I called Billy. He needed to know about Bella, then I told him about Sam.
"What does he need?" asked Billy.
"I don't want him alone,'' I said. "Basically I want him with Emily or one of the elders. I am not sure if Emily can take care of him if he tries something."
"I'm coming over. We need to send him to Sue's," said Billy. "She's a nurse, and he will listen to her."
I thought about Leah, and hoped she could understand that Sam needed this.
"Okay, can you call Sue and I'll tell the pack?" I asked.
"Sure," said Billy. "Sue and I will be over in a minute."
"Kay," I said, and hung up.
I went into the living room, all the guys were there.
"Any news?" asked Paul.
"Yeah, but first I need to talk to Leah," I said. Leah stood up from sitting on the hearth. "Leah, let's go on the porch."
Confused, she followed outside, and I led her out onto the porch.
When we were outside, I looked at her and smiled. "Leah, I'm gonna ask you to let me do something that is going to hurt you but it's gonna help Sam. Sam is not more important than you, but I'm at my wits end on how to take care of him."
She took a shaky breath. "What does he need?"
"I want him to live with your mom so she can take care of him when I'm not here. He's not taking care of himself Leah, and if he is left alone, he could hurt himself. Your moms a nurse, and she can take care of him."
Leah set her jaw. "You need to take care of Sammy," she said.
"Tell me the truth Leah. Do you want to be away from Sam?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to come live with me?"
"Can I do that?"
"I have a bed and a couch that is long enough for one of us. We can swap off, and it shouldn't be bad."
"Okay, let's do it."
We walked back into the room, "Okay here is the plan. Sam is going to stay at the Clearwater's for a while cause Sue is a nurse and will keep him on his meds and can call me if something is wrong."
"Why can't I take care of myself?" he asked.
"Because you attempted and didn't tell anyone," I said. "I don't trust you and I am worried about you."
"I'll watch him," cried Seth.
I grinned at Seth. "I know you will. Can you make him take his meds, and eat, and shower and stuff?"
"Yep."
"Good job. Because it's going to be awkward with an ex-girlfriend and fiance coming in and out of the house checking on Sam, Leah is going to come stay with me."
"Any way you can just keep her there?" joked Jacob. Half the pack laughed, in fact most of the pack lagged except for Seth and Sam.
"Fuck you Jacob," Leah said.
"Okay that is it five dollars," I said, and held out my hand.
Jacob stared at me for a minute and just didn't say anything. Quil busted out laughing, and Paul had a smirk on his face.
"I don't have my wallet on me," he said when he realized I was serious.
I pulled out my phone. "I'll text your dad to bring your wallet. Where is it?"
"Nightstand."
"Jacob needs his wallet," I sent Billy.
"Why?" he said.
"He said a comment about his sister and it pissed me off and now he owes me five dollars," I said.
"Just locked up," he said. "I'll pay you and he can pay me back."
I relayed this information to Jacob.
"You're seriously gonna make me pay you?" he cried.
"Yep."
Billy and Sue got here within five minutes of each other. Sue had not changed out of her scrubs and I could tell she had a long day too.
"Why is Leah staying with you?" she said quietly.
"It's hard sleeping with your ex under the same roof," I whispered. "And Ems gonna be coming in and out to check on him."
Sue nodded. "If it's okay with Leah, it's okay with me."
Leah got ready to go home and packed up.
"You're not going to tell her intimate details about our lives, will you?" asked Quil.
"Honey, she knows intimate details about your life. But no, I will not discuss Bella or the Cullens with her." Then, I thought for a minute, "Actually Le," I called. "Between Bella and Sam I'm gonna be pretty busy. You might have the whole house to yourself."
"Cool," she called back. "I'm basically gonna be catching up on school work. And you know, surveying the Cullens forest so when we ultimately attack and kill all of you, when Bella breaks the treaty."
"Oh ye of little faith, give me time. Bella's been on her meds for two weeks, and she stopped taking them because they made her happy to be alive and not want to be a vampire. If I can do that in two weeks imagine what I can do in six months if we could get her compliant."
They all stared at me. "You really think Bella will not want to be a vampire if we can get her on meds and stuff?" asked Jacob.
"Yeah," I said. "She figured it out and stopped taking them. Where were y'all at like 3 o'clock today?"
"So if she takes her meds right?" asked Quil.
"Then, we may have a new Bella on our hands," I said.
