His Saving Grace

thirteen

I never really thought much of being killed or bitten by any enemy of Dad's. I never really thought of anything bad really happening when all I ever did was stay in the house and be the good child to vampires.

It's been rough living in a house of vampires cause anything could happen. I could trip and cut myself and Jasper could kill me by accident. Or Emmett could be messing around and bear hug me and crush me into pieces. Anything could happen and I never really thought about how careful the family was when I came into the family.

So when I wake up to a blinding light. I close my eyes again then try to sit up. When my body doesn't allow me to sit up I start to panic and my heart monitor goes wild.

"Hey!" Emmett's voice rings through the panic. I look at him with tears in my eyes.

"I can't feel my legs." I start sobbing and the weight of everything crashes down. Emmett sits down in the hospital chair beside me and tries to calm me down. The door opens to reveal Dad in his hospital uniform. His face falls when he sees my broken state.

"Oh Grace." He says going over all that he needs to go over. "Do you want me to break the news to you now? Or when the family is in here?"

"When the family is in here." I whisper while whipping the tears off of my cheeks. He kisses my forehead then nods.

"I'll go get them." I nod my head then take the oxygen tub off of my face.

"I think you are supposed to have that." Emmett says amused and concerned at the same time.

I pout when he puts it back on my face. He touches my cheeks then tears forms in his eyes. "Emmett." I say taking his hand in mine.

"I thought we lost you." He says when tears slip down my cheeks. He whips them off and kisses my hand. "When Alice called saying you ran off. I didn't know what to think. And then you weren't answering your phone. Why did you go to them?"

"Victoria called my phone saying they would kill Paul or harm him. And I didn't really think of him being a werewolf and I panicked. I didn't want anything to happen to him." I say when tears slip down my face. "I was willing to risk anything to save him." Before he could say anything the family walks in.

I let go of his hand so he can stand beside Rosalie. Mom walks to me and runs her hand through my hair. "Oh my baby." She says with tears forming in her eyes that will never fall. Rosalie comes over and takes my hand in her cold ones.

"You scared us big time Gracie." Jasper says frowning.

"What's wrong with me?" I whisper tears forming in my eyes.

Dad sits down on the side of the bed and takes my hand in his. The rest of the family gathers around. Dad takes a deep breath while Edward's face falls.

"When James threw you across the room and you landed on your back. It broke when you fell and you're paralyzed from the waist down." I close my eyes and as a sob racks through my body. "You've broken your arm and you will have the bite he left forever." I don't say anything not being able to speak through the tears.

"Am I paralyzed forever?" I ask.

"We don't know. You had a surgery when you came in. We all hope it will do some good." Dad says.

"I want to go home." I say when new tears form in my eyes.

"Grace we were thinking." Rosalie says. "That maybe it would be safer for you if you moved to a different family."

"What!? You can't get rid of me. Come on you guys this was my fault I'm the one that didn't think twice about Paul being what he is. This is my fault. I'm not leaving you." I say hysterically crying.

Mom stands up and walks out the door. "Grace it's happening." Emmett says.

"You're just gonna get rid of me? After everything we've been through and the one time I get hurt I have to leave? What about Bella she's just as much human as I am."

"Don't bring her into this." Edward growls.

"I have every damn right to bring her into this Edward Cullen. You are trying to get rid of me!" I yell at him. "I've been here for seventeen fucking years! I've been in this fucking family my entire life!"

They flinch at my cuss words. The siblings don't say anything and do everything they can to not meet my eyes. "Why would you keep me this long knowing something would happen? Why get rid of me now? You could have sent me to a family the moment I was born. But now because I'm paralyzed you want to send me away because a tracker vampire attacked me." Edward doesn't meet my eyes. "And I'm shocked Edward. You of all people."

I look out the window of the hospital room as tears slip down my cheeks. I hear the door slam shut. I look to find Edward gone. I shake my head and lean into the pillow. The rest of the family follows him. Carlisle checks on me before going out to the family.

"Where is she!" I hear a very familiar voice shout through the hallway. "Where is she?"

"She's in here." Carlisle's calm voice says. I look to the door when it opens to reveal a panic stricken Paul.

"Paul." I say when another sob racks through my body. Paul walks towards me sits down on the bed and whips the tears off of my cheek. "They want to get rid of me." I say sobbing. Paul looks at me with sad eyes. "Me."

He pushes me over then climbs on the bed beside me. I snuggle my face into his chest and sob. He runs his hands through my hair and doesn't say anything.

"Looks like we are both on our own." Paul says breaking the silence.

"Sadly." I say. "I'm paralyzed."

He freezes completely and looks down to me. I look into his eyes that are now filling with tears. "What?"

I nod my head with a frown. He kisses my forehead and hugs me tightly to his chest. Its silent until I feel tears fall onto my head. After a few minutes Paul and I calm down so we talk while watching Harry Potter on my laptop. He stands up after the movie is over.

"I have to go patrol. You want me to bring anything back?" He asks grabbing his keys.

"A book?" I ask smiling.

"Harry Potter?" He asks with a smile. I nod my head. He kisses my forehead then walks out of the room.

I turn on the last Harry Potter movie and watch it while waiting for his return. I look up when the door opens. Carlisle and Esme walk in with emotionless faces. I pause the movie and look at them.

"We are not giving you up." Esme says sitting in the chair beside my bed. "We realized how we took this event was unnecessary."

"Really?" I ask shocked. She nods her head. She looks toward Carlisle who nods his head. She walks out the door and to wherever she came from.

"I never asked. Is Bella alright?" I ask him remembering my brother's girlfriend.

"Yes. She's devastated, but she's ok." Carlisle says walking to me and checking over everything. "You will be here for a few days. Then we will start physical therapy to get your strength ready for the wheel chair."

I nod my head. "Alice is gonna come in here in a few minutes and help you with your shower."

"Thanks." I say with a small smile. He nods his head then leaves. I look around the empty hospital room and sigh. I grab my laptop and start the movie back on. I sob silently at all the deaths that happen and sob with Hermione when Harry goes off to the forbidden forest.

I look up when Alice walks in with a bag in her hands. "Let's get that shower."
