Chapter 45

"EMMETT I DON'T KNOW YOUR MIDDLE NAME CULLEN WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT EATING MY FOOD!"

"YOU'RE BEING UNREASONABLE! YOU ALWAYS GET TO EAT HUMAN FOOD AND IT'S NOT FAIR!"

The scream fest was cut short when Jasper quickly caught me out of the air after my attempt to leap over the couch at Emmett. 

"Jas, get him. He's being mean and taking my food," I looked up at him with a pout. 

"It's not like I get to enjoy it! I just chew on it and spit it out. I miss eating real food. You're just being greedy." Emmett pouted back. 

My gaze went back to my fiance who was trying desperately not to laugh. "Well darlin' he's got a point." I squinted at him. "Or maybe not." 

I sighed, looking back at the big hulk of vampire. "I forgive you, but one more thing. BETH DIES!" The gasp that was released from his mouth was so loud birds probably flew away. 

"How could you?! You told me we could just skip that episode!" He referred to FRIENDS. I quickly pulled Jasper in front of my body, smiling sweetly. 

It had been a day since Jared had come to visit, and oddly enough his presence had made me feel somewhat better. But it still didn't feel the achy hole in my chest from the one person I was missing most of all. 

Paul.

The thought of him immediately made my throat grow a lump from trying not to cry. I missed my best friend. Being away from him has always been hard but knowing that I had hurt him is far worse. 

"You're thinking of him again," Jasper southern voice filled my ears like a beautiful song. I nodded and he pulled me close, nudging his face into my neck and pressing fluttery kisses onto my skin. "I would say that I don't know how you feel but that'd be a lie." 

His comment made me giggle and sink further into his embrace. "I just miss him." 

You know when there's a defining moment, and everything is so serene and calming you almost don't expect anything bad to happen? 

Those never last very long. 

So quickly things can go from good to bad, and it's almost as though life will just be a bunch of little moments followed by awful big ones. It started perfect; sweet cuddles and whispered words between Jasper and me, the rest of the family watching Edward and the beautiful Resume (I'm jk y'all I had to) Renesmee, and the soft sound of music flowing through the air. 

Until one vision, one dropped vase, one piano no longer playing, and then me. All so fast.

My sight blurred over as an immeasurable amount of heat flooded my body despite Jasper being so cold. "Jas?" Emmett quickly gave him a bucket just in time for me to spill anything from my body into as I threw up aggressively.

It racked through my body. Harsh and fast like ocean waves, and the smell of blood quickly became apparent to even my human nose. It hurt, my insides felt like they were clenching as if to drain any bit of blood or sustenance. 

It lasted an hour this time. With 2 hours of rest after blacking out. Music no longer played and worry filled the Cullen home like thick humidity.

"So you're telling me that old, dramatic vampires are coming to kill us because they think Nessie is an immortal child and that's against the law?" Everyone nodded. "Wait a sec, who even voted them to be the vampy kings anyway? Just because they're a million years old or something they just decided one day they get to rule the vampire kingdom and basically now just sit on their butts all day, have their food brought to them like the old guys they are, and point fingers at people to execute. And everyone just lets them play royalty? Y'all are weird." 

My ranting ended as soon as Bella and Edward walked back into the room and I bent over to puke again. 

"Jasper she can't stay here. I think it's we're making it worse." I could hear Carlisle's voice murmuring to my mate softly. 

"What do you mean?"

"She has Paul's blood in her. Her body is desperately trying to rid itself of it but his is too busy trying to find something to cling to due to all of us being near her. Vampires and werewolf blood don't mix well." 

"But she was still getting sick even when she wasn't around us that much," Rosalie spoke up. 

He looked at his son once again, "I think it's going to make her sick either way, but what we know for sure is she wasn't nearly as bad when she wasn't surrounded by us. And with us needing to gather more..." his voice trailed off. 

Jasper looked at me with sullen eyes. "Darlin' please." 

I placed my hand on his face which he leaned into gratefully. "I'm going to be okay." 

Alice came in with a shakey voice, Leah holding her as support. "I've already called Jared. He said he can watch over you when one of us aren't there." 

"And me. I'll help take care of you too Caylee," Seth chimed in. 

"You helped me find my imprint without even realizing it. We're family and we take care of family." Leah followed quickly. 

I looked up at Jasper, who refused to meet my gaze. 

"I'm going home."

For any of you wondering, she isn't leaving the Cullen's forever or something. Because there are gonna be so many vampires coming in and out of the Cullen's house plus them, they don't want it to make it worse. Carlisle has his hands full trying to save literally everyone now not just her. Also because of the Volturi stuff they don't want her around because they don't know about her, and they don't want another Bella situation if that makes sense and put her in even more unnecessary harm. Hope y'all are doing okay. My inbox is always open <3
