 nurses came rushing in and removed Emmett and Edward from holding me and where strapping me down to the bed.
"Stop" Edward cried.
"Sir I am sorry but we have to sedate her before she hurts herself or someone else." One of the nurses said with no sincerity or compassion.
"But she is not going to hurt herself or anyone else she just woke up and was disoriented." Edward retorted. "And you are not her doctor so therefore you can not inject her with that sedative without her doctor's approval since she is of no immediate danger to herself or anyone else."
With that the nurses had no response and slowly exited the room. Edward and Emmett crossed the room back over to me and undid my restraints.
"Thank you" I said unable to look at them.
"Bella do you want to tell us what is going on?" Emmett asked
"Nothing I am fine."
"Most people don't define fine as overdosing on anti-depression pills and having a seizer…oh and being in a hospital!...Bella please tell me what's going on or tell someone anyone…I know your mother just died and I'm sorry we all are but there is something else going on and you need help and that's what older brothers are there for to help…so Bella please talk to me." Emmett pleaded with me. I wanted to tell him but I knew I couldn't, I knew Phil would kill him and the rest of my family if I told him. Just like he killed my mother. The words that were written on the note next to the cell phone he left on my mother's body flashed though my mind.
I told you not to lie to me you filthy whore and I told you I don't make threats I make promises and so consider this me delivering on my promise. Now you better not tell anyone about this or I will take the life of another one of your family members or maybe that boy you seem to be so fond of. They are all safe as long as you do as I say and speak to no one of our arrangement. Take the cell phone I left and hide it somewhere but always have it with you because if you miss one of my calls you will have another person's life on your hands.
A promise I intend to keep!
Phil
Well for all of you who had not already picked up on the hints in the previous chapters…yes Phil killed Renee! If you have any other questions please ask because I have gotten a few comments from people confused so I am sure there are more people who are confused…but to answer the most common question…No Phil never went to Jail because he left the house before the police got there (that is in chapter 17 of Don't Touch Me.) and Bella thought up until she found her mothers body that Phil was in Jail because no one ever told her any different. But please ask if you don't understand anything.
Sorry it took so long to update but I had finals and was on vacation…unfortunately I will not be updating from the 1-3 because my band is playing at a winter retreat but hopefully I will update at least one more time before I leave…. well I hope you all had a Merry Christmas or Hanukah or what ever you celebrate and have a happy new year…but I think I will update at least once before the new year but just in case I don't HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
