You Had Me At Hello

Getting the Cast Off

I bolted up in bed in a cold sweat. It was just a dream. Chill out. I told myself as I leaned against the headboard and looked at the clock to see that it was 8:23 AM. I had just had yet another dream about creepy vampire guy again for the third time this week, only in my dream, the pack didn't save me. Since when do I get this worked up over some stupid vampire attack? I thought as I climbed out of bed, grabbed my crutches and made my way into the bathroom. I turned the cold water in the sink on and splashed my face with it a little. I reached over and was drying my face with a towel when I heard a knock on my bedroom door.

"Who is it?" I called out.

"It's Jacob." I heard Jacob's sweet voice as he called back. Then came Paul's answer;

"Just open the stupid door!" I went back into the room. 

"It's open." I called back as I flopped backward onto the bed. I heard it open and Jacob walk in. As soon as he entered the room, I smelled the aroma of coffee. I smiled and sat up to see him holding two cups of coffee.

"Well aren't you a savior!" I said as I looked at him with a smile. He laughed at me as he handed me one of the coffee cups. I accepted it and took a sip. I sighed in content as the hot liquid went down my throat.

"So, what's up?" I asked after I had had a couple more drinks of coffee. Jacob was sitting in one of the chairs at the table by the door and was looking at me and Paul was leaning against the wall.

"Nothing really." He replied.

"Okay. Any word about the other new borns Sam found?" I asked him.

"We managed to grab one early this morning but he wouldn't give up the location of the other vamps." Paul replied as he pushed himself off the wall and looked around my room, flipping through my books and papers on my desk. I rolled me eyes and sighed.

"What was with the sigh?" Jacob asked curiously.

"Nothing, just that I've been stuck in my room for ages and I'm bored out of my mind!" I sort of yelled at him. Jacob laughed.

"Sorry. But you can't exactly hunt or patrol with that knee of yours." 

"Yeah, I know that...but still. There's nothing to do!" I exclaimed.

"Watch TV." He replied helpfully.

"Ugh, have you watched daytime TV? Now I know why all of those stay at home moms are usually so bitter! They are stuck watching these boring ass shows!" I cried out. He laughed at me.

"Why don't you just watch DVDs on your laptop?" he asked me. I opened my mouth to say something sarcastic, but then closed it.

"That's a good idea. Except I don't have any with me." I said with a smile.
