A/N: *le heavy sigh* Guys okay so I'll try focusing on this because I have more freedom with Alli's character and you'll see what I mean later, okay so in this chapter Alli is 15 and in her Junior year, Jacob graduated, He's 19-20 (I'll pick an age based on your votes so PLEASE write what age you think he should be).
Chapter 5: Who Are You
Alli's POV:
I looked at myself in the mirror, I was no longer a little girl with my baby fat and my flat chest, my face thinned out revealing my high cheek bones, my chestnut hair with natural honey golden highlights from the sun in the summers with Jacob, my chest has filled up with a C-cup my waist had thinned up and my hips were more curvaceous than before.
I was a young woman, I frowned softly in the mirror, the bullying has gotten a lot worse sense Jacob's left the school, but I never tell him because he doesn't need to be worried with my problems, no one should. I was a girl that no one liked, I don't know why no one did, I'd often find notes slipped in my locker that were filled with hate and threatening messages. I'd just sigh and shuffle onto my next class, as always.
Today wouldn't be any better, I went back into my room and put on a black button up blouse with waist high dark wash denim shorts that stopped a little short of mid-thigh, I put on a pair on a pair of yellow wedges and put on a few bracelets. My hair was braided off to the right side. I picked up my white backpack and left the house to the front yard to wait for Jake to pick me up.
I heard the clangering of his rusty red truck that he always drove because he loved it, he took pride in it. I smiled and waved as he stopped the truck in front me and I climbed into the passenger seat and sat doing feeling the back of my shorts climb slightly I put my backpack in front of me and looked over at him and his ever-so warm familiar smile that I've grown to love over the past 9 years. He offered his hand and I took it and intertwined our fingers together.
I wanted to make this last, I didn't want to go back to school, I was tempted to ask him, but he would tell my mom. I sighed heavily looking out the window as Jacob started driving down the long winding road that lead to La Push High School. I felt a gentle squeeze on my hand.
"Happy birthday, Alli." He said smiling looking at me for a second before turning his attention to the road again. I sighed heavily. It wouldn't be a happy one.
"Thanks." I said softly staring out the window so he wouldn't see my face, but I watched as he passed right by my school. "Uhh my mom is going to flip out if I don't go to school."
"Your mom is cool with it. She actually suggested it." Jacob said continuing to drive. I just sighed happily and watched out the mirror wandering where we were going. He drove us out to the middle of the forest looking for a 'certain' place, I think he was just lost. I looked at him as he continued on parking under a sign that said 'the magical garden'. I looked confused. "I think you should know something, you're old enough to know now."
"What are you talking about Jake." I sighed as he told me to get out and I did as he asked and followed him out of the truck and there was a guy in the garden I didn't even recognize he was pale and had golden eyes with bronze hair. I hid behind Jake a little because he seemed a little intimidating.
"Thanks for helping me out here Edward." He walking up to him and shaking his hand* laughing and chuckling.
"So this is Alli?" Edward asked pointing at me, Jacob nodded with a his oh-so familiar goofy smile that made my stomach suddenly catch butterflies. "Nice choice." he added laughing. Jake rolled his eyes and elbowed him playfully in the gut.
"Protect her till I come back." Jake said running into the forest, leaving an awkward silence between the two of us as I swayed slightly.
"So how long have you known Jacob?" I asked smiling politely at him. He chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
"For a while, about 4 years now. I know you've known him for much longer than I have." He said in a smooth velvety tone I nodded slightly digging my heel into the dirt. I saw a huge russet coloured wolf come out of the woods, I could practically feel my eyes bugging out as I backed into a tree behind me. The wolf slowly came up to me with familiar chocolaty brown eyes and laid down right in front of me and I couldn't comprehend what was going on.
"Jacob wants to let you know that this is what he wanted to tell you." Edward said gesturing to the wolf in front of me. I shook my head in denial and and turned around and started running in the opposite direction of the animal still in wedges in all. I kept running and didn't look back I heard howls coming from behind me then I saw the same wolf from the corner of my eyes and started running harder and faster and ignored my legs screaming at me to stop, I couldn't, this was some sick joke, wasn't it? It had to be.
That's the last thing I remember. It all being a sick joke.
Jake's POV:
I knew it was too early but the persuasions of my dad, Alli's mom, Seth, and my sisters, convinced me to tell her, and now she laid here unconscious with blood basically pouring out of her head I panicked I turned back into human form and shoved my shorts on and shook her body violently thinking that she was just sleeping and I could wake her up, but I couldn't I held her in my arms sobbing, it's all my fault, she could die because of me. Edward stepped closer to us.
"STAY AWAY!" I screamed holding Alli's face close to my chest, petting her now blood soaked hair.
"Jake I can take her to Carlisle he can fix her." Edward said and he was right, he was faster than anyone or anything, I slumped Alli over his shoulder and got in my truck riding it to his house. and once I got there sure enough Alli was laying down in a bed and was still unconscious I was in disbelief.
"It was a pretty serious trip she had, she sprained her ankle and has a small fracture in her calf, her cut required stitching but she should be fine in a couple days or in a week or two." Carlisle smiled at me, funny, how he thought this was all good news, it wasn't, most of it was horrible, I kneeled down next to her and I wouldn't leave until she was awake and in my arms.
Carlisle cleaned her up and she still looked beautiful but the idea of her being like this because of me, made me horrified.
At first hours went by, then days, then weeks. I was starting to think she wouldn't get better until that one fateful day she opened her eyes and looked up at me and said.
"Who are you?"
A/N: Ughhh it pains my heart to write chapters like these... specially Jacob's side.. right in the feels guys... I hope it struck you in the feels too. But anyways yeah...
* This is set after him and Edward are friendlier with each other but in a world w/o Nessie (It's not that I don't like her she's just unnecessary for this story)
