Disclaimer: I won't ever own it.
Dun dun dun duuuunnnn... Oh my loony it's Aro!
Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me
Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
Don't Forget, by Demi Lovato
Chapter 19
"Aro?" I whispered, my heart thumping louder and louder.
"Dearest Melody, I was patiently waiting for your arrival back, but you never came" He said innocently, shaking his head. I kept quiet, Edward! Come please!
"I need you at the moment, will you please come with me?" He asked sweetly, but I could see through that fake kindness. His hand reached to touch my forehead, but I pulled away. My head throbbing at the sudden jolt.
"Don't worry, I won't bite" He chuckled bitterly. His quivering hand reaching once again, but this time for my pale and clamy hand.
"Aro.." Someone growled from the door. I jumped and whipped my head around to find a fuming Edward.
"Edward... nice to see you again" Aro gushed, heaving himself from the chair.
"Stay away from her!" Edward snarled, taking a few steps towards me. Aro glided in front of him, blocking me from his view.
"Now Edward, we musn't discuss this matter here, now should we?" Aro mused, "Why don't we go back to Italy, where we can discuss it more privately?" He suggested.
"Fine, just YOU and ME" Edward declared, glancing in my direction.
"No, no, no" Aro made a clucking noise with his tongue, "I came here for Gemma and Melody too"
The bathroom door opposite from the bed, slowly opened and Jane came sliding out. Unfortunately, Edward didn't notice.
"What do you want with them?" Edward demanded, taking another step towards the bed.
"I just wanted to discuss something with them.." Aro said, "Maybe suggest a few things about the Volturi.." He uttered. Aro glided towards me, his hand reaching for my face.
"NO!" Edward barked, bolting towards me. Next thing I knew Aro was struggling under a writhing Edward. Jane's furious eyes were fixed on Edward, as she pulled Aro free from Edward's grasp.
I jumped out of bed and knelt beside Edward. "Stop please" I begged, but my pleading didn't move Jane. Edward was trying to stand up, but the pain was surging through him, and it was just too unbearable to watch.
"Please, stop, please!" I pleaded, tears dropping from my face. Jane shook her head, as Aro dusted himself off pompously.
"Okay fine! I'll come with you, just please stop it!" I blurted out, finally giving in. Jane smirked in approval and Edward jumped up, in no more pain.
Edward's arms wrapped around me, and he picked me up, putting me on my feet again.
"Then it's decided, we should be on a plane in less than an hour!" Aro clapped his hand together. I was quite astonished to the fact that Alice nor the others rushed in.
"You must get changed and we'll come back for you in 15 minutes" Aro motioned to my hospital gown, "Come along now Jane dear" Aro exited the room gracefully, Jane trailing behind flashing me a glare.
The door closed behind them and Edward and I was alone. "I-I don't want to go" I croaked, fumbling with the hem of my gown.
"Then why did you give in?" Edward questioned, anger recognizable in his tone. I looked up at him tearfully, "Because they were hurting you" I hastened to add truthfully.
Edward sighed heavily, and he massaged the bridge of his nose. "Oh Melody, what am I going to do to you?" He asked rhetorically. He sat on the bed, his eyes closed, he seemed to be in deep thought.
I sauntered over cautiously, trying not to bother him. I stood a few inches before him, trying to find the right words to say. Unexpectedly, he reached out and pulled me into his arms.
"Dearest Melody, I'm truly sorry" He said softly.
"What for?" I inquired, trying to pull away, but he held on tight.
"For getting you into this mess" He responded, stroking my hair.
"Oh..."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
I luckily found my clothes in the bathroom, and I got dressed slowly. Hoping this was just a nightmare. My clothes were torn in many places and they were filthy. I felt dirty. Then a question hit me, a question I just had to know the answer to.
I shuffled out of the bathroom to find Edward looking out the window, watching the rain pour. "Dad..?" I called, testing out the name.
His head snapped into my direction, "Yes?" He responded.
"You know how you told me about Mom losing her memories?" I reminded him, he nodded his head, "Could she ever get them back?"
Edward furrowed his eyebrows and there was a long silence as he searched his thoughts. I sighed heavily when minutes ticked by, getting restless.
"Well, there is one thing.." He divulged, I perked up, "The only way she could ever get them back is if she hugged a werewolf" Edward droned. I frowned in disappointment, Mom would never hug a werewolf.
"Oh... thanks.." I mumbled, sitting on the bed. Edward sighed and continued staring out the window. My phone started ringing loudly, but Edward didn't even flinch.
Flipping it open, I answered, "Hello?"
"Hey Melody!" Natasha replied eagerly. I glanced at the ticking clock above the bathroom door.
"What the hell? Natasha, arent' you suppose to be asleep or something?" I asked, "It's 11 p.m." I added.
"I know, but I felt like you needed me to do something, but I guess I must be wrong" She guffawed. Ding! Ding! Natasha is a werewolf, isn't she? But would it be to much.
"Natasha?" I called, hoping she didn't hang up.
"Yea?"
"Could you do me a big favor?"
"Sure, I owe you big time, after leaving you today" She cried.
"Um.. could you maybe hug.. uh.. Bella for me?" I asked, shakily. There was a long pause on the other line. I could only hear Natasha's breathing and the ticking of that annoying clock.
"Natasha...?"
"No.." She grunted and then there was a long beep.
