I don't gripe when Emily helps me get dressed, because my leg is really sore this morning. I brush my own hair when she has my shirt over my head and my sneaker on my well foot. I grab my forearm crushes and I struggle to get to the wheelchair.

"Lets get you home." Emily coaxed.

"My home was in Fork." I scowl.

"Paul went to Forks and got it back for you." Emily yells. "Jared and Kim are moving in with you, to help."

"I like those two, so that's fine." I reply.

We go to Sam's, so everyone can see me. I use my crutches and I struggle to get up the stairs, but I make it. Jared hops up when e sees me and helps me to the couch.

"That is why Kim and I are moving in with you." Jared grumbles and grabs a pink sharpie. "I'm signing it, you should have known I would."

Jared signs; Jared Cameron, your other half, your best friend. I ought to kick your ass for driving sad..... I ought to kick Emily's good cooking ass for making you sad. Love ya, Brandi. Hurry and heal so we can wrestle.

I burst out laughing at what Jared put on my cast. Kim and Emily read it as laugh too. Emily's face is, however, unreadable and her laugh was shaky.

"Where's Sam?" I ask.

"Patrol." Jared replies. "I'll get you a new car, when your leg is heeled. You're riding with me until then."

"I'll drive my car to and from school while Jared is your cab." Kim smirks.

I sigh. "Okay."

Sam walks in and he smiles at me. "Hey, B. You sore, hungry?"

"I'm kind of hungry." I reply.

"I'll cook." Emily hops to and goes to the kitchen.

"Jared, hand me my crutches." I say softly.

Jared does as asked, and I make my way to te kitchen. Rachel pulls me a chair out and helps me sit. Emily hands me a plate with chili dogs in it, and I just smile. I always loved this meal when mama was alive.

"I always loved this meal when mama was alive." I grin.

"I remember." Emily whispers before eating some herself.

"I forgive you Emily." I say to her. "Paul!"

"Yeah?" Paul asks, jogging into the kitchen.

"I forgive you too." I smile back at him.

"I told you she'd forgive you." Emily coos.

I finish eating and I grab my crutches. I make my way slowly back to the living room and I sit beside Paul on the loveseat. I rest my head on his shoulder and I watch tv.

"I'm dreading school tomorrow."

"I'm in your classes." Rachel smiles. "I promise to help with your books and locker."

"And my lunch?" I ask.

"I'll help with that." Jared says. "Paul will just love you forever."

I blush when he says that about Paul, and Paul's chest vibrates along with his laughter. I slap his chest before I make way to the bathroom, and I begin struggling.

"Emily!!!" I yell. "I need help!"   

Emily helps me with what I need done in the bathroom, and I struggle outside and down the stairs. Jared helps me in his truck, so I'm not stubborn enough to try it alone.

My house looks beautiful wth its stuff in it. I just got done struggling to get unaffected alone, and I am in my room. I just strip to my undergarments and put a black robe on, because I don't want help getting dressed and that's how I'll have to do it.

I plop on my bed, laying flat on my back. I let out a yawn as my eyes begin to grow heavy. I close my eyes, and I let sleep take over.
