A/N: This is my first fanfic and I am very excited to share! Unfortunately, I don't have access to a computer besides my mothers. I'll try to get a new chapter up weekly. I encourage constructive feedback on grammar, spelling, and plot holes. I will take notice and correct them asap. This fic is rated M for a good reason. There will be cursing and lemons. My two favorite things. I know not many people are into OC's but I've been really into it lately, so I'm taking a crack at it. I also changed the timeline to 2018 cause i want my OC to have access to a smartphone. The song that fits the mood of this chapter I felt is Ms Mr - Hurricane. Without Further Adieu (if i spelled that right) my creation! *laughs evilly*

I woke up suddenly not remembering where I was. I looked around and noticed immediately that I was in the back of a police car. What the hell did I do now? I look to the officer driving and I was stumped because he wasn't wearing his uniform, and he had another passenger. A small teen was sitting in the front beside him. I made a noise in my throat to make my presences known.
"ahem, I must have fallen asleep." I said while trying to get a good look at him.
I didn't know what else to say, frankly I was embarrassed not remembering what I had done. I wasn't even hungover, so I must not have been drinking.
"Don't worry Isla, you can sleep if you want. We'll be there in thirty. I'll wake ya when we get there." Now I was even more confused.
"I'm so sorry officer, I have no memory of what I had done." I felt so guilty. He looked at me through the rear-view mirror with a bit of humor in his eyes.
"Well I could think of a few things." And I felt my face go white. I could think of a few things too. Shit, did they have a warrant out for me that I didn't know about? God, my mom is going to freak out when she hears about this.
"will I be able to make my phone call as soon as we get there?" now he looked unamused.
"Isla… as much as I love you kiddo, you can stop with the cop jokes." That floored me. Who the fuck was this guy? Just as the thought passed through my head the girl in the passenger finally spoke.
"Don't worry Isla, I still think you're funny." I was scared. Just then I started crying. What was happening? I didn't know where my mom was, and I was detained in the back of a police cruiser going only god knows where. These people seem to know me, and I was starting to panic.
"Hey, what's the matter kiddo? Why are you crying?" I took a shuttering breath and told him.
"I don't know who you are, where are we going? Where's my mom?" the questions came out in rapid fire. I didn't care, I needed to get out of the car.
"please stop the car, I'm going to be sick. STOP PLEASE." I yelled when he didn't seem to want to stop. The girl got out first while I banged on the door to be let out, the small cab was closing in on me I jumped out when she opened the door, and retched into the trees. The girl came up behind me and pulled my hair back while rubbing small circles into my back, trying to comfort me.
"Its okay Isla, were almost to Charlies then I'll fix you up some soup, okay?"
When I finished I just looked at her, I mean really looked. She had long wavy brown hair that seemed to have some natural red highlights. A heart shaped face with high cheek bones and full lips. She was beautiful, and vaguely familiar.
"How do you know my name?" I ask. The girl just seemed the laugh it off like it was a bad joke. It wasn't funny, I was really upset that I wasn't being taken seriously.
"What? This isn't a joke, I want my phone call. I'm 17 years old stuck in the middle of nowhere with two people I don't even know. Is that guy even a real cop? Was I kidnapped? Am I being sold into trafficking?" when I asked that last question I panicked again and threw up once more.
The girl looked at my shocked. "It's me… Bella? Your cousin? Are you okay? How do you not remember me? Dad!" she called over her shoulder.
"I don't have any cousins named Bella. What the hell is going on!" The girl- Bella- seemed hurt after I had said that. Just then the faux police officer came around the car.
"She gonna be okay, Bells?" He gestured towards me. She shook her head. "Dad, she doesn't know who we are." She looked extremely upset. Which was odd because I was 80% sure we haven't met before. They did look sort of familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Isla honey, you don't remember me?" I just shook my head. They shared a look and started talking quietly to each other. I took the opportunity to look around. Green. Everything was green, where was I? I can hear them talking about taking me to the hospital. I cut them off quickly.
"Could you tell me where I am, and where we were going?"
They stopped to look at looked at me.
The man Charlie spoke up. "You're in Forks, Washington. We were going home, you came here with Bella from Phoenix, Arizona. You're Bella's cousin on her mother's side. You wanted to come and live with us since you mother passed away and Renee couldn't take you in."
Suddenly I couldn't breathe. My mother had died. I was never going to see her again. I don't know who these people are. My hearing became fuzzy like my ears popped and I was in a tunnel. I remember my legs suddenly stopped working and everything went black.
Isla had fainted, and we were trying not to panic.
"Dad, we need to get her to the hospital. She must have amnesia. Are we close?"
Charlie was in the process of trying to pick up my cousin from the wet ground.
"Just help me, she's not light." He grunted. I had grabbed her legs and we walked her to the cruiser to lay her in the back seat. I sat down in the back with her head in my lap. What had happened to her? Everything was fine until she had fallen asleep.
"We're gonna take her to the emergency, its only ten minutes away." Charlie notified me.
When we reached the hospital, Charlie went in to tell the staff we needed a stretcher. The EMT came out and pulled Isla off my lap and carefully placed her onto the gurney. We walked into the waiting room and the most beautiful man I have ever seen walked up to Charlie to talk to him. He was a blonde, pale and had golden eyes. He was holding a chart, he must have been the doctor.
"Come over here, Bells. Dr. Cullen, this is my daughter, Bella. Bella, Doctor Cullen is gonna look over Isla and make sure she's okay. Since you know more about her you can give him some details until she wakes up." I nodded.
"Hello, Bella. I'm just going to ask a few basic questions, I can't ask you anything else for confidentially reasons. What's Isla's full name? and date of birth?"
"Okay, it's Isla Jade Bright. Born April 17th, 2000" He wrote it down while nodding.
"Can you tell me what had happened?"
"um… we were driving to my dad's house from the airport and she fell asleep in the back of the car and when she woke up, she had no clue where she was or who we were. She started panicking so my dad pulled over, she got out and vomited. When we told her that we were coming to live here, she fainted."
He looked up from the chart "Has she ever had any problems with her memory before this?"
I shook my head "no, at least she never told me. She's the least forgetful out of two of us."
"I see, well we're going to be running some tests as soon as she's awake."
"Okay, thank you Dr. Cullen." He smiled and walked away.
I sighed as I sat down in the waiting room. I was saddened by thought of her not ever remembering me again. I hunkered down and waited for her to wake up. Welcome to Forks I guess. We just got here and already a rough start.
I woke up not knowing where I was, again. I looked around and saw I was in a hospital room. First a police car and now a hospital. Hopefully this doesn't become a habit. I sat up and a wave of dizziness washed over me. I quickly laid back down.
"Ugh fuck." I swore.
"Hello Miss Bright, it's good to see you awake" I looked over to the door and saw a blonde hair Adonis coming through with a nurse following behind him.
"I'm Doctor Cullen, this is nurse Williams and we're going to talk to you and hopefully figure out why you have lost your memory" Holy shit he was gorgeous. He was pale and had gold eyes, who had eyes like that? Then I heard him. I lost my memory, I was still in the situation I had hoped was a dream.
"Where am I? did a cop and his daughter happen to bring me here?"
"Yes, your cousin Bella had told us you didn't seem to remember them at all."
I slowly sat up and the nurse came around to help me, adjusting the pillow.
"I-I don't- "I took a deep breath, trying to hold back my tears. "I don't remember anything, I know my mother- "I stopped and the dam broke, I sobbed and couldn't get a coherent word out. The nurse rubbed my back to comfort me. My mother was gone. I looked up to see the doctor looking at me with a regretful expression on his face.
"They said my mother is- is- gone" I hiccupped.
He slowly nodded his head "Chief Swan told me you had fainted just after he told you the news about your mother. I'm very sorry for your loss." I cried harder. My mom is gone. I couldn't understand what was happening to me or why it had happened to me for that matter. After about twenty minutes I stopped crying. I felt numb. I just wanted to sleep and never wake up. Doctor Cullen had been sitting on the stool across from my bed, patiently waiting.
"Miss Bright, we're going to have to run some tests to find the cause of your memory loss."
I just shrugged "Sure. Do what you need to." I didn't have any other choice.
"Your uncle and cousin have asked to see you since they've been informed you woke up."
I didn't really want to see people I couldn't remember. But they knew me, apparently, they were family. "Can they come after all the tests are done?" I asked.
"Of course." The doctor stood and spoke to the nurse about the tests that needed to be done, CT scans and blood tests. Oh joy.
During the CT scan, I reflected on what I could remember. My mom and I lived in Vancouver, Canada. So, I couldn't understand why I had been in Arizona. I don't think I've ever really been to the US before, never mind being so far south. It was just my mother and I, my dad had left before I was born. Never met the man, didn't care to ever meet him either. I don't recall my mother ever having siblings. Charlie said I was related to Bella on her mother's side. Renee. I recalled my earlier conversation with the hot doc. He had said Chief Swan… Chief Swan… Charlie Swan… wait a minute. Bella Swan. Why was that so familiar? It was on the tip of my tongue. Why can't I remember! I was so frustrated. It felt like I was on the brink of a break through. I started getting a headache trying so hard to think. I decided to drop it, for now.
When I was rolled back into my room, Bella and Charlie were there waiting for me. Charlie, being the first to speak.
"They said they'll have your results in an hour or so, we just gotta sit tight then we can take you home." Home I thought. I felt homesick suddenly, I missed my Vancouver home. Where my bedroom window overlooked the ocean, my mom was well off being a criminal lawyer, so money wasn't an issue for us. I thought about my friends and my school. I was in my senior year and was about to graduate. The tears came back. My mom wasn't going to see me walk the stage. I broke down once again. Bella came to sit beside me, she put an arm around me and awkwardly hugged me. I looked up to her and seen she had tears as well.
"I'm so sorry this is happening to you Isla, when you feel up to it, I'll answer any questions you have the best I can." Bella whispered to me.
I didn't know this girl, but I could feel this bond between us, she knew me. She cared about me. I decided right then that I was going to try for these people, get my memory back and be the girl they remember.
"Thank you, Bella. I appreciate your help." I smiled at her and she gave one back. There was a knock on the door and I called for them to come in. Dr. Cullen had walked in with a face void of emotion. Very professional, I thought.
"Miss Bright, you seem to be suffering from retrograde amnesia, while you can't recall memories from before you fell asleep you do seem to remember your long-term memories from before you went to Phoenix. There was no injury to indicate the cause but there is a 75 percent chance that you will recover your memories with help from your family." He turned to Bella and Charlie "Share your memories with her, show her pictures, and most importantly, be patient with her. She might not remember right away." He looked back to me "You can go home with Chief Swan today and we'll be asking you to book a follow up appointment with me in the next two weeks. Welcome to Forks by the way, we hope you can get settled and be comfortable here." I smiled.
"thank you, Dr. Cullen, I'll see you in two weeks." The hot doc got up and left, I wasn't very subtle about checking him out.
I stood up from the bed and the nurse rolled in a wheel chair, I walked past it and was stopped by hearing my name.
"Isla, we gotta wheel you out, kiddo."
I looked at him incredulously "that's a thing? I thought that only happened in movies. The hospitals in Vancouver just let you walk out."
Charlie and Bella exchanged a look "When have you ever been to Canada?" Bella asked.
"I lived there… with my mum… before Arizona I guess." Bella shook her head disbelieving
"You and your mum lived in California, Dad and I would vacation with you guys two weeks in the summer." I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"I was born and raised in Canada… all the memories I do have are from Vancouver."
"maybe we should go bring Dr. Cullen back." I just shook my head
"lets just go, we can figure it out later." Charlie seemed to hesitate. "I'll tell him about it later, lets go. I don't like hospitals."
"Alright, lets go home then."
We pulled up to a white two-story house. It was cute. Forest surrounded the property, I loved it. I'm going to be hiking around here, that's for sure. I loved British Columbia and I knew Washington had many national parks so that was a perk being stuck here I guess. We got out and Charlie collected our bags from the trunk, I only had two, and I was extremely curious about what was in them. We walked into the house and I instantly fell in love, it had so much character. The living room had old furniture and all kinds of pictures of Bella, and surprisingly a few of me and my mum. I was kinda starting to believe it now. The kitchen was tiny and yellow. I knew I was going to spend a lot of time in here. Even though I can't cook worth shit. My thoughts were interrupted by Charlie.
"Well you girls are registered for Forks high school and your first day is tomorrow, but Isla, you don't have to go if you're not feeling up for it." School sounded good to me, I needed to regulate a route, hopefully recover some memories in the process.
"its okay Charlie, I'll go. I got Bella with me I'm sure she'll help me out."
"Of course, ill help you." She seemed nervous suddenly, but I decided I'd ask her about it later.
Charlie showed us to our rooms and I was pleasantly surprised to have a cute little room with the walls painted blue. My bed was a double and it was pushed up against the wall. My window over looked the back yard and my dresser was beside it. I felt a little better about being here. I opened both suit cases and was shocked. I remember all these clothes. They were mine. I looked through and knew where I had bought each piece. There was some local business in Vancouver that I liked to support and that's where my style kind of came together, It was comfy-cute, as i called it. Lots of big knitted sweaters and beanies. I wore leggings and yoga pants, I didn't own any jeans. I had a few sun dresses in here as well. I looked in my other bag and saw some rain boots and other miscellaneous items that I owned. Some makeup, my favorite umbrella. It rained a lot during the winter months in Van city, so I was used to this weather.
I unpacked all my belonging and set up the alarm clock I had on my dresser for six a.m. I wanted some time to get ready in the morning, I might not remember everything, but I do know I like to take pride in my appearance and starting a new school might be scary for some people, but I happen to like new beginnings.
I went to the only bathroom in the house, bypassing Bella's room. I peaked in quickly and saw her unpacking as well. When I closed the door to the bathroom I took a good look in the mirror. My blue eyes had bags under them, I looked sick as well. My hair was dark brown and pin straight that flowed down my back to my waist. I had dyed my hair recently from my light brown to make my eyes pop more, it worked. I was 5'3, just slightly shorter than Bella. I had very small breasts and a nice rounded bottom, I was lean but muscular from being on the volley ball team at my old school. Old school… I had an epiphany just then. I had all my friends on Facebook. I wondered if I could message them. I realized I didn't have my phone, or my computer. I would have to talk to Charlie about that. I looked through all my bags and my pockets. I couldn't find my phone from before. I was sad all over again, almost all my photos were on it.
After my shower, I decided to skip dinner. I pulled my blanket back and laid down. I missed my mom, she was my best friend and supported me through everything. I don't remember my last moments with her and that caused me to feel heavy in my chest, like a weight holding me down in a pool of sadness. I fell asleep at 7 p.m. while crying for my mother and lost memories.
After Jacob and Billy had left I quietly walked down the hall to Isla's room, I could hear her sniffling through the door. My heart broke for her. I didn't understand how her existing memories could be in a totally different place. I was feeling pretty determined to help her. I just needed to talk to her. Help her trust me so she can open-up and confide in me. Maybe I'll have a better understanding then. I left her door to get ready for bed. Tomorrow was a new day after all.
A:N/ Just wanted to say that I don't know what kinda of stuff is allowed or not allowed in America with hospitals and all that. I am Canadian so i'm not 100% sure about the differences, if anybody wants to enlighten me though, it's completely welcome. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
