Twilight Fire and Ice

Jessica VS Sophia

That evening my father and sister came to visit me. They were both relieved that I had finally pulled out of my coma and were questioning Carlisle about when I could go home. He explained that he wanted to keep me overnight, one last time, to make sure my vitals stay stabilized. Then the next morning, if everything held to his standards they would take me to school and I would be going back home with Bella.

My father was happy and even explained to me that if I had any trouble taking care of myself it would be fine with him if I came back to the Cullen's. Carlisle agreed to this.

After dinner -which Esme was too kind to cook for us- my sister and father said good bye and left to go home for the night.

The next morning Esme woke me up and said Carlisle had left for work but I was okay to go to school. She and Rosalie helped me into the oversized shower where I slowly, but surely bathed myself. When I had finished they helped me out and assisted in drying me off.

Alice popped up shortly after and they helped me into Alice's large bedroom where she had several outfits laid out. I picked the dark denim with the hot pink shirt and the cropped black leather jacket. Alice even matched the outfit with a cute pair of heeled ankle boots. But I couldn't really wear them because they arched my feet and threw off my natural bone structure - which was one of the things Carlisle told me I couldn't do. So instead, I added on hot pink converse.

When I had finished getting dressed I was taken downstairs to eat. Then it was time to go. All of Carlisle and Esme's kids were waiting in their oversized garage. Everyone but Edward.

"You can ride with Ben, today." Alice said as her and Jasper got into the back of Emmett's large jeep. Rosalie was in the passenger seat.

Ben had just started the engine to his truck. I had to cover my ears as it roared to life. He stepped down out of the truck and came around to open the passenger side. After he helped me inside he put my wheelchair in the truck bed.

"Nice ride." I said as she slid inside and shut the door.

He gave me a tight-lipped smile as he shifted the gear into reverse and started backing out.

"So, who is Edward riding with?" I asked as we turned out of the garage.

I glanced in the wing mirror to see Emmett's massive jeep following close behind us. But there was no third car. Where was Edward?

"My brother is out of the state... visiting some relatives." Ben replied.

I nodded my head and sat back in my seat. It wasn't until I glanced out the windows did I realize how fast he was going.

"Um, maybe you should slow down. The roads are pretty slick."

"This I know." He replied, his tone hard.

"I just got out of a coma, Ben, and I would like to not return." My tone was just as hard.

"Calm down, princess, you will be safe with me. Look," he nodded out the window, "We have safely arrived at our destination."

"Prick." I muttered, as I crossed my arms.

"Bitch." He replied.

I glanced sideways at him. "Did I offend you or something?" I asked.

He parked as close to the building as he could and shut off the engine. Turning to me he narrowed his eyes, his forehead creasing in the center.

"You called me a prick." He finally said.

"You called me a bitch."

He chuckled, "Only after you called me a prick," he grinned.

"Because you were being one!" I snapped.
