Hey guys! So this may or not be the very last chapter of the story. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do yet. I really hope you liked this chapter, and I hoped you liked the closure that she got.
I wouldn't change a thing chapter 22
Bailey's POV
I stared at Embry in shock not registering what he was saying. Jacob got hurt? How? I looked behind me and could imagine that Edward was listening in, not like he wanted to of course.
"Embry how did it happen? What exactly happened?" Embry grabbed my good wrist and he started to pull me towards his truck.
"I'll explain it on the way okay?" I nodded and then I stopped walking. Embry turned around and looked at me for a minute.
"I have to tell Charlie what happened." Embry nodded and I ran back into the house and into the kitchen. All eyes were on me, as I was breathing irregularly and I looked panicked.
"Jacob got hurt. I'm going over to his house to see if he's okay." I saw Charlie and Bella's eyes widen, and Edward looked worried too. Even if it was just a little.
"I don't know what happened or when I'll be back." Charlie nodded and I smiled slightly then turned around and went to leave, when I looked at Bella.
"I'll let you know what happened." Bella nodded and I ran out the door to Embry's truck. I got in buckled up, and looked at Embry nervously.
"What happened Embry?" He looked at me, and he started his truck and started to drive away from the house. He waited a bit before he actually started to tell me.
"A newborn vampire got away, during the fight. It left the are and then it came back. Jacob, Leah, and Seth were on patrol. It tried going after Seth so Jacob tried to stop it. It got it's arms around him, and it squeezed. It broke his ribs." My eyes widened and I started to breathe heavily. I felt like I was about to pass out.
"Carlisle has to re-break the bones before they heal wrong." I looked at Embry before gripping the seat. I closed my eyes and tried not to think about this. I had just hoped that this was all a dream. It had to be a dream. It just had to be.
"We're here." My eyes snapped open and I wiped away some tears that didn't quite fall yet. I got out of the truck and I saw the whole pack there. I tried to pull my sweater closer to me but it wasn't working.
"I can't do this Embry. I can't be here. I'm gonna be sick." I heard Jacob yell in pain and I covered my mouth with my hand and clenched my eyes shut.
"I can't...I can't do this..." I mumbled to myself before Embry walked past me over to the pack. I stood there frozen not really moving.
"Are you going to be okay Bailey?" I looked at Jared and shook my head. I was not going to be okay. I heard Jacob scream again and I felt sick to my stomach. When was this going to be over? I sniffled and wiped away some tears and took a deep breath.
I finally saw Carlisle walk out of the house and he said something to Billy and then he walked over to me. I tried forcing a smile but it came out as a grimace.
"Jacob wants to see you." I bit my lip and I nodded before walking into the house and into his room. When I got there, I saw him all bandaged up and in pain. I bit my lip so hard that I thought I might have made it bleed. I took a couple more steps into his room and tried not to cry.
"Jacob?" He turned to look at me and he smiled as best as he could. I smiled forcefully and kneeled by his bed.
"I was so worried I didn't know what happened and..." I looked at him and bit my lip. I couldn't even finish my sentence without crying.
"Hey I'll be better soon. Werewolves heal fast. Don't cry, please don't' cry." I scoffed and wiped away some tears before turning away.
"I can't not cry. You're hurt." Jacob looked at me and then he smiled a little.
"I told you I'll be better in no time." I looked at him and then I rolled my eyes.
"Bailey?" I looked back at Jake and sniffled and wiped some tears away.
"I'm glad that you're safe. I'm glad that you didn't get bitten." I nodded and then I turned around and sat on the floor beside Jake's bed.
"It's kind of funny because when me and Riley broke up I said that I wished that he'd jump off a bridge, and drown. Then he ended up getting bitten ON a bridge." Jake rolled his eyes and I turned to look at him. I gave him a tiny shove and crossed my arms over my chest. As best as I could with a broken wrist.
"I think it's kind of funny." Jake chuckled a bit and then I smiled slightly. I turned my head to look at him and then I smiled a little more.
"You're really going to be okay aren't you?" Jake nodded and I smiled. Then I stood up and stretched.
"I don't want to leave but I think that there's a lot of people out there that want to see you too. I'll talk to you tomorrow or something?" Jake nodded and I smiled and then I looked at him for a minute before smiling. I bent down to his level and I gave him a gently kiss, trying not to hurt him.
"Bye for now Jake."
By the time that I actually got home, it was around 2 in the morning. Charlie was still waiting up, and I tried to apologise, but he said that it was okay. He just told me to go to bed, and that he hoped that Jake would be okay. I nodded and I walked upstairs to my room. I grabbed some PJ's and I quickly changed, threw them on and crawled into my bed.
I laid there for quite a while though, not really being able to sleep, I was just thinking about what had happened in my life in the last little while. But finally after what seemed like forever, I fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt nervous and anxious. I didn't know why, I just did. I tried thinking of something that would make me anxious and nervous but nothing came to mind.
I sighed, got out of bed, changed out of my PJ bottoms and tank top, and quickly threw on a baggy shirt and some shorts. I pulled my hair into a quick bun and walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen expecting Charlie or Bella to be there, but neither one was.
I walked over to the table where there was a note sitting there. I picked it up and rolled my eyes when I read what Bella wrote.
'Went to Edward's house. Don't wait up! ' I then looked down and saw that Charlie had wrote something too.
'Went over to Billy's house.' I sighed and crumpled up the note and threw it in the garbage. I was going to be home alone all day, with nothing to do.
I walked into the living room and flopped on the couch. I quickly grabbed the remote and turned on the TV looking for something, anything to watch. But sadly, there was nothing that interested me. I groaned and turned off the TV, then I sat there trying to think of something to do.
"Why is there nothing to do?" I yelled in frustrating while crossing my arms over my chest. I heard the doorbell ring and I got up quickly, hoping that it would be someone that I could talk to.
However, once I got to the door and opened it, I found a package waiting for me.
"Sign here and here." I nodded and I quickly signed, then I got the package and walked into the house. I sat down on the couch in the living room and opened the box. Once I opened the box, I found a letter and a wrapped package in the box. I grabbed the letter and leaned back against the couch and started to read the letter.
Dear Bailey,
I wanted to tell you that I am sorry for everything that happened during your visit here. I was wrong for not telling you and for not inviting you to the wedding. But I also have some good news.
Your cousin Daniel is getting married and he wants you to come to the wedding. I know that you and Daniel are close, so you'll say yes. He even said that it would be okay if you brought a guest, I was thinking a nice boy that you may have met.
I have a dress picked out for you that is YOUR style not what I want your style to be, some shoes and some other little things. I hope you like it. Please call me soon. I know that I was out of line, but I do miss my daughter.
Love,
Mom
I looked in the box, and saw a black plastic bag, that I assumed was carrying the dress. But that's not what caught my eye. It was the other package that caught my eye. From inside the box it looked small, but once you took it out, it was about the size of a binder or so. I picked it up and gently tore the wrapping paper, and saw some letters that were in envelopes and tied together. I grabbed the first one and opened the letter, but almost dropped it from shock.
My best friend Bailey,
How are you doing? You're probably wondering why I'm writing this letter after not talking to you. I guess I have some major explaining to do.
First, I ran away from home. I know that before you left, things started to look better between me and my mom and my dad, but it wasn't. It got worse. Soon enough it became too much for me and I ran away. I went to Seattle to stay with one of my cousins who was in college there. She has an apartment that is quite nice and she had no problem taking me in.
I guess that I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. But know that every single e-mail that you sent, I read. I felt your pain and I wanted to help you, I just didn't know how or what to say.
This will be my last letter, because...I have to tell you something. There's this boy, Riley, he...he turned me into a vampire. Believe it or not, but I do hope that you'll believe me, he did. Now we are on our way to some small town to fight a coven. Apparently the coven is quite large, and I'm scared.
I hope that you'll forgive me for anything mean that I said to you or did to you, or even anything that you thought I did to you. Because the world couldn't handle us as sisters, we are best friends. I love you Bailey and we will always be soul sisters, always.
Love forever and always,
Maggie
I looked down at the letter and noticed little blobs falling on the paper. It took a couple of seconds to realise that I was crying. I wiped away some tears and looked at the other letters. They were all dated at different times, and I wanted to read them, but I wanted to know what else she sent.
I looked down and saw a scrap booking type book there. I opened it and smiled at the very first page: Maggie+Bailey=Soul Sisters. I went through the book looking at it until I came to the very last page. I smiled when I saw Maggie's cursive writing.
"Now it's time to tell your story. Capture every moment that you can because you're going to want to look back on it." I smiled and closed the book and put it aside for a moment. Then I looked at it again.
"I love you Margaret Genevieve Lacy Hampton."
