BPOV

My phone started obnoxiously buzzing, waking me from a dead sleep and I cursed whoever was calling me at this late hour. It was so late I didn't even bother looking at who was calling.

"Hello?" I asked in a sleepy voice.

"Bella! It's Tony" at this I sat straight up and looked at the clock.

3:03am.

This was not the call I wanted from the Cullen kids.

"Tony what's wrong?"

"Mya and Dad got into a huge fight and Dad went chasing after her but I don't know what happened and now the hospital's calling to asking to talk to an adult but no one is here and I'm sorry but I didn't know who else to call" He sounded frantic and downright terrified. His sister and dad were missing and the hospital was calling his home. My heart ached for him.

"Okay I'll be right there. Stay with the twins and if the hospital calls again tell them to call my phone okay? But you can't tell them I'm not family. You have to make something up, understand?"

I heard a soft "yes" and told him that I would see him in a few minutes. I immediately jumped out of bed, threw on a pair of jeans, a sweatshirt and put my hair in a ponytail and ran out the door with my purse and keys. It took me 15 minutes to get to Bellevue. Stupid 520 toll be damned.

When I got to the house it was eerily quiet. I called Tony and he came and answered the door.

"You okay?" I aked him

"Yea, the hospital called again. They need you to call them back. I told them you were dad's fiancé and that's why your last names are different. I'm sorry it was the only thing I could come up with"

I gasped slightly and took what Tony said in stride. Pretending to be Edward's fiancé was the last thing I wanted to do but right now all that mattered was the young boy looking at me scared shitless. So I dialed Harborview Medical Center and prayed for the best.

"Harborview Emergency. How may I help you"

"Hi my name is Bella Swan and I was told to contact you guys in regards to Edward Cullen. I'm his fiancé" I nearly choked on the word but somehow managed to get it out without sounding like a dying cow.

"We've been trying to reach you for quite some time. Unfortunately I'm not authorized to give out any information over the phone so you'll have to come in. This is a pressing matter however so I wouldn't wait until later today."

I ran over the scenarios in my mind. They all blurred into one big mass of long black hair, a piano and tortured green eyes.

"I'll be there as soon as I can"

"Okay Miss Swan. I'll tell the front desk to be expecting you. Come in through Emergency and someone should update you as soon as they can"

"Thank you"

I glanced over at Tony who was on the phone with someone. He hung up and told me it was his grandparents and that they were on their way over to watch him and the girls.

"Are they okay with me going to the hospital?" I hadn't thought to call any of Edward's family. But then again I didn't know if he even had any.

"Yea they just want to know what happened. My grandpa's a doctor so he's trying to get information from the hospital but patient information can't be released over the phone or something stupid like that" Tony looked a little more relaxed at this point so I told him that I was going to head over to the hospital and call him as soon as I had heard something.

I briefly remember telling him to call me when his grandparents arrived so I would know that he and Jaden and Gretchen were safe.

By the time I got to the hospital I was a nervous wreck. When I got to Emergency there was already a doctor waiting for me.

"Hi are you Bella Swan?"

"Yea I am. Can you tell me what happened?" I was dying of curiosity but battling the nerves that were rolling around in my stomach.

"From what we understand, Mr. Cullen had gone to pick up his daughter from an undisclosed location and the two were in the car on I-90 on the Bridge heading away from Mercer Island when a drunk driver hit the Cullens from the rear and ran them into the wall on the passenger's side. All the airbags in the vehicle deployed and the drunk driver was killed on impact. I wish I had more information from you burtMiss Cullen is in surgery and Mr. Cullen isn't speaking to anyone about the incident. I strongly encourage you to speak with him about what happened. PTSD is very probable in a situation like this and with his background that percentage increases tenfold. You're welcome to wait with him. He's in room 333"

"Thank you doctor" I sat there in a daze. How could this have happened? Albeit I now knew how it happened but I still couldn't wrap my mind around it. I was numb. I didn't want to feel anything because I knew if I did I would just break down and that wouldn't be helpful for anybody. Tony was depending on me, the twins were depending on me, I couldn't let them down.

I called Tony and told him that Mya and Edward had been in a car accident but that I didn't know how bad it was because I wasn't allowed to see them just yet. I didn't want to lie to him but at the same time I left out some of the finer details. I spoke to Carlise, Edward's father and told him what the doctor told me. He said he would try to find out more information and thanked me for going to the hospital. I told him that there was no need to thank me and that I loved Mya and Edward with all my heart. By the time that slipped out it was too late for me to take it back. It was true. I loved them and would do anything for them. I just couldn't get Edward to see it that way.

I wandered down the hallway to 333 and was mentally preparing myself for what I was about to walk into. Was he going to be upset? Angry? Crying? I doubted it would be the latter but it was still a possibility. I knocked lightly and opened the door to find Edward staring blankly at the door, with a slightly shocked expression on his bruised face. He had a cut on his right eyebrow that looked like it had stiches in it. His left arm was in a cast and he looked pretty bruised.

"Hi Bella"

And with that I was hooked all over again.
