Annabeth Swan was the older sister of Isabella Swan. Unlike her sister, Annabeth wasn't upset with the idea of moving to Forks to live with their father. Annabeth had continued to visit him every year near Christmas, unlike her sister, so she and he...
Like Annabeth had predicted, she didn't get much sleep. To be completely honest, she probably got around two hours all together, and that was being generous. She didn't even bother getting up for a run, since she was so exhausted. She couldn't miss anymore school though, since she had a test coming up that she wanted to pass.
Anna laid in bed for thirty minutes, dosing on and off the entire time. After that, she got up and went straight for a shower to try and wake herself up a bit. It wasn't really working, but it woke her up enough where she wasn't scared to drive herself to school. Once she was out of the shower, she put a low braid in her hair, since she didn't feel like blow-drying it. She then put on some makeup to try and cover up the dark circles that surrounded her eyes.

As soon as she was dressed, she headed down the stairs to leave the house. She was leaving a little early, but she needed to pick up an energy drink or two. She hoped like hell that they would work, otherwise she was going to fall asleep during class a few too many times for her liking.
"The results are coming in today, right?" Crystal asked, the moment she was at Anna's side in the parking lot.
"Yep."
"Did you get any sleep last night?" She asked,"You look exhausted, the makeup is barely covering it up." She added, making Anna frown.
"Not really, but I got an hour or two, so it should be fine. Besides, I went and picked up a couple energy drinks." She replied, making Crystal nod, though she was worried about her friend.
"I've got to turn in my late work real quick," Crystal commented,"I'll meet you in class, okay?"
Anna watched as Crystal rushed off, and barely a moment later, Alice cornered her by her car.
"I've got a question for you." Alice stated, making Anna sigh.
"I'm not in the mood right now, Alice, please go away." Anna replied, but Alice didn't budge.
"What are you hiding from us?" Alice questioned, causing Anna to look at her with furrowed eyebrows.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Anna retorted, as she crossed her arms.
"I know Bella told you about Edward's gift, and Emmett's, and mine," Alice frowned deeper,"which makes me wonder how you're staying out of my visions. How are you keeping yourself hidden? What are you hiding?" She searched Anna's eyes as she spoke, but got nothing,"You owe us that much, for opening our home to you, after you learned our secret."
"Bella never told me that!" Anna exclaimed, though she made sure no one else heard,"You've been spying on me?! Are you crazy?!" She shook her head with a humorless laugh,"You are crazy! You and your entire family are nuts! I owe you nothing! I wanted nothing to do with you the moment I met you, yet you're relentless! How much more clear can I be?! Leave me alone! Quit bothering me! Quit spying on me! I'm not your problem, and I sure as hell am not your friend! Back off!"
The last part of her rant was heard by quite a few of the students in the parking lot. They stopped and stared at Alice and Anna. Anna had planned for this, because it would make Alice leave her alone. It would make people believe the Cullens had a problem, especially if they didn't leave Anna alone after this.
Alice glanced around for a second, before she quickly ran off to her family. Anna turned towards the family, and most of them were staring at her with wide eyes. They hadn't expected her to act like that, but they had also told Alice to let up on her, but the girl did the exact opposite.
Before Anna could make it into school, her cellphone began to ring. She pulled it from her pocket, and seen that the hospital was calling her. She knew almost immediately that it meant Carlisle was calling her, and her heart seemed to beat faster, knowing he had her results in hand.
"Anna, how are you feeling this morning?" He asked, the moment she had answered the phone.
"Exhausted," She admitted,"I didn't sleep much. I was too nervous about my results."
"Well, most of your results came back clean," He replied,"There was only one that wasn't."
"What is it?" She asked, her heart skipping a beat when she heard that all of her tests weren't perfect.
"Anna, I believe you should come down to the hospital for that answer," Carlisle said,"It's not easy to explain over the phone."
"I'll be there soon." She replied, before she hung up the phone.
Without even taking a second to think, Anna hopped back into her car and drove like a bat out of hell to the hospital. Once she was there, she quickly got out of her car and ran inside of the hospital. She was a little surprised to see Carlisle waiting on her, but the moment he seen her, he beckoned her to follow him to his office. He then shut the door behind them, and had her take a seat.
"Skip all the other stuff," Anna murmured,"What's wrong with me?" She asked, making the man sigh.
"Anna, you've got a brain aneurysm," He said,"but, because it is not ruptured, and a very slow bleed, I believe we can fix it with simple medication."
"A-are you serious?" She questioned, "What caused it?"
"Now that, I'm not completely sure," He replied,"but I'm inclined to believe it was stess or something along those lines. There's many things that could cause one, but I believe drugs and alcohol are ruled out, yes?"
"Yeah, I've never done any of that." She replied, and he nodded.
"Well, I guess it was a good idea you had a scan, otherwise we never would've found this. Going untreated, it could potentially get worse." He stated, making her heart skip a beat.
She was going to have to tell Charlie and Bella, and that scared the hell out of her, but having a brain bleed scared her more than anything...
