Chapter 5

I was sitting in the ER room after checking into the hospital. Oh this was going to be fun I mentally rolled my eyes. I had two Dracula body guards, for what reason I have no clue. Then daddy vampy doc came in to tell me what I already knew. I need a tetanus shot and stiches in the gash on my arm. I just need a cleaning and band aid for the smaller scratches.

I was sitting on the edge of the bed mentally making fun of the sparkly penny head just to annoy him. I was kicking my feet back and forth and could see penny head twitch. I was annoying him. It was hilarious. Then I decided to start singing in my head. "Wooah your sex is on fiiire" that got him because he stormed out of the room and I started to laugh. Hey I never asked or told them to stay here while I got stitched by sparkles.

Blondie happened to actually frighten me slightly but not because of how he looked but because of his aura. But honestly I didn't care right now what was going on or if I offended anyone because my world felt like it was in a cyclone and was falling apart in front of me.

"You are unstable" blondie said. He had his arms crossed and was leaning against the wall.

"What is that your emo mojo working its shit?" I snorted.

"No I actually have a masters in psychology and you have all the classic symptoms. Not to mention your emotions are all over the place." He calmly told me.

"Take my advice, just let me be. You know nothing about me to make that assumption. You don't know of the shit I went through growing up. You don't know the pain. You don't have the scars. So don't come at me with your psychobabble. I have seen a therapist to get over this crap and while it will take me a little while longer I have overcome a lot." I told him seriously.

He just looked at me and nodded once. After that we were silent. It was kind of boring actually.

Finally after what seemed to take FOREVER sparkles the doctor came in with copper following, I am guessing he went and told on me to his daddy.

"No I just know the wolves will show up soon the longer we wait to do these stitches." He sound exasperated.

"Wait who called the wolves? And why are you even calling them that? That is my family and my mate. You don't see me calling you names." I huffed like a child and crossed my arms till my left arm had a twinge of pain. Then I uncrossed them.

"You have been calling us different names the entire time you have been here." He got loud

"Hey don't get loud at me fucker. I have not said one word OUT LOUD about you. Maybe if you learned to stay out of my head LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE, or things in your case, you wouldn't hear something you don't like." Who did he think he is talking to me like that?

All the while I guess sparkles had been getting things ready because I jumped as his cold fingers touched my arm.

"Sorry but I had to get our attention because I am going to have to give you a couple of shots to numb the area. Then I am going to have to put about 10 stitches and wrap the area up. Once I am done you are going to have to keep the area clean and dry and covered. But you will need to change the bandage and let it breathe some. So my suggestion is to let it breathe for about a half hour after you take the bandage off the lightly cleanse the area using a q-tip and some anti-bacterial soap and warm water. Do not get the stitches wet and pat dry. No rubbing." He told me and I just nodded. I had had this talk before but it's not like he has been my doctor for years.

While he was poking me I started to think about the whole situation. I was NOT staying at Emily and Sam's. I don't know who the hell she thinks she is but they are NOT my parents and I refuse to let her treat me as if I am a child and know no better. No I am going to drive around and I am going to find a close enough hotel or bed and breakfast and Sarah and I will stay there.

We were comfortable with money now that we had no rent to pay, by no means were we rich but we had enough to sustain us until I got my first pay check from the clinic Sue runs and then we will have a nice little savings set aside in case of emergencies. I just had to thank god for good insurance because this would have cost me an arm and a leg.

It felt weird to get stitches. I could always feel the pulling sensation but it wasn't horrible.

Then Paul popped into my head.

Oh Paul what to do with you? I know! How about I stab him with a spork, lol. I kill myself sometimes. No but seriously I needed to figure out that situation before I went crazy. Sigh. I guess I am just going to have to go with the flow and hope he doesn't piss me off too much in the process.

"Alright we are done he-" But vampy never got to finish his sentence because Paul came bursting through the door all dramatic like, more like over dramatic to me, but he came busting in like the Kool-Aid man busts through walls and it made me jump a foot in the air.

"Dear Jesus Paul you scared the fuck outta me!" I yelled at him grabbing at my chest.

I noticed the doctor had frozen and penny head looked like he was concentrating. All the while it seemed like blondie had placed himself in front of me and was slightly hunched over looking slightly murderous. That was strange.

"Back the hell away from my mate you leech." Paul growled through his teeth.

Blondie wasn't moving and I lightly tapped his back. His head twitched slightly so I knew I had his attention. Or at least part of it.

"Hey Jasper it's cool. This is Paul, my mate, he won't hurt me but if you don't move I can't guarantee that he won't hurt you." I told him.

One blink and he was across the room with penny head and doctor sparkles looking at him strangely.

Once blondie had moved Paul was on me like chocolate on cake. He kept sniffing me at random parts and whimpering at spots where my cuts were. He really let some kind of whine /growl combo when he saw and smelt my gash. He looked like a cross between hurt that I was hurt and pissed the hell off that I got hurt in the first place.

More than likely he was pissed off that I had run off and gotten lost and had gotten hurt in the same process.

"What were you thinking? Running off like that was dangerous and look where you ended up. In the arms of some leeches and being cared by them too. You would have never been hurt in the first place had you just stayed right outside like you had said you were" Oh yeah he was fuming.

But unfortunately for him, so was I.

"First off, Paul, I don't need your permission to do anything or go anywhere. Got it? Second Sarah and I are not going to be staying at Emily and Sam's. I don't know who the hell she thinks she is but she is not my mother and I refuse to let her speak to me or treat me like a child. Thirdly, you may be my mate but I refuse to let you treat me as if I am one hundred percent your property. I am my own person and have been taking care of myself and Sarah for years. That won't be changing. Got it? We may have to be together but nowhere did the spirits say that I have to actually like you. And right about now, I am not so sure I like you very much." I folded my hands in my lap because I couldn't cross my arms and stared him down.

He looked pissed off but he was roaming over what I had just said to him.

"Fine since I can't agree to everything you just said how about we come to an agreement. I agree you shouldn't have to stay at Sam's and I apologize for not taking you into consideration, I just wanted you safe and close because if anything were to happen to you I would go crazy and die" I softened up at that statement and grabbed his hand. I am such a bitch. I am over here thinking all about me and here it is that I am not the only person in this weird ass relationship thingy "And to your needing to ask permission how about you let me know when you are leaving somewhere and where you are going, and possibly a time you will be back because otherwise I am going to go insane and I am letting you know right now that the wolf says he would hunt you down and spank that pretty little ass." He told me sheepishly.

I opened my mouth to say something but he put his finger on my lips lightly to shush me.

"I know that isn't what you want to hear but that is a part of me. A thrill in the chase and the spanking. God he has wanted me to get my hands on that pretty bottom of yours but he knows you aren't ready. So he is being patient. And I tell you patient isn't a word in our vocabulary. So do you think you can do that? Compromise with me here?" He asked.

I nodded "Yeah I can compromise. I also need to start thinking of your feelings too. And I am sorry I didn't think about how you would feel or react earlier when I took off. I'll be more careful. I promise. But you have to promise you will put in to perspective about how I would feel about something before you say or rather demand something." He nodded.

Once we were done with our little talk I turned towards doc spark, blondie, and penny. "Hey doc am I clear to go?" I asked. I noticed Paul started to shake when he realized they were still here and they hurried to tell me it was all clear to go.

With that I hopped off the bed with help from Paul who happened to call me short, Hey I am not short he is just a giant. And we walked out together with a fresh understanding of each other.
