Carries P.O.V.

The next morning when I woke up I realized that I was nervous. It was the first day at a new school, and weather or not I had Collin with me it was still nerve-racking. I went to take a shower and it took me a while to figure out a good first day of school outfit. I decided on skinny leg black jeans, a hot pink tank and a black and white check scarf. I wore my long hair down and curly and applied my makeup. Just as I was finishing Collin woke up and could barely even respond to me talking to him until he showered. He was so not a morning person. I went into the kitchen and started making breakfast, an omelet for me and four omelets' for Collin. He joined me for breakfast and kept me laughing the entire time. He really helped me calm down and I couldn't help but notice how much of a perfect match he truly was for me. As soon as I got to the school I felt butterflies in my stomach. I wondered if people would think I was weird, or if the work would be hard. After all I was in mostly A.P. classes. I went into the office to get my schedule, with Collin trailing along behind me. It was a very small school, there were less then 100 kids in our grade. I compared my schedule to Collins and we had 3 out of our 8 classes together. But because of my A.P. class we only had lunch together every other day, and today we didn't. Sadly we didn't have first period together so he walked me to my class and then regretfully went to his own. He told me if I had any problems that he would be listening and I should just call his name. I got to class and embarrassingly enough the middle aged balding teacher introduced me to the entire class. You'd think that in A.P. math the kids would be nice, but these kids seemed to snicker when I was introduced. The class had a bunch of groups of desks together by threes, and he stuck me at one with another girl and a boy. From one glance I could tell that the boy and the girl were identical twins. As soon as I sat down the boy introduced himself.

"Hi there, I'm Ray and this is my sister Rachel!" Both Ray and Rachel had dark hair and pretty brown eyes with thick lashes. Rachel rolled her eyes at her brother's introduction.

"Please excuse my overly-outgoing gay twin. He inherited all the 'friendly' genes." I laughed and shot them both a smile.

"Well as you know I'm Carrie, and it looks like your stuck with me as your partner for the rest of the year." They both smiled in return. I spent the rest of the class chatting with them, and could tell we would be friends. Especially Rachel and me.

All class long we quietly chatted together and I had a great time. And my old high school was much harder, so this work came easily to me. As soon as class ended I got excited because I had period two with Collin. I compared classes with Rachel and Ray, and because they were in A.P. classes I had the majority of my schedule with both of them. I had the next period with Rachel as well as Collin so I knew I'd have fun. We said goodbye to Collin and Rachel and I started walking down the hallway. Collin was walking down the hallway opposite of us with a half smile on his face.

"God he is SO hot! But he never pays any attention to the girls. But like everyone in the school likes him." Rachel whispered to me while gesturing in Collin's direction. I knew he heard because his face lit up in a huge smile.

"You're right he is ridiculously hot. That's why I'm going out with him." Rachel's expression turned to a mix of awe and jealousy.

"Way to go girl!" She whispered just as Collin was about to reach us.

"Hey Carrie, hey Rachel." Rachel's face lit up when she heard him say her name. Her little crush was going to start getting on my nerves. Collin was mine after all. But Collin must have realized that I was getting frustrated with her crush because he pulled me in for a quick kiss. My heartbeat started to accelerate and the electric feeling came back, even though our lips only touched for a second.

"Don't worry, you're the only girl for me," Collin whispered so low that only I would hear. I smiled at his words and grabbed his hand.

"So are you guys ready for government?" Rachel rolled her eyes and Collin groaned. "So I'll take that as a no?" We all laughed as we started on our way to government.

Government class would have been a drag if I hadn't been seated next to Collin. He spent the entire class whispering funny comments into my ear. Rachel was across the room so I couldn't talk to her but I still made hand motions and mouthed words to her. By the end of class I had gotten yelled at twice for laughing, but I didn't care I was having too much fun. If I had known school would be this fun then I wouldn't have been nervous for it at all!

It was the end of third period, another class I had with Collin, before something bad happened. All throughout class this one boy had been giving me looks, and it made me uncomfortable. I'm sure to someone who wasn't as madly in love as I was they would have found him highly attractive, but I barely even noticed other guys looks. As soon as class ended I ran to the door to get to my next class (I had it with Collin) when the boy stepped in front of me.

"Well hello there," he said with his green eyes flashing. "You must be the new girl, Carrie. I'm Greg."

"Nice to meet you Greg, but I don't want to be late for my next class, so if you don't mind..."

"Oh what do you have next?" I was starting to feel more at ease around this boy, he really wasn't that scary.

"I have English, what about you?"

"Same here! Why don't you let me walk you to your next class?" The question made me uncomfortable again but I ignored it.

"Why not?" He smiled at my answer and he walked me to the next class. Just as we reached the door he reached out to take my hand but I casually pulled mine away from his, not wanting to hurt his feelings. This occurred while we were standing in the doorway and I saw Collin watching from his seat with a weary look on his face.

"Thanks for walking me Greg!"

"No problem Carrie, any time." I went to sit next to Collin but the teacher stopped me.

"Hi, you must be Carrie. I'm Mr. Harper, your English teacher. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too Mr. Harper." Mr. Harper had a little beer belly and was going bald at the top of his head but he seemed nice enough.

"Why don't you go sit next to Greg? You seem to already know him." I really wanted to sit next to Collin but didn't want to get into any more trouble.

"Oh, alright." I went and sat next to Greg. We were the row behind Collin, but my set was directly behind his. He seemed to pus his desk slightly back so that he was closer to me, and I had to hold in my giggle. As I sat down I put my feet on the back of his chair so that they were right under his butt. Throughout the class I would randomly lift my foot up and kick him lightly in the butt.

"Carrie, what the hell are you doing goofing off with that tool?" Greg whispered to me in the middle of class.

"Greg that 'tool' is my boyfriend. And I'm not goofing off with him, I'm having fun."

"Why would you go out with him when you could go out with me?" I couldn't believe he just asked me that! I saw Collin start to shake a little bit in front of me.

"Sure I'll go out with you Greg." A huge smile showed up on his face and Collin started shaking even harder. "In your dreams!" That wiped the smile off of Greg's face! Collin's shaking slowed won until it was barely there.

"And there you have it, they're both dead. Sucks for Romeo and Juliet eh?" The class laughed at Mr. Harper's lame joke. "Well I guess that's all for today so you can all leave 15 minutes early if you want..." As soon as he said it every student jumped up and left the room. I grabbed Collins hand and pulled him out of the class. We had 15 minutes before our next class so I went outside.

"Col, you okay? You started shaking a lot inside." Collin shot me a slight look.

"Of course I was shaking. He asked you out and you said sure!"

"But then I said in your dreams! It was a joke. Haha?" Collin didn't seem to find it very funny but he did wrap his arms around me and breathed into my hair.

"I swear Carrie, if you do something like that again I'm going to turn into a giant wolf right then and there!" I giggled at the thought of Mr. Harper's face as Collin turned into a huge wolf right in front of him.

"My knight in furry armor." Collin laughed with me, but before we could say anything else the bell rang, signaling five minutes to class. Collin grabbed my hand and we ran back into the building laughing the whole way. Collin was so sweet and understanding.

I hung out with Rachel and Ray for the rest of the day until last period when I had another class with Collin. I didn't have this class with either of them but I did have it with Greg. Of course today we were getting new groups and I'm in a group with Greg Collin and me. The look that Collin gave Greg was so terrifying I'm surprised Greg didn't just drop dead, or at least scream. Collin started shaking again so I put my hand on his shoulder to calm him down. The rest of the class was filled with Greg awkwardly trying to flirt with me, and me shooting him down, with the aid of Collins growling. By the time the day ended I was beyond ready to go.

As Collin walked me to the car I had no choice but to laugh at his face. He looked beyond pissed.

"Lighten up will you?" Collin looked at me and tried to smile, but it came out looking so stupid I had no choice but to laugh at him.

"Haha very funny laugh at the fuming boyfriend will ya?" Collin muttered under his breath, and that sent out another peal of laughter. When I saw he was still frowning I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a quick peck on the lips before stepping into the car.

"Collin, you know that you're the only one I'll ever love, right?"

Collin nodded and slowly a smiled spread onto his full lips.

"I know, it's just so hard. All these guys were checking you out all day and it was hard for me not to phase and kill each and every one of them!"

"Oh, and you didn't notice the girls ogling you," I asked as the car pulled into our driveway. "They were all over you! 'Oh Collin, you look so different! You wanna go out?'" I mimicked in a high pitched voice.

"Nobody asked me out," Collin protested, but then he looked at my face. "Okay fine, but at least I never said yes!" He was still upset about that? I shook my head as I got out of the car and headed into the living room.

"Collin look at us, we have to be the most jealous couple in the history of the world. We both know we love each other so let's just enjoy our time together." I looked down at my backpack and sighed, "doing our homework." They gave us more homework on the first day then my old school!

Collin came over so quickly I barely saw him move, and he wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned in to kiss me. I obliged to his wishes and enjoyed the familiar tingling feeling as his lips connected with mine, but I forced myself to pull away. We really did need to work on our homework.

We had just finished two subjects when I heard a loud wolf's howl. Collin jumped up and started running to the door. He then realized I was sitting there, confused, and he came back.

"I have to go, something's wrong. Don't worry I'll be back soon. Be careful. I love you." He spoke so quickly I could barely make out the words.

"Love you too," I yelled as he ran out of the house at superhuman speed. I sighed as I got back to my homework, before realizing I should probably do his too as he most likely won't be back before really late. As I was finishing Collin's homework the doorbell rang. I ran to open it and looked up in shock at what I saw. Aaron was standing there, with blood covering him and his arm hanging to the side at an awkward angle. I let out a piercing scream before Aarons eyes rolled backwards and he passed out. I let out another scream and then ran for the home phone. I picked it up but there was no dial tone.

"Shit!" I ran for my cell phone and quickly dialed 911 on that. As soon as the other line picked up I started incoherently babbling about Aaron.

"Please calm down miss. Please tell me your location and what occurred, an ambulance is on its way." I calmed down enough to tell her our address and what happened.

"Were you expecting him to come over?" The lady asked in her light calming voice.

"No, no I don't know why he came!"

"Are you home alone now miss?" A sinking feeling started in my stomache. Oh my god, if Aaron was bleeding like that he was probably attacked.

"Y-yes. Besides my brother I am alone." Just then I heard the sirens and sighed in relief. Help was here and Aaron and I would be safe. I brought the phone down with me as I leaned over Aaron's body checking for vitals.

"The ambulance is here, so I'm going to go now. Thank you." I hung up on the lady and turned to the EMT's that just came through my door. The pulled Aaron onto the stretcher and talked to each other loudly, but I couldn't make anything out I was in such shock. I went into the back of the speeding ambulance and as it pulled into the hospital I realized that I should call Jess. I dialed her number and she picked up on the second ring.

"Hey Carrie, what's up? Did Aaron get there with the good news yet?" I took a deep breath, sad to crush her good mood.

"Jessica, I'm at the hospital with Aaron. They think he's been attacked and he's unconscious now." Jessica started to cry and I told her the room number as she came on her way. I stood in the waiting room next to Aaron's room, and pulled my knees up to my chest rocking back and forth. I wished that Collin were there with me I really need some consolation. But I knew that the wolf pack comes first, besides he didn't even know about the attack. Still I couldn't help but wish he were there, with his arms wrapped around me. I ached to feel his familiar warmth and his comforting words. I was still involved in my own thoughts when Jessica came in. She was considerably larger then when I last saw her. She came over and gave me a huge hug, and I was slightly taken aback. I mean I liked Jessica, but we weren't really that close at all. She pulled back and looked at me and started to whisper.

"He was coming to tell you the good news. He was coming to tell you I'm going to have twins. I insisted that he go and tell you in person instead of just calling. It's all my fault." Her face contorted into a sorrowful expression and my heart broke for her.

"It's okay Jess, it's not your fault at all. No one is to blame for this horrible tragedy. Besides, the doctors think he'll be fine even though they won't let us see him." She nodded and sniffled a few times. Just then the doctor came in and introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Ackart. You must be Aaron's family." Dr. Ackart was about 30, and had a slight English accent. He had kind eyes though, and they made me both worried and hopeful. "You can go in and see him now, he's going to be fine." I let out a sigh of relief, and felt Jessica do the same thing. "He has two broken ribs, a badly broken arm and a dislocated shoulder. He is also badly cut up and has a slight concussion but he will be alright." I walked into Aaron's room with Jessica on my heels and heard her stiffen a gasp at his appearance. Most of the blood was cleaned off but it just made it easier to see all of the cuts. He had bandages and slings all over, and he looked so feeble.

"Hey Carrie, Jess." Aarons voice came out so weakly I almost cried.

"Hey Aaron," I said as I rushed over to his side "how are you doing?"

Aaron winced before responding. "I've been better Car. But I can't really remember what happened." He scrunched up his face, clearly trying to concentrate.

"It's okay Aaron it'll come back eventually." I knew he needed time to remember even though I desperately wanted to know what happened and who attacked him. I was surprised when I heard a knock on the door, and was even more surprised when I saw who was standing there...

A/N sorry about the wait! I've been soooo busy!. And it appears you all like Jasper the best! Now who's your favorite female vampire, Esme, Rosalie Alice, Or Bella?
