I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT

Chapter Three

"I might be able to pick you up," he says.

"Only one way to find out." I say.

After about an hour of stumbling along using Jeff's shoulder for a support I finally get up the courage to ask him a very important question, "Jeff, do you know what day of the week it is?"

"Um… I think it's Monday, why?"

"Oh, Charlie is going to kill me," I moan.

"Why?" Jeff asks, ever curious.

"I've been in the woods for about 32 hours!" I exclaim, "He'll have been worried and then I'll get back and then I'll be grounded for weeks!"

"Well, look on the bright side," Jeff says (he's been in a much better mood since I agreed to be his friend), "I can go up in you room without Charlie even knowing and we can spend time together the whole time you're grounded."

"Yeah, I guess," despite myself, I feel a smile playing on my lips, "That doesn't sound too bad after all."

"How much longer before we get there?" I ask.

"About 5 minutes, I think," he says.

"Prepare yourself; I'm not sure how Charlie will react." I say as I start to recognize the woods behind our house."

"Um… Bella?" Jeff says.

"Yes?" I ask.

"I won't be able to support your weight in front of people. How will you make it from the edge of the woods to your house?"

"Um… can you find me a stick to support my weight?" I plead.

(He goes off to find a stick, a few minutes later he comes back)

"Will this do?" he asks, holding out a long, thick, strait stick.

"Perfect, thanks," I say.

I slowly move my weight off of him and on to the stick.

"I think this'll work," I say. I take a step forward and fall. "Shit!"

"So… what's plan B?" Jeff asks.

I smirk, "It's not that hard to figure out," I say.

"Dad!" I yell.

Charlie comes running out of the house.

"Bella! I've been so worried about you! Where have you been?" he says very quickly.

"I got in a fight with Jake and decided to go for a walk, but I fell down and broke my leg. I limped my way back using this stick for a support, but I tripped and fell again."

"Oh thank God you're all right," he says. I watch as his relief changes to anger.

"You just went off on your own in the woods with those bears loose without telling anyone?!?" he thunders.

"Yeah Dad, I'm really sorry. I won't do it again."

"You better believe you won't!" Charlie yells. I've never seen him so angry before.

"I guess you weren't kidding about your Dad's reaction," Jeff says.

"School, work, home, that's it!" Charlie yells. Then as an after thought, "You can go over to Jake's of Angela's once a week, but absolutely NO woods."

"Um… Dad? Can you take me to the doctor to get a look at my leg?" I ask.

"Oh, sure Bells, I forgot. Give me one minute. I'm gonna go get the cruzer."

"This is really awesome!" Jeff exclaims.

"It's great that I'm stuck in my room?" I ask puzzled.

"Of curse silly," he says, "This means we get to spend a whole bunch of time together!"

"You're right!" I exclaim.

(No ones POV)

A few minutes later Charlie pulls around the cruzer and helps Bella in. They get to the hospital and Bella's leg is indeed broken and she has to get a cast.

Several hours later in Bella's POV

"I'm getting really tired Dad, can I go to bed?" I ask, looking at the clock. It's only four in the afternoon, but after being in the woods and going to the doctor I'm extremely tired.

"Sure honey," he says. After that first bout of yelling he was done, and I'm glad I got off so easy.

As I go up the stairs, Jeff follows as he has been all afternoon. I go to my room and close the door behind Jeff.

"That wasn't too bad," Jeff says, "You're dad could have exploded. You got off pretty easily."

"Yeah, I did. I'm usually not so lucky," I say.

"Now what are we going to do?" Jeff asks.

"Um… I really do need some sleep, do you sleep? Anyways, there's not much to do while I'm sleeping. What do you want to do?" I ask.

"I want to go spy on Sam's gang! I want to see why Jake left," he says.

"Really? I'd like to know what's going on too. Can you wake me up when you find out?" I ask, right before I fall into a deep dreamless sleep.

AN: I want to do the next chapter in Jeff's POV. What do you guys think?
