I didn't do anything. For days I stayed in my house, laying on my bed and eating. When my mom came in I wouldn't even be able to speak. I'd look right through the person that was in the room.

They were practically all ghosts…

I wished I could go back. I needed to go back in time. I needed to go back and make everything okay. To go back to before I had screwed EVERYTHING up. I prayed to God to let me. I prayed for him to have mercy and let me go back. I needed Aria. She was my world. IS my world. I need her. I love her.

I just hope she still loves me back, even the slightest bit, I could make do with that. I could love her the way she deserves.

If she just loved me a little, I could help it grow.

I need her.

Chapter Six!

(AUTHORS NOTE FIRST THOUGH!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of y'all who have actually commented. And

READS2SURVIVE oh my gosh thank you sooo much for the feedback! I read a few of the stories she posted. THEY WERE AMAZING! 333

Sorry it took a while to post! Things have been happening….

Today was definitely not my good day though. I hope it doesn't rub off on the story. But I went to the movies with my sister,

Oh my God.

We got a popcorn and a soda. I forgot I had the popcorn in my hand and reached for my phone, managing to spill my popcorn everywhere. And my soda! I spilled down my shirt! Wow!

Then while I was babysitting, I got a blister on my hand! Awesome…

Now…

STORY TIME!

Aria POV

I don't know how much farther I ran, it seemed like I was going super fast and going in circles for hours.

I know I ran through about seventeen trees and managed to snag a knot in my fur on a branch and I just sat there for a while. I didn't feel like moving. I wanted to think. But I hadn't eaten in days. And apparently, that's bad? Especially since I'm now a werewolf? Whatever! I didn't feel like eating. Sure I was literally starving. But I didn't wanna eat! And I was thirsty but I didn't know where water was!

Aria, Sam suddenly appeared or…sounded in my…head.

Yesss? I answered lazily.

Paul needs you. He's sick. This is what happens when imprints are away from each other for too long. Where are you? You'll start to get sick as well if you don't get to Paul!

I dunno… I'm hungry. Where's the water at? Fuck… I heaved slightly.

Hold up, stay where you are, I'll get the others. We'll find you. He ordered then howled.

YO! Embry shouted.

What? I WAS SLEEPING THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Jared moaned.

Thoughts like this invaded my mind, fuck…

Let's go find Bella! Doctor Fang is with Pauly-Poop, he'll be fine… Jared murmured.

They all started running in the direction I started running in the beginning.

I'm REALLY hungry….

Eat a squirrel or something! Jacob hissed.

NO! I'm a vegetarian. I feel bad eating little, defenseless critters. I grumbled.

Hours passed and they still hadn't found me. This really seemed like a bad version of hide-and-go-seek. You know, the kind you would play with the mean girls from your school and you would spend hours hiding in a closet, anticipating for them to find you but when it's time to go, you come out and their drowning the hamster you gave them? Yeah, that kind.

Jeez, that happened? Jacob sounded stunned.

Oh yeah!

That isn't very nice. How long ago was that? Sam wondered.

Last year. Yeah I still play that game, got a problem? Oh but it also happened when I was four and ten.

Wow…

URGH! Leah growled. Where are you?

Stuck on a tree…

How?

My fur got me stuck…

There she is! Embry hollered and ran over to me, stopping as soon as he was five trees away. Hoolllyyyy shhhiiitttt…..

I saw through his mind how I looked. Through my fur you could see all of my ribs. Things were becoming a little…fuzzy.

Then I blacked out.

I woke up naked, in front of six men and one woman. They were carrying me, "You'll be okay, Aria," they were all murmuring and telling me I'd be fine. I knew I could die. Starvation and thirst can do that… Plus, not being with Paul…

I whimpered and saw we were still in the woods. But I could see a house. I knew Paul was in it. Imprint's intuition…

I was suddenly gasping for breath….

Cant breathe…

God, forgive me.

I'm gonna die.

"NO I WONT!" I managed to gasp out while they said I'd be fine.

"Yes you will be! You gotta be!" Jacob shouted.

I tried to manage another sentence but I couldn't. I grabbed onto a hand of someone who was not carrying me. I signed into their hand, 'Help!' I was coughing now.

They held onto my hand and a moment later we were inside. A smell of rotting carcasses invaded my nostrils. I hissed and shook. Sam told me it was okay. They ran and I felt Paul getting closer… It was beginning to get a little easier to breathe. They set me down and covered me with a blanket. I looked over, tiredly to my right. Paul!

Then of course, I blacked out again…

I wasn't asleep and I wasn't awake. It was somewhere in-between when I heard him. His voice. Mmmm… Sure I was still mad at him but I missed him…

"Is she okay?" I heard Paul ask. "Why is she naked? Why is she unconscious? Did she not want to come? What happened? She looks smaller! A lot smaller. Isn't she supposed to be bigger since she's a wolf?"

"She's okay, she's naked because she phased back while she was unconscious so we have no clothes for her. She's unconscious because she was starving. She wanted to come. She just got lost in Canada. Yes, she is supposed to be bigger but since she deprived herself of food and water she shrunk." Sam explained.

"Did everyone see her…exposed?"

"Yes," Sam sighed.

"Fuck…Okay. Thanks…"

"Your welcome."

I heard him leave and the door close, I felt a warm hand cup my cheek. "I missed you baby… I know you can hear me, Imprint's know…Intuition I suppose. Nayeli," He kissed me lightly. (NAYELI- QUILULITE WORD MEANING: I LOVE YOU)

I managed to whisper, "Nayeli, but I still mad." Before I fell back into the in-between stage.

"I know, Honey…but I hope you can forgive me…" he murmured.

It was quiet again. And I fell asleep completely.

I knew I'd forgive him… But I didn't know when I could trust him again, completely.

In my sleep I felt something being shoved down my throat and into my stomach and a needle go into a vain in my arm. I knew what they were. A feeding tube and an IV.

Slowly I came back into my body, my eyes flickered and I started gagging, Paul was right there, holding me. I was gagging because of the tube in my throat. I gagged and tried to pull it out when the Pack ran in with a guy who smelt like death.

I hissed at the man and continued trying to pull it out while I gagged.

Paul was trying to restrain me, Sam and Jacob were trying to help also but they didn't help him at all. The man who smelt like death stepped toward me and the tube when the boys had finally gotten me restrained. Paul was straddling my waist and holding my shoulders down. Jacob was holding one arm while Sam held the other.

I looked straight at Paul, avoiding his eyes, glaring as I gagged. I hacked and my tongue tried to get it out.

I saw Leah and Emily and Seth all looking horrified while the other Pack members looked sorrowful and scared.

Paul looked like he hated himself and like he wanted me to be comfortable but I didn't care, I needed the thing out and I needed it out now!

I clenched my fist, in Jacob's had and shot it out. It hit him in the chest and he fell backwards, I pushed Paul off of me, thank god they put me in clothes! Then I swung at Sam and ripped the tube out.

I heaved out what the feeding tube had put in my stomach then stood up on the bed since Paul, Jacob and Sam looked ready to jump. "OUT!" I shrieked. "FUCK YOU!" My voice was coarse. I was shaking, so close to phasing.

They all backed up like I had a loaded gun in my hands. They all left the room and closed the door. I collapsed on the bed. And I slowly fell into a light sleep.

I only woke up to someone opening the door. I looked up and growled. It was Emily so I stopped growling.

"Hi, Aria," she smiled.

"Hey Emily," I said, my voice was still scratchy.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I shrugged. "I guess."

"Hungry?" She asked.

"Yeah, but it's not bad," I replied.

She nodded. "Want me to get you something?"

"No, you don't have to Emily that's okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive," I smiled.

After a while Emily left and I sat on the bed. Paul came in.

"What?" I growled looking at his hair.

"I'm sorry. I understand how you feel right now, and I'm just… I'm really sorry."

"It's okay," I shrugged and got up, pulling the IV out. He looked confused. "I'm going to go eat and drink something now."

I grumpily walked down and grabbed some food and swallowed it then gulped down water.

There was that death odor again! Only worse and there was a human. Suddenly a pale skinny-ass teenage girl ran in and hugged Jacob. We all growled. Only Leah could do that!

"You smell like death," I announced when it was quiet.

"I cant believe you said that!" she squeaked.

Everyone else was in hysterics. Finally Paul and my eyes locked and invisible ropes tied me to him. He was my reason for living. He was the center of my universe. He would one day be the father of my children and my husband.

He walked over and pulled me to his chest. "I love you," he murmured while the girl screamed at me.

"I love you too."

Tell me what you think.

It's now 1:54 AM

I have officially spent a long time on this.

I'm so fucking tired, everytime I yawn ny eyes water,

X/OX/o
