Annabella Cullen

~Chapter thirty-three~

It's been a month since my accient, due to my fast healing bones, my ankle and arm are in braces and my leg has a boot. My leg was not healing as face though. I was way too happy to be out of the hospital, mom was unwilling to let me go to school, though I soon persuaded her. Today was my first day back, I had the hopes of staying in the shadows, but of course being gone for about 2 months really does go by noticed.

    Parker and Renesmee were constantly with me. They were my body guard, though they did not allow me to call them that. "Neither of us is in your next class," complained Nessie. "Well you both have choir," I pointed out, considering I was a band geek. Parker stuck her tongue out at me, as Baileh came up. "Can I be of assistance?" he asked, looking hopeful. "Yes, you can be, Bai. You are in my band class," I told him. I nodded to Nessie and Parker, as they took off in a different direction.

     I turned to Baileh and asked, "Ready to go?" He nodded and we began to walk to the band room. "I feel really bad for you and my mom," Baileh began to say. "It's fine Bai. How's your mom doing?" I asked. "Fine, I mean she is lucky she didn't end up in a coma," was Baileh reply. We entered the band room before more could be said. Band went by face, I couldn't play my clarinet since my left arm was broken. I had the funniest time writing with my none dominant hand. My right hand was failing at writing.

     When the end of band came, I stood up quickly. I wasn't in the mood for geometry, but I headed there as quickly as my boot allowed me. Renesmee was waiting outside the door for me. "How was band?" she questioned, while we walked into the room. "Fine," I replied, taking a seat. Class began and the teacher became inaudible as I floated into my thoughts. I was writing down the notes, but I could not see, nor could I hear the teacher. I felt weird, detached from my body. The bell rang, snapping me back to my body fully.

     I cleaned up my stuff, but as I stood,l felt the world spin around me. I felt myself fall and the world went black.

I awoke to a white ceiling above me. I heard mumbling voices near me and I identified my father's voice amongst the two. I rubbed my right hand over my eyes and found myself to be in the nurses office. I groaned, I found my dad over me in an instant. "Thank god you're awake," he said, meaning it. "You honestly think I might have gone back into a coma?" I asked, my voice hoarse. He shrugged, and brought a bottle of water out from behind his back. "Drink," he instructed. I took it and took a swig from it.

     I coughed a little, chocking on the water, and told my dad, "I think it's the pain meds, they aren't really made for kid my age." Dad nodded and then gestured me to try standing. I gently brought my feet over the side of the bed. Carefully, I set my feet on the ground and stood up. No dizziness emerged so I was happy. Dad took my hand and led me to the office, where he instructed me to sit in a chair.

     Taking a seat, I pulled out my phone and found 14 messages from mom. I rolled my eyes and sent a reply:

Mom, I am awake and fine. I will be home soon. Luv, Annie!

     There was a 15th message but this one was from a concerned Seth, grinning I replied:

Everything's fine Seth, I am awake, don't get your tail in a knot! :)

     Giggling at the last part, I replaced my phone, and saw my dad ready to leave. I stood carefully and walked with Dad out to his Volvo. My phone buzzed and I pulled it out to see it saying New Multimedia Message. It was from Seth. I opened it and busted out laughing. Seth had taken a rope and tied a knot into it, under the picture it read:

Too Late, it's already been knotted. Hahaha :D

     "What are you laughing at?" demanded dad, coming over to my phone. Seeing the message he snickered, shaking his head. "Oh Seth," he muttered, returning to the driver side door. Dad threw my backpack in the back seat before getting in, I jumped in the passenger-side. Buckling myself in, I stared out the window the entire ride home. Dad nor I in the mood to speak to each other. When we pulled up to the house, I was all too grateful to be home.

     Well up until mom came streaming out, picking me up. "God, Annabella you scared the heck out of me! Don't ever do that again," she cried out. "Yes, mom, I promise to control my faints for now on," I told her, a smile playing on my lips. She looked almost ready to slap me, but instead kissed my head. Setting me down, she led me into the house. Fortunately almost everyone was on a hunt, so I did not have to worry about a crowd swarming me.

     I felt a smile on my face as I saw Seth awaiting me on the stairs. I hobbled over to him and he picked me up in an over-whelming embrace. "I am gonna have to start hurting you everytime you get hurt just to keep you in line," teased Seth, kissing my head. I shook my head, kissing his cheek. He carried me up to my room and gently set me on my bed. I sat up as he sat down next to me.

     "You know I worry about you constantly?" Seth questioned. I nodded, wondering if there was a meaning behind his words. He shifted slightly on the bed, seeming unsure of what to say next. "Annie, I just want you to stop being like your mom, I guess. I have heard all her stories and the out comes that she faced were very severe and I am not as hard to kill as your father is."

     Shaking my head, I told him, "Seth, you're a super hero as it is. You save me from doubting myself. You help me through my problems, when I need someone other than my mom or dad. I can't help that my mother's genes are in me, I promise to be more careful. I love you." Seth crawled across the bed and lay on the pillow beside me. 

     "As I to you," Seth said, "you're my imprint and I have learned with that comes responsibilities, I will protect you all I can. I will try not to harm you, and I can be your hero baby." I pushed Seth as he started to sing Hero. Snickering, he slipped his hand into mine. We stared up at the ceiling, enjoying a moment of sanity.

     "These moments need to be cherished," I mummbled drowsily. 

     "Of course they are, at least by me. A moment of silence is all it takes to release the days tensions," said Seth, thoughtfully. I giggled and looked over at him. His hair fell in his face, in need of a cut. His face was curved into a slight smile, his eyes half closed.

     "Take a picture, it will last longer," he teased, opening his eyes slightly more. Giggling, I shook my head. Seth's dark brown eyes gazed at me quizzically. "You know you're beautiful, right?" he pandered. Smiling, I kissed him on the cheek, signaling the answer to that question as a yes. He smiled, nodding as if in approval.

     We laid next to each other, holding hands. Soon tiredness over took me and I was enveloped in darkness. Good dreams danced in my mind as I slept peacefully.
