A/N:

Thanks for reviewing everyone who has been reviewing it means so much. So now I would like to give ya'll the next chapter.

~Chapter 8: Hand~

My chores were done quickly, mostly because I started them at an early time which gave me plenty of time during the actually day. Lets hope my time isn't spent trying to hit my brother with a stick. I go upstairs and walk into my room, then i grab a book and sit down on one of the bean bags to read.

. . .

At noon Rick walks in. "You hungry?" he asks.

I look up from my book and roll my eyes. "Yeah, and I'm gonna make Ramen for my lunch. What will you be having?" I said.

"Can you make me some Ramen too?" Rick asked.

Shaking my head I close my book and get up to put it back on my nightstand where it had been before. Rick groans, saying he's too lazy to fix his own lunch or that he doesn't know how to work a stove. I ignore him and push past him to walk downstairs to fix my own lunch.

"You'll make me lunch, because I'm older." Rick said.

"True, you're older but my birthday's closer so shut up." I replied calmly, walking into the kitchen.

"That won't work. I'm still older." he replied, getting annoyed.

I gritted my teeth, I just used an excuse of his and he just ignores it like a peice of trash. I belleive he thinks he gets what he wants, obviously. But I don't say it out loud, but instead replied calmly. "That still doesn't mean you're the boss of me."

"Yes it does." Rick argued.

I take a deep breath and walk to the pantry while also attempting to ignore him, which the ignoring part wasn't easy. He just kept on and on and on about stuff, I couldn't actually hear what he was saying since I was mostly focusing on making my lunch and also my headache. I clicked on the stove and placed a pot of water on the small flame to boil. Which afterwards gave me less to concentrate on and Rick's annoying voice breaks through the ignoring sheild.

I'm walking toward the living room to wait for the water to boil so I could put te noodles in, with Rick still argueing. Pretty much a one way arguement for the first three minutes then when he makes fun of my drawings that's when I start argueing as well. "How would you know what good art is anyway?" I shouted. "You can't even draw a circle to save your life."

"Hey, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have gotten those art listens." he yelled.

"What?" I said, that is so not true. "I never had art lessons, I've been alone when it comes to my art since I was little. Don't go spitting out lies."

"You're the one who's lieing." Rick argued.

I walk into the kitchen, with Rick trailing behind me yelling at me. The water is boiling on the stove, so i open the package and dump the noodles into it. I then grab a long fork and begin poking at the hard noodles until they begin to soften up and seperate.

"So difficult to cook ramen." Rick says when I'm seeting the finished ramen to the side to cool.

"Then why can't you make it yourself?" I asked.

Then when he doesn't answer I grab a bowl from the cabinet and then rick trips me angrily. I end up dropping the bowl, it breaks into many peices one of which slices my hand. A cry of pain escapes my mouth and I grab my hand quickly. Rick notices I'm in pain as soon as I cry, I never cry unless it's absolutely nescissary.

"Rain, I'm sorry are you heart?" he asked. "let me see your hand."

I shake my head and run upstairs. another inconvenience in not having an adult home yet is no ride to a hospital and no orders on how to treat sed injury. So my first instinct was one of my bandanas which would stop the bleeding. I snatch the first bandana I see which was a gray one, and when I wrap it sequrely around my hand; I turn to glare at Rick. My pain is replaced with anger and it's obvious he sees that; he runs straight from my room and out of the house.

"...Rain just calm down." I hear my mom call from outside.

Oh, so now she shows up for her lunchbreak? I don't listen to her, and even if I'm only wearing ballet socks I run straight out and into the rain after my brother. My anger is flaring from the pain in my hand, and all his annoying actions today. "RICK!" I shout.

He's running into the forest on in our backyard. I can tell because he always leaves behind a trail of shoeprints in the mud, so it wasn't hard to find him. Who trips someone who's carrying a bowl? A breakable bowl? Anyone with a brain knows if you trip someone they drop whatever they're carrying and if it's breakable someone gets hurt! Good thing in this situation I will hurt him! I eventually catch up, when he is starting to slow down and I am as well, but I'm still fueled by anger from him.

"RICK!" I shout and he turns around.

"Rain i'm sorry." he says and tries to run, which was slow.

I manage to ball my hand up into a fist and hit him right in between his shoulder blades. But to my mistake it was my bad hand and I walk backwards crying in pain again, Rick only grunts in pain. My hand is throbbing and by the moisture in my bandana it is bleeding worse than before, this makes me sit down and grasp my hand tightly and cry.

"Rain?" Seth's voice comes from what I knew was a nearby trail. And when he notices it really was me he's crouched in front of me. "Rain, are you okay? Are you hurt? I went to see if you were done with your chores, but your mother said you chased your brother out here so i came to look for you."

I wipe my face on my sleeves, without letting go of my hand. "My hand." I manage to say before going silent.

I must look like a baby crying over a cut in my hand, but it's not only that, that hurts my headache is worse because of sed rage and the cut seems deep and long. But still, I feel like aa major cry baby crying over a cut. Seth puts a hand on my chin and lifts my head. "What's wrong with your hand?" he asks, looking worried for me.

Seth tries to get me to release my hand but I'm holding on so tightly that he gives up and picks me up. "Come on, lets go find Jake and he can take you to see Carlisle." Seth told me as he carried me bridal style in the direction of Sam's house.

Rick is nowhere to be seen, but I can tell he went back home so i just ignore it and continue to wipe my tears away with my already soaked shirt sleeves. The rain wasn't heavy but it wasn't light either so it kept us wet as Seth walked, by the time we reach Sam's house I have swallowed many whimpers about my hand. Seth was warm and as he carried me I began to sweat slightly from his body heat.

"What the heck?" Sam gasps as he sees my tear stained face.

"She hurt her hand and wouldn't get up because she said it hurt too much." Seth explained. "Also she's tired."

Sam nods and lets us inside, Emily probably heard because as Seth sets me down on the couch she is on the couch also. She looks at me worriedly then grabs my hand and tries to get me to release. "Let me see it." she soothes.

"no, it hurts." I whimpered. Man i'm a baby. Who cries over a cut on your hand?

"We may be able to make it stop, sweetie." Emily replied.

My grip releases and she unravels my now bloody bandana. Emily gasps when she sees my hand, I look down and there it is a long gash going from my index finger diagnally all the way across my palm and a little on my wrist. How on earth could a single shard of broken bowl do that? It was still bleeding and now was throbbing which made more tears come. I hear Seth gasp and also Sam.

"I'll call Jacob and see if he can take her to see Carlisle." Seth said and ran into the kitchen and grabbed what I knew was the kitchen phone.

"I'll get the first aid kit." Sam said.

As he left Emily asked, "How did this happen?"

"I was making Ramen, my brother Rick was annoying me, and as I grabbed a breakable bowl to get some Rick tripped me and I fell and dropped the bowl." I explained quickly.

The next second Sam was back and wrapping my hand in gauz. "This should help until you see Carlisle." Sam said.

A/N:

That's right we get to visit the Cullens the next chapter. Though we probably won't be meeting them all, considering it's only to see Carlisle to get Rain's hand fixed. But oh well. I hope ya'll stick around to read the next chapter. Also tell me what you thought of this chapter please...
