Chapter 4

"Harley? Harley please wake up. I won't ever be able to forgive myself if you don't wake up."

Harley could feel herself waking up, and she could faintly hear someone talking to her, but she couldn't figure out who it was. She tried to say something to the person, but her body would not allow her to. When she tried to move everything hurt, but once again making a noise was impossible.

"Emmett, you can't blame yourself. This was no one's fault." She heard Carlisle's familiar and soft voice.

"But it is my fault, Carlisle. If I hadn't said those things to Alice, she wouldn't have heard anything and then she wouldn't have left the house. And then she wouldn't be here!" Emmett's loud, worried voice broke through the pain she was feeling.

Now she wasn't feeling as much of the physical pain anymore, as much as she was feeling the emotional pain. The pain that she had caused her family was overriding the feelings of pain coursing throughout her body. She had not thought about how badly her family would be affected by her running away, she just knew that she had to.

Finally Harley couldn't stand it anymore. She had to stop this new pain. "Emmett..." Her voice finally broke through her tightly sealed lips.

He raced to her side. "Leigh? Oh my god. I was so worried about you." He spilled out in dry sobs.

"I'm...sorry." She said slowly, her voice hoarse.

"We'll talk about it later. Just sleep." He whispered brushing a thumb over her cheek and started towards the door.

"Emmett!" she shouted, but it hurt and her voice was hoarse, so it sounded the way she felt: painful.

He raced back over to his little sister, and brushed the hair out of her face. "Leigh?"

"Don't leave. Please." she begged him. She needed him. She had never wanted him next to her so much since she had entered this family.

"I won't. I promise." He put his and on her's and sat down then the blackness overtook her again.

Emmett was worried when Shane had called and said that something had happened to Harley. He was on the phone when the car hit her. If he had a heart, it would have stopped beating when Shane told him that. Emmett expected him to say that she was at his house complaining about the argument, but then all thoughts of her hating him left his mind. The only thing in his head was making sure she was okay.

FLASHBACK

Emmett was the first one to get there. He saw her lying in the street, and his mind wasn't able to process anything else. Carlisle arrived next, and tried to calm his son down.

"Emmett. Move away so I can help her. Please son." He said in his calm-sounding, soft voice.

Emmett looked up at him, then slowly moved away so he could help her. She looked so helpless and broken covered in blood, and it was then that he noticed the smell. He had smelled her blood before when she scraped her knee or cut herself, but none of them had ever smelled it in that amount before. There was so much of her blood around that the scent was intense.

Finally the rest of the family arrived, and he had to back away for everyone's safety. He immediately went over to Rosalie, and she hugged him. Everyone knew about the fight, and they knew that he felt bad about what he had said. Everyone immediately caught the scent of her blood, and the look on Jasper's face was killing Emmett. He could tell that Jasper was mad at him, even though he knew that his brother didn't blame him. He was also mad at Harley for running away. The scent of her blood was also killing him. He almost couldn't handle it, because he hated the way it made him feel about her. Suddenly her body started to shake and she was shouting in pain. Everyone quickly looked at Jasper, and knew that he could also feel it.

"Jasper! I need your help!" Carlisle shouted. "You are the only one who can get her to calm down enough for me to stabilize her!" He shouted above the rain and commotion.

The pain etched on his face was unbearable. He slowly stepped forward and risked everything to help our little sister. He knelt down next to her and kept whispering her name and other comforting words. Thankfully, she calmed down immediately and Carlisle was able to get her ready to go to the hospital.

Harley was walking alone in a dark place. She was completely surrounded by darkness. Suddenly she saw a light fast approaching and then there was pain. She screamed out in pain and immediately felt two comforting hands on her face. "Leigh. Leigh wake up."

When her eyes cracked open, she saw her best friend staring back at her. "Shane."

He smiled and Harley immediately felt safe. "You scared the shit out of me, Harls. I thought that I had lost you. Don't do that to me ever again, okay?"

"I'm sorry." That was all she could manage to get out. "I hate hurting you." A tear slid down her cheek.

He wiped it away and put his hand on her's. "I know. When I heard you scream and then that car hit you...I heard your bones break. I thought I was going to die Harley. You are practically my sister. You are my best friend. Without you...all I would have is a school with no one to talk to, and a family of vampires to help me through the pain that would be the rest of my life."

She gave him a dopey and lop-sided grin. "Yes well, you don't have to worry about that family of vampires. They are the reason I am still here and talking to you right now."

He laughed. "Oh move over."

Moving as best as she could without too much pain, she made room on the other half of the bed for Shane slide in next to her. They ended up talking for over an hour, and finally fell asleep, Shane's arms protectively around her.
