I thought I would remind you guys that your votes in my poll are just suggestions but I still want some votes.

Edward looked down at me as he deliberated and I could feel the hope in my eyes. He smiled tenderly "Of course, I'll stay." He whispered and I smiled at him as I laid my head on his chest so I could still see his face. Edward pressed a button to turn off the lights in the ceiling but turned on the lamp so the room was still dimly lit. "Good night, Bella." He murmured before humming the lullaby he always sang to me at night. It wasn't long before sleep overtook me.

The next morning I woke up to bright green eyes watching me. Edward. "Good morning" He whispered in a voice that made it seem like he was trying to make himself seem less scary. I felt my eyebrows pull together but everything came flooding back when I looked around the room and realized we weren't in his room but in the hospital. I buried my face in Edward's chest and breathed in his scent to scare away all the bad memories like I always did, but when I changed my position the pain between my legs made me cry out softly and Edward panicked. "What's wrong, Bella?" He carefully moved me so I was looking at him. His eyes showed nothing but concern for me and I was touched by how much he cared, even after he knew what had happened. I remembered that right before I had passed out after being attacked I had worried that Edward, my best friend since we were toddlers, would still care for me like before it had happened. I had completely underestimated him; I had worried that Edward, always sweet and loyal and loving, would believe that after something like this I wouldn't be worth his time. The thought made tears well up in my eyes and Edward watched me with confused and still panicked eyes. I hugged him tightly ignoring the pain it caused and he hugged me back.
"I'm sorry and I'm fine, just sore." I winced and Edward pulled back to lie on the pillows like last night and I put my head on his shoulder. He looked at me curiously but he didn't need to say anything; I knew what he wanted to know. "For still caring about me even after …." I took a deep breath and continued "some people would have left if something like this happened but you didn't, you still care about me and I don't know what I did to deserve someone like you. I actually worried that you would leave and not want to be even near me anymore."

I watched as tears formed in Bella's eyes as she explained her apology. She was so selfless. She was saying sorry when I should be the one apologizing for not being there to protect her from that (insert swear word of your choice here) who attacked her. It pained me to see her like this and I put my finger on her soft lips to stop her apologizing and kissed her forehead gently. "No apology needed." I murmured "But I still feel …. there's not even a word for how bad and guilty I feel for not being able to stop this from happening but my promise to help you through this is still valid and I'm going to help you no matter what it takes. You know how stubborn I am and how when I put my mind to things, whatever
it is, it's going to happen if I have anything to do with it and I have a lot to do with this."She smiled and thanked me again. I nodded and stood up to lay her on the bed.
"Where are you going?"She asked with worried expression.
"To get breakfast and to get you books and guitar; I miss you singing and playing."I grinned crookedly and her eyes brightened at the idea of playing music. "I'll be back in about thirty-forty minutes. If you need anything just press the call button and a nurse will come." She nodded and I walked towards the door.
"See you later." She said as I closed the door behind me.

I sighed after the door closed. Now I had to find a way to entertain myself so my mind wouldn't wander too much. After a couple minutes I picked up the remote that was sitting on the side table and hit the power button. All of the sudden, very loud voices filled the room and my head snapped up to look at the source of the noise in the corner of the room. It was the TV and I quickly turned it down and started to surf the channels.
After a while I decided on a movie and I watched as Tyler and Nora danced together and began to trust each other and then lose it just to work for it again in Step up (I love that movie!)Half an hour later at about ten o' clock (in the morning) Edward came back carrying my guitar, a couple books, and a bag with some eggo waffles in it. "Hey." I smiled at him and he smiled back, crookedly which made me suck in a breath like it always did.
"Hey." He put the bag on my lap and set the guitar on the ground so it leaned up against the side table and the books were laid down on the top of the table. "What are you watching?" He said looking at the TV.
"Step Up." I answered as Edward sat down in the chair next to the bed. We both snacked on the waffles as we watched the last forty or so minutes of the movie together, I must admit, I was impressed with the final showcase, it was a really good movie. Edward tossed the now empty waffle bag into the trash and I asked him to hand me my guitar. He took it out of its case and gave it to me along with a pick.
I tuned it for a couple minutes before starting a song I'd written called The Rain(Pretend she wrote it and you can listen to it here/watch?vXtIN9jsdqCM its Ana Free and I think it's a good song.)It took less than a minute for me to get completely caught up and I closed my eyes as I let the music flow around me and I went off into my own little world that only musicians had the key to. The song seemed to relate to what had happened pretty well actually. (To me music is pretty much sacred so do not make fun of how I view it!)

I watched as Bella got absorbed in the music. I loved her when she was like this, no one else had ever seen her play music but that was the only time you could see the true Bella the side of her that no one
knew but me. I'd only heard this song a couple times but it was one of my favorites, she didn't have very many songs but they were all amazing and I loved her singing as much as she loved to sing. I'd tried to get her to sing to other people but she never wanted to, she said it was our thing because I played piano for no one but her and my family too. That answer had two effects on me, one: I was sad that she didn't think she was good enough to have other people hear her and two: I felt important, because I was that special and important to her that she would share her singing with me of all people. I listened to her play the last minute or so of the song and she opened her eyes to watch me as she sang:
"I hope your momma never sees you, cryin' like that in your bedroom.
And I hope your daddy never finds out, cause then you really gotta speak out.
And I hope you have friends to help you and they know what your goin' through,
And I hope you find a way out, baby the rain is comin' down,
Baby the rain, baby the rain, baby the rain,
Baby the rain is comin' down, baby the rain is comin' down, baby the rain is comin' down."Bella finished the song and smiled at me, I grinned back at her.
"Remember when you wrote that song?"I asked and she nodded. We'd been in my room sitting on the couch as we looked out of my window wall. We hadn't said anything for over an hour and a half, the only sounds in the room were Bella strumming on her guitar and the rain pattering on the window when Bella had started playing with more of a purpose than before and she started singing. She had written the whole thing in her mind as we sat there; it was the first song she'd ever written and the first time I'd ever heard her sing.
