Forbidden Memories
Chapter 2 – Familiar Surroundings
(Bella's POV)
At first it all went black and I couldn't feel anything, but suddenly I felt a gash at the back of my head. There was a pair strong warm arms cradling me, but it couldn't be Jacob, could it? I hadn't seen him in months, what would he be doing here and why would he be here? The only way I could be absolutely positive was if I opened my eyes, and there he was.
I blinked a few times and the worried look on his face disappeared. In its place was a huge grin – my Jacob's smile- , I had forgotten how white his teeth were and sighed at the thought. I had to remember everything now before it was taken away from me, if I could just see him I couldn't even think his name, in knowing so if I did the pain would reappear but it was too late. My chest felt as if there was someone standing on it, my breathing became uneven and Jacob noticed. He looked was horrified now.
"What's wrong Bella, are you hurt, Bells answer me!" he demanded.
"I'm ok really Jake, can you help me up?" my voice was like broken glass, he knew I was lying.
He pulled me up gently and wrapped his arm around my waist so that I could walk. From the distance I could pick out two large figures. They ran towards us, I soon realised that it was Quill and Embry –Jacob's best friends and brothers.
"So Bella what did you do this time fall over your feet?" Quill said it wasn't a question; he was referring to my awful sense of gravity and balance. I turned to face Jacob, his face had gone sour and Quill was backing away shaking his hands in front of him. Embry ran into the middle of them before Jake got any closer, I felt solely responsible so I tried to push him back but obviously that had no effect on him he was over a hundred times stronger than me.
"Jake, don't!" I yelled.
Quill opened his mouth to speak, "Oh come on, I was kidding trying to lighten the mood"
I was shoved to the side of Embry, but luckily Sam arrived and broke up the fight. Sam looked different......older? Perhaps but werewolves couldn't age I was sure of that. I apologised for my in convince and said that I should go but Jacob told me to shut up and stop being so modest. I had to agree, it was one of the few things I shared in common with... I couldn't think of him now, I felt a tear run down my check and wiped it quickly so that no one would notice but they did.
"Bella are you crying? what did I do ?" Jacob's voice was humble.
"Nothing, you didn't do anything I was just..."
"Being Bella" He emphasised on the Bella part.
All of us laughed together and Emily arrived with Paul and Jared at her side. She smiled at me and I exchanged a smile back. As she turned to kiss Sam I noticed that a new scar was apparent on her face, running from her ear to her jaw line. I gasped in shock but no one seemed to hear.
Jacob explained to his wolf family that he needed to talk to me and they left. I wondered what he wanted to talk to me about.
"So Jake what do you want to talk about?"
