A/N: Bella and Jake are the same age in this fanfic. Sorry its been so long but having writer's block and a one year old can do that to you. Forgive me please. I hope you enjoy.

I was safely back in my wheelchair and on the way to my room to await the test results. The best part about that was I'm going to have alone time with Jake, finally, Or at least I thought I was. We had not even made it in the door before we got more company. I looked a few doors down to see Charlie pushing Billy out of his room.
"Bella they just released me." Charlie informed.
"That's great. I'm probably going to be awhile. They are waiting on my results. I also have to give blood to make sure I have enough, If that makes any since." I told him as I rolled my eyes.
"Well I'm sure there doing what's best." He ensured me then looked at Jake and finished with, "I'm sure you and Billy are really tired maybe you two should go home take a shower and get some sleep"
"What about you? You've probably had just as little sleep as they did." I answered before anyone else could hoping Jake would catch on. I still wanted alone time with him. I just want to talk. Ask him what his best and worst memory of us together. I wanted to know everything. Most of all I wanted my memory back.
"Yea, I'm sure you could use a shower and at least a nap. I can sit here with Bella. I slept better in that chair then I have in awhile. I may ask if I can take it home. I'll tell them its faulty." Jacob informed almost pleading with a little humor. I knew he wanted to stay with me as bad as I wanted him to stay. He was pulling out all the stops.
"Okay, Okay I'll go home and take a shower. I am not taking a nap. I'm going to stop by the station. Then I'll be back. I do not want to hear any arguments about it. I can sleep tonight after we get you home." Charlie like me, makes his mind up and sticks with it. It's a trait he passed on to me. That's why I knew I shouldn't push it. I would get about an hour with Jake and that was enough, for now.
"That's all I could ask for, I'm just trying to look out for you. There's no way your not stressed out. I'll see you in a little." I told him. Waiving his hand a little at his side.
"Yea, yea I'll see you in a little bit and don't forget to call me if you get released before I'm back. I mean it." He replied
"I doubt that is going to happen but I promise to call." He turned to leave and now that I got what I wanted I didn't know if I wanted it anymore. What if I had misread all the things he was doing and he was just being kind? Charlie said he cared for me. Everything he has done a good friend would surely do. It didn't matter now. It was too late to change my mind. I was being pushed into my room it was time to face the music. He pushed my chair close to the bed. I got out and climbed into the bed. Good thing I had two gowns on or everything would be know. That's something I had not thought about. What if everything was known? The only way to know was to ask.

"What do you think she wants?" Quil asked.
"I don't know but She wants it really bad. She wouldn't keep coming back and putting her life, if that's what you want to call it, in danger for no good reason. There is no way she just wants to pass through." I replied
"I wish we could just catch her and get it over with so I don't have to run double shift patrol in my first twenty-four hours. I was lucky I got a sandwich earlier." Quil complained
"Well when Bella is home and settled we'll have Jake. Once he gets some training we can take her out and be done with it. Sam thinks he is going to Imprint on her, like he did on Leah that's why Sam isn't making him patrol. We'll know once he phases again after seeing her." I explained
"I hope she gets to feeling better soon."
"You aren't the only one. Not only because of the need for food and rest but because if someone was to lose a imprint we'd lose a member of the pack. He would never phase again. Until he'd find another imprint. Its weird. At the next trible meeting you'll hear all the legends or you could ask Sam. He's been through it when Emily died." I replied

"My dad said we are good friends, I was just wondering how good of friends are we?" I asked Jacob timidly.
"Before I answer I have to ask you a couple of questions. Is that okay?" He asked with a serious facial expression. This has to be bad. Great. Here it comes. He was just trying to spare my feelings before. I was going to get shot down.
I answered with a simple "yes" and The nurse came walking in the door. Didn't they knock! I mean if she had not been so nice to me earlier I may have started yelling. I must've had an irritated expression on my face because when she looked at me she apologized.
"I'm sorry to bug you again but I need to take some blood and you will be left alone for a little bit. The doctor is looking at your results now. Ill put a rush on the blood work. The doctor will be in just about thirty minutes from the time I gets this to the lab. He'll be letting you know if you'll be going home or staying another night. Good luck miss Swan and get well soon." She finished up and walked out as I shared a thank you. She gave me a small smile and closed the door. I looked at Jake and picked up where we left off.
"Okay, Now what did you want to ask me?" He gave a small smile before he answered,
"Yes I was just wondering is what you told Mike the only things you remember? Do you remember your childhood? Anything besides Charlie being your dad?"
"Umm" this was tricky "I know that I get hurt a lot but when I try to recall a memory of me getting hurt I can't. Can I ask you why you wanted me to answer that question before you answered mine?"
"Well I don't want to blind side you with something you don't know that may shock or surprise you."
"Awe.. Jake don't worry about that maybe if I get shocked it may bring my memory back." I really didn't care what he was going to tell me. I felt so lost.
"Our dads have been best friends since before we where born. My dad has told me stories about when we used to play together. We where inseparable until your mom moved with you when you where three." I think he expected me to react to this but I didn't feel surprised or sad at the news, so I guessed I was okay with it. I let him continue to speak. I wanted to know more about us and I think I could listen to his charming voice forever.
"You would come back for a week every summer. Then my mom died at the beginning of the summer before I started high school. That and every summer after you would stay until the week before school until you moved here for good. We wrote letters back and forth and a weekly phone call that would last for hours if allowed when you would go back home. I started dating Leah or rather I was pushed into by my dad. He said it wasn't normal for someone my age not to date. I was never happy. She is a good person but I didn't love her like a boyfriend was supposed to love his girlfriend. I loved her like my best friends sister. Nothing ever happened between us. She probably was resentful. We ended on a good note. I could tell her and Sam had something for each other. That's a story for another time." He stopped for a moment staring into my eyes. And asked
"Do you have any questions for me yet?" I thought about what I just herd. I was glad to hear him and Leah didn't do anything. Does that mean he has never done anything. That was not a question I should ask now. I wanted him to finish his story. I felt Jealous when he started telling me about Leah but It quickly went down as he continued.
"No, thank you for asking." I couldn't wait to get to hear more about him and I. He had a small smirk on his face as he continued.
"We stopped hanging so much for a while and just started hanging out again not long ago but Bella I love you and I want to be with you. Will you please give me a chance. I know that you just woke up in a hospital with a stranger sleeping by your bed. Which probably scared the crap out of you, I'm sorry about that."
He paused for the briefest moment then made a request.
"Please don't answer me now. Even if you think you know the answer. I want you to think about it Bella."
I love the way he said my name with love and admiration. I didn't know him but I already knew the answer. I would comply with his request. I was not going to comply for long. I didn't think I could wait that long to be closer to him, to call him mine, and to make him happy.
"Okay, but can we still hang out and you could help me jog my memory until you decide I've waited long enough to give you an answer?" He got a heart warming smile on his face.
"Sure anything for you." I didn't feel at all embarrassed about making that request because I knew what the answer would be.
A/N Why so you think Jacob didn't mention Edward? When is she going to remember or find out about him? How will she feel that he kept it from her? Victoria maybe in the next chapter. Stay tuned.
Its been way to long I am very sorry. If your still with me or a new reader Thank you. I know I've seen this from fanfic writers but its true this is probably a really rough chapter again sorry. Please review in the time that I had not updated I still didn't get one review. Please give me inspiration to write a better story.
