"Alright, miss accident-prone, take it easy," Charlie said as I tried getting out of bed.

"Doctor Carlisle said I can go school." I frowned at him,

"I still think you should take another week. Or month." Charlie said, arms crossed as he leaned in my doorway.

"Edward and Emmett are coming to pick us up, so she won't have to move a whole lot. She's had a lot of visitors," Bella said, coming into my room to help me get dressed, which I don't need assistance for.

"And I've already missed a lot of school." I pointed out,

"You haven't missed - ...you're a genius, you'll graduate," Bella said as she ushered Charlie away.

"I know. Not going to be Valedictorian," I said as she helped me up.

It's going to be a long day. 

..

I was correct. Everyone offered to carry my books or help me get out of my seat. A few guys lurched forward when it looked like I was going to fall down. I sat between Emmett and Jasper, and Bella and Edward were sitting with Jessica and the others.

"Want me to feed you~" Emmett smirked,

"I will kill you." I glared at him,

"...They're sulking," Rosalie said, looking behind me.

"Well. They're being annoying. Everyone's being annoying," I grumbled as I took a bite of the apple.

"You look more pale and aren't as lively. You're not eating as much either," Alice said,

I made myself eat everything, even though half of the food tasted bland and my stomach was hurting. I sat up and smacked my cheeks.

"Shit happens," I said, 

"There's little perky," Emmett smirked,

I scowled when he grabbed my tray and walked away with it. I glared daggers at the back of his head. Can I kill him? I glared at Edward when he chuckled. Jerks.

"We were all worried," Jasper said,

"Sorry," I smiled sadly as I got up.

I tripped over the chair, Emmett caught me, and the cafeteria went silent. I knew everyone was staring.

"I'm going to kill everyone," I growled,

"No more moving for you," Emmett said, lifting me up into his arms.

"We'll grab your books," Rosalie said, walking beside Emmett as he carried me out of the cafeteria.

"I'm going to kill you all." I crossed my arms, glaring at Emmett.

"You're fragile right now, Artemis. Did you already forget what Carlisle said?" Rosalie asked as she opened my locker.

"Everything okay?" Mr. Jenkins asked,

"I just tripped. They're overreacting," I said,

"You were in a terrible accident three weeks ago, Artemis; everyone's worried. If you need to, you can hang out in the Nurse's office," Mr. Jenkins said before leaving us.

"No." I glared at Rosalie.

"...we care for you, Artemis. Not just because you're Bella's sister," Rosalie said, rolling her eyes when she said my sister's name.

"Thank You,"

.Friday Night.

"Are you sure about this?" Charlie asked as he pulled up to Harry & Sue's place.

They were having a 'Welcome Back/Got Healthy' party for me. Everyone was already here. Billy, Elder Quil, Embry, Quil, Jacob, the Pack. Even Leah was here, even though Sam and Emily were both here.

"Leah came, Dad," I said, looking at him.

"That she did." Charlie nodded, parking the cruiser.

"Welcome Back!" almost everyone cheered as Charlie helped me out of the car.

 "Leeeaaahh!" I yelled, running at her.

"Artemis!" The Grown Ups yelled, worried,

Leah looked annoyed, but she caught me as I jumped on her. She wrapped her arms around me and spun me around. I squealed and laughed until she sat me down.

"Missed you too," she grumbled,

"We feel loved," Embry teased,

"Leah's my favorite." I looked at them, sticking my tongue out.

"Seriously, though. How are you?" Quil asked, worried,

"Healthy as I was before I got into the accident." I gave them an ok,

"Did they catch him?" Seth asked, scanning me.

Leah smacked him on the backside of his head.

"Could have been a girl. They didn't find the car. Before anyone else asks. I'm fine. I'm home and safe, obviously," I said, messing up Quil and Embry's hair.

Jacob hugged me, his face in my neck as he gripped me. I wrapped my arms around him, putting my head on his. Seth hugged my back; the other two joined in the hug.

"Artemis," Charlie said,

"I'm good here. Get back to work. Don't forget to leave my stuff!" I hollered, tilting my head back to try and look at him, but I was too squished.

"Don't worry, Charlie, we'll make sure she doesn't trip." Sue chuckled,

Everyone always overreacts. It's not like I'm an egg.

"Release! Artemis gets the first plate," Sue ordered,

They let go of me. Leah walked next to me as we went inside first. This is going to be fine. I'm safe here, too. Paul, Sam, and Jared are outside. I'm okay.
