He turned to the closest EMT for a second opinion. I tuned him out to consider the jumble of inexplicable images churning chaotically in my head. When they'd lifted me away from the car, I had seen the deep dent in the tan car's bumper — a very distinct dent that fit the contours of Edward's shoulders… as if he had braced himself against the car with enough force to damage the metal frame…

And then there was his family, looking on from the distance, with expressions that ranged from disapproval to fury but held no hint of concern for their brother's safety.

I tried to think of a logical solution that could explain what I had just seen — a solution that excluded the assumption that I was insane.

Naturally, the ambulance got a police escort to the county hospital. I felt ridiculous the whole time they were unloading me. What made it worse was that Edward simply glided through the hospital doors under his own power. I ground my teeth together.

They put me in the emergency room, a long room with a line of beds separated by pastel-patterned curtains. A nurse put a pressure cuff on my arm and a thermometer under my tongue. Since no one bothered pulling the curtain around to give me some privacy, I decided I wasn't obligated to wear the stupid-looking neck brace anymore. When the nurse walked away, I quickly unfastened the Velcro and threw it under the bed.

　　他明显没有相信我的感觉，转向离他最近的一个紧急医疗救护员问了第二个人对我受伤程度的判断。我把他放到了一边，去想那一堆杂乱无章地浮现在我脑子里的无法解释的画面。他们把我从车边上抬走的时候，我看见那辆棕红色小汽车的保险杠上有一道深深的印痕--一道非常独特的印痕，与爱德华肩膀的轮廓正好吻合……好像是他用了很大的力，撑靠在车上把那个金属玩意儿给弄凹了。……

　　接下来就是他的家人，远远地站在一边，表情各异，从反对到盛怒，但就是丝毫不见对他们这位兄弟安全的担心。

　　我试图想出一个合乎逻辑的答案，来解释我刚刚见到的这一切--来排除认为我神经不正常的臆断。

　　自然，救护车由一名警察护送到了县医院。他们把我从救护车上抬下来的整个这段时间，我都感到很可笑。更可气的是，爱德华却可以轻而易举地溜出病房，自由活动。我咬紧了牙齿。

　　他们把我放在急救室。急救室是一间狭长的屋子，里面摆放着一溜病床，床与床之间由一些蜡笔画图案的帘子隔开。一名护士在我胳膊上绑了一个血压袖带，在我舌头下面放了一个体温表。既然谁都懒得拉上帘子给我一点儿自己的空间，我想我也就没有义务戴那个傻乎乎的颈托儿了。护士走开后，我三下五除二，扯开了维可牢搭扣 ，把它扔到了床底下。
