Edward's Point of View

I sat there, motionlessly, next to my sweet, innocent, beautiful Bella. I never thought this would happen. Why would she put herself in danger like that? I left so that she could be safe. She promised me she would be careful, and now here I sit by her limp, unconscious body. But I leave, and she befriends a werewolf. As far as we knew, he hadn’t changed yet, but that may have been worse! One wrong move and she could have sent him into a blind, rage filled change. She would be killed! Luckily, somehow this hadn’t happened yet. I remembered seeing her in Alice’s vision. She was with that idiot werewolf Jacob Black.

She crashed her motorcycle– the motorcycle that he had given her– and hit her head hard enough to knock her out. We were sitting in the living room of our new house in Denali and in seeing the horrific fortune, I ripped the door off of its hinges out of pure rage and started running. Alice caught up with me a few hundred miles later, Carlisle trying to stay in tow. I agreed to go to our old house with Carlisle and wait for her there. Alice would come with Bella within the hour of returning to Forks.

I sat alone in my dark room for what seemed like hours, anxiously awaiting their arrival. When I saw her, my heart sank. If my heart were beating then, it would have died. She was bruised and bloody all over, and the worst was that she was obviously in pain from the whole ordeal. But her scent. God, her scent. It took me all that I had not to suck her dry right there in front of my family. I had forgotten how luscious she smelled. I could see that Alice was struggling as well because her head was bent as far to the side as it could be, trying to put as much distance between her and the beautiful liquid that ran through Bella‘s veins. Carlisle instructed her to place Bella in my room and when she did so, she left and he went to work.

Now I waited all too impatiently for her to wake up. Carlisle had regrettably informed me that she may have some brain damage. I pushed the dismal thought out of my head and gently grabbed her hand. I rubbed soothing circles into it and hummed her lullaby, as she had always loved. My time with her was ruined by a loud knock at the door. I heard Alice answer and welcome Jacob inside. I winced at the fact that the unstable monster was here but regained my composure as he walked through the door of my room. God, what I wouldn‘t give to crush him.
