Chapter 35:

It All Started With An Accident

We arrived at about 7:15 in London. We grabbed a quick bagel and headed to pick up out bags. Once we had them, Jake went over to the hotel next to the hotel and paid for our car. We loaded up our stuff and headed out.

"It's nice, you know, to be home. Even though it was amazing, it's nice to be back" I said as I leaned back into the chair, closing my eyes . . .

"Ness . . . Ness! We're here" Jake said as he shook me awake.

"What!" I opened my eyes to see Lion Pride in front of me. "Oh, I must've fallen asleep" I said as I shook my head.

"Come on, we're just on time" he said as he grabbed his bag and mine. "Here, let's hope we didn't miss much" he said as he handed me my bag. "Oh, umm . . . what do you want to do about the ring?" He asked.

"Oh!" I said, stopping. "Well, I don't want to take it off but I don't want to explain . . . "

"Here" he said as he handed me the box. "You can store it here for now" he said as I very carefully placed it in the box and then slipped the box in my bag. "I love you" he whispered as he kissed me.

"I love you" I whispered as we continued walking.

"Is that . . . NESSIE!" Lily yelled as she ran towards me.

"Hey Lily" I said as she hugged me.

All our friends came running up too.

"Where were you?" They asked.

"Oh, family matters . . . in Australia" I added with a smile.

"AW! You got to go to Australia? Lucky! Did you eat kangaroo? Did it taste like—"

"Ew . . . no Mike, I did not eat kangaroo and I don't even want to her the rest of your sentence" I said in disgust.

"Oh, you missed everything!" they said and I rolled my eyes.

They were about to explained when the bell rang.

"Lunch" we all said as we ran off.

The first part of the day flew by and before I knew it, I was sitting with Jake and my friends at lunch.

"So what's with the new sub in Government?" I asked as I took a bite of my chicken parmesan.

"Oh, that story is funny. So you see, Mr. Pay was let out a couple days after you left. His psychologist approved him to be sane so he came back but he was still crazy. I mean, he kept seeing your ghost.

He said you weren't there but you were haunting him spiritually. Every time he turned a corner, he would do it stealthily and he even put video recorders around the room. Well one day, the principal went to cooking class and there was a flour accident so he was covered in flour when he visited our room to check on Mr. Pay.

He of course, completely lost it saying the ghosts where after him. The principal was so confused . . . that is . . . until Mr. Pay began whacking him with an iron stick and shooting him with salt.

Then, the principal got angry. They had to call the psychiatric hospital and had him transported out. They investigated his physiatrist and it turns out . . . it was his brother and he saw genies" Dorothy explained, laughing. "It was very epic"

"Wow" I said as I laughed. "Hey, how did you guys do on finals?" I asked.

"Eh . . . okay. Not amazing but I passed" Josh said and I rolled my eyes.

"Sucks for you Nessie though, because you have to do make-ups" Chris said.

"Nope" I said with a smile.

"Wait . . . what? Didn't she just say nope?" Jack asked.

"Yep" I said with a smile. "Since I kept up my grades while I was away, faxing in homework and all, they let it slide" I said with a smile.

"Oh! Lucky!1 I have to try that one time, just stay home and fax in homework and then . . . no finals!" Dorothy said and I rolled my eyes.

"Knowing you, you would probably just stay home and not do anything and then come back to a ton of work" I said and everybody laughed.

The rest of the day went quickly, seeing as I was nervous about going home. I don't even know what happened in Biology and it felt like I had just put on my gym clothes when I was taking them off.

"Ness . . . Ness? You okay?" Jake asked.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, fine" I said distractedly.

"Ness" he said as he grabbed my wrist, turning me towards him. "What wrong honey?" he asked, his deep eyes looking into mine.

"It's nothing . . . just . . . what if they . . . maybe they don't . . . maybe they won't . . . " I said, my voice rising.

"Come here" he said as he wrapped his arms around me, calming my panic attack. "It'll be fine. We know we're probably in trouble but they won't kick us out. You know they won't. Besides, when we explain, they'll probably understand . . . to an extent, but still . . . and, they'll forgive us. It may take a while but they will. Just relax" he told me as he held me tighter.

"Thank you" I murmured into his chest.

"Anytime" he said, kissing me. "We should get going" he murmured and I nodded, slipping into the passenger side.

The drive was silent, though, we were both anxious to break the loud silence. We parked at little far from the house, just . . . safety I guess. We took all of our bags out of the car and climbed up to the balcony's area, slipping in through the double doors. I put all my stuff back away at lightning speed, putting the empty suitcase back under my bed. I opened up my laptop and stared at all the pictures of Jake and I.

"Hey, you ready?" He asked coming into the room, behind me.

He looked at the pictures and sighed.

"How are we going to . . . you know" I asked him softly as I watched the slide show go past.

"Well, I was going to ask you . . . do you want a more casual approach, like walk around like normal until we see them or . . . go straight to them?" he asked.

"I think we should just go straight . . . you know, more . . . professional?" I ended and then laughed softly at my choice of words.

"Okay then, you ready?" he asked, a bit of nervousness in his eyes.

I smiled softly and nodded as I took his hand. It was weird the way the world worked. A couple weeks ago, everything was fine . . . well, normal. Now . . . I was nearly sweating of the thought of looking at my family. We walked slowly out of my room towards Carlisle's office. When we were close, I heard him talking on the phone.

"Well Edward, maybe all she needed was a little space" I heard Carlisle saying.

"I understand that Carlisle but going all the way to AUSTRALIA!"

"Where are you now son?" He asked.

"We just arrived a little bit ago at London Heathrow Airport from the airport in Paris. We decided to head back and track them again with the resources we have here"

"Edward, she'll come back, just give her time" Carlisle said.

"She could be pregnant Carlisle! Do remember how it was with Bella. If we hadn't helped her . . . she might've not . . . we have to find her, I'll be home soon" Edward said with conviction.

'They still think I'm pregnant?' I showed Jake and he shrugged.

"We'll be waiting for you" Carlisle said as he hung up. "Oh Nessie, where are you?" he murmured.

I looked up at Jake, my eyes showing my panic.

'Relax' he mouthed and I nodded taking a deep breath and placing my hand on the door knob. Jake placed his hand on top of mine and slowly turned the knob. I took another deep breath as the door opened.

"Carlisle?" I murmured softly.

He looked up immediately and his eyes widened.

"Nessie?" he said and in seconds, I was in his arms.

"I'm sorry" I mumbled into his chest, tears forming in my eyes.

"Oh honey, I'm so happy you're okay, and safe" he said as he hugged me tighter.

"And not pregnant?" I added softly and his eyes immediately flicked to Jake's.

"Dr. Cullen" he said formally, knowing he was already in trouble and trying to suck up.

"It's Carlisle" Carlisle said with a small smile as he shook Jake's hand. "Esme!" he called and in seconds, Esme flittered in.

"Hi grandma" I said, tears flowing down my cheeks.

"Oh Nessie" she said as she pulled me into her arms.

"I'm so sorry" I said between my tears. "I just had to get away for a while"

"It's okay, well, not really but, oh, I'm so glad you're safe" she cried as sobs wracked her body.

"What happened . . . I mean, why so suddenly . . . " Carlisle trailed off, motioning to the couches in his office.

I sat on Jake's lap, his arms wrapped around me, wiping away my tears. Carlisle and Esme took a seat of the love chair.

"Well . . . it all started with an accident" I murmured.
