"What? You called Charlie and Phil?" I ask. I'm not really mad. I just hate myself a little more for causing them more worry.
"Bella, I was so scared. Of course I called them. I found their numbers in your phone. I'm sorry if I overstepped any boundaries." He looks worried about what my reaction will be.
"No, thank you for calling them. I'm not mad at you, just myself. They worry about me and I just keep disappointing them."
"Hey, don't be like that," Edward tells me. "I guess I should also let you know that they both are planning to come out here. Your dad just called again before you woke up, saying he would be here later today. Phil couldn't get a flight out until tomorrow."
Edward and I talked for a little while longer until a nurse came in, saying that I needed rest. I began to protest, saying I was fine but yawned as soon as I opened my mouth.
"Is it okay if I let Rosalie know what's going on?" he asks, standing up. "I know she would want to come see you."
"Oh. Yeah. I guess that would be okay. Can you not tell her why I'm here though? I'd rather do that myself."
Edward agrees, and when I wake up two hours later from my nap, Rose is there waiting for me.
"Bella!" Rose's voice is full of relief when she walks in the room and sees me.
"Hey," I greet back. I can't help but notice that Rose looks like she was crying.
"Are you okay? Edward called me and told me that you were in the hospital, but he wouldn't tell my why. What's going on?"
I tell her to sit down.
Then I tell her everything.
Well, not everything, but the Readers Digest version.
When I'm done, she's silent.
I think I've scared her off, but then she surprises me.
She leans forward and hugs me tight.
The rest of the fic will be posted by Thursday. It's already written out.
I'm not sure if I'll do an epilogue or not. I'll leave that up to you guys to decide when I post chapter 100.
Thanks for reviewing!
