There was another flurry of hospital personnel, another stretcher brought to the bed next to me. I recognized Tyler Crowley from my Government class beneath the bloodstained bandages wrapped tightly around his head. Tyler looked a hundred times worse than I felt. But he was staring anxiously at me.
"Bella, I'm so sorry!"
"I'm fine, Tyler — you look awful, are you all right?" As we spoke, nurses began unwinding his soiled bandages, exposing a myriad of shallow slices all over his forehead and left cheek.
He ignored me. "I thought I was going to kill you! I was going too fast, and I hit the ice wrong…" He winced as one nurse started dabbing at his face.
"Don't worry about it; you missed me."
"How did you get out of the way so fast? You were there, and then you were gone…"
"Umm… Edward pulled me out of the way."
He looked confused. "Who?"
"Edward Cullen — he was standing next to me." I'd always been a terrible liar; I didn't sound convincing at all.

醫護人員又是一陣慌亂，又一張擔架床推到了挨著我的那張病床邊上。我認出來是政府學班上的泰勒·克勞利，他頭上緊緊纏著血跡斑斑的繃帶。泰勒看上去比我原以為的要糟一百倍。可他還在焦急地盯著我。
"貝拉，我真是太抱歉了！"
"我很好，泰勒--你看上去怪嚇人的，你沒事兒吧？"我們說話的時候，護士們開始拆他頭上髒兮兮的繃帶，只見他的整個額頭和左邊的臉頰都劃上了無數道淺淺的傷痕。
他沒理睬我的問話。"我當時以為會把你撞死了呢！我開得太快了，又誤撞到了冰上……"護士開始給他搽臉時，他疼得肌肉都抽搐了。
"別擔心了，你沒撞著我。"
"你怎麼會躲得那麼快？你當時站在那兒，眨眼就不見了……"
"唔……愛德華把我拉開了。"
他一臉的茫然："誰？"
"愛德華·卡倫--他當時站在我身邊。"我總是不善於撒謊；聽起來一點兒都不可信。
