Hi guys. You're probably wondering what happened to Carrie. Well you get to find out in this chapter and more. Well i hope you like it. I had one of my friends help with parts so please review and i do not own Twilight only my Ocs. Well here is chapter 9 and i hope you like it.
Zoey's POV
Embry, Quil and Jared met Kim, Claire and I at the beach after their shifts ended. Soon after they arrived it started to rain. No shocker there since it seems to rain everyday in La Push. We got to Sam's place after stopping somewhere to get Claire that ice cream I promised her. We went inside and saw Seth, Leah, Collin, and Brady in the living room. Sam was probably with Emily and Paul and Carrie were probably in a make out session.
"We're back!" I shouted.
Sam, Emily and Paul came out of the kitchen. Paul looked at us confused.
"Where's Carrie?" he asked.
Now it was my turn to look at him confused.
"She didn't come with us. She said she was staying here", I said.
Paul shook his head.
"No she said she was going to hang out with you. She said you were at the Cullen's place", said Paul.
"I never went to the Cullen's. I was at the beach with Kim and Claire", I said.
"Yeah and then we met them there", said Embry.
"Why would she lie about where she was going", said Emily.
My phone then started to go off. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Carrie. Okay she had a lot of explaining to do. I answered the phone and put it on speaker. Before I could say anything Carrie started talking in a frantic voice.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry", she said.
It sounded like she was trying not to cry.
"Hey Carrie slow down, what's wrong", said Paul moving closer to my phone.
"I didn't want to, but he said he was going to kill Zoey, Kim and Claire", said Carrie not even listening to Paul.
"Wow wow, backup. Who said he was going to kill Zoey, Claire and Kim, said Embry obviously mad.
Before Carrie said anything we heard the sound of someone taking the phone from her and a small scream. When we heard the scream Paul immediately tensed and started to shake a little.
"Hello wolves", said a cold voice. The entire pack froze when they heard that voice. I could only guess that it was the vampire, but why was he with Carrie.
Oh no, please don't tell me…
"I'm sorry, but Carrie ran out of time to talk", said the vampire.
"Where are you", said Paul in a dangerous tone.
Embry moved in front of me and that's when I noticed that Paul was shaking like crazy. His hands were a blur and it looked like he was struggling not to phase.
"You shouldn't have such a hostile tone. You should be proud of Carrie, I mean she is brave with what she did", said the vampire.
No one said anything. We were probably in shock that the vampire had gotten to her.
"Oh I have a question for Kim or Zoey, whoever decides to answer", said the vampire.
"What?" snarled Jared and Embry.
They probably didn't like the fact that the vampire knew our names.
"Sorry last I checked I asked Zoey or Kim, well I was going to ask how is the cut on Claire's leg. I hope it isn't infected", said the vampire in a taunting tone.
When he said that I paled and I'm sure Kim did too. That vampire was on the beach when we were. Then something clicked in my head.
"That's why Carrie called me isn't it. You told her what happened. That's why she asked about Claire. She knew you were watching us", I said.
"Bingo, everyone give a round of applause for Zoey", he said sarcastically.
"It's funny how you humans act. If your friends are in danger you're willing to walk to your death to save them", said the vampire.
"You mean she came to you" said Sam.
"Yep it was she either came to me or the newspapers would have the headlines 'Three girls found dead on beach' tomorrow. How do you think that would look three dead bodies on the front page", he said.
I felt sick. Carrie had gone to this freak so she could keep Kim, Claire and I safe. Then we heard a sharp crack on the other end.
"What did you do", hissed Paul.
"I kicked Carrie, though I think I kicked her to hard. I think I broke a rib, oh wait I did and it caused some internal bleeding. I can smell the blood going into her throat", said the vampire.
Paul and Sam looked like they were trying not to phase.
"Well I'll call you later and tell you where her body is. I wonder if you guys are going to have an open casket funeral. I wouldn't if I were you, especially when I get down with her", said the vampire.
There were a bunch of growls coming from the guys. There were probably mad that the vampire was able to get past them.
"Well I've got to go. I want to make sure my meal still taste good", he said.
Before he hung up we heard a loud snarl and then a scream, except that this time the scream came from the vampire. We heard other voices in the background.
"Hey guys", said a voice. I recognized it as Alice.
"Alice", I said in relief.
Thank God she and the others got there.
"Listen Rose, Edward and Emmet are taking care of the vampire. Carlisle is taking Carrie to the hospital. We'll see you when you get there", she said before hanging up.
As soon as she hung up we were all outside getting into the cars. It took us not even five minutes to get to the hospital. When we got to the waiting room Alice, Jasper, Jake and Nessie were waiting for us.
"How is she" we all asked at once.
"She's in surgery. Carlisle thinks she has two broken ribs and that one punctured a lung", said Jake.
The way he said that made me uneasy.
"Jake what aren't you telling us", asked Embry.
I'm not surprised he was able to tell Jake was hiding something. I mean they have been friends for years.
"She's going to be in a coma after wards and…" said Jake trailing off.
"And what?" said Paul.
"Her body's been under a lot of stress, her head was hit pretty hard and she lost a lot of blood, so we don't know when or if she's even going to wake up", said Alice.
When she said that I wanted to cry, but my body seemed to refuse to cry. This cannot be happening. I can't have Carrie be in a coma for the rest of her life. She's one of my best friends. She has to wake up, she just has to.
Carrie's POV
I opened my eyes and saw I was sitting on a subway wearing a white dress. It was a simple dress that had white long sleeves and went a little past my knees.
"Am I dead?" I said out loud.
"No you aren't sweetie", said a voice behind me.
I froze when I heard that voice. It sounded like… I turned around and froze when I saw my mom.
"I have to be dead", I muttered looking at the ground.
I heard her laugh.
"You aren't dead, you're in between the dead and the living", she said taking a seat next in front of me.
"Why are we on a subway?" I asked, trying to think of something else.
"Don't you remember? When you first went on a subway you were scared thinking it was a monster that was going to eat you", said my mom smiling.
"But then I loved being on the subway and didn't want to get off", I said smiling at the memory. I was six and we had to take a subway to get to a meeting my mom had to go to. It was before I knew she had cancer.
"Yes, you didn't want to get off so we kept going and going", said my mom.
"Yeah, but you ended up missing your meeting cause of me", I said.
"It was worth it seeing you so happy", she said.
We were quiet for a little bit.
"I miss you mom", I said, trying not to cry.
"I miss you too darling", she said.
"So tell me about how things have been. Oh tell me about Paul", she said.
"Wait how do you know about Paul", I said confused.
"I have my ways. Well come on. I want to hear about the guy who stole my daughter's heart", she said smiling.
"He's really sweet, even though he can lose his temper. He never loses it with me though, only the guys", I said.
"What else, how have things been with your brother? His name is Sam right", said my mom in a slight mocking tone at the end.
"Yeah his name is Sam. He and Emily are nice. They have really done a lot for me", I said.
"Well that's good. You need to tell them thank you for me", she said.
"I wish I could have done more for you, sweetie", she said quietly.
I looked at her in shock. How could she not think she did enough for me?
"Mom you've done enough for me. You taught me so many things, when you were raising me on your own and fighting your cancer. You don't have to say that. Trust me you helped me a lot even if you don't believe me", I said.
"So where is this subway going anyways?" I asked.
My mom smiled.
"I was wondering when you were going to ask that. Well it's going to keep going and then it's going to make a stop, just one stop. That's when you have to decide to get off or stay on and keep going with me. If you get off you can see your friends and Paul, but if you stay on with me you can never see them again. Do you understand Carrie", she said in a serious tone.
I wanted to see my friends and Paul, but I also wanted to stay and talk with my mom.
When the subway finally stops am I even going to want to get off?
Zoey's POV
It's been almost two months since Carrie was in surgery and she hasn't woken up. Carlisle was able to fix her lung. She can breathe out of it and she no longer needs a breathing tube. She just has a small plastic tube connected to her nose to help oxygen get to her lungs. School started about two weeks ago, so Seth, Collin and Brady can't stay in the hospital as long as everyone else. I tried to tell myself that Carrie would wake up before school started since she has never missed a day of school.
Everyone has been out of it, especially Paul. He refuses to leave the hospital. He won't even leave to eat. Jared sometimes has to make him leave so he can get some real food. Paul hasn't said a word since we first arrived to the hospital. He doesn't go on patrols anymore. I don't think he even sleeps. He must stay awake all the time in case Carrie wakes up. I really hope she does, cause if she doesn't I don't think Paul is going to be able to handle it.
Embry and I are on the way to the hospital to see Carrie and to check up on Paul. Embry has also been worried about me. He knows I think of Carrie as a little sister and that this is kind of hard for me. I mean Carrie's mom was like a second mom to me and when she died I was heartbroken too.
We got to the hospital and headed to Carrie's room. Paul was still in his chair next to Carrie's bed. Carlisle was in there too. I think he was just checking up on Carrie's vitals.
"Hey Carlisle, hey Paul", I said.
Carlisle nodded at me, but Paul ignored me and just kept looking at Carrie. Carrie seemed okay. She seemed like she was relaxed, but that could have just been me imagining it. Carlisle looked away from the machines and signaled for Embry and me to leave. We left the room with Carlisle following us. He seemed stressed.
"How's she doing", I asked.
"Her vitals are good but…" said Carlisle trailing off.
"But what", said Embry.
"I'm afraid if she doesn't wake up by the end of the week she isn't going to wake up at all", said Carlisle.
We heard a choking noise coming from Carrie's room. I looked into the room and saw Paul was shaking. He wasn't going to phase was he? Embry started to go into the room when he stopped. I soon realized why he had stopped. Paul wasn't shaking because he was mad; he was shaking because he was crying. For the first time ever I was actually watching Paul cry. Then it dawned on me. He had heard what Carlisle had told us. If Carrie didn't wake up it would most likely kill Paul. I looked at Carrie's sleeping form before walking to the hospital entrance.
Carrie, please wake up, please.
Paul's POV
After I heard what Carlisle said, I went numb. I ignored everyone who came in. I only kept my eyes on Carrie. Each day that went by was slow and painful because she never showed signs of waking up. I was slowly dying inside as the end of the week got closer.
If Carrie did not wake up by Sunday then she was never going to wake up. Sam and Emily didn't want to let her die, but they also didn't want to have her lie there like that for the rest of her life. If it was up to me I would keep her alive until she woke up, but it wasn't up to me. It was up to Sam since he was her legal guardian.
I looked at Carrie's face. She still showed no signs of waking up. Come on Carrie wake up, please wake up.
The day was finally here. It was Sunday and Carrie still wasn't up. Carlisle, Sam, Embry and Zoey were in Carrie's room with me. Zoey looked like she was going to cry, but honestly I didn't care. I was just trying to ignore the pain in my chest. I knew that Sam had to make his choice today.
"Sam can I talk with you for a minute", said Carlisle.
Sam nodded and followed him out with Embry and me coming out too. I wasn't really listening to what Carlisle was telling Sam. I was in my own little world when we all heard a loud slapping noise. We ran back into Carrie's room and saw Zoey standing right next to her looking mad. I looked at Carrie and saw a light red handprint on her face. I felt my temper rise. She slapped Carrie!
Embry went over to Zoey and started to pull her away from Carrie. Zoey struggled to make him let go.
"Damn it, wake up", she shouted tears going down her face.
Carrie didn't move or show any signs she heard Zoey.
"Carrie do you hear me?! Wake up", she said before breaking down into tears. Embry was finally able to get her out, but we could still hear her crying and Embry trying to calm her down.
"I'll leave you two alone then", said Carlisle before leaving the room.
"I'll be back in an hour, I want to talk things through with Emily", said Sam before leaving too.
That left just me in the room. I walked over to Carrie's bed and looked at her. I grabbed the railing and leaned over. I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I closed my eyes hoping they would stop forming, but it didn't work. I soon felt tears run down my face.
Why Carrie, why won't you wake up?
Carrie's POV
It was fun talking with my mom again. She mainly made me talk about myself. I looked out the window of the train and saw that is was close to a station. This was the first time it ever looked like that outside. As we got closer I could hear someone crying. I think it was a guy.
"Do you hear that?" I asked.
My mom nodded.
"We are getting closer to your stop. You are the only one who can decided if you want to get off or not", said my mom.
"What happens if I don't get off?" I asked.
My mom smiled at me sadly.
"We'll just keep going on the subway", she said.
"Is it going to stop after this", I said.
"No, this is the first and last stop it's going to make", she said.
I looked out the window. Did I want to get off?
"Is it okay if I stay on?" I asked.
"Do you really want to? Do you really want to leave Paul, your friends and the new family you found?" said my mom.
"Well they may understand", I said.
"Honey you'll be able to see me again later, but you only have this chance to see Paul and the others", she said.
"But-".
I was cut off by the screeching brakes as the subway came to a stop. The doors opened slowly. I stood up and I looked outside. I was shocked with what I saw in front of me.
Paul was standing over me, but I was in a hospital bed, with wires attached to my arms and a tube near my nose. What surprised me the most was that Paul was crying. I could hear Paul saying something.
"Carrie, please wake up", he said in between sobs.
It pained me seeing him like that. I felt my mom put her hand on my shoulder.
"Carrie, he needs you right now. Go on, we'll see each other later", said my mom.
I stood there not knowing what to do. I then heard the sound right before the doors closed. I looked at my mom and then at Paul. The doors started to close. I quickly jumped out of the subway. I turned around and saw my mom smiling at me. The train then started to move and I watched my mom and the train disappear.
I walked over to where Paul was and stood next to him. I then looked at me on the bed. I smiled to myself, happy that I made the right choice. I touched the hand of me that was on the bed and then I was blinded by a white light.
I opened my eyes and saw Paul was leaning over me with his eyes closed. Tears were running down his face. I smiled to myself and raised my hand to touch his face. Paul froze when my hand touched his face. His eyes shot open and he looked at me.
"Hey", I said quietly.
Paul just stood there not moving. He then started kissing my face. After he kissed my forehead he rested his forehead against mine.
"I'm so happy you're up", he said happiness evident in his voice.
"How long have I been out", I said curious.
"Almost two months, Carlisle said if you didn't wake up by today, you weren't going to wake up at all", said Paul.
I then took in Paul's appearance. He had bags under his eyes as if he hadn't slept in a long time. Honestly he looked like crap.
"How long have you been here?" I asked.
"Since you got here", said Paul.
"Why?" I asked.
"I wanted to be there when you woke up. I was really worried about you and when you called Zoey, I just…" Paul trailed off unable to finish.
"I'm sorry", I said.
I didn't want to hurt him, but I couldn't let them die.
"I understand why you did it I just wish you told me what was going on", said Paul.
"If I had told you, you wouldn't have let me leave your sight", I said.
"You're damn right", said Paul.
We both heard someone take in a sharp breath. Paul turned around and I saw Zoey standing in the doorway. Her mouth was wide open and she looked like she was struggling for words.
"CARRIE!" she shouted running to the other side of my bed. Carlisle and Embry soon followed in. They probably heard Zoey's outburst, but then again who wouldn't.
"We were so worried about you. Carlisle said if you didn't wake up by today you weren't going to wake up at all", said Zoey. She then started jumping up and down.
"We can finally start planning Kim's wedding", she squealed.
"Wait, what?" I said. When was Kim engaged?
"Jared proposed to her while you were in a coma. She was waiting for you to wake up because she wants you to be her maid of honor. Oh I should go call the others", said Zoey before leaving the room.
She seemed really excited.
POV
Zoey's
Oh I'm so happy Carrie woke up. I can't wait to tell the others. I left Carrie's room and headed to the lobby. I pulled out my cell and called Kim's number.
"Hello", she said in a depressed tone.
"Hey Kim!" I said excited.
"Why do you sound so happy?" she asked.
"Hey are you at Sam's place?" I asked completely ignoring her question.
"Yeah, we're all at Sam's", she said.
"Great now we can start planning your wedding", I said.
"Are you serious? You're thinking about planning my wedding now?" said Kim sounding a bit angry.
"Yep", I said.
"Why?" said Kim still sounding annoyed.
"Because I'm sure Carrie wants to help plan", I said.
"Z, she's not going to be able to help unless…" Kim trailed off probably getting why I called.
"You mean she's…" said Kim not finishing her sentence.
"Yep, no you and the others get your asses here now", I said. I heard Kim shout that Carrie was up before hanging up. I smiled to myself before walking back to Carrie's room.
I had a feeling things were going to be better for now on.
So how did you like it? Well it's not the end, but i am wondering if you guys want to me to write about Kim's wedding or should i just skip it. Well i won't start writing the next part until i know so please review and tell me if you want me to or not. Well bye and don't forget to review.
