I knowww its short. I'm so sorry. But I swear, this chapter is one of the last short ones for awhile. It's the gateway to the real plotline, I promise. No! I Solemnly Swear. Ooh...that's good. :D

When I stepped foot into the hospital, I tugged down the hat and hood further down and clutched my zipper on the front of my jacket tightly. What if I was spotted? What if I was recognized? Carlisle chuckled lowly.
"Settle down, boy. Acting suspicious will do nothing for your cause. Act like you are supposed to be here. Act like you own the place-but keep your hat on."
I grinned at his statement. I owned the place, pfft. I wish. I did unzip my jacket though, and sighed, straightening my posture warily and walking standing fully standing up instead of slouching like I had been.
We reached Bella's room and Carlisle went in, speaking softly. Soon enough, he came out with Marie. She was in my arms the moment she saw me. Sobs were coming from her.
"Blake," she whimpered. "This is so horrible. Can we please not continue with this? I had no idea Bella depended on you so much!"
I shook my head. "Bella will be fine, I promise. She's a tough girl."
"B-But-"
"No buts. We're already in this far, we can't back out easily."
"I guess you're right."
"Yep."
She stood up then, shoving off me. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply a few times, then opened them and leaned in for a kiss. As her cold lips hit mine, my eyes closed of their own accord and I leaned in. Before it could get too heated, though, Carlisle cleared his throat. I was fine with that, Marie looked a little grumpy though. I placed my arm around her waist tightly and hers went up behind my shoulder blades gently.
"Blake, she seems to be responding perfectly to what Marie did. Bella will be fine, although very confused. I think you're right, she seems mighty tough. I would be very proud of her if I were you. She'll be the one to hold together your mother."
Guilt flooded through me once again. How could I possibly leave Bella to tend to mom all by herself? Bella was barely even a teenager!
I sighed and dropped my head. Marie's arm tightened around my shoulders and I could tell she was seething. I rubbed my hand softly across her back.
"It's okay Marie. This is what I want, I promise. I have made my decision. That is that."
She looked up at me slowly. "Are you sure? I really wish this didn't have to happen this way."
"Don't worry. We can still keep an eye on her, right?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Okay then. She'll be fine, under…what, eight, nine vampires protection?"
"I guess so!" A beautiful giggle snuck out of her and her smile grew. "She'll be fine." She murmured to herself. And she was right, everything would be alright. Everything would be fine.
