Ch 21 We're okay
Seth's P.O.V
It happened to fast. That damn red head ran out onto the road and I swerved out of panic. God, there was blood on the window where Jessie hit her head and she wasn't waking up!
"Baby, please wake up." I whispered, my head pressed against hers.
"Seth!" Embry called, opening my door. "She's bleeding man, we have to get her out of here before the red head doubles back."
I growled when he tried to reach for her, making him step back. I knew he was just trying to help, but my imprint was hurt and the wolf side of me was not going to let anyone else touch her.
"Seth, we have to get her out of here and to a hospital." He said in a softer tone, trying to calm me down.
"Sorry." I mumbled, and cradled Jessie in my arms, getting out of the truck.
"It's alright man, let's just get out of here." He said, leading me over to his truck I didn't even realize was there.
"What happened?" I asked him, pulling Jessie closer to me.
"We had her, but the bitch slipped us and before we knew what was happening, she was running towards the road. I think she did it on purpose, like she knew it was a wolf in the car." Embry gripped the steering wheel tighter.
"Paul and Jared saw you guys hit the tree, but Sam made them chase the red head. They're to unstable right now, so Sam sent me."
I nodded to let him know I heard as we reached the hospital.
Embry grabbed my arm before I got out of the truck, making me growl at him. "Listen, you have to let the doctors take her. Do not growl at them, just let them help her."
"I'll try." I grounded out, running to the hospital doors.
"Oh my god, what happened?" River's mom Teresa asked, running over to us.
"Car accident, she hit her head and hasn't woken up." Embry explained.
"Here, lay her down on the gurney." I did reluctantly and was about to grab her again when another doctor touched her, but Embry pulled me back.
"They're helping her." He reminded me.
"She'll be okay Seth." Teresa said, putting her hand on my arm before following the doctor to some room.
I sighed and slid down the wall.
"I failed her again." I put my head in my hands.
I heard Embry sigh and sit down beside me.
"No you didn't. If you didn't put your arm out then she would be in even worse condition, so you did good and she'll be okay. Jessie's strong man, she's not dieing any time soon."
I said nothing and we sat in silence until we heard the others arrive.
"Seth?" Collin yelled, running towards me, Brady behind him. "How is she?"
"I don't know yet." I shook my head. "Did you catch her?"
"No, Paul and Jared lost her when she ran towards the Canadian border." Brady growled.
I growled myself and turned, punching the wall. Then leaned my head against it, breathing heavy.
"Seth, calm down." Sam said, laying his hand on my shoulder.
It wasn't a command and I could hear the worry in his voice as he said it. Looking behind me, I saw Emily standing there with tears in her eyes, making me feel worse. I wasn't the only one who loved her.
"Excuse me? Are you the family of Jessie Cameron?" The doctor asked.
"Yes." Sam answered for all of us.
"She's awake," I breathed a sigh of relief. "She has a cut on the side of her head that we stitched up. I asked her some questions, but she can't seem to remember what happened to bring her to the hospital so we're positive she has a concussion. I would like to order a cat scan so we could make sure there's no internal bleeding or swelling of the brain. I need her parents or guardians permission for this and I also need you to sign some papers."
"That'll be us, do whatever you have to." Sam allowed.
"Is it just the accident she doesn't remember or more." Collin asked a little hesitantly.
"She knows her name, birthday and who the president is and she also recognized nurse Teresa, so as far as I know, it's only the accident she doesn't remember. It may come back to her and it may not." He explained.
Collin nodded looking relieved.
"I'll get those papers for you." The Doc said, then left.
"So she's gonna be alright?" Brady asked.
"Yeah Bray, she should be okay." Collin nodded, slapping his hand on Brady's shoulder, keeping it there. That was the way the twins and Jessie always comforted each other in a bad situation. Being in the same room as each other helped, but physical contact made them feel better. A hand on the shoulder did the trick as Brady relaxed.
I realized it was the same way for me and Leah when she put her arm around my shoulders. I didn't even know she was here, but looking around I noticed everyone in the pack was, besides Jacob.
"She'll be okay little brother." She said quietly. Again, I just nodded.
Jared and Paul came in then. Both furious, but in control enough not to phase.
"Where is she? How is she?" Jared asked. Paul's eyes scanned the room and settled on Brady and Collin.
I've been around the Cameron siblings enough to know how they worked. Like the physical contact making them feel comforted. Or how when one of the younger siblings were hurt or in trouble, the older siblings had to make sure the other two were okay also. Paul and Jared knew Brady and Collin were fine, but seeing them made them less tense, and helped them keep all their worry on Jessie.
"She has a concussion, but she's awake and the doctors are giving her a cat scan to make sure she has no internal bleeding or swelling." Sam told them.
They both sighed and sat down beside the twins.
"That bitch is dead. The next time she comes around, I swear to god I'll get her." Paul growled out.
"We will, but right now we just have to worry about Jessie." Sam said firmly.
River and Kim arrived then. River went straight to Brady and started crying in his chest. River wasn't one to cry, she kept up a front so no one would mess with her or think she was weak. She only cried once when she had the miscarriage, then she pretended she was okay. Only Me, the twins and Jessie knew how she really felt. River was everything Jessie needed, they were the same yet polar opposites. Neither wanted to show people how weak they could be, but Jessie sometimes did, so River was there to pick up the pieces when needed. River was outspoken, Jessie was quiet-sometimes-. They both were extremely loyal to each other, I don't think either could ask for a better best friend.
Jared held Kim, but occasionally glanced at Brady and River confused. He still didn't know about the imprint, I guess Brady, me and Collin are good at keeping our thoughts to ourselves. I honestly don't think he would care, he loved River sure, but he wasn't in love with her any more. He wanted her happy and he wanted his little brother happy, I don't see why he would freak if they were happy together.
Paul was looking at them also, but with a certain understanding in his eyes. He knew, there was no doubt about it. Paul worried about Brady more then he did Collin. Collin was bull headed just like Paul, but Brady didn't like most confrontations, with River he could argue with her just fine and if he had to, he could hold his own in a fight, but he didn't like it and tried to avoid it. Just like Jessie, Brady depended on his brothers a lot. For some reason, not having his dad or mom affected him way more then Collin, he clung to Paul and Jared when he was younger a lot and he didn't make friends easily. He just had me and Embry. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't depressed like Jessie, he's a happy kid, but he hates being alone, I think one of his greatest fears is losing his family and being left by himself.
We sat there for another hour before the last person of the pack arrived, with Bella in tow.
"What the hell is she doing here?" I growled standing up, but Leah's arm restrained me from moving closer to them.
The pack looked shocked that I said that, but Collin and Brady seemed to know what I was thinking.
I was the nice kid. The happy one who liked everyone and even if I didn't, I still was nice to them. I couldn't help it, it was just the way I was and I was all for giving Bella Swan a chance, but not so much anymore.
"The red head is still out there, I wasn't going to leave her alone." Jacob said.
"So you bring her here! So the red head can follow her scent and find out what she did to Jessie and possible finish the job!" I practically yelled, not caring if I drew a crowd. Jacob growled back, but I wasn't done.
"This is her fault! Jessie wouldn't be hurt if it wasn't for her and her sick relationship with the leach!"
"Shut up Seth!" Jacob growled again. Bella looked shocked and hurt, but I couldn't find it in me to care anymore. I looked up to Jake, I always had, but this Jacob wasn't one I could look up to anymore. Bella was changing him and it sure as hell wasn't for the better.
"Seth that's enough!" Sam commanded. It was a freaking alpha command too.
"Jacob, it'll probably be wise if you just take her home." Sam said, glancing at the very angry Cameron brothers.
"Fine." He glared then led Bella out..
"Well, damn." Paul cracked up right before the doctor came in.
"The scan was done and we found no bleeding or swelling. She is okay, but we like to keep her over night just to make sure and to also monitor her concussion." He explained.
"Thank you doctor." Sam thanked him, shaking his hand.
"You're welcome." He smiled. "And she keeps asking for Seth so which ever one he is, you can go on in and see her."
I was ecstatic hearing that, but some of the anger was fading and so was my selfishness, so I looked over at the brothers to make sure they didn't want to see her first.
"Go on man, we'll see her later." Jared smiled while the others nodded.
"Thanks." I mumbled and followed the doctor to Jessie's room.
I walked into the room and seen her laying on the bed starring out one of the windows. I walked over and sat on the edge, taking her hand.
"Hey." She smiled.
"Hey yourself. You okay?"
"My head hurts a little, but yeah I'm fine."
"God, I was so worried about you." I said, my voice cracking as I leaned forward putting my head into her neck.
"I'm okay." She whispered, running her hand through my hair. "What happened Seth?"
"The red head ran out into the road and I swerved. I'm so sorry."
"It wasn't your fault." She said, more firmly.
I lifted my head and smiled at her. "You missed it, I blew up at Jacob and told him this was Bella's fault. You would've loved it."
"Seriously!" She laughed then sobered up. "That's not you Seth. You were angry and as much as I love that you did it, you probably didn't mean it and I wouldn't want you to ruin your relationship with Jacob over this."
I leaned back, shaking my head. "No, I did mean it. This is her fault and I don't want her anywhere near you. She's a fucking danger magnet, if it weren't for her then we wouldn't have this problem with the leach. I don't care about my relationship with Jake- well, I do- But he's blind right now and definitely not himself. How can I look up to the guy when he dangers his family, his pack, just because of a girl who is using him?"
"Wow, you being worked up like this is kind of hot." She joked, smiling, but it didn't reach her eyes.
"If this is how you really feel, then by all means embrace it, but if you're just upset about me getting hurt and you aren't thinking straight, then maybe you should apologize."
"Jessie, this is how I feel. Everyone feels this way, I wanted to give this whole Jake and Bella thing a shot for Jacob, but it's wrong and I see her for who she really is. A cold hearted manipulative bitch. I know you feel bad thinking I'm ruining my relationship with Jake because of you, but I'm not. This is all me and it's not your fault." I explained. Jake was my hero growing up and I looked up to him a lot, but right now I couldn't do it. Like I said, his relationship with Bella was changing him and I didn't like it.
"Okay then." She smiled. "I'm tired, but I want to see my brothers, can you get them before I fall asleep?"
"Of course." I smiled back, standing up.
"Wait!" She called, grabbing my hand.
"What?" I asked alarmed at first, but she just pulled me closer until she could reach my lips. She was taking control this time and I was letting her. She tilted her head deepening the kiss, slipping her tongue into my mouth. It wasn't a lustful kiss, this one was just full of emotion that she felt for me. It was exactly what I needed to relax me further and I think she knew that.
"That's was all I wanted boyfriend." She smiled, pulling back.
"You remember." I breathed out. I wasn't sure if she did remember me asking her to be my girlfriend and it was a total relief that she did.
"Of course I do, now get." She laughed.
I smiled at her again then went to go get the others. She was okay, I was okay and we were okay. I hope it'll stay that way.
Please review!
