Chapter Ten: We Have to Find Them! Part Two

Esme's POV

"Now, no one is stopping me from going to get Edward." Jim said before running from the building.

"BELLA!" I screamed.

We managed to get our hands untied quickly by a sharp edge thing on the wall. I ran over to Bella who was on her stomach, Alice found a knife across the room and handed it to me. I cut the rope off Bella's wrists and threw it. I carefully turned Bella on her back, she was gasping for air and shaking. Her shirt was soaked in her own blood.

"Shh, shh, it's okay. You're fine." I told her.

"T-Tell Edward.. Tell him, I lov-love him!" She gasped.

"Tell him yourself Bella." I told her.

"He sho-shot me! Tw-Twice!" She gasped.

I wanted to cry.

"Ali-Alice, we need something. We need to stop the bleeding." I said.

Rose and Alice gave up their jackets so that we could try to stop the bleeding. I bunched up Alice's first and placed it on Bella's stomach.

"AHHHH!" She screamed.

"I know, I'm sorry." I apologized.

She was crying now because of the pain.

Alice grabbed Bella's hand and squeezed it.

Bella screamed again as I gently pressed down on her stomach.

"I'm going to go see if I can find a phone!" Rosalie said.

"Be careful Rose! He could still be close!" I warned.

She nodded before running out of the apartment.

I dragged Bella on to my lap and held her in my arms, I brushed their hair from her face.

"It's going to be fine." I whispered.

I looked up at Alice who was crying, she wasn't only watching her sister bleed out, she was watching her best friend. I looked over to see if Rosalie was back yet, it wasn't looking good.

…

Edward's POV

BANG! BANG!

I looked at my phone, the line went dead right after gun shots went off.

"Dad!" I gasped.

"What?" He asked.

I told him about the phone call.

"There were gun shots dad!" I gasped.

"What?! How many?!" He asked.

"Two!" I said.

"Call Charlie! Maybe they found him and it was the cops were the one shooting!" He said.

I quickly dialed Charlies number.

"Edward?" He answered.

"Charlie! Did you find them?!" I asked.

"No, why? What's going on?" He asked.

"I got a phone call from him, and just before the line went dead I heard gun shots, two of them!" I told him.

"Oh no." He said.

I told him everything that Jim said on the phone.

"Edward, no one has found them. But let me promise you that we are going to speed things up even more now." He said.

I felt like I was ready to puke.

…

"No one has been checked in to the hospitals around this area." Carlisle said.

I was leaning against the counter trying not to breathe, or think, or do anything. I felt sick to my stomach and all shaky.

"Edward, try to relax. I'm sure he probably just shot the gun to scare the girls." Carlisle said rubbing my back.

"But what if he did shoot one of them? What if he shot Bella?" I asked.

"BELLA! BELLA! BELLA! That is all we hear! We have wives there too you know!" Emmett screamed.

"I know that!" I snapped.

"Do you?! Because you are acting like you don't even care!" Emmett screamed getting in my face.

"Back up!" I snapped.

"NO!" He yelled.

I pushed him, he growled before shoving me. We started to fight and hit each other, he grabbed my hair as I hit him in his face.

"ENOUGH!" Carlisle screamed.

He pried us apart.

"We are all worried about everyone okay!" He snapped.

"He picked Bella over the three girls!" Emmett screamed.

"So you are telling me that if you were in my position, you wouldn't choose Rose?!" I screamed.

He fell silent.

"So why are you getting all pissed off! I had to pick! It doesn't mean that I don't love them any less than Bella!" I screamed at him.

"I'm sorry." Emmett said.

"We need to stick together guys, we're no good when we are fighting each other and throwing punches." Carlisle told us.

We all nodded.

Esme's POV

"Come on Rose..." I said.

I looked down at Bella. She was extremely pale and she was having more and more difficulty breathing as the time went by.

"Bella.." I said.

No answer.

"Bella!" I yelled.

She jumped and opened her eyes a little.

"You need to stay awake." I told her.

"I'm tired..." She whispered.

"I know, but Rose is going to find help." I said stroking her hair.

"I w-won't make it..." She said before gasping for air.

"You will Bella, you just need to hold on. Do it for Edward." I said.

"Edward." She whispered.

I looked over to the entrance again.

"Come on Rose!" I growled.

…

"MOM!" Rose screamed.

She ran in.

"Rose! What is going on?!" I asked.

"I found help! We are in the middle of no where mom! That's why it took so long!" She gasped out of breath.

"We need to get to the hospital Rose! Bella isn't doing too good." I said.

"Bella." She gasped.

"Who did you find to help?" Alice asked.

"Some guy, he was driving and stopped when he saw me. He's waiting outside." She told us.

"Does he know his car might get blood on the seats?" I asked.

"Yeah, he said it's fine." She told me.

"Alice grab Bella's arm, we going to do the walking assist." I said.

We grabbed Bella, we each threw one of her arms around our shoulders. We each wrapped our free arm around her waist. She whimpered in pain.

"Stop." She cried.

"Bella, we have to get you to the hospital." I said.

"No. Please, stop. It- It hurts!" She said before screaming out in pain.

I sighed and stopped.

"We have to carry her." I said.

We managed to carry her to the car, I thanked the guy as we all climbed in.

"Forks Hospital go!" I ordered.

I heard Bella dry heave before starting to puke.

"Oh my god!" Alice screamed.

"Roll her, or she will choke!" I gasped.

We rolled her on her side, my heart sank when I saw blood in the puke. She was still bleeding out of both wounds and now she was throwing up blood.

"Mom, she's going to be okay right?" Alice asked.

"Yes," I said hugging Ali, "She is going to be fine."

…

"HELP! WE NEED HELP!" I yelled.

A couple nurses grabbed a gurney and ran over to us. We got Bella on the gurney and I heard a gasp from one of them. I looked over and realized that it was one of the nurses that knew our family pretty well, she must of recognized Bella as Edward's wife.

"Jamie. Jame! You have to call Carlisle! Please! Tell him that it's Bella! Please Jamie!" I begged.

She ran to the phone and dialed his cell phone number.

Alice, Rose, and I both ran after Bella's gurney as she was rushed into a room. I couldn't follow half the things that the doctors were shooting off, all I knew that they wasted no time hooking her up to machines and getting as much blood as they possibly could. The next thing I knew we were being pushed out of the room, I tried to fight it but I knew it was useless.

"Mom... I'm going to be sick!" Alice gasped.

I quickly pulled over one of those red hazardous things they put used needles in and held it open. I rubbed her back as she threw up all that she had eaten before this all happened. I handed her a cup of water that one of the nurses handed me. We were taken to one of those private waiting rooms they offered to families of victims that were seriously hurt. I sat down next to Alice who had her head in between her knees. I rubbed her back as I grabbed Rosalie's hand.

"Mom?"

I looked up to see Edward standing there almost in tears. Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett, Charlie, and a few police officers walked in. Alice and Rosalie jumped up and ran into their husbands arms, Alice immediately started to sob in Jasper's shoulder. I stood up and walked closer to Edward who looked like he could lose it at any minute.

"Mom.. Where is Bella?" He asked his voice shaking.

"Edward..." I started.

"He shot her didn't he?!" He asked.

I nodded.

He began to shake, and then the tears and loud sobs began. He collapsed to his knees as he covered his face with his hands and cried into them. I knelt down and hugged him as tightly as I could trying to hold my baby boy together, but he was just falling apart.

I looked up to see Carlisle watching us, I smiled a little to let him know that I was okay. He just nodded before turning to leave, most likely to go see how Bella was doing.

"How bad is it?" Jasper asked.

Edward sat up sniffling, he looked so broken.

"He shot her twice, once near the chest, and once in the stomach. She lost a lot of blood from the time he left to when Rose was able to find help. She wasn't looking good when we got here, she was pale and having trouble breathing. I don't know what could be wrong internally." I explained.

"Why did he do this mom?" Edward asked.

"Oh baby." I said.

I hugged him and he just lost it harder.

…

"So he kidnapped you when you were going home from shopping?" The cop asked Alice.

"Yes, and the shoes I dropped when he grabbed me cost me two hundred dollars might I add!" She said.

I couldn't help but laugh a little as I went to check on Rosalie.

"He came out of no where! I was just coming home from work when he grabbed me and took me to the apartment building." Rose told the officer.

"Esme." Carlisle said.

I turned around, I sprinted into his arms.

"How is she?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"..Carlisle? She isn't- She isn't dead, is she?!" I gasped.

"She is in bad shape. Her organs were shutting down and she lost a lot of blood. Edward and Jasper are finishing up donating his blood to help her." He told me.

"You said is, so she is still alive?" I asked.

"Yes, but we aren't out of the dark yet. She has a long way to go before she is fully recovered." Carlisle said.

"We can handle that." I said.

Edward's POV

I walked into Bella's room, she was in a private room in the ICU part of the hospital. They wanted to keep a close eye on her in case things got worse. I walked over to the stool that was by her bed and sat down. I reached for her hand and held it lightly, she started to move and wake up.

"Hi." I said when she looked at me.

"Hi." She said, her voice was all horse.

"I love you." I said.

She started to cry.

"Love! Please don't cry!" I gasped standing up.

"I'm so sorry!" She cried.

I hugged her the best I could with all these tubes and wires connected to her.

"What in the world do you have to be sorry about Bella?" I asked.

"This is all my fault!" She said.

"Love, this isn't in any way your fault! It's mine. If I hadn't blown off the meeting with this guy, none of this would have happened." I told her.

She shook her head and cried.

"Shh, babe calm down." I said.

I stroked her cheek and kissed her forehead.

"I thought I was never going to see you again!" She sniffled.

"Your fine though love." I said.

"I love you Edward." She whispered.

"I love you too." I told her.

She finally calmed down enough to drift off to sleep. The nurses said this was normal for her to come in and out of consciousness.

A Few Days Later

They had to put Bella in a medically induced coma, the pain had become so intense that her heart failed and she had to be shocked a few times. The doctors said they were going to bring her back either tomorrow or the next day, but that didn't stop me from camping out at the hospital.

"Edward." Dad said.

I looked at him.

"Go home son." He said placing his hand on my shoulder.

I shook my head, "I'm not leaving her."

"She's safe here Edward, he can't touch her here." He told me.

"I still don't want to leave her." I said.

"You need to take a shower Edward, go home, get some sleep." He said.

"She's here because of me dad, she is laying in this hospital bed because of me." I whispered.

"This isn't your fault Edward. This is no one's fault. We didn't know that this psycho was capable of this." He said.

"Did he seem capable of it before?" I asked.

"Even when we first adopted you he didn't seem this bad." He told me.

I looked at Bella.

"I will keep an eye on her Edward. Go take a shower, get changed into some clean clothes, and try to get some rest. I will call you if something changes." He said.

I sighed, I knew she would be in good hands, but I didn't want to let her out of my sight. I finally listened to him and went home to shower. I tried to sleep but that didn't work out so well, so instead I straightened up the house. I made it a note to ask Esme if we could stay at their house until Bella was recovered enough, just so someone was there to watch her when I had to work. I grabbed my keys to my car before rushing back to the hospital, I hoped this was the last time either one of us had to deal with this guy...

So there you go! Will Bella make a full recovery? Or will more things go wrong?
