Hey everyone. I come with a gift. Though some of you may not consider it a gift, being as it is the beginning to the end. I spent all day writing, and I have finished the story. No, not this chapter. But I will be posting both chapters together. That's right, only this two chapters until the end. As to whether I write outtakes, I don't really know. Unless there is something you all wish to see... I'll leave the final A/N for the last chapter. But I just wanted to quickly thank everyone who read/reviewed/favorited this story and I hope to see you on the next one I start.
See you at the bottom!
This is the Bella POV, of the night the accident happened. BE FOREWARNED. Some of you may not like it, as it does have the accident in Bella's perspective. I warned you...
SM owns my fantasy world.
Chapter 20: A Different Perspective
"You two be careful heading back tonight." Carlisle said to us as he hugged me.
"And you're sure you don't mind having Alyssa sleep over? We can take her with us if you'd rather have the alone time." I asked Carlisle and Esme.
It was Christmas Eve and I knew Esme would be having us back over for Christmas Day dinner. With her children and then all of my family coming into the mix I knew Esme would have to work extra hard to get dinner ready and I didn't want to impose Alyssa on them on their quiet evening.
"Certainly not Bella, I want some alone time with my little Aly, isn't that right Aly?" Carlisle turned to Alyssa who nodded her head like one of those bobble heads you see in cabs.
"Yep. Me and pops here are going to play tea party with Uncle Emmett."
We all started laughing as Emmett happened to just walk into the room in a huge bright pink boa and a blue sparkly tiara on his head.
"But Aly, I thought you and I were going to play tea party!" Emmett pouted and Alyssa giggled as she ran into his arms. She whispered loudly into his ear.
"Emmy, we can't let Pops out of the game. He'll get all sad and cry. I don't want to see him cry, do you?
We all laughed. Emmett looked at Carlisle who was pouting. He finally relented to Alyssa.
"Oh all right, but just this once. Then it's you and me Alycat.
Edward and I said our goodbyes and left for Edward's apartment. I wanted alone time so badly with my man. Edward pulled out of the driveway and we were finally on our way towards his home.
I turned the dial on the radio to a station playing Christmas music. I sat there humming the songs watching Edward tapping his thumbs against the wheel. I sighed contentedly at Edward. He turned to look at me quickly and smiled back at me.
"I love you, Edward." I told him. I placed my hand on his thigh and squeezed lightly.
He turned towards me and placed his hand on mine.
"I love you too Bella. So much."
I smiled back at him before looking out of the windshield. Bright lights were heading towards us and I screamed.
"EDWARD, LOOK OUT!"
"Wha… OH SHIT! BELLA! HOLD ON!"
I felt the car being struck by something hard. And Edward's hand flew across my chest, trying to hold me back against the seat.
"EDWARD!" I screamed as I watched the car careen over the hillside. I couldn't see anything vividly. Everything tilted the wrong way and I felt an impact on my side of the vehicle. My head hit the passenger window and I heard glass shattering roughly the same time. Everything got so dark. I couldn't see. I felt the car moving, the sounds all around us. Time was moving so slowly. I could hear noise on the roof of the car. We must have been flipping.
I felt us hit something hard. So very hard. I heard and felt a crack and the pain was excruciating. Oh, God PLEASE help us! I feel like I can't breathe. I can't catch my breath. Did we fall into water? Am I suffocating? I need to breathe, I feel so light headed. I still can't see anything and my whole body aches.
I'll close my eyes for a few minutes, maybe then when I open them, I'll be able to see again.
I could hear a noise in the background. What the hell is that? Sounds like someone talking… no, someone screaming? Did I leave the television on? I must be watching some movie. Meh, Edward will turn it off. I let the sounds disappear and went back to sleep.
I could feel myself waking slightly, in that area between sleep and awake. The noises were so loud then. I felt myself being carried. Edward must be carrying me to bed. Mmm, I feel so warm. I love being in his arms. He always keeps me so safe. I felt myself no longer being carried. I must be in bed. I wanted to tell Edward to turn the television off, but I couldn't get myself to move my lips. Oh well, it's so loud, I'm sure he'll get it.
I let myself fall back to sleep, waiting for my Edward to come back… Mmm, My Edward.
ARE WE OKAY!?
Yes? Oh, phew. Okay, while you might not be okay, you know what ends up happening, so technically you're alright.
I'm going to go ahead and head over to post the Epilogue now. So I'll see you all in a few minutes!
