Previously: "I still love you more." He told me.
"How bout a tie?" I asked him.
"Sure." He said simply.
Bella's POV:
The rest of the school year went by smoothly. Tanya moved to Italy which was a great relief on my part. Edward and I were happy as ever, Alice and Jasper, and Rosalie and Emmett as well. I've gotten a bunch new to my collection of clothes from my many shopping sprees with Alice. Most of which were against my will. I've really grown close with all of them. Jasper and Emmett have become my best guy friends (besides Edward of course) and Rosalie, Alice and I were always having sleepovers and gossiping about the news we heard around school. And today is the first day of summer break!
There is a big parade today at Port Angeles and I really wanted to go! There was going to be a bunch of my favorite bands there like Secondhand Serenade and Muse, but for some reason Edward was being stubborn and didn't want to take me and Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett already had plans.
"Come on Edward please?" I pleaded him.
"Bella, why are you so set on going to this thing? There is going to be so many people there." He told me trying to reason.
"Fine, if you wont take me I'll go on my own." I really didn't want to go out to Port Angeles by myself but Angela said she'd be there so maybe I'd run into her. Right when I was about to grab my keys Edward's hand stopped me.
He sighed and said, "Fine, I'll take you, but I'm driving."
I gave him a quick peck on his lips before saying, "Thank you!"
Once we were in the car I said, "So what was everyone else doing today?"
"You mean Alice, Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper?" he asked me.
"No, I meant Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and a Leprechaun." I laughed, "Yes Alice, Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper."
He laughed along with me. "Well Emmett told me that he had to help Rosalie baby sit her devil cousins again and Alice and Jasper are going to Jasper's house for lunch with Jasper's family."
"Oh that's cool. And we are seeing a parade! Why didn't you want to go?" I asked him curiously.
He sighed, "I don't know, I just don't really think you'll have a lot of fun. I mean I know you like those bands but the chance that we will even get close enough to see them is very slim." He told me.
"I know, but I'd be mad if I didn't even try to see them." I told him smiling. He took my hand in his as we continued to drive.
We had been driving for about 15 minutes listening to Edward's CD's. "So Bella, what song are you looking forward to he--." Before he could even finish his sentence a big, black truck flew into the front of his car and was just about to hit it.
This brought back bad memories. I screamed and yelled, "Edward!"
He tried to swerve so that the car wouldn't hit us at full force. He had a panic stricken face, "Bella! I love you!" he yelled through all the panic.
"Forever and
always!" I yelled back. And then everything went
black.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard the sound of a heart monitor as I started to wake up. I opened my eyes and saw that Alice was standing over my bed with tear streaks running down her face. She saw that I was awake and yelled, "Mom! Jasper! She's awake!"
Both of them too looked as if they had been crying. "Oh Bella darling, how are you feeling?" Esme asked me with concern.
"Sore." I answered simply. "Where am I?" I asked. And when I looked around I realized what had happened.
They all looked at me and Alice grabbed my hand. I couldn't speak, the only word that came out of my mouth was, "Edward?" And they caught on to what I wanted to know. And as soon as I said that name their faces dropped even more.
"Where's Edward?" I asked my voice shaky. I didn't get an answer, "He lived didn't he?" I felt tears dripping down my cheeks.
Esme nodded, "He's alive but in critical condition. You two were hit by a drunk driver and the truck hit Edward's side of the car. He had a concussion and some other stuff and is in a coma right now, he hasn't woken up yet." Esme was fighting back tears as were Jasper and Alice.
"W-w-well shouldn't you be with him? I feel fine, go be with him!" I told them, if he was really that ill they had to be with him not me.
"Honey, honey, its ok, Carlisle, Rosalie and Emmett are with him now, they would only allow a certain number of people in each of your rooms. So we split up."
All I did was shake my head as tears slid down my face; Alice took my right hand while Jasper was on my left and took my left hand. "This is all my fault." I mumbled mainly to myself.
"This is not your fault Bella!" Alice told me as she held on my shaking body.
"Yes it is!" I cried, "He didn't want to go to the parade but I got him to go! If it wasn't for me he would be okay!" I was now in sobs.
"I think we should tell Carlisle she's awake, just to take a better look at her." Jasper said to Esme.
"Good idea, I'll call him up to the room. I'll be right back." With that Esme left me with Alice and Jasper.
Alice sat down next to me, "Bella, it's not your fault, things like this happen. I'm sure he'll be okay." She said while rubbing soothing circles on my back, she laughed a half-hearted laugh and said, "Besides he's Edward, he'll pull through, he's strong."
Jasper nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, he's a fighter!"
I nodded, "Wait, you said he was in a coma, how long have we been here?" '
"Not long, we got a call yesterday like an hour after you guys left telling us what happened, you've both been knocked out since then but obviously you're awake now." Alice said, stopped for a second then continued, "If only Edward was too."
"Gosh this is my fault!"
"Stop saying that!" Jasper told me, "I don't like hearing you say that, you're like a sister to me and Edward is like a brother, I know he wouldn't want you to think this was your fault."
"That's true Bella, Edward would really hate hearing you think it was your fault, besides he's going to make it." Alice told me triumphantly, "I just have a feeling and have I ever been wrong?"
"Well there was that one time you thought you saw me with another girl…….so you hit me across the face and the girl turned out to me my cousin." Jasper told her.
"That's besides the point Jazzy! This one I'm certain about, I know he's going to be okay."
"I just hope your right." I told him and then the door opened. "Carlisle!" I exclaimed when he came in.
He looked exhausted, "Hey Bella, how are you feeling?" he asked me.
"I feel fine but how's Edward doing?" I asked him completely not caring about myself.
"Bella I won't lie to you, he's not doing good. He's on a breathing machine now and at this point hasn't shown any signs of waking up." Carlisle wasn't crying now but I could tell he wanted to.
I was speechless, "When will I be able to see him?" I asked wanting to see him so badly.
"I'm not exactly sure; it shouldn't be too long though. If you haven't noticed look at your leg."
I really hadn't noticed anything; I was too much in shock to feel anything but soreness. I threw the cover from over my leg to see both my legs covered in an inch wide bandages. "What happened?" I asked now feeling the pain.
"Well, when the car crashed into you a big metal piece seared its way into your leg. You were very lucky though, it didn't break either of your legs but you did get lots of burns because there was a slight fire in the cars. Nothing of quite damage though, you wont need crutches or anything but your legs may feel wobbly at first. The reason you slept as long as you did was because you hit your head. You got a pretty good scratch on your head that was infected but it should be better now, just sore."
"W-w-wait." I said trying to think of words to say.
Jasper and Alice were no longer by my side; they were now talking to Esme about something that I couldn't hear.
"Yes Bella?" Carlisle asked me.
"S-s-so, practically nothing is wrong with me while Edward is in critical condition?"
All Carlisle did was nod. I started to sob, "Why does God hate me so much?" I asked to no one but now Esme, Jasper and Alice were looking at me. "First my parents die, in a car crash and now my boyfriend is in critical condition because of one? It's just not fair! I know people that never have one single family member hurt but me? No this is just over the top!"
"I think you need some rest. Why don't you guys go get something to eat and give Bella some space?" Carlisle said.
Jasper and Alice came over to me and gave me one last hand squeeze before leaving. Once they were gone I asked Carlisle, "Honestly, please answer this honestly, how much of a chance does Edward have?"
I could see Carlisle's face drop but he didn't answer.
"Carlisle!"
He sighed and two tears fell from his eyes, "About 50-50, there really is no positive number right now."
I nodded but couldn't make words, "Alright, I think you need some rest, if you need anything just press this red button," Carlisle pointed to the button near my bed, "and then a nurse or doctor will come to you."
I once again nodded and once Carlisle left, cried myself to sleep. This time I woke up to see Rosalie and Emmett. They must have traded with Jasper and Alice.
Even big strong Emmett had tear stains running down him cheeks, Rosalie as well. They hadn't noticed I was awake so I whispered, "Hi guys."
They jumped at my voice and then smiled, "Hey, your awake." Rosalie said in a quiet voice. She came over to me and gave me a soft hug. Emmett did the same.
"Any news on Edward?" I asked.
"Not so far." Emmett told me look completely out of it. No wonder though, it's his brother. I've never seen Emmett like this before; he is always the one that's chipper and happy about everything. Thinking of that made me feel like I wanted to cry but no tears came. I don't think I had any left in my body.
I nodded and said, "I want to see him."
I meant for it to be under my breathe but Emmett heard and said, "Do you want me to try to get Carlisle to let you see him?"
"Really? Can you?" I was really anxious to see him. I needed to see him.
"I can try……….but Bella, he doesn't look like himself, I'll tell you that." Emmett said with brotherly concern in his voice. Emmett had really become a brother to me.
Once Emmett left Rosalie sat down next to me and said, "Emmett's right, Edward really doesn't look like himself. He's really pale—well paler than normal." I tried to smile at her joke.
"I don't care what he looks like, I need to see him." I stopped then continued, "By no means would I wish this on anyone but if you were in my position and Emmett was in Edward's wouldn't you do anything to see him? Rose, he's my boyfriend, first love! I am seriously in love with him. I would do anything for him and if I could switch places with him I would in a heartbeat."
"I can see where you coming from," Rose nodded.
The door opened and Emmett and Carlisle came in. Carlisle was the first to speak, "Emmett here has convinced me to let you out of your bed a little earlier than I am suppose to." I smiled at this.
"How many people are in there now?" I asked.
Emmett spoke now, "No one right now. Except the nurse that checks in every half hour or so. Esme took Alice and Jasper down to the food court to get something to eat."
"Are you ready to go see him now?" Carlisle asked me.
I nodded, "As ready as I'll ever be." I told him. Carlisle helped me get up and made me rest my arm on his shoulder. Rosalie and Emmett went to join Esme and the others downstairs while I went to see Edward; they told me I could have some time alone with him.
We were outside the door and Carlisle said, "Ready?"
I nodded my head and when I opened the door I gasped at what I saw…
