So I had a lot of free time today so I thought I would just go ahead and write chapter 6.. I'm going to try and write chapters more frequently so y'all won't have to wait as long...anyways hope you like it
I would have liked the ride from the hospital to be more of a longer trip, but since my grandfather drives like a racecar driver it only took us 7.5 minutes. The whole car drive to the house Carlisle kept telling me that everything was going to be fine and that there was nothing to be worried about. He was probably right that everything was going to be fine; he just didn't specify when it would be.
When we reached to the front door I could sense Rosalie's angry from inside. "Carlisle, you still confident that everything will be all right?"
He looked straight ahead at the door and quickly opened it. Even without the highly sensitive ears I could already hear the yelling. "For me, I'm certain I'll be all right. For you, not so much."
"Are you out of your mind Jace?" Rose's anger, to be perfectly honest terrified me. I have only once ever experienced Rose this angry before when I destroyed her brand new car, one that she'd been working on for months. "You could have exposed us! What on earth were you thinking at the time?"
"Rose I wasn't thinking, I just reacted. I'm sorry for causing all of you the trouble but I really didn't mean any harm by it. I just didn't want the girl to get hurt." It was honest, and truthful except Rose didn't by it. Giving me the ice-cold glare I could tell she had a lot more to say to me.
Rose clapped her hands together and gave me a terrifying smile. "Great everybody he didn't mean anything by it! We can now go back to our normal lives and not worry about a thing." I could feel of sarcasm coming out of her mouth. "What do you honestly think your excuse would mean to me? You could have ruined everything we have built in our lives by exposing our world. Do you want us to get into trouble by the Volturi?"
"Of course I don't want that to happen. I will never want any of that to happen!" I was getting so frustrated with Rose now. Why can't she just believe me I did not intend for this to happen? But she won't listen to me, not when she's like this.
"Oh please, save it for someone who cares Jace." I could see Emmett beside her trying to calm Rose down, but she wasn't budging. "You know what your just like your father, putting his human before his own family! Are you going to be like him and sacrifice everything we have and have worked for, for your precious new girlfriend?" Her voice was filled with venom and I didn't know what to say to her.
I was frozen by her words. I knew I messed up bad but could she honestly think that I would sacrifice my whole family for some girl I barely know?
"Enough! I've had enough of this Rose. Let's go. You need to get out of this house and calm down." Emmett grabbed her by the waist and swung her over his shoulder, hulling her out of the house.
I could hear her protests all the way to the forests; she was gone. Still what she said in here just moments ago stung. Am I really that selfish to put my own needs before my families? Will I risk everything by what I had done today?
Jace, don't get so caught up in her words. We all know what Rose said isn't true; she's just too caught up in her own anger to think about what she's saying. She really does care about you.
But Nessie, I messed up bad. Really bad! What if I did expose us? What if she asks questions about us?
Oh Jace, such the drama queen! Do you honestly believe this girl will come to the conclusion that we're vampires? Don't be silly. She seemed to believe so strongly that there would be no reaction because of this, and that nothing would change. I wouldn't believe in her comforting words not for one second. I couldn't help but think back to my parents past and what happened then.
But Nessie mother found out.
I couldn't stand being in that house anymore. Not when I could sense everyone else's panic that somehow in the future things were going to change. So I got up from the couch, and left. I was miles away from the house by now going in no particular direction, but I could still sense my sister's mind reaching for mine.
Wherever it is you are going, don't make it a long trip. There are still things we need to discuss with our new situation.
Don't worry sister I'll be back before dawn.
Still not knowing where I was going I somehow made it back to the hospital. When inside, I used my vampire senses so any suspicious nurses wouldn't notice me, and it worked. In no time I was in front of Jennifer's door and looking inside from the window. The room was too dark for me to see anything but I could tell no one else but her was inside.
I crept inside towards her bed trying not to make a sound, but honestly even a vampire can have his human moments. I somehow managed to trip over a wire, knocking over a cart with food on it, making a loud crashing noise which I'm sure woke up the entire second floor. Then afterwards hitting my head on the chair next to her bed. I know for a fact that if Emmett or anyone of my family members except for my mother saw this they wouldn't let me forget about it for the rest of my existence. I really detest having the genes of an unbalanced, uncoordinated, ungainly, clumsy vampire of a mother. It never helps me in times like these.
All too suddenly the lamp by her bed went on, revealing myself to the girl. When I looked at her, she didn't seem scared or worried at all the only emotion in her features was confusion.
"Cullen is that you?" her voice so small with drowsiness.
"I'd prefer you call me Jace, but I guess Cullen works to."
"Okay Jace. What exactly are you doing here?"
I could here the nurses coming down the hall, meaning I didn't have much time before they found out that I'm in her room.
"Well right now I don't have much time to explain, but I will soon I promise. Could you just cover for me, hide me somewhere? I really want to avoid nurses yelling at me for being in you room." I could tell she was tired and wanted to just go back to bed and forget that I was here, but she slowly nodded her head.
"Alright fine, I'll help you. There's a cupboard over there by the far window, I'm pretty sure you can fit in It." She pointed to the window to where the cupboard was, one look at it and I laughed.
"You honestly think I can fit in that?" There was no way I could fit in that tiny cupboard. Even though I'm not breakable that's still going to be a tight fit.
"Well do you really have a choice?" She did have a point there. "I'll help you don't worry." She climbed out of her bed and rushed over to where I was by the cupboard, her hair looking even more beautiful in the moonlight. "Okay, now just try to fit as much of your body in there as possible, and I'll just shove you in the rest of the way. This may hurt a bit, but it's all we got right now."
"Jennifer?" I asked before she shoved me in.
"What is it?" She looked down on me, her eyes still showing her sleepiness.
"Thank you for doing this, I know you don't have to." By my words she turned her head away to hide her blush; it was too cute.
"Well did you honestly think that I would just let you get caught by the nurses and get into trouble?"
"No, I guess not."
I could hear the nurses now coming down the hall; they would be here in only a couple of minutes. My guess is that Jennifer heard them too because she started to panic. "Oh my goodness! Jace hurry the hell up, the nurses are almost here." I could only smile at her, she was even cuter when she was panicking, but I did what she asked. In no time I was packed away in that god-forsaken cupboard.
Through the crack of the doors I could see what was going on outside in the room. To my surprise Jennifer was just standing there in the middle of the mess I created, not doing a dam thing. I was going to tell her to get back to bed but then I cut myself off because the nurses arrived.
The lights to the ceiling turned on and my vision blurred, for only a minute. I could hear the nurses voices thick with worry. "Ms. Mathews? Is everything all right? We heard a loud crash on the first floor?"
Jennifer just laughed at the nurses. She seemed too calm with our situation, almost like she's been in it too many times before and I didn't like it. "I'm perfectly fine Ms. Fray, just fell over my food cart when I went to go get a glass of water. You know how I get, always falling over. That's even how I ended up in here." She kept on laughing at her clumsiness and soon the nurses were laughing too, and then they quickly cleaned up the food and lay Jennifer to bed.
"And that's how it's done." She spoke so self-assured that her little performance was foolproof.
"Now would you help me out of this cupboard, or are you just going to keep gloating about your performance? It really hurts in here." Didn't actually hurt only uncomfortable, but I have to keep up appearances.
It looked as though she forgot I was even in the cupboard because she jumped when I spoke. "I'm so sorry Jace, I totally forgot you were here. For a second there I truly believed that it was me who crashed over everything."
"It's all right just help me get out if this, will you?" Quickly she got up and ran over to where I was at and crouched down to help me out. This time she didn't have to put any effort to help me; all she had to do was open the door.
"Oh my goodness, Jace! I'm so sorry you all right? I really didn't mean for you to fall out. Are you sure you're okay?" She stopped to look me over for any scrapes or bruises, but there weren't any, figures.
"I'm perfectly fine. Not a scratch on me."
"Okay, as long as you are all right." She picked herself up and went straight to her bed to go lie down; she patted the spot next to her for me to lie down as well. We laid there for a couple of minutes in silence before she broke it. "So, are you going to tell me why you snuck into my room, or am I just going to have to play the guessing game?"
"I snuck in here because I was worried about you." There was no point in lying about it.
"It's the middle of the night though, you should be sleeping, and heck I should be sleeping." She truly seemed tired now, and I felt bad about waking her up. "Won't your parents be worried?"
"No, they know I went out." They probably did know I was here in the hospital with Jennifer thanks to Alice. Since they're not here I don't think they mind, but I think Rose would when she finds out.
"So they know you're here then?"
"Maybe, but they just know I went out."
"Oh, I see." She seemed as though she wanted to say more but was at a loss for words.
"If you have something to say just say it." I could tell my force of voice took her back, but she regained her composure. I didn't mean to snap at her like that but it just happened.
"What happened today in the gym? I was falling down the stairs and all of the sudden you were there to catch me. I know you were nowhere near where I was, so don't tell me you were." Jennifer seemed so sure that I was nowhere near her, could I just lie to her face and say I was? To protect my family I had to. No matter how much I didn't want to.
"Do you normally where glasses Jennifer? Because if you don't I think you should get you eyes checked." I know this is mean to lie to her face like this but I had no other choice. "Mr. Ferguson, shortly after you left told me to help you out, so I did. Luckily for you I saved your ass from a nasty fall."
"If you call a broken arm saving then you did fantastic." She was annoyed now. "Okay, say that's all true how come I saw you all the way at from across the gym before I fell? What's your excuse now?"
"You know that guy David? Well he's in our class; he looks a lot like me. Maybe you just mixed us up." It sounded reasonable enough, but she still seemed as though she didn't believe me. With all of the lying I have done to her I wouldn't believe me either.
"Jace I know your not telling me the truth and I know you have no right to tell me because I barely even know you but promise I wont tell anyone."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you Jen, but there really is nothing to tell." I really did think I could trust her with my secret but I couldn't tell her. Family comes first.
I could hear footsteps coming down the hall, and they were heavier than the nurses. By the sounds of it they were going directly to Jennifer's room. I would of stayed longer had it been the scent of my family, but I didn't know this person so I had to leave her reluctantly.
"Look I have to leave you now, there's someone coming here and I have to get back to my family anyways." She seemed confused because normal humans wouldn't be able to hear anyone coming down the hall just yet, but she believed me nonetheless.
I silently crept to her window and hopped out onto the nearby tree. I stayed there for a few moments till the person from the hall came in.
"Hey sweetie, you awake?" It was a man's voice. "The nurse phoned and said you had an accident this evening so I came to see if you were okay. Are you okay?" He bent down to sit on the bed and she shifted so he could sit beside her. I couldn't tell who the man was, but he was tall and a tad muscular. When he kissed her on the forehead I felt as if I was intruding on them, so I had to turn away. "I love you sweetie." Love? Was he her boyfriend? She never mentioned someone else. I was going out of my mind with these thoughts until she put me back into a peace of mind when she answered.
"I love you too, dad." She leaned next to him and gave him a hug.
While I was running back to my house I couldn't keep the smile off of my face, not even Rosalie could.
So.. hope you liked it and please REVIEW!!
