A.N. Yes I know it has been months and I'm sorry, but I wasn't quite sure where I wanted to go with story but now I have a great idea so enjoy!

BPOV

Two days ago I was completely infatuated with Edward. His green eyes pierced my soul, made my heart fluttered, and made speech almost impossible. In my eyes, Edward was everything I wanted. He made my heart fly; I have never felt this way before. The spine tingling feeling soon dissipated. After one stupid comment from my stupid mouth he completely changed.

Edward was no longer warm and friendly, and those green eyes soon turned stone cold. So, in my mind I did the logical thing. I left against my brother's better judgment, in order to avoid those new onyx eyes. How could I have known the horror that was awaiting me at home?

My quick decision changed everything. James was there waiting for me, and as I expected he wasn't here for my body. No, he was here for something far worse…. My blood.

I had readily accepted my fate that I was going to die the second he got on top of me. The amazing thing was, I wasn't scared that I was going to die. It was that I would never see Edward's beautiful face again. That was a fate worse than death. See although death is permanent, Edward was not. I really had no idea the length of time I was guaranteed with him.

Death could wait, but me being with Edward couldn't.

I awoke to the blinding fluorescent lights of my hospital room; you think if someone was in the hospital you could at least have the lights a little dimmer. My heart monitor beat a nice steady even pace. It was a shock to my system to hear it. I was alive, that's a plus.

I squinted my eyes and looked around the small room of the Pullman county hospital. My eyes stopped on my brother Jasper, he was fast asleep on the chair next to my bed his hand on mine. My heart broke at the sight of him. His hair was in disarray, his clothes crumpled and dirty. I lifted my hand to rub his arm.

Jasper's head shot up, so fast it almost flew off. He smiled, and it was then when I his bloodshot eyes.

" You're awake!" He exclaimed, I could see small tears forming in his eyes. "Bella how are you feeling?" I shot my brother an incredulous look. How did he think I felt?

"I feel like shit Jazz. How long have I been out?" He pursed his lips. A flittering thought passed by that somehow I was asleep for months but I shook my head dismissing the thought.

"About two days." He said quietly. He waited for me to react, I could feel his eyes on me but I couldn't look at him. I decided to focus on the flowers that were on the table by Jazz.

"Who are those from?" The vase was over flowing with whit lilies, and lavender. It was beautiful; lilies had always been my favorite.

"Edward brought them." He said quietly. "Bella…" He started to say something but was quickly cut off.

"Bella?! Guys, come in she awake!" She yelled out the door before running to my bedside. Alice was so excited that she was bouncing, I was afraid she was going to burst at any second.

"Hey Ally, what's up?" I asked trying to get her to calm down. Fat tears spilled down her alabaster cheeks, she brushed my hair out of my face.

" Bella I'm just happy I get to play Bella Barbie once again." She said trying to lighten the mood. There was a tentative knock on the door before the boys walked in. Emmett walked in first, a goofy grin on his face. Then came the only boy that mattered to me. Edward walked in, his hair in worse shape than Jasper's and a defeated smile on his face. My heart fluttered and I hoped he couldn't tell, but then I heard the monitor speed up and I winced.

"Hey Bella what's kicking?" Emmett flopped down on the armchair opposite of Jasper and kicked his feet up on the end of my bed.

"Me, surprisingly." I snorted at my joke, but the rest of them stared at me mouths agape. "What?" I shrugged my shoulders innocently.

"That wasn't funny Bella." Edward said quietly from his post by the door. I glanced over in his direction, his face held a tortured expression.

"I think we should let Edward and Bella talk." Jasper said before motioning for Emmett and Alice to leave the room. The all filed out closing the door behind them. I hated Jasper for leaving me right now. I sat there waiting for Edward to move, or speak, or do anything.

"So… I can't believe I ended up here again. I mean I hate hospital food." I said out loud hoping he would just say anything. I could see him grimace.

"Bella, do you have no regard for your own life?" He said snidely.

I was shocked. I had never heard anyone be so blunt. I thought about it. I've never really thought about the value of my own life. It was something I took for granted, but really who didn't.

"What are you getting at?" He sighed, and moved closer to the bed.

"What I'm trying to say is, if you really did care you wouldn't be cracking jokes when you almost died!" I winced at his harsh tone. He was seriously going to stand there and tell me that I didn't value my life. He had some nerve.

"Don't tell me that I don't value myself. What do you even know about what happened anyway?" I snapped. Edward snapped. He began to breathe heavily, pacing the floor. He then walked over to the chair that Jasper was just in and threw it to the other side of the room. I winced having flashbacks of two nights ago. It was becoming difficult for me to breathe. I was getting increasingly lightheaded.

"Stop." I choked out. He completely stopped and came over to my bed.

"I'm sorry Bella, I'm so sorry." He took my hand and rubbed soothing circles on the back of it trying desperately to calm me down. "Bella." He sat down on the edge of my bed. "I was the one who found you." He spoke in a broken whisper. My heart tugged hearing the sadness in his voice.

"You did? What happened?" He brushed my cheek.

"I was coming over to talk to you, when I got to your apartment door I heard screams. I tried repeatedly to open the door. I started to panic so I broke it down. I couldn't hear your screams anymore, which worried me even more. And then I saw you…" He stopped and I could see the hurt in his eyes. "He was standing over you as if he was pleased with what he did. I began to scream at him, which scared him and ran off. I would have chased after him, but at that point my only concern was you.

"There you were lying on your bedroom floor in a heap. There was so much blood, and you weren't really breathing." He was speaking fast. I could his voice wavering. "I got so scared on the way to the hospital, Bella they said they couldn't locate your heart beat. You almost died on the way." He put his head in his hands. I pulled them away from his beautiful face.

Tears flooded his face; his eyes were red and bloodshot. It reminded me of Christmas. Edward, the man I wanted more than anything had saved my life.

"Edward you saved my life. If you hadn't come over I would have been dead. Thank you." Now, I too was crying. The thing is I wasn't crying for myself, no I was crying for the angle next too me. I cried for the hurt he felt. If he hadn't of been at my apartment he wouldn't be feeling this way.

"Edward what were you coming over to say anyway?" He cocked his head to the side as if to say 'you're really asking me this now?' He sighed, and shook his head.

"Bella I came over to apologize." My heart clenched at his words. He was apologizing, when I acted no better than him.

"Bella, the way I acted was deplorable, there was really no excuse. I mean is that anyway to treat the girl I like." I froze. What? He liked me?

"You like me?" I pointed to myself to emphasize, making sure I heard correctly. He nodded his head slowly.

"Bella you are the most beautiful girl inside and out. I've liked you since the moment I met you." He stared directly into my eyes, his green ones boring into my soul. I blushed, and looked away from him quickly. "And that blush!' He threw his head back. "That is the most beautiful sight in the world to me."

This all couldn't be real, could it? Stuff like this just doesn't happen. I just got hospitalized from my psycho ex, and now the most beautiful man in all of Washington just told me he liked me.

"Of course if this is too soon for I completely understand." He lowered his head trying to avoid my gaze.

"Edward, I like you too." He smiled and rubbed my cheek with his hand, obviously trying to avoid the bruises that had most certainly formed on my face. I laughed at the irony of the situation. Edward seemed to understand and joined in with me.

We both sat there laughing like two idiots. I had a gigantic grin on my face, but I couldn't care less. I was ecstatic. Well up until my doctor knocked on the door and insisted on killing my buzz.
