Edward's POV
"Where are you?"
"I'm almost there. Just give me a second." I replied. I was rushing through the halls, being careful not to bump into patients.
"Look, if you're not here in less than 30 seconds, I swear I'll rip your...oh good. You're here!" she said with a huge smile as she shut her phone. I smirked and leant against the wall.
"So why'd you call me here, Alice?" I asked.
"Well, I thought you might be interested that Bella is in the hospital right now..." My eyes widened and I stood up straight.
"What? Is she hurt? I need to see her," I realised I had lost my cool as Alice grinned at me, "Uh, I mean, I was going to welcome her to the town and all..."
"Don't give me that crap, Edward. I know you like her." She smirked.
"Hey, that's my smirk! Don't use it! And how do you know about that?"
"Hello, I can see the future dumbass!"
I slapped my forehead. "Ah, I keep on forgetting that," I sighed. "I can't like her, Alice. Do you know what I am? I'm a vampire; a monster. Isabella would run away from me if I she ever found out what I was,"
"Firstly, she likes to be called Bella. Secondly, I can see you like her a lot, and I won't tell you what I have seen but your future does involve her so don't worry. And I won't tell anybody, especially the family," she smiled, "Also Bella's not that one who is hurt so don't be so depressed. It's Gabriella Martin who is in the hospital." Alice told me with concern.
"What, the girl with AIDs?" I was shocked.
"Yeah, and she's not doing well, so I suggest you don't try your 'moves', as you called them, on Bella. It's not the right time." Alice advised, leading me to the ward.
"Fine, but what do you mean by 'moves'. I got moves." I said as I ruffled my hair.
Alice rolled her eyes, "Yeah, any girl would die for that."
"I'm glad you agree. Now I'm going to go help Carlisle," I said, ready to go into Gabriella's room.
"Are you just doing that to meet Bella?" Alice asked with crossed arms.
I sighed, raising my hands in defeat.
"You got me!" I smirked and went through the doors into the ward.
Gabriella's POV
I watched Bella as the hunky doctor examined me. I have been blessed with a doctor this good looking! Well, not really since I got this disease in the first place. I never realised how time had gone so quickly. I still remember when the doctor told about my diagnosis like it was yesterday. Now I am almost close to death. I am scared. Bella has made my last few weeks the best ones of my life. Since my parents disowned me, things had been so... hard. I can't think of another word to describe the pain.
Thank God that Mrs. Gardiner, my neighbour at the time, let me stay at the foster home she worked at. I have loved it there, as the kids didn't ridicule me because of what I had. I was so happy that I was going to get my own apartment, but now I might not after all. I will never get married, get my dream job, or have kids. Unless scientist people came up with some superfast treatment, then I could do all those things. But that's unlikely.
Tears escaped my eyes, and I wiped them away vigorously. I had to say strong. Dr. Cullen gave me a sympathetic look and smiled. I smiled back at him and felt better. Wow, even his smile could lighten up a person's mood.
Bella hugged me, not saying a word. I hugged her back; I could feel her trying to hold in her tears. I told her not to cry, and not to worry. She looked scared too and a bit freaked. When Doctor Cullen came in she looked like she had seen a ghost. I don't blame her though, he's gorgeous.
Suddenly, someone burst through the door. He was beautiful, his face was so pale but so...wow. He had messy hair, shining in the light in its bronze glory. He was hotter than the doctor! Wait a minute, I knew him from somewhere. I suddenly realised that it was Edward Cullen. At school, he and the rest of the Cullens and the Hales never talked to anybody. Why didn't I realise that Dr. Cullen was their dad? I looked over at Bella and she was just staring at Edward, her mouth shut closed. Her face was hilarious! Edward smiled at me and looked at Bella. He reflected her face but almost just a second after he went over to Dr. Cullen.
"You need any help?" He asked.
"Actually, I was about to leave. But maybe you could these lovely ladies some drinks, son." He suggested.
"Uh, yeah sure." Edward nodded.
Bella's POV (Sorry for switching lots of POVs guys)
I felt flustered. My heart was banging away. The young man who just walked in was perfect. His skin was perfect, like marble. His eyes were sparkling like topaz. He reminded me of the god Adonis; he was a God from the heavens. I had never seen anyone like him. His perfect lips were moving and he was looking right at me. I couldn't even breathe. I was snapped out of my trance when I felt a nudge in my side. I realised it was from Gabi, and I saw the young man looking at me.
I then realised he had been asking me a question.
"Umm, do you want anything to drink, miss?" He asked. I was astonished by his velvet voice.
"Oh, I'm fine thanks." I said politely. I looked down as he asked Gabi for a drink too.
"I'll have water, thanks. I'm Gabi," She introduced herself and lent out her hand to him. He smiled, my breathe hitching yet again, and shook it.
"Edward," He replied.
"This is Bella," She said, as my eyes widened. I gave her an angered look but it quickly went away when he took me hand.
"Nice to meet you, Bella." He grinned as he kissed me hand. I think I just shit in my pants. I opened my mouth in shock and tried to get some words out.
"Umm, thanks." I smiled.
"I've seen you at school, Edward. Sorry I haven't talked to you though." Gabi said to Edward. He goes to our school? Why had I never seen him before?
"No, it's cool. I'm sorry about..." He sighed.
Gabi nodded, knowing what he was talking about. I still had not been told about why Gabi was in here in the first place. I knew she was dying, because of her numbers, but I still wanted her to tell me the truth.
"I don't really want to ask you Gabi, but I still don't know why you are here. I'm worried about you." I stuttered.
I wish I hadn't asked her as Gabi began to cry. I ran to her side and hugged her. I noticed Edward on the other side of her, comforting her.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't cry. It's hard you know," She cried. I hugged her tighter, feeling terrible.
"Shh, you don't have to tell me, Gabs."
"No, I have to. You're my best friend, Bella. You're like my family now. You're all I have now," she hesitated, whilst wiping her tears away. "I have AIDs, Bella."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
