Chapter 20

Worry

After a day of healing with Frederic and the Cullens, on Saturday, we were able to go back home. Surprisingly, we were in San Francisco! I didn't know that Frederic lived so far from Olympia. He said that we could visit him anytime we needed something. He was really nice and I was starting to like him. Frederic gave us some remedies to help me heal better. Before we left, Edward put me in his arms—bridal style— and ran home for hours. I slept for most of the trip home and I was happy when he put me in the guest room. I was back in a comfy bed.

A few days passed and I was able to go back to school after four days of rest. My leg was in a cast but I had Edward to help me instead of crutches. Jasper got exchanged to go in Gym class close to Exams but that was only to help me. Alice was happy to help me in Math for all the days I missed. I got my loving partner Emmett in Chemistry. Edward switched classes to come in my English class. At least I had some Cullens in all of my classes. I was happy about that. At least I could see Edward now.

Now, I was sitting at the Cullens table instead of being with Sam and all that. They seemed a little sad but Sam was all for it. They were all happy to see me alive. Apparently, Henry had put some flyers up around as a missing person. Since when did he start to care so much? Alice bought me a brand new Apple portable computer for my return home—which I have no idea why—since I left my computer back at Henry's house and I brought it to school a few times for projects. Lizzy still wasn't at school. Where the heck was she? She was starting to miss many weeks of school.

Tuesday night, I got back to the Cullens house to start on my English report on the Medieval Times. Luckily, I had Edward as my partner to help me. He knew pretty much everything. When I placed my new computer in the living room, I decided I might as well check my messages. I logged on my email and I saw six new emails. And guess who it was all from… Chanel. I sighed. "Great…" Edward looked confused.

"What's the matter love?"

"My mother… She worries way too much. Maybe I should check my emails and answer back before we start." I said.

"That might be the best way to go." He said as I opened my emails and started reading the first email.

Hey Jules,

You never came to Seattle! I was starting to get worried that something happened to you. Did something go wrong? Are you back home with Henry? Answer me straight away when you get this. Love you!

Mom

"Great…" I said as I put my hand to my forehead and sighed.

"You might want to reply fast, love. She'll get even more worried if you don't." I knew he was right but it was just so much work to get my mom to calm down.

"Fine…" I said as I opened a new message and started writing to her.

Hey Mom,

I'm still in Olympia… Just not with Henry. I was about to go see you but my car broke down and some friends of mine offered that I stay with them. They're very nice people and I'm starting to like one of them… But everything's going well. Don't worry. Love you!

Jules

I sent it and now, I had more to open from her… "Well, one down… Five to go…" I said as I opened the next one.

Jules,

I'm still waiting! Answer soon!

Mom

"I told you! She worries way too much!" I said as I snuggled into Edward even more.

"She's just worried about you. Since you already replied to her, go to the next one. She will get it soon." Edward said as he flashed me his dazzling smile that I could never refuse. I sighed and opened the next one.

JULES,

ANSWER ME OR I WILL BE FORCED TO CALL YOUR FATHER!

Mom

I put my head in my hands and sighed in embarrassment at these emails. Edward was laughing. He must think this is pretty amusing. "God…" I said as I opened the next one. This one was different and longer.

JULIETTE ELIZABETH SHRIKE!

Please tell me you're alright! I heard on the radio that there was an accident in Olympia! Please tell me that wasn't you! Answer me back when you get this!

Mom

"Well, at least this one she used my whole name…" I said sarcastically.

He put his arms around me and put his head on my shoulder. I could feel his breath on my neck. It was to die for. "I love your name." His angelic voice rang through my ears.

"Thanks…" I said as I opened the next one.

Jules!

Henry called me! He's worried sick about you! He told me that he found your car CRASHED and burned to bits on a deserted road! What happened? Are you alright? Please Jules! Answer these emails when you get them! Or call or something! Just let me know that you're alright! I miss you so much!

Mom

"She's so over-protective. Do you think I should call her? I know the next one, she'll be furious." I asked as I gazed into his golden eyes.

"Whatever you think will work love. You can use our telephone if you'd like." He said as I started to get up but he was behind me in an instant. He held my waist as I got towards the phone and I was wobbling all the way there. My concussion had left me a little wobbly and my leg was getting better every day. But mostly, I got bad headaches and dizzy spells easily. As I reached the phone, I started dialling the number. My mother picked up after a few rings. She was always slow at answering the phone. I was the one who always picked it up.

"Hello?" Her soft motherly tone asked.

"Mom?"

"Jules?! Is that you?! I've been so worried! Why haven't you answered any of my previous emails?!" She asked hysterically. I don't know why she's so jumpy.

"Look, I just got your emails, ok?!" I said but suddenly got a nasty dizzy spell and held onto the kitchen counter. Edward came right behind me and held my shoulders but my mother took my silence as something wrong.

"Jules, are you ok? What's wrong?"

"I'm fine… Just a little headache… I've had it all day…" I said but Edward wanted me to sit back down on the couch and lay down a little.

"Are you sure? You should get some Tylenol or something."

"Thanks for the tip, Mom." I said as I sat down on the couch with the cordless phone to my ear. I lied down on Edward's lap as I talked to my mother. "Anyways, I just got your emails now. I've been… busy these past couple of days." I said. Sure, I was busy but I've been busy healing.

"It's alright, sweetie! I'm just happy that you're safe. I was worried sick when I heard that horrible accident. What happened?"

"There was a really bad storm out here and… um… my car just swerved uncontrollably. I tried everything but when my car hit a tree, I guess some gasoline or something leaked out and a spark set my car on fire. I got out of it before it happened though." I lied. Edward made a pained face at the story. It brought back horrible memories for him. I put my free hand on his cold cheek and petted it softly. He thought I really did die in that accident. Unfortunately, the accident passed in the newspaper and we burned that copy when it was brought to the front door. "Don't worry Mom; I just have a bad leg and a slight concussion. It's nothing to worry about."

"Well, honey, try to be more careful next time. I don't want to lose you." That kind of hit home. I was their only child now and if I was to die now, they would be devastated.

"I know Mom… I know. I'm sorry if I gave you a scare." I said.

"It's alright Jules. I'm just glad you're safe. Are you going to be there on Friday?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'll be there. Are we still going to Mike's place afterwards?" I asked.

"Of course. We have to do the annual things. I'll be flying in on Thursday and I'll be staying at the nearest hotel. I'll call you when I arrive." She explained.

"Sure. Call at this number."

"Alright, see you soon honey. I love you."

"Love you too, Mom." I said before she hung up. I shut the phone off after her and laid my head on Edward's lap. My headache was starting to go away and I was starting to get a little tired.

"What's happening on Friday?" Edward asked as he started taking my hair out of my face.

"Well… Friday, will be the anniversary of Justin's death… My mom and I go every year to the cemetery to put flowers on his grave and then, we go to our friend's restaurant to get our mind off of the day…" I said as I started to get up from his lap alone but I was a little unsuccessful so, he helped me sit up straight. "Now, we have two people to visit. I guess you could call it tradition."

"Would you like me to come with you?"

"Um… if you'd like."

"Can we come too?" I heard a childlike voice say behind us. I turned around to see all the Cullens, even Rosalie, standing close to the kitchen. They looked rather sad.

"Um… I guess… But you'll see us sad all day probably." I said.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure that doesn't happen." Jasper said. I remember now. He could control emotions. I guess he could help us feel a little bit less sad than usual.

"Thanks Jasper. I appreciate it. We need to be at the cemetery by nine thirty. And, we need to pick my mom up at her hotel." I specified.

"Alright." Rosalie said as everybody started leaving happier than before.

"Is it just me or Rosalie's being nice to me?" I asked Edward.

"That might be possible. She was quite worried when you were missing." Edward said as I snuggled on him.

"Really?"

"Of course. Everyone was worried something terrible happened to you. That might have given her a change of heart." Edward said, flashing me his dazzling smile.

I hope so… I thought. I didn't like people changing on my account, but if Rosalie and I could get along, that would be good… I hope.

Alright, so what'd you guys think? Review please:)
