Auri's Point of View
It provably didn't take my aunt fifteen minutes to arrive at the school and barge into the small office where Jacob, me, and Embry and Quil; who had came into the room as soon as the nurse left to call my aunt.
"Auri! Hun, are you okay!?" Aunt Cathy yelled as she ran into the room, making me jump. She ran directly up to me and gave me a hug.
"Sprained wrist, sprained wrist!" I yelled.
"Oh sorry sweetie." she said with a little giggle. My aunt was the sort of girly girl, and she always had that cute prissy voice.
She let go of me, and looked at my wrist. "So you just sprained your wrist? No fractures? You scared me!"
"I fractured my.." I said looking for the word again.
"Metatarsals." Jacob finished for me. Aunt Cathy finally looked around and say the boys.
"Oh, hello." She said as she stood up. "I'm Cathy, Auri's aunt."
The guys introduced themselves, and each one shook my aunt's hand.
"Wow, the town people are right. You guys are giants!"
I couldn't help it, I let out a laugh. "Yeah Aunti, they're freaks." Leave it to my aunt to blurt out exactly what she was thinking.
"Heyyy! Or maybe your just freakishly short." Embry said, rolling his eyes. Like a young high school girl with attitude.
"Exuse you?" My aunt said seriously.
"Oh no, not you.. Auri." My aunt continued to stare at him. "I'm sorry, sorry!" Embry said quickly, he was clearly worried he had offended my aunt; but I knew better.
My aunt then let out a huge smile. "Just kidding!" Leave it to my aunt, she always had jokes.
I just had to laugh at Embry's expression, he looked confused. "My aunt has a sense of humor, where do you think I get it from?"
"I knew she was kidding," Embry said clearly embarrassed. "and your not that funny Auri."
"Oh, of course not." I said sarcastically.
"So shouldn't you be getting to the hospital?" Jacob said in a sad tone.
"Yeah, that might be a good idea. Can you walk Auri?"
"Yeah I don't think so. Jacob carried me here." I said looking at my swollen foot. Yeah, not a good idea to walk.
"Wanna lend a hand Jacob? Auri is to big and heavy for me."
"Are you calling me fat?" I said in mock hurt.
"Yes." Oh gee thanks. "May you Jacob?"
"Sure sure, no problem." Jacob said with a small smile.
"And shouldn't you boys be getting to class?" She asked as she looked down at her watch. "The bell is about to ring any moment now.." And at that second it rang. "There it is." She said with a smile.
"Yeah I think we should get to class. Come on Embry." Quil said as he stood.
"Can the nurse write you a pass Jacob?" My aunt asked.
"I can go with you to the hospital, if you'd like?"
"Can you? Your not gonna miss anything important?"
"No, I'll make it up. Don't worry."
"And your parents won't mind?"
"No, he'll understand."
"If your sure.."
"Positive."
"Okay well let's go then."
"Well get better Auri. Well see you later." Quil said.
"Later alligator." I looked at Embry, alligator? What drugs was that boy on?
"What?" He asked looking at my amused expression.
"And you call me odd, pfttt.."
"Whatever." He said rolling his eyes.
"Okay, thanks guys. See you guys later."
Embry and Quil walked out, and Jacob picked me up.
"Sorry if I'm heavy, if you want I can hop to the car." I felt weird being carried by Jacob. It was too intimate for a pair of friends.
"Not a chance." Jacob looked down at me, and smiled. I had missed that smile. "Besides you weigh close to nothing."
"Oh, okay. Thanks." I crossed my arms; I was still feeling a tad awkward.
"So, how's your foot? Does it hurt a lot?"
"Not really. The pain numbed out, I still feel it, but it wasn't as bad twenty minutes ago."
"Well that's good."
I felt like a child again as Jacob slid me into my aunt's car. I carefully slid to the other side and rested my feet on the seat next to me, taking the whole back seat.
"Thanks."
"No problem." Jacob said and closed the door.
Jacob got in the front seat with my aunt, and we began our trip to the hospital.
As soon as I saw the words 'Emergency Room' I felt butterflies. I then remembered how much I hated hospitals and doctors.
"Fork's hospital?" Jacob asked, sounding a little worried.
"Yes. Why? Is there anything wrong with this hospital? It was the closest one." My aunt asked, as she looked for parking.
"Yes. Well, err, no." He stuttered, looking for words. Like he was about to say something he shouldn't. "I just never been here."
"Oh, well we're trying it out with our guinea pig. Right Auri?" My aunt joked as she parked her little blue car.
"That's real comforting. Thanks Aunti." Aunt Cathy just giggled. "So are you going to be hopping or shall mister muscle man carry you?"
"I would love to walk, but I think I'm in enough pain. If you don't mind carrying me, Jake?"
"No problem." Jacob came to my side of the door and picked me up and cradled me like I weighed close to zero again.
I bet Jacob felt weird carrying me into the hospital like a child. I laid my head against his chest, and I could hear him breath. It was quite comforting while the nerves were building up. I didn't get squeamish when it came to blood and needles, I was around them all the time. I wanted to be a veterinarian after all, but when it came to be being poked and opened with needles and such, yeah that bothered me.
I heard Jacob hold his breath for a second and his muscles tightened around me as we entered the hospital. I looked up at him and he was slightly scrunching up his nose.
"Hate the smell of hospitals?" I had to assume it was that. Maybe he got nervous just because of the smell, or maybe it brought up bad memories? But I could tell he didn't like being here.
"Huh?" He looked down at me, with a look that looked like it belonged to a hunter.
"The hospital smell. You don't like it." I said as I taped his nose with my good hand. He looked at me with a confused face. "Your making a face, Jake."
"Oh.. Yeah. The smell."
"I personally like the smell, reminds me of cleanness." I mean what's cleaner than a hospital? "Guess so." He said not even looking at me. His attention was else where, and he looked like he was on alert for something.
A nurse came with a wheel chair and Jacob sat me down on it; guess he was tired of carrying me. Another nurse came and gave papers to my aunt to fill out and then they rolled me to room with Jacob and my aunt on my tail.
"A doctor will be with you shortly." The nurse said gently leaving us in a room.
"Can you tell us which one?" Jacob asked. He looks like he was at an edge.
"Which ever doctor is on duty, sir."
"Sure, sure."
Me and my aunt looked at Jacob curiously, he looked anxious.
"Relax Jacob. Auri is the one getting looked at." Aunt Cathy laughed. Jacob was looking around like a child who was waiting for the doctor and wanting to make a run for it.
"Huh?" Jacob seriously wasn't in the same room as we were, he was totally out of it.
"Jake? Are you okay? You can leave if you'd like." I offered. But as soon as I said that, the doctor came in and, oh my gosh was he good looking! He looked like a doctor from a movie. His skin was unnaturally pale, but it was perfectly smooth and clear. But his face was wrinkled as he seemed to be smelling something very unpleasant. But what really caught my attention was that he had the most unusual eye color; they were golden.
"Hello, my name is Dr. Carlisle Cullen." The doctor said as he extended to shake my aunt's hand.
"Hi." She squeaked. Guess she had noticed how good looking the doctor is. I couldn't help but to giggle.
Dr. Cullen then came to me, and shook my hand as well.
I immediately jerked my hand away from Dr. Cullen as soon as he let go of my hand, and Jacob jumped up and was right next to me in a blink of an eye, glaring at the doctor.
"Relax Jacob, I'm not going to hurt her." Dr. Cullen said calmly, intently looking at Jacob. How did Dr. Cullen know Jacob already; I didn't hear him introduce himself? I thought Jacob didn't know this hospital?
"Sorry, your hand is ice cold." I said looking at the doctor hoping I didn't offend him.
"Oh, sorry. I was holding a cold water bottle." Dr. Cullen said politely, but not looking at me but at Jacob. They both looked tense and they both shared a disgusted face. Dr. Cullen tried hiding it more than Jacob; he was more open about it. Jacob looked like he could kill, and that looked actually scared me. He looked like he was standing taller, towering over me, like a mother protecting her young.
My aunt looked at Jacob and the doctor curiously; she was probably thinking what the heck was up between the doctor and him and I was thinking the same thing.
How odd.
Jacob's Point of View
As soon as I was in the hospital my worry proved to be correct, I smelled it; leech.
I had remembered one of the Cullens worked here, and wanted to go to another hospital rather than the one in Forks for Auri. But how could I explain to Auri's aunt, Cathy, that we should dive all the way to Port Angeles or Seattle, which was too far, because in Forks my only natural enemy was there.
I felt Auri's and her aunt's stare on me and Carlisle. I was fighting instinct while I was in the presence of a vampire, and that's not an easy thing to do.
"Enough Jacob, I have a job to do." Carlisle said low enough that Auri and her aunt wouldn't be able to hear. I just huffed in response.
"So what seems to be the problem, Miss Kit?" He asked Auri.
"Auri, doctor. The school nurse said I broke…" The name always slipped her. "Those bones in there." She said motioning to her right foot, laughing her natural soft laugh.
Carlisle laughed as well, that metallic laugh that belonged to a vampire.
The leech bent down on his knee, kneeling to Auri's height on the wheel chair.
He, -no wait- it, grabbed her foot that was polished with bright orange toe nails, and started to gently glide his fingers over her swollen foot. Auri cringed as the blood sucker probably pressed too hard. I was towering over them the whole time, my stare pointed at the leech, just in case he messed up.
"Sorry Auri. So from what I see, and the little that I feel. You definitely broke your metatarsals and maybe the tibia." He glided his hand over Auri's ankle. "Which is right there."
"Ouch. So please tell me your not going to open my foot or poke a needle anywhere." Auri pleaded, she sounded worried.
"You want to be a Vet and your scared of a little needle?" Auri's aunt laughed.
"Eyyy. It's different when your the one giving the shot and then it's another to receive it." Auri snapped back. It seemed she really didn't enjoy needles. I was going to kill Embry when I saw him, this was his fault. She didn't hurt herself too bad when she fell but Embry broke her foot with a hug.
"Can't promise you that. But it doesn't seem like we need to. I just need an X-ray, and we'll see the best way to treat the fracture."
"Okay. And my wrist, Dr. Cullen?" She then handed out her wrist to the blood-sucker.
"The nurse had said it was a sprain but just to make sure."
"Sure, I'll take a look at it." The leech glided his hand over her wrist briefly before coming to a conclusion. "Looks like a sprain, no worries there Auri. That should be fine in a couple of weeks."
The leech then stood up and smiled politely. "So a nurse will come to get Auri to get an X-ray, and then we'll be back here and review the results."
The leech looked reluctant to leave, like he said something to say, but didn't know how to say it.
He had on a torn expression. "Auri, are you Quileute?"
Auri looked at the leech with a confused look. "Yes sir, only half. Why do you ask?"
Weird question to ask, of course she is. From what Auri had told me she looked like her Quileute mother but still had some of her father's characteristics. But her mother's characteristics over powered her dad's, there was no question about if she was from Quileute decent or not.
The leech still had a curious expression and he looked at me. "Jacob?" He asked.
Was he asking me if I was Quileute too? That was seriously a dumb question, he knew this. We had a treaty with the leech, how could he forget?
The leech raised his eye brows, looking a bit frustrated. What the--oh, wait, I know.
"No." I said bluntly. The leech had thought Auri was also a werewolf.
He then nodded and left the room. As a mythological creature himself, he needed to know if we needed to cover up anything.
"I'm going to kill him." Auri said in a serious tone. I just had to laugh at that, Auri wasn't the violent type.
"Who?" I asked, snickering. Auri shot me a glare. Wow, she was serious. I didn't take her for someone who had a temper.
"Embry." She said, as if the name offended her.
"Aurora Marie Kit, don't talk like that!" Auri's aunt exclaimed, pronouncing Auri's full name. "That's just rude."
Auri rolled her eyes in response. "Whatever."
A nurse then came in and took Auri to get the X-rays, leaving me anxious that Auri was out of my sight. Yeah, sad, I know. Overprotective werewolf, what can I say? It felt like an eternity, but Auri came back with the leech rolling her in the wheel chair. I almost growled, but contained it. I'm sure Auri and her aunt saw the tension between the leach and I and how I acted towards him.
"Well Auri, the damage is pretty bad." The blood sucker started as he slapped the x-rays against the light board, and started pointing at what looked like Auri's foot. "What did you do, kick a wall?" He said, with a chuckle.
"No, a oversized, teenaged boy." Auri said through gritted teeth.
"A quileute teenaged boy." I emphasized.
The leech chuckled again. "That explains allot."
Auri's Point of View
"That explains allot." Uhh, does it? Jacob and acted so strangely, like if they were talking in code.
Did I mention how much I hate being the patient in a hospital? Personal hell wouldn't describe it.
I felt like I was in that little hospital room for half an eternity.
"There we go, Auri. We're all done." said as he finished wrapping my foot and ankle.
I looked down at my foot, it was now decorated with a bright green cast. Wonderful.
"How long until I get it off?" I asked .
"I'd say about two to three weeks."
"Oh? That's not too bad, I guess."
stood up. "Alright, well my work is done. I hope you have a fast recovery, and let's try and not to hit any of the boys, right Auri? It hurts you more than it hurts them." He said, sounding amused, looking at me then at Jacob. He made it sound like a piece of advice. I couldn't help but to think there was something they were hiding.
So now for about two weeks I would have to limp everywhere or use crutches. I held on to Jacob for support as we walked out of the hospital room and into the lobby.
"So you kids wait here, and I get the car?" My aunt suggested. "It's raining, and you can't get that thing wet." She said pointing at the cast. Oh right.
"Okay. We'll wait here."
Jacob and I sat there in silence, awkwardly. There was things that needed to be said, but who would start?
"I'm sorry." Jacob suddenly blurted out, answering my mental question to myself.
"Yeah. I'm sorry too. But you have to understand, there's things I can't share with you just yet." I said looking straight, I saw Jacob's hurt expression from the corner of my eye.
"I out of all people can understand that. There's secrets I keep as well." I couldn't help but to feel hurt. He's keeping things as well?
"Time, I guess." I said, finally turning to look at Jacob. "Your a good guy Jacob, I.. Don't wanna lose you." Wooah! Did I just blurt that out?!
Jacob had that mesmerizing smile on his face, that I adored. "You won't." I practically felt my face split in two with this ridiculous grin I had on my face. Jacob's face then turned serious. "Problem is, once you know what I'm keeping from you, will I lose you?" I was immediately confused. "Wha.." I went to speak but my aunt's honking interrupted me as she pulled up in the sheltered entrance of the hospital. Jacob smiled, and stood, helping me get up as well.
"So friends?" Jacob proposed. I nodded.
Mystery was most definitely not my thing, I was now filled with worry by Jacob's words.
Jacob Black, what are you hiding?
This chapter was more of a filler.. nothing too interesting happened, so I guess it was pretty boring. Next Chapter will be better.. and it will be soon. Don't forget to review..
