This chapter is a bit lighter. Also, the prom thing isn't all my idea, it came from My Sister's Keeper by Jodie Picoult. Please keep reviewing!

Chap 12:

Elise's POV

I had dozed off after speaking (well, more crying) with Embry and it was the best sleep I had had since the cancer. I awoke to two faces of the girls was nearly sure I remembered seeing in the lunchroom my one day at La Push High.

"Hey, I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Kim and this grouch is Leah," the rather plain one told me, she had a nice smile though.

Leah, the pretty one, grunted at me and tossed a bag at Kim who just barely caught it.

"We were wondering, if you could give us your opinion on our dresses we picked?" Kim asked hopefully.

"Embry mentioned your size to us so we picked out a dress for you to try on too," Leah added, her face brightening at the mention of the dresses.

"But, there's no was I'd be able to go to prom," my voice was so soft compared to theirs that they involuntarily had to lean in to hear me.

"I know," Kim replied, "But trying them on is half the fun anyway!"

"Yeah, we didn't want you to miss out on picking out dresses with your friends," Leah added, placing her hand on mine for a second before pulling out a stunning blue dress that looked a bit small for me, but I had lost a ton of weight. They helped me off of the hospital bed, being careful not to disturb the tubing that went into my nose, knowing how much it helped me breathe. They pulled off my over sized t-shirt and helped me pull the beautiful dress over my sweats. It was perfect. The fluffy taffeta covered skirt was a bit wide in the waist, but Kim pinned it in. The halter top was a good idea on their part because a strapless dress would have slid right off me. It was the palest blue, and totally simple which I thought added to the charm. I felt like a princess.

Kim had nearly the same dress, it was pink and strapless and looked wonderful on her. It was incredibly flattering, making her blush when she saw herself in the mirror.

"I'm beautiful!" she gaped at her reflection.

Leah had just finished settling me back into my bed, "Why are you so surprised?"

Kim blushed some more as she took the dress off again. Leah pulled on her dress and she looked gorgeous. It was green and blue silk made to look almost like a kimono that made Leah look like an exotic princess. Her tan skin glowed, her brown eyes sparkled (the green flecks showed) and her white teeth flashed as she smiled.

"Wow," Kim gasped feeling the same awe that I felt.

Leah turned and looked at us, "Are you catching flies in your mouths?" She laughed as we caught ourselves staring.

I sighed, "You guys are going to have such a great time at prom…"

Leah winked at Kim, but I was too exhausted to notice.

Before I drifted off I whispered, "Leah, promise me you'll take Embry to prom."

Leah looked at Kim again but told me "of course".

I fell asleep smiling.

Embry's POV (The next day, Friday)

Leah and Kim were sneaky. They had tried Elise's prom dress on her without her even realizing what was happening. They told me she looked beautiful, but for some reason their eyes were misty and kind of began choking sometimes. I ignored it though, which was actually pretty easy because things were so busy. The entire pack and I had been granted permission from the school to take the entire day off to decorate a hospital room for our "charity event". Whatever they wanted to call it was fine by me as long as I could be doing something for Elise.

Leah and Kim had hurried home that night to give Kim's mom the dress. Kim's mom is a seamstress, she owns a tailoring shop that also sells custom made clothing. Her mom had agreed to help with Elise, even pulling a few strings to get an up-and-coming local band to play at our dance.

Quil, Jake and I were supposed to be hanging streamers while Jared, Paul and Sam set up some tables and a stage but Jake was moping about Bella. Bella had just recently become engaged to Edward Cullen, the leech, and Jake was convinced that she was the only girl for him. So Quil and I were on our own until Seth came, his mother had forced him to go to school, and he cheerily took Jake's place and soon the entire room was covered with streamers.

We were very proud of ourselves. We had managed to turn a slightly scary, overly sterile hospital room into a relatively welcoming room that looked like it could possibly host a very small prom.

We all headed home to change. All of the pack had either borrowed suits or rented a tux like I had. Carlisle had already explained to me how bad Elise was getting, this could be one of her last memories.

Kim, Leah and Emily had gone to the hospital to get Elise ready, I had given Emily a corsage to give her. I would have run all the way there if I could, but I rode with Jake, Quil, Seth, and Paul to the hospital. Jared and Sam had gone with the girls to assist the doctors and Nurses with the patients who were coming.

The prom was nice, the band hadn't brought any amps and played softly so as not to over excite any of the sick people who were attending. I met Elise at her room and nearly gasped. She looked incredible. Although she was incredibly thin, dragging the oxygen machine behind her and could barely stand on her own she was beautiful. Her blue dress made her look like a doll and Kim had been smart enough to save the extra material to cover her head. I helped Elise to the party room and held her up while we swayed to the music. Leah was dancing with all of the ill guys there and Jake, Quil, Seth and Paul were circulating among the many girls. Then it happened.

Elise's POV

Everything was going great, I was dancing with Embry at my prom. Then, I could hardly breathe, even with the oxygen machine. I felt Embry's hands tighten around me, but the room was spinning. Finally everything turned black.

Alice's POV

I had a vision. I was shifting through the bags of clothes I had bought Bella when I had this vision. It was surprisingly clear in parts which was a change compared to my more recent ones because of the wolves, but then it went black…those stupid dogs, I muttered. But it was a rather interesting vision.
