Hello!

I know it's been a few months too long since I've last updated, but I wanted to have a lot written out so it would flow better. I hope you enjoy!

I tried to fix all grammatical and spelling errors, sorry if I missed any.

-XX

"Party girl! Wake up." my mom shakes me lightly. I blink a few times and yawn.

"I'm up." she gives me a kiss on the forehead and walks out, shutting my door. I sit up and feel how queasy my stomach is. My heart beats really fast, something's wrong, really really wrong. It's my dad, something is either happening or going to happen.

BZZZ BZZZZ BZZZ I find my phone and answer it.

"Sveta, what's wrong?" Seth asks though the phone.

"I-I don't know. How did you know?"

"I can feel it. Jake and Leah feel it too. We have a bond I guess."

"It's dad Seth. Something's happening."

"What?"

"Check on him!" I start to cry.

"Okay." there's a slight pause, "He's fine. He's drinking coffee in the kitchen with my mom."

"Then something's going to happen. Something bad, Seth." I cry more.

"Shh...He's gonna be fine." he tries to comfort me.

"No Seth." I shake my head, "He's not." I sniff, "Can I talk to him?" there's a little pause.

"Hello?"

"Hi dad." I try to hide the fear in my voice.

"Are you excited?"

"Of course. I can't wait to see you all too. And you'll be here at four right?"

"Yeah, I'll try to be there on time. I'm fishing with Charlie, I'll have to take a shower before I come though."

"Have fun, and be careful okay."

He hesitates, "I will."

"I love you."

"Love you too."

"Call me if you feel anything else." Seth's back on the other end.

"I will." we hang up and I get in the shower. When I get out the light on my phone is flashing. A missed call and two texts from Jake. I call him back, no answer. He always answers, even if he's in the shower he'll send my call to voice mail and an automated text will send back that says 'Shower'. There's a quiet howl from outside. That's Jacob's howl; why is he in wolf form?

"I think that's for you." my mom says knocking on my door.

"Got it." I look out my window, he's standing in the trees looking into my window at me. 'Give me a minute to change.' I think and point to the towel around me, he nods once. I throw on a tank top and shorts and go out the back door and into the trees. "What are you doing here? And like this?" I ask rubbing his head.

'Something was wrong. I needed to see you.'

"Did you talk to Seth?"

'No, but I heard his conversation with you and left right after you guys hung up.'

"I'm fine, but my dad won't be. I don't know how, but I feel it."

'It'll be okay sweetie.' I put my hands on my head and look down. "Look at me." he speaks, I turn back to him he's human, wearing shorts.

"Wher-"

"I hid them out here when I came to visit. Thought I might need them one day." I wrap my arms around his neck hugging him closely, his hands go around my back and grip me tightly. "Don't worry about him, with all of us there, you have my word nothing can get to him. We will all be here later, healthy and on time." he leans back and looks me in the eyes, "I. Promise." I burry my face in his neck and take a few deep breaths. "C'mon, go get ready." I give his neck a light kiss. He puts both of his hands on the sides of my face and kisses me softly. This isn't the usual feeling I get when kissing him. I'm not aroused, I'm loved and protected. He let's go of me and slowly turns me so I'm facing my house, he gives me a light nudge forwards, I sigh and go back to my house.

"Everything okay?" my mom asks when I walk back in.

"Just got a bad feeling."

"About?"

"Today."

"You're just nervous about the party." she smiles and rubs my back. "It's normal."

"Yeah…" I lie and fake a small smile. "I'm gonna set up the table cloths and stuff." I grab the bags of table cloths and go back outside. Jacob and Seth had come out the night before to help me with the tables. I get three tables dressed before I hear a car pull up. I look over and Rose walks around the house smiling.

"Hey." I call.

"You're a little underdressed, don't you think?"

"Ha ha."

"I came to help. Whatever you need."

"You can put on the centerpieces." she decorates the tables I've dressed.

We get all the tables and chairs in place and dressed. We set up speakers, lights and a netted tent to go over the food tables. A little after three Emily, Sue, Seth, Brady and Collin arrive. Seth pulls me aside secretly.

"What's up?" I ask him.

"Just wanted to let you know that when I left, dad was okay. He was at Charlie's house watching a game. They canceled their fishing trip when they found out the game was on.

"Thank you." I smile. He smiles and goes over to Sue to help her.

"You my dear, need to go get ready." Rose pushes me into the house.

"Fine." I put my hands up and close the curtains in my room and my door. I put on my white, short, high neck dress-it's cinched at the waist so the bottom flares out a little-and brush out my hair. I straighten it and just leave it down. I lightly brush on shimmery gold eye shadow, black eye liner and black mascara. I slip on my black, platform wedges and open my curtains back up and go back outside.

"Look at you." Sue smiles. "So beautiful."

"Thank you." I smile, "Is everything set up? Do you need anything?"

"Nope, we're good to go."

"People are here!" my mom shouts from the house. I walk around to the front and greet the people. My aunt, uncle, three cousins and two of my friends are here. I take them around back and introduce them. Next two more cars full of family. I check my phone, 4:15, "He's late." I mumble to myself.

"Where're the guys?" Sue asks me.

I shake my head, "I don't know."

"They probably just hit some traffic." Seth shrugs.

"Sure, yeah." I smile.

It's after the 5:00 set dinner time. The guys and my dad still aren't here. We've called, sent texts and no answer.

"Honey we have to serve the food. We can't wait anymore." my mom says.

"I know, go ahead. I'm just gonna try one more time." she nods and walks away, I go around to the front of the house and call Jacob first.

'This is Jake, leave a message.' his voicemail says.

I sigh, "Where are you guys? You're over an hour late! You promised, Jacob." I hang up and call my dad. He has an automated voice as his message.

"Dad it's me again. I don't know what's going on, but I wish you'd let me know if you're still coming. Please just call me back." I go back to the party and make a plate of food. Everyone's having a good time, eating, laughing, drinking; I can't stop thinking about where the guys and my dad are.

"Where's Jake?" Rose sits next to me.

"No clue."

"What?"

"He promised he'd be here on time, but I can't get a hold of him."

"That's really shitty."

"Yup." I throw my phone on the table, "Same with my dad."

"I heard your mom complaining about him." I look around to find her.

'Typical Harry.' I read her lips. 'He's unbelievable, standing her up like this.' she's talking to my aunt.

"Here, drink this." She hands me a Mike's Hard Lemonade then puts a full shot glass in front of me. I take the shot and down the bottle.

"I don't want to be too drunk when he gets here. I need to be able to form full sentences at least."

"If you're too drunk to yell at him, I'm pretty sure Seth will for you." she nods towards him, I look over; he's way beyond pissed. I can see on Sue's face that she's pissed as well. We serve the dessert at seven still with no contact from the guys, I'm about to lose it.

[JACOB'S P.O.V] (1:00)

I plan to leave before three so I can get there early. I pull a pair of jeans and a button up shirt. I hop in the shower, scrub everywhere and get out. I dry off and put on boxers.

"JAKE!" I hear Paul yell, he runs in my room.

"What are you doing here?"

"We gotta go, bloodsucker."

"Fuck!" I scoop up my clothes and run out to my truck. I take my boxers off, tie shorts to my ankle, throw my clothes in my truck and phase. I run to the rest of the pack

'What is Bella doing here?!' I growl.

'She lured in the leech.' Sam barks back.

'He's gonna kill her.' Quil states. We creep out in formation, the leech stops, his mouth drops. Sam and Paul run towards him, he runs away. I walk past Bella, she looks scared out of her mind. I run past her to meet up with the guys. The leech smacks Sam back. We all attack and rip him to shreds. I see slight movement out of the corner of my eye, I slowly look towards it.

'Guys, there's another one.' I tell them. We take off towards it. She climbs up the tree. We lose her for about three hours until we catch her scent again. We see Harry, Charlie, Quil's grandfather and some of their friends; they're carrying big guns. Harry looks down at the ground, I see him smooth over a paw print with his foot.

"Find somethin' Harry?" Charlie asks.

"Nope." he responds, Charlie walks off. I creep up behind Harry. "You guys gotta get out of here. Charlie's hunting you!" Harry warns. He looks up, I turn and see the red head again, I dart off towards her. I come close to getting her twice. I chase her to the water, I phase back, untie the shorts from my leg and slip them on. I look over and see a girl on a higher cliff. Wait- Bella? What the fuck! She jumps into the water, she's close to the leech. I jump in and swim over to her quickly, pulling her out just in time. Her face is blue, she's not moving. "Breathe! C'mon." I tilt her head back and she spits out water, she blinks a little and looks around, I sigh.

"Get her home! We're gonna go help out over at Harry's!" Sam yells.

"Wait! They're not there remember!" Paul shouts.

"Fuck, Sveta! They're at Sveta's." I smack myself in the head.

"What's going on?" Bella asks.

"Harry Clearwater had a heart attack. It's pretty serious, he might not make it."

"That's horrible."

"I was supposed to be at Sveta's house for her graduation party hours ago."

"You were chasing Victoria though, she'll understand."

"Where did she even come from?! She hasn't been around in a while."

"I went out looking for an adventure. I didn't know she was watching."

"You couldn't just stay inside!" I yell and stand up. "I promised her!" I yell louder, "I'll be there on time! We'll keep your dad safe, you can trust me!"

"Jake, I'm sorry."

I shake my head, "C'mon. I'm taking you home and then I need to get to Sveta's." we start walking to my house.

"No. Take me with you."

"That's not gonna happen! Out of the question."

"Why?"

"You two don't get along. I'm not going to ruin her day."

"I want to give her my condolences. I feel responsible for this." Yeah, you should!

When we get back to my house I shower again and change my clothes. I take her to her house and keep an eye out while she showers.

"Jacob please don't leave me. Victoria's still out there. I can't defend myself."

"I can't take you to her house." I shake my head. "Where else can you go?"

"Nowhere, the Cullen's are hunting still. Please, I'll die if you leave me here. Please." She starts to cry.

"I'm dead. So fucking dead." I get in my car and slam my door shut, she slides in quietly next to me. "She's never gonna talk to me again." I hit the steering wheel.

"I'm really sor-"

"Don't. Don't talk." I shake my head and get on the freeway. I speed as much as I can and make it to her house in under an hour. Before I can park she walks around the side of the house with Rose, Sue and Emily, maybe she heard the truck. I get out, Bella opens her door and they all stop walking.

[SVETA'S P.O.V]

The party's basically over. I didn't set an end time, but about half of my quests are gone. I hear a truck, I check my phone, "9:15, wonder if this is him." Rose and I walk to the house, Emily and Sue follow. "Well well well." I say when I see Jakes truck. He gets out and walks around the front, the passenger door opens; when I see who it is I freeze. I drop the bottle that's in my hand, it shatters and its' contents splash my feet.

"No Jacob...please tell me you aren't that stupid!" I yell and shake my head taking a deep breath. Bella closes her door and walks over to me slowly, Jacob holds out his arm and stops her, he walks to us. "You show up over 5 hours late, you haven't returned any of my calls or texts, and you bring the only person I didn't want to see today."

"I didn't want to bring her!"

"Doubtful."

"Really I begged him!" Bella chimes in. I give her a dirty look, she looks down.

"Just leave! There's no point in you being here. I don't want you here!" I yell.

"I need to talk to you." He says quietly.

"I don't care!" I shake my head, "You broke your promise. I guess she really does come before me!" I nod towards Bella.

"No!" He yells back. "She doesn't come before you!"

"Just piss off." I turn and walk away quickly.

"Sveta please." He begs I keep walking.

"Un fucking believable." I shout.

"What's wrong?" Seth asks.

"He brought Bella. Bella! I told him specifically, she was the only fucking person I didn't want here. He shows up five hours late and brings her!" I throw my hands up and scoff, "I can't even fucking grasp this. He promised, 'I'll be there on time, don't worry, I love you.' Bullshit." I mock him. Seth looks behind me, I guess Jacob's standing there. "Is he behind me?"

"Yeah."

"I told you to leave." I say to the ground.

"I'm not going anywhere." He says. I walk away.

"Sweetie were gonna take off now." My aunt comes up to me. We say our goodbyes and her my uncle and cousins leave. The last guests say their goodbyes as well.

"Please Sveta I'm begging you." I slam down a cup.

"What!"

His eyes are dark and watery; they dart back and forth between mine. "Your dad..." He starts, instantly my eyes tear up.

My bottom lip trembles, "w-what?" I ask quietly.

"He's in the hospital. He had a heart attack."

"Seth!" I yell as the tears flow, he sees I'm crying and runs over.

"What? What the fuck did you do?" He yells at Jacob.

"D-dad." I whisper, "He had a heart attack."

"What?"

"Everyone else is there now with him."

"We need to go." Seth grabs my hand and we run over to his mom and Emily. "Dad had a heart attack, we have to go." Sue's eyes tear up.

"I'm gonna go get my keys." I run in the house and grab my purse and keys. I tell my mom where I'm going, she says I shouldn't drive, but I'll be fine.

"Sveta let me drive you." Jacob says when I run out, everyone else is in their cars waiting for me.

"Go home." I tell Jacob. "Emily, I'm following you!" she nods and starts her car. I start up my car and Jacob hops in his truck, we speed off towards the freeway. It's a late Sunday night and the freeways are empty as usual, no cops either for once. When we get to the hospital we all run in.

"If you come inside you're on your own." Jacob says to Bella. "I'm here for them, for Sveta, They might not want you here; especially when they find out how it happened."

We're directed at the counter on where to go. We take the elevator up a few floors and see everyone else in the waiting room, Leah runs to her mom and they hug.

"Is he okay?" Sue asks, Leah shakes her head no.

"Can we see him?" I ask.

"Only a few at a time. Billy and Charlie are in there now." we all sit down in chairs, Jacob sits next to me. I would get up and move, but there are no more empty chairs. He puts his hand out with the palm up and looks at me, I cross my right leg over my left and look the opposite direction. Leah notices, she glares at Bella and doesn't look away. When Billy and Charlie come out me, Sue and Seth go in to see him. He smiles weakly when he sees us. Sue gives him a kiss on the forehead and she starts to cry. I give him a long hug and a kiss on the cheek, I can't help, but to cry a little. I can't even talk, I just look at him.

"Sveta sweetie…" he says.

"Yeah dad?"

"Can you get me some ice from the machine downstairs?"

"Sure." I smile and grab his cup, I have to walk past the waiting room to get to the elevator.

"Where are you going?" Jacob asks me.

"He wants ice." I don't stop walking or even look at him. When I come back up with the ice everyone except for Jacob is in the waiting room; I notice Charlie is comforting Sue. When I get to my dad's room he's with Jacob. "I got your ice." I smile and set it next to him; I sit in the chair next to Jacob.

"Thank you." he sits up a little. "Sveta I'm sorry I wasn't there for you today."

"Don't you dare apologize for having a heart attack." I smile.

"Look how beautiful you are." he smiles. "All in white, how you will be on your wedding day," he chokes up a little; I start crying again, "I'm sorry I won't be here that day to walk you down the aisle."

"Yes you will dad." I smile and take his hand.

"No sweetie." he shakes his head.

"Don't say that." I whisper.

"Here." Jacob puts his hand on my shoulder, I look at him and he hands me a tissue.

"Thank you." I smile and take it wiping off my face. He puts an arm around my shoulder, I look back at my dad and he smiles at me.

"Don't be mad at him." my dad says.

I look at Jacob, "What did you say to him?"

"He didn't have to say anything. I could tell when he came in to see me. He looked bad."

"I don't want to talk about that right now."

"I just have something to tell you two." he coughs, "Live and do whatever you want when you want." he pauses, "I give you two my blessing."

"What?" I ask.

"I know that Jacob's the kind of guy to ask for my blessing. He hasn't asked yet, but we're all…here, now so I figured I'd tell you."

"Dad we've never even talked about marriage."

"You two are gonna get married. You're gonna have kids too."

"Okay dad." I appease him, "Well we can talk all about that later when you're not all doped up." I smile.

"Sveta you're not hearing me." he closes his eye.

"Are you hearing you? Stop saying you're not gonna be around!"

"Sveta…" Jacob says quietly.

"No Jacob, stop. I'm not gonna sit here and listen to you saying how you're not gonna be around for my wedding day and you're not gonna be able to see your grandchildren or anything else!" by the end of the sentence I'm hysterical. Jacob hugs me tightly and I sob in his chest.

"Honey it's okay." my dad says. "You can get through this." I sigh and sit back, I wipe my face.

"How are you okay with this?"

"Because I know you'll always have someone to take care of you. You will never be alone in life, you're surrounded by love." it's quiet. "You knew this day would come."

"I know, but I just got you back in my life."

"At least we're separating on good terms." I sigh, and sit back. "Go home honey, get some rest. Come back tomorrow though, okay."

"I don't want to leave."

"I will be fine overnight. And I will still be here, tomorrow. Do you hear me?"

"Tomorrow, okay." I rub my face. I get up and hug him again, longer and tighter. I give him a kiss on the forehead and on his cheek. I grab another tissue and wipe my face while Jacob hugs him.

"You better take good care of my daughter, you hear me."

"I will Harry," he sniffs, "I will." I walk out of the room and lean against the wall taking a few deep breaths. Jacob comes out and puts a hand on my shoulder, I shake it off.

"I'm still mad." I say looking at the ground.

"Then talk to me." he pleads.

I look up at him, "You really don't know why I'm mad?"

"I know why, but I wish you'd let me explain." I keep looking at him and wait for him to keep going.

"I'm so sorry." he starts out slowly, "For everything that happened today. You don't know how bad it hurts to see you hurt. Especially because I'm part of the reason why." we slowly start walking back to the waiting area, "I just wish you'd let me be here for you."

"You are not making me feel guilty about this Jacob!" I stop us from walking, we're at the waiting room.

"No no no, I-"

"Because you broke both of your promises to me today!" I realize that was a little loud, I look around and people stop staring when our eyes meet. "You were supposed to protect him." he reaches his hand out, but I keep walking to the elevator. I go down to the cafeteria and get a hot chocolate. I sit at a table and look down at my hands.

"Hey." Leah says sitting next to me, I flash a quick smile. "I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Look, you're my sister and I might not show it all the time, but I want you to be happy, you deserve to be happy."

"What's going on?"

"It wasn't Jacob's fault." I sigh, "I was there remember."

"What happened?"

"There were two vampires; Bella's the reason they're here. The first one we took care of quickly, the redhead was faster. It's all Bella's fault and I'm not just saying it because I don't like her; it's the truth. We had two wolves stay at Charlie's while we took care of the first bloodsucker. They heard Bella rush in and tell her dad that it's not bears that are killing people, but huge wolves in the woods that are. Charlie asked dad to get some of his hunting buddies together and they left to hunt us. Of course dad and his friends were on our side, covering our footprints, distracting the other guys while we ran past, but the redhead got to him. She picked him up by the neck and threw him down. I guess maybe she scared him into the heart attack. If she wouldn't have opened her big fucking mouth dad would be fine!"

"And that bitch has the nerve to be sitting up there?" I shake my head and lean back in my chair. "So wait, Jacob was there the whole time right?"

"Yeah why?"

"He knew she's the reason for all of this…and he still brought her to my house." I look at her.

"I don't know why." she looks down.

"He told me he was done with her, that I came first."

"I guess he lied." she pauses, "Oh and then she fucking decided to go cliff diving, she knocks herself out and Jake had to jump in to save her from the red head. She was so close to getting that bitch, I wish Jacob would have just left, then none of this would have happened and the leeches would be gone."

"Un fucking believable." I say quietly.

"You just need to stay strong. He's gonna do whatever he can to get you to forgive him, but if I were you I wouldn't. You deserve his full attention, you shouldn't have to share it with her." she makes a disgusted face.

"Thank you." we stand and hug.

"I'm gonna head back up now."

"I'll be up in a minute, I don't think I can look at her face yet." she smiles and walks away. I sit back down and put my head down on my arm. I'm alone for a few minutes until I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Miss?" I sit up.

"Yes?"

"I was just checking to see if you were okay." he's a doctor. He has short brown hair, bright brown eyes and a light stubble of a mustache and beard; he looks a lot like Ryan Guzman.

"Oh, thank you." I smile. I wipe under my eyes in case any makeup has fallen. He lightly grabs my hand and sits where Leah was.

"You don't need to do that." he smiles, he has soft hands. I smile and look down. "This is kind of a stupid question to ask in a hospital, but are you okay?"

"Um…no." I shake my head, "I'm not." he's still holding my hand, his thumb starts to lightly rub over the top of it. "My dad had a heart attack today and," I pause to close my eyes and blink a few times to fight back the tears. "and he's not gonna make it." a few tears fall from my left eye, he grabs a napkin from the table and wipes them away.

"I'm very sorry."

"I know it's a part of life, but my father and I haven't really been in each other's lives throughout the years, and we recently started talking again, but now we have to say goodbye."

"That's too bad." he looks carefully at my face.

"Sorry, I'm just trying not to cry." I smile and look away.

"Cry, it's okay. It helps."

"Thank you for listening."

"My pleasure." he moves his chair closer to me and goes in for a hug, I accept and hug him back. His cologne is soothing and his embrace is strong and protective; I hug him tighter before we separate.

"Paging Dr. O'Brien, Dr. O'Brien to the O.R." the P.A system speaks, he looks down at his beeper.

"I didn't know they called me," he says pushing a button. "If you ever want to talk again or maybe get some coffee, here's my card." he pulls out a business card and writes on the back, "I put my cell phone number on the back." I take it and look down to find his name, Dr. Tyler O'Brien. "I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

"Svetlana, but please, call me Sveta." I had him my number too.

"It was nice to meet you, Sveta."

"You too." I smile, "Thank you, again." he smiles and walks off.

[JACOB'S P.O.V]

"You were supposed to protect him." I reach my hand out, but she keeps walking to the elevator. I sit between Leah and Seth, we're directly across from Bella.

"You two alright?" Seth asks.

I shake my head, "No. I really fucked up." he turns his head to look at me, "I'll be surprised if she forgives me."

"Now is a hard time for her."

"I know. I just don't want to hear her say we're done. I can't hear that. Maybe I should just go talk to her now."

"No." Leah stands. "Let me, I think what she needs right now is a sister."

"Okay." I nod.

She looks back at Bella then at me, "I'm telling her." she says and walks away.

"Maybe it's best you two take a break."

"What?" I look back at him. "How can you say that?"

"Because there's a lot going on in her life right now. We're all worried about dad, I know he's not gonna make through the week." he says sniffing a lot, "When he goes who knows how it'll affect her. Maybe she'll shift, maybe she'll get depressed, there's no way to know."

"That's exactly why she needs someone there for her! She can't go through this by herself, she should have someone to talk to."

"That's what we're for, family. She might not be able to make time for you anymore, if she's depressed she won't want anyone around."

"Our love is strong though, I can help her get through this. I can help you all get through this."

He shrugs and puts his head back closing his eyes. I slowly make my way down to the cafeteria. I get a large coffee and look around for Sveta. She's sitting with a doctor, it's not one of her dad's doctors. They start hugging, it turns into a long hug; I don't like this. She's smiling at him how she usually smiles at me. I love that smile, but hate that it's for him. I've never felt the way I do now; I never knew I was the jealous type.

"Paging Dr. O'Brien, Dr. O'Brien to the O.R." Rings out through the hospital. He looks down to his waist, he pulls out some paper, writes down his number-I assume-and hands it to her. I wait until he's gone before I walk over to her.

[SVETA'S P.O.V]

Wow was he hot! I'm allowed to think that right? Jacob probably thinks of other girls all the time. I can't believe he gave me his number though.

"Can I sit?" I look up, it's Jacob.

"Sure." I put Tyler's card in my wallet and rest my hands around my cup.

"I saw you talking with a doctor is everything okay?"

"Oh yeah. He's not one of my dad's doctors. We were just talking-well I was talking, he was listening." I chuckle. He looks down at the table, something seems wrong. "Does that bother you?"

"Yeah." he chuckles and looks up, "I…I didn't like it, the way he was looking at you and the way you smiled at him. It drove me nuts."

"Were you, jealous?" I ask slowly.

He looks at me. "Yeah, I was."

"Really?" I didn't know he was the type of guy to get jealous.

"I really don't like admitting it, but yeah. I don't like that feeling."

"So, you didn't like the way he looked at me? The way I smiled back at him, how I laughed at his jokes?"

"I didn't see you guys laughing."

"The way we hugged?"

"What are you getting at?"

"You don't like sharing me with another person?" he looks at me for a few seconds before it clicks in that I'm talking about him and Bella.

"I get it."

"You don't like the way I acted with him. You're used to me being that way with you."

"I said I get it!"

"No, I don't think you do." I look back and forth between his eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"We both know I know what really happened today."

"What do you want me to say?"

"Nothing Jacob. I'm gonna give you some time to think about your answers before you try to lie to me. Everything is her fault. She told her dad about you guys; if she wouldn't have opened up her big mouth we would not be here right now and my dad would not be on his death bed." I sniff, "I just don't understand how you could bring her. Why you brought her and why she's sitting up there right now." he opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. I grab my cup and stand up, he lightly holds my arm, "Please let me go." I say quietly, it takes him a second, but he lets go. I go back upstairs and sit next to Seth, he puts his arm around me and I rest my head on his shoulder. "I'm gonna head home. Dad told me to leave and get some sleep, so."

"I'm not letting you drive all the way home."

"It's only an hour."

"An hour less sleep you get and what if god forbid something happens? You're gonna be pissed if you're an hour away."

"Fine, fine."

"You can stay in your old bed if you'd like." he smiles at the end.

"Thank you."

"Can I ride back with you?"

"Yeah."

"Mom, you're staying here in dad's room tonight, right?" Seth asks Sue.

"Yeah."

"Do you want us to bring you anything tonight?" I ask.

"No, I'm okay."

"We're gonna head home. We'll be back tomorrow."

"That sounds good. Get some sleep." She smiles and gives us both a hug and a kiss. Everyone there hugs us except Jacob-he's not back from the cafeteria yet- and Bella.

"Bye Sveta, I hope everything's okay with your dad." Bella says to me. I look at her not saying anything, I don't want to have a huge argument here in the hospital. Trying to contain myself, my hands automatically close into fists

"Ahem." someone clears their throat, it's Jacob. He looks down at my hands then back up to my eyes. I look at Bella one more time then walk past Jacob and leave with Seth. When we get to his house he lets us in and sits on the couch staring at the carpet, I sit next to him.
