Clouds {Rosalie Hale}

Four Weeks

I woke up again. Everything was white and blurry. I tried to blink to clear up my eyes. When they finally adjusted, I saw I was in a hospital room. I turned my head to the left and saw the machines I was hooked up to, and when I looked to the right, I saw dad. His head was in his arms, on my bed, I think he is asleep.

I tried my best to move my hand and nudge him, I barely got a small tap in before his head shot up. Then I finally got a good look at him, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his beard was longer than usual, clearly, he hadn't shaved in a while and his hair was a mess.

"Hey bud." He said, running his hand through my hair, "How do you feel?"
"O..okay." It was hard to speak, my throat felt dry and scratchy, like I haven't spoken in years.
"Hear bud." Dad said handing me a cup of water with a straw in it.
I took a sip and felt the cold-water rush down my throat, it felt amazing. I cleared my throat and tried to speak again.
"I feel okay." I said, it wasn't the best, but it was as good as it was going to get right now.

Me and dad sat and talked for a while until Bella came in with mom. Bella had a boot on her right leg.
"Oh, my baby." Mom said coming by to hug me, the best she could without hurting me.
"What happened?" I asked mom, eyeing Bella, knowing she would tell me the whole story later.
"Well, when Bella ran off and you followed her, Edward, his dad and Rosalie tried to get you two to come back to Forks. When they met at your guys' hotel Bella fell down the stairs and through the window. They said when you tried to help her you tripped too and fell on a big piece of glass. It went straight through your side and hit two of your ribs, it almost punctured your right lung." Mom told me tearing up again.

I figured the last part about my injuries were true but the other wasn't. I remembered how I had gotten a chunk of glass in my side, I remembered how it had gotten so deep as to almost puncture my lung. And I remember how Bella had broken her leg. What I didn't remember was how we had gotten away from James and how we had gotten to the hospital.

"Yeah, sounds like us." I said to mom with a small chuckle, I winced right after though. My side hurt severely.
"Is your side hurting?" Mom asked
I only nodded a little.
"Okay well me and your father will go get a doctor for you then." Mom said as dad stood up with her.
"I'm gonna stay here with him, have a little twin talk." Bella told them as they neared the door.
"Okay" Mom responded as she shut the door behind her and dad.

"So, what really happened? Where's James?" I asked her.
"James is gone. After he attacked you for a second time, Edward showed up and tried to fight him on his own. James had gotten away from him long enough to bite me; he was trying to turn me. The pain was horrible, it wasn't like anything I've ever felt before. Everything was somewhat blurry and hard to hear after he bit me, my brain was to focused on the unbearable pain; Edward said that the others showed up. Alice, Emmett and Jasper took care of James. Carlisle and Edward helped me, and Rosalie helped you. She was able to stop the bleeding for a short amount of time." Bella said trailing off a little.
"What's wrong? I'm okay, aren't I?" I said grabbing her hand
"Yeah, you are, but I was so scared. You flatlined twice on our way to the hospital. I thought I was going to lose you." She said tearing up, one fell, and I wiped it off her cheek.
"Bells, I'm okay. I'm perfectly fine right now." I said to her
"Eli...none of us thought you were going to wake up." She told me, squeezing the hand I grabbed hers with.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"Eli...You were in a coma for four weeks." She told me

"What?"
