DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Twilight book series, or any of the recognizable characters. Stephenie Meyer does.
A/N: I am soooo Sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I had a major case of writers block, but I am good now. I have it all figured out, at least up until prom. This chapter is a little short, but I could feel that I rushed it a little so I decided to stop where I did to make the next chapter better. I just really wanted to update tonight b/c I have already taken so long to update.
Please read and let me know what you think. Thanks!
Chapter 9
I noticed tears in Logan's eyes as he watched his mom being taken away in an ambulance. We found out where they were taking her so that we could follow them to the hospital. Logan ran with me over to my house so that I could grab something to wear and to leave a note for Renee quickly before we sped off to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital we found out that Logan's mom was taken into surgery. We paced the waiting room. Logan eventually sat down with his head in his hands. I sat down next to him and tried to comfort him.
His hair disheveled, his stunning face bruised, and his eyes full of concern.
"I'm so sorry about tonight. It has never gotten so bad. I should've warned you." Logan said with tear shot eyes. He looked so vulnerable.
"We both know that it wasn't your fault. If anything you may have saved your mother's life tonight. And you saved me." I tried to comfort him.
"I knew it would be bad tonight when I saw that he was home. I just had a feeling. I thought that it would be the usual, maybe something would be thrown; I just didn't think that it would be my mom. I had to do something when I walked in and I heard her crying and I saw her crumpled up with him standing over her.
"My instincts just took over and I tackled him. I couldn't let him hit my mom again. It appeared that he had been at it for a while, and then he got away from me and dragged her into the living room. I didn't even have time to call 911. I wish that I would've done something because I put you in danger." He looked at me with loving apprehension, "Are you sure that you're okay?"
My eyes were filling with tears; all I could do was nod. We sat there looking at each other when we noticed that someone was franticly coming through the doors.
"Alice! What are you doing here?" I exclaimed when I saw her.
She rushed over to me at a quick human pace, almost to quick, and wrapped her arms around me. "Oh, Bella I'm so glad you're okay." I could tell that she was dry sobbing. "I…I...I thought that…that we almost lost…lost…you."
"I'm fine. Logan saved me." I said as I brought Alice down to sit next to me on the couch next to Logan.
Logan barley looked up. I knew how worried he was about his mom. His dad had never hit them before, as far as I know.
"Don't worry, she will be fine." Alice soothed Logan as soon as she regained her composure.
He gave a faint smile, "thanks, Alice."
"How did you know that we were here?" I asked feeling stupid the moment the words left my lips.
She gave me a curious look. "I think you know."
I blushed furiously, "I know what you probably saw, but how did you know that we were here at the hospital?"
"As soon as I left the airport and got a car, I raced to your house. Remember you gave me your address when we met at Disneyworld. Well, anyway, I saw the note that you left for Renee and I rushed right over."
"Oh." I didn't know what to say, but I felt a great sense of relief that she was here.
She hugged me, and then embraced Logan. I could tell that he felt slightly awkward.
"So now that we know everyone is okay, I have some news of my own." Alice said in a cheerier voice.
I looked at Alice curiously. Logan was so distraught that he wasn't even paying much attention to the exchange between Alice and me. He just got up and went over to the nurse's station to get an update on his mom's condition.
"Well," She continued, "I predict a very cloudy and stormy spring for Jacksonville."
"Great, just my luck. I move to a place that is supposed to be sunny and as soon as I move here the weather turns." I said sarcastically.
Alice beamed. "I see your sarcasm has come back in full swing. It also means that I can spend the spring here. I already arranged it with Carlisle. Jasper and I already discussed this, he will be coming out to visit me, and I will be enrolling into school with you."
"Where are you going to stay?" I asked, trying not to get my hopes up too much.
"With you of course, silly Bella. I already saw your mom saying yes." Alice answered.
I practically jumped into her lap, but as soon as I remembered where I was and why we were here I became composed. I felt so bad for feeling so happy at a time like this.
Alice must've realized because she put her arm around me and said that everything was going to be just fine.
She was right; Logan's mom came out of surgery and was going to fully recover. Renee agreed to let Alice stay with us. My room is big enough that we were able to put an extra bed in there.
Logan took a few days off a school to recover and to help out his mom who was released from the hospital a few days after the incident.
At school on Monday people asked where Logan was, I just told them that he had some family stuff to take care of. I am a terrible liar, but luckily Alice was there to distract most of the people.
I do not blame them. She is so beautiful. Pretty much every guy went gaga over Alice that first day. I could tell that most of the girls were jealous of all of the attention she was getting, but ultimately decided that they wanted to be her friend.
The group of girls, Sam and her clique seemed the most latchkey to Alice, who noticed right away exactly what type of people they were. Alice being Alice was just as sweet as usual, and of course everybody loved her.
After school, I went over to see Logan who stayed home with his mom while Alice called Jasper. Logan has got to be one of the sweetest most thoughtful guys I have ever met. Only one could compare, even though I could say his name, we don't talk much about him. It still hurts.
Logan was sitting in his mom's bedroom reading a book while she slept.
"How is she doing?" I asked.
He smiled weakly. "As good as can be expected. The doctors say that she will be in bed for a week or two, but should make a full recovery.
"That's good, I am so glad to hear that she will be okay. How are you doing?"
He shrugged. "As good as can be expected."
I went over to him, as I wrapped my arms around him I could feel the tears begin to stream down my face. He hugged me back.
"So how did school go today?"
"Oh, you know the usual." I said casually trying to lighten the mood. He gave me a smile. "Actually, I told everyone that you had some family stuff to do, everyone pretty much excepted that. I think having Alice there distracted most people."
He smiled again. "Really? What happened?"
"Well," I said trying to make it slightly more suspenseful and exciting than it really was. "It was as expected, the guys drooled over her. I could totally tell that the girls were completely jealous of her. I mean look at her."
He looked at me. "She is very pretty, but I don't think that she can hold a flame to you." He said this as he pulled me closer to his body into a tight embrace. "I don't know what I would do without you. This has been so hard for me, but having you here with me makes it so much easier. Thank you."
I could feel myself blush. "I am here for you, if there is anything that you need at all I will be here for you. I care about you so much; you have been there for me through my tough times. I only hope I can do the same for you."
I rested my head on his shoulder. We sat there in peaceful silence.
For the first time I ended up spending the night with Logan. Alice came over too, I know she would get board if she didn't, staying away by yourself can get boring. Besides, she helped to make us laugh until we fell asleep.
Over the next few weeks Logan's mom made a full recovery. She ended up filing for a divorce and got pretty much got most of his money, the house, a vacation house, and a car. His dad also spent some time in jail, but just a few nights, you know how it is when people have money and connections like his dad has.
Anyway, baseball team was starting and it is no surprise that Logan is also the school hero in baseball as well as every other major sport at the school.
Alice and I spent a lot of time together while Logan was practicing. We went to every game together, she was able to talk me through everything. I could tell that she was getting home sick, so I told her that she should go home and visit.
She decided to go home for spring break, but she assured me that she would be back afterwards.
While she was gone I realized how much I loved having my sister around.
A/N: I know that this chapter is really short, but I wanted to update today. I will keep writing and try to update again tomorrow. I am hoping to get to prom before the end of the weekend, but we know how good I have been about that lately. I hope this will appease those who are waiting for me to update. I would like to blame r0b0tic vampir for her good stories for why I haven't updated, but I can't. I had major writers block and I have been really busy, I just got home from a week long camp. I will do my best to update more this weekend.
Well, Thanks for everyone who has read and reviewed, it really helps me to keep writing.
