Seth
Chapter 6
She had been asleep for one day five hours and 22 minutes. I never thought I could be this scared in my entire life. Not when I phased for the first time was I this freaked out. The girl that I as spouse to protect love and keep safe was laying in a hospital bed sleeping. I had not moved since the doctors put her in here after they fixed her up. After getting out of the car Dr. Cullen was there waiting for us.
Dr. Cullen walked up to us quickly. "What happened to her?"
"She fell on the rocks at first beach. She cut her arm open and she passed out."
"Let's get her inside quickly."
I followed Dr. Cullen in the emergency room doors and straight to one of the beds toward the back. He pointed to the bed on the far right I laid her down carefully. I brushed the hair out of her face and then grabbed her hand. Two nurses came over and started to unwrap the bandage that Emily put on her arm. The other started to put an IV into her wrist. I barely saw what they were doing I just stared at her face waiting for her eyes to open wanting to be the first thing she saw when she woke up. I felt a hand on my arm it was one of the nurses "We need you to step out we need to take care of her."
"Can I please stay?"
"Let us get her all cleaned and stitched up then you can come back in."
"Ok but if she wakes up come and get me please."
"We will and when we get done we will come get you."
"Ok" I had to will my feet to carry me to the waiting room. I saw the other guys in there I started towards them needing to be with my brothers.
"How is she."
"She's the same Embry you saw her two minutes ago." I said with a little bit too much bitterness.
"Sorry man."
"I am just worried about her I don't want to be here I want to be in there." I pointed to the door I walked through that my girl is now laying there alone. I sat there replaying the day in my head over and over again. I had to make sure she was going to be ok. I was not going to leave her till she woke up and went home. I was going to take care of her now and forever. Out of no where I felt a vibrating in my pocket it was my phone. I pulled it out and looked at the caller id it was Leah she was not the person I needed to talk to right now. But I opened my phone because my over protective sister was not going to stop till I talked to her.
"Leah what do you need now."
"Wow Seth moody are we."
"Not now Leah I am not in the mood right now."
"I just wanted to call and see how she was doing."
"She's with the doctor right now. She passed out while at Sam's house."
"Well someone was spouse to come and take over portals a little bit ago and no one has shown up where is everyone?"
"Well here they all followed me and Sam here."
"Can you get one of them to come back to la push so I can go home. I have been out here since 5 am and I want some sleep."
"Yeah Leah I will let Sam know."
"Thanks let me know how she is later ok."
"I will."
"Bye Leah."
"Bye Seth."
I hung up and put the phone back in my pocket. And told Sam about Leah still being on patrol Jared was spouse to relive her but is here with us. He ran back to la push leaving the rest of us to sit there and wait. I waited for 2 hours hundreds of things going though my head. Is she ok? What's taking so long? What are they doing to her? When will she wake up? Why is she not up yet? What's her favorite color? Or food? My mind did not go from anything but her.
Slowly the guys left one by one having other things to do. Sam stayed with me though sitting there silently beside me. It brought back memories of when I did this with my dad. We sat here waiting for information about how he was doing only to finally get the word that he had left us forever. His leaving us was the hardest thing ever. It had been me and Leah phasing that had done it. Knowing that we both had phased knowing that Leah had phased a girl. The legends never said anything about that.
But now it was a girl I had imprinted on a girl that even just knowing her for an hour I love her. This was different I knew she wasn't going to leave me she was just hurt. But that did not matter I was going crazy waiting when I was about to go find someone to ask about how she was doing Dr. Cullen come out I had to hold back the reaction to phase that came with his sent. I hated to admit it but he was a good doctor even if the wolf side of me wanted to phase right then and kill him. He stopped a little farther away then the normal person would and looked down at me. I stood up quickly thinking I was getting bad news again. I look in to his eyes waiting for him to speak.
"She is fine. She is sleeping right now. When she fell the rocks cut some veins in her arm it took a while to stop the bleeding to be able to stitch her arm up. Because she lost so much blood we are giving her some blood. She is on some pain meds for the cut and a possible sprained wrist as well. We put 300 stitches in her arm and have her wrist in a splint for now. The medicine is going to keep her sleeping a lot but when she is ready she will wake up."
"Can I see her now? And if she needs blood I can donate some I don't mind." At hearing she was ok that she was fine made me want to run to where she was that seconded. I had to force my self to lesson to what he had to say past she is fine.
"I don't think you giving blood is a good idea. I am not so sure how her body will take to your blood. But yes you can see her. Just follow me I will take you to her room." He turned around and both Sam and I followed him to one of the rooms down the hall from the waiting room. Her wonderful sent filled my nose the second we reached the door. She was laying there in the hospital bed on her back her blood soaked clothes were gone and she was in a hospital gown. I would have to get her some better cloths soon I just did not know where she lived to get them. She had an IV in her unhurt arm while he other was wrapped in gauze and soft splint. Here eyes were closed and her chest was moving up and down with each breath. Her long hair was surrounding her head on the pillow. I slowly walked over to her I pulled the chair from by the wall and put it right next to her bed. I gently picked up her hand and held it intending to never let it go. I did not even realize Sam and Dr. Cullen were still here until Sam walked up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"I am going to head back to La Push Emily is probably worried by now.
"Can you tell my mom were I am and can you have someone bring me a change of cloths." I was still wearing no shirt never having picked mine up from the woods after I phased and my cut off shorts with no shoes. I was getting stares of both types the he's hot stares that have become more frequent since I started to phase and the what is he doing in so little cloths stare.
"Yeah me or one of the guys will bring something by."
"Thanks Sam for everything today."
"You don't have to thank me Seth I have been were you are before I know how worried you are. I will see you later let us know how she is doing she's part of the pack now."
"I know she is and I will."
With that Sam left I knew this was bringing up bad memories for him. He was where I am a year ago but he had been the cause of Emily getting hurt. He lost control for a second and hurt her and he pays for it everyday. He never lets himself or us for that matter forget what happens when we lose our tempers. I just sat there like I was, holding her hand staring at her waiting I would do that as long as I had too.
I never left except to get food and call home or to Sam. The guys or Leah brought me food most of the time. They would come by and visit with me for a little bit tiring to get me him off what was going on. It never helped but they were trying. I slept with my head on her bed just in case she woke up. Mom was starting to worry after the second day I was there. She came by begging me to at lest come home and sleep but I couldn't. They could not get a hold of her mom and she would be here alone and I just could not do that. Mom also coned Leah in to combing by later and trying to convince me again. It did not work when she tried either I was staying there but at lest Leah had another change of cloths and food when she came.
I put my head on Katie's bed to rest I did not get much sleep while there but I would not leave. I had been laying there for a while now drifting in and out of sleep not wanting to be asleep if she woke up. There out of no where I felt a squeeze on my hand she had done this before in her sleep and every time I my head would pop up as quickly as I can to check on her. And this time was no different but instead of seeing her eyes closed they were open. I could not contain myself the smile that was on my face probably made me look like a goofball.
"You're awake?" I was so happy and surprised that I swear I could have burst.
"Yeah where am I?" she was looking around like she was trying to find something familiar.
"The hospital after you passed out we got you here as fast as we could. I couldn't help but have a flash back to what happened days ago now."
"How long was I out?"
"Three days when you fell it was a lot worse that we all thought. You lost a lot of blood. The rocks cut some veins in your arm they had to repair them before they could stich your arm up. They gave you a few pints of blood. I was going to donate some of mine for you but they said I couldn't." It wasn't that I couldn't it was that there was no telling what werewolf blood would do to her. For all we knew I could kill her or just change her in small ways.
"How long have you been here?"
"Since we drove over here. My sister brought me a few change of cloths. I haven't left from this chair but a few times and never for long." I had to some how let her know that I cared about her but I was not ready to tell her about me imprinting on her just yet. So I just rubbed the back of her hand to let her know that I was holding her hand and I was there for her.
"When can I go home?" I could tell she did not like being here at all.
"You sure are full of questions."
"I have been out of it for three days I have to get caught up."
"Well you're going to have to ask the doctor when you can go home. But I think it is still going to be a few days. How are you feeling?"
"Ok my arm hurts."
I smelled Dr. Cullen coming and knew he was coming to check on her again today. Katie's eyes grew big as Dr. Cullen came though the door. He came and stood next me to by the bed. "You are awake that is wonderful. Well how are you feeling?" He asked while looking at her eyes with a small light then he checked the IV's and other machines she was hooked up to and then looked down at her.
"I feel alright my arm is bothering me and I am still tired."
"Your arm will keep bothering you for a while now. And you will be tired for a while and the medicine for the pain in your arm makes you sleepy. Did Seth tell you what happened when they brought you in?"
"He said I lost a lot of blood and cut a vein in my arm." This seamed to upset her saying out loud what happened so I started to rub circles on her hand again to calm her down a bit after a few seconds it seamed to work so I keep going continuing to let her know I was there for her.
"Yes in a short version that's what happened. But I want to keep you here for a while longer maybe three or four days just to make sure. Where are your parents we were not able to get in contact with them?"
"My mom is in New York on a trip for work. She won't be back till next week. If we can not tell her about this it would be great I don't want her coming all the way back when I am just fine. She worked to hard on her proposal to leave while it's being presented."
"How old are you Seth didn't know and we need a parent if you're under eight teen."
"I am eight teen."
"Ok we won't call her but someone is going to have to stay with you. You know Alice I can ask her for you if you want."
I was not about to let a Cullen take care of her no matter how good of friends they are. That girl could lose control and kill Katie. And I was not going to let that happen. Without even thinking I blurted out "I will take care of her I have been here all along." With only a hint of protectiveness and clam in my voice.
"Is that ok with you?" He was looking down at Katie making sure that she was happy with it.
"Yes that's fine." She said yes I could have jump for joy but I held it in.
"Well I will let you rest even though you just woke up you should get some rest soon. I will check in on you in a few hours." Then Dr. Cullen left us alone in the room.
I looked down at her just to find her looking at our hands like she just realized my hand was there. I followed her eyes to my arm and then to my shirt unfortunately Leah brought me a shirt that was too small. She finally realized I was looking down at her I just smiled at her.
"I am going to go call Sam he wanted to know when you woke up. And I need some more cloths too." I looked down at my to small shirt and laughed. "Can someone go to your house to get you some cloths? The ones you had were covered in blood they had to throw them away."
"Yeah I don't mind I just don't know where my keys are, they were in my bag."
"I have your bag. I will get Emily to get you some cloths what do you want her to get."
"Well since I will have to stay in bed I guess some sweats and t shirts will do."
"Where will Emily be able to find them?"
"My room is at the top of the stairs. And in the chest the two middle doors have my sweats and t shirts in it."
"Ok I will see if they can get you those tonight. You have been very cold while you were asleep so they will help. I will be right back." I squeezed her hand before I let go and walked out of the room to call Sam. I had to make myself stand up and walk out of the room and down the hall. I pulled my phone out and called Sam.
"Hey Seth is something wrong?"
"The complete opposite she is awake and she's fine."
"That's great."
"Yeah I do have one more favor to ask and I promise this will be the last one."
"Cloths or food?"
"Umm both actually. I would have asked Leah but she brought me a shirt that was to small not a comfortable feeling."
"Just one change in cloths or more?"
"A few like three. And can Emily do something for me Katie needs some cloths too. She is freezing in that stupid hospital gown thing."
"Yeah we can do that too."
"I have her house keys so Emily can get into her house."
"Ok we will be there in a while we are about to eat dinner so I will bring you some left over's."
"Thanks Sam for everything."
"It's what the pack is for we help each other. See you in a while."
"Yeah see you later."
I walked back down the hall to Katie's room I did not want to be away from her for a second right now. I walked in the door she was staring up at the ceiling. I was hoping she was not in any pain but just in case I walked back over took my set and gently picked her hand up again. She looked down at me before starting to talk.
"I haven't said thank you. Things would have been worst if not for you."
"You don't have to say anything I wasn't going to sit there why you were hurt."
"But you did not know me. She looked really confused as to why I would help her."
"Doesn't matter its how things work in La Push. If someone needs something you do what you can to help. You should get some sleep. By the time you wake up I should have some cloths for you."
"Ok but don't let me sleep to long I don't want to bore you by being sleep for another three days." She was to sweet worrying about me when she is the one hurt and in the hospital.
I just squeezed her hand a bit. "Just sleep don't worry about me." I started to rub the back if her hand and she was asleep in minutes. I could not decided if it was the medicine they had her on or me I like to think it was me being there. Not long after she fell asleep a nurse came in. she check her iv and then left and came back with a new bag of fluids.
"How long as she been asleep?"
"Not long about a hour or so."
"I just put a new bag of fluids in her IV if she wakes up and is cold let me know at the nurses station and I can get her another blanket."
"I will thank you."
When the nurse left I put my head down on the bed and tried to sleep since I knew she was fine and would wake up I could sleep now. Before I new it I was asleep and being woken up by the bed moving under my head.
"Wha…... Wha…... oh you're awake."
"Yeah I woke up I am really cold is there any extra blankets around."
"Yeah think so I will go ask the nurse for one for you." I stood up and walked out the door to the nurses' station the nurse that came in earlier smiled at me.
"She got cold."
"Yeah did not take long."
"Here you go."
I walked back to the room with the thin blue blanket in my hands. I laid the blanket over her and started to tell her why she was to cold.
"The nurse said the IV fluid is new and its cold. So that's what's making you cold she said it will warm up soon."
"Thanks for the blanket. You know you don't have to sleep here I will be fine while you go home and sleep."
"I want to stay just in case."
"There's no were for you to sleep here"
"No just this chair and your bed for a pillow."
"Well then I will move over and you can sleep up here with me."
"No I am fine right here I would not want to hurt you by accident. Just go back to sleep." I still wanted to be able to leave incase my temper got the best of me. With her not knowing about me being a wolf it was just easier till she knew.
She grabbed my hand while trying to get comfortable again. I was going to let go so she could sleep but stopped when her grip tightened on my hand. So I let her keep my hand I had held hers for the past three days so why not one more night. I watched her close her eyes and drift off to sleep. After she feel asleep I laid my head back down on her bed and let myself drift off as well.
