Seth

Chapter 8

She had been in the hospital for three days, and I had been there next to her the whole time never leaving her side. Everyone came by to see her all the guys and Emily too. Emily brought me over cloths that fit which was great. Emily kept Katie company while I ate the food that Emily brought me a few times a day. She even brought over some cloths from Katie's house as well. The guys came by too they were great they all brought her a wolf and even got one for me to give her. Each wolf that she had looked like one of the guys. They had balloons, and flowers for her too. It was great to see them take to her so fast, and her take to them. She smiled while they were there joking and laughing right along with the guys.

Her friends from school even came by Bella brought three of the Cullen's with her. It took everything I had to actually let them stay they were her friends, and she did not know what Alice and Edward were yet. I wondered if she new what they were if she would be scared of them or accept them as they are. I stayed next to her the whole time they were there. I knew that they knew what I was I could see the look on there faces when they smelled me the same look was on my face. We all tried to keep our faces from showing the disgust of the smell of each other. The little once Alice brought her warm sweats and shirts this was one thing I was happy about she was always cold. Bella brought her some flowers I placed them next to the many flowers the pack had brought her.

We both enjoyed time when there were visitors there but I enjoyed the time alone most. When I called Emily about the cloths I asked if she could bring us movies to watch as well. She true to her word bought a stack for us for many different kinds of movies. She wouldn't let me sit in that chair while watching movies so I let her convince me to sit with her. I climbed in her bed moving her blankets over I would not need them. She moved to the other side so I could fit in I got settled and picked up her hand again. We sat like that the whole time while watching the movies.

The first night she got really cold so I had to get her another blanket I wanted to just make her warm myself but I did not want to push her if she was not ready for it. I asked the nurse for blankest and covered her up with them and pulled them up on her arms. Finally I gave up and when she said she was cold just wrapped my arm around her she seemed ok with it so I just stayed there. She fell asleep there that night leaning against me her head on shoulder. She was so beautiful there eyes closed hair falling in her face, her mouth in a slight smile. I tried to slide out of the bed slowly so I would not wake her up but her hand slid over my chest and she grabbed a hand full of my shirt. I tried to pry her hand lose but her fist just got tighter. Not wanting to wake her I just slid back to were I was and kept watching the movie till she woke up.

Dr Cullen was going to let her go home on the sixth day her mom was not back yet so I offered to stay home with her till she was better or till her mom got home. I called Emily and asked if she and Sam could come pick us up in a few hours and take us to her house. I also called mom and asked her to get some cloths together for me and to let her know what was going on. She was not to thrilled that I had imprinted on Katie. Mom came by when Katie was asleep to talk to me. Leah told her what happened of course and mom had to come over and get the facts. She saw Katie asleep on the bed arm bandaged up and then looked to me for an explanation. I had to go though the whole story with her. But there was still more explaining to do as to why I wanted to stay here with Katie. Mom finally understood I was ecstatic that she let me stay here and that she understood everything. Ever since the thing with Leah and Sam she was not to happy about the whole imprinting thing.

No only did I have to endure my mom's questions stares and worrying about what she would say I had to talk to Katie's mom over the phone. She grilled me on everything where I was from, what we were going to be doing, were I would be sleeping while at there house, was my mom ok with it, how we met, and the story of what happened to get Katie to the hospital. I had to promise to stay there till Katie's mom arrived from her trip and met her when she got home. And I had to make sure I stayed on the couch down stairs while Katie slept in her room.

A few hours after the call to Emily and my mom Dr Cullen walked in checked on Katie and signed her release papers. He told her to change her bandage twice a day with help and come back in two weeks to get the stitches out. Katie and I walked out with my duffle bag in hand while I pushed her chair in front of me. Jared and Paul came earlier in the day to get all of Katie's flowers, stuffed wolfs and balloons. I gave them her house key and asked them to put them in her room. I really owed my brothers for everything they had done for me the past week. We came outside to Sam and Emily's car I helped in the back set while I walked around to get in the other side.

The drive the her house was pretty quick even with it being closer to the Rez than Forks we still got there fast with Sam's fast driving. When Sam stopped the car I got out helped Katie out and then met Sam at the trunk. "Thanks for everything Sam tell Emily thank you for me." I said while our heads were in the trunk. "Call if you need anything nether one of you has a car." Smiling at his thoughtfulness "I will."

I pulled the bags out and slung them over my shoulder and walked over to Katie to help her in the house. I pulled out her keys that I kept in my pocket to keep them from getting lost. I unlocked the door and let Katie in her house. I turned around and waved at Sam and Emily as they pulled out of the drive. I turned to Katie who stood looking in her house like it was forever since she had been there so I decided to speak.

"So where do I put your bag."

"My room I guess I will show you."

"The guys brought all this here earlier for you with Emily's help of course."

"That was nice of them. Well I guess you can put your bag here too if you want."

"Ok you sure I can keep it down stairs."

"No its fine." I winced as I moved my arm

"Your armed is bothering you I will get you some water so you can take your medicine."

"Thanks Seth."

As I walked down the stairs I could hear her sit down on her bed and pick something up. I opened several cabinets to find a glass and then opened the fringe and poured her some water. As I was walking up the stairs I heard her sigh something was bothering her and I knew she would not tell me. I opened the door to see her playing with her stuffed wolf that looked like me. It brought a smile to my face as I pushed the door open.

"I was just about to call and order some pizza what kind do you want." I handed her the water and then the pill.

"We don't need to call out for pizza I can cook us something." She said before swolling the pill with a mouth full of water.

I was not about to let her cook anything with one good arm. Pizza would be just fine no work for her at all. "You don't need to do that and you only have one good arm."

"Yeah but you have two." She had a grin that could only mean trouble.

Katie found a jar of sauce and a box of noodles in the cabinet so we were going to eat pasta. She tried to look for pots and fill them with water and stir them but I took everything from her. She just stood there next to me telling me what to do step by step. I did not even mean to but my arm managed to get around her waist a few times with out me even knowing it. But I did purposefully put my hand down near hers gently to not hurt her bad arm. She laughed when I tried to convince her to throw the noodles on the wall to really see if they were done. I would do anything to keep her laughing and smiling like that. After what had to be about two hours we finally could eat. I fixed both our plates mine twice the size of hers I laughed when I saw her face as she looked at my pile of noodles. I put our plates down on the table and then went back to grab our forks drinks and napkins.

Now watching Katie try to eat with her left hand was cute. She would use her right hand to put her fork in her hand right then try to get noodles on her fork. This worked fine for a few minutes until she dropped a fork full of noodles in her lap. I handed her my napkin and went back to get more for her. This happened another time and I just couldn't stop the laugh that came out. I finished long before she did I just sat back and watched her be cute struggling with her dinner.

I was watching her finish eating and said "I think we should have ordered pizza."

"I think your right I did not even think about this." Katie said as she was wiping off her hand and picking noodles off her lap.

"Its ok it's kinda cute." I did not even mean to tell her I thought it was cute. It just slipped out of my mouth.

"Thanks." She said smiling a small smile.

"I meant it in a good way but why don't you go change and clean up while I clean up down here. Do you want to watch a movie it's still kinda early." I wanted to keep our thing of watching movies together.

Ok I will go change and we can find something. I will let you pick."

I picked up our plates and glasses and took them to the sink and rinsed them off. I opened the dish washer and put the plate's pots and glasses in. it took just a few minutes to clean up and start the dish washer. I found there movies near the TV and went to search though them. I wanted to find something not to girly but not something she might not want to watch. Then I found the Mummy I remembered during our many conversations that she said it was one of her favorites. I put it in as I heard her coming down the stairs slowly.

"All clean and changed now?" I asked her as she stepped off the steps. I turned around to see her she had on a pair of gray sweats and a pink t- shirt from some school thing. She looked at me and held up the brown paper bag that had all her bandage things in it.

"Yep except one thing."

"You need some help?"

"Yeah my left hand is stupid."

I walked over to her and took the bag from her and we went and sat on the floor. She came and sat right in front of me. "Let me see your hand and let me know if I hurt you," I told her as I put my hand out. She placed her small hand in mine and I reached up and picked at the tape and pulled it loses along with the gaze. I unwrapped it till I came to the small splint and then all the way down to her arm. They still had gauze pads over the stitches I had to pull them off to change them. I knew this hurt her sometimes I held her hand as the nurses did this at the hospital. I picked up one pad and slowly started to pull the pads off I saw her wince I stopped dead I did not want to hurt her.

"You ok?"

"Yeah this part just hurts a bit."

"Ok but if it hurts stop me."

I picked up the pads again and slowly stared to pull of pads off I kept my eyes on her face to see how bad she was hurting. It went well for the while till I went to pull of the last one. I was slowly pulling at the pad and then I saw her wince heard her breath in and hold her breath and felt her hand grad mine. I had hurt her pretty bad I felt horrible I was spouse to stop the pain and I caused it gilt shoot though me faster then her pain.

"Oh my god i am so sorry are you ok?"

"I am fine." She was so brave.

" I did not mean to do that. I don't know what happened."

"Its ok really I am surprised it did a lot happen more. Let's just get this done so we can watch a movie." I took off the rest of the gauze pad with out a problem and I started to open clean pads and putting cream on her arm. I wrapped her arm back up putting the splint back on and taping it down. I put all the extras back in the bag and grabbed all the trash to throw away.

There all good now time for our movie. I said as I put the last piece of tape on her arm. I stood up and helped her stand and led her to the couch so we could get to our movie. I turned the TV on and pushed play on the remote for our movie to start. Once she saw it was the mummy and that I remembered it was one of her favorites she smiled and looked up at me. I picked up her hand and held it just like I have been for days. It just felt right her hand in mine. After a little into the movie she leaned her head on my arm that medicine of hers still made her sleepy. I started to hear her breathing falling even and moved my arm around her just in case he fell asleep she would be comfortable. The movie gave me time to think again with out having to deal with nurses and doctors coming in or the pack.

I hand never had a girl friend I was not even sure what I was doing but apparently it was right. I just let my instincts take over although I had to pull in some of the instincts. I had to rein in the wolf in me all the time. The more time I spent with her the more the wolf wanted out. I had to pull in the urge to kiss her all over hug her make her mine like the wolf in me wanted to. I knew that was not right that part of me had to be kept deep down I was not going to let that side of me out. I had not even told her what happened when I met her. She did not know I imprinted on her or about me being a wolf. I had no idea of how to tell her or how she would react. I had seen all of the other guys imprint's reactions. Rachel took it the worst she would not speak to Paul for days Billy and Jack had to talk to her to tell her Paul was telling the truth. She finally came around after a few days. Quill hasn't told Claire yet and wont till she is old enough to understand and Kim and Emily they took it the best. I just hope that she took it well it would kill me if she took it like Rachel did.

How was I going to tell her about everything with out scaring her to death? How do I explain to someone outside the tribe about our legends? That a world we all thought was make believe is really. I had to tell her that I phased into a huge horse sized wolf that ran faster than people can see and that I kill vampires. How do you tell someone that? How do you say that in a way that doesn't make her run from me? I looked down at the girl that I had to confess all this too and saw her sound asleep. I gently picked her up and carried her upstairs to her room I pulled back her blankets and laid her down. I pulled the blankets up over her and pulled her hair out of her face. She was sound asleep so I let the urge to kiss her take over. I leaned down and gently kissed her forehead knowing she would not know what I did. I headed back down stairs to get comfortable on the couch and finish the movie. My phone went off in my pocket it was a text from Sam PHASE AND MET US OUTSIDE OF KATIE'S HOUSE IN 5. I did not want to leave her alone but I would not be far so I slipped off my shirt on my way past the couch and threw my phone with it and headed out the door. I headed out the woods to meet the pack and to see what they wanted.
