Sakura02: well, if I didn't break her ankles she would've kept getting up and trying to attack James and that wouldn't have been good.

Meco45: Ouch, I'm sorry you broke your ankles! I've never broken a bone before and I hope I never do. My sister broke her leg once and it seemed very painful.

SaiyukiSucker: :) :) :) :) :) :)

Thank you: Haruna Uchiha for reviewing.

More reviews would make me write longer chapters –hint hint-


"Juliet, please wake up." Matthew whimpered. He was sitting beside Juliet's hospital bed holding her hand. She hadn't woken up since the shot Carlisle gave her.

"Matthew…your hand is really cold." Juliet smiled weakly. Her vision went in and out of focus as she took in her surroundings. "Is everyone okay?"

"I'm so glad you're okay!" Matthew climbed into the bed and hugged Juliet tightly. "Everyone's okay! Bella is in the room next to yours. How do you feel?" Matthew rained kisses all over Juliet's cheeks and smiled as she giggled.

"I can't feel my ankles." Juliet pouted.

Matthew hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry that I didn't get there before you got hurt. It's all my fault."

Juliet gave Matthew a one arm hug. "That's not true. You did save me! And I'm fine so it's okay!" She frowned as she thought back to what James had said. "Hey, Matthew, how come James said he knew your mommy?"

Matthew pulled away from Juliet and sat beside her on the bed. He stretched his legs out and wiggled his toes. "I don't know. My mom never told me what her job was. Sometimes, she'd disappear for a long time and leave me home by myself."

"I see you're finally awake." Carlisle smiled as he walked in. He first ruffled Matthew's hair and then Juliet's. "Your ankles seem to be healing remarkably quickly, Miss Juliet. Luckily, it seems only one of them was broken. The other was just twisted badly."

Juliet grinned. "Can I have a pink cast? Oh! Does Grandpa Billy know what happened?"

Carlisle smiled sadly. "I'm afraid so, Juliet. He's not happy at all. He'll meet us at the airport when we return to Washington."

"Is he going to let me see Matthew still?" Juliet didn't like the long pause. "That's not fair! I wanna talk to him right now!"

Carlisle sighed as he handed Juliet his cellphone. "I don't think you talking to your grandfather is going to change much."

Juliet was silent as the phone rang. She held Matthew's hand tightly as she waited for her grandfather to pick up the phone. "Grandpa Billy?...I'm okay! Mr. Carlisle said I'm healing really fast…Please don't be mad at Matthew and his family…but…no…I don't care!....'cause it's not Matthew's fault I got hurt!....if you don't let me play with Matthew anymore, I won't speak to you!...Please?...'cause he's my best friend…"

Matthew watched the emotions playing across Juliet's face. They went from sad, to angry, to sad again, and finally a bright smile lit across her face. "Juliet, can I talk to your grandpa for a minute?"

Juliet hesitated before nodding her head. "Grandpa Billy, Matthew wants to talk to you so be nice to him, okay?" She reluctantly handed the phone to Matthew.

"Mr. Billy, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't of let Juliet get hurt like that. If you'll let her still be my friend, I promise I won't let her get hurt ever again." He chewed nervously on his lip as he waited for Billy's answer. His eyes lit up when he heard a reluctant affirmative. "Thank you, Mr. Billy!"

Juliet took the phone from Matthew. "Thank you Grandpa Billy! I love you and I miss you and Uncle Jacob." She hung up the phone and handed it back to Carlisle. "Thanks Mr. Carlisle."

Carlisle chuckled. "Well aren't you the spoiled little princess."


"Wow, you both look pretty." Juliet said shyly as Alice and Rosalie walked down the stairs in their prom dresses. "Where's Eddie and Bella?"

"Oh, we're going to meet them there." Alice giggled. She ruffled Juliet and Matthew's hair. "How's your ankle doing, Juliet?" She gently tapped the hot pink cast that adorned Juliet's left leg.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks for signing it." Juliet grinned as she looked at all of the little messages scrawled neatly across her cast.

"You wanna go play?" Matthew asked. He took Juliet's hand in his and gently pulled her onto his back. He carried her up the stairs and into his room. He carefully put her on the ground. "Let's color, okay?"

Juliet sat down next to Matthew. She placed the coloring book in her lap and began coloring. The two children kept the colors in between them and they colored silently for a while. Matthew was aware when Esme poked her head in to make sure the two were all right before leaving the two alone.

Matthew blinked when Juliet grabbed his face and quickly kissed him. "What was that for?"

Juliet grinned. "'Cause I love you. You're supposed to kiss the people you love."

"Oh…" Matthew leaned down and kissed Juliet. "I love you too!"

"Hey," Esme smiled as she stuck her head into the room. "I've made you two a pallet in the living room if you want to come down and watch a movie."

Matthew carried Juliet back down the stairs and the two children laid down on the soft comforter on the floor. The two were on the their stomachs holding hands while they watched a Disney movie. Juliet wanted to stay awake to see Alice and the others. As the clock ticked closer to midnight, her eyes began drooping.

Matthew looked over and smiled when he saw Juliet was sleeping. With his free hand, he moved her stray hair from her face and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Juliet. I promise I won't leave you again."

Despite the fact that she was asleep, Juliet smiled.


And….there's the end of the Twilight book. Next chapter will start New Moon! Will Matthew be able to keep his promise to Juliet? Will the two be able to remain friends as things begin to drastically change around them? Review please?
