Chapter 2

Edwards Point of View

I carried Bella bridal style to my car. She had fell unconscious after she fell at her house. I strapped Bella into the passenger seat and started driving at top speed. Then a moan came from her.

"Bella, love, can you hear me?"

"It…" she didn't finish her sentence but I wanted to keep her awake so I continued talking to her. "It what love?" she moaned in pain again and said "it hurts." I felt sorrow for her she was pain. "I…want to go and lay down for a…little…while" she told me weakly. "You can lay down when we get there" I told her softly. "Get where?" she asked. "To my house, I am taking you to Carlisle." She was silent for a minute and I thought she fell asleep but then her eyes opened and I saw fear cross her face. Fear? Why was she scarred? "No Edward. Take me home" she said weakly. "Bella, I can't. You're hurt, you have to go. Why don't you want to go see Carlisle?" I asked her. I saw her cheeks turn a light crimson, as she blushed with embarrassment. "I…" but before she could finish her sentence she fell unconscious again. She fell into a deep slumber and after about five minute's she started talking in her sleep. "Scarred of…" I waited patiently for her to continue. "Needles…don't want to…go." Realization hit me then that was why she didn't want to go see Carlisle. She was scarred of doctors. As much as I wanted to give her what she wanted she needed to see him. She was injured. I finally got to the house and brought Bella into the house. I noticed no one was home except Carlisle and Esme. She was the first to great me.

"Oh dear, Edward what happened?"

"She fell down the stairs at her house when the lights went out."

"Oh my, well Carlisle is in his office."

I carried her to the office and Carlisle was already getting everything prepared. "Alice called me and told me you would be bringing her. Just lay her down on the couch son." Once I laid her down Carlisle began to exam the damage Bella did. "The cut is too deep for me to bandage, she'll need stitches." I sighed, how will Bella handle this, she hates getting stitches. Maybe she'll stay asleep for most of the procedure. Carlisle turned to look at me.

"Edward, she'll be fine. It's just a deep cut, that's all."

"I know she'll be fine but I heard her sleep talking in the car and she was saying that she was scarred of needles. And before that she was refusing to go to you but she was hurt."

"Well, I don't want her awake for that then…hmmm….I'll give her some anesthetic. It'll keep her asleep for about 15 minutes while I stitch up the cut." So I saw Carlisle move around in his bag and he pulled out an injection. He wiped her arm off and then gentle slid the needle in so as not to wake her. And once that was done Bella would stay asleep. Then Carlisle began working on the stitches. He worked quickly from one side of the cut to the other making flawless moves. And once he finished cutting the tread Bella started to stir.

"Bella, Sweetheart?" I asked her.

She moaned and looked at me, "Edward? Is that you?"

"Yes, love it's me."

"Where am I?"

"You're at my house. You fell and I brought you to Carlisle so he could fix your cut."

"The cut…" and she went for the cut that was no longer there and replaced by stitches.

"He finished already." She sat up on the couch and looked around. Carlisle was just outing away his medical bag as Bella looked at him.

"You took quite a fall, Bella. The cut was very deep." Carlisle told her.

"I know…I fell when the lights went out. Thank you Carlisle."

He smiled at her and I heard in his thoughts, you're welcome, my baby girl. "You're welcome Bella." He answered. I looked at Carlisle and smiled. He already thought of Bella as a daughter.

"Come on, Love. I'm sure Esme made you something to eat."
