P.S There will be a lot of Jacob POV while Callie is out of it.

P.P.S don't worry Abigail, I made sure that we didn't do our twilight presentation until you were back because I knew how desperate you were to do it. LOL!!!

19. The suicide pact.

Jacob POV

I had always had a fear of hospitals, ever since my mom died. I'd never experienced a hospital before then so in my childish head I thought of them as places you went in and didn't come out again. As they rushed Callie off to theatre and I was sent to the intensive care waiting room I couldn't help thinking Callie would never come out of those doors again. I sat down on one of the small seats in the room and waited desperately for the others to get here. I looked around the room to keep my mind off Callie. It was small with only half a dozen chairs arranged around a whitewashed wall. There was a small table full of magazines in the middle of the room and a single window on the opposite wall. I was desperate Sam to get here as I hated being on my own here.

"Jake! What's going on?" Sam and Jared came rushing into the room and sat on either side of me.

"They took her to theatre straight away and I haven't heard anything."

"Paul's brining Billy and Rachel. Leah is picking up Anna from the shop and Emily is picking up Jasper."

"Embry?" I growled.

"I don't know." He confessed.

"When you see him tell him he better keep running because as soon as she's better I'm coming for him." It wasn't a threat, it was a promise.

"Jacob, he's sorry."

"I thought you said you hadn't heard from him."

"Jake, I've been in his position and I know what it's like to do that to someone you care about." I nodded slowly and didn't shake off his hand that lay on my shoulder.

"What happened?!" Jasper appeared breathlessly in the doorway with Emily behind him. His face was etched with pain and worry for his precious daughter.

"There was an accident." I mumbled.

"A wolf attack." He repeated what he had been told and I nodded solemnly.

"You liar!" he yelled and pushed me against the wall.

"No." I started but he stopped me.

"You did it, you bastard! You changed into your freaky wolf around her didn't you!"

"Jake didn't. I did." Embry was stood in the doorway dripping in water and leaving a puddle on the floor.

"You bastard!" Both Jasper and I screamed at him. I wanted to punch his lights out but the arrival of a nurse stopped me. The women looked at us sympathetically as she came in. It was obvious that she was used to squabbling families.

"Are you here for Callie Whitlock?" she asked in a sweet, simpering voice.

"Yes, I'm her father."

"I have her stuff." She gave him a brown bag before leaving quickly and shutting the door behind her. I watched Jasper tentatively open the package to see what was inside. His face blanched white as he pulled out Callie's ruined top. It had been cut open so that they could get it off her although there wasn't much of it left. The top had been green and white strip but now you couldn't tell what colour it was. It was pure red and still damp with her blood. I felt sick at the sight of it, then a single drop of blood fell onto the floor.

I knew I was going to be sick. I raced out of the room and somehow made it to the toilet before I threw up. I stayed leaning over the basin for a long time. I didn't have the strength to get up so I just lay there holding onto the sides of the cubical to try and steady myself.

"Jacob." I felt Jared's hand on my shoulder as he helped me up. I nodded gratefully at him as he helped me over to the line of sinks. I washed my mouth out and began trying to clean the blood off my body. "Here, Billy bought you some clean clothes."

"Thanks." I took the black hoody and faded jeans off him and quickly changed. I felt better not to have the bloodied shorts on.

"My Dad's here?"

"Yeah, he just arrived."

"Jared, if Callie dies today will you kill me?" I asked him suddenly.

"What the fuck?! NO!" he shouted at me.

"Could you live without Kim?" He froze at the question and I knew I had him.

"No, I couldn't." He said at last.

"So if Callie dies will you?" He nodded slowly.

"And if she survives and something happens to Kim then you'll do the same for me?"

"Yes." I agreed.

"A suicide pact." He muttered as we shook on it.

"A suicide pact." I agreed. "Come on we should go." We walked back slowly to the room where even more people had congregated. Embry was stood quietly in the corner, Anna was comforting Jasper and many other wolves had also appeared in the small room.

"Jake, are you ok?" Dad wheeled himself towards me with his concerned eyes looking for any sign of me doing something stupid.

"Alright considering the circumstances."

"This is for you. They found it in Callie's pocket."He pulled out a blood stained letter from the side of the chair. I pulled it out of his grasp and tore into it. The blood hadn't soaked through so the letter was perfectly readable. Its content took my breath away.

Jacob,

If things go to plan you'll never have to read this letter but who am I kidding with us two nothing ever goes to plan. So this is my back up if I run out of courage to tell you to your face the truth. The truth is- I love you with all my heart and I can't take you not knowing it anymore. I want to be your girlfriend, I want to spend the rest of my life with you and –one day- I want to have you weird wolf kids. I've never felt like this before, your always on my mind and when I'm not with you I can't concentrate on anything, when you touch me I feel fireworks and I spend most of my time thinking about kissing you. Basically what I'm trying to say is I love you.

Callie.

It was just as I was getting over the shock of the letter when a doctor walked into the room with a grim expression.

"Can I talk to Mr. Whitlock please?"
