Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. Or anything really.
I pull my car up to the guest parking and turn it off. I have been coming to this hospital for two weeks now, when my parents caught a flu so severe that they had to be hospitalized. Luckily there are few doctors here at Forks Medical so I was able to make sure Carlisle, my uncle, would be their doctor.
I made my way inside the hospital, enjoying the walk in. It was August and surprisingly not too rainy today. I went up to room 104 where my parents were, contemplated knocking, but then let myself in. Carlisle was standing over my mother, checking her vitals.
"Hey" I said quietly, sitting on the small chair in the corner, my usual spot.
"Hi" Carlisle said back, glancing over at me. "Are you staying here overnight again?"
"Where else am I going to go." I whispered. "Theres nothing for me at home except for an empty house."
"Well you can always come stay with Esme and I, you know that" Carlisle interjected. When I showed no signs of replying, he sighed. "At least go in the room next door and use the empty cot there. Its bad for your back to be sleeping in that chair every night. The person in there is in a coma and I doubt they are going to wake up any time soon."
"Alright." I said, defeated.
It was late, probably around midnight, when I made my way into the room nextdoor to sleep. I opened the door, unsure what to expect. Laying there on the small hospital bed was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. She had wavy brown hair fanning out around her, pale ivory skin that glowed from the moonlight reflecting off the window, and perfect features. I walked over to her slowly and gently placed my hand on her hair, running my hands through it lightly. Next I trace her pretty cupids-bow mouth with my pinkie, then I run my finger down her nose. I was startled by how attracted I was to her, she was like an angel, but not as startled as when I heard a voice clear from the other side of the room. I jumped and whirled around, staring into the darkness. It was Sarah, a nurse. I sighed in relief.
"Her name is Isabella Swan" She said, coming into the light.
"Pretty name." I said quietly, sitting beside her bed.
"I thought you would think that." She smiled.
"So whats the story?" I asked. "How did she get in here? How long has she been in a coma?"
"Well we don't know much really. Only that she was driving from her mothers house in Arizona, up here to Forks to live with her father. On the way here, she stopped in a hotel in Oregon, probably to stay for the night. She fell down two flights of stairs and went through a window" The nurse said. "Im surprised she even made it. Anyways she just got transferred to this hospital a couple days ago."
"Oh" I stayed quiet, looking at the young girl laying next to me. "How long has she…?" I trailed off, not really wanting to know the answer.
"Not long" the nurse said "Only two months. But I think they will pull the plug on her soon."
"What?" I said in shock and horror. I know I just met this girl but for some reason I felt something. And hearing that they were basically going to kill her hurt me deeply. "Why!" I said loudly.
"Well her father has no health insurance, hes been paying for the whole thing from pocket. I don't think he can afford to keep it going much longer, based on his salary." The nurse said.
"Well you can't just kill her." I whispered, staring at the angel again. Isabella.
"Not my choice Edward. But I'll leave you to get some sleep. Goodnight." She said, closing the door with a click behind her.
"Uhmm." I looked over at the gorgeous brunette I was still sitting next to. "They say that coma patients can hear what your saying to them? I don't know how true this is, but here goes. My name is Edward Cullen, I turned eighteen last month, right before my parents fell ill with the influenza. At first we thought nothing of it, then when it got worse, they went to the doctor. He sent them straight to the hospital. And I guess im scared because they are all I have. My only other family is Carlisle and I don't want to burden him with me. Him and his wife Esme just got back from their honeymoon, that wouldn't be fair." I said quietly, all this time playing with her hand. I didn't know why but her presence alone made me want to tell her everything about me, to be closer to her. So I did. I told her everything about me, good and bad. I talked to her into the early hours of the morning, before I fell asleep with my head resting right next to hers.
What do you think? Love it, hate it? Should I continue? Review please, I need your opinion =)
