Chapter Thirteen: Awakenings

~Cullen's House~ Saturday

EJ's PoV

I sat waiting, waiting for Maddi to wake and waiting for mom to tell us about her disappearing act. I also was waiting for Maddi to snap, but I knew it wasn't going to happen until she woke up.

"Seth," she murmured for the second time.

"Is Seth her boyfriend or something?" Edward asked.

"Yes," I answered, not taking my eyes off of Maddi.

"How long?" mom asked.

"Since a week after Grandpa Charlie died," I answered.

"Oh," said mom, quietly.

"When did that happen?" asked Alice.

"About two summers ago," I answered, "we had just gotten done with exams, when we got a phone call from Jake telling us that that Charlie died."

"How?"

"Heart attack," answered mom.

"We just saw him a few months before too, that's what made it worst," I answered, misery and pain filled me along with sadness.

"One of the very few times I ever saw Maddi cry," I said.

"Does she even show emotion?" asked Jasper.

"Yes, it's just that you can't feel it unless she has her shield off, which is really when she's sleeping."

"She has very interesting dreams," said Edward.

I laughed, too heard this was nothing, "Maddi is different than she appears," I said.

"You too," said Edward.

Maddi then laughed and rolled over onto the floor. She then opened her eyes, sat up and looked around, very quickly, before she put a hand to her forehead. "Ow," she whispered, before she put her head into her knees.

"Maddi?" I asked.

"Can you get me some Advil EJ?" she asked me, not taking her head out of her knees.

"It probably would be best if you didn't take any medicine," said Carlisle, coming over to check her head.

"Cold," she whispered, as Carlisle examined her head.

"Maddi?" I said again.

"Yes?" she asked.

"How badly does it hurt?"

"Not as bad as last time, but still a lot."

"Like a migraine?" I asked.

"Not as bad as that," she answered.

"Maddi could you take your head out of your knees?" asked Carlisle.

She slowly lifted her head, and I saw her face was calm, but her eyes were squeezed shut. "EJ where are we?"

"In the old white house," I answered.

"Is the hole still in the roof," she asked, smiles appeared on both of are faces.

"So you made the hole in the roof?" Emmett asked us.

"I didn't mean to, I fell right into an empty room," she said, as she opened her eyes, then she blushed as in realizing what she said.

"See Edward, I told you I didn't make that hole," Emmett yelled.

"Ow," yelled Maddi, and her head once again disappeared.

Mom came out of the other room at the sound of Maddi's voice, Rosalie and Esme following behind.

"Emmett, can you keep it down a bit?" I asked.

He just stay down and kept his mouth closed. Maddi's head reappeared and she jumped up to her feet, as she saw mom. I was at her side in a second; my hands wrapped around hers and kept them as fists.

"Maddi, not know," I whispered to her.

She tried to move her hands and just kept them at her side, "EJ," she growled.

"No Maddi, you just woke up and your head hurts," I hissed.

"Can I at least talk to her?" she asked.

I rolled my eyes, "I know you Madds, your not one to just 'talk'."

"Then I'll get it all out right now Edward," she said, as she kicked my leg out from underneath me, my hands let go of hers, and I was on the ground.

She just glared at are mother and then started to yell at her.
