Time is Running out

I think I'm drowning Asphyxiating

I wanna break the spell That you've created

You're something beautiful A contradiction

I wanna play the game I want the friction

You will be The death of me

Yeah, you will be The death of me

I thanked all of the boys quickly and then Grampa said that I needed my rest. I guess I did.

I spent the next three days in the hospital because Grampa wanted me to. Embry stayed with me the first night. I saw him fall asleep on the chair next to my bed. He looked so adorable and I hated to wake him up but it wouldn't have been right for him to sleep on a chair. Then I remembered my super strength. It always comes in handy! All I did was close the blinds but then he woke up and spoiled my surprise.

"What are you doing?" Embry asked sleepily.

Think quick!

"um..I can't sleep with blinds open."

"Ok."

Embry tried to get comfortable in the chair but to no avail.

"Embry, um do you want to sleep in the bed with me? I mean because it wouldn't be fair if I let you sleep on the chair with all you've done for me. I mean the beds big enough for the both of us and I wouldn't mind-"

His lips were on my cheek in a second. It was only a peck but it made me shut up.

"You were ranting kind of and that's what my cousin does to his girlfriend when she does that."



"Oh..well then let's go to bed." I whispered.

He put his hand on my lower back and lead me to the bed. He pulled down the covers and picked me up.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"I'm putting you to bed."

He's WHAT?? Well I had no choice in the matter while he laid me down on the bed and tucked me in. I felt like a five year old again. It was refreshing but slightly creepy. Embry then walked around the bed and laid next me but above the covers. His breathing lulled me to sleep.

For the next two days, Embry and Jared usually visited during the afternoon. Jared was really funny and made me laugh while Embry sat there and held my hand. He took care of me and was very kind. If I was hungry or thirsty, Embry would immediately get whatever I was craving.

Paul and Sam only visited once, the first time I ever saw them. I mean come on you find a girl shot and you don't even visit her. Well some people have jobs and some others do not.

Quil came once after the first time I met him but He stayed for a few hours. He is really passionate about motorcycles. I learned a lot from him. Quil talked a lot about personal stuff too. How Jacob was hanging out more with Sam and Jared and not him and Embry. It was really sad but I guess Quil and Embry haven't changed yet.

Well anyways, I finally get to leave the hospital today. The bad news is that I have no clothes and no place to live.

"How are you today PJ?" Tracey, a nurse that had been assigned to me. She knew about my problems and understood what it was like.

She had long blonde hair and dark brown eyes. She was truly breath-taking and was about to get married in four months.

"Oh I'm peaches and cream!" I said sarcastically. She laughed and gave me a big dark blue Kathy Van Zeeland purse.

"I looked at your clothing size and bought you a few things."

Aw! I can't believe she would do that for me.

"You didn't have too!"

"Yes I did! Now open it!"



I opened the bag and found a white tank top, a black long sleeve shirt, dark blue jeans, red heart hoop earrings, white flip flops, orange converse with socks, green bermuda shorts and a yellow cami with black polka dots. There was also the basics: razors, shampoo, condtioner, makeup and etc.

"Oh my- You seriously didn't have too!"

"Well then I can keep these then."

I looked up and saw Steve Madden Locked Pumps in Turquoise. I had almost died and went to heaven when I saw the In Style magazine. What? Hey when all there is on television is old reruns of Days of Our Lives, you either read, look at magazines or find out if Josh is the father of Pat's baby or if she's actually a man.

"You didn't! They must of cost a fortune!"

"Actually they didn't have my size so I looked at them in your size!"

I leaped off the bed and hugged her.

"Well I have to get back to work so I'll see you around ok?" Tracey said.

I nodded and she left the room, closing the door after her.

I stripped off my hospital gown and changed into the jeans and tank top. I was lacing my converse when Embry entered the room.

"Hey!" I said smiling.

"Hey PJ. I have great news."

"Yeah what is it?"

"I found you a place to stay."

"Where?"

"At my house."

At his house? What? Is he on drugs??

"Ok..Why at your house?"

"Because we have an extra room and my mom needs some help in her flower shop."

"Okie dokie!"



Without another word, we left the hospital and walked down the road to La Push. Half way down the road Embry stopped walking and looked at me.

"Hey PJ, I'm really glad your okay." He said shyly.

"Aw thanks! You're like a big old teddy bear."

With that I hugged him around his neck and I realized I had to be on my tip toes to reach him.

We hugged what it seemed like forever until we heard a familiar voice say,

"Well you guys seem comfortable."

We pulled apart and saw that it was Jacob.
