I don't know how frequently I'll post. I've been writing one chapter and posting and immediately writing the next. I think my bipolar is playing a part. I've had several manic days in a row, which has been welcomed since I've been in a low point. During my manic moments I tend to clean. Because I have a muscle pressing on my sciatic nerve I've been hurting too much to do too much cleaning. In exchange of cleaning I've been writing. - BlackBird
The guys just left to meet up with the Cullen's to cut off the red head. Jake left last night though. Jake has to carry Bella to where she is camping. They are hoping that his scent will overpower hers so she can be safe. Us imprints are sitting around in quiet. Practically biting our nails. The two pups are in the woods outside. I've never known Sam and Emily's house to be so quiet when there are this many people. The guys are confident. I just hope that they aren't over confident and get hurt. They all have become my friends. Even Leah. She's kind of bitchy towards the other imprints, especially Emily. She's gotten better though since I've known her. She understands that imprinting isn't anyone's choice, definitely proven by Jake.
"Anyone up to cooking? We can make some cookies." Emily asks the room. She's fidgeting. She goes to the kitchen alone but it doesn't take long for us to go with her. We all help with different things. Kim and Claire are making cookies. Mainly Kim with some help of the child who is flinging some flour. I'm helping Emily make some spaghetti. The guys will surely be hungry when they get back. Jake says they should be home tonight. I'm just hoping they all stay safe.
After the cooking is done, the house becomes quiet once again. Emily put Claire down for a nap on the love seat. Claire wanted to know why she couldn't sleep in Emily's 'big person' bed. No one knew what to say. How do you tell a child that the eventual love of her life and his friends are fighting for their lives to protect us the and the tribe? We didn't want to leave the little one alone in a room. I never heard the leech enter my house or shut doors. It wasn't until he purposely knocked over my chair that I knew someone was there. She didn't fuss too much though since she was tired.
It's getting dark out. The pups are supposed to let us know if something bad happens. Us not hearing from them must be a good thing I guess. I can't help but hate Bella. If she didn't approach Edward, if she just ignored him none of this would be happening. I know she didn't do this intentionally but I still feel bitter about it.
Out of nowhere there is a loud howl outside. Everyone but Claire, who is thankfully still napping, jumps to their feet. It's not long before Brady comes rushing in.
"It's over," That's not it. There's more. He seems scared. He turns to me. "Jake's hurt." I feel like I can't breathe. We aren't romantic we're barely friends, but the thought of losing him is something I can't handle.
"Where is he."
"The guys are taking him to his house." I nod and start towards the door. Once on the porch I see Quil in a truck waiting for me. The whole ride we say nothing to each other. I don't know what to say. Thankfully the ride isn't long at all.
"You don't want to go in there." Paul says to me as he exits.
"Why not?" Paul looks away.
"A leech got him. Crushed one side of his body. Our bodies heal faster so his bones healed wrong. Doctor Leech is in there. He has to re-break all the bones and set them. It's going to be painful." I shove past him. It's been so long since I've been in this house. Billy is in the hall outside Jake's room. I give him a nod before I open Jake's door. In the room is Leah and Carlisle. Jake is clearly in pain.
"You don't want to be in here." Leah tells me.
"He being here might help. If he focuses on her and her scent it might be easier for him." Leah goes to say something but I stop her.
"I'm not going anywhere." I move past Leah and sit on Jake's bed by his head. I don't think it registers that I'm here. Carlisle nods to Leah and she leaves telling Billy he should wait outside with the others.
"Are you ready, Kylie? You don't have to stay if this becomes too much."
"I am not leaving him." He nods his head and gets ready to re-break Jake's bones.
Listening to him scream in pain has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It feels like it is taking forever. I know that Jake knows I'm here. He has buried his face in my leg. In between bones breaking he is taking long deep breaths threw his nose. I know that he smells me here. Whether or not he fully registers that I'm here I don't know.
"I'll bring a morphine drip tomorrow. He should rest as much as he can the next few days." Carlisle says before leaving. Jake is unconscious against my leg. Leah and Billy come in Jake's room.
"I called Charlie. Told him you were spending the night with me. I figured you wouldn't want to leave his side." I nod then turn to Billy.
"Are you okay with me staying?" Billy sadly smiles.
"I'm fine with it." I nod again. Stroking Jake's hair, I hear the door shut. I was so scared for him when I heard that he was hurt. I've always cared about him. Even when he pushed me away for Bella. At one point I thought I had a crush on him when I was younger. I threw that idea away when I thought about how far away I lived and how often I visited Forks. We used to visit Charlie on holiday's but when I was nine both my grandparents died. Dad and Charlie only had each other left as family. We visited Charlie for a month every summer, then two other times during the year. Charlie would even visit us when he could get the time. I feel myself falling for Jake again. Maybe this time I won't let it go.
Bella's truck is loud, it's not hard to tell when she goes somewhere. She is finally going to come see Jake after he got hurt protecting her. I'm not letting this happen. I will not let her upset him while he's trying to heal.
I gently move Jake's head off my lap and quietly leave Jake's room. Billy is arguing with Bella at the door. I see her go move him.
"Don't you dare touch him Bella." She stops and stares at me.
"You're supposed to be at Leah's."
"Your boyfriend isn't supposed to spend the night either." She glares. I put a hand on Billy shoulder gently and he moves out of the way. I walk Bella out and off the porch. "You need to leave."
"I came to see my friend."
"Your friend? The one who got hurt protecting the people he loves because one stupid girl made friends with vampires? Where were you last night? Where were you when he was screaming in pain because every bone in his body was broken? Hm? You chose your vampire and left Jake alone. You need to leave. You are not welcomed here." Quil pulls up in his truck with Colin.
"He's my friend. He helped me through my depression. He - "I slap her. Everyone looks at me with wide eyes.
"Your depression was due to Edward leaving you. You stole Jake's light and used it as your own. Your depression was petty and you know it. You need to start thinking about other people and not just yourself. You have always been a self-centered bitch. Renee always gave you attention and you act out when you don't have it. You moved here with Charlie because you thought he'd give you the attention that Renee stopped giving you. Think of someone else for a change. Leave." She glares before turning to leave. She shoves past Quil and turns to glare at Colin. She stops dead in her tracks. Colin stares at her eyes wide open with wonder and amazement. All the anger on Bella's face disappears and in place is wonder. Oh hell to the no.
