Before it even clicked in my head that my arm was actually broken, Jacob placed me in his car and sped towards the Cullen house rather than make his way to the hospital. If I was treated this way, it would be much easier to keep everything hidden and under the rug. I would hate for my parents or stepfather to hear that Jacob was the cause of my newly broken arm.

With each mile that the car drove, Jacob apologized to me again despite the fact that I repeatedly told him that there was no reason for him to apologize for what happened. After all, if I had not roughly pulled away rather than telling him that he was hurting me, none of this would have happened. 

"I'm so sorry." He said with a small whine while he parked the car where he usually did when he came to this house for whatever reason before coming around the car in order to open my door and help me out, "Do you want me to carry you inside? I don't mind."

"I broke my arm, not my leg." I mumbled softly since he had been annoying me throughout the whole car ride and I wasn't sure how much more I could take of this.

But, I still let him help me out of the car since I knew that he would continue to insist on helping me anyway.

He placed one of his large hands on my back and walked me slowly towards the front door. As usual, the house was relatively calm and quiet. Even though a majority of the family was most likely here, they had all gone their separate ways. I held my arm tenderly and when we stepped further into the house, Carlisle was sitting in the living room with a book in his hand.

He closed the book and used a small receipt to keep his place so that he could continue his reading later. Carlisle looked up at the two of us and smiled gently before he decided to actually greet us.

"It's nice to see the two of you again." He said politely before standing up and starting to walk towards us, "Though I must admit it's an unexpected visit. Are the two of you here to see Bella?"

As if on cue, Bella walked into the house right before Jacob was actually able to explain why we were here. Edward was a step behind her and he carried their daughter on his back. The three of them smiled once they saw Jacob and I but Jacob ruined the small moment of happiness once he explained why we came to see Dr. Cullen.

"We came here to see you." He said to Carlisle quietly with a small sigh in his voice before he started to explain everything else, "Hannah broke her arm and I couldn't think of anywhere else to go."

Everyone's eyes turned to me and even though Edward most likely already knew what happened thanks to his special talents that I was often envious of, they still bothered to ask what lead up to this once we had all followed Dr. Cullen upstairs. I was sitting down on a bed similar to an average hospital bed and Carlisle gently ran his hands along my broken forearm. Just by looking at it, it was obvious that this damage was obviously painful and would take a while to heal.

"Am I allowed to know what happened?" he asked curiously, most likely attempting to distract me as he dug through a drawer for some pain killers that he could give me after everything else was said and done.

"Jacob and I were arguing about something that didn't even deserve us to be mad about." I started to explain with a small shrug of my shoulders, "He grabbed my arm to keep me from walking off and when I tried to pull away from him, it broke."

He nodded and called Renesmee over to distract me so that he could get to work on whatever needed to be done. I turned my head a bit and smiled at her while she started going on and on about the new movies that she has recently purchased. Whenever Ness and I were alone because her parents were on a date or I simply felt the need to spend some time with her, we tried our hardest to watch as many movies as possible. She was a little film buff and had recently  committed herself to watching all of the Disney animated classics.

She was halfway through telling me about the plot of a low budget horror film that she had seen a few days ago with her Uncle Emmett when Dr. Cullen shifted his hold on my arm and snapped my broken bones back into place. My eyes widened and I tried my hardest not to scream from the pain in front of my niece and those around me even though there was nothing that I wanted more.

"I'm sorry." Renesmee said quickly, obviously aware that I was experiencing a lot of pain, "Would you feel better if we watch some movies today? We can use the big tv as long as I do my math work afterwards."

"That sounds like a good idea. Go get the television downstairs ready." Carlisle suggested to his pale granddaughter, "I think your grandma just picked up some snacks for you from the market."

Renesmee nodded and left, heading downstairs so that she could do exactly what Carlisle had suggested. His hands ran over my arm and he slowly started to put the cast on me. I shifted just a bit to get more comfortable, trying to ignore the fact that Jacob wasn't in the room even though his actions had put me in this situation.

"You're definitely going to have a cast on at your graduation tomorrow, but it should heal nicely. It's a bad break but I don't think it'll take more than two months to heal. We don't have anything to worry about." He said in an attempt to reassure me since he could only guess how I was feeling right now, "I'll give you some pills for the pain. I know that none of this is a pleasant experience."

He turned around and wrote something down before digging in a drawer for some of those painkillers that he had just mentioned to me. When I looked away from the new cast on my arm, I saw that Bella and Edward were looking at me. They were both obviously nervous and worried about what happened to me just a few hours ago. I just hoped that everyone was going to be over these emotions by my graduation tomorrow.

"Do you want me to call your parents?" he suggested, "I'm sure Charlie and your mother are both going to be worried when they find out what happened."

In response to what he said, I shook my head and he looked confused.

"Ness wants to watch a movie. I'll hang out with her for a bit before I head home." I explained to him as I shifted to get more comfortable, "At least that way I have a chance to prepare for how upset and confused they're going to be once they see a cast on my arm."

He nods again and handed me the bottle of painkillers with instructions on the bottle. A few moments later, I walked downstairs and I sat down beside Ness on the huge couch. She placed a large bowl of popcorn between the two of us before grabbing the remote and pressing play on the obviously gory film she picked for today. I guess we had a new film obsession and had moved on from the Disney renaissance classics.
