I lay on the couch with Buddy beside me, sighing as I wake before sunrise. It's hard to sleep since what happened 2 days ago... dad went crazy when he heard what happened, he was hurt no one called him to come home. I told him it was my wishes and people were just respecting that.

Carlisle is making me take at least a week off work - and I hate it. It's only Tuesday and I'm already going insane with boredom. I miss Tessa and her jokes. I miss laugiing at Carlisle as he makes faces at me down the hall. I even miss my father embarrassing me as he checks on me every hour.

I let Buddy into the yard and sit on the porch, sighing. I lean my head against the bench and close my eyes; I must've fallen asleep because I wake up to dad shaking me. "Have you been sleep walking again?" He teases gently.

I stretch as I giggle small. "Nah, Buddy was taking his time and I got bored."

He places a kiss on my head. "Well get inside, silly. Go sleep in your bed for once."

I shake my head and sit up, noticing Bud is asleep under the swing. I gently pick him up and follow dad inside. "I'm okay. I need go pop and see Carlisle later, he's gonna take the stitches out."

Dad frowns. "What time?"

"Quater past none of yo business." I smirk.

Dad glares half playfully, half serious. "You'll moan. It's gonna hurt."

"I'm a big girl, daddy." I giggle as I cuddle Buddy for warmth.

He sighs. "Okay fine."

"And no checking in with him dad. I'm allowed privacy."

He sighs and shakes his head as he leaves, petting Bud before he goes. I smile once he's driven away and go to the kitchen, hungry for the first time in a while; it's only 6am nearly but oh well, I'll eat again later too. That'll please Cullen.

I puff my cheeks out and sigh as I take my toast and coffee to the livingroom, sitting with Buddy as I put Supernatural on - maybe Dean and Sammy can keep me occupied.

I'm so engrossed in the show that when the doorbell rings about 3 episodes later, when the boys have already left for school, I just call out that it's open. I hear foot steps behind me. "Are you okay...?"

It's Embry... "SHHHH!" I hold my hands up; and as usual, the episode ends on a cliff hanger. "Goddammit!!!"

He laughs and sits on the couch as Buddy climbs into my lap and snarls lowly, a warning. "What the hell is this?"

"Excuse me?" I gasp. "Only the greatest show on the entire planet!"

"Clearly not." He rolls his eyes.

I pause the start of the next episode. "Why are you here disturbing my episode?"

"Well I came to see how you are." His eyes flick to the cuts up and down my arms.

I slip my cardigan on shyly. "I'm okay, thank you Embry. I need to learn to tidy up after myself."

"You're one of the cleanest people I know." He frowns.

"Not in the mornings. Left a towel on the bathroom floor." I lie smoothly, like I have to everyone else who's asked.

"Are you okay?" He asks sincerely.

I smile gently at him. "I am, honest. Just dreading having the stitches out later." I sigh.

"Want me to hold your hand?" He smirks.
