Okay, all I'm gonna leave a note at the end! But hey and thank you for reading!!
Disclaimer: Right now my imagination is run out so I really don't feel like thinking up some story one of my family member's stories. So yeah, I don't own anything Twilight related.
Chapter Twenty-eight – Collin is my Life
'Okay, yep, it's official. This is definitely the worst week of my life,' I thought as I glided into the kitchen, grabbing a cup of coffee and pouring myself a bowl of cereal. Why? Well, my mother was home, after a freaking three month trip to Africa. Yeah, she decided to just flipping head off to Africa for a few months to get it 'away from it all'. Humph. Well, she hasn't been right in the head since I told her I was a wolf, so don't be too appalled. She was just sitting there, staring at me expectantly as I started to spoon some food into my mouth. I frown as she clutched her cup tighter.
"Mo-o-m! What is it? Embry doesn't get up till noon, and Collin has patrols in the morning. The morning is supposed to be Angie Time. And it is your house, so I won't complain about you being here or anything. But seriously, stop looking at me like I'm the freaking grim reaper." And with that I stuffed my food into my mouth. She stared at me, her face blank for a moment, and then shot up, her drink sloshing over the edge of the cup and drenching the table in coffee.
"Angie! This. Is. Enough. You have turned into such a brat lately! Stop acting like a jerk because if you don't, I will not let you see Collin anymore!" She fumed. My mouth dropped open in shock because 1) I didn't know she could yell at me like that and 2) How freaking dare she threaten not to let me see Collin! Collin, who was the whole reason for existing! I shot up from the table, the chair clattering to the floor and my whole frame shaking.
"NOT SEE COLLIN? We would find some way! We can't live without each other!" I screamed and mom's eyes narrowed. "Besides, I have a hundred times more strength than you! You can't keep me from doing anything! And Collin has his own place now; if you kicked me out he would let me stay there!" I fumed. Her fingers curled.
"Well, Embry is certainly stronger then you." She said quietly, with a threatening edge to her voice. I sucked in dryly. Oh my God. Embry hated Collin now… Oh my God. My mom's eyes glowed with the knowledge that she had won. My body was still trembling with anger and I hoped to God that I wouldn't explode or anything. Just the mere thought of not being able to see- Ugh! My body started to shake so much everything became a blur and I saw mom back away from me in fear.
"A-Angie, are you okay?" She stuttered, but I couldn't reply. Spasms of pain were already shooting down my sides and spine. Just then, Embry entered the kitchen.
"ANGIE!" He yelled, rushing over to me. He put calming hands on my shoulders as Mom called out and told her to be careful. He rubbed my back until I calmed down. Finally, gasping, I opened my eyes again, my hands being the only things that were shaking. Embry looked between us, clearly confused.
"Embry, I am grounding Angie from seeing Collin. Can you help me out and enforce this rule, please?" She asked calmly. Understanding dawned on his face. It looked like he was struggling with something.
"Mom… You know I can't do that." Both of us were shocked.
"What? Why?" Mom demanded. Her face still showed shock. Embry sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
"Trust me, mom. I want to throttle Collin, but I can't. I have an imprint, too and I know that you can't- It's impossible- See, I can't even say it!" He threw his hands up in the air. I gasped. Peter Pan's orange cockatoo! My eyes started to tear up and my throat swelled.
"Oh Embry! Are you saying that you're finally okay with me and Collin?" I whispered and he frowned. "Well, I guess you could say that…" He trailed off as I threw my arms around him. "OH THANK YOU! THANK YOU, THANK YOU! This means so much, Embry! I take back every horrible thing I've said about you behind your back! You are the BEST brother ever!" I squealed, which for some reason made his frown deepen.
"Okay, let's talk about this whole 'every horrible thing I've said about you behind your back thing'?" He asked me. Shit. I ignored him and turned to Mom. "So there." I said.
"We're still going out today. And I'm sorry, it's just that I got a lot of pressure on my shoulders and I am sick of your snarky attitude."
"Oh and Mom, I don't think this is the best time, but oh well. Here goes, I bought a place and am moving out today!" He held up his hands to shield his face and stared at Mom as though expecting a tornado. Oh. My. Freaking. God. Mom's mouth fell open and she looked furious for about two seconds. She spun on her heel and raced up the stairs. Wow, I'm gonna have a fun day.
Forty minutes later, I was sitting in my mom's car as she drove to some store in Port Whatever. The silence was uncomfortable and I had no idea why in the freaking hell I would ever do this. Guess I owed my mother something, even after this morning's tiff. I looked out the window and saw the green, now turning kind of colorful, scenery and sighed. It was so beautiful and yet so boring. I had lived here all my life, after all. Mom also sighed, but it was very exasperated.
"Angie, listen babe. I'm really sorry. It's just… When you first became a wolf I was so… so horribly surprised. And I can't believe I did, but I saw you in a different way. You weren't just my little girl anymore. You were something different, stronger, and more than human. I didn't know how to act around you and Em anymore because you weren't the same. But I was wrong. And I just wanted to say that I am so, so sorry." She was whispering at the end and a part of me softened.
"Mom, please don't get too mushy on me cause that's seriously gonna be a bummer, but thanks. Thanks a lot." I smiled warmly at her for the first time in a long time. Then, I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I turned slightly and squeezed her arm. I guess I was too rough or something or maybe my mom had withered a bit. I don't know.
She cried out in pain and let go of the wheel to console her trembling arm. I snapped way from her and stared at my hands, horrified with myself. I turned my head and then everything seemed to go in slow motion. The car was already sliding into the ditch. It slammed into a tree and since I hadn't been wearing a seatbelt, I flew forward and out the window. I smacked into a tree and it shuddered, creaking and cracking before falling… right onto me.
Collin POV
I hadn't seen Angie all day, and she wasn't going to be back for a while, or at least that's what she'd texted me. I drummed my fingers on the armrest of my couch. Quil was out seeing Claire, of course, and then Jesse was visiting *Paul* and *Rachel*…. Which really meant Marie who he'd recently nicknamed Mar. So it was pretty quiet here for once. I should bring Angie over pretty soon and show her around. Embry might be pissed but that was the best part of it.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pang in my chest and doubled over in pain. Gasping, I clutched the table and it almost broke. What was happe- Just as quickly as the pain had come, Angie's face flashed across my mind, again and again and again. Angie… Angie was hurt. The idea had spasms running down my body and phasing pain running down my spine as my bones prepared to rewire themselves. I managed to stand myself up and run out the door. I followed that pain in my chest and sprinted through the forest. I had to save her… I... Had... To… Save… Her… My legs started to pump faster as the pain grew.
Her scent started to fill my nose, but something was wrong, there was too much of it. It was like every drop of her smell was pouring out of her. I tore through the trees to see a huge tree, knocked over from something. A vast pool of blood was pooling around the tree and my body lurched. It was Angie's blood. I swiftly knocked the tree out of the way to see her mangled ripped body. My face paled. We had to call Carlisle to make her better… Something may have already healed wrong. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I scooped her up. She was unconscious, her mouth agape. Sobs shook me as I sprinted, trying my very hardest not to jostle her, to Sam's house.
I practically broke the door down when I rushed inside. "Guys, guys… It's Angie, Angie…" I screamed and moaned at the same time. Emily and Sam rushed in, terror suddenly filling their eyes. Sam seemed to stiffen.
"Emily! Call the Cullen's, hurry!" Emily rushed off and Sam took Angie into the living room. I followed hurriedly collapsed unto the ground next to the couch as Sam placed her there.
"Collin, call Embry." Sam ordered. But I couldn't. It felt like every second she wasn't awake a part of me died. How… why? She was the sweetest, most beautiful woman in the world. She wasn't a little girl anymore, as I had once called her. She wasn't just a girl alone either. She was a woman, a woman that I had loved. And she… she might die. At that thought I went dead. Tears no longer piled down my face, I just went limp. I didn't know if she was going to be okay. What if… what if she never woke up again?
Angie POV
I watched, and then felt the tree fall onto me. It was like Lillian throwing me against that tree, only a million times worse. I could smell and see my blood, rushing out like the Niagara Falls. The only thing I could feel was pain. Pains that I had never felt before. I didn't understand how anyone could look forward to going to heaven, because it involved dying and if this was dying, people would be pretty disappointed. I remember someone saying that when you die, you feel really good and your life flashes before your eyes.
Well, it wasn't pleasant, that was for sure. And the only thing flashing before my eyes was Collin. Then again… Collin is my life. So maybe they are right about that. Collin was the last thing I thought of before I completely lost consciousness.
Embry POV
As my phone rang a slip of annoyance ran through me. At the moment I was making out with Cassie and things were just beginning to get good… I glanced at the caller ID and groaned. I flipped it open. "Sam, I am not taking another patrol so you can spend the day straddling Emily." I snapped.
"Embry, it is Emily. And he does not straddle me!" She retorted quickly, as if in a rush. Oops. I sighed into the receiver, but before I could begin an apology, Emily had started to talk again.
"Embry, there's an emergency. Something happened to Angie, Collin's gone catatonic and won't say anything, and we just don't know! Get down here as soon as you can!" Click. Dead silence. Worry fills me like a balloon filling with air from a tire pump. Something happened to Angie… Rings in my ear like a death sentence. Cassie shook me.
"Embry, what's wrong?" Cassie asked me worriedly. I blinked before looking down at her.
"Something's happened to Angie."
