"I'm sorry i don't remember you. I really feel like i should, i just don't." I did truly feel quite bad about not remembering her. I was sure i would know Alice when i saw her this is after all the only Alice i know.
It had been a week and i was finally out of the hospital. I had told Edward that i wasn't sure i could accept his proposal if i didn't know him right now. Both Jacob and Edward had spent equal time with me i could tell they were avoiding being near each other. Apparently werewolves and vampires didn't get along. I had believed then after i had seen proof that they were what they said they were and now i know how fast Edward can really run! And Jacob can really turn into a wolf a very big shaggy wolf but still a wolf.
I still wasn't falling in love with either of them yet. I thought that maybe i would but neither have become of interest to me. I did meet somebody, Quil. He is another one of the wolves. He's very sweet and tonight he's taking me to dinner. Its not something i would normally do but i wanted to try and do something other than spend my time with Edward and Jacob.
I put on a nice pair of jeans and a red top i found on my floor. I ran to the bathroom, brushed quickly through my hair. It looked nice so i decided to leave it down. I went back to my room, "Holy Crow!" Edward was standing beside me bed. "What are you doing in my bedroom?!"
"I'm always here, you just don't notice." He shrugged. Was this normal for him.
"I don't care if you're always here. I want you out, now!" I was trying not to yell, i didn't want to alarm Charlie.
He stood up and walked towards me while i started to back away, "Bella i don't want you to go out with this Quil guy. He's a werewolf he's not safe."
"Oh and you are? You're a vampire. Now get out before i call Charlie!" I continued to back away from him as he crept closer. Suddenly he stopped walking toward me and he was staring at me. He was looking at my shirt...or was it my chest. "Ew! My eyes are up here!" I said crossing my arms across my chest.
"That's not what I'm looking at. It's your shirt, where did you find it?" He seemed to really want to know where i had found it.
Personally i thought it to be quite odd but if it would get him to leave, "I found it on my floor now go!"
"Okay. Bella, can i at least try and help you remember?" He didn't wait for my answer. He came closer to me, i - for some reason -couldn't get my feet to move. He came over and my eyes went closed shut. I couldn't feel my body my legs turned to jell-o i was struggling to breathe. He brushed his hand down my cheek, i forgot to breathe entirely. I felt his ice breath close to my mouth now, he gently pressed his lips to mine. I froze for less than a second then tried to push against his chest. I was using both my hands and all my force to try to get him away. He noticed right away and pulled back, his hands still holding my shoulders. He looked at me shocked, "You don't remember?"
"No. Now you have to leave. Quil will be here any minute and i don't want you around when he comes." I tried pushing him toward my bedroom door to get him out. He turned the other way and swiftly jumped out of my window. I ran to it and looked down but i couldn't see him anymore.
"Bella?" I heard Charlie call up to me, "Your date's here." He didn't sound too thrilled. I wondered if Charlie did prefer i was with Edward. No he seemed to like Jacob a lot more. I'd always wondered why though, if i didn't know about their monster statues i would think they're pretty okay to me, and Edward sure is the charmer. Whether it be because of him being a vampire or not.
I went downstairs as fast as i could without falling. I smiled at Quil, "Hi."
"Hi, you look nice."
I felt my cheeks turn warm i knew i must look so stupid, "Thanks."
The drive to the restaurant was short, quiet and awkward. Quil's stereo was broken so there was nothing to beat the silence. When we got to the restaurant there wasn't much of a change. Finally i decided i nice break from the date would be needed, "Would you excuse me? I have to use the washroom." Quil politely stood as i left. I was on my way to the washroom when i ran into something hard. I was sure i had juts hit a wall and made a fool of myself but when i looked up it was Jacob. "What are you doing here?" I hissed.
"I needed to make sure you were alright."He put his hand on my shoulder, it seemed more romantic than friendly.
"Oh great so first Edward now you?" I rolled my eyes, "I'm a big girl you know? I can take care of myself."
"That's what you say, but it's you who fell over and lost her memory, who's gotten attacked my vampires multiple times, who's fallen down so many times it's hard to count, who can't play a sport cause she can become a deadly weapon, who-"
"I get it!" I raised my hand at his face to stop him from going on about it.
Just then Quil came around the corner, "Bella?" He stopped dead in his tracks, "Jacob?" He snarled.
"You know i told you not to do this. Even Sam told you not to do this."
"I don't care what Sam said."
I didn't want them to make a scene, "Outside, now."
Jacob shook his head, ":There's no need, you're coming with me." He grabbed my arm and seemed to drag me out of the restaurant. I didn't see Quil follow behind us. I guess he did care about what Sam said.
"Where are going?" I asked him once he had stuffed me into the Rabbit and buckled my seat belt for me as if i were still a child.
"La Push. Edward's told me there's some new information and we need to look into it. Until we find out what's going on we need to keep you safe. Charlie thinks you're staying with me overnight so I can drive you to Port Angeles tomorrow."
"I have my own car." I was acting like a child with the attitude i was giving him.
"As far as Charlie knows it's not working, and I'm going to work on it after we get back from Port Angeles."
"Why would we be going to Port Angeles then?"
"Car parts, and you wanted to shop for some more books, you've been getting tired of your old ones." He was acting more serious than usual, I wasn't sure if i should b scared but i was being too stubborn to think it through all the way.
"I'm perfectly fine with my books," I muttered.
