CHAPTER 38

Alice led her back to the room she slept in where Carlisle was waiting for her.

"Good morning Anna," he said.

"Good morning," she replied.

"Its good to see that you're up out of bed," Carlisle said. "Come sit down."

"I'll go check on Emmet and Paul," Alice said and left the room. Anna slowly walked over and sat down on the bed.

"So how do you feel this morning?"

"Sore, but I'm ok." Anna answered as he started to feel the bump on her head.

"You haven't had any dizziness or been nauseous?" he asked.

"No."

"Headaches?"

"I hurt all over, the headache just kind of blends in with everything else." she told him.

"Let me check your back," he said and Anna laid on her side and Carlisle pulled her shirt up to check her bruises.

"You'll be sore for a while but you're up and moving around which is good, it will help," he told her as she slowly sat up. "I see no reason why you can't go home today," he told her and she smiled.

"Really?" she asked excited.

"Yes Anna, just be careful getting around."

"I will," she smiled.

"No heavy lifting or strenuous activity," he told her. "So that means none of your P90X," he smiled.

"How did you know I did that?"

"Edward kind of picked it out of your mind," he admitted.

"Oh," she said. "I told him to stay out of my head," she smiled.

"Just be really careful and you should stay home from school for a few days," he told her.

"Carlisle I…"

"Don't argue with me on this," he told her. "Edward or Bella or someone will bring your school work to you if your worried about getting behind," he added.

"Fine how long do I have to be out of school?"

"I'll give you an excuse for the whole week."

"A whole week!" she exclaimed

"Yes. And have Paul call me if you start feeling different, especially if you start feeling worse instead of better."

"I will," Anna said smiling. "Thank you."

"You're welcome Anna," he said kindly. "You just have Paul or someone call me if anything changes."

"I will," she said. "Can I go tell Paul?"

"Of course," Carlisle said and Anna smiled and slowly stood up and started walking out of the room and down the hallway to Paul.

It took longer than it usually would have taken but Anna finally made it to where Emmet and Paul were playing the same video game. Anna looked at him and smiled.

"Anna," Paul said and sat the controller down and turned around. "You're happy so it must have been good news."

"Carlisle said I could go home," she told him and he smiled. "But that if I started feeling worse or anything changed to get you to call him."

"Definitely," Paul said smiling and he leaned down and gently kissed her lips.

"He also said I have to miss school for a whole week and no P90X," she told him.

"You'll survive," Paul told her and kissed her lips. "I love you."

"I love you to," Anna said.

Not much later Paul and Anna were in his truck and he was driving her home.

"I called my dad and he's waiting for both of us," Anna told Paul. "I just don't know how I'm going to get up the stairs to my bedroom."

"I'll help you or carry you whichever you want," Paul told her.

"But you're not going to be there overnight or the next day. You have a job and responsibilities at La Push that I can't take you away from."

"Sam has relieved me from werewolf duties for the next week," Paul told her. "So I can take care of you, its what he would do for any of the other guys."

"But you also have a job Paul," she told him.

"I know and I can miss a few days from that to, Sam won't mind," Paul told her. "You don't worry about me, you just concentrate on getting better." he told her as he parked his truck outside her house.
"Now I'll help you inside," he said and got out of his truck and grabbed her bag then went around to her side and opened the door and helped her out. "You ready?" he asked.

"Yeah," Anna sighed. "Lets go," she added and he put an arm around her and helped her inside her house.

When they walked in Anna's dad was waiting for her.

"How are you?" he asked nervously.

"I'm a little sore still but Carlisle said I would be ok," Anna told him.

"Good," he said relieved. "Paul," he said. "Thank you for bringing her home and staying with her and taking care of her."

"There is no need to thank me, I love taking care of Anna, Mr. McAlister."

"Jackson," he corrected him.

"Of course Jackson," Paul said. "You want to go up to your room?" Paul asked .

"I'm not sure I'm ready to go up the stairs yet," Anna said looking up the stairs.

"Why don't you stay in the guest bedroom down here until you get ready to go upstairs," her dad suggested.

"I didn't think of that," Anna said softly.

"Just tell me where it is and I'll'' help you get there," Paul said.

"But all my stuff is in my room," Anna said.

"Anna your stuff can be brought down here, whatever you want from your room," her dad said.

"I'll do it myself," Paul told her. "You write down everything you want from your room and I'll bring it to you."

"Paul…"

"No complaints," he said and Anna nodded. "Lets get you to the guest bedroom," he added and Anna walked with him.

Paul got Anna settled on the bed and her dad brought her a piece of paper and a pencil and she started to write what she wanted from her room. When she was done Paul took the list and went to get everything. Anna was sitting up in the bed flipping through the TV channels when her dad walked in and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Hey," Anna said.

"I owe you an apology," he said. "I never should have tried to make you be with someone you didn't want." he told her.

"No you shouldn't have," she said.

"Paul seems like a good guy," her dad admitted. "I know he'll take care of you and that he loves you."

"Yes he'll take care of me and I love him to," she told him. "So does this mean you're going to try and get along with Paul and like him."

"Yes," he said. "We're getting along better already."

"Good," Anna said smiling. "I'm glad you're getting along better." she added as Paul walked in with two bags of stuff.

"I think this is everything on the list," he said as he sat the bags down.

"I'll let you two get everything put away." her dad said.

"Thanks dad," Anna said as he walked away.

Paul started pulling the books and clothes Anna asked for out of the bag and putting them where she wanted them. After he got everything fixed he walked over and sat on the bed with Anna.

"So I hope your dad is going to let me stay overnight because I'm not going anywhere," he told her. "I'll sleep on the couch if I have to."

"I don't see why he wouldn't if you two are trying to get along," Anna told him as her cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw the screen had Jake on it. "Its Jake," she said smiling and answered it. "Hey Jake."

"Hey Anna Banana how are you feeling?"

"Better," she told him. "Carlisle let me go home."

"Good you're at home," Jacob said. "So you feel good enough for visitors?"

"Of course," she said happily.

"Great, I'll be there with Aimee soon," he said.

"Great!"

"And Embry and Quill might be dropping by as well," Jacob said. "And Sam's on his way to talk to Paul and he's bringing Emily with him."

"Great the whole pack is dropping by," Anna said. "I better warn my dad," she told him.

"See you later," Jacob said.

"Ok Jake," she said and hung her phone. "So it looks like the whole pack will be here soon we better warn my dad." she told Paul.

"Ok," Paul said as his phone rang.

"That's probably Sam, Jake said he's coming to talk to you." Anna told him as Paul picked up his phone.

"Hello," Paul answered. It was Sam. "Yeah Sam we're at Anna's house."

"I'll be by soon," Sam told him. "I was just going to get you to come here but Emily wants to see Anna so we're both dropping by."

"Of course," Paul said. "Its not like we're going anywhere."

"Alright then I'll see you in about an hour," Sam told him.

"Ok," Paul sighed and hung up the phone. "I should go tell your dad to expect visitors." he told her and stood up and walked out of the room.

Paul found Anna's dad in the kitchen making a sandwich. He looked up when Paul walked in.

"Is something wrong?"

"No," Paul said. "Some friends are going to be dropping by soon to see Anna," he told him. "Her friend Aimee and Aimee's boyfriend Jake, Sam, my boss and his wife Emily and two other friends, Embry and Quill."

"Alright," her dad said. "Visitors will be good for her, right?"

"Yeah," Paul said. "Of course they will."

"So do you and Anna want lunch?" he asked.

"I'll go ask her," Paul told him. And turned and walked away.

When he walked back in her room Anna was reading a book.

"So what did he say?"

"He said ok," Paul told her. "Now do you want lunch?"

"Sure I can eat something," she said. "Surprise me," she told him.

"Ok I'll be back with lunch soon," he told her.

"Paul remember I don't eat as much as you do," she smiled.

"I know," he said quietly and walked out of the room.

While Paul was fixing lunch for him and Anna, her dad went to talk to her.

"Dad hi," she smiled as he walked in and over to her bed and sat down.

"So Paul told me you're having visitors soon," he said.

"Yeah," she smiled. "They're all great dad, don't worry," she assured him.

"Of course they are," he sighed.

"Is something wrong?" Anna asked.

"No, everything's great," he sighed.

"Dad I want you to let Paul stay here with me while I have to be out of school this next week and tonight."

"Anna…"

"He'll sleep on the couch dad," she told him. "You don't have to worry about anything happening. Paul's never done anything I didn't want him to or took advantage of me if that's what you're
thinking," she told him.

"I wasn't thinking that," her dad said quietly.

"Then what's wrong?" Anna asked.

"Its nothing, don't worry about it," he said. "Paul can sleep on the couch," he told her.

"Thanks," Anna smiled as Paul came back with lunch.

"I'll let you eat lunch," her dad said and leaned over and kissed her on the forehead before getting up and leaving.

Paul walked over and handed her a plate that had a sandwich and chips on it and a can of coke,

"Thanks," Anna said as he sat down on the bed.

"Is everything ok with your dad?" Paul asked.

"I'm not sure, something's bothering him though." Anna sighed.
