Chapter 21

Embry's POV

Ruthie always blogs about Allison trying to get her to be able to talk, and Allison always fails. Maybe I have a no chance of hearing her voice. But maybe, just maybe, it needs to be me who helps her find her voice. I hoped for the latter.

Carlisle had said I could go home a couple of days before, but I was still confined to bed. That meant I would miss more school, and I'm already failing. I spent my time obsessively checking Ruthie's blog for updates, always finding that she hadn't written one yet.

Last time Carlisle came to check on me, he said that my ribs were nearly healed, but my arm and my leg may take up to a month more to completely heal.

The doorbell rang, and I heard Mum answer the door.

"I've brought Embry's schoolwork?" I heard Paul say. I wondered why it was Paul who had brought my work, rather than Jake or Quil.

"He's in his room. You can take it up to him." I heard Mum tell him.

A minute later, there was a knock on my bedroom door and Paul came in. He had a worried – almost pained – look on his face. He handed me my schoolwork and asked if he could talk to me.

"Thanks. You saved my life." He said.

"Hey, you would have done the same for me." I replied.

"Actually... I probably wouldn't have. You annoy the hell out of me," He smiled, "You has Imprinted on my sister, and I know how I think about Rach. I just don't want anyone thinking about my baby sister like that." There was an awkward silence before Paul spoke again, "Just don't hurt her, OK?"

He thought I would hurt her? "I won't." I promised.

"Good." He smiled, "Because if you do you'll be back in that bed with all four limbs broken faster than you can say sorry!"

Hi, I'm really sorry for the delay in updating, I really have no excuse as these chapters have been typed and edited for ages thanks to the lovely Rain621.
