Chapter 2
Loss

I touched my uncle’s hand lightly. I had never seen a dead body before; he had died while the doctors were working on him. I was shaking as I sat down and took his bruised hand, holding it. It was already growing cold.
“Good bye.”
I noticed a reflection in one of the monitors and turned, tears in my eyes as I looked up at Dr. Cullen. I turned and looked back at my uncle.
“Do you have anywhere to stay?”
I shook my head slowly.
“Both sets of grandparents are dead. My father was an only child, my mom is going to be dead soon…I have to go down to the hospital in Port Angeles to have them pull the plug, and Uncle Michael was her only sibling.”
His cold hand rested on my shoulder.
“Then perhaps it is best that you stay with my family, you already know our secret and Jasper and Alice are fond of you. And I’ll help with the arrangements. Don’t worry about money.”
“Thank you Doctor Cullen, you are very kind.”
“Well…you’ve captured both Jasper and Alice, both of them care for you deeply, that makes you as good as family.”
I smiled softly before standing.
“I…I should go home and pack. I…I don’t think I can stay there tonight…class=GramE>I…”
“You don’t have to explain.”
I walked with Carlisle into the waiting room where Sheriff Swan was sitting with his daughter and the Cullen children along with Dr. Cullen’s wife Esme. Esme came over to me and hugged me. I let the tears fall for a moment before Jasper stood. The two of us walked to Edward’s Volvo. We drove in silence. We entered the house in silence, and he helped me pack in silence.
I wasn’t ready to deal with any of this. I hadn’t even gotten over my mother’s loss and now I was completely alone. Halfway through packing my legs gave way, but Jasper caught me before I could fall. He sat me on the bed and simply held me as I let go of all the frustration and pain of the day. I fell into a restless sleep as he held me.
I woke up in a soft, warm bed that was three times the size of my bed at my uncle’s (which was good because I was too tall for my bed and my feet would always hang off). I sat up slowly and saw that Jasper was sitting at the foot of the bed.
“How long have I been out?”
“Since seven yesterday…it’s been twenty one hours.” My eyes got wide at that.
“It’s three in the afternoon?”
“Yes.”
I crawled over to Jasper and curled up in his arms again. I didn’t care that he was cold; it was a comfort to have someone’s arms around me. I looked up at him, a blush covering my cheeks. I hadn’t realized how close I was before, not until our noses brushed.
“Jazz…I…”
Our lips touched lightly and I felt electricity running through me. It was simple, soft, short…but I had needed it, and something told me that he had needed it as well. A low growl filled the room and my blush became deeper.
“You are hungry. Esme bought some food, let’s go find you something.”
I followed him to the kitchen and grabbed a shiny red apple, a soft smile on my face. He watched me eat in silence. I looked up with a soft frown.
“Where is everyone?”
“Esme is with Carlisle…they are…taking care of funeral preparations. The others are at school. They should be home soon.”
I had missed a day of school…it was Friday…I had a bunch of tests.
“Carlisle called in and told them what happened, you aren’t expected back until after the funeral. He told them that I was keeping you company so I’ll be out until you go back to school. Emmett and Rosalie will collect the work for us though.”
I nodded softly and looked down.
“I…don’t know if I can pull the plug anymore. If I do…then I’ll be the last of the James family left. I’ll be alone…completely alone…”
Strong arms wrapped around me.
“You’ll never be alone again. I’ll be here, and so will Alice…and Emmett and Rosalie and Edward and Carlisle and Esme.”
“But you’ll end up leaving as well, just like everyone else did.”
A soft laugh sounded in my ear.
“Oh come on, you know I’m a vampire…” I hadn’t used the word even though I knew since the day Edward saved Bella. “I don’t die easily.”
I turned slowly in his arms.
“But you’ll still leave when I get older, you’ll probably all think that I’ll be better off around others like me and then you’ll all pack up one night while I’m asleep and leave me.”
“I’m not going anywhere, and even if the others leave I will remain.”
My heart rate was slowly picking up.
“Why? Why would you stay?”
“Because…I’ve been falling in love with you since that first day I saw you…and now…now there is no way for me to leave you.”
“You…love me?”
“Yes.”
I gasped as his lips touched mine again, this time a bit deeper than before. He pulled away quickly, looking towards the door.
“The others are on the drive. Why don’t you get cleaned up and dressed. I’m sure the warm water will feel good after yesterday.”
I nodded softly and headed back to the room that was my new bedroom, there was a door that led to a large closet where all my things were already set up. I grabbed a shirt and pants before heading to the other door in the room that held a shower. I brushed my teeth before taking a long hot shower. I let my wet hair lay against my shoulders after combing it, and then I pulled on some shoes and headed downstairs.
Alice came over to me and gave me a hug. I kissed the top of her head and smiled softly.
“We’re all here for you Adrian, you are part of the family now, officially if you want…”
I frowned softly.
“Officially?”
Jasper winced before speaking.
“You’re still only seventeen; legally…you have to have a guardian. Carlisle wants to adopt you. None of us want to risk you ending up in some foster home somewhere…we want you here with us.”
“What is so special about me that you all want me around, I mean…you’re all vampires and I’m human…why would you want me here?”
Edward was the one to speak. “Because we can all relate to you, we’ve all been through what you have been through.”
I nodded softly and sat down on the couch, my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands. Jasper sat beside me and rubbed my back slowly, comforting me.
***********************************
I looked down at my mother and kissed her forehead. I turned to look at the doctor and gave a nod. The doctor pushed a button and I held my mother’s hand as she died.
Several days later I stood before a mirror, dressed in a suit with a black shirt and tie under it. Jasper came up behind me and rested a hand on my shoulder. We left in silence and drove in silence to the cemetery in Port Angeles. It was lucky that it was cloudy or else I would have been forced to do this alone. I had seen Jasper in the sunlight, and I knew that the Cullens could not join me in the sunlight if others were around.
I went through the motions, putting flowers on the coffins of my mother and uncle. They had been twins…so it was fitting that they be buried together. Bella was there, holding hands with Edward. She had found out about the secret on her own. Sheriff Swan was also there. And as the last of my family were placed in the ground…I officially became a member of the Cullen family.
Esme had made the house beautiful for the party afterwards. I didn’t know why you would have a party after someone died; it seemed…backwards to me. I accepted flowers and condolences and at midnight Jasper and I retired to my room. I curled up under the covers against his side while he lay above the covers so that I did not get cold. I fell asleep to the feel of his hands running through my hair.
****************************************
Things went back to being as normal as they could be. I would be graduating soon and then Jasper and I would go ‘backpacking’ through Europe, or at least that was the general idea.
I stretched slowly and purred softly when I looked up at Jasper’s beautiful face. He truly was my angel.
I had lost so much, my entire family, and at the same time…I had gained a beautiful angel to call my own.

I know it is shorter than the first, but it seemed right to have this chapter be shorter. The next should be longer. If you have any ideas for possible conflict than let me know!
