A.N: ...I don't really have anything to say...except, review...that's about it...okay go on, read.
I could tell as he wrapped the bandage around he was trying to be as gentle as he could. That didn't stop the pain that shot though my body every time he even came near the wound.
"You should have left this on." Jeremy told me.
"I know. I just wanted to see what it looked like."
"Did you like what you saw?" He asked in a teasing tone.
"No, but I do now." I had the same tone he did.
He stopped wrapping for a moment and reached up and gave me a kiss.
What if this was the last time I kissed him?
I could die at any time. Thinking of dieing made me remember about my Carley idea. I waited until the kiss was over and he was back to putting the bandage back on before I said anything about Carley.
"I was thinking...I might know of a way to keep myself from dieing."
Jeremy's head shot up. "What?"
"Well you see my friend Carley, she can heal. Human, vampire and even plants. I was thinking if she could heal them, why not shape-shifters too."
Jeremy seemed to think this over. "Carley's the one who was watching Jillian back when I first found you right?"
I nodded. A smile came to his face. I smiled too happy to see him smile.
"Here think you can take over?" He asked.
The bandage was almost all the way back in place.
I nodded. "I'm going to go talk to Alice, she was the one that meet Carley. I'll be right back."
I nodded again. Right before he left Jeremy kissed me again. He seemed so happy all of a sudden. I hope this works. I can't bare the thought of how sad Jeremy would be if I did die. It wasn't fair to him or to the kids.
Why should there lives be messed with just because I got in to a horrible relationship with a total word I don't say?
KPOV (Karen's point of view)
She was dieing. My mother was dieing. I wanted to do something. Anything. But there was nothing I could do. There was nothing anyone could do. We were just suppose to stand by and let her die.
"Karen, you alright?" Seth's loving voice asked.
His warm strong hand touched my shoulder. "I'm just thinking about Mom."
"I know how hard this is for you but you have to keep thinking about positive things. All the good times you've shared with your mother. And you don't know for sure she's going to die." He was trying to be helpful but it wasn't working much.
What good times had I shared with my mother? I couldn't remember any. All I could remember was Adrian. How he always got in the way of our fun times. How many times he's beat on Mom and me. He was the reason she was dieing, this was his fault. I hated him. I hated him with all my heart and soul. Jillian, David and I could have grown up with our father if it hadn't been for him.
I turned and put my arms around my warm werewolf. He put his arms around me to, and held me close to his chest. I was safe with Seth. I knew that. For once in my life I felt safe with someone, I felt better with Seth then I did my own father. He was more then some werewolf that imprinted on me, he was my love. Love. Mom and Dad were in love. Mom use to deny it, and tell us she didn't love Jeremy anymore. We all knew she was lying, even Adrian knew that. How would Dad react if she did die? Would he kill him self afterwards? I had heard the story about Edward and Bella. How Edward had left her to protect her. The when he thought she was dead he was going to get the Volturi to kill him. Bella happened to show up at the right time to stop Edward. Everyone in the family had someone. Emmett had Rose, Jasper had Alice, Esme had Carlisle, I had Seth and Mom had Dad. Each one of them couldn't live with out the other. They were each others life's. We all knew if one in the couple was dead then the other would follow soon after. I couldn't let Mom die. If she died then Dad would to. I couldn't lose two parents in such a short amount of time. I had no idea how I was going to do it but I had to stop Mom from dieing.
JPOV (Jeremy's point of view)
Why wasn't Alice around when I needed her?
"You guys seen Alice?" I asked walking out on the the porch were Karen and Seth were standing, holding each other.
"I think she's in the garage with Rose. Their working on cars or something." Seth reported.
"No Rose is working on the cars, Alice is talking Rose to the point of insanity." Karen corrected him.
They made a cute couple.
"Thanks." I said heading to the garage.
"Hey Alice, you remember Carley?" I asked interrupting her mid-sentence.
I glanced at Rose who was working on Emmett's Jeep, she looked happy I had come along. To get Alice to leave her alone so she could work in peace I took it.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Melissa thinks she can help heal her. Apparently she has the power to heal, I don't know. That's beside the point. Did Carley ever give you a phone number or something?" Alice thought for a moment.
"No...but your kids might now something." Great, the more time I spent hunting down my children the closer to death my angel got to death. I went back to Karen but she didn't know much of where Carley was now.
"She liked to travel. Carley was always going somewhere new." Karen told me. "There's no clue where she's gone with out Mom around. Carley stayed close just in case we needed her but now she's probably...who knows where."
I asked Jillian and David but they gave me around the same answers, they didn't know where she was. Jillian had a number for me though. When I called it and a guy picked up.
"Is Carley around?"
"No. What do you need her for?" The guy asked.
"Melissa needs her."
"Wait, you know Melissa? Carley's been looking everywhere for her."
I told him who I was and discovered his name was Jim, Carley's boyfriend. I got Jim some information on what was going on and then told him where we lived.
"I'll be sure to tell Carley." Jim told me.
I hoped he could get the message to her in time. Before...my angels life was over.
I tried not to think about how life would be with out Melissa. Besides her the kids were the only thing I had left. David and Karen had already imprinted. They had loves to worry about. And before long they'd be living with them and having kids of their own, if it was possible for a hybrid and a werewolf to have children. Jillian would find someone for her self too. Then I'd have no one. The Cullen's were like a second family but nothing compared to my first hand family. Melissa, Karen, David and Jillian were my life, what would I do with out them? I had no idea.
LATER THAT NIGHT (Still JPOV)
"Don't leave me." Melissa whispered.
I had never seen her so pale, or cold. It was as if she were a vampire. I knew that wasn't the reason she was like this though. My angel was dieing. Right before my eyes.
"I won't. I'll stay right here." I said crawling in the bed with her, careful not to come in contact with her wound.
She looked at me with tired eyes. They held love, pain, care, and sadness in them, I could only image what she was going though. I had the horrifying feeling this was it. Melissa wasn't going to make it though the night. She had looked healthier earlier today but all that strength was gone. All her fight was gone, she had nothing left in her to use to fight with. How she was alive at this second, I had the slightest clue. I knew I should go get the children, let them say their good-byes but she wanted me here. I couldn't leave her, not when she wanted me here with her.
My non-beating heart ached for her. I would gladly take her place if it meant my angel got to live on. But I couldn't, no matter how much I wanted to. I took her hand in mine, she gave it a little squeeze but couldn't do anymore. I watched holding back sobs as her eyes closed. Melissa was stiff and still for so long I thought she was already dead.
"I love you." She finally whispered, almost to faint for me to hear.
"I love you with all my heart and soul." I told her, kissing her lightly on the cheek.
A small weak smile came to her face. "Your heart doesn't beat...and soon, mine want either."
Oh why did she have to say that? Sobs were growing very hard to hold back.
"Do something for me."
"Anything in the world."
"Take care of the kids, tell them I love them and always will." She paused, she got this look on her face like talking was hard. Then she went on. "Don't follow me in death. Think of the children." Another pause. One single tear escaped her closed eyes. I brushed it away as she talked. "I want you to move on. If you find someone you love, when I'm gone. I want you to move on."
I would never do that. Who else could I love more then her?
"Okay, I will." I lied, I hated lying to her when she was on the edge of dieing but I didn't want her upset before death either.
The smile, the small weak one, came back for only a moment.
"I love you." She breathed.
Before I could respond, her body went limp.
Melissa stopped breathing, her heart stopped beating.
My angel was gone.
