4 Mysterious Circumstances

The day seem to start off pretty normal. I got up to get ready for school. I didn't feel like eating Captain Crunch today. So, I fixed myself two scramble egg and a hotdog.

I was happy to see Bella. Although, I didn't quite fit in with the group of friends that she had made. They didn't exclude me out of the circle of friends. I just became the quiet one.

Bella looked annoyed with herself today so I had to ask her what was wrong. She said she felt embarrassed because she was overly talkative with Edward yesterday. I patted her shoulder head in a you'll get over it gesture. But I didn't say that out loud.

"Sometime, it's like that when you meet someone that fascinates you. It would be best if you don't beat herself up about your teenage angst." I said to her while laughing. She gave me a look that meant you're a teenager too.

Unfortunately, I already feel like I live two lives and more. Although, I am a teenager currently. I've had my mid life crisis in my adolescence.

We got into her truck and I watched Bella slowly pull out the icy driveway. I couldn't help but I hold my breath. I was thankful we're alive. We drove to to school. On the way to school their was plenty of black ice, but this heavy chevy truck can handle it. I was kind of felt glad we were in it at that point. If we had been in has something flimsy. I'm sure would have went sliding across the road. At least that's how I felt. I don't know how Bella felt cuz she didn't tell me.

Well when we got to school. We stood by the truck looking around the parking lot. We slowly made our way to the back of the truck. I waited, as Bella struggle with whatever inner turmoil she was going through. I didn't want to intrude on her thoughts, so I patiently waited for her to get herself together. I notice the screeching sound of brakes. My back was towards the noise. But it was becoming loudly and closer. Bella looked up startled.

I honestly didn't see a way out of the situation it was happening so fast. But Then i pushed Bella out of the way. Next thing I know I could feel the impact on my body and a cut across my face. I don't even know when I hit the ground but I was down. Something was over me. I couldn't move to look for Bella. I noticed a handsome figure trying to move the othe truck. Alot of the other students ran over to help. I attention I was a bit dazed and dizzy. I didn't notice how fast people seem to be moving or how fast I was moved into a somewhat safe position. But i heard metallic groan, and glass shattering. I could hear it scattering across the pavement.

"Mireya?"

"I'm ok Bryant." My eyes were closed but i was certain of this body that was over me. "love me in one life, killed in one life, and rescues me in the next. we gotta stop these typea of occurrences." I whispered. But he heard me loud and clear. He covered the injury on my face.

"Bella! Are you ok?"

"I'm ok. I think, I just hit my head. when Mireya pushed me out of the way. Although she was talking to me Edward attention was on me. As they began to discuss what happened. It even sounded like they were negotiating. Bryant had eased me from underneath the trucks. He held me still. While putting pressure on my wound. I was truly hurt. There was a mass of confusion. Some people crying and some yelling. But all the students and teachers were scared about what could have happened.

As Bella tried to come over to my side to check on me. She was being held in place. She notice my eyes were closed and that Bryant was cradling her neck. When the EMTs arrived they the van had already been moved by the students far enough away to not be an obstruction. Well Bella was trying to refuse getting on the stretchers. I was carefully laid out and Bryant got into the EMT with me since he wasn't going to leave me alone. He was watching me to make sure i would be ok. I could hear Bella's father call her. before I could completely get put into the EMT'S van.

My mom was there behind Mr Charles. She said she would drive to the hospital behind the ambulance. She was afraid, but not as panicky as Bella's father. I had to give her a thumbs up for that.

I closed my eyes and I didn't want to move too much. Then i was out. While I was laid up in my room unconscious. Bella was meeting with Taylor Crowley. He was apologizing and explaining how he didn't notice the black ice. He's brakes didn't help. The truck was going too fast and he couldn't stop. He has saw her being pushed out the way. He went to see Mierys but she was unconscious. He couldn't help but feel completely upset about everything. Edward had pulled her up after she hit the pavement. she still wasn't completely out of the way. But Mireya was too close to impact to be pulled out of the way. No one noticed Bryant had embraced me to protect me as best he could. And laid me out underneath the trucks. But the way he explained it was he came over after everything was done to check on me. He noticed me under the trucks. And Started getting help to move them. Since everything happen so fast, plus the confusion. No one could confirm if he was telling the truth or not. I was well aware of how he tried to protected me. I wasn't sweating the small stuff. I was happy to be alive.

"Miss rice your daughter will be staying overnight for observation to make sure their is nothing else wrong with her. She does have broken rib, concussion, and a cut under eye and alot of bruising."

Bella had just come into the room to check on me and when she saw me she looks shocked she remembered that I was a lot closer to the truck than her. She sat quietly. Doctor Collins was letting Ms. Rice know about her daughter's condition. Then Brian strolled in behind Bella and went over to the bed. He didn't say anything. He just politely said his butt down quietly. Ms. Rice glanced at him, she didn't say anything.

I wouldn't have known that Bella was irritated with Edward. Although, she was glad to be alive, she was wondering why he didn't also try to protect me as well. Bryants part went unnoticed. Bella was no longer wondering how he got to her side or why. He had already been pegged as some kind of superhero in her mind. She wasn't questioning what he was. she just thought his priorities they were backwards for a superhero.

her questioning him also brought him back to the reality that Mireya was standing in front of Bella. He had got so caught up in being around Bella that he didn't realize Bryant's future wife wasn't in good shape.

Then Bella quickly added you'll deserve it if Bryant fusses with you. She also thought Bryant was a superhero. Birds of a feather kind of thing.

Bella went home with her father and Mr. Charlie. My mom stayed with me at the hospital overnight. Ryan stepped outside to talk to his adopted father Mr. Cullen.

"Bryant she's okay.

"I know I just don't want to leave her right now. I just found her I don't want to lose her again." He nodded in response.

"Are you going to be cool with Edward?

"I don't have any problems with Edward. I know he's focus on Bella. I know he's drawn to her so I'm not mad at him for protecting the one he's focused on. He doesn't even know how he feels yet."

"what about you, how do you feel?"

" I just found my other half and I could have lost her today. I don't feel good about this."

" Well how will she react about you being near her."

"Honestly she won't care. She has the tendency to not think too deeply into the things she doesn't understand. There's only a few main points that will ever matter to her. Marriage sex and family."

He went back into her room to announce he was going home soon.

"Bryant " I whisper He walked over to me and leaned down to hear me. Even though he hear me just fine.

"Thank you for today. I look forward to getting to know you again." I whispered.

He held me during the accident and I knew he was real. I breathed in his fresh scent and remember every time he held me and every life's embrace. Even when he whispered in my ear that he didn't want to lose me again. His word brought me into the reality of my situation.

I couldn't help but to think how unfortunate my lives were.

Married twice dead both lives. Here is a new life and i almost died before i even got that far.

I have a few goals for this life.

sex

children

marriage

And not in any specific order. They aren't major goals but their important to me.
