Chapter 6

I woke in my bed feeling really sore. I could see the sun rising. I could feel sweat coming down my forehead. I immediately knew why, and when I looked over Jake lied while sleeping. He has his arm hooked around my waist and the sheets covering him. I just laughed as I saw a small smile pull at the edges of his mouth. I carefully unhooked his arm from around my waist and went to my closet. I picked out a simple pair of skinny jeans with a off the shoulder black shirt. I could hear Jake's snoring in the other room and I giggled like a little girl. I could hear footsteps and then the door opening. I looked over and saw Jake standing there with a simple pair of sweats that he wore last night.

"Good morning." He said happily.

"Good morning." I said I kept searching for a decent pair of shoes.

"How was your night?" He asked with laugh.

"Very good, how about you?" I asked with a laugh as I settled on a pair of black stilettos.

"Amazing…but where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm not going anywhere, I am just getting dressed." I said easily.

"Oh." He said as he went into the living room. I just followed him and watched as he slumped down on the couch.

"What?" I asked as I took in his tired expression.

"I have to go work patrol soon." He said, I saw the pain in his eyes.

"Okay." I said with a shrug. "When?"

"In like ten minutes." He sighed.

"Well, then I guess I will see you later?" I asked while he got up. I saw him nod with a small smile. He walked over to bedroom and walked in, then walked over to the balcony and climbed down the stairs that led to the back yard. I saw him quickly strip down and run in the woods. I sighed. I walked over to the living room and sighed heavily as I sat on the couch. I heard a faint ringing and ran a hand through my hair. I searched the couch and quickly found my phone. I don't know the number. I reluctantly flipped it open.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hello? Mia? Is that you?" I heard a frantic voice say.

"Rusty?" I asked with a smile. Rusty was my best friends step dad when I was 10. Care was like a sister, but she died in a car crash. I hung out with them all the time, even when she died. I always stayed with her baby brother Thomas. He was only about 2 years when she died. I was about 13 when she died. It's been about 2 years since I saw them. He must be like 5 or so.

"Yes, Mia you have to come here and fast. Listen, Sam is sick and we need your help with Thomas." He said franticly.

"I'll be there in ten seconds." I said as I dropped the phone and focused all my energy on him. I poofed up in a hospital room with Rusty in the corner yelling frantically in his cell while Thomas sat stiff as a board in the chair by Sam.

"Rusty?" I asked as he screamed and turned around.

"You weren't kidding." I laughed and shook my head.

"What is wrong?" I asked as I took in Sam's sleeping form. She lied limp in a hospital bed, with a light blue blanket covering her. I walked over and picked Tommy up and set him on my lap. "Hey little bro, how are you?" I asked as he started crying. I just sat and rocked him back and forth.

"She started coughing up blood. We rushed her here as fast as we could. Josh is still in Iraq and we didn't know who else could take care of Tommy while Sam is getting checked." He said in a rush. "Just until his god parents get here."

"No problem." I said as I started rubbing circles on Tom's back as his sobbing dyed down. "See little man. I'm here."

"He doesn't talk. He stopped after Care, well you know." He sighed as I single tear fell down his cheek. I just nodded. Rusty was always closer to Care then he real dad. He always beat her, and yelled at her. I was there most of the time when it happened. I tried to stop but when I did he yelled and would just yell harder at her. I felt helpless. But she always loved Rusty specially. She thought of him as a dad. Care wanted it like that.

"It's okay babe, I am here. Mimi is here." I used the name he called me when I was younger. He just looked in my eyes and nodded. I saw the doctor walk in, and started talking to Rusty. I set Tom down as I walked over.

"Young lady, this is private." He said seriously.

"She can hear." Rusty said.

"Well, okay, but it isn't good. She has an infection in her stomach. It has progressed and spread to her lungs. She won't make it past another month." He said with a frown. I saw Rusty fall to the ground with sobs. I sat next to him and pulled him into a hug.

"It's okay." I said over and over again. I stroked his back and tried to get him to calm down. He just kept crying. I cried too. I am really close to Sam, Care's mom, was like my mom. I wish I could do something but all I can do is just help Tom understand what is happening. "Tom, it's okay, I am here honey. Nothing will happen. I will be here. She loves you." I whispered as Rusty got up and sat in the chair in the corner and I went to Tom.

"Mia, I'll be right back, I will go get him some dinner." Rusty muttered as he left the room. I just nodded.

"Mia…. Is that you?" Sam asked in a rough voice.

"I'm here, hon. I am here." I mummered as I held her hand. I walked as blood stained tears fell from her eyes.

"Please, take care of them, I love them. Make sure they know that." She said as he breaths came in shallow pants. I saw her eyes droop and her mouth close.

"I will, but please don't leave now." I begged.

"I won't, I am just tired. But, Mia, Care wanted me to give you something, it's in my bag." I set Tom down on the chair as I went to the closet and pulled out her purse. I grabbed the while envelope sticking out. I read it out loud.

"Mies, please forgive me? I know I left without warning. I had a feeling something was going to happen. And I know you must hate me for not being more careful. I will always think of you as a sister, please take care of everyone if something happens." I finished the letter. I just stood there holding it. I fell to my knees after re-reading it again. I felt my breaths come unevenly. But I saw Tom start crying and I ran over to him.

"Shh, honey, she is better now. I love you." I stroked his hair back and held his hand as he lied down next to Sam and fell asleep. I sat there, just watching them. I felt my world crack and I too sobbed uncontrollably.

**

Tom's godparents came after about 6 hours. I stayed about an hour after to make sure they were okay. I said my final goodbyes to Sam and promised to come back soon. Tom spoke one word to me, and I didn't like the word. He said 'death' I saw the hurt in his eyes and I cringed back with pain. I left not long after that. And when I did get back it wasn't fun. I teleported to John's room and they were frantic.

"Where were you?!?" John yelled.

"I had to go to the hospital. Sam was sick. I took care of Tom." I said with one tear. I know they never really knew my real bond with Tom, they thought he was just another kid, but I was like a sister to him. I still am. And I want to protect him. I will be there no matter what, when or how. I don't care if I am in the middle of showering, I will jump out and get there.

"Oh Honey, it's okay, just tell us next time." Lizzie said to me as she hugged me as hard as she could. I just nodded and went to my room. When I walked in Jake was lying on the bed with a pained expression. I saw him flinch and he looked up.

"Jake?" I asked as I stood by the door.

"Where were you?" He asked.

"Emergency with a family friend. I went to take care of Tom." I said quickly. I saw him nod and look back up at the ceiling. "You're mad."

"Yes, you left without warning, I was so worried. I have been sitting here for 3 hours waiting for you." He said as he stood up and walked over.

"I'm sorry. Right after you left I got a call, and it was my friend's dad Rusty. He needed help with Tom." I said honestly.

"Please tell me next time." He begged. I craned my neck and gave him a gentle kiss.

"Of course, babe." I laughed. I saw him smile and my breath caught. I couldn't believe this beautiful creature is mine. This insanely hot beautiful creature.

"I missed you." He muttered. I pulled him into another kiss. He responded and returned the kiss. I felt him smirk against my lips. I felt my body jerk and my eyes glaze over. I was pulled into a premonition.

"Very nice to see you again Mia, we were hoping to find you." Aro said happily. I saw everyone, the guard, the wives, and a bunch of other vampires. I saw Edward and a bunch of other people. I also a big pack of wolves and me…standing there. I saw Bella…but…she is a…vampire…how could she? I mean why would she? I saw the most beautiful baby girl standing with her on a wolves back. I saw Charlie in his vampire life behind Bella. I saw John and Will…but they look different?

"As it is very pleasant to see you to Aro." I said calmly.

"What brought you to the Cullens?" Aro asked.

"Bella is very special in my life, and I met them through her. Now we are family." I said as I took Jake's hand. He was in his human form.

"And with a child of the moon…tsk tsk." He muttered.

"They are not children of the moon. I have made sure. I may not be a vampire…but I am very loyal to your race. Children of the moon are vile disgusting creatures that should not walk the earth." I said truthfully.

"Ah, and you have very special little baby with you." I saw the beautiful baby again. I saw the wolf growl and Bella stand in front of her protectively.

"She is not to be messed with." I hissed evilly.

"Well, we mean no harm if it means no harm." Aro said easily,

"She is no it." I said with a irritated tone.

"Ah, as well will not say it again. But we have come with a very special guest for you my dear." I saw a black-cloaked figure step forward. Then it was gone.

I still felt Jake kissing me, he didn't even notice the vision. I noticed we were on the bed with Jake hovering above me. Who could that figure be? I mean it didn't look familiar and I had my family with me? I mean who could it be? Urg this is going to drive me crazy. I guess I will worry about it later.

I woke when Will and John ran in the room like a bunch of crazy tornados.

"Time to go to school!!!" John yelled.

"No." I said as I rolled over and landed on something very hot. I saw Jake with smile on his face trying not to laugh. Thank god the covers are on us. "No school." I said as I snuggled into Jake's chest.

"Come on, Lizzie wants to do your make up." John said as I threat.

"Fine get out and I will get ready." I sighed.

"Fine, but Jake leaves as soon as you're done. No getting side tracked." I groaned and threw a pillow in his face. As soon as they shut the door I got up and ran to the closet. I picked a simple long sleeved gray shirt with the words twitter whore plastered on it and a pair of skinny jeans and black Mary Janes. I walked back into the room as Jake was getting up. My breath caught as he got up…with only the covers covering him. He threw on his shorts and laughed as I starred at his bare chest. I felt my face turn red.

"Okay, time for school I will see you when you get home." He said as he walked forward and planted a chaste kiss on my lips.

"No you won't, we have to go to the Cullens." I muttered.

"Doesn't mean I can't come tonight." He said in my ear. I shivered and he just laughed.

"Okay." I said with a stuttered, "But I don't know why we have to go to school, there is like two weeks left." I sighed.

"Yeah, but I bet your brother and sister want to graduate." He laughed.

"Fine." I said I kissed him and walked over to the door.

"Aren't you going to school?" I asked as he went over to the balcony.

"No," He said easily as he walked down the stairs and left me in a daze. He is so evil,
