Here is Chapter three! Thank you to all who reviewed and read the first two chapters!

Disclaimer: I only own Anna.

Anna woke up to the smell of food once again. The morning sun had crept through her window and started to brighten up her room. Groaning she flipped the covers back to begin the painful process of getting up. She hissed slightly she pulled herself into a sitting position. Her body felt more stiff than began to wonder if this was how a corpse felt once rigor mortis had set in. The stiffness only seemed to make the pain in her knee worse. The Doctors hadn't been lying when they said the healing process would be painful.

Once she was sitting up she let out a heavy sigh. 'Alright, the hard part's over' she tried to convince herself. She gently cradled her knee as she moved so her legs could rest over the edge of the bed. As her knee began to bend she cringed in pain. Her muscles and bones were screaming at her as they began to wake up from the state of rest.

Anna could smell breakfast being cooked in the kitchen down the hall. With another heavy sigh she began the slow process of dressing herself. Thankfully she had placed her cloths on the chair by her bed the night before. Carefully, her hands pulled her pajamas from her bruised and battered body. A fresh pair of panties and her bra were the first ones on, and then her shirt. She had saved her jeans for last.

Anna stared at her jeans for a good five minutes thinking of them as the enemy now. They almost seemed to taunt her as they lay there folded. Anna knew she couldn't just sit there half dressed all day. So, she grabbed them and slowly eased the foot of her injured leg in first and then its partner. Inch by agonizing inch she pulled the jeans up further and further. Finally when the reached her waist she sighed and groaned in pain. The zipper went up and the button was closed. Now she laid there on the bed trying to recover when a knock came at her door.

"Anna?" Came a voice from behind her door.

Her eyes opened at the sound, it most definitely wasn't her cousin's voice. Sitting up on her elbows her eyes locked on the door as it slowly opened. Much to her surprise she watched as Jacob walked into the room. "Oh hi um you are awake. Sam asked me to come and see if you needed any help."

"Oh okay," she said softly as she tried to sit up. The moment she hissed in pain Jacob was in front of her. His hands wrapping around hers as he helped to pull her into a sitting position. This had caused Anna to look directly into his dark eyes. She felt that feeling again, a tug in her chest as though something was trying to pull at her heart. Butterflies fluttered wildly in her stomach as a knot formed in her throat.

"Thank you." She spoke softly as she slowly slid her hands from his. They were so warm she almost didn't want to let go.

"Do you need help?" Jacob noticed her shoes and socks sitting together on the floor by the bed. Taking the initiative he knelt to his knees and grabbed the socks. Gently he took her feet one by one and slid her socks on. She still had some color on her delicate looking toes. He then focused on putting her converse on her feet. Making sure they were laced properly so she wouldn't trip.

"Where's your brace?" He asked gently but soon found it sitting on the chair. Standing he grabbed it before he slowly slip his hand beneath her knee. He cradled the delicate joint before looking at her softly "Breath okay?"

She nodded but wondered why Jacob was helping her. Just the other day he had ran from her just moments after he had met her. Her thoughts were distracted as she felt a searing pain in her knee as he raised it up. "Ow," hearing her voice her pain Jacob stopped and looked up at her.

"I'm sorry," he murmured as he placed the heel of her foot on his thigh. Carefully he placed the brace beneath her leg. Strap by strap he tightened them so the brace was held fast against her leg. "Is that okay?" He saw her nod before he offered her his hands again. She took them and felt his hands pull her up with ease. Anna blushed feeling his warm hands again. 'How could someone be so warm?' She thought as their eyes met once more.

"Do you want me to help you out into the kitchen?"

"Please," she gasped softly as he wrapped one arm beneath her legs and one behind her back. He picked her up as if she weighed nothing. Her arms went around his neck the moment she was in the air.

"Its okay, I've got you." He spoke softly as he caught her gaze. Those eyes were beautiful, gray with specks of green. "Just hold on." He turned and carried her out of the room and down the hall to the kitchen.

'He's being so nice.' She held onto him but not too tight. Anna couldn't help but smile at how nice Jacob was bein. They arrived into the kitchen causing stares but smiles.

"Good morning Anna." Emily said softly with a smile of her own. "Hows your knee?"

"Still hurts."

"Im sure it will. Have you taken your pain pill yet today?"

"No, I can't take it on an empty stomach. It will make me sick." Emily nodded before handing her a plate of food. Anna ate her food with a smile on her face. It reminded her of when her mother would cook.

"So Red you feel like getting out of the house today?" Paul asked with a curious smile on his face.

"Considering I have barely been able to do anything since my accident. Yes!"

A collective chuckle rang through the kitchen. "Well you see we were thinking of heading to the beach today. Its a nice enough day to go hang out. Wanna go?"

"Of course. I haven't been to the beach in years."

"Hey why not make a picnic out of it?" Seth looked up at them all like an excited puppy dog. "Em can make lunch!"

"A picnic does sound good. I don't remember the last time we did one."

"Hey why not a bon fire?! Mmmm s'mores." Embry moaned in delight at the thought of the gooey delight. His head falling back as he sunk down in his chair with a silly smile plastered on his face.

"You had to mention s'mores didn't you?" Paul glared at Embry before giving his head a playful shove.

"It sounds like a lot of fun." Jake said as he noticed the smile on Anna's face. It seemed to make her whole face brighten up like the sun. 'Wow...' he thought as his own smile came to his face.

"So its settled then?" Jared looked at the table as all nodded in agreement.

"Yeah why not. We could use a good day off from life." Sam smiled which only added to the group's happiness. If Sam said it was okay, then they knew it was all good.

"Lets get this party started!"
