Remember 6
Chapter 6
"What happened to my clothes?" I ask Jacob who's been sitting in a chair across the room from me the entire night. It surprises me that I was able to sleep with someone else in the room that is a stranger. I no for a fact that Jacob fell asleep for a little while, I heard him snoring but I was so tired I just put a pillow over my head. I've never slept so good.
"Edward took them to get cleaned, someone will bring them soon. He's not to happy about that jacket thing." Jacob says scrubbing down his face roughly.
"What is with him and that damn cardigan?" I mumble, the way he touched it last night you'd think it was valuable.
Jacobs eyebrows draw together but before he says anything the door opens and in steps a tiny woman with dark eyes that find mine the second she opened the door. She is wearing a long dark coat and six inch killer heels and she's still short.
"Black, Edward says you better remember what he told you, if it's her life it's your life and you." She says to me, "These are for you." She dumps bags and bags of clothes on the bed.
"Um, thank you?" I tell her.
She waves her hand, "I may have done the shopping but Edward paid for it all, thank him." She says. "I'm Alice."
"Isabella." I tell her, so confused over this conversation, like this is all no big deal.
"Well, I'm sure I'll see a lot more of you but now I have to go before I'm late, if anything doesn't fit I'll take it back and if there's anything else you need write it down and I'll do my best." She says, "See you later, Jake, don't fuck up." She points at him and he nods. "Bye."
"See you, shorty." Jake calls to her.
"What is this?" I ask Jacob.
He shrugs, "If you're staying here you'll need clothes, Edward sent his cousin for you."
I peek in the bag and nearly throw it away from me, Ralph Lauren, oh hell no. I know that shits expensive.
"What's wrong?" Jacob asks, concerned. He stands up and looks through the bag before emptying it out on the bed. I close my eyes, no freaking way.
"It's to much, expensive." I tell him.
He laughs, "It's just clothes Isabella. Relax, here, I'll take price tags off if it'll make you feel better."
Seven jeans, ten skirts, five dresses, twelve shirts, three bikinis, ten sets of fancy underwear sets, I rarely have matching underwear sets on. A make up set, toiletries, shoes, all kinds from Nike's to super high heels and flats. I don't even want to know if they're other name brand clothes in the pile.
I pick out the plainest looking pair of jeans and a black shirt that is styled to look a little longer on you and grab a pair socks and Nike's. Everything's the prefect size and so freaking comfortable I even let out a little moan, these jeans, damn.
When I come back out to the room Jake is gone. Slowly I walk to the opened door, there's no one, it's quite. I hesitantly walk down the hall to the stair case there's someone vacuuming somewhere down there. Once down the stairs I spot a little lady vacuuming, the second she sees me she turns it off.
"Miss Swan, Mr. Black is in the kitchen, he asked for you to meet him there." She's smiles sweetly at me.
"Um." Is my clever response.
"Come, I show you." She says. "Mr. Edward has also asked me to remind you the security alarm is set and not to set it off." She leads the way into a very cozy formal living room. Once in the kitchen my jaw drops, it's a chefs wet dream, it's amazing. Jacob is sitting at a breakfast bar eating a sandwich.
"Thank you, Mrs. Goff." Jacob tells her and she leaves with a head nod.
"I could have tried escaping, then what?" I ask him as I trail my fingers over the marble counter tops.
He shakes his head, "You could have tried but you would not succeed, this place is being watched by Edwards top people, Isabella. You'd be spotted the second you exit the house, the next second after you'd be caught and brought back in." He takes another bite.
"You can find yourself something to eat or Mrs. Goff can come make you something." He adds after a moment of silence.
I open the fridge and find what I assume to be left over spaghetti. "Where is everyone?" I ask looking over to Jacob as I heat it up.
He only shrugs but his eyes look troubled, like he knows but doesn't want to say.
"Let me show around the house?" He says changing the subject.
This place is insane, there's a gym and home theater in the fully furnished basement along with a music room, there's a more comfortable living room, less formal. The formal dining room, two home offices, one I was allowed in the other, I wasn't, along with three bedrooms I wasn't allowed in either. There's one more bedroom other than those and I guess mine. There's another small room at the end of the hall with another TV and according to Jake that's where the guys normally watch TV if they get a chance.
Emmett, Edward and Jasper don't show up at all through the entire day and for some reason it bugs me, badly.
"What do you normally do, Jacob?" I ask him, we're sitting in that smaller room in the back watching some TV show that I have no interest in.
He looks over at me and smiles, "What, you don't think this is my job?"
"Babysitting?" I ask with a laugh, "No."
"You don't look like a baby." Jake says still smiling.
I shrug, "It's what Edward called it, so?"
"I'm part of the security team and I'm a bouncer at Eclipse." He says looking back at the TV.
"What's Eclipse?" I ask.
He smiles again but only watches the TV. "Edward and Em's bar, very popular joint." He says. "Maybe I can take you sometime."
I curl up a little more, "I'm only seventeen." I tell him.
He shrugs, "I'll get you a fake ID, though I'm sure Edward has already arranged all of that."
"How old are you?" I ask almost sounding rude.
He turns to look at me amused, "Same age as Edward." Like I knew how old he was. Then he says, "Twenty-three. Emmett just turned twenty-two. A lot of people are always shocked when they learn that about Edward and Emmett, they're young with a successful business but people don't realize, if you have money anything is possible."
"Jacob, who is this?" We hear behind us.
We turn to find a tall man with long gold hair tied at the back of his neck. "James." Jacob says and stands up to do that weird man hand shake. He never looks away from me and this strange feeling rushes over me, I don't feel safe anymore. "This is Isabella, remember?"
"Ah, the famous Isabella, I guess I should have known." He says offering me his hand. "I'm James."
I don't put my hand in his, I shrink back from it and he laughs sending chills down to my bones. "Shy little thing, ain't she." He comments.
Jake shrugs, "She's not bad company."
"Mm, I'm sure she's not." James says never looking away from me.
"Why are you hear man? I thought you'd be with everyone else?" Jake asks him.
He shakes his head, "No, Isabella is much more interesting, don't you think?"
"I think I told you not to just show up here." We all turn to find Edward leaning against the wall, he's wearing a suit but the jacket is rumpled, the shirt untucked, the tie pulled loose, his hair is a mess and he looks exhausted, maybe not only physically but mentally.
"Edward, I didn't know you'd be back already." Jacob says looking almost nervous.
"Neither did James here, what do you want?" He asks him.
He holds his hands up, "I just wanted to meet the girl."
"How did you hear about her?" Edward asks raising an eyebrow.
He shrugs and smiles down at me, "People talk Edward, someone around here needs to keep their mouths shut, you don't want the wrong person finding out you have her." James says before walking past Edward.
Edward looks furious, his beautiful green eyes are dark, "Excuse me." He says to me before turning on his heel and following after James.
"What the hell was that?" I ask Jacob.
He's staring in the same direction, "I have no fucking clue." He says.
When Edward comes back Emmett is with him, he looks a lot like how Edward looks. "I don't want him here when I'm not here and I defiantly don't want him around her." Edward says looking at me.
"I won't argue with that." I mumble to myself but of course I'm heard.
"Did he touch you? I'll break his hand." Emmett says.
"No, he offered her his hand, she wouldn't take it." Jacob says.
"Good." Edward says turning and walking out of the room. "Jake." He calls out, he follows. "Emmett."
"I know." Emmett says and plops down next to me, where I just sat down.
He looks over at me and gives me a small dimpled smile. "Where have you been?" I ask, not really sure I have the right to know.
"Jake didn't tell you?" He asks, I shake my head no. "We laid our parents to rest today."
I feel my heart tighten. "Your parents."
He nods, "Edward Senior and Elizabeth Cullen, you witnessed their deaths but I guess you don't really remember, huh?"
I close my eyes, I feel sick...
...A kind smile, she tugs on the man's arm. "Edward, look. There's a girl." The woman says.
The man looks over at me, his hair a bit of a mess. "Are you alright dear?" The woman asks. I step out from around the building, her eyes, a brilliant green, like a glass bottle, like...
" ...Edward." I mummer.
"I'm right here." I feel someone squeeze my hand and I open my eyes to find Edward right in front of me. "Are you okay?" He asks me.
I see Emmett and Jacob standing behind him. "What's going on?" I ask.
"You zoned out." Emmett says, "Scared the shit out of me."
I look between the brothers and I really don't know what comes over me but with my free hand I reach up and touch Edward cheek, near his eye, he tenses a little but doesn't push me away.
"You have your mother's eyes and your father's hair." I tell him, "and you have your father's eyes your mother's hair color." I tell Emmett and look back to Edward. His Adam apple bobs harshly up and down and then his eyes droop till they close. He leans into my hand a bit more and exhales.
"You remember them?" Emmett asks but I can't look away from Edward, he looks...vulnerable.
"I just get glimpses of what I assume are the lost memoires. Small things can trigger them, I was able to see the similarities when you told me they're your parents, I saw them, I remember seeing them." I tell Emmett without looking at him.
Edward sighs and then slowly opens his eyes and then stands up. "It's late Isabella, we should all get some sleep, Jake go crash in the other guess room."
"What about her?" Jacob asks.
Edward looks down at me, "She won't leave, will you Isabella?" He asks me.
No was at my lips though it shocks me but I do want to help, I want to remember and I'm safe here. I shake my head no, I won't leave.
"See, go get some sleep." He tells Jake again.
"Goodnight Isabella." Jacob tells me.
"Night." I tell him.
Emmett follows after and it's just Edward and I now. He offers me a hand up from the couch and I take it, letting him pull me up, I immediately let go though. I walk down the hall, pass the other hall and rooms to what I know as my room now.
I turn around when I enter the room and Edward leans against the door frame, looking at the floor he says. "Thank you."
"For what?" I ask.
He looks up at me, "For trying, for staying." He says, his eyes look so troubled.
I nod, "I'll try Edward, I promise."
He straightens up and with a sigh he says, "Thank you, goodnight Isabella." He turns to leave and I call out to him.
"Edward?" He looks back at me, concerned. "Bella, I prefer Bella." I tell him.
He gives a slight crooked smile, relaxing a bit. "Bella." He says before closing the door and leaving me by myself, with my own thoughts.
I never thought I would feel sorry for someone who is a kidnapper, much less someone who has taken me against my will but I do, I feel bad for Edward and Emmett. I want to help them.
