20-Bruises

"Sorry for waking you guys up." I mumbled to them as we made our way inside.

"Nonsense Bella. This isn't your fault, sweetie. Don't worry about it." Esme quietly assured me. Carlisle led Edward and I upstairs to his office, which was all set up and ready for me. When Edward set me down on the couch, he took his place next to me and held my hand gently. I laid my tired head on his shoulders and tried to answer Carlisle's questions for the next few minutes. I winced some when he examined my head and wrist, but managed to hide most of the pain.

"Okay, well it looks like you have a mild concussion. You won't need any stitches but your wrist is sprained. I'm going to wrap it for you. Edward, can you go get the Ace Bandage from my medicine cabinet?" Edward nodded, squeezed my hand and left the room. Esme took his place next to me and Carlisle looked at me warily. "Bella...is that all that happened? Jacob pushed you down and kissed you?" He didn't believe me....I guess that's because I was lying a bit.

"Y-yes. Edward and Josh showed up before anything could happen. He was about to....but Edward stopped him." Esme took my hand and gave it a light squeeze.

"I'm going to go get you something to change into, okay hun?" Esme left when I nodded. Edward came in then and resumed his position at my side while Carlisle tended to my wrist.

"Okay, now you've got some scrapes on your back. I need you to take your jacket off. Edward can leave if you want."
I laughed a bit. "Edward's seen me all day in this swim suit. I think we're good." I smiled at him to prove I was okay with it. I unzipped the thin jacket I was wearing and Edward helped me take it off. Edward and Carlisle both gasped when they saw the hand shaped bruises marring my skin. I looked away from them and felt a few tears fell down my cheek.

SO, I'M BACK FROM MY VACATION....BUT THERE WAS A BIT OF A PROBLEM.
MY COMPUTER IS THE ONE OUR INTERNET RUNS THROUGH, AND I LOST THE CD TO SET UP THE MODEM SO I HAD TO LEAVE MY LAPTOP HERE WHILE I WENT HOME. I DID WRITE SOME, BUT I WAS BUSY HANGING OUT WITH MY FAMILY (YES, I'M LAME) SO I DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH FREE TIME. THIS WAS A SHORT CHAPTER I WROTE WHILE AT HOME, I JUST TYPED IT UP FOR YOU...I'LL BE UPDATING SOON.
