Chapter 11: One of us.
Paul's P.O.V
I couldn't believe it; the love of my life was laying in a hospital bed fighting for her life. I should have been able to protect her that was my job; I was supposed to do everything in my power to keep her safe. She looked so frail as she laid there tubes and machines helping her breathe, her brother holding her hand talking to her as if she was awake.
"Paul, it's not your fault." I glared at Sam, it was my fault. I could have been a better guy for her; I could have convinced her that I loved her instead of just giving up on her.
"It is my fault Sam." I couldn't even get angry I was too worried about my Kaya to worry about stupid emotions such as anger. The whole back stood around me as we looked into her room, none of them spoke as Jake walked out.
"How is she?" I asked but he just looked at me before walking away, I looked at everyone else before I walked into her room. She had been here for three days and nothing has changed she's unresponsive to everyone. The doctors say she should get better but it's not definite, she had hit her head in a rock and she had been close to hypothermia due to the cold water. I sat down in the chair where Jacob had been only minutes before and I held her hand in mine, it was warm but it was probably due to the fever she was running.
"Kaya, its me again. I know you can't hear me but I want you to know I love you so much and I was a prick to you. Julie wasn't anything to me, she was Embry's cousin and she kissed I don't like her. No one could ever take your place in my heart. I really want you to know I would die for you, if I could take your place right now I would." For the hundredth time since Kaya has been in the hospital I felt my eyes fill with tears again. I couldn't lose her not now, I would do anything for her. I held her hand a little tighter as I leaned in to kiss her cheek; hmm she definitely had a fever.
"Kaya please fight this and come back to us, we need you. I need Kaya; I need you more than anything. I wish you could hear me say this because everything I am saying is stuff I wish I could have said when I first met you. I am so worried I'll never get to be with you Kaya, please wake up." With another kiss to her cheek I got up and left so the others could talk to her, it had been our daily ritual since she was put here. Silently I walked down the white halls and out to the waiting room where Jake was sitting. I sat down silently beside him, I was such a bad friend I caused his sister so much pain.
"Jake I am sorry." He didn't even look up from the floor as I spoke, I knew he wouldn't forgive me.
"I know Paul, I am too. I should have seen this coming, she was miserable when she got home, it wasn't your entire fault." I nodded, I knew his words were supposed to make me feel better but they didn't I still felt responsible. We sat in silence for what seemed like hours as the rest of the pack and their girls filed out of the hallway. Without a word we all went our separate ways passing the vamps on our way out. I glared daggers at them all a silent warning for them not to go near Kaya.
Kaya's P.O.V
I couldn't move, I couldn't speak and I couldn't see but I could hear. I heard my friends and family spill their hearts out to me as I lay here, I could only guess I was in the hospital from their desperate pleas. When my brother spoke I so desperately wanted to let him know that I heard him, he was crying every time he spoke. I wanted to cry with him and hug him again; I wanted to let him know that I was sorry for what I had done. Jake was breaking my heart, I felt so guilty for wanting to leave, and Jake needed me even if I couldn't see it. He told me that he missed me so much and that he wished our sisters could see me for the girl I had grown into but I didn't want them too. I had become such a bad person, I was hurting everyone.
Paul cried as well when he spoke, I could hear it the way his voice cracked from time to time. I could feel his warm hand in mine and I wanted to squeeze it and let him know I loved him too. I didn't deserve someone as loving and caring as him but I wanted him more than anyone. I was a selfish person by doing what I had done, he tried to stop me but I wouldn't listen I only thought of myself and now I broke his heart.
Everyone else begged me to wake up and told me how much they missed me. Emily told me that she knew I was strong enough to fight this but I couldn't believe it, I was giving up. Sam told me that Paul needed me, that they all needed me in one way or another. Jared and the rest of the boys told me how much of a sister I had become to them; I loved those boys so much. Leah told me that she loved me and she needed me to keep her sane. Kim made me just as upset as Paul as she told me all her deepest secrets and she told me how she saw Jared and herself in me and Paul.
I wanted to wake up, I had to will myself to open my eyes but it didn't happen. All I could do was lay in the darkness and listen to everyone I love confess how they were feeling. I had to suffer through their pain and I knew it was my entire fault. If I had been less selfish, if I had looked around at all the people who cared instead of thinking of those who didn't.
"Kaya, I am sorry for what he did to you. I know you probably can't hear me and even if you can I doubt you care what I have to say. Bryce told us what happened the night before he left and I have to tell you Kaya, what he did was wrong. Though it happened your still the same girl don't doubt yourself." I couldn't believe it, Emmett had come to see me. None of the Cullen's made the trip to see me, either they didn't know or didn't care; well at least that's what I thought.
"Kaya you're a beautiful girl and I hope you see that. You grew to become a sister to me and to see you like this breaks my heart but I know you will get better soon. When you get better remember that you're amazing and that the wolf loves you so don't give up just because Bryce hurt you." I felt him squeeze my hand once but it never left mine. His cold hand stayed in mine. I needed to wake up; I needed to thank him for everything he said. I needed to tell my family that I was sorry. Mustering all my strength and will power I began to force my eyes open. At first all I saw was white and I thought I hadn't accomplished much until I heard the beeping of machines and the cold hand leave mine.
"Doctor, she's awake!" I heard a familiar voice call as the cold hand fell on my arm. I tried to speak but there was a tube stuck in my mouth. Soon I heard move voices and foot a step, the tube was removed by warms hands and soon I could speak.
"Emmett." My voice was raw due to lack of use and I felt his cold hand in mine as I looked over at his face.
"God Kaya you gave us a scare." Behind the young vampire I could see his family smiling. I smiled but I wanted my family, I wanted to see my love and my friends.
"Emmett can you call my family." He nodded looking toward Jasper who took off down the hall. I smiled at Emmett still trying to get used to the white room and the fact my body was on fire but it was probably because I had a fever most likely. I stayed silent as his cold hand stroked my warm one, soon he had to say goodbye because my brother and friends were coming.
"Goodbye little one." I nodded. After he left I stared at all the machines around me, I always hated hospitals. They were to sterile too clean for my liking, soon though my brother ran in to my room.
"Kaya!" his voice was filled with happiness as he hugged me in the bed, I smiled.
"Jake, I love you so much and heard everything you said. I heard what all of you said." I looked at all the people that filled my room, my eyes locking with Paul's as he tried to look away. Soon I was bombarded with hugs and friendly words, I felt so at home again but I still felt guilty.
"I am so sorry guys, I shouldn't have done that, I was selfish." I was crying as I looked at the people who loved me, I was never going to leave these people again.
"Don't be sorry, we all should have known something was wrong. Just never leave us again." Kin hugged me tight before her and the rest of pack walked out all except Paul. He awkwardly moved over the chair next to my bed as I tried to sit up a little.
"Paul, I am sorry I shouldn't have overreacted. I shouldn't have left the first time to go with Bryce and I shouldn't have jumped." I took his hand in mine and looked into his eyes. His face was stoic but his eyes held so much, I felt tears fall from my eyes as I looked at him.
"No Kaya it's my fault, I shouldn't have let you go but I'm never doing it again. I wont let you leave me again." He leaned down and kissed me, it felt wonderful and felt completely at peace. I didn't deserve him but Emmett was right, just because of what I did, it didn't mean I wasn't the same girl. I was still Kaya Black, that was never going to change and I am always going to be in love with Paul.
"I'm never leaving so you don't have to let me go I promise."
I walked out of my bedroom and headed downstairs, I had been home for three days but I still had a wretched fever. Sighing I walked into my crowded kitchen, couldn't they eat somewhere else. I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist as I reached for a plate of food.
"Good morning Paul." I smiled leaning into my loves arms; I was finally able to be safe with him. Ever since I was released we spent every minute together, telling each other how much we loved each other.
"Good morning, you still running that fever?" he asked concerned, my brother looked up as did the rest of the pack that was in my kitchen.
"Yea and I'm still really tired." Soon everyone was staring at me as Sam approached me, I was concerned because they all looked very worried. Was something wrong with me? Sam stared at me as he felt my head, then my neck and hand.
"Jake, your sister is becoming one of us. Kaya's phasing." That's when my world began to spin.
