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.

医护人员又是一阵慌乱，又一张担架床推到了挨着我的那张病床边上。我认出来是政府学班上的泰勒·克劳利，他头上紧紧缠着血迹斑斑的绷带。泰勒看上去比我原以为的要糟一百倍。可他还在焦急地盯着我。
"贝拉，我真是太抱歉了！"
"我很好，泰勒--你看上去怪吓人的，你没事儿吧？"我们说话的时候，护士们开始拆他头上脏兮兮的绷带，只见他的整个额头和左边的脸颊都划上了无数道浅浅的伤痕。
他没理睬我的问话。"我当时以为会把你撞死了呢！我开得太快了，又误撞到了冰上……"护士开始给他搽脸时，他疼得肌肉都抽搐了。
"别担心了，你没撞着我。"
"你怎么会躲得那么快？你当时站在那儿，眨眼就不见了……"
"唔……爱德华把我拉开了。"
他一脸的茫然："谁？"
"爱德华·卡伦--他当时站在我身边。"我总是不善于撒谎；听起来一点儿都不可信。
