Chapter 34
Emma's POV
"Emma, you need to take off your wet clothes, they're just making you colder." Jake said as he pulled on his pants. I pulled off my big jacket and all of my layers, just left in my bra and underwear. Jake gave me some of his clothes that he kept in his truck, they smelled so good. I was still so cold, and I was still shaking. We both got into the truck and started the long drive up to Sam and Emily's house.
"Emily can help," was all he said. I looked out the window, till shaking. My body was very tired, so I decided to take a nap. Sleeping a little wouldn't hurt/
Jake's POV
I was driving to Sam and Emily's house as fast as I could. I didn't see, but Emma had fallen asleep next to me. She was shaking, not good; hypothermia. I drove even fast, and pulled her close to me, trying to keep her warm.
"Emma, wake up." I said when we got to Sam and Emily's house. She didn't move.
"Emma. Wake up. Emma." I shook her lightly, but she wouldn't wake up. I picked her up and carried her to the door. I opened the door.
"Emily?" I called.
"Jake? What's the matter?" She said.
"The bloodsucker, she fall off the cliff, she woke up and she was really cold. She fell asleep in the car. Hypothermia." was all I could say. Emily took me by the arm.
"Bring her in the extra bedroom." She said, "then bring me the extra blankets from the hall closet, and get a warm rag. I'll call a doctor."
"Get Carlisle. He's the only one I trust. He'll understand." I told her.
"But Jake, he's not allowed on the reservation." She said.
"Emily, please." I said. Begging her.
"You talk to Sam." She said.
I went to go find Sam. He was about to go off for patrol.
"Sam!" I called after him. He turned around.
"Jake, what ever it is it'll have to wait. I have to go on patrol." He said, but the he saw the worry and fear in my eyes.
"Jake, what's the matter?" he said, sounding worried.
"Emma's inside. She's unconscious. She needs help." I said.
"Well have Emily call a doctor." He said as though it was pretty obvious.
"The only doctor I trust is Carlisle. He's the only one who would understand. But they're not aloud on the reservation." I said. "Please Sam. You have to understand. I want what's best for her." I looked at him, my eyes were getting teary.
"I need to check with the elders. I think it'll be harder for me to convince them it was for you to convince me," he said.
"Thanks Sam." I said and ran back inside. I went to see Emma. Emily was changing Emma's clothes, she had no shirt on.
"Jake, get out." Emily said. I waited outside until she told me to come in. She was tucking her into the bed. I sat there holding her hand, for what seemed like hours. Sam walked in.
"Carlisle is coming. The elders approved." He said.
Carlisle came very quickly. He brought Bella with him, and made us wait outside while he looked at Emma. We seemed to be waiting for hours before he finally came out.
"She has a very bad fever, and she's very weak. There's not much I can do. We'll just have to wait it out. I'll be back tomorrow, but call me if anything happens. Bella, can you call Charlie and tell him something? Thanks. I'll see you later." Carlisle said and then left.
Three days came and went and there were no signs of any change in Emma's health. She still had a bad fever and she hadn't woken up. Carlisle came by like he had before. He came out looking very sorry.
"Jake, I'm sorry to say this but Emma is very, very weak. If her fever doesn't break tonight, I don't think she'll make it to tomorrow." He said, and I broke down right then and there. I had hurt her so much, but I loved her so much more. I had never loved anyone so much and now I was going to loose her.
I went into Emma's room. She looked like she was dead already. Her face was extremely pale, and her skin was cold even though she had so many layers on and she was sweating. I held her hand, and even though I never ever sang, I sang to her,
"Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark"
And I fell asleep beside her, tears running down my face.
