Sometimes love isn't enough...

Izzy

I was pissed. It had been two hours and he still wasn't back, no one would tell me what was going on. They thought that Embry was the one that needed to tell me.

"Izzy are you okay?" Kiara asked putting her hand on my shoulder.

"no i'm not fucking okay! I want to get out of here, and I want to talk to Embry."

"Izzy-" she was interrupted by my cell phone ringing.

"hello?"

"Izzy! Where are you? You need to get home now!" mom was frantic. Something bad had happened.

"mom what's going on? What happened?"

"its Ellie she needs you."

"on my way now, ill be there soon." I grabbed the keys to Embry's car. I could hear the others shouting at me but I had to go find out what was wrong with my sister. I drove home as fast as I could.

"MOM! MOM WHERE ARE YOU?"

"i'm here we're going to the hospital come on."

"mom what happened?"

"Ellie she was in a car accident, we need to get there now." I ran with her out the door and into the car. She was speeding off before I could close my door.

"i'm looking for Ellie Daniels'."

"Ellen Daniels'?"

"yes."

"relationship?"

"mother and sister."

"room 59, second floor." We took off running again. when we got into the room I froze. My sister, my gorgeous big sis, was lying in the bed with gashes all over her face. I sat next to her bed and took her hand. She looked so helpless.

"Dr Cullen?"

"hello Izzy, good to see you again."

"um… if you say so."

"oh i'm sorry, I wish it was under different circumstances."

"so what's going on with my sister?"

"we have had to put her in a medically induced coma."

"what? Why?"

"she has extensive injuries, and for them to heal properly she mustn't move. It will also help them heal quicker."

"oh god." I sat back down on my seat. "tell me she is going to be okay."

"were doing everything we can."

Embry

"Izzy, where are you?"

"Embry! Oh thank god! Is everyone okay?" Kim ran over and gave me a hug. Eily was standing behind her looking guilty.

"yeah everyone's fine. Where's Izzy?"

"um… she left."

"what the fuck do you mean 'she left'?"

"she left, we tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to us. Oh and she took your car." I grabbed the phone and was about to ring her when Emily held Izzy's phone out for me.

"there's no use, she left it here when she ran out."

"I've got to go find her."

"she was talking to her mom on the phone before she left." I phased and ran to her house. My car was parked outside. I phased back to human threw my shorts on and ran through the open front door.

"Izzy! Izzy?" no answer damn. I called Sam.

"Sam, has anyone picked up Izzy's scent?"

"no sorry, we don't know where she is."

"help me find her!"

"we're trying. Ill call the Cullen's and see if they have picked anything up." How could I have lost her. if one of those filthy bloodsuckers has her; I don't know what I'll do to them, but it sure as hell wont be pretty.

"Embry."

"Bella?"

"yeah, listen I know where Izzy is."

"holy shit where is she?"

"she's at the hospital, Alice saw her in Carlisle's future. Now its disappeared, great."

"thanks Bella. Tell shortie thank you."

"will do." I ran to the hospital as soon as I had hung up.

"daniels'?"

"room 59 second floor." The receptionist was staring at me with wide eyes, but that might be because I was only wearing shorts. I ran up the stairs and flew into the room. I was relieved when I saw Izzy sleeping in the chair by the window, not lying in the bed.

"Izzy?" I shook her awake gently and pulled her into a hug. She was crying so hard.

"what happened honey?"

"its Ellie, she's in a coma."

"i'm so sorry, is she going to be alright?"

"I don't know dr Cullen didn't tell me."

Izzy

I was much happier with Embry here. He always made me feel better. I knew I had scared him by running away, but I needed to be with my sister.

"Izzy?'

"yeah?"

"are you okay? Do you want to get out of here?"

"i'm fine. I want to leave, but I don't want to go home." he nodded and pulled me to my feet. He wrapped one of his arms around my waist and handed me my phone. I shoved it my pocket and didn't say anything. We jumped in his car and ended up at his place. This would be the first time I turned up here sober. Although at this very moment in time I wish I was as drunk as fuck, but you can't have everything you wish for can you. i sat own on the couch and wrapped my arms around my knees.

"I'll be back in a sec babe, I just have to call Sam." I heard him talking to Jared apparently Sam wasn't there. He was telling me where he had found me and why. I tried to block out the convocation, I didn't want to think about my poor sister. I started to sob' I didn't know what I would do if she… died. We had gotten really close just of late.

"its going to be all right babe. Your sister is going to be fine." I cried more. i should be there, with her, with my family but I couldn't stand being away from Embry. I needed him.

"its all going to be alright. Please stop crying. Please."

"I cant stop crying, she's my fucking sister and she's in a coma. What happens if she dies?"

"she's not going to die. But ill ask Alice to check for you."

"Alice? The chick from the woods?"

"yeah that's the one."

"how will she know what's going on with my sister?"

"shit! uh… I was going to tell you but maybe now isn't the right time." I laid my head down against his chest and closed my eyes. He hugged me tightly.

"I love you." he whispered in my ear.

"I love you too." I mumbled just before the darkness overtook me and I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up in a dark room with Embry snoring softly next to me. He looked very peaceful. I climbed out of the bed as quietly as I could so that I could go get something to eat. I glanced at the clock on the oven and saw that it was 1:45am. Great. I had just finished making myself a sandwich when Jacob walked in.

"hey, you got one of those for me?"

"sure you have this one I'll make another."

"are you sure?"

"yeah go ahead. I am in you're house after all."

"you have a point. So where did you disappear off to yesterday that had everyone worried about you?"

"I had to go to the hospital."

"oh what happened?"

"my sister, Ellie, was in a car accident. She's pretty beat up. They had to put her in a medically induced coma."

"oh my god. Is she going to be okay?"

"I hope so, I cant lose her." my voice broke and he took the knife I was using to cut my sandwich out of my hand and put it down on the counter. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths and clutched at the edge of the counter. I was trying to hold in my tears. Too many people here had seen me cry. A few months ago, nobody would see me cry, I wouldn't let them. I'd hide all my emotions and put on a mask. After a while I got used to it. the day I was rejected by Embry was the day my mask fell off. I could feel it, I was free. There was nothing holding me down anymore. I don't know why but when I was here I felt like I could… be myself. Truly be myself.

"are you okay?" Jacob's voice snapped me out of my subconscious discovery.

"yeah i'm fine, just worried about my sister. I think I need to sit down." He grabbed me by my elbow and helped me to the table. I sat down and swayed a little. I felt faint.

"Izzy?" I heard Embry call softly.

"she in here Em." He came in saw me and his face fell slightly.

"what happened is she okay?"

"I dunno I think she's fine. She was making a sandwich and she started swaying." Oh so I was swaying before he took the knife out of my hand.

"babe? What's wrong?"

"nothing i'm fine, just feel like i'm going to pass out is all."

Jake put the sandwich in front of me. I hadn't eaten since yesterday morning so almost 24 hours. I ate it quickly and felt a little better. I tried to stand up but my chest hurt and I couldn't breath. I started hyperventilating.

"Izzy, oh my god Izzy are you alright?"

"cant-breath." I managed to choke out. I fell to the ground clutching at my chest.

"shit! what the fuck do I do? Jake call Cullen now!" Jacob ran over to the phone and started dialing.

"guys what's go- holy shit is she okay." I looked up to see Seth staring at me with wide eyes.

"I don't know Seth! What do I do?"

"what are her symptoms Em?"

"shit, I dunno, Izzy what's wrong you need to tell me what's wrong."

"cant-breath-chest-hurts- eyes watering- feel like- i'm going to-pass out." I gasped, Jacob passed on the information and stayed silent for a while. He hung up.

"I got to go talk to Sam, he's patrolling and the doc is coming here. I had no idea what he was saying but it didn't make sense.

"babe, stay with me okay, you're going to be all right. Look at me." he pulled me so that I was leaning against him. He pulled my hair out of my eyes and rubbed soothing circles on my back. "dr Cullen's here, he's going to take a look at you." I nodded lightly and flinched when I felt ice cold hands grab my wrists gently. They pulled me up and I saw dr Cullen sitting there with his eyes closed.

"she's hyperventilating."

"no shit doc! What do we do."

"her heart rates a little fast other than that there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Lie her down in the recovery position." They did this and I couldn't help but think of my sister lying in the hospital bed. What if she woke up and I was dead? There was another stabbing pain in my heart and I cried out in pain.

"what is it, what's happening to her?" Embry was sounding extremely worried.

"she was thinking about her sister." There was someone else here, I didn't recognize their voice though. "i'm Edward Cullen, Carlisle's son."

"what? What's she thinking about?"

"her family, you … death."

"baby no! don't think like that stay with me." I closed my eyes and his voice faded slightly. I felt someone covering my mouth. I screamed.

"Isabelle, calm down. Your getting too much oxygen. If you don't stop hyperventilating you will die." Die? Die? What the fuck! I cant die, I cant leave him. I cant leave him alone, I love him.

"she loves you Embry."

Everything went black.
