Running with the Wolves

Chapter 14

I am awoken by the home phone ringing. I groan before I get myself out of bed. I get dressed and I brush my tangled hair. I walk out and see a sad Emily hanging the phone up.

"Em, what happened?" I ask, obviously concerned.

"Jacobs hurt, come on." Emily says.

We leave the house in a hurry and get in Emily's Jeep. She speeds down the road towards Jacobs. Paul smiles in relief when I leap out of her truck.

"He's gonna be okay." He tells me. "Carlisle is in there now. He has to re-break his ribs in order for him to heal."

I nod. "Are you okay?"

He kisses my cheek. "I'm fine, Vi."

I hear Jacob scream and I actually flinch. I almost feel the pain. Bella's truck slams to a stop when Carlisle steps out of Jacob's house. I sigh as he says Jacob is asking for Bella. She is playing with then guys feelings while she is always going to choose Edward.

Paul and I head home and Anne hugs me before Paul. Paul fakes hurt and he just smiles. We go upstairs and I change into something a tad more comfy.

I go downstairs and I sit on the couch. I turn the tv on and I flip through the channels. Paul goes to the kitchen to actually help Anne cook dinner for tonigh. I find Full House and I leave it. I smile at Jessie before I snuggle under the quilt draped on the back of the couch.

Paul joins me and I decide to snuggle against him. He wraps his arm around me and he kisses the top of my head. I smell the roast in the crock-pot before Anne comes to join us watching television.

"How was your night at Emily's?" Anne asks.

"Interesting." I smile. "I learned how to bake. Well, I'm learning. Emily is teaching me."

Anne smiles. "That's great. Well, I gotta check the roast."

Paul and I join her in the kitchen when the food is done. We sit across from each other and Anne sits at the end of the table. She smiles as we all begin to eat.

"I like being here." I smile.

Anne eyes my stomach before Paul and I go upstairs. I climb in the bed beside Paul and I snuggle against him. He kisses my forehead and wraps an arm around me. I close my eyes and I let sleep take over.
