MORTAL LIABILITY Chapter 31

Chapter 31

My eyes opened a little bit, I squeezed them shut again, hoping for more sleep. My head ached and my stomach felt numb. I felt heavier too, I was too hot. My left palm almost burned. I moved a little and then realized that it wasn’t me, something was weighing me down. I opened my eyes. It took my eyes a ( Read more... )

MORTAL LIABILITY Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Jacob POV:
She lay -sleeping- next to me, both her hands held on to one of mine; she hugged it tight to her chest. Her hands were cold, I guess it didn’t matter how hot my skin was; her temperature would always be colder. I listened to her breathing; I could faintly hear her heart beating steadily. Her face ( Read more... )

MORTAL LIABILITY Chapter 29

Chapter 29
Natalie POV
The snow crunched under my feet as I walked down the isles of grave stones. I stopped at one, a simple stone plaque on the ground; I stared at it for a moment, and then got down on my knees. I wiped the rest of the snow off of it to read the words carved into it. And so I found it. My hand froze over ( Read more... )

MORTAL LIABILITY Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Natalie POV:

For the next four hours I avoided talking to any of the Cullens, Edward didn’t seem to want to talk to me…or it could be because I was never in the same room as he was. I saw Alice a lot, she didn’t like Jacob, either that, or she didn’t like Jacob with me. Esme was sweet about it, as I thought she ( Read more... )

MORTAL LIABILITY

Chapter 27

Natalie POV:
I sat in a chair across the room from my brother; motionless in the hospital bed; my hands curled into fists. I held back from shrieking with anger, I just glared harshly towards him. I gritted my teeth. His lifeless face had a couple bandages over stitched up cuts. I stood and walked over to his side; I ( Read more... )

MORTAL LIABILITY Chapter  25

Chapter 26

Natalie POV

It was the Friday before Christmas; I for one was holding back my hysteria while Bella…was in denial. Bella sat next to Edward on the piano bench while he played. I hummed along quietly to a familiar tune. Anthony sat next to me on one of the living room couches. I stared at my guitar; which leaned ( Read more... )

Chapter 25

Natalie POV:

It was Saturday now; naturally I was still exited about my scheme to get Jacob and Bella to talk to each other. I hadn’t seen Bella since last night. And I was surprised Jacob didn’t find me yet. I was at work. He usually found me here.
“Get me a frozen hot chocolate” I heard Dan call (Dan was a friend of mine from ( Read more... )

Chapter 24

Natalie POV:

I woke up to something icy cold poking me. I kept my eyes closed and tried to ignore Alice. I felt her grab my shoulders and she shook me. My eyes burst open, “Stop it” I moaned.
“Wake up, you’ll be late for school” she warned, letting go of me. I craned my neck to look at my clock, I moaned.
“Alice, I have three hours!” I ( Read more... )

MORTAL LIABILITY Chapter 23

“How long will you be?” Anthony questioned me from the kitchen.
“Not long, trust me” I called back
“Where are you going?”
“Just on a run” I answered while I walked through the door. I began to run when I reached the river.

I ran to Bella’s house and started to run on a hiking trail. I usually ran every Saturday. It was ( Read more... )

Chapter 22

Natalie POV:

Two months had passed now, Christmas break had brought a lot of excitement into my friends and fellow students. But I was exited for a different reason; this would actually be my first real Christmas. The past couple months were the happiest ones in a long time. I was truly happy. Anthony (Alice preferred to call him Andy) ( Read more... )
