Sorry I haven't updated in so long but my computor broke and then I started writting other stories so i didn't keep up with this one. But today I was bored so i decided to write this chapter. what cool about this chapter is that i actually got the last bit from a dream i had. so i hope you like it and please review and tell me if i should continue this story.
"Maybe you boys should go home." Esme said suddenly and we all looked at her like she was crazy. "It's late, you all need some sleep." She said diffensively. We were all squeezed into the Cullens living room. We were waiting for Carlisle and Jake to come down. Kyle was upstaires with them and we could all hear his ragged breathing and his heart that was working way too hard to hold out much longer.
"We're fine Esme but thanks." Jared said and everyone nodded in agreement.
Esme frowned. "Jared, look around you. Some of you look like you might fall over any second." She was motionning to everyone but her eyes were on me. I surpressed a growl that threatened to escape. I knew I was tiered. I knew that I've barely slept in the last week but that wasn't going to make me move. There was only one things that could make me move on my own accord and she was at her house, tucked in bed
"If someone wants to leave they can. Nobody is stopping them." Embry spoke up and looked around but no one moved.
Esme persed her lips but didn't say anything else and soon after Carlisle and Jacob came down the stairs. I looked up and saw the misery on Jake's face and I knew he wasn't going to make it. Carlisle shook his head sadly. "I'm sorry, we got there too late. The venom was already spreading. There's nothing I can do for him."
I closed my eyes, fighting hard to keep control of my emotions. Then I looked over to my right to Cole and saw a tear fall down his cheek. Kyle was Cole's brother. They're closer than the rest of us put together. It would be the hardest for him to lose Kyle. I clapped his back. "I'm sorry." I whispered and everybody looked up and saw Cole. I knew what they were all thinking, even if we weren't phased. We were all thinking that we failed. That we weren't good enough. We couldn't handle one stupid vampire and now one of us was dying. I know that it was Jake that was feeling the worst of this too. He was the alpha, the leader. It was his job to protect us. To make sure we didn't get hurt and that the vampire died. If one of us loses, we all lose. We're too tightly bownd. And for me. I just thought that I wasn't fast enough. If I could just have been able to go a little faster than he might not be dying.
"How long?" Quil asked suddenly.
Carlisle down. "I'm not sure but not long."
"Is he in pain?" Zack asked.
Carlisle nodded gravely. "Greatly, I tried to reduce it by giving him some morphine but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for him." Almost the second that he stopped talking, a terrible scream sounded in the air and Carlisle and Jake was gone in an instant, flying up the stairs. Cole ran too, before I could stop him so I ran after him, calling his name but he got to the room before I could get a hold on him. We run into the room, were Kyle was laying on a hospital cot in the middle of the room. I took one look at Kyle and felt sick. He was so pale, almost white even and sweat tringled down his face. He was clutching the railings on each side of the bed so hard that he was bending the medal.
Cole tried to get to the bed but Jake stepped into his way, pushing him back. He looked at me. "Get him out of here." He ordered and I nodded, taking hold of Cole's arms and pulled. He fought hard to break free but I was stronger than him and managed to pull him back down stairs. I could hear him crying as he fought against me. "Kyle." He muttered before I let him go at the bottom of the stairs. He fell to his knees for a second before he got up and ran out the door. It was silent for a few moments before I heard a wolf howling in the distance.
He's dead. He's gone. That was all I could think of, running to Alison's. It was almost midnight and the sky was clear. I just needed to see her. See her sleeping peicefully and mybe I'd be able to sleep a little too that night. I was surprised though when I saw a small light coming from her second story window. I phased quickly and pulled a pair of shorts on. Then I silently went up to her house and climbed up the tree beside the house so I could look in her window. I've done this many times before on nights that I was mad or frustrated or even sad. Sometimes I just needed to see her happily sleeping, curled up in a ball under her covers. The last year has been the best year of my life because of her.
When I looked through her window, was once again surprised to see her sitting up in her bed, leaning against the wall and looking blanckly at the celing. The small light was coming from her reading lamp on her nightstand. I frowned and looked at the moon to make sure it was as late as I though. It was midnight and she was sitting up in bed wide awake.
I signed and tapped on her window. I needed to talk to her. Now that I saw that she was awake, I needed her presence near me. She was the only one that could stop the images of the days events from taking over. Her head snapped in my direction and stared at the window for a moment before getting up and opening the window. She squinted in the darkness for saying. "What the heck Collin. What are you doing?" I could tell by how she said this that she was mad and most likely at me for running off earlier today and then appearing at her window in the middle of the night.
"I needed to see you." I whispered and she looked at me frowning.
"And it couldn't wait 'till morning?"
I bit my lip and looked away. "Can i come in?" I asked and she sighed but moved out of the way so I could pull myself through. I laid on her bed, legs dangling over the side. I was so tiered.
I was about to say something when she interupted me. "What is wrong with you Collin?" she said, her voice was upset.
I looked up at her. "What do you mean?" I asked.
She shook her head. "Your practicly dead. You have been for the past few weeks and now you look even worse." She said but when I didn't respond she continued. "What's going on Collin, I know your hidding something. I didn't want to say anything because I hoped that you'd tell me on your own. You disapear at odd times, you do things that don't always makes sense, you know things you shouldn't. Then today, you pretty much went missing. I tried calling your cell five times and you weren't at home. And what's wrong with you know. I swear Collin, you look like you died and then came back again. What hap---"
"Alison." I said cutting her off. I sat up and looked her straight in the eyes. "Kyle is dead." I said.
Alison
I stared at him, shocked. Pain filled his eyes and all the anger I had toward him vanished. "What?" I asked, stupidly.
He looked down at his hands. "Kyle died. That's where I was all day. I was at Dr. Cullen's with the rest of the guys."
"How?"
I watched him take a deep breath before answering. "He was cliff diving and hit his head on a rock." He said in a monotone voice. He put his head in his hands.
"I'm so sorry." I said, pulling his hands from his face and pulled him into a hug on the bed. I pulled him down on the bed so he lay beside me. He looked so exausted that he might calapse at any moment. I eyed his naked torso as I said. "You can stay here tonight if you want." I offered and he nodded slightly before pulling me closer and closing his eyes. I curled up against him and I soon we were both sound asleep.
The nex few days were hard. Collin was depressed along with the other guys. The guys and some girls didn't go to school and the funeral was on friday morning so I got out of school to go with Collin. He barely said a word the whole time. When it was finaly done, I saw most of the guys stay back, all their heads were down. I almost had to pulled Collin back to the car. I pulled him into the back seat so he could rest his head on my shoulder. "Are you okay?" I asked and he nodded. I sighed and took his hand in mine. "Do you want to do something tomorrow?"
He took a deep breath. "I can't." He said quietly.
"Why not." I asked, a sinking feeling in my stomach.
"It's nothing. It's just some stuff I need to do with the guys." He said and I sat up straight and looked straight ahead, head fell off my shoulder. "What wrong?" he asked and I could feel his eyes on me.
"Collin, what are you doing tomorrow that you don't want me to know about?"
"I alread told you, just some stuff with the guys."
I pressed my lips together, shaking my head. I got out of the car frustrate and he followed me. "Ali, wait." he said spinning me around to face him.
"What are you hidding from me Collin?" I cried. "What is so bad that you've been keeping from me. I'm not dumb Collin. I know you hidding something from me and I can't take it anymore."
Silence.
"Collin you trust me right?"
He nodded." Of course I do."
"Then what is so bad that you won't tell me?"
"I'm not hidding anything from you." He said quietly and it was the most obviously lie that I had ever seen.
I shook my head, tears started to roll down my face. "Call me when you deside to tell me. Until then, I don't want to see you." I said as calmly as I could before I hurried into the car and drove away before he could stop me.
Collin
Seeing her drive away like that pretty much broke my heart and told me what I had to do. Since telling her wasn't en option I could only do one thing. I had to quit.
Two weeks went by and I had managed not phase once. I could feel my self changing, going back to the way I was before I first changed. I hated it but I was doing it for the girl I loved. That's all that mattered. I hated watching the guys, hearing them talking. I was no longer part of the pack. Then there was the terrible feeling I got from being away from Alison for so long.
Then it was time. I drove over to her house and found her in her backyard sitting on a chair reading a book. She looked up at my aproach. I wasn't as quiet as I used to be. She jumped up and wrapped her arms around me. "I'm so sorry. I was so mean the other week. I was just mad. I feel so bad. Will please forgive me." She cried into my shirt.
I pulled her close, enjoying the feeling of having her in my arms again. "I forgive you but I have something to say." I said and she looked up at me and her eyes widened. I must have changed in the way I look too.
"What happened?" She asked but I shook my head and motionned for her to sit down. We sat on the steps of the back porch.
I felt her eyes on me as I took a deep breath. " You were right. I was hidding something from you but it doesn't matter anymore. I got rid of it. I'm no long a part of it. I didn't it for you so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
