*discliamer*

another update. Please review again, love reading what you all think of this story. Ok if you remember in 'falling for you' I wrote in the epilogue that nina gets together with Isaac and that is still happening but I just want to tell you I've been planning when those two get together and I'm so frickin' excited to be writing that I hope I can do it justice of what I've got in my head.

It was February and I was back into full swing of things in the hospital, sure things were harder now as last week I seen sarah meeting mark in the cafeteria.

Flashback

I was heading down to the wards when I passed the cafeteria. I glanced in and seen a face I remembered well. Sarah's. She was sat with mark giggling and laughing, I must of stared for too long because mark looked up and met my eyes. In a flash he was out if his seat, across the cafeteria and coming my direction. As soon as my feet and brain began working together and I turned in the opposite direction and was practically running away.

"Nina wait!" He called but I ignored him.

"Nina!"

"Nina Olivia black please just wait!" He yelled really loud. Everyone was staring so I stopped. I turned on my feet and he was in front of me.

"Oh... You stopped"

"Yep" this couldn't be more awkward.

"Listen what you just sa-"

"Save your breath mark. I know exactly what I just saw and guess what I don't care. I hope your both happy together, I really do because I don't do jealous, not with you... Not any more. Just know what you've lost and you'll never get again"

"Nina..." He said softly.

"No. You've lost me and your never going to get me back. You done this yourself the day you jumped back into bed with that hoe! Honestly your welcome to each other... Goodbye mark" I said and turned around with a satisfied smile and walked away with my head held high. I'd done myself proud.

Flashback over

I'd seen sarah around a couple of times now, meeting mark outside the hospital after a shift. We ignore each other completely, it's kinda sad really, she was one of my best friends and now we can barley stand the sight of each other. When I got home, I flipped through my mail and pressed the answering machine as it was flashing and let the voices play out into the apartment it was my mom.

'Nina honey... Oh you must be at work. Damn ok, well call me as soon as you get in it's an emergency. I love you baby girl' was she crying? She sure sounded like she was... That's odd. I frowned and pressed three on the dial pad and it began calling her back.

"Hello?" Annalee answered. what?

"Hey.. Mom left me a voicemail? Is everything ok?"

"No"she sniffed up a little "mom, nina's on the phone" I heard some shuffling around and then moms voice.

"Honey, I'm glad you called me back... Something's happened"

"What?"

"It's your grampa Charlie... He's had a heart attack and well..."

"Well what?"

"He's passed away nina" she said before breaking out into tears down the phone. I heard my dad comforting her before jett got on the phone to me. He was saying something or other but I couldn't really concentrate on him. My grampa was dead, and I'd just found out over the phone... And I was thousands of miles away.

"I'm coming home" I said abruptly down the phone.

"Ok... Text me and I'll pick you up" jett told me.

"Okay... I'm going to book a flight now. I'll see you tomorrow" and then I hung up the phone. Holding back my tears I called my boss and took two weeks immediate leave because of a death in the family. She agreed straight away knowing how far away my family live. I got on my laptop and found a flight leaving at 11pm tonight. After packing a suitcase I was on my way to the airport and going home again.

Jett picked me up at the airport and we were on our way home from the airport. He seems to be holding together well.

"How's things at home?" I asked breaking our silence.

"Tense. Sad. A bit of everything really. Nobody quiet knows what to do" I nodded.

"Moms trying to put on a brave face but it's like as soon as it gets mentioned or she thinks about it, she's breaking down in tears. It's killing dad to see her like that, knowing there's nothing he can do. Embrys trying to keep annalee calm but that's not really working"

"Why?"

"She's due in a month neens, and now with all this happening so suddenly... You won't remember but I do a little. Mom had annalee early, a month early. It was awful to see happening, we were staying up at the Cullen house at the time with moms due date closing in. I'm not sure where you were, with Rosalie or Alice I presume but I was playing with grampa Edward and grandma Bella, when suddenly dad was calling from outside, grampa was up and out of the house in seconds. The next thing I knew... Mom was being carried into the house, by grampa. She was covered in so much blood neens, so was grampa from mom and then dad came in, he was the same expect he was panicking, he was also covered in blood. I was screaming and crying for my mom but emmett was holding me back, took ages for someone to calm me down and then we found out we had a baby sister. Who was a little Smaller but she was ok"

"Oh god, why have I never heard this before?"

"Mom doesn't like to talk about it" I nodded

"So mom and annalee-" he nodded.

"Yeah they could have died"

"That's why embrys freaking out with annalee" I stated and jett nodded.

"Really she should be fine but you know how we get" I nodded and for the rest of the ride back we drove In silence. It was the middle of the night and when we got back the house was in silence. Jett dropped me off and I headed inside. I left my suitcase downstairs and climbed the stairs as quietly as I could and into the bedroom that was mine when I stayed over. As soon as my head hit the pillow sleep took over.

When I woke there was a small warm hand soothing over my forehead and hair. My eyes fluttered open to see my mom gazing down at me, god she looked bad. Her eyes were swollen and red and overall she looked as if she'd only had a couple hours sleep. Normally my mother looked flawless, hardly a hair out of place but today well she looked like hell.

"Hey moma" I whispered, a small smile played on her lips.

"Hey baby girl, when did you get here?"

"Through the night. Jett dropped me off"

"Oh I'm sorry, you must be exhausted and I've woken you up" she made to get up but I grabbed her hand.

"It's ok. I've missed you"

"I've missed you too baby. You want breakfast?" I got up out of bed.

"I'll do it"

"It's ok, I need to" I heisted but nodded. She needed the distraction. When we headed downstairs, dad was stood there frowning at the number of cards and flowers in the kitchen. Mom clearly hadn't seen any of these because she stopped frozen in her tracks.

"So... News travels fast huh?" She whispered and dad spun around on his feet and came over to us, wrapping his arms around mom. Her face was buried in his neck as he reached for my hand.

"Hi baby" he mouthed and I gave him a small smile.

"I'm sorry Nessie baby, there was a delivery and then all of this... And then the post and all of the cards. I didn't know what to do" she sniffled a little and stood back up.

"We'll keep them, it's kind enough that people sent them, now I need to make breakfast then call my mom and see when she's going to get here" and this was how she was running. She was closed down to everyone and putting on a brave face. I'd seen her cry a couple of times, the first time was when sue arrived, she looked a mess too. Then my grandma Bella and grampa Edward arrived, more tears were spilt. The funeral would take place in a week and it was a long, upsetting drawn out week.

(One week later)

We were all stood in the cemetery, wearing black as my great grandfather was lowered into the ground as we all bid our final fairwells to him. As I cast my eyes around the cemetery I saw my mom, clutching my dads arm as he wrapped his arms around her. She needed him so much right now. I saw jett his arm wrapped possessively around Eliza's shoulders, but I was him who needed the comforting, I could see she was doing that, as she lightly kissed his side and hugged him to her, there son standing at there feet as he held onto his fathers legs. Then there was my sister who everyone had been on egg shells around all week but really she was fine, just as jett had expected she would be. Her dress hugged her large bump tightly, embry stood at her side his arm around her waist and hand rested on her bump and there daughter in his arms as she clung to his neck. A lot of the pack were hers too as they all knew Charlie and loved him dearly. Sam, Emily and there children were present, aunt Rachel, uncle Paul, Annabelle, Sarah and William. Kim, jared and Isaac. Seth with skyler who was also pregnant with there first child, who was In fact due one month after annalee. Leah was with Kaine, those two seem to be really going strong. And finally there was my grandmother Bella, with our grandfather and sue. If our grandma could cry I know she would of been, she was a wreck. Her last real link to the human world was gone. Her father was gone. Sue had lost her husband, but it was times like this were we all leaned on each other for help and support. We were our own pack.
