Out of the woods

Twenty stitches in a hospital room

The sun beat down on my face prompting me to attempt to move my head into the shade. Big mistake. Firstly, my head pounded something fierce, the movement only making it worse. Secondly, my whole body felt as if it was lit by flames. I was consumed by fever. It's safe to assume there's no shade in this room. Where exactly is this room though? The cabin I was staying at was in the middle of the forest, surrounded by trees, there's no way the sun could shine so brightly there. Am I back in Los Angeles?

You might have to open your eyes to know that, dumbo, a voice whispers to me.

Great. Not only does my head hurt, but now I'm hearing voices too. It has a point though, I need to open my eyes to figure out where I am.

I open my eyes, and look straight at the most chiseled abdominal muscles I have ever seen. I may be a 7 time Grammy winner, but I am still a 22 year old woman. I can still appreciate a fine male specimen.

That's when I realise, that this one is far from fine. He lies in what seems to be a hospital bed, and on that note, so do I. The difference between him and me, is that he has about 20 stitches across the top of those abdominal muscles I was previously admiring. How was I so caught up I didn't notice earlier?

I try to sit up, but am hit by a wave of nausea. Maybe that's not such a good idea. I scan around the room. It has a large window in front of me, the two hospital beds, each with a small coffee table beside them, and a wooden door separating the beds. The room is painted pale yellow, and feels like summer, in the middle of December. Where the hell am I? This doesn't look like any hospital I've ever been in. I lift my head slightly, it hurts but it's bearable, and peer out of the window. At first I am blinded by the sun, but after a few moments my eyes adjust and I see that this place I am in, seems to be situated in a meadow or on the verge of the woods. Maybe this is a local hospital or doctors practice?

I hear a sound to my right. "Water." He croaks, his voice hoarse.

I look over at him, meeting his dark brown eyes. For a moment, the world freezes and I can hear my heartbeat in my ears. I blink and it ends. I try to sit up, but fall back down again, still feeling too faint.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you." I respond.

I think I might need some water too. I seem to be displaying all the signs of a concussion. What happened to me?

He groans, and closes his eyes. He seems to be concentrating on something. Maybe he doesn't know where we are either.

Before I can think any further, the door slams open, making me jump. A boy of about 17 rushes in. He looks at me briefly before striding over to the other patient. Must be a family member. They have the same bone structure, sharp jaw bones, brown eyes and tan skin.

"Jacob!" He exclaims excitedly. "I really thought you went ahead and died this time bro. I'm glad you're healing."

'Jacob' as it seems he is called, just huffs and looks away from the excited teen.

"Hey sorry to interrupt but where am I and who are you?" I ask, impatiently. It was kind of rude of them to ignore me like that.

"Oh!" The teen seems shocked by my presence. "I'm sorry I forgot you were here." He blushes and looks away ashamedly.

"And where exactly would 'here' be?"

"In the pa- tribe doctors house, miss Taylor."

"Do you know how I got here?"

"You had a snowmobile accident, we found you and Jacob in the woods. I'm Seth, by the way." He rambles.

"Hey Seth." I smile at him. "How long have I been here? Do my parents know?"

"I'm sorry I don't know. I just came to see Jacob. I could call the doctor for you?"

"That would be great thanks."

"Not yet." Jacob speaks for the first time.

We both look at him.

Seth bows his head and quickly leaves. I look at his retreating figure in shock. Why did he leave? Why did Jacob look angry? Why doesn't he want me to see the doctor. Something is wrong here.

Hey guys thanks for reading, if anyone does read this or else it's just awkward. I know this is a bit strange I was reading a werewolf story here on wattpad and then Taylors new song Out Of The Woods came on and it sounds like such a werewolfey song and voila! Inspiration hit me. Taylor Swift dated Taylor Lautner aka Jacob Black and here is my first fan fiction chapter ever I hope you like it

I realise that Taylor is a real person with real feelings so in no way do I ship her with Taylor Lautner it's none of my business her feelings are her own this is just fiction
