Being With You Chapter Two
(Alex POV)
The next morning I looked around my room feeling like someone had went through my stuff, but nobody was here. I looked at the time and all the breath in my lungs was gone. I was late to school again! I have got to use my alarm clock from now on. I ran down the stairs and grabbed a muffin before checking on my sister and went out of the house thankfully remembering my back pack and flute.
I arrived at school just in time for the warning bell and then went into A.P English. I looked around and saw that Seth wasn't there. Thank goodness because yesterday when he suddenly arrived at my door he kind of scared me. It felt like he was stalking me. I looked to my left and saw another huge Quileute guy sitting next to me. I don't remember him sitting there before. "Hey you must be Alex. And I thought you were a boy when Seth first told me." The guy said and started to laugh rather loudly.
I am not a boy! "Seth told you what?" I asked quietly. The guy looked really nervous for a moment and then told a lie. "I uh Seth just said there was a um new student here." He stammered and I had to suppress a groan. What did Seth actually say? Did he say there was a new student named Alex that he hated? And why does that make me feel bad?
"Okay everyone it's time for you to work on a story of a supernatural creature! Get to work!" the teacher said who was way too enthusiastic for the morning. Since Seth wasn't here I guess he's not going to sit by me while I work on a computer. The door slammed open and Seth ran into the room looking tired and happy once he saw me. What's up with that? "Sorry I'm late ma'am, but Sam Uley had me working late last night so I didn't get much sleep." Seth excused and gave the teacher a slip. So Sam was the guy who was at my house which got Seth angry.
I heard a rumor that Sam was a cult leader and that definitely explained Seth's behavior.
Seth sat next to me to work on the computers I was lucky to get a seat at and he kept apologizing about being late. "Can you just work please?" I asked irritated and he instantly went quiet. Once I started to write a story about werewolves and how a girl made a wish to become one and actually the wolves were evil and hated mutts like the girl. I have no idea where the story came from, but I think it might actually be a good one. "What's your story about?" Seth asked and I didn't pay any attention to him. I was too absorbed in my writing that nothing could pull me out except for the bell.
When it rang I had written a whooping five pages and Seth followed me out the door. "So you like to write and read. You must have a lot of books in your room." Seth said and we both froze. "How do you know that?" I whispered feeling pretty spooked. "Uh you brought a different book to school today." He explained, but I knew he was lying and didn't really feel like knowing the answer. Well I do have a lot of books, but I can't remember telling him that. I could just have accidently brought a different book.
During lunch I forgot my lunch money so I was stuck sitting at an empty table doing nothing at all. I kept feeling somebody staring at me like yesterday and saw that Seth was actually the one staring at me. What is up with him and staring? Shadows fell over me and a really squeaky voice sounded out. "So this is Alex Wolfe. I'm not so surprised. She is of course a boy after all." A girl in a really short skirt said and anger filled me, but also sadness. It's not my fault I hate to parade around half naked like her. I never said that out loud because I do not want to face the wrath of the Shunning of my classmates.
I looked down as her friends laughed at me. "Well just listen here dude. Stay away from my Seth or I'm going to hurt you." She threatened and I couldn't help, but cower away from her. I nodded my head really fast and they left after spilling some water on me because they wouldn't be caught dead having milk. I looked up when a chair toppled over and saw Seth being forced out of the room by two guys while Seth was shaking really hard.
What is the matter with him again?
Right after Seth left everybody could hear thumps and crashes coming from out in the forest and then the loud speaker went off with a loud squeal. "Will Alex Wolfe go to the office please?" asked the principal. All the students turned to look at me as I got up and they all oohed at me like I was in trouble. I feel like I'm in something much worse than any normal trouble. Right before I left, I noticed that somebody left an apple in my back pack. Where did it come from? Well I'm not eating it because I hate apples and for all I know it could be poisoned.
The principal stared at me when I went into the office and I looked down to see my shirt covered in water. Man am I glad that I decided against the white shirt to wear. "Oh I um spilled some water." I said and looked down hoping he bought the lie and he did. "Oh okay then, but I have to tell you something tragic. Your mom was in a bad car accident and only she was seriously injured. We will drive you to the hospital." The principal said and I was frozen.
My mom might die.
I didn't do anything except walk stiffly with the principal to his car and I faintly remember looking out the window seeing the wolf staring at me with sadness in his eyes like he heard what happened. This was impossible unless he had super hearing. But he could and I can believe that because I believe in anything super natural. We arrived at the hospital and sat down outside the hospital room my mother was in while the doctor looked over her. Sammy was at the neighbors which I think are the Clearwater's and finally the doctor came out with the dreaded news.
"Your mom has a broken leg, fractured ribs, and a punctured lung. We couldn't contact your father, but your mom might die." The really handsome doctor with blond hair and the name Carlisle Cullen said. "No!" I shouted finally coming out of my shocked state and started to run into my mom's room. I stared at my bloody and broken mother and started to cry. "No, no, NO!" I screamed and ran out of the hospital and into the forest as the doctor just stared at me before talking into his cell phone. I tripped on a branch and I tumbled down something that I couldn't really see. I finally landed with a rather large thud and screamed when I felt something snap in my leg. I glanced around and found myself in a deep hole and rain started to fall. Nobody would find me here in the woods and I will die.
I wish someone will find me. Please.
(Seth POV)
I howled at the sky for taking my darling Alex away from me. She looked so hurt and frightened when I looked at her from the car. I also felt like my heart was ripped in two when I heard her mom was seriously injured. I started to run towards the hospital and listened to Carlisle talk in his phone. Why did Alex have to go near him or even be in the same building with that blood sucker? If he did anything to her I'm going to kill Carlisle!
"Hello receptionist will you please file a report to the police that a miss Alex Wolfe has run out into the forest when she learned her mother is near death?" he asked and my heart almost stopped. Alex was alone in the forest! There may be a newborn around. I howled again and ran into the forest. Sniffing around I couldn't smell her or anything actually because of the heavy rain falling. That means I have to go to the Cullen's. Not that I hate them or anything, but one of them could kill Alex. I reached their house while I was thinking and changed back into a human to pull on some shorts.
I pulled open the door and found all of the Cullen's excluding Carlisle standing around listening to Edward playing the piano. "I need you guys to help me find my imprint Alex!" I blurted out before thinking about it. I tend to do that a lot lately. "You imprinted on a guy?" Emmett asked and burst out laughing. "Bound to happen. No guy is that happy unless he's gay." Rosalie muttered while fixing her nails and I glared at her. "No, Alex is a girl. She's lost in the woods and I can't find her." I said and sat down full of despair.
A wave of calm hit me, but it didn't work. "Thanks for trying Jasper. Can Alice look into the future and find Alex?" I asked and looked at her. "My visions don't work when I ask them to. Oh wait, here comes one." Her eyes glazed over and she just stared for a minute before looking back at me. "All I saw was darkness. I don't know what it means." She said. "She could be with other werewolves. Or maybe she's dead." Rosalie suggested and I started to shake. "I'm joking. Let's go find this girl before you explode." She explained. I smiled at her and was just about to get up when something whispered in my mind.
I wish someone will find me. Please.
It was Alex's voice! I suddenly got a vision of my Alex lying down in a deep hole with a broken ankle crying her eyes out. I was out of the vision as fast as I came into it and Edward stared at me with wide eyes. "I know where she is! Help me find her." I said and before they could do anything, I ran out the door and where this strange pull inside of me was tugging me. "What happened? How did you get that vision?" Edward asked running alongside me. "I don't know." I murmured too preoccupied to think about it. "Maybe she has a power." Edward said and I growled. "No! She is a normal girl who I imprinted on! Hey, we're here." I stopped and looked down the hole.
There was Alex, now unconscious with some blood flowing from her forehead. The hole was starting to fill up with rain water and her mouth was covered in the dirty water. She could drown! "Hey calm down. If you rush down there the dirt might collapse and fall on top of her." Edward cautioned, but I didn't answer. I started to get down when I heard her voice in my head and outside. Alex had lifted her head and muttered "I wish someone saved me." Her voice and something else gave me the strength and skill to get down into the hole unharmed.
I picked Alex up when her head started to loll down and climbed out of the hole. "I have no idea, but let's take her to your house and you can call Carlisle." I said and ran towards the Cullen house. I hope Alex would be okay.
(Alex POV)
Where am I? My head hurt and my eyes felt like drooping lead so I could only hold them open for a few seconds, but that didn't help my hearing. "Alice you have to be quiet because she's listening." A voice hissed. Well that ruined my plans for the evening. I guess I could just try to keep my eyes open. I struggled against the sea that threatened to push me back and I finally beat it back and opened my eyes to gaze around me.
I was in a very bright room with a beautiful piano with even more beautiful people. They could even be vampires or faeries for all I know. The pixie girl definitely looks like a faerie, but there was something about that didn't seem innocent. Not in the sexual way but in an evil or dangerous way. "This may be easier than I thought." Whispered this guy with bronze hair to the little pixie. He was handsome, but so not my type. With that thought, the guy burst out laughing.
I decided not to say anything and pain filled my leg. I looked down at it and saw blood running from a gash with broken glass in it. "Where did that come from?" I asked. I'm pretty certain that I was in a hole with dirt in it and not glass. "Well while Seth was carrying you here, he tripped which is really difficult for him on a rug when we were just about to put you here and then he dropped you on a vase. He's over in the corner beating himself over it." Bronze said and I looked at the corner to see Seth disappointed with himself.
Why does he look like that? He hates me! I bet he tripped on that rug on purpose. "You'd lose that bet." Edward muttered without me being able to catch that and suddenly Doctor Cullen walked into the room. "I'm so sorry for running out of the hospital like that sir. I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble. You have my sincerest apologizes." I whispered feeling guilty. "I haven't heard a girl talk like that since a long time ago. You are forgiven, but I should have made sure I kept you in the hospital. I'll help you with your leg." Carlisle said and I smiled a little when he looked at my leg.
"You might want to try to be quiet for Seth's sake." Mr. Cullen said and I was puzzled. Maybe Seth has sensitive ears or something. Carlisle pulled out some tweezers from his medical kit and without any hesitation he picked out the largest piece. Now this kind of pain made me scream as loud as I could. And that is really loud because I have strong lungs from playing the flute. Seth stiffened and turned to look at me with pained eyes. Wow, his ears must really hurt.
The blood was flowing freely by now, but there were a bunch of little pieces in the gash. I tried to keep quiet for Seth's sake (for some odd reason because I didn't like him) though a couple of screams and whimpers of pain came out. Somebody took my hand, but I wasn't really aware who was doing it until the gash was stitched up and bandaged. When I was finally aware of my surroundings, nobody was holding my hand so I didn't ponder over it.
I heard someone scream with sadness in her voice and I recognized that voice anywhere. "Sam!" I yelled and tried to stand up, but I fell back against the couch. "Esme my wife brought her over so she wasn't alone without you." Carlisle explained and Sammy leapt at me and started to cry. "Oh it's okay honey. I'm here. Now where is daddy?" I asked while rubbing small circles into her back. I could be a mother when I wanted to. "Daddy is at work. He didn't come visit mommy." Sammy sobbed and I held her tightly.
"Oh calm down sweetie. How about I get you some ice cream when we get home? I picked up strawberry when I got to the store. You know it's your favorite. Remember when we had an ice cream war? You beat me so bad that I smelled like strawberries for weeks." I said and she started to laugh at the memory. That was a good day.
I looked up and saw Seth staring at me with this odd expression in his eyes. What is with him and staring? Is he some kind of perve? Remind me to ask him about that later. "Don't worry dear; mommy's going to make it. I love you and our love will help her stay alive." I whispered and started to cry along with her. She was finally too tired to cry any longer and she fell asleep. "So um why wasn't I at the hospital?" I asked quietly to Seth. "Carlisle is a good doctor and it was the closest thing. I have a question for you. It may sound weird, but when you make wishes do they come true?" he asked awkwardly.
Weird question.
"No! I used to wish that I had a pony when I was a kid and all I got was a cat named Pony. I also once wished to go to space and I went to Cosi and to the Space section there. Though the wishes did come true kind of. I wished for a pony and got a cat named Pony and wished to go to space and went to Space. But if I could make a wish I'd wish for world peace." I went off into my own little world. After wishing for world peace I would wish to become a shape shifter. I would have to elaborate a lot like having clothes when I shift back and that I could actually turn back into a human.
Seth is so weird.
After being driven home and given some crutches I sat with my sister and made her some strawberry ice cream. That made her forget all about mom and five year olds have such simple minds. After putting her to bed, I sat on the couch and waited for my dad to come home. He is going to be in a lot of trouble. I kept almost falling asleep when I heard my dad's Mercedes. Sometimes I forget what he looks like when he's at work or playing with his car.
My dad sighed when he got into the house and when I glared up at him I saw his eyes were dilated. He smelled like beer so I knew he was drunk and that never led to anything good. "Hello sweetie." He slurred. "Dad did you know mom is in the hospital? She might die and you never showed up! What kind of father are you?" I yelled at him and he narrowed his eyes at me. This might turn out badly.
"Do not speak to your father that way missy." He growled and slapped me hard across my face. I screamed and he slapped me again. "That better teach you a lesson. And I had better things to do than visit that whore of a mother." He said and walked up the stairs. I think I have to take my sister somewhere safe. I went up to her pink room and shook her awake. "Sammy I need to bring you to the Clearwater's because daddy is home yet." I lied and picked her up.
I was just about to open the front door when someone knocked on the door. I opened it hesitantly hoping it wasn't one of my dad's friends and it was actually Seth. He stared at the swelling side of my cheek and I blushed. I should've put some ice on it. "Who did that to you?" he asked shaking. "Nothing, I fell down the stairs." I once again lied. He shook even harder and said "I heard you scream. I'm not listening to anything you say so come with me." "I was going to. Dad isn't here yet." I whispered and followed him over to his house. He glanced at my dad's Mercedes, but didn't say anything.
Well now I have another reason for him to hate me.
He opened the door and I saw a woman waiting for him to get back. "Hello Alex and Sam, I'm Sue Clearwater. Seth told me what happened so I got some space for you two in Leah's room. I'm sorry about your dad." She said. "My dad didn't do anything." I whispered, but followed her into Leah's room. Leah was dead asleep underneath the blankets and didn't wake up when we settled down.
Before I went to sleep I accidently kicked Leah in her bed, but she once again didn't do anything. Curiosity filled me and I picked up her covers to see that Leah wasn't there. She put some pillows under the covers. Did she sneak out of the house and why? No offense to her, but she didn't look like a party kind of girl.
Shrugging my shoulders too tired to move, I snuggled up with Sam and fell asleep. Sometime in the middle of the night somebody tripped over me which made me wake up. Somebody was putting a foot on my chest with all their weight. "What are you doing in my house you stupid burglar? Sleeping on the job?" asked Leah. I am not a burglar! I sat up and Leah got a good look at my face. "Alex? What happened to you? You look terrible!" she yelled. That made me feel so much better. "Tell you in the morning." I whispered and fell back to sleep.
Today has been the worst day of my life and Leah did not make it any better. I wolf howled out the window and somehow it made me feel so much better like it was Wolfie. I fell asleep dreaming of wolves.
