DISCLAIMER: All things Twilight are owned by Stephenie Meyer. I do NOT own Twilight.
Detailed Summary:
Isabella -Bella- and her brother Emmett Swan, find out that they are moving to a boarding school in a remote part of their home country, South Africa. Bella and Emmett arrive two weeks early to settle in. In two weeks you can make best friends and make enemies. When school starts Bella is instantly popular and is already friends with the Hale's and the Cullen's. All the girls are jealous of Bella and are out to get her. The boys of the school are out to get her too, but they are out to get with her. High school can be hell and with bitches like Tanya Denali and Lauren Mallory, but what makes it worse is that they are in the wild where nobody can hear you scream.
Authors Note: So I wrote Chapter 2 in Edward's POV, and I only did a bit of Chapter 3. So I decided that I would be super nice and write the rest of Chapter 3 from Edward's POV. Sorry if it's a lil late. I had a crappy week and didn't write much. I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 4, Part 2. Nightmare. EPOV.
To say that I was worried was an understatement. I was utterly frightened. Not for myself, but for Bella. If you think that I was bad, you should have seen Emmett, he was hysterical. He said that Bella had never been unconscious for this long. Ever. Emmett also said that the longest she had ever been out for had been one hour. And it had just passed two hours.
Emmett was pacing the room, Jasper had told him that he was going to wear a hole in the floor id he kept that up. Emmett had totally ignored that comment. Everyone could understand why Emmett was so scared. His little sister had another panic attack and she was still out cold. The doctor, Dr McGregor, said that she should wake up soon. They had out her on a drip because she had a slight temperature and because she had been unconscious for so long.
I still sat on the chair that I had moved to Bella's side. I had not left once since I had came in. And nobody tried to make me move, not even Emmett. We just sat there, hopeless. We couldn't do anything to wake her up. The doctor said that it might cause her to go into epileptic shock.
So we just sat there, waiting. Hoping the Bella would wake up soon. She had been unconscious for two hours and 25 minutes – yes I was counting – when something happened. We all had been so silent that when we heard Bella whispering we all were shocked. Emmett came rushing over to Bella from pacing and leaned down to her level to hear. I looked at Alice and she shrugged her shoulders. We had to let her wake up on her own.
"Jake," she whispered. My head snapped back to Bella. I felt a rush of sadness run through me when I realised that she must like this Jake guy. Or else she wouldn't have whispered this guys name.
The steady beep of the heart monitor increased when she said his name. We all looked at Emmett, hoping for an explanation.
Emmett looked at each of us in turn and then turned back to Bella. He looked at us again. All he said was, "She's having the nightmare."
If she said that guys name in a nightmare, did it mean that she didn't like him. My head shot back to Emmett when I realised something. He had said the nightmare, not a nightmare.
"The nightmare? So she has had this nightmare before?" I asked. All he did was nod. I looked at everyone and found that they all had looks of confusion on their faces. I was afraid to ask my other question, but I knew I had to.
"What is the nightmare about, Emmett?" I asked slowly. He looked at everyone then back to Bella, he looked at me then sighed.
"Listen guys. I know we're pretty close already, but the thing is...I don't have the right to tell. It's up to Bella. But you have to know that the nightmare isn't particularly a nice one, but what nightmare's are?" he laughed bitterly "She still has it, even after the help she has had. So please, don't bring it up. She will tell you when she's ready. And don't tell her that we had this talk, OK?" We all nodded. I knew from experience that people hate it when you pry into things that they are still not comfortable to talk about.
The heart monitors beep had settled a bit during Emmett's explanation, but it suddenly picked up again. Bella started thrashing in her hospital bed. I jumped out of my chair and moved it so Emmett could stand next to Bella. The doctor came in with a syringe in hand. He walked over to Bella and injected the liquid into the drip that went to Bella's wrist.
"Light sedative. It should calm her for a while. But it doesn't make them sleep any longer," he explained and walked out.
We heard nothing from Bella for fifteen minutes. We all stoop at the foot of her bed while Emmett stood right next to her. He seemed to be whispering something in her ear, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. Her voice was louder than before, she kept saying things like No, Please, Don't and then she shouted.
"JAKE, NO PLEASE. NOT AGAIN!" she shouted as she shot up in her bed. Emmett instantly wrapped his hands around her and was whispering to her again. She kept nodding her said and I could hear her sobs from the foot of the bed. Alice went up to Bella and also wrapped her arms around her.
It hurt me to see her cry. I had the urge to run to her and comfort her. But I resisted that urge. She hardly even new me, and I hardly even knew her. I wanted to learn everything about her though. But I still had that lingering feeling to comfort her. To say that it would all be OK. That I was there for her.
"Bella? Are you OK?" My head snapped up to Alice who had asked the question, then to Bella, waiting for her response,
"Um...yeah, I think so," she answered quietly.
"Guys? Can I just speak to Bella alone for a minute?" Emmett said, looking at us. We nodded and left to room without a word.
"What do you think happened?" It was Alice who broke the silence. She wasn't asking out of curiosity, she was asking out of concern. My little sister, she always thought of everyone. Even if they were rude, she was nice to them, until they were rude to her. She was still pleasant after that, but she didn't make a real effort to help them or be nice.
"I don't know, but we should give her space. Trust me, she'll tell us when she's ready," Rosalie said with a wince. Rose had experience in trauma. Her ex-boyfriend had raped her. She didn't want to talk to anyone but Jasper. After she had dealt with it for a while, she told Alice and I. What happened after that I was not proud of. I was so angry I punched the wall, Jasper said that he did the same. So, Jasper and I tracked down that monster and beat him to a pulp. Then took him to the police where he confessed everything. Rose was shocked at our actions, but was thankful to have that creek not lurking around the streets. She has slowly gotten over what happened, but we still hear her sobs. She tries to be strong and acts like nothing is wrong, but we know her all to well, and we see through that masquerade.
"Rose is right. Give her time. We have to gain her trust, she has to want to tell us, we cant force her. If it is anything like what happened with Rose, she will need time to trust us and to be comfortable around us," Jasper said. The thing with Jasper was, he was quiet, but when he did say something, it was usually meaningful.
I was in a daze. I was utterly shocked. I didn't say anything, I just nodded. I was appalled by the idea of anything bad happening to Bella. What if she was raped? I was getting angrier by the second. I had to calm myself down before I did something that I would regret. I took a few deep breaths and I was calm again. I didn't notice much of what was happening around me.
Emmett came out of her room and nodded. We all entered the room quietly while Emmett went to find the doctor. Jasper and I sat on the chairs while Alice and Rose went us to Bella.
"You know you can tell us anything right?" Alice said to Bella.
"I know that, but I just don't think that I am ready to tell you yet. I know that we have only known each other for a little while, but I trust you both with my life. But this is something that I am not ready to tell anyone yet. Not even you two, but sometime soon, I promise, I will." she said looking them both in the eye.
I just sat in the chair quietly, not saying a word. My mind was blank. I noticed that Emmett came back with the doctor and that he was talking to Bella, but I wasn't aware of the words spoken. Not a word. When everyone nodded, I nodded. But why would anyone want to hurt Bella? She was so sweet and innocent. My mind wondered back to her nightmare. What had happened? I needed to know, so I could help her. He protect her. To save her.
I finally snapped out of my daze when we were leaving. I came back to the real world when I saw Bella. She had just come out of her room and was in the clothes that she came in with, not the hospital gown. Even though her eyes were red and her hair was messed up, she still looked stunning. I kept my eyes on her as I walked behind the rest of them while we made out way out of the school hospital. The truth was, I just felt this need to protect Bella, to be there for her when she needed me. I cared for her, dearly. And I wanted to be the one, whose name she whispered when she slept, dreaming happy dreams. I wanted her to be happy. No matter what.
In the back of my mind I had a feeling. That I would do anything for her, I just felt that I had to be near her. And I was right, even if I didn't know it right then.
