Chapter 20
Lily's POV
It has been three days since I have seen Jacob. When he left with Charlotte, I only thought the worst. And as the hours drew by without seeing him or even getting a phone call from him, I started to panic.
"Jacob!" I screamed that fateful morning when I rushed outside to get some air. Staying in that house was just to hard, especially with eight other people in the house. I wanted to leave Forks; wanted to go back to our home in La push. Maybe he was there waiting for me, but then why didn't he just come here and get me?
I paced and paced. The only thoughts that seemed to be getting into my head were ones of fear and of hatred. Fear because I didn't know where Jacob was and everything I thought was of him dying or getting hurt and etc...and hatred because I completely loathed Charlotte for taking him away from me. If she shows her face here again, I promise that she wont have a face to look at again. I fisted my hands so tight I could feel my nails digging into my skin making me bleed.
Not only was I worried, the whole Cullen house was worried. Even Bella was worried for her best friend. Though, I'm glad that I wasn't alone, if I had been alone, I fear of what I might have done to myself in my crazy thoughts. Of course, it was ironic, Alice couldn't see anything. Werewolves were the only exception to her lovely talent. That even made me more peeved.
But to my stupidity, today had been the day I lost everything. Today had been the day where I had been dreading everything, from Jacob's disappearance, to Alice not being able to see anything, to my freaking morning sickness that didn't ever seem to go away. Today was the day that Jacob had come back. The day that I had lost him, for what I thought was forever.
This morning, I had been pacing as I had been for the past three days out in the yard in front of the Cullen house. Stupid overreacted thoughts were racing through me head as usual and then one thing I did not expect came up to me. As I heard leaves rustle in the forest, my head had snapped up to find my Jacob walking out of the forest. He looked the same, but different somehow. His eyes didn't have that same sparkle in them that I had always known. He didn't even notice me, he went straight up to the door and pounded so hard on it, it hurt my ears.
The most peculiar thing happened then. Edward had answered the door and Jacob had cringed back, he then bellowed something I never expected Jacob to ever yell at Edward. He had said, "Where the hell is Bella you bloodsucking leach!" The venom in his voice made my heart literally sink to the forest floor. Not only was he being an asshole to his brother, he was asking for Bella and not being at all concerned about me. What the hell was wrong with him?
Instead of running up and fixing the situation, I just stood there looking at him like an idiot. He stepped way back when Edward walked out onto the porch with a very confused, and to be honest, pissed off look on his face. He looked at Jacob and starred him down with a look so terrifying, I was literally shaking in my boots.
"What is the matter with you Jacob!? Where the hell have you been? Lily has been worried sick over you and you wish to see Bella. Well, piss on that. Why don't you go find Lily and explain to her why you left and didn't come back for three days!" Edward finished his speech with a through of his arms up in the air. Jacob was quiet for a few seconds and then his face grew sickeningly pale. Not that it wasn't already pale. But he look translucent. Then Jacob said something that tore my heart to shreds as the words escaped his beautiful lips.
"Who is Lily?" His face was so confused, it almost looked real. I didn't wait to hear more. I turned face on my heals and broke out into a sprint into the woods. I couldn't stand hearing anything more, no more lies or absurd questions. I cried all the way until I hit the road that would take me back home. If someone didn't help me now, I don't know what I might do.
Jacob's POV
As I looked at Edward, I knew that he was extremely pissed off. His face bore the face of a true vampire and I was prepared for the lung I had been expecting. But he had said the weirdest thing. Something about a girl named Lily. I know no Lily. And if I had, I surly would have remembered such a person.
For some reason, all that I had remembered was that I was running in the forest leaving La push and then I ended up in the middle of a different forest, completely clothed and then I sensed the smell of Bella and the Cullens. I had hastily ran up to the house and without thinking of anything else, knocked on the door to find Bella and to somehow, tell her sorry for everything. And to perhaps get one last kiss from her lips.
But Edward has stopped me in my tracks, talking to me like a crazy person. Thats when I spotted Bella looking at me from the doorway. I mouthed her name and she came walking out and stood by Edward taking his hand in hers. A rush of jealousy pulsed through me and I gritted my teeth.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked Edward and he whispered something to her and I barely caught it.
"He doesn't remember her." he had said.
"If your going to talk about me," I began. "talk to me."
Edward looked up and then said. "Jacob, do you remember a girl named Lily?" I narrowed my eyes at the name. I rolled my eyes and said. "No." Like he was the one being crazy. But I had no idea that they thought the exact same thing about me.
"What is the last thing you remember? Do you remember Charlotte?" he asked.
"Who?"
"Charlotte." he said.
"I know no Charlotte and I don't no Lily. And the last thing I remember was the I was leaving La push and then somehow I ended up not a mile from your home with Bella's scent still clear in the air. Now what is all this fuss about bloodsucker?" he said.
"Jacob!" Bella chastised.
"What?" I asked innocently. I had always called him that. He had always called me dog, so what's the difference. Nothing.
"It's alright Bella. He doesn't remember anything. Jacob?" he turned back to me and I looked at him like I was annoyed. "You don't remember anything? You don't remember Lily, or Charlotte? You don't remember finding them? Anything?" he asked.
"I really don't have any idea what the hell you are talking about. Your talking in circles and I'm getting none of it." I said.
"Oh, god." Bella groaned putting her head into her hands. She then turned and walked back into the house. Edward just stood there gazing down at the ground. Sorrow was placed into his eyes and if he were human, he could have been crying from the grief that was plain the see on his face.
"Go home Jacob. Try to remember." he said before turning and running into the house.
"Remember what!?" I yelled back but then thunder cracked above me and I ran into the forest, stripping as I went.
Edward's POV
Inconceivable wretch! I ran up the stairs and bashed through Carlisle's office without even knocking, I felt badly about nearly destroying his door, but this was urgent. Jacob didn't remember anything and I feared the worst, that the Volturi had somehow gotten a hold of him and stripped his memory of everything. From way back when he had first met Charlotte which had been before Lily.
"Yes?" Carlisle raised his eye brows and put down the text he had been reading.
"Jacob doesn't remember!" I yelled. "He doesn't remember Lily, or us, or anything from back when he left La push!" I was pacing while I said it.
"Woah, calm down Edward. He truly doesn't remember anything?" he asked.
I stopped and glared at him. "He called me a bloodsucking leach and demanded to see Bella, and by his thoughts, he wanted to kiss her. Lily was not in one single thought."
"Oh." he said.
"Yeah, oh." I mocked.
"Edward stop it." he said. "Now I am sure there is a reasonable explanation for what has happened. Do you think the Volturi...?" he trailed off.
"Yes. The only people I can think of even wanting or getting a hold of Jacob would be them. They have Jane and a few others who can control a werewolf." I said. "Is there anyway to get a hold of them to make sure?" I asked. It seemed stupid asking if the Volturi had their own hot line. But I was desperate. Lily was pregnant with Jacob's baby and she was there when he had said those hateful things. I hadn't gone after her fearing what else Jacob would have said.
"There is one number. Though it would risk much with Bella not being changed yet. Do you want to take the risk of maybe one of them venturing here?" he asked.
"The date is set. And we need to know what happened to him." I said.
He picked up his cell and dialed an unfamiliar number and it rang only once. He conversed briefly with the woman on the other end. I blocked it out, I wanted to hear the news from Carlisle. I knew of course, that he would have not been transferred straight to Aro or any of the "importants" but would get the information from her. She would have known, I have no doubt of that.
When Carlisle thanked the lady and hung up I was twitching with the eagerness of his words to come. Though I already new what he would say.
"Yes, it was them who had taken Jacob. Charlotte was apparently conflicted with them and she turned Jacob in to save her own skin. When he confessed that he didn't even know who the Volturi were, they gave him a choice, though he apparently didn't know the consequences of that choice. They purposed that they would erased Charlotte from his memory resolving the problem. But in doing so, bringing up a whole new problem because they erased Lily and everything that has happened here as well.
"There is no cure for it. But we need to get them together. I am positive that his imprinting technique is still intact, and all he has to do is look at her to be imprinted again. It will be very confusing for him at first, but with all of our help, including Billy's and Sam's, we can make him know her again. Maybe not to the same extent, but at least they will have each other again." he stood up and walked to the door brushing past me.
"Come. We must find Lily." he said. I went.
Lily's POV
I ran as far as I could until I could no more. My breath came in wisps as I buried my face in my hands. I wasn't even to La push yet. That thought scared me. I was in the middle of freaking no where and I had no car. And I was hungry to my surprise. I shouldn't be hungry in a time like this.
But then as I looked up, a black Mercedes came crawling up the road and it stopped right next to me on the road. The door opened and Edward stepped out. He came and hugged me before I totally and completely broke down into little pieces. He knew my pain and I knew that he knew my pain. I could see it in his face, his eyes.
He practically carried me into the car and put me into the back seat, only Carlisle was in the car, and that disappointed me. I was hoping that Bella would have been there for me as well. She was not. Why couldn't she have been there! She has more experience with this! Not these...men. "Wow that was totally sexist." I thought.
"It's going to be okay Lily." Edward said. I starred out the window, about to cry. I didn't understand what was going on. The fact that Jacob hadn't even noticed me, well, it down right pissed me off more than anything.
"Lily?" Carlisle said. I looked up at his face in the rear view mirror.
"He doesn't remember you Lily," he began softly. "I am so sorry. He somehow has lost all memory of everything that has happened since he left, before. We are going to take you to him now-"
"No." I blurted out crossing my arms in an attempt to look childish.
"Lily." Edward said. "He doesn't remember, but if he sees you, it will be like he's imprinting on you all over again. Trust us."
I looked out of the window. Had Carlisle already been driving? The trees were moving by at a blazing speed making my stomach turn. I swallowed hard; my mouth dry without any water to satiate it. After a while, I looked back at them. Carlisle was still looking through the rear view mirror and Edward was turned back, facing me.
"Alright." I tried to make it sound bold but it came out in a wimpy whisper.
Carlisle accelerated and we blew by anything that stood in our way of the car, and Jacob's house. It seemed unbelievable to me that Jacob could just "BAM!" like that, lose his memory. Not only of Charlotte "bitch" I muttered silently, but of me as well. What or who would have the power of making such a strong person lose everything that was important to him? Who would have the heart to take something like that away from him?
"Lily?" Carlisle said suddenly, making me jump out of my revere. I looked up at him and he smiled. "We're here." he said.
I looked out the window and there it was, Jacob's house. I looked out beyond to the forest and he was outside chopping wood. He looked extremely pissed about something and that worried me a little bit.
"Maybe now isn't the best-"
"Go. He's fine." Edward encouraged.
I breathed in a deep breath and opened the door. I stepped from the car and wobbled a little on my way out. Fear was cascading through me like a bolt of FEAR lightening just struck, hitting me with all of it's volts. I walked slowly forward, glancing behind me a few times to make sure my audience hadn't left me yet. They hadn't.
When I was only about ten feet away from him, his body went ridged. He had his back to me and his body was dripping with sweat which only made my thoughts turn toward something that they shouldn't be turning towards at the moment.
Slowly, he turned. I sucked in a sharp intake of breath at the sight of his face. It was like seeing him for the first time back in the woods when I had been reading my book. The look of complete satisfaction and love. Even though, to him, we haven't met yet.
His nostrils flared as he looked me over. My eyes were probably stained with tear streaks and my clothes were probably battered and dirty, but the look he was giving me said other wise. His look said it all, said how much he truly loved me to the very core and how much he was willing to give up for me if anything ever happened to jeopardize his chances of having me for him, and only him. As if anyone could ever take me away from him!
"Hello." I said softly. It seemed really stupid that I said it. Because to me, we have known each other through everything. I knew every single thing about him. Now, he knew nothing about me. And I was sure I had to tell him all over again, which doesn't matter. But it tore at my heart to think that all of the precious memories that we have faced and shared together have all been erased in his state of mind.
He moved. My heart leaped from it's spot in my chest and it felt as though someone was trying to suck it out of my chest. He stared walking towards me in the same way he used to walk right before he-
Now he was standing right in front of me. Only one inch away. His hand went up to my cheek and he caressed my skin with a feeling that felt like it used to. Like right after we shared our love to each other. A tear slid down my cheek.
He bent his head down slowly and kissed the tear away. Then he looked at me, smiled, and said, "I've missed you so much."
