Chapter 25

Welcome To Forks

I was sick and tired of them goofing off and making stupid fart noises. Why can't we just leave already? I'd thought I said that to myself, but I guess it slipped out. My brother was the only one to hear me. Well, the only one to respond. We've been sitting here, in the cold, in the City of Forks, with nothing but jeans and a fair jacket, for half the day, talking. So him looking at me with his head tilted to the side like he had no clue, was foolish of him.

"Already starting fits are we?"

"Look can we just go home? What's the point of this!"

"You better watch your tone!", he warned, but then he stopped himself with a sigh, "Look, if you're not enjoying yourself, then why don't you leave?"

"Hahahahahahaha..." Ashley was throwing a fit of giggles, "Rich...Richard! St...haha...stop it!" They were wrestling on the ground by now.

"You know what, I will leave."

Justin snickered, "Well then..."

He walked back over to Martha and patted her shoulder. She looked up to him and he bent down to whisper something in her ear. She nodded. I tried to read their faces, but they showed no sign of emotion. Justin told everyone to stay put and not to split up. Luke whined about how I was leaving.

"Give him some space." I swear I saw Justin whisper that to him, but I heard it loud and clear. Luke let out a breath, his lips shaped like a circle with his cheeks puffed, and caused his hair to blow upward, out of his face. Then he sat back down on the wet grass. I felt bad for him...oh well.

I began to walk back into the city. I had no idea where I was going, let alone why Justin allowed me to just leave like that. Ashley's giggles began to fade away as I walked more and more down the sidewalk. Things looked gloomy, polluted by all the white fog in the air. As I walked more into the city, it got colder, so I put on my hood that had blown off blocks back. There was barely anyone outside. Only the few cars that passed by every now and then. I crossed the street slowly, making sure not to slip on the icy pavement. That's when I got startled.

A huge horn blew right into my ear. Instead of getting out of the way like a normal person, running for safety, I just stood there. Covering my ears. That stupid car was so loud, and it's not my fault they weren't driving under the speed-limit. I went back to reality, realizing that I was no different from the next guy. That I could get hit, just like the next guy. That I could die. Right here; right now.

There was a sudden rip in time. I could see the objects pass by as if they were in a flip book, but in slow motion. Then things got black and I was blind.

. . .

"Oh my god!...breath...breath!...no..." I began to open my eyes. Things were blurry and I felt as if my sound waves were blocked by cotton balls. My ears popped and things were somewhat clear again.

"Derek!" The voice was now filled with hope.

It was a lady. A teenager at most. This person sounded familiar and I could have figured out who this person was, then I felt it. The pain. So much pain. I couldn't take it anymore and I was hoping that this person, who somehow knows my name, could help me. I didn't even care who it was right now, just make it stop!

I've been beaten, hurt and injured in so many different ways, but this was the worst. I swear my right side was about to shatter.

"Oh thank you! Are you okay Derek? Can you hear me?" I blinked a few times then saw her face. Sometimes, I really feel like she's only there when I'm in pain.

"Um...help."

"Do you want me to take you to the doctor?"

"Help." I repeated. I didn't care what she did, just make the pain go away.

"I...I don't know what to do!" She began to sob, "There's so much blood. I'm so sorry Derek. I don't think...I can't take it."

"Please," I breathed heavily, "don't leave."

"I'm right here." She began to soothe me by stroking my hair. It didn't help at all. I then felt myself being lifted off the ground. "I'm gonna take care of you."

"No...no doc" I couldn't get the word out.

"I'm not taking you to the doctor." I began to calm down and tried to relax in her arms. I closed my eyes, trying to imagine the happiest moment in my life. Trying to cheer myself up. Telling myself that the pain would go away.

Things got quiet and the noise began to fade. Right now, I feel like...like I just need to sleep.

. . .

"Derek? Are you awake?" I opened my eyes and looked at her. Why? Why, doesn't she come when I'm not hurt or in a good mood?

"Yeah," I got out, "What happened?"

"You got hit by a car, don't you remember?"

"Yes, just making sure."

"Oh my god Derek! What is wrong with you? Standing in the middle of the street covering your ears when a car is right there!" She continued scolding, "You could have been seriously injured...killed! I thought people, humans in particular, had a natural instinct to survive. Are you trying to kill yourself? Derek listen to me! Are you crazy? How was I supposed to explain that to anyone, huh?"

Her words became slurred in my head until I finally processed it all. "Well...I feel better."

"Luckily." She began to calm down and let out a breath. "You really are something you know that?" Wow, bipolar much?

"What did you do?"

"Nothing, actually."

"Nothing? But, I feel better. I felt like I was going to die just...how long was I out?"

"20 minutes."

"No way, that's a world record! I couldn't have healed that fast." I sat up excitedly and got to my feet, making sure this was real. "Are you sure I'm alive?"

She smiled at my enthusiasm. "It's a miracle." She said sarcastically.

"Renesmee, I'm alive right...right?"

"Yes, you're alive Derek."

"Hmm," I mumbled, "How can you prove that?"

"Well, I was alive when I found you and I'm here; there are people downstairs, but you probably can't hear them."

"I can, sort of. Wait, where are we?" I looked around and did a 360 spin. She giggled at me.

"A hotel."

"A hotel?"

"Hotel; motel, it's the same thing." I nodded and looked around some more. Then I looked at her, about to break the short silence, but I stopped myself when I saw how short she was compared to me. I don't know why, but this made me feel slightly more...maculated.

"Anyways, I was looking for you."

"Really?" I was shocked, "Um, why?"

"Uh...", She looked as if she were going to tell a big white lie, then she stopped herself, smiled at me and continued, "I just...wanted to see you."

I stared at her, trying to read body language. She looked worried. "Are you alright?"

"I'm perfectly fine." She said with a little more confidence.

"Did something happen?"

"No...not of my awareness. Look, Derek, I...I miss you, so much." This warmed my heart, then I put on a tough face, but still tried to show her I was happy by slightly biting my lip.

"I missed you too." She walked up to me and we embraced. I looked down and breathed in her hair, "Tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing," she let me go, "I am perfectly fine, honestly."

My eye-brows furrowed, "Alright."

She cleared her throat, "I just want us to see each other more often."

I scoffed sarcastically, "The only way that'd happen is if we ran away." She was silent. Was she suggesting that?

"No, I meant we could just...sneak out every now and then."

"Renesmee, that'd get you in trouble. I don't want to be a bad influence."

"You influence me? Ha! Good one."

"I would argue, but there's no point of it. We both know the truth."

"Exactly." I glared at her.

"Besides Derek,", she went back to the main subject, "I just snuck out 30 minutes ago. What else is there to lose?"

"You snuck out?" I was slightly surprised, but, yet amused, "You bad girl."

"Shut up."

"Look Renesmee, we already made a hole. You sure you wanna keep digging."

"Who knows, we might just strike some gold."

"Or lava."

"Look are you in or out." She looked at me with eyes that looked like she'd kill herself if I said no...or worse.

I sighed, "Guess I don't really have a choice."

"We're going to have fun with this. I promise."

End of Chapter. Thanks for reviewing, subscribing, etc.. The second reason I'm not writing as much is because, well...it might be entertaining for you to read, but I'm bored! And well the whole story can't be exciting. Don't worry though, we'll get there sooner or later. Most likely later...
