Chapter 1: Waking up.

A/N I have never been in a car accident in which I lost my memory so I don't know if any of the medical stuff I write is true. If you know better than me then please feel free to comment and tell me what I'm writing wrong. I will try to put it right! Also, sadly, i do not own Edward, or any of the characters in this story. Thanks, ChocoTiger xx

When I woke up, I felt funny. My head had a dull thudding sound echoing through it and I could feel scratchy material over my hair. I tentatively stretched my fingers and toes. Nothing wrong there. I moved onto my arms and legs. Everything was fine there too. I opened my eyes slowly. At first everything was just a blur. But then I began to see shapes. People. They were moving slowly. Some of them looked like they were wearing a uniform of some kind, others looked more casually dressed.

Finally my eyes focused, and I saw a group of people standing just off to my left. A lot of them I didn't recognise but I did recognise my mother.

"Mum?" My voice was weak, and croaky, but she heard me and was instantly by my side.

"Oh, darling! You're awake. I'm so glad. I've been so worried!"

And then in the distance "Call Alice. She's woken up at last." Who was Alice? "Where am I?" I asked.

"You're in hospital sweetie. You were in an accident. You've been out for 10 days."

Well, that answered my next question. I noticed a man standing behind my mothers shoulder. I say man, because at first glance he looked older, but when I looked closer I figured him to be about the same age as me. He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks and his bronze hair was tousled. I guess if I had been caring at that point I would have said he was handsome.

He noticed me staring and slowly walked round to take the hand my mother wasn't currently patting. But his hand didn't feel right and so I pulled away.

"Bella?" His voice sounded musical. "Bella, it's ok. You're safe. Carlisle is looking after you. And Alice will be here soon." That name again. It stirred something in my memory. "Bella? Are you ok honey?"

I frowned. Why was this man I didn't even know calling me honey?

"I'm sorry. But who are you?" I whispered.

I watched as his facial expressions went from relief to pain and concern.

"What is she talking about? Bella, it's me, Edward."

Now I was even more confused. I was sure I didn't know anyone called Edward.

"Am I supposed to know who you are?"

"Sweetie." It was my mum who spoke now. "Edward is your boyfriend."

As I looked into his eyes I searched for something I could recognise. Something that I would remember. But there was nothing. I couldn't remember who my boyfriend was. What on earth had happened to me?
