A/N: So thank you guys so much for reading my story! I don't have much else to say.. Okay so this is going to be an extra long chapter, BECAUSE I SAID SO!

Chapter 6: The man I am now

Jacob's POV:

"Who are you?" Alli asked looking at me from her make shift hospital bed Carlisle had her in. I smiled and laughed think she was joking with me.

"Come on Alli, it's me." I said smiling at her I looked at her confused face as she shook her head.

"I don't know who you are." She said sighing softly.

"What grade are you in?" I asked hoping she didn't forget everything, I didn't want her to forget her strong personality and crumble into the child she was before.

"I'm a Junior, but I really don't think that's your business." she said scooting away a little and turning on her side so her back was to me.

I broke right there, I was the only thing she forgot, the only thing her mind threw away, I felt the tears pouring down my tan cheeks, the others could see I broke too, Edward and Emmett pulled me outside.

Alli's POV
I turned to my side so the stranger wouldn't creep me out anymore. A seemingly nice blonde man in a sweater came up next to me and smiled warmly.

"I'm Dr. Cullen I'd like to ask you some questions, it seems that you have amnesia, do you remember anything about the day you moved to your house?" He asked smiling. I thought hard and it wasn't in my memory, I tried thinking even harder and I couldn't pull it from my memory, it was lost somewhere out in the depths of my brain.

"No, I don't. Sorry, I remember everything but that." I said smiling a sad smile.

"Okay I'll call your mom to come pick you up. Do you know her number?" He asked me, I nodded and told him the numbers, I sighed softly and sat up swinging my legs over the side I hung my head down. I waited a good 20 minutes before I was picked up by my mum. I got out and went into her minivan.

"So what happened?" She asked curiously, I could tell she knew what happened and wanted my side of the story.

"Nothing happened, so what's happened at the house, Dr. Cullen told me I was out for about a month." I said looking out the window.

"Not much just people being worried sick about you, so how did you and Jacob spend your birthday?" She asked kindly.

"Whose Jacob?" I asked looking in the rear view mirror to look at her. She had a sad expression on her face as I said that.

"I'll show you the pictures when we get home." She said looking disappointed slightly, we got home rather quickly, "So you don't remember anything about him?" She asked and I shook my head softly.

"Is he dead or something?" I asked seriously and she sighed shaking her head.

"You loved him very much." She said holding my hand gently and lead me into the house. I followed her and sat on the familiar couch. She went through our book case looking for something, She pulled out a scrap book that had "Alli and Jake." on the cover and she sat down next to me and opened up the book to reveal pictures of me and that strange man. "He was always there to protect you, and he will always be there to protect you."

We went through the pictures for hours and hours, I smiled upon the pictures wishing I could remember him, but I couldn't he seemed like a distant object one I couldn't get a grasp on but wanted to. I looked scanned the house finding evidence he was a big part in everyone's life in this house. I looked back at the photo album seeing a picture of me and him hugging, and I could faintly remember what I was feeling, despair to see him with someone else but I don't remember him remotely.

It's like he vanished out of no where, as if we never met.

~A couple months later~

I've grown to know Jacob better now but I feel upset that I can't remember anything about him, He told me everything about him and some about me that I didn't know, told me about our fun experiences we've had together and other stuff. But you could tell he was hurting, same for me. We were both hurting for the same thing, because I couldn't remember him how hard I tried. Sometimes I'd wander off in the woods trying to search for that last piece connecting me and Jacob from my past.

Several times I got lost, and he had to come get me out, sometimes I'd get closer to finding that piece, but others I get farther and farther from it. It was a frequent thing; me getting lost in the woods, and my mother was getting worried about my mental safety. Jake was too, Mikey would never admit it but he was one of the most worried people about me.

When I was at school kids would shove me into lockers throw me down to the ground, as if I was dirt. I was getting sick and tired of this. I could feel something inside of me grow, like a deep anger that was planted a long time ago then neglected, but it was growing and thriving inside of me. I just on kept on taking the shoves and pushes and name calling, one time I finally cracked a kid pushed me down the stairs and I got up bloody mouth and all ran up to him and threw him down the stairs, I was suspended.

I could tell my loved ones were really worrying about me. I was too. Until I found it.

The piece.

The piece.

I stood there under a sign that said "The Magical Garden", I remember it all so clearly now, everything came flooding into my brain at once, starting from the day I moved here. Everything. I looked down at the ground and fell down to my knees trying to pull up the memory that linked me to this place. I ran my fingers through the wet grass as I heard Jake's voice come from behind it.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" He asked sighing softly, I felt something come over me, I could practically see what happened in this garden a couple months ago, I got up and nodded. "So you remember everything?" He asked another nod. I felt him come up and walk up from behind me I shivered softly feeling terrified. "Let me explain." He said placing his hands softly on my hips, I nodded breathing heavily.

"I protect you, everyone from... certain things. I may be a wolf, but I will still protect you like I have my whole life." He said taking a deep breath as he put his head on my shoulder I nodded softly. "And part of me being a wolf is that there's this silly thing called an imprint, and you can't control how you feel around them it's like being in love but 10 times worse." He said softly. I nodded feeling tears in my eyes.

"So.. Christa?" I said hoping he wouldn't hear the pain in my voice but it was clear to me that there was, I grabbed the fabric over my chest feeling a crippling pain centered in that area.

"No." He said simply turning me around and wiped my tears away,I hadn't noticed till now it was raining. I looked into his deep chocolate eyes that made me drown in them every time. "Christa, she's a nice girl, she's pretty, smart, but she's not my imprint, you are." He said holding me close and protectively. "I would give my life for you, protect you till the end, and you made me the man I am now." He said whispering into my ear, his shirt was wet and so was mine but I've never felt so warm in my life.

"You're to thank for who I am, you made me smart, you made me care. From the moment I saw you, I loved you, and I felt guilty for it especially now, I mean you're only 15." He said holding me by the waist. "But you're more of a woman than anyone else I know." He whispered softly.

I stayed there silent holding onto him and he was silent to with his head on my shoulder his back bent over to compensate for the height difference. I put my head on his shoulder. We got soaked by the pouring rain. But this is all I've ever wanted. I could feel tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Please say something. Just to let me know you don't hate me." He said softly.

I pulled myself off of him and he straightened himself up.I smiled at him and held his hand.

"I could never hate you, I love you Jake. I always have. maybe not like this when I met you but I've always loved you."
